W520 cpu fan screws

#1 Post by makaveli559m » Fri Jun 05, 2015 4:42 pm

Hi is there any way to replace just the screws on the cpu fan and heat sink without buying the whole thing?

Those screws are held in place by special washers.
But try this:

I think I have them somewhere, but without the plastic washers.

Hi! I was wondering how exactly would you take off the screws to replace them? I might need 6 of them.

If I recall correctly – the screws are held in by plastic washers on the bottom side of the cooler.

///Maybe I have one 04W1574 cooler in a garage somewhere. It should be in a good and working condition but I'm not sure about the shipping costs to US. Let me know if you are interested.

I took the screws off a broken heatsink, dang those things are hard to remove!
