Please reply to my question about the thermal tape and fan before I can proceed.
"Does any part of the "thermal silver tape" that was torn make contact / stick to any metal part of the fan or just the plastic area on the fan. If its plastic then the tape can be replaced with another type of tape as there is little to
no thermal conductivity from the metal heat sink to the plastic part of the fan. "
I think I have replied to your question.
Does any part of the "**thermal silver tape"**that was torn make contact / stick to any metal part of the fan or just the plastic area on the fan. If its plastic then the tape can be replaced with another type of tape as there is
little to no thermal conductivity from the metal heat sink to the plastic part of the fan.
Thanks a lot,
First of all: I have been encountering this problem since December, 2014, and I still don't even find a new fan/heatsink assembly which can be shipped to me. I only found a single fan in the local Yemeni market with $50. When playing two Videos
on Youtube.com, then the CPU temperatures are very high, although the load is shown about 50% in the core temp. I am very stumbled by how to go ahead/proceed?

Sometimes the CPU temperatures drop into(shown below), although the same work I was doing on my computer (the videos are playing at Youtube.com, and the same websites as the first screen shot was taken).

My other points need to be answered are::
1- HP store doesn't ship to my country Yemen at all.
2- Yes, I think, if I understand you well since I have been struggling with English, that
thermal silver tapewhich was torn makes
contact / stick to any metal part of the fan. (NOTE: there is no metal part of my fan, however, all metal parts are on my heat sink, and the thermal sliver tape is on the small
the vent(airway) of heat sink.)(my heat sink has two vents(airways), one of them on the top in screen shot below is larger than the other one(have you see my image below), the thermal sliver tape is rolled on the left-hand side of the small vent(airway) of heat sink was torn. The thermal sliver tape is rolled on the side of the small vent(airway) of heat sink was torn. That thermal sliver tape begins from heat sink and spans the fan when fan bolted in
the heat sink..
The thermal sliver tape looks likehttps://www.tedpella.com/semmisc_html/semadhes.htm

Note. That thermal sliver tape is used to tighten well the fan to the metal plate/heat sink. As you may know from the images I have posted many times before that my fan will be bolted in
the metal plate by inserting the fan firstly into the vents/airway of metal plate, then I stick thermal tapes, finally I screw out small screws
I don't know where to find thermal silver tape?
3- What requirements are needed to replace a fan? I know these requirements below::
a couple small screws, some copper clips and some thermal silver tape, and **** Isopropyl Alcohol. ****
However, What else is involved I don't know? Also, What is cloth or oily film that does not leave any lint ?
