This is the GS73VR model, can you do a disassembly of the GE72VR model? I need to replace the GPU fan. Thanks.
May i know thas’ problem with your GPU fan?
The GPU fan does not spin. Like when i activate Turbo boost for the fans , the GPU attempts to spin but fails . Seems like some sort of loose connection maybe. So i opened the laptop and saw the GPU fan is connected, but the wires seem a bit loose on the 4 pin connector end. My location does not have Global warranty, so is there anything i can do on my end to fix this? (except solder). Thanks, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated .
