Clean the old thermal paste both from the cooler and the CPU. It is best to use isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs or paper towel, but be careful not to go too hard on the CPU.

It is also recommended to use compressed air to remove any dust in the laptop and the fan. You can open the fan to clean it from the inside.

I have one of these. Is thermal paste replacement necessary? Except for a battery issue that just arose and I intend to fix with a battery replacement, I hadn't noticed any problems with the unit's operation.
Hello,
It really depends on how heavily you use the laptop and in what physical environment. It is generally a good idea to replace the thermal paste and dust the device once a year, or once every two years, to keep it from overheating and burning a chip. However if you dont have information on whether this was performed in the past, it would be good to be done.
I only took the back of the case off earlier this week when the battery stopped taking a charge. I have owned this laptop since new and this has never been done. The laptop is used daily all day. Maybe I should consider it. I thought that it might be something that some people do that is not necessary. Thanks!
Your laptop was released in 2018 so it is probably out of warranty by now. And yes, for that time period it is necessary to perform this change. Be sure to use quality thermal paste (Arctic MX-4 or Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut are my favourites).
Battery change is also pretty easy on this model, you just have to be careful with the connector when disconnecting/reconnecting.
That is good to know. My next question would have been what quality thermal pastes to consider for this job. If it makes a difference, I guess that I will get some and do that when I change out my battery, which seems to be dead.
