Hi there,
I’ve got a Targus Lap Chill Matt (Laptop Cooling Pad 15 - 17" Laptops) but the USB port had worn out and require a new replacement. Does anyone have any examples on how to replace the UBS port from a Laptop Cooler Pad?
Thanks!

Hi,
Just wanted to say huge thanks to you for this guideline! I have a Cooler Master Notepal L1 and the fan kept making noises. But now it works totally fine after I was able to open the cover.
Thanks again!
