- Опубліковано 17 лип 2024
- In this video we are opening the HP Omen 17 Model 17-an100ca but will be similar for other models of the 17 and probably similar to the 15 as well. We clean the fans on the omen 17 laptop (could replace them if needed also show how to get to them) While the bottom case is off and the laptop is open we go show how to upgrade the ram as well as the hdd or ssd if that is desired as well. Keeping the fans clean can reduce temperatures and increase the longevity of the laptop.
If you have any questions feel to leave a comment and thanks for watching =)

I have never commented on a UA-cam video before, but this one was so amazingly helpful that I feel compelled now! You made everything clear, down to the number and color of screws, with clear images of what you were doing and which parts were which. I was so nervous to clean out my laptop but I was able to do it thanks to this video. And thank goodness I did - it was FILTHY with dust. Thank you so much for producing this!
You are welcome, I'm so glad surgery went well 🙂
Hello i want to buy screwdrivers but i dont know what size??
Bro, you have probably just saved my 2080 super. This will now be my routine every the months!
Wish me luck. This could be the last time I have access to UA-cam.
did everything end up going well with your repair?
@@christhefirst It did. Thanks.
Thank-you for this! Its so helpful. I'm an absolute novice at all of this and the fact that you easily show us how to do this step by step really helps. I'm saving this video for a day where I can clean and upgrade my laptop.
You are welcome. Happy to help 😊
I just want to leave a nice comment on how thankful I am for this video. It really boosted my confidence to clean out the fans, get all of the dust outside of my case and I upgraded my ram. Furthermore, I changed the battery. Thankyou so much man. People like you are very appreciated.
It's been about 11 years since I used to take things apart to clean them and I totally forgot how much I loved it. Thank you for this learning experience
You are welcome 🤝
Thank you so much for this video! It helped me a lot to get the confidence to finally change the battery and clean the whole thing.
I think this is the most helpful video i've seen for my Omen model. Everything works perfectly fine again. :D
You are welcome 😊. Have fun with the job!
@@thecollegepicker I did have fun. Thanks! 😊
great step by step breakdown and very helpful video, thank you for the explanation!
Thanks man, your guide and tips helped me clean up the laptop, its performing like new now!
Happy to help 😊
This is honestly the best video in this it’s well made and quality is good I can actually see
*Appreciate that =)*
perfectly explained thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
probably the best video around.
Happy to help. 🙂👍
Thank you very much mate
I had fan issues and this really worked
Best UA-camr around!!!
You've earned yourself a subscriber
You are very welcome. That bottom case is tricky! Good work mate and thanks for the kind words 🙏
As a total novice into dismounting a laptop, I'm thankful for this video, it's easy to follow and well explained!
Goat 🙏🏼
Happy to help 🤝
Best instructions ever keep making more on this laptop😊
Thank you. I just had to replace both fans on my Omen (both fialed simultaneously with a power surge). I was not looking forward to trying to figure out what to remove but this video helped me a lot. With your help my new fans are installed and they work!
Oh wow good work man! Happy to help 😌
how and where did u get the new fans?
This was really very helpful! I was getting loud noice from the fans because of dust! Now my laptop is silent like before!! Thank you so much buddy!!
You are very welcome. Happy to help 😊
Time to go get some more studying back in and a little bit of gaming all thanks to you my friend. Thank you.
You are welcome
You make it look so easy. I'm shitting my pants.
🤣🤣🤣 take it slow and easy.
I would brush the dust off parts over another surface besides the exposed innards of the laptop. Other than that nit picky thing, this was great! The battery is failing in my Omen laptop, so while I have it open to replace that, I will do some cleaning and clean the fans like you did here. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I found it helpful.
Thank you so much!!! I fixed my fan finally, something was stuck between my fan and after fallowing you step by step I was able to fix it myself.
Oh good! 🤝 Glad you got it going
Thank you, this helped so much as one of my fans has failed to operate and I need to replace it. I used this video to clean them thinking that would fix my problem, but one of the fans is still failing to operate so I guess the next step is to replace it
I have a newer model and this helped me with exactly what I needed done! Thanks a lot man!
Your are welcome. Was the process pretty much the same?
@thecollegepicker Yeah it was nearly the exact same, just screws in a few different places thats all
Thanks for making this video. I could clean my laptop. Which was needed😅
Thanks a lot! Appreciate this vid
This was a very good demonstration, thank you. I have a similar model 17" Omen laptop, 17-AN012DX. One significant difference of note is that the left fan's housing was connected to another heat conductor that rests, with thermal compound, on several items in the center of the motherboard, held down by three of the large, shallow black screws like what hold down the grill cover plates. This small difference was obvious and intuitive to figure out. I was able to remove and re-seat this component without incident. Other than that, the process was identical and my laptop no longer runs its fans at full speed just from turning it on. Cheers!
Ayyy awesome. Glad you were able to take what you need and adapt the rest 💪🙌
I have a similar model and was just about to perform a clean, thanks for the heads up :)
Guys i followed this tutorial the exact same as my laptop, now my laptop wont turn on, the power gives one red light once and the laptop turns off, help pleaseeee😓😓😓( i disconnected and reconnected the battery while cleaning)
@@naregartinian7987 I would first suggest you go through the process again, as maybe something isn't quite connected correctly. Remember to check every single connection is in.
Besides loose connections, the only other thing I can think of is somehow a cable or transistor or something was damaged. In that case, if you don't have the tools and equipment to check every part individually to find the route source of the issue, it may be a computer repair shop job. There may be other things you can try that haven't immediately popped into my head though!
@@legendswithlee6508 Everything is connected correctly, i tried turning on without battery but the same issue still
Super helpful thank you 🥰
Wow!
Thank you so much.
So thorough - just... amazing. Thank you.
You are welcome =)
You are amazing human being ! God bless you !
Thank you, that is mine ;) I wanted to clean the ventilator and changing the battery and didn't know how to open it wiithout breaking the locks. That looks simple. :)
Thank you very much for this video
You are welcome
good explanation!
Happy to help
Your video help me , thanks you
You are welcome 😊
You saved my computer
Thanks a lot ! From Russia with love😂❤
Just here to get you here $$. You're so helpful.
Appreciate it 🙏
Please do a video on changing the thermal paste on hp omen 17-an198nx , my laptop is heating like crazy
Thank you very much for this helpfull video.
I have a similar computer (Omen HP-17-an112nf), on which I have an issue with the CMOS for the date and time memory.
I didn't find any document or video from hP (and also tutos on Youtub) explaining where we can find this CMOS battery, and I don't seen it on your video. Does-it mean that it's under the main battery or another component ?
I understand that it should be a 2 pins, 3 V, and 210 mAh, but nothing else...
I you have any information about this, in advance thank you
collegepicker thanks so much for this video. i dont think my model has any SSD whatsoever, but its the same model so there should be a slot for it. sorry for my newb question, but do i need to copy everything from my current hard drive to an external hard drive before installing an SSD ?? and load everything back after. and what about the OS, will that need to be re-installed or something?? i havent done anything to this laptop since buying in 2017 so its a mess!!
Want to replace the battery as it is shot. Got inside. Two screws out. Two are just spinning but not coming out. I assume they got cross threaded when the machine was assembled and are stripped. Any ideas/suggestions for getting them backed out?
How much time did you have since the last clean, my Omen has a 3 year warranty, I have had an entry level MSI laptop before, and I used for 3 years, I really did have the msi a rude use and still works fine with no fan clean or termal past change, I wanna know if my 1 year old omen can hold more time without any improvement, Thank you!
Hey ! Is the 16 gb ramx2 u put in the desc matching with this pc ?
Hi , i followed your tutorial and once i completed cleaning my fans, now that i try to start it , the power button blinks and there's nothing on my screen , do you by any chance know what might be the issue and how to resolve it?
Will any screw driver work or would it have to be a non-metal one because it might scratch?
Thanks!
You are welcome.
Thanks a lot, I was scared as hell to do this by my own but now I can give it a service anytime in the future.
PS: What kind of ram should I buy?
You are welcome. I linked compatible ram in the description.
On my Omen 17 the fan seems to be welded to the exhaust vent? remove all screws and it seems sealed to the tube???
I have an Omen Model 17t-w000 I can't seem to find any videos specifically for my laptop. Do you know if the one you show here is set up like my model? I need to replace my keyboard, upgrade some stuff ... I don't want to open it up on the off chance it's not laid out the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey man! Thanks for the video, it's very helpful! As a bit of constructive criticism, you could use some full time video autofocus tracking for when you're showing a piece above the table closer to the camera, so we can see the detail of what you're showing!
Still, the info it's there and I'll be cleaning my Omen 17 soon.
QUESTION: the reason I'm cleaning the laptop it's because the fans are on all the time, from the start, not like before, and even if it doesn't make any rattling sound, the normal fan sound all the time is quite distracting when I'm trying to read or work, or only need some silence. It seems to be overheating quite a lot, do you think the processor needs some thermal paste replacement? Or will the cleaning alone do the trick? Also, where's the processor, is it easy to access?
Hope you have the time to answer, thanks, all the best!
Gabriel
good luck i just finished my surgery
5:20 I tried to pick out the pin things, but I broke some of the pins and the shield thing you pick out. Now the shield is loosely in place on the fan. Is this a bad thing?
I have an HP - omen 17 what type of RAM would you recommend? I currently have a 16 GB (8x2) i am looking to upgrade to 32 GB (16x2)
Is there a common household item that can be used to remove the outer case
bro you're so fucking good at this. it was so easy to follow you. everyone else is so confusing.
btw can you make a video on how to lubricate your fans to stop them from making noise? i tried to pry open the fan on my omen but i didn't go too far in case i broke it
Do u know what size is the screwdriver u are using here. Or if u have an Amazon link to the screw driver.
what type of SSD does it support? Is it M2 PCle NVMe or the SATA SSD?
Having quality tools to do this is extremely important. The $15 all in one tool kit is probably going to give you problems!
Is it possible to lubricate the fans?
my screws onece they get to a point they pop back in what should I do???
From now on, I have literally understood the term of saying "Don't screw up"
I have 17-w033dx laptop.
When I plug it into the charger the light on the side will occasionally go on. But when I touch the power button it won't start. The power button goes white but won't start. The backlight on the power button won't turn on unless it is plugged into a charger also.
I think i might screwed it too ... I forgot to unplug the battery so now it wont turn on , it is keep restart with no turn on and the power led keep flashing ..
Sir how did u fix it ?
Is that a 2080 type ssd as a young buddy of mjne has the an101na hp omen 17 and gonna upgrade his memory from 8 to 16gb. Im wandering does it do dual channel. I dont know if its single rank memory or dual rank. I plan to get him a 256gb nvme pcie m.2 as his 128gb only has a few gig left and theres nothing to remove and dont see anything to remove to gain space
Hi! Can you give me some advice please? What do you think about this notebook versus an Acer Predator Helios 300 and an Asus Rog Stryx G17 G712?
I want mainly great durability and enough cooling to avoid BGA overheat. My old G752 was built like a tank.
I would go with the asus.
Do we need to unplug the pc before putting in ram
The idea of cleaning the fans worked and I cleaned it and now it looks wonderful. When I put everything back the computer stopped turning on. I put everything perfectly fine but I don't know what the problem is. Any idea how to fix it or what the problem is??
I’m having the same issue bro
what shuld i do if the screw is stuck ?, i got it a few years ago and one of the screws are broken, saw that the first time i open it lol
Disconnect the battery pack and the on board lithium battery and then spray lighter fluid or contact cleaner on those dirty fins. Allow it to dry completely then replace all components back to their original positions.
Should I be wearing an anti static wrist band when doing this?
Never heard of those but it probably won't hurt 😹
which screwdriver size do you use?
For the fan the top 2 screws won't turn at all what screwdriver do I use
It should be a philips head
Hi how can I remove the battery
its been 5 months since i brought my omen laptop, should i diassemble it to clean the fans or should i wait for a year then clean it
I would not unless it was giving you heating issues.
Regardless of how experienced you are there is always a chance something could go wrong, especially when working on micro electronics like a laptop, unless you're doing something like upgrading the RAM or storage, I would not
Why do u not upgrade it with a cd hdd caddy ul get 1 more extra hard drive
Can the lcd be upgraded to touch screen? Anyone know
the bottom pannel wont come off in my case, any advise?
It's tricky be patient and work on releasing the clips
I was hoping u gonna replace thermal paste
not today =(
An alternative to the b-7000, if you still have those black tape coverings that were already inside the motherboard that is, cut out a piece of the taping and it works firmly to hold the brackets together so you dont get any ratttling. I just discovered this while looking for superglue or some shit and couldnt find any so i remembered how strong that fucking paper was and turns out, it works pretty well 👍
Questions for anyone in the comments, I changed some setting to try to get the quality up in my games, and now I’m getting 10 fps max, any clue what setting it may have been, I just cleaned the whole thing and the Home Screen is running perfectly no more lag like it was
Mi laptop empezó a ponerse la pantalla en negro y la tengo que apagar desde el panel de control me dijieron que era el gpu
amazing
🤠
@@thecollegepicker Can ya provide us with the screwdrivers sizes? Cause I opened mine today and yea it was dusty but could not access the fans cause the bolts of the "exhaust" (dunno what's called, but it's where the heated air escapes) were too small.
Is it okay to use compressed air on the exhaust fins?
Yeah.
Couldnt not remove the top 2 screws keep hearing a clicking and they dont come our
Same for me! I got one out and I couldn’t get the other out, just kept hearing that click noise.
I have a HP omen 17-an101nia with a 1TB HDD, I want to sawp the 1TB with a 2TB or 4TB harddrive but an external one or is there a specific size that the HDD should be to fit in the laptop HDD space?
Im not exactly sure on that. its a 2.5'' hard drive if that helps =)
@@thecollegepicker yeah, I swapped it out for a 2TB Seagate HDD😌, couldn't get the firecuda😐
@@louisbenedict75 Awesome, so much storafe now! =)
Couldnt get one of the crews out next to the fan, managed to damage the head and now i dont know how to get it out :/
I have the exact problem... The screw just turns but doesn't come out
ssd is M.2 2280?
do we have to unplug the battery when we clean the fans?
It shouldn't be necessary. The laptop's PMU should not be allowing power to get to any components except the power switch and maybe a couple items on the motherboard. Short-circuit protections on all circuits should still be functional, so a dropped screw, for example, should not cause a problem. Unless, of course, you forget to fish it out! :-D
@@daytonduck i see, thank you so much for your help, i really appreciate it :D
How often should you clean the fans
Not often, it usually takes years to buildup a bunch of nasty.
100% amazing video just put 32 gs of RAM and new SSD I'm ready to game
Upgrade 🤝🤙
some of these screws are really hard to open.. I think I just messed up everything
Hopefully you got it all good =)
Grip the handle of the screwdriver with pliers held perpendicular to the handle. Press down gently on the top of the screwdriver with your other hand (just enough force to keep the screwdriver in the screwhead) and rotate the pliers to turn the screwdriver handle. The extra distance gets you loads more torque!
thank god because my fan is making a really fricking annoying noise when I decide to open it
Any updates ?
Sir suggest any auto detect FBA barcode printer
For the skus or shipping labels?
@@thecollegepicker sku barcode
can i clean the parts with vodka?
yo i did everything like u showed but now when i turn on my laptop there’s a black screen and caps lock is blinking, any help?
edit: my laptop is fucked and i gave it for repairs
Is it possible you forgot to plug something back in or didn't plug it in all the way?
thecollegepicker honestly have no idea, i’ll try unplugging everything and plugging it back in, ty for quick response
It's easy to forget to plug something back in and cause a problem. You'll get it working again.
thecollegepicker naw, everything is connected and it still doesn’t work. will do the whole disassembly thing later probably
so what happened@@patrick-hf2fs
How often should one clean this ?
Haven’t cleaned mine in 2-3 years
hey two of the top middle srews didnt come out what can ı do
Are they stripped or are they rivetted in?
@@thecollegepicker sorry ı dont know these things but both of them looks like others but these two just keep turning and suddenly clicked in again
I will be replacing my battery but while it doesnt arrive, can i open it, clean, remove the battery and keep using the laptop without it?
I am not sure, I would wait and do it all at once.
@@thecollegepicker Thank you for the fastest reply on youtube
You are welcome
Since buying this laptop I don't need a vacuum cleaner any more. All dust in my apartment gets sucked up by those fans
Lmaooo
Just wrapping up. I noticed my games were slacking.
Hopefully surgery went well 🙂
What kind of screwdriver is the red one
Ps I am talking about size ex 1.5mm 2.0mm or 3.0mm
I think i screwed it .. i forgot to unplug my battery before cleaning the fans .. so now whenever i turn it on it just keep restarting and the power led (in the power button) keep flashing ..
Anyone can help me ?
The lock key is blinking in a repeated sequences ( blink for 3 times long and 2 times fast )
You need to change your battery (ASAP). I think your BIOS battery is dead
Any luck?
Does it help you if we watch the ads?
I'm not really sure honestly 😅
..after that my omen doesn't turn on anymore.. No sound, no screen, nothing.. Please help
Same please help
@@neverdie9512 I checked every cable connection inside, disconnected and connected it again - after that it worked again. I think my power-button was accidentally disconnected. Hope I could help
HELL THIS IS THE FIRST OMEN WHICH I SEEN WHITE KEYBOARD LIKE ME I THOUGHT I BOUGHT a refurbished laptop because everyone had a red keyboard
Twinsies =)
