- Hi!
No music. No talking. Just work.
If you are taking your HP PROBOOK 4530S laptop apart be careful and wear an anti-static wrist band or use other anti-static device. If you need to change a LCD usually you don't have to take screen out of a laptop. You can leave it on a laptop and watch the last part of the video where I am taking LCD apart. If you need to change a keyboard, you don't have to take all bottom screws out. There are usually some marks, like a keyboard picture, on a case bottom. If you need to put a laptop back to work be aware of screws. They are different and you better remember or mark them somehow to insure that you will put them back in to a right place.
Some laptops I take apart first time, so don't be serious on my time and performance.
If something got broken - ooops, it's your fault.
Believe me, some parts in your laptop are already broken, you just don't see that.
This video is like insurance for your laptop. With this video and some skills you will be always sure that at least you can try to repair your laptop. If it's broken you don't have to sell it or throw it away. You can find some new or used parts somewhere and change it. It maybe will be your new job or hobby. And if it didn't worked out you still will be able to ask somebody else to fix it.
So, just watch this video and fix your laptop.
Have fun and good luck!!

No music. No talking. Just work. -- very much appreciated. Good video.
+James Pelt you are welcome!
Excellent. I had given up on my fan/computer, and figured either the heatsink must need new paste, or the motherboard was shot. But following this video, I was able to get to dirt inside the heat pipe radiator, just after the fan in the airflow (or lack of airflow). I'm sure this is my "run away fan" problem.
Thanks. Much cheaper than a new computer.
Ha! Love your gesturing after pulling the CMOS battery. It is like non-verbally saying "What? That's it. What else are you expecting?"
Thanks, you saved my life :) after a cub of tea on my keyboard, I have disassembled my laptop, and your video helped me to discover some hiddens screws, Everything is ok now :)
Regards
+engkhaledb that's inspiring, truly, comments like that is why I am making these videos! Thank you!
Awesome! This video saved me a ton of money and kept me from destroying the laptop.
I had to replace my cooling fan today. It certainly is a lot of work just to replace a cooling fan on a laptop. On my Dell it would take a few minutes. I followed this video and the service manual from HP’s website. I had to do this repair on an extremely cheap budget, and unfortunately the replacement fan is much louder than the original.
The HP parts center wants $45-50 dollars for a new replacement fan. I got mine from ebay for $6.00. I’d probably recommend buying from the parts store; they "might" provide a better quality fan than the one I received from china. Alternatively I would recommend buying a new laptop rather than trying to repair the HP ProBook 4530s. That is if you have the money available.
The hardest and most time consuming part (at least for me) is getting the keyboard and also the top cover off, without breaking or messing up any of it.
Thanks for this video, it did help!
Some dogs can never be trained. My skill of disassembling things is so good, by the time I put it back together, I always ended up with extra screws sitting on the table. :D.
I find extra screws with every disassemble of the same notebook. And i never find that holes to place them back on next disassembles.
Good Morning! Thank you for sharing this great video. It helped a lot. Light and peace! Hugs from Brazil!
Thanks for sharing this. I found this particular laptop unusually difficult to work on. It uses Torx screws (#10), and the problem you had getting the case open was the same for me. I would suggest that instead of using that sharp knife (if that's a Swiss Army, it's very sharp) you use a iSesame opener or something like it. I thought there was going to be blood before the video was over. :)
Thanks for posting this. I was about to clean the fan, but then I said: Naah, life is too short! :)
Oh, that's funny :)
Is it necessary to take out all of that bottom stuff just to clean the fan, or can it be done threw the top?
We had to repair our touchpad and you helpt us very well thank you very much.
And now everything is fixed again!
Thanks Lisa
Lisa K! Lisa, thank you so much - great news! I am glad it helped!
Thanks for the Video. I repair laptops and this HP is PITA to get apart. Tops my list of the most difficult.
Thank you for this! If I get up the nerve this is a PRICELESS tool! Have a great one.
Hello It is the best channel for dismantling laptops. Thank you for your videos.
But I would like to see the instructions for disassembly and cleaning of the cooling systems in HP ProBook 4730s. I apologize for my English. Greetings from Ukraine.
Thank you brother, saved my work. Cheers from Brazil São Paulo. 👊👏🚀
Excelente vídeo! Formato ótimo de apresentação! Parabéns e obrigado..
Hi, thanks for the video. I have saved it to watch over and over so I can do it myself. I have the same laptop but I wanted to see how to fix the audio jack. there is a broken piece of my headphone jack inside. Please what is the best way to push it out or remove it? Thank you.
Good news that power jack can be unplugged. Get another DC jack, plug it in (maybe old one was unplugged...) and check it out.
Thanks. I just needed the first 26 seconds
Hi, if fan isn't very dirty, you may need just to open this cover and try to clean it with airblower and if it will not help, you may need to take it all the way apart to remove fan and heatsink. It is basically depend on how dirty is your fan/heatsink.
Thanks a ton for this. Wish it could've been sooner though...I had to upgrade mine's internal hard disk to 1TB which was available online at a bargain; but I was too afraid to do it myself...searched here but found nothing- ultimately it cost me 500 bucks (=$10) at service centre just for those 30 secs of wizardry!!
Жёсткое нападение с Виктрориноксом на ХПшку)). Он открывается от тача. Видимо ты не любишь ХП))))) А так-клёвое видео! Молодец!
я сначала подумал что твой комент - спам про нападение кого то на кого то, но потом понял что твой коммент про мое видео и ноут HP. :)
Я ко всем ноутам одинаково подхожу, только с ножиком. Спасибо!
Hi, sorry for late response. I am not sure you will be able to add 3rd generation of processors to this laptops motherboard...
I think this laptop is amazing, I've just bought one. It's on the older side of the brands since this is a 2009 model, but with Windows 8 installed on the system, it really contents and beats some of the 2015 laptops, that being said the AMD dual core processor does tax it's self quite a lot to do the most minimum of tasks, but it is a cool running and brilliant designed laptop, sadly HP loose some points as they made the laptop with the slide off inspection panel on the bottom, and then fucked it up by then having to take the top part of the chassis off when they could have implemented an access point from inside that nice slide panel.
Baron_Gamer yep, you are right!
You are right, this laptop was first time in my hands.
Thanks for the video bro. Helped me replace my worn out old fan. Cheers.
Hello,
if you are talking about 2nd gen and 3rd gen processors, it is usually not possible to change 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 2nd, because of the motherboard.
Hi, usb on the left side is on motherboard, so it will be not possible to replace as easy as another side USB.
Hi,
it is pretty easy. Take peace of paper, sign all screw holes on it, where they are located, like a map, put screws there - put screws back. All cables and wires - either watch video, or make your own pictures prior to removing them and everything will be fine.
If there is a little damage, you can use a clear tape, but I don't think it is necessary, unless without clear tape you can't put it back.
Oh finally now i know how to change the hard disk thanks a looot
Wow, you really know what you're doing. Congratulations. Just out of curiosity: Do you reassemble all of that together again after the video? How hard is that?
Hi,
you can buy same as you have right now or upgrade it to ssd too... all depend on your budget...
Why do you think it doesn't work anymore?
Can you please do a video on how I can clean my fan and heatsync HP PROBOOK 4730S
Thank you very much!
You will need to remove a palmrest in order to unplug video cable on the motherboard. you may keep motherboard in place, because after you will remove a palmrest, screen will be accessible...
Thanks, that's what I am doing. Going forward. But you are right, I and anybody else who is doing it can slow down a little :)
Good vid, but I agree on card vs knife. Also, that static strap does you no good without being hooked up to a strap connected to ground on the wall socket or at the very least to a ground strap clipped to metal frame (such as alligator clip) on whatever you're working on. That's what the metal nipple on the strap is for. Just having the loop on your arm with no attachment does nothing. Here we use anti static coating on the floor with heel straps and wrist straps plugged into a wrist strap distribution block connected to ground on a wall socket.
Maybe also CPU, but you need to dig in to specs of motherboard and CPU you want to use... determine what chipset it is and what CPU can be used ... also look for what TBU is ok for this laptop.
Thanks for replying . I really appreciate it. I will let you know when it's over. Enjoy!
Hi, yeah, this is very sad news, if my hard drive will fail it will be a disaster. Although I have a backup, bud always something new and some thing didn't backup yet.
Why do you think it is completely broken, hard drive?
your disassemble skills are unmatched. I have a question pertaining to the HP Probook 4530s that you so quickly tore down to bare chassis. I need to replace the cable from the motherboard to the screen. Do I really need to tear it down all the way to get to the connector on the mother board?
hi man! nice video you got there! I just want to clean the dust out of the fan in my 4530s. Have you found a minimum number of screws to take off so i don't have to diassemble the whole thing? Thanks
It will be hard to remove... it is all about your creativity. if it is sticking out, you may grab it with pliers :) (but in this situation you will not ask me here) maybe you can glue it and remove it when it will get fastened, but it is dangerous, because you may glue something else too ...
In the worst case you will need to change audio jack (good news it is not on motherboard and replaceable).
Are you talking about this big cover that covers pretty much everything? You can remove it but it will be not safe to use it like that
If it will not disturb to close this big door and if it will allow to place hdd back, I would put it back even if it is damaged a little...
Hi,
sorry for late response, I don't think it is possible to replace GPU, it is soldered/glued to motherboard...
regazzz it is possible but it's more work easier just to replace the motherboard
So I had to replace my system fan, but after putting it all back together the system will use the battery but won't charge it. And at the same time, it will start up without the battery inserted. Do you happen to know which connector I missed?
Hi,
Is it possible the replace the USB on the left side of HP PROBOOK 4530S. it looks like the right usb you did , but what about the left ( near the HDMI port )
thank u very much
There are only two things that rotate in a laptop.
Fan and hard drive (if not SSD) :) So, if hard drive fail it will be more clicking sound, not like juice machine :)
actually he's giving away in exchange with probook without any charges and specifications are almost same except one express slot is not in Vaio. Thank you again i really appreciate your reply.
q tal amigo le voy a cambiar el disco duro x un ssd pero al ver tu video quiero preguntarte hay como cambiar el procesador por una i7 de 3ra generacion x la mia es de 2da y cuantas ram se puede poner en la compu...???
gracias
Go for it! HPs are pain in a butt! :)
Wow, I need to replace the power jack on mine...
Even as programmer & breadboarding enthusiast this intimidates me lol
Anyways, thanks for the video, man!
If you move a laptop fan makes noise? Maybe something is unscrewed? :)
Holy shit. I am dreading doing this. I think I'll get someone to do it for me. I need to replace fan and that is just wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much work.
Thanks for the video.
Fierce Robert You are welcome! I was in your position too. Broke a laptop finally :))) Not this one, some first one long time ago. :))) Ask a pro technician - just find a trusted one.
regazzz i could do myself... 1. im lazy. 2, seems like a lot of work to get to the fan
+Fierce Robert Lol The same here, I need to go through all these in order to replace the fan only!! Hope you have made it anyway
Ahmed Abdu
not yet. contact me if you do.. we can help each other LMAO! im dreading!
Actually I like my probook 4530s because I easily added second SSD hard drive to it, and after a year and half I had no problem with it but today suddenly fan starts makes weird noise when I move laptop.
do you have any suggestion? it seems there is no easy way to replace FAN or repair it (because noise start when ever I change laptop position)
hello there .
have some issues with my lap after taking it apart and replacing the broken fan !
well every thing seems fine !
that one thing that I notice is that the lid sensor doesn't work
which I know cuz its socket was broken I didn't mind leaving it un fixed
the thing is can it affect my lap besides not closing the screen ! when I close the lid !!
does it have any thing to do with the problem I have with my apps and games !!
You can look for any SATA drive... it should work.
Does a picture appear on external monitor?
Hi man! You've got very useful video! If you know, answer, please. Can I change Radeon HD 6490m GPU on HP Probook 4730s to nVidia Geforce GT 650m?
Thank you very much, but please if you could tell me the code for the HDD because i don't have it..
it doesn't work due to something called "click of death"
the HDD doesn't send any data to the CPU ..
I am sure you need to make a video about that! Just in general how to remove this thing out!!! :) Have a good luck!
:) Sorry, I can't, if you will find some useful program for that - please let me know.
So I only have to press those "battery" buttons and unscrew the screw to remove that big cover?
I just wanna replace my hinges o.o since my right hinge won't allow me to close the laptop screen...
J'apprécie! ça m'a aider à décanter la situation que j'avais, concernant la même marc de machine. merci bcp!
Thanks needed this seem my 4530s just died no power no lights
I got my mother killed somehow. Now I'm really thinking of gettin in replace. Superb video!
Nežinomas Asmuo I hope you did it!
Hey,
My HP probook stopped being able to charge. i have tried new batteries and new chargers and nothing works. so im pretty sure its the wiring from where u plug in the charger, to the battery. Any ideas on how to fix this?
is there anything besides the RAM or Hard Drive you can upgrade? i currently have this model and trying to see what i can do to it to make it a bit better for gaming
I have a question, I have the same hp laptop and my hard drive failed. I did not make any back ups and my laptop still works. How do I go about this predicament?
I hope you fixed this laptop!
Thank you for this video, i have a question and i hope you can help me
my HDD doesn't work anymore and i want to replace it
could you please tell me which HDD is compatible to my laptop "which is Probook 4530s too"
and which code has this right HDD
thank you
I have a question, I have this same laptop and my hard drive failed and I did not make any back ups, how do I go about this predicament?
Thanks for reply, regazz.
Is there any tips to remember this thing? I'm just a newbie and often forgot where I have to put screws in :(
the cooling fan is not operating correctly .... help pls ? is there any way to fix ? or just replace the fan ? with new one
Right at the beginning, I took out the battery. The first screw was missing and I still couldn't move the bottom plate using the two battery release somethings (don't know their names).
Hi! It will be hard, you have to do pretty much same what I did, because there are no work around to remove a fan..
hey there i have probook and it works well when the charger is connected but it says no battery is detected.. i changed the battery and the charger but got no any deference... do you have any idea how to fix it ?
In your opinion, is this laptop well built coparing to the other laptops of the approximate price?
if i want to replace only the fan. Do i have loosen up almost everything
Hello, yes, you should remove a palmrest and pretty much everything in order to get to a fan.
tanx
To clean the cooler I need to disassemble the whole laptop?
why is there dont touch at the end?
and maybe u could help me. i have probook 4540s windows8 and i am trying to undervolte cpu. can U suggest any program for it? cant find up anything that i can both launch and understand :D
my dad's friend was asking me to replace my this 4530s laptop with new Sony SVE151290x which he is importing.
so i need your advice should i replace it or not?
i couldn't make any choice because i like my probook's metallic palm rest but sony is all plastic :(
Thank you for video, but I think you shouldn't use pocket knife for removing palmrest, making easy scratches, use a creditcard.
Hello, thank you for commenting.
Some laptops being reassemble and some not, some being part of other laptops. Re assemble is not hard if you remember where screws go and wires. Some laptops have complicated amount and types of screws. So you better remember where this screws go exactly.
Hello regazzz, do you know if you can access the battery CMOS (bios) under the keyboard ? Thk you
I have an HP probook 4535s and the fan to it suddenly stopped working and so my laptop heats up very fast now and i'm not sure what to do i was planning on opening it myself to figure out the problem so that it will save me the trip of having to pay to get it fixed any suggestions?
My 4530s wont charge batteries but will run off of a battery charged from another 4530s. Could it be the charging ic or firmware related?
Добрый день. Мне как раз нужно поменять только вентилятор на процессоре. Если можно, в минутах этого видео. На каком этапе его можно сменить? А то я так понял, он до последней секунды так и не был отделён от радиатора.
Заранее спасибо.
Привет,
если на ebay fan продается отдельно от heatsink - значит можно заменить просто fan. В последний момент, когда я положил его на стол - там должно быть видно три или четыре маленьких винтика. Если их отвинтить - получится вытащить сам вентилятор. Другой дороги до него нет, может несколько деталей снимать не надо (которые не мешают съему материнки)
Удачи!
hey man I just want to take your advise I want to upgrade hp 4530s processor which is " intel core i3-2310m " to " intel core i7-3840qm " I wanna ask is it compatible with the hp probook 4530s or not ??
and the other question shout the mirror thing on the top of the processor should be exactly the same ?
I ill appreciate your reply
How do you replace the touch pad please?
I have a question, I have the same laptop and my hard drive failed and I have no back up, how do I go about this predicament? The actual laptop is 100% functional but the hard drive isn't :$
Great video. But oh man, i'm gonna have to disassemble the wholm pc just to replace the DC charging port
Unfortunately I couldn't go any further passed 00:22. I took off the screw and then I tried to take off the frame, but it was really tied up with the rest of the body. Since you took it off so easily (less than one sec), I figured something was wrong and didn't continue. I'll try again next week.
The battery lock is used to take that bit off too, if you slide them all the way with the battery out the frame should just pop off
Viktor Lisonek My next week turned out to be "in two months", but YES! I finally did it. And it just popped off, just like you said. I couldn't open last time because I wasn't pulling the battery lock all the way through. Thank you!
Do you see the same on external monitor?
Whats those little solder connections underneath the track pad for it's labeled cn6 and It's really bothering me please someone tell me!
How could you remember all kind of screws and their posistion?
¡Excelente!, gracias logre reparar el equipo
Is it normal for a laptop to be so hard to open and have access to components? Whenever I open some plastic parts in my break.
