OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! IM SO GLAD MY MODEL HAS A VIDEO! I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD TO PRY! I THOUGHT I WAS BREAKING EVERYTHING! THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! I DIDN'T KNOW HOW GROSS MINE WAS, THANK YOU FOR THE FULL DECONSTRUCTION
damn i am afraid to open mine as it is not really mine and all i know is it has a lot of like a lot of dist inb the fan as it has never been cleaned in all those years of using it on bed and i cant take such a huge risk of ruining it
SINCE IM PINNED I HAVE AN IMPORTANT WARNING! MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHERE SCREWS GO! they are very specific different sizes and I accidentally dented my keyboard with long screws!
@@wolfgangamadeusmozart8204 hello you have problems of over-ventilation because I have redone this pc for a person I have change the thermal paste, clean the pc but aparaments did not solve the problem yet I know what I do, I wonder if it is not from to the model
I have a hp pavilion g6 that looks like that and has a i3 intel, and the hardrive was wiped because one of my family members put it next to a speaker that has a large magnet. I replaced it and installed Windows 10 on it and it still runs perfectly fine now.
Hi, Just wanted to say thanks. 1) For no music. 2) For no talk. And 3) For helping me take apart a G61. Not the same model but still useful. The fan was busted, cannot believe how hard it is to get to it!
prior taking it apart I would suggest to take a A4 paper and make like a map on it where screws should go back. Maybe two pages :) for different places in a laptop. Also make a picture on how to place cables back. Get a wired anti-static device. Get some simple tools. Get a thermal paste (if you will remove fan and heat sink will be nice to reapply it too) Prepare and you will not need assembling video :) Have a good luck!
Hello, if you will take look at first few minutes of this video where I am removing HDD - you will see that there is also a hard drive connector getting removed. It is easy as 1-2-3 and there is for sure no need to taking a whole laptop apart!
Thank you so much! You gave me the courage to pry the back cover open, so I could tighten the screws on the Ralink RT5390 WiFi card. Now wifi works (Device Manager detects the wireless LAN hardware)!
Is this seriously the only way? My CPU has been getting 60-80 ºC a lot lately, so I wanted to finally attempt to clean it's fan. There's no other way to do it other than removing my keyboard? :/ I'm not even sure how I'd put it all together after all that, without fucking up somehow.
Yes, this is the only way. You really have to disassemble the whole thing. Please do as I did and label every screw. It is the only way to put it back together correctly. It took me quite some time to do this. But it worked...
TheGame4Life I ended up doing it and not only wasn't it as hard as I thought it was also very much worth the effort. I cleaned that baby up, put some new thermal paste on it, put an ssd on it and this laptop is better than ever! I would recommend.
Thanks for this. I found it easier undoing the shell partly and pushing the keyboard up from underneath whilst pressing the latches with a screwdriver to get the keyboard off. Alot easier that is. Without your vid I couldn't have done it.
I've figured out my latest question through a HP bit of documentation. I was working on the AMD model, so the HSF was glued on. Thanks a lot for the video, it is much appreciated!
Yes you can. Try this first prior to take it apart. If it will not help - your choice what to do next :) Hold fan blades, don't let them spin a lot or they can be damaged.
If you are talking about silver one it should be a screw that holding it. Since plastic parts are very fragile in HP, it can be also that a screw hole is broken. After you will take it apart, you may glue or poxy this places if damages aren't huge. Or you can buy a new or used part to replace. But particular hinge cover is on screw, maybe only a screw got loose.
You can try to do it that way too. (funny I forgot it) The only down side will be a problem that all cables will be plugged in to motherboard and you will not be able to remove it. Sometimes, on some model it is also hard to get to this screws that are holding a front bezel. Usually back covers are sold with wifi cables and antennas, in this case you will need to remove them and somehow glue old antennas back. Good luck with your laptop!
That's a good advice! There are different people over there. And it is completely normal. Someone fixing cars, but not computers... someone can cook but not unplug toilette :) Another don't know how to change a filter in air conditioning but he knows how to do something else.
Everything went as it should apart from it not working at first when i put it back togeather. I took it apart again and found i just forgot to put in the wire for the fan. Thank you very very much for this tutorial. I probebly would of broken something with out this video!
Hi, depends on the environment, fan and heatsink can be already very dirty, but also fan can fail at some point. If cleaning heatsink/fan and reapply thermal paste will not help / you may check your fan ....
It wasn't mentioned anywhere, but my 2011 model had the keyboard glued on. You can pry it gently with a narrow screwdriver or blade, but it's a real pain if you don't know about this as I spent ages for maybe a screw I missed on the back..
If a keyboard is glued - this is a real pain!! And also, on some laptops (not g6, but some dv5) there is not a screw but some hook that holds a keyboard. This is even worse. You will be able check that there is no glue, but you will see some type of like a screw holding it ... this is huge!!!
In this case you will need to find a method to clean your fan. Try compressed air first, but hold fan, just to make sure it will not rotate a lot, or it can be damaged. If this will not help - you will need to take it apart, remove fan/heatsink and clean it, but this is serious work.
Got this model from a client for a repair and upgrade job. The WiFi module (ralink) had died and it was shorting out the rest of the motherboard, preventing it from booting up. It was in serious need for maintenance, you wouldn't believe how much dust was in it. The heat sink fins were clogged with caked up dust and dirt, causing it to constantly hit temps over 95ºC. That's pretty bad considering it was only an i3 CPU. I cleaned that sucker out, put on some fresh Arctic MX4 on the CPU, upgraded it with an SSD for the OS and now it's happily purring along and running Windows 10.
Oh, btw, the HDD retainer is funny because it's so gummy and has a pull tab, but I swear the thing would just rip out when pulled from there haha. I had to use parts of the case as leverage and apply a decent amount of force to remove the old HDD.
Yeah, there are so many laptops with similar thing. I especially hate the video cable pull, like on Asus zenbook ux31. Pull ribbon rips and you have to remove video cable somehow else.
Nice job done. Also kudos to the owner who gave you this project as well, because usually people just throwing them away. I had similar overheating on friends g6 2nd gen. Clean up and arctic silver is magic!
@@regazzz Did that 2nd gen G6 have a socketed CPU? My client had the BGA (soldered) CPU version, so a CPU upgrade was out of the question. Still, the i3-370M is not that bad. On a side note: there's been an increased volume of old laptop repairs lately because of corona: people don't have money for a new laptop and the kids need one for attending school from home. Laptops are way too overpriced where I live, $500 only get you the most basic of pentium or athlon models.
@@YeOldeKamikaze it was a removable i3 but friend kept it and after clean up it was good enough for his kid. Yeah, current wfh situations helped I think the laptop repair business. I also refurbished my old MacBook A1278 non pro for my kid. Needed a new palmrest/keyboard/trackpad That means take it all the way apart for this model. But the screen is very good, bright, nice colors. I was lucky to find a great, like never used palmrest on eBay and everything works after replacement for relatively cheap.
Simply check if it works on external screen and if not, you may check that video cable plugged in. At motherboard and LCD by it self (if you disassembled LCD too) If it is connected well - it can be either bad cable or bad LCD. Cable cheaper.
Thanks very much for this upload. Took apart the entire system to clean my fan, and guess what? My computer is dust free and still working. Thanks alot
I would say that either you will try to use a canned air to blow dust and dirt away from a heat sink and fan and if this will not help you will need to replace a fan. First isn't that hard, because you will need to remove a keyboard and palmrest to be able to do so, but to replace fan you will need to remove a motherboard too.
Remove detach cables from wifi card. Remove keyboard, palmrest detach all LCD cables and remove LCD by it self. Remove front bezel and replace hinges. Something like that.
Yes this guy has made my day it's crazy I have to take this apart just to get to the fan T_T but this vid 100% helped me thanks a million !!! Oh also for the people to remove the keybord lift up on the black part were the connection is then pull out don't just rip it out also to remove the monitor wire connection pull the silver part up out not sideways I hope my info helped as well
Some g6's gpu's can be upgraded in a sense. The gpu on the board of the trinity laptops is more of like a north bridge for the graphics but the actual gpu is on the die with the cpu. So if you have an a6 amd cpu you could upgrade your cpu and gpu at the same time just by replacing the cpu with an a8
This video about how to take a laptop apart. Completely. People who watched this video pretty much can figure out what to do in order to clean fan, change hard drive or motherboard or replace LCD. Depend on how dirty is fan and heat sink, for this laptop, if it is very dirty you need remove a motherboard - means remove hard drive, because otherwise you will not be able to remove it. Memory usually can stay, but it easy to remove, so I did it. Have a good luck with your project!
I am pretty sure that any shop can do that, the other question how much it will cost. On the other hand if you will do that, you may brake something and don't even understand what... At the start I would probably suggest to understand do you really need higher cpu then A6, maybe it will be enough. Plus some type of warranty will be gone if you will open a laptop.
Hi, you don't need to remove LCD. Motherboard should be out same as dvd and harddrive. Memory may stay, but you still may need to remove a few screws under memory door.
You may use a rubber gloves. Don't wear some synthetic sweaters or t-shorts :) You better read about static electricity. Just be careful, remember every screw where it coming from. Don't hesitate to take pictures in case you need to assemble it back. Like that you will remember where all cable goes. If something is broken or does not start after assembling it back it will be your fault, not mine :) Have a good luck!
Hello, you will need to do pretty much the same as I did in this video, probably can keep LCD in place... but you will need to remove motherboard, and that's why you will need to remove dvd hdd, you may leave memory, but it is not a big deal in this situation... don't forget about new termal paste, will be nice to re apply it.
I would think on fan and heatsink first. If you will got to a store and find some laptops working whole day there, basically idle almost whole day, you will notice they are also not cold. So, the dc jack is located on the right side, so there is less likely something wrong with chargers. G6 is pretty new laptop, but heatsink still can be dirty enough or maybe some other issues with fan or heatsink. Did you checked laptops temperature?
Some static electricity can still go true gloves, plus in some cases it will be to hot and can be uncomfortable, on the other hand this device I use is also pretty much useless, because it is wireless. I would tell don't wear anything synthetic and if you will get at least some kind of wired ESD it will be a best thing. Have a good luck!
Removing Hard drive and ram is a smallest problem. You may need to remove Hard drive (it can be on the way to remove motherboard) you may not need to remove memory, but still not a big deal...
Sorry for the spam. I figured out how to disconnect the video connector (I put a nail under the top and bottom edge and wedged it towards me steadily). I'm now stuck on the heatsink :) I've unscrewed the screws around the fan and the processor, and in your video the heatsink/fan/heat pipe all comes off easily, but here it seems to be stuck somewhere around the heatsink near the fan.
I have to admit it, after iFixit models who are so nicely and so gentle working on laptops - I do look like a butcher.:) What do you think, should I rename my channel to something like "a laptop butcher" :)) Sounds cool :)))))
Don't know if this is video is of a US Pavilion g6 but it's not a European model.My customer blew in compressed air to clean the fan at the service station and the fan quit, suspect it was the moisture in the air gun, good for tyres not for electronics.FYI: black screen is a GPU fault, external monitor will also not work. I have stacks & stacks of HP laptops with this MoBo issue. HP gave US customer an extra 2 years warranty on their laptops a few years ago but refused it to any other country. My sister worked for HP Galway as a manager in the software bundle division and they even told her to take a hike. Tried reflowing solder on the GPU with very limited success. Best solution is Smith & Wesson at least you know it's beyond repair and get some satisfaction.
It can be pretty much everything... do you hear fan spinning? I would say first check that memory and hard drive are in place. Also check that video cable is till plugged in.
What I can tell, 55-56 isn't that bad, better 45-50 or less. If you do not use your laptop a lot, I don't think it can have a lot of dirt at heatsink. Depend on environment of course. If you are sure what you want to do, you may open it and look inside. Just make sure you will make note or pictures of every step you do. Use also some antistatic device, better wired. Don't mix screws. Make note where they are coming from. Read more about fixing laptops. To get a better picture! Have a good luck!
Stillsurfing I am pretty sure there is no need on doing this type of video. Because this video will be enough to perform this repair. You will need to follow pretty much same steps to remove a palmrest and LCD by it self Motherboard can stay. Hard drive can stay, memory can stay. You maybe need to remove dvd drive, but it is not a big deal. After removing palmrest - remove LCD and watch how I took it apart. After that there will be a few additional steps to change hinges, but it isn't a big deal. Just be careful and remove battery and unplug from power source.
Maybe you can leave few things on laptop, maybe few screws, but since motherboard coming out, I don't think it will be a case. You don't need to take apart LCD :) and probably it can even stay on case.
It can be different, just make sure you will have some antistatic device. Make sure you will remember where screws come from. Be gentle. Take some pictures of every place how it was before, cables etc. You may think you will remember, but usually it is not like that. Have a good luck and happy New Year! Sorry for late response.
There are only to rotating things - one is fan and another is hard drive (I mean part inside of a hard drive) But you more likely have some fan problem. Either it is dying or it is dirty.
I need to replace my CMOS battery. I'm glad you put an annotation for it but I don't see the annotation until you've basically taken the whole thing apart. Is it visible there when you remove that bottom middle part at the very beginning (0:25) and thus can I replace it just at that point? Also, I've had much trouble taking that middle panel off. The screws bend outward at the bottom and down screw off conventionally. Is the only way to get it off by using something like a knife to slip into it and snap it out like did? By doing this does actually break it or can I just snap it back in no problem?
Hi, Internal speakers are under palmrest, up front. On the left ad right side. If you hear some sound , I would think first about viruses and new drivers ... and only after that is cleared - about speakers by it self.
Hi, this video is how to take a laptop completely apart. Depend on how dirty is your fan, you will need or don't need to remove a hard drive. Lets say if fan is very dirty, a bunch of dirt is collected between heatsink and fan you may need to remove fan means you will need to remove a whole motherboard. If it is not really dirty, simple duster will remove a little dust after you remove a palmrest. You will not need to remove LCD in both cases...
You will not be able to replace GPU, because it is glued/soldered to a board. But you can buy a bigger hard drive and you will need to install everything on it prior or after replacement.
Hi, sorry for late respond, g6 isn't a gaming laptop, so, of course it will be very hot while gaming. You may Google for some temp checking program, there are plenty of free programs. I do not any preferences in this.
Great Video. Question : If I have to change the fan, do I need to disassemble the whole laptop ie. taking the hard drive, ram, etc...out or only the casing around? Thanks
thank you very much for all of your replies. it's really help me. i will make sure to don't mix up the screw and will make the video when i will plan to open it. again thank you :)
It all depend on how dirty your fan/heatsink is. This is a take apart video, but pretty much same you need to do to get to the fan. Of course you don't need to take apart LCD :)
yes, sadly, that's what I have discovered. Although my little boys have a had a great deal of fun using it for online games and other older versions of Battlefield. With your video, is it possible to upgrade the CPU and the graphics card to make it into a gaming pc. and a newer larger hard drive too I guess.???? what would you recommend, and where would you get it.. Thanks
Question. I got as far as the taking apart of the keyboard, but when I got to detaching the keyboard I couldn't figure out how to do it exactly. The way you do it in the video is pretty easy and I didn't know what to detach. Everything was very stuck together and I didn't want to break anything. Please help. Otherwise, thank you for this video it's pretty cool taking apart this dusty old laptop.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! IM SO GLAD MY MODEL HAS A VIDEO! I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD TO PRY! I THOUGHT I WAS BREAKING EVERYTHING! THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! I DIDN'T KNOW HOW GROSS MINE WAS, THANK YOU FOR THE FULL DECONSTRUCTION

In actual she is women
You know it's really great that people take the time to share this stuff. So clear and helpful. Thank you.
No music. No talking. Just work. Excellent, thank you very much
HP couldn't have buried the fan much further in if they were determined to do so!
True that 😂 had to take the whole motherboard out to reach the fan
Just opened one up for a friend. There was a layer of dust/fluff 10mm thick blocking the entire exhaust!
Great video! But HP are really stupid: you need to take apart most of the laptop just to clean your fan!

Great Video. It helped me fix a malfunctioning cooling fan. Of course, the Glory belongs to Him.

If something is broken or does not start after assembling it back it will be your fault, not mine :)
Have a good luck!
Hello,
you will need to do pretty much the same as I did in this video, probably can keep LCD in place... but you will need to remove motherboard, and that's why you will need to remove dvd hdd, you may leave memory, but it is not a big deal in this situation... don't forget about new termal paste, will be nice to re apply it.
Yes, you need to remove a keyboard and palmrest in order to get to screws that are holding LCD
I would think on fan and heatsink first. If you will got to a store and find some laptops working whole day there, basically idle almost whole day, you will notice they are also not cold.
So, the dc jack is located on the right side, so there is less likely something wrong with chargers.
G6 is pretty new laptop, but heatsink still can be dirty enough or maybe some other issues with fan or heatsink. Did you checked laptops temperature?
Awesome video. I've disassembled my first laptop thanks to you. Thank you so much and merry christmas!
Some static electricity can still go true gloves, plus in some cases it will be to hot and can be uncomfortable, on the other hand this device I use is also pretty much useless, because it is wireless. I would tell don't wear anything synthetic and if you will get at least some kind of wired ESD it will be a best thing.
Have a good luck!
Yep, HP is like that.
Hope you will fix your issue!
Removing Hard drive and ram is a smallest problem. You may need to remove Hard drive (it can be on the way to remove motherboard) you may not need to remove memory, but still not a big deal...
Sorry for the spam. I figured out how to disconnect the video connector (I put a nail under the top and bottom edge and wedged it towards me steadily).
I'm now stuck on the heatsink :) I've unscrewed the screws around the fan and the processor, and in your video the heatsink/fan/heat pipe all comes off easily, but here it seems to be stuck somewhere around the heatsink near the fan.
I have to admit it, after iFixit models who are so nicely and so gentle working on laptops - I do look like a butcher.:)
What do you think, should I rename my channel to something like "a laptop butcher" :)) Sounds cool :)))))
Hey, sorry for such late response. Yes, more likely you will need to remove palmrest and check for connections. If everything else is ruled out.
Don't know if this is video is of a US Pavilion g6 but it's not a European model.My customer blew in compressed air to clean the fan at the service station and the fan quit, suspect it was the moisture in the air gun, good for tyres not for electronics.FYI: black screen is a GPU fault, external monitor will also not work. I have stacks & stacks of HP laptops with this MoBo issue. HP gave US customer an extra 2 years warranty on their laptops a few years ago but refused it to any other country. My sister worked for HP Galway as a manager in the software bundle division and they even told her to take a hike. Tried reflowing solder on the GPU with very limited success. Best solution is Smith & Wesson at least you know it's beyond repair and get some satisfaction.
+Lorcan Flannery You might need to check my video with Hp G6 2nd generation.

Normally connectors in laptops aren't simply pulled out, a catch or lever has to be adjusted first before the cable connector comes out.
It can be pretty much everything... do you hear fan spinning?
I would say first check that memory and hard drive are in place. Also check that video cable is till plugged in.
What I can tell, 55-56 isn't that bad, better 45-50 or less.
If you do not use your laptop a lot, I don't think it can have a lot of dirt at heatsink. Depend on environment of course. If you are sure what you want to do, you may open it and look inside. Just make sure you will make note or pictures of every step you do. Use also some antistatic device, better wired.
Don't mix screws. Make note where they are coming from.
Read more about fixing laptops. To get a better picture!
Have a good luck!
Oh!!! It is so usual and than people are asking me "what I did wrong?" and I thank you very much that you fixed everything prior asking :)))
Hi. Brilliant video. But I need to change the hinges on my hp. Do you have a video for that?
Stillsurfing
I am pretty sure there is no need on doing this type of video. Because this video will be enough to perform this repair.
You will need to follow pretty much same steps to remove a palmrest and LCD by it self Motherboard can stay. Hard drive can stay, memory can stay. You maybe need to remove dvd drive, but it is not a big deal.
After removing palmrest - remove LCD and watch how I took it apart. After that there will be a few additional steps to change hinges, but it isn't a big deal.
Just be careful and remove battery and unplug from power source.
The whole part is a palmrest. If the connector that locks keyboard cable at motherboard is broken - it can be hard to replace.
Thankyou for your video.But it takes to remove all the components to remove the fan.
Maybe you can leave few things on laptop, maybe few screws, but since motherboard coming out, I don't think it will be a case. You don't need to take apart LCD :) and probably it can even stay on case.
Thank you VERY much! Gonna use this guide in cleaning out the vents of a relative's Pavilion g6.
It can be different, just make sure you will have some antistatic device. Make sure you will remember where screws come from. Be gentle. Take some pictures of every place how it was before, cables etc. You may think you will remember, but usually it is not like that.
Have a good luck and happy New Year!
Sorry for late response.
the access to a fan is possible only after you will remove a palmrest.
There are only to rotating things - one is fan and another is hard drive (I mean part inside of a hard drive) But you more likely have some fan problem. Either it is dying or it is dirty.
there should be a fan dust filter accesible from the bottom case.like those fujitsu lifebooks
IF YOUR KEYBOARD PANEL ISNT AS EASY LIKE MINE!
use multiple cards like memberships, school IDs to ease it, MAKE SURE IT GOES OVER THE KEYS
I need to replace my CMOS battery. I'm glad you put an annotation for it but I don't see the annotation until you've basically taken the whole thing apart. Is it visible there when you remove that bottom middle part at the very beginning (0:25) and thus can I replace it just at that point?
Also, I've had much trouble taking that middle panel off. The screws bend outward at the bottom and down screw off conventionally. Is the only way to get it off by using something like a knife to slip into it and snap it out like did? By doing this does actually break it or can I just snap it back in no problem?
Hi Mariel, if it is not too late, but I am uploading video on how to remove a keyboard right now!!!
In about 30 minutes I will give you a link...
Hi, Internal speakers are under palmrest, up front. On the left ad right side. If you hear some sound , I would think first about viruses and new drivers ... and only after that is cleared - about speakers by it self.
Wow..great step by step.. I was stuck at the keyboard with the screws under it.. ..thanks..
+bangs6996 I am glad it helped!
You may need to change thermal paste and check that heatsink is touching cpu gpu
Hi,
this video is how to take a laptop completely apart. Depend on how dirty is your fan, you will need or don't need to remove a hard drive. Lets say if fan is very dirty, a bunch of dirt is collected between heatsink and fan you may need to remove fan means you will need to remove a whole motherboard. If it is not really dirty, simple duster will remove a little dust after you remove a palmrest.
You will not need to remove LCD in both cases...
Thanks dude, saved me some cash. I needed a keyboard out. The video was very helpful.
GREAT!!! You are very welcome!
You will not be able to replace GPU, because it is glued/soldered to a board. But you can buy a bigger hard drive and you will need to install everything on it prior or after replacement.
if it works on external monitor - means gpu and motherboard good. LCD cable or LCD by it self can be a problem ...
Very useful, thanks :) But to change the fan, do I really need to remove EVERYTHING?? :((
Hi, sorry for late respond, g6 isn't a gaming laptop, so, of course it will be very hot while gaming.
You may Google for some temp checking program, there are plenty of free programs. I do not any preferences in this.
Thanks so so much. I took it apart just to clean the fan and replace the heat lotion.
you mean thermal paste?
Hi,
screws are different, in G6 there is not a lot of screws, comparable to other laptops...
Anyway, better place them in to a correct holes.
:) You are welcome! I actually have video for g61, just not uploaded yet.
If you need it next time and there will be still no g61 - just ask!
It is a solid choice! Completely understandable.
You are welcome Cristian!
Maybe, just look around :) But I don't know if it will work. Make sure you will read more about that prior use.
Hi,
thanks for asking, I think G6 fan placement is very bad. If it is very dirty or fan is broken - you will take apart a whole laptop.
I wouldn't say it is hard to put back. I know laptops that is unbelievably hard to assemble, but this one is manageable. :
Great Video. Question : If I have to change the fan, do I need to disassemble the whole laptop ie. taking the hard drive, ram, etc...out or only the casing around? Thanks
As an IT Technician and having disassembled thousands of laptops I can't say I've ever used a Swiss Army Knife to do so haha!
The best tool to be honest. Guitar picks are getting broken really fast. Any plastic tools not thin enough. Metal plates sorta.good but not as thin.
It can be related to a not connected wifi cables. Or connected cables but wrong way.
Hello regazzz, Very good job my friend! Tell me what camera use and where stick the camera ?
thank you very much for all of your replies. it's really help me. i will make sure to don't mix up the screw and will make the video when i will plan to open it. again thank you :)
It all depend on how dirty your fan/heatsink is.
This is a take apart video, but pretty much same you need to do to get to the fan. Of course you don't need to take apart LCD :)
You are welcome! Thank you!
yes, sadly, that's what I have discovered. Although my little boys have a had a great deal of fun using it for online games and other older versions of Battlefield. With your video, is it possible to upgrade the CPU and the graphics card to make it into a gaming pc. and a newer larger hard drive too I guess.???? what would you recommend, and where would you get it.. Thanks
Question. I got as far as the taking apart of the keyboard, but when I got to detaching the keyboard I couldn't figure out how to do it exactly. The way you do it in the video is pretty easy and I didn't know what to detach. Everything was very stuck together and I didn't want to break anything. Please help.
Otherwise, thank you for this video it's pretty cool taking apart this dusty old laptop.
You are welcome!
