Teardown / Disassembly - HP Chromebook 11 Laptop Computer 

No I just needed to fix my personal keyboard...now it's won't turn on. I literally didn't do anything

Maybe

Can you help me, this is exactly what I’m here for. I just graduated high school and they let us keep our chromebooks and I’m trying to unenroll it but I don’t know what I need to do

@@miranda5543 i figured out the part is soldered onto the motherboard if it’s one of the chromebook that first came out it’s just wired and you can just take it off but the school system figured that out so I think there’s only two or three years worth of chromebooks that u can actually unenroll sorry I tried too

I am

Thanks !! Glad this video was helpful :):)

Happy to help :) Always here if needed !!

Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)

With the correct tools and going slow, most people will be ok :)

I dont fully understand the question. In order to put the ribbon cable back, you would lift up the clip, slide the cable in under it, and then press the clip down to secure. Is that what your talking about? What time stamp shows the situation your facing?

Sorry :( I have definitely damaged many LCD Cables in my life lol.

Some yt videos show where it is and how it's identified. You might just have to keep searching until you find a video that covers your model.

depends on the exact model but it's one of the ones with the circle around it - but it's divided into 4 sections, the screw crosses those sections and allows power to go through, which is how it enables or disables WP

​@@doggy_ebooks - It's not really any use if you say it's "one of the ones". Any idea how many CBs have screwholes in circuit boards with circles around them?

1. What model Chromebook do you have? Are you asking for help getting the battery out / taking the panel off? 2. Have you tried the steps seen here? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-arZpfqcVoUs.html

Many Chromebooks have very few upgrades. If your WIFI card is separate then you may be able to upgrade it but there are few upgrade options usually. Many Chromebooks dont produce that much heat as they are much simpler machines than normal computers. They dont need the cooling power of a normal Heatsink Assembly. The CPU is most likely integrated into the Motherboard as is the Hard Drive and RAM so they cannot be upgraded independently of the MB.

If you have the same model computer as seen here, then you dont have a SSD. You have an eMMC drive an its integrated into your motherboard. It cannot be easily removed or replaced :(

Did you fix the problem? I had the same exact thing

Glad your all set :)

Thanks :)

For a computer that does not turn on, try this video first; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HHwzA37r4e8.html. Let me know how that goes :)

You pulled the LCD cable out of the LCD and the cable is broken? Is the LCD port broken as well? Usually those cables are fairly inexpensive. Should be able to get one on Ebay for under $10 USD

What do you mean, 'the microchip'? Are you referring to the CPU? What brand and model chromebook do you have?

Thanks !! Glad this video was helpful :):)

In most of these little Chromebooks, the SSD is actually an eMMC drive, and its integrated into the motherboard. It cannot be easily removed / replaced.

The model shown here in this video has neither. It has an eMMC drive which is integrated into the motherboard.

Some Chromebooks are very simple and do not generate that much heat. For those, a large Heat Sink assembly and cooling paste is not required.

In this model computer yes, the drive and the RAM are integrated into the motherboard. They cannot be replaced or upgraded. You can however, add external RAM or an external drive that would plug into the computer.

Most likely, something was loosened or unplugged when inside. Double check all the connections. For a computer that does not turn on, try this video first; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P3I7dDpkJps.html. Let me know how that goes :)

You would usually have to go with an external option. Most Chromebooks have integrated RAM and eMMC drives. They are part of the motherboard and cannot be easily replaced :(

What brand and model computer do you have and whats the issue with it?

@@PC_Monkey The brand is hp and I'm pretty sure the coffee got inside the keyboard thing because the keys are sticky

@@lolltez If they keys are sticky then you may have to disassemble them one at a time to clean inside them :( That can be a pain and you risk breaking the keys, but if its worth the attempt rather than purchasing a new keyboard, then I hope this helps :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M-aYew3NSv8.html

If your keys are not working but are not mechanically broken, troubleshoot them as seen here; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wqrchfpdJ_w.html.

@@PC_Monkey I will let you know I’ll try it when I get home at currently at school now but I’ll see if that works and I’ll definitely let you know

@@APW432 Good luck !!

@@PC_Monkey so, I watched the video and I don’t know where the charger is at this exact moment but I also cannot take my battery out as suggested because it’s an internal battery so I’ll give you the information about it and if you could help me figure something out as keep in mind it is liquid damaged very possibly as I spilt root beer on it years ago ASUS Chromebook model C300S

@@APW432 Is this close enough? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7LS54oF0zuE.html. Also, if your battery is dead, you would need a charger to charge it. You cant really troubleshoot a dead computer without the charger :( Is this your charger? amzn.to/3Io1aRp

On Chromebooks, its usually integrated into the motherboard :(

@@PC_Monkey thanks

@@PC_Monkey you mean I can only expand my hp Chromebook storage thru MicroSD?

@@joshtization Usually, yes. What brand and model do you have?

You cannot install other operating systems onto a Chromebook other than Chrome. They will not support it. If your SSD is integrated into the motherboard, as is the case on many Chromebooks, you cannot upgrade it. You would have to use an external drive hookup.

@@PC_Monkey I've seen others who have done just that (but with different/older Chromebooks). There's also lots of info online about how to do this. Except there's lots of inaccurate info about how to do this. As you can see from my original post; I asked for help regarding this. I haven't used my CB since then as I don't want a Google-approved, restricted storage&use netbook. So what now?

@@forandonbehalfof4753 If you can download Windows onto a Chrombook, I dont know how to do it. I have never done it and didnt think it was possible for most Chromebooks. Sorry. If thats what you want to do Im prob not the one to ask.

@@PC_Monkey - I haven't had anything to do with \/\/1|\/|P|)0Z£ since '98 and just want to install (probably) Mint. I just don't want anything Googly like ChromeOS installed on my CB. It wouldn't have been a problem before but lots of my knowledge and memory decided to take a permanent holiday hence the post 5months ago. I found manualslib.com and it's great for info for my other laptops but they don't cover my CB properly yet (I think it's too new) but they'll probably cover it in the near future. I've seen other YT videos (by trusted people) who've changed ssds, etc. on older models and I can still follow instructions but I can't seem to find them anywhere for my CB. I don't even know if it's possible to do what I want which is making my CB useful (decent storage, decent OS). No need to apologise, though: I just get frustrated that companies like Google don't want to let us think by ourselves OR use our own hardware the way we want. Basically, I want to use my CB the way I want using my choice of software and I suppose as a useful netbook. That's why I want rid of the "write protect" screw crap and access to some kind of manual (or something) so I can use it as something that gathers dust... Thanks for your help anyway and I'll just keep searching...

This is a disassembly tutorial. If you spilled water onto your computer, the best way to deal with it would be to disassemble the computer and let the components, especially the boards, dry for a couple days.

This Chromebook has not hard drive. It has an eMMC drive that is integrated into the motherboard and cannot be removed without special equipment.

@@PC_Monkey ohh I see, okay thank you so much

@@WestNena np :) Sorry it wasnt something easier :( Always here if needed !!

@@PC_Monkey it’s okay, maybe I’ll take it to a shop some day. It was just that I had pictures of someone who passed away on there. But again thank you so much for your reply, it still helped a lot ! (:

yes

This is a Chromebook which means it has a Chrome OS... I dont understand your comment.

@@PC_Monkey I meant Samsung Chromebook Plus V2

@@PC_Monkey wait

@@PC_Monkey I think I figured what I wanted to figure out. If that makes any sense 😅😅

@@asham2784 Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!

Your trying to fix one what? Do you need help with anything?

@@PC_Monkey I figured out the problem was the cords on the display where broken/tetherd so I can't fix it thanks for asking though

@@Traviolence Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!

At 7:36 in this video, the CPU is the clip on the motherboard located to the Right of all the stickers.

@@PC_Monkey so just remove stickers then you can see it

This computer has what is called an eMMC drive. Its slightly different than a normal HDD or SSD. Its integrated into the motherboard and cannot be easily removed

You can try not using one but you kinda need some sort of pry tool to get inside.

@@PC_Monkey is there any keyboard command or something in order to turn the computer on without disassembling it?

I use a small flat head screw driver or a thin metal pry tool to get under it

Shoe horn

I used a spoon lol 😂 🥄

Small chromebooks do not always have fans. They are not supposed to produce that much heat. If your chromebook is heating up too fast, most likely, there is something wrong with the motherboard

In this and many chromebooks, its integrated into the motherboard.

Are you asking how to access it? Can you see how to access it from this video?

@@PC_Monkey yes, and I am on a different chromebook and the bottom part comes off not the keyboard part

@@PC_Monkey like it got stuck above the Ed card slot when I tried to put it in but I shoved it in too much by accident and idk how to access it

@@iiblxssd146 What model computer do you have?

@@PC_Monkey I just pushed the sd card more by accident but then it went through

Help a stranger out. How do I remove the school administrator? What do I need to do inside of the chromebook?

@@miranda5543 factory reset it manually

Most chromebooks dont have removable RAM or a removable HDD. They are integrated into the motherboard.

@@PC_Monkey this is most definitely a chromebook moment

thats quiet chrome book thingy... give core i9 user this for 1year he will be dead
