Had to put one of these bad boys back together for some kid from school. Super smart of them

@jennnnnnn13 11 лет назад

The airflow is completely blocked in mine, and two years ago when this happened I got so frustrated I broke the plastic backing covering the fan to clean it and replaced the fan and the back of the laptop. Now I see the actual way to clean it, thank you!! I'm not buying another laptop unless it has a door to access the fan!

@justStardust940 9 лет назад

Is it this hard to access the fan on all newer laptops now, or just the HPs? This is insane; the fan should be the first thing we see when we screw the nails on the exterior.

@900one 13 лет назад

thanks. if my hard drive had not died wen my laptop fell i wud not have searched and found such a useful video...better late than never

@guytarazy3608 8 лет назад

All this, for a fucking fan?!?! thanks HP

@jasonong7049 6 лет назад

Fuck designed on dv4...just to access to one fucking fan on the system

@mikoeeebs 13 лет назад

Just finished cleaning my DV4, it works GREAT!!! The fan was DISGUSTING and dust was covering the grill so air could not get out. Extremely quite and runs like a dream! Thanks for the video, very helpful!!!!!! :D

@melicha05 12 лет назад

MUCHAS GRACIAS!! este video me sirvio muchisimo para destapar mi portatil, llegaba hasta 100 centigrados y ahora despues de una gran limpieza llega hasta 54 o menos. es un video que nos sirve muchisimo a los que no somos tecnicos y queremos destapar nuestro portatil por primera vez. un saludo desde colombia!!

@skeggs 12 лет назад

I love how it looks like you're throwing all the parts across the room

@rvts 13 лет назад

@FastVideoTech Yeah I know it's risky, but I'm gonna try, record everything like u and pray to work fine hehe. I'd love u to check it for me, but I live in Brazil and the shipping would take too long and be expensive. fingers crossed!

@jagman28 11 лет назад

Great Video even on fast motion. I lost my dashboard light afterward, But the laptop is so much quiet now. And its been 20 min since cleaning, TEMP is holding nicely. Thank you.

@cHaRlliSta 13 лет назад

omg your a life saver! i opened my laptop for the first time by just watching this video and it went great! i ended up having two dust strips like the one in the video clogging up my fan. i used silver arctic 5 for the heat sink and now my portable cooler is louder than my laptop :D

@TheMholsten 12 лет назад

You can fix this issue by taking out the following screws: The 4 screws under the battery, use the CD-ROM ejector tab and take out the 2 screws under, the 2 rear hinge screws on the left and right of the bay, 3 keyboard screws, one under the BIOS bay door. Now flip over the unit, removed the keyboard, and take out the 2 screws (black and silver that are on the keyboard cover/function switch cover bezel and unplug the cable. You should now see the LCD cable after removing that last bezel.

@Kay0Bot 12 лет назад

Giant thanks for uploading this video. I did a full breakdown and couldn't have done it without your video.

@TheMholsten 12 лет назад

All of these issues however generally require motherboard and CPU replacements. If are unsure if the unit is POSTing, after powering on the unit, wait a few seconds and attempt to toggle the CAPSLOCK. If it responds and lights up when you press the key, the unit actually POSTing, you however have no video output. This can be confirmed by plugging up an external monitor to the VGA port. A very common issue for this model is for the LCD cable to become unplugged from the motherboard.

@olis_garage 13 лет назад

i had a problem with my fan being seriously loud all the time and almost always on, i tried to take it apart but found it way too difficult and didnt want to damage anything (i have little experience with dissambling computers) so i put it all back. I then found the problem getting worse so i took the handheld end of a vacuum cleaner (the small suction part) and just put that over the fan hole in the bottom of the laptop....worked perfectly, and now the fan makes very little noise at all!

@mithl 12 лет назад

TYVM for this. I don't think I woulda had the nuts to do this without it! I completed the process (about 2 hours in total) and when it didn't boot I was very discouraged, but I reseated the ram chips and voila, good as new (for an HP lol). This saved me from a costly repair or from buying a new lappy. I have only 3 screws left over (2 are the silver sort so if anyone has an idea where they go lmk). I also found the schematic plans useful (google for dv4 schematics and click to hp site).

@Luaenm01 4 года назад

thank you so much, thanks to this video i can dissasembly my lap and clean it without any problem!

@wob303 12 лет назад

first time, and it was pretty easy actually. just keep track of the screws, and take ur time. Thanks!

@DayLeeOwn 13 лет назад

i was wonderin wha was the most time consuming complicated warranty voiding way to break my laptop. thx for helpin me out nd wasting my time nd money

@coryoneill7539 10 лет назад

Not being a computer savy guy. After seeing your video. I attempted and was successful. With some patience this can be done by a novice. replaced the fan works great.

@deercarcas 12 лет назад

thanks for this video, it took me about two hours for the tear down and build up. i am having trouble with a guys dc plug, this kept it from being a whole weekend project.

@danionow 8 лет назад

Thanks a lot for this video! Took it apart and reassembled thanks to your video to clean CPU and change flex wire to the screen and works perfectly !

@TheRealAndrewDeanhardt 11 лет назад

My Gateway has a panel that covers the fan, memory components, and processor, and it is very easy to get to!

@Bands1999 12 лет назад

I got a dead hp dv4 for free, and watched this and it's now up and running .

@hueyco 12 лет назад

Bravo, good work. I was stuck at keyboard and hinge part and now I can attack it again. Thanks.

@Camryn19931 13 лет назад

Vary nice. It was vary helpful when i took my dv4 apart. When i placed it back to gather, it worked perfectly.

@levifarias4936 11 лет назад

The BGA contacts are broken for overheat. Disassembly (at your risk) just like the video above. Use a hot air blower over the BGA for a coupple minutes and reassembly. Take care to don't burn anything. It may work for some days, but this machine has born condemned.

@sotxcomputersonline3764 8 лет назад

If you get the no boot, no video with a flashing num lock and Cap Lock take out the Wifi Cards and try booting... if it comes up swap the locations and then see if if boots with that arrangement... I did that once... ;-)

@mybuttitches 13 лет назад

Perfect manual, helped me service my dv4 flawlessly. Thanks for the upload.

@OsvaldoEscobar 13 лет назад

I liked this video, it helps me too much. Only a thing, the keybord was not well now.

@melicha05 12 лет назад

hola! pues mira yo no tuve necesidad de utilizar el alcohol porque la pasta no estaba tan seca, solo fue limpiarlo y brillarlo con un trapito, en cuanto a la pasta no pude conseguir la silver 5 aca en mi ciudad asi que compre una de esas genericas, solo preguntas por pasta termica o grasa termica para procesadores, y pues a mi me sirvio mucho porque mi compu quedo muy bien!! ya no se calienta tanto :D

@anynamewilldo808 12 лет назад

The HP dv series laptops are a major pain to fix. Most laptops do not make you pull the whole motherboard out just to get to the common task of cleaning dust from the air exhaust port. Nice going HP. This is not a job for amateurs on these systems.

@curemymind 13 лет назад

I'v seen that lint problem in many laptops... But in one laptop the owner kept using it without taking it to me or another professional. And b/c of that it damanged the GPU. So if you are noticeing high heat and turn off's like that then either do a full cleaning like this video or take it to someone. You can damager parts on the board that will make you need to buy a new board to replace the entire motherboard. I use arctic silver 5 simply b/c its a better paste. But 5 stars on this video :)..

@Reap4u 12 лет назад

I don't know if you still care or not but I had this problem and I figured out that is was the angle of my laptop. If I started it up with the screen 90 < 0 degree angle then it turned turned on.

@IdiotaIntegral 12 лет назад

Great video and great description. I have a huge home fan pointed to my laptop and it's running almost at room temperature, but it's so noisy I can't hear my own thinking. I'll take notes of this video and try cleaning it myself, if I don't come back and comment, means I f*cked it up.

@dsteward85 4 года назад

Another much easier alternative for this particular model is to use compressed air and a shop vac. I bought a used hp dv4 laptop on the mercari app as is for $15 because it had an overheating issue. Fixed it in literally 5 minutes. Yeah probably not the best method, but for a cheap 10 year old laptop, I didn't have much to lose.

@dantheveganman 13 лет назад

@SlaginnMetal247 pretty much if you anti static yourself, there is nothing to worry about electronics are more resistant to damage than most people think. just do it

@francisz2687 3 года назад

Agradeço muito!! Consegui arrumar meu dv4 com sua ajuda. E valeu pela trilha sonora!!

@ImmortalicBrad 11 лет назад

Thanks! Now my laptop is running smooth again...

@MrArchadeus 13 лет назад

There is someone in my area selling one of these laptops for ONLY 170$! In the post he says it get's really hot, and it has something to do with vga. I do realize I am taking a risk here, cause it may be something much worse. I'm going to buy it and open it up and put some artic silver 5 thermal paste on the heatsinks, and clean the shit out of the vents.

@MrGuillo8 11 лет назад

thank you very much..this video made me open my old dv4 hp.. i did everything as you .. and now its positive. greatvideo man

@OsvaldoEscobar 13 лет назад

@FastVideoTech Yes, the keyboard works well, but now when I press some keys, the keyboard moves down XD. I think the notebook's top doesn't well. But it works very well. Thank you for yor video @FastVideoTech

@njime2010 12 лет назад

hi! i really thank you for uploading this video, i opened my computer completly and without your video i done it because of you! so thanks!

@TheMholsten 12 лет назад

If anyone has any more detailed questions regarding the repair of this unit or other HP brand laptops, send me a PM and I will do my best to help. Please do your research first though, don't plague me with questions that have already been answered or ridiculous questions that have no logical train of thought, though if it is hilariously worded or cryptically crafted, I will award kudos and cookies >^.^

@pavilion130 12 лет назад

thanks I was able to re-assemble my laptop because of watching this

@hamisym 13 лет назад

@FastVideoTech Afraid of not assembling the laptop after open it, I asked an expert for doing this. He did not remove the screen as well. Anyway, thank you for reply :)

@MrArchadeus 13 лет назад

@w4tch4cl4wschannel You ABSOLUTELY NEED that thermal paste (zero thermal) he was talking about! That is vital that the heatsink has the best possible contact with the CPU without it you will experience overheating, among other things. It IS overheating, you don't seem like you know anything about what you are doing. Get some thermal paste and put it on or risk the life of your cpu as it may overheat too much and either go up in smoke, or just stop working.

@TheMholsten 12 лет назад

@thegamegorilla First thing, you are going to have to make a diagnosis of the issue during the unit's attempt to POST. Wait after powering on the unit to see if the board will generate a POST error code. This can be read by watching the CAPSLOCK and NUMLOCK LEDs: The LED's will flash in a cycle, these are the meanings of those blinks (this is the same for all HP laptops) One Blink is No CPU detected Two is a corrupted BIOS Three is Faulty RAM Four is No GPU detected Five is General Board Fail

@karln2003 12 лет назад

If you've done this and it is still overheating, check your fan (listen) to see if its even starting up. I opened mine up just enough to see the fan and verify that it wasnt starting up even when the temp reached 75 degrees. Now, Im just waiting to get a new fan in the mail to replace it. Hopefully its just the fan that is broken and not something iwith the motherboard that is causing the fan not to start up.

@dof103 12 лет назад

Oh actually I remember now it stopped working right when I got it back from being repaired by HP through best buy Geek Squad for a totally unrelated issue. I got it back 7 weeks after I dropped it off (which also happened to put it past my 3 year extended warranty), the hinge on the screen they repaired broke a week later, the speakers an the fan stopped working around the same time. I know every is thinking "why didn't you bring it back to Best Buy" well being a college student it is nearly im

@josuediaz1111 12 лет назад

About to try it out, but first Imma buy the thermal past tomorrow morning.

@Stevethegamer55 12 лет назад

Thank You very much, that was very helpful...

@jkaspera 11 лет назад

Will give you guys an example..... Was getting a bsod and hardware failures.... took my custom built dv8 to microcenter to get bench tested and they wanted to charge me 75 for diag and 460 to replace a few things(usb/audio card, wireless card, cpu fan, and keyboard).... for the 4 hrs it takes to disasseble and reassemble.... its worth the 75 for bench test and 100 in parts..... to do it yourself. Just be warned, be very careful pulling off the heat sink, they thermal paste that HP uses is crap.

@luislara6932 12 лет назад

make sure you connected the lcd flex cable properly

@gennavandella 3 года назад

Oh gosh I was too busy dancing to the music i forgot to watch so IMA watch again. Like like like

@letsgomd 12 лет назад

@shahzad05 1). the thermal pad is a VERY bad design for the video chip (on tail of heatpipe) and most likely it overheated quickly due to a gap. Replace with a new pad or buy a copper shim so as to make good thermal contact. 2). I believe too much thermal past was used on the cpu (should be extremely thin. 3). your video cable may not be flush with its socket. 4). I had video problems for 4 months (had to keep closing lid), fix replace inverter under base of screen (HP logo).

@machinimastartup 11 лет назад

so the deal about thermal paste is that it transfers heat from processor to heat sink so the cpu does not heat up. no thermal paste means the heat is not transferred out and your CPU is overheating and automatically shuts down. in facts thermal paste is one of the most important aspects of your laptop. :) buy and apply some. Consult the manual to know where to apply.(the manual is online just google your model which is at the back of the laptop)

@EbilinforcerDJ 12 лет назад

This is why Hp has lots of bad ratings, They are a GREAT company, but their design planing is very complicated and made to be not opened. I have a Hp DM4, cleaning the Heat sink is a big pain. I'd recommend taking to a computer shop to have it fixed if yours is. :D

@digimaks 8 лет назад

Now can someone tell me how hard is it for HP to make cleaning lids for CPU and GPU, which could make this cumbersome task turn into 2 minute solution!?????

@curemymind 13 лет назад

I've just got this laptop and i've noticed that where the gpu is at the thermal pad and the aluminum that is to the cpu isn't very helpfull for heat dissipation. aluminum isn't ver good for heat, if it was then you would see it on the cpu to. I removed the thermal pad on the gpu and also the thermal paste on the cpu, put a copper shimmy on the gpu to help the aluminum and termal paste on both sides of the copper shimy and the cpu.. I used artic silver 5 and haven't had heat issues.

@abbash14 13 лет назад

thanks for your video it really means to me alot , i hope u make these sort of videos of different laptop machines . Knd Regards

@estrickland89 13 лет назад

I have a blackscreen and blinking LEDs (caps and scroll lock)once every 2 seconds. The fan is on quietly, and the media LEDs are on as well as the Power and AC Plug lights. Yet all I see is a blank screen.

@MalcolmTodd1966 13 лет назад

I totally dig the music! Who is the guitar player (pardon my ignorance)? Great video also, may just save me some money knowing where the problem lies. If not I'll just box it up with a $100 bill and send it to you! LOL

@ammaretto 12 лет назад

totally agree! this is alot of dis-assembly. i have the HP dv6000 & i hate it, nothing but problems. i am just gonna pay a tech to clean the fan.

@westbrooks7 10 лет назад

My fan is still giving me trouble and is now making a loud noise so we are going to replace it with a new one. But after I put my laptop back together the wifi wasn't working anymore. It keeps saying something about the Local Area Connection 6" Adapter, so I think I may have damaged something while I was in it without even realizing it. The wifi light will not come on either, it'll connect to the internet with an Ethernet cable but not wirelessly now. Can you please help me to figure out what the problem is asap?

@1976oswald 10 лет назад

thanks for the video, how often should i clean the fan? and another thing... i like the music that you used to this video, could you please tell me the artists, songs or album .... Thanks bro. you a have a good taste for music too !!!

@kayseeday 12 лет назад

A client of mine has this and she states that it does not boot up. I tried booting it up with her batter and with her power cord, but it is not booting up. She states that she bought it from someone of craig's list for 50 because she has one at home that is not booting up as well. After seeing this video I feel like returning it to her and telling her to invest in a new laptop. This is one of the most tedious laptops I have come across.

@SiFyProductions 12 лет назад

On my computer all the lights on the keyboard turn on, and you can hear the fan quietly running. There are 4 Blinks on the Caps Lock and Number Lock buttons but nothing shows up on the screen. what is wrong, and who can we send it to, to get it fixed, please help SOOON.

@dof103 12 лет назад

Well that's way more complicated than I thought it would be. Probably not the best idea for my first attempt at opening up my laptop. My fan stopped working a while back and now if I run my computer on anything besides power saver and try to play videos or run a lot of programs it shuts down. Any other options besides this or bringing it in for an expensive repair?

@mkch932 11 лет назад

So whats the justification on manually spreading around the thermal paste. That could create tiny air pockets. Try this next time: Apply a small dot of paste to the center of the CPU/GPU. DON'T TOUCH IT WITH YOUR FINGER. Square up the heat sink to the CPU and gently lower it without pushing down. Screw it back into place moving diagonally from screw to screw. This will evenly spread the paste and maximize its spreading. Also this could explain more /watch?v=EyXLu1Ms-q4
