OPEN ME UP! HP Probook 450 G1 and G2 Disassembly 

This was extremely helpful for helping me open up and clean my ancient laptop. Thank you so much for making!

This guide was perfect. I was able to replace my trackpad after following your guide (which was part of the top part that was removed - it wasn't specifically shown in the video but you got me 90% of the way there!) Thanks!

Thank you very much. I wanted to open my laptop to remove and clean RAM. I could do it successfully. Now it's working fine.

Thanks for the instructions. It saved my computer.

Thanks, you really helped me with disassembly of my notebook. I want to replace cpu and with this video it will be a lot more easier.

hi, do you know if the display of the Hp Probook 450 G2 is compatible with the Hp Probook 450 G0? It says 15,6" and 1366x768 and 40 pin but i am not sure. Thx

thanks helped me upgrade my ram "simillar to g0"

Thx man I didn't think this is going to be so easy :).

Firstly, thanks for post this video! I was having overheating issues and opened this up, replaced the thermal paste and used compressed air to blow out the fan blades. The computer works great now and no longer shuts down due to overheating...though weirdly windows and HP Assistant do not recognize the OEM battery anymore. Did I miss a cable during reassembly?

Hey thanks for this video as I use HP Pro Book 450 G1 I5 processor.

Great video! Is there any video how to collect back? Because my screen doesn’t work anymore more😩

Jesus christ galf the screws in mine are corroded, 3-4 of them have their heads 'shaved' as in the part where you are supposed to head is almost completely a round bowl, making it impossible to unscrew them, and my mainboard just died. The touchpad has been dead fpr so long but so far no place has been able to replace it. Welp i'm bring this guy to the chopshop on saturday, with the main priority being changing the mainboard, second priority being replacing all the damn screws (which will probably also fix the issue of me having it turning off random when i'm carrying it around not connected to the wall) and the 3rd priority being replacing the touchpad. Seriously i have been so accustomed to not having a touchpad. Neat mouse and other keypad mouse emulator have almost completely replaced the touchpad functionality on my laptop.

Thanks alot mate, it's been helpful for upgrading g0 f0x24es from pentium 2020m to i7-3632qm. Appreciated :)

Would the thermal paste be a solution to overheating or do you use is just when you disassemble ?

On another video someone showed how to take out the keyboard: he didn't mention the screw holding the keyboard at the bottom and also not that you can move the keyboard towards the mouse and it is easy to take out that way. Your video is great. I just downloaded it. I had a Probook 450 G1 from a friend and the screen was flickering all the time. Funny thing was that windows didn't start up right and I installed Linux instead. The flickering stopped. Now I'm installing Windows 10 on the laptop.. so far everything ok. Except the keyboard... pressing on "e" doesn't show the letter... so maybe only the keyboard has to be replaced. I'm gonna take it out, clean it as far es possible and put it back in. Maybe that's sufficient... Great video!

Thank you man!

Very good video, working with a G2, a Little different but if you use your comment Sense.... Thanks

which is better to buy? hp probook 4500 g3 coming with i5 6th gen dual core 2.3ghz - 2.8ghz 8gb ram 1tb hdd3r screen res. 1360 x 720 2gb gpu R7 M340 or dell inspiron 5559 coming with i5 6th gen dual core 2.3ghz - 2.8ghz 16gb ram 500gb hdd3r screen res. 1920 x 1080 2gb gpu R5 M335 they have about the same prize, purpose for Photo editing (photoshop) and of course movie marathon!

Is the security screw holding the maintenance hatch in place the same size as the other easily visible screws? Did you require a separate, special type of screw head?

I have one question for you? Is available to upgrade with graphic card with core i5 ?

Nice tutorial

thanks for vid I have HP probook 450 g2, and the transistor labeled Q30 is blown. So I want you to help me with a reference photo showing transistor Q30 so that I can see the transistor number so that I can replace it

I know it's an old video but do you have an idea if the keyboard can be swapped for a backlit one? I ask because I couldn't see any connector to connect the backlit cable.

+open me up The HP ProBook 450 G3 i7, is the CPU soldered in?

will this be the same for the 440 g1 model because the hard drive which you said had four screws looks similar to mine which had four phillips screws and seemed to be in the same location also where would you recomend buying a replacement hard drive with windows 8 on it

Thanks for the video :)

Hi I have purchased the Hp450 G2 Intel Core i5-52000U 4GB DDR3 1600MHz , and an extra 4gig ram module, would the ram installation be the same as the G1? thank you in advance for your help :)

wait a minute, the hp probook 450 g1 has 2 ram slots. why do you install just one? for future upgrades? as far as i can tell, the ram isn't the only bottleneck on this thing. there's also the cpu. but i have to give it to the designers that the gpu on this thing is OP for it's line and series. overclock the gpu on this thing and i managed to play gta 5 and black ops 2 on high settings. yeah, high settings. the only drawback is that the metal bars that covers the fan (for decorative purposes and to prevent someone poking their fingers in) broke off due to the extreme heat. (the gpu is over 100 degrees c when overclocked)

All I need to do is change the keyboard, I notice there are 2 screws labeled with the keyboard, I removed them but the keyboard wont budge. Do I need to remove all the screws just to get the keyboard out?

I have a question , I have this model but with only 4 GB ram for some reason . Can I use the slot over that slot you the RAM out of to add extra RAM ?

Why did you remove cables from the wireless card?

Hi i really need your help please. my buttons are broken .. i mean they are moving both of them but the contacts inside are broken and i cant take off my battery .. when i use both of them the cover is removing

Thanks!

Hello, I tore my laptop down to replace the monitor cable, as it pinched itself off. Since I replaced it, my Comouter doesn't seem to actually start. I'm quite familiar with laptop teardown, so I'm actually kind of baffled as to what the issue might be. Any ideas? Thanks!
