DESCRIPTION
Welcome to HowFixit! In this video, I'll take you through a step-by-step guide on how to disassemble Dell G15 5510 laptop, clean its fans, and replace the thermal paste. Our comprehensive tutorial will equip you with the knowledge of fixing laptop overheating issues. From disassembling your laptop to cleaning the fan and heatsink from dust and applying thermal paste, we've got you covered. Say goodbye to overheating and hello to improved performance!
* Laptop Disassembly Guide:
Disassembling your laptop may seem daunting, but I'll break it down into easy-to-follow steps. You'll learn how to remove the laptop's casing, locate and clean the heatsink and fans, and access to CPU for thermal paste replacement. By following this guide, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your laptop's internals and how to keep it running smoothly.
* Fan Cleaning Techniques:
Dust and debris can accumulate in your laptop's fans and heatsink over time, leading to reduced airflow and increased temperatures. I'll show you effective methods to clean your laptop using an antistatic brush and proper handling techniques. By keeping your cooling system clean, you'll prevent overheating and extend the lifespan of your laptop.
* Thermal Paste Replacement:
Thermal paste plays a crucial role in transferring heat from the laptop's CPU and GPU to the heatsink. However, over time, a thermal paste can dry out and lose its effectiveness. I'll guide you through the process of removing the old thermal paste and applying a fresh, high-quality one. This step is vital for optimal heat dissipation and temperature management. Don't let an overheating laptop slow you down! Watch this comprehensive guide and take control of your laptop's temperature. By performing regular fan cleaning and thermal paste replacement, you'll ensure smooth operation, prevent hardware damage, and extend the life of your laptop. Hit the play button now and let's get started!

This laptop is really affordable, but having to remove the motherboard, just to clean the fans or replace the thermal paste is giving me second thoughts. Dell definitely engineered this hoping the users will never clean the fans and thus will have to buy a new one when theirs inevitably starts overheating

[@ganr1277]

My G15 5510 is 2 years old, it keeps working as the first day except for overheating. I can open it, but it takes a lot of time

[@StuffINBlender]

Thanks for this, idle temps have fallen from around 55°C to about 40°C! (It is currently 35°C and I don't have AC!!) I layed everything out neatly, but still had a screw left! But It's working fine!!

[@terrancegiusto9518]

ugh what a process i have this same laptop from dell im dreading having to do this now

[@ganr1277]

I love dissasembly things, but this is too much for my taste

[@kluangh1tam]

One of the nice features that Dell G15 model have is a self pop-up cover when you unscrew it. This will help the cover side prying much easier and less damaging.

[@513nd3rman]

Shit u know what i was told the same but that back cover thing was stuck like a mf after unscrewing those screws couple times was still stuck asf

[@kluangh1tam]

@@513nd3rman Factory defect? How many have you opened?

[@513nd3rman]

@kluangh1tam ya it could be bc i only opened mine it was stuck pretty bad in there also i thought maybe bc it was the first time but when i reopened it again i had to deal with the same issue again as if those screws r not doing anything at all

[@513nd3rman]

@kluangh1tam and the screws r working fine but it's something abt the sides idk

[@shadiblasi749]

Thanks a lot for this great detailed video. I was intimidated to try it out the first time, then I watched the video again and started started doing the same, minus applying the thermal paste. Thank you again.

[@Gandhi_Physique]

Thanks! Mine had more pieces, but this helped me figure out how to get the fan out so I could fix it!

[@user-wu2hu3us6x]

Of course those bastards at dell put the heatsink on top... Well this is going to come with a lot more potential for damage and failure now.

[@pempom14]

No ví comentarios en español, así que dejaré el mío. Me funcionó bien, seguí el procedimiento conforme ví el vídeo y todo muy bien

[@alejandroalvarado3328]

Gracias bro, buscaba comentarios en español jajaja

[@KazrBrekker]

Mine is 5520, is it the same process? My laptop works fine expect when playing AAA games. It lags. I feel like it needs an internal cleaning and probably upgrade the RAM from 16 to 32

[@rion9236]

thank you for the guide. I was wondering, my unit has a loose anchor screw on the back cover. Is it possible to replace it or do I have to buy entire back cover?

[@radekszewczyk4467]

Good morning. Can you tell me what thickness are the thermopads used in this model?

[@dmcml4301]

Ty pro nice video ❤❤ But when i finished some kays from kaybord didn’t work can u tell me why 😢

[@BigBanana104]

Can someone help i cant remove a nail from my laptop it stuck and im scared if i break it

[@taivovan4606]

So good

[@IsaacRM92]

no before and after results of benchmarks to compare? what is the baseline so you know your thermal applications was indeed successful in reducing temps?

[@hoangminhx007]

lol. he just make the video about how to disassembly not benchmarks

[@IsaacRM92]

@@hoangminhx007 yeah i know, i was hoping for some benchmarks for confirmation purposes but this is still nice, definitely will be using this video when replacing thermal paste on my g15 , it's already due for late this month

[@100uschallenge3]

Dell thermal paste is good quality its thick and doesn't dry up quickly

[@axeltestori]

My poor Dell CPU cores are at 96°C now...😢

[@deepakjain4481]

please help me i damaged the air filter strip of the upper lid how much will it cost me to repair it , is it a part of assembly of the upper lid because some are saying that you have to replace whole upper lid and that will cost me too much

[@rivvy2138]

You mean where the screen is?

[@menanagy7617]

Thanks a lot! If you don't mind, I've got a question. I own a Dell G15 5520 laptop with 512GB storage, 16GB RAM, RTX 3060, and a 12th gen Core i7. I'm thinking about upgrading the RAM to 64GB. Is that possible, and if so, will it perform well? I'm eyeing Crucial RAM options: Crucial RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 4800MT/s CL40 Laptop Memory CT2K32G48C40S5 Crucial RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 5600MT/s Laptop Memory CT2K32G56C46S5 Which one do you think would be a better fit? Appreciate your response in advance.

[@Oktheorignal]

Check your manufacturer support page for the allowed memory configurations. I do not think you can go above 32Gb in total. 2x 16Gb DDR5 Secondly also check what maximum bus speed your memory can support!

[@waldemir5621]

remove the dust and it was like falling on the rest of the motherboard?

[@howfixit]

This is a demo, you have to remove dust away from the motherboard, it's obvious!

[@crazyxpgamerz1648]

I have bought this in 80k from amazon

[@Axel-lp7qw]

Putting the plastic back was a nightmare as it never fit properly I guess it's a manufacture problem

[@pubglover9870]

Brother where is bios cell in this laptop

[@zealana2462]

can i follow this for g15 5520?

[@Bigma_Lalls]

All the g15s have the same model brother u can follow whether it's 5515 or 5510 or 5520

[@zealmain9493]

can this be followed fr 5520?

[@rivvy2138]

Yes same exact process's

[@abdallahelkashef3221]

I was reconnecting the battery to the motherboard then suddenly a spark appeared and now the labtop can't detect the charger Can somebody tell me what happened? 😢

[@asdfsdfsadfasdfsf]

you shorted your motherboard. the IC charger seems to be broken. thats why this need to be done by someone know how.

[@nfsg214]

​@@asdfsdfsadfasdfsfwhy does that happen and how to prevent it?

[@subham26]

It's an expensive machine dude

[@kingpinohsainspector225]
