Good job! My keyboard stopped working. Cleaned keyboard cable, still dead. Driver?

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

check the device manager to see if for some reason the driver has been removed. Also plug a usb keyboard and see if that works, if it does then most likely you need to replace the keyboard. all the best.

[@TorsteinLajord]

@@simpletechsolutions6827 usb keyboard working all the time. Problem was dead laptop touchpad and laptop keyboard. Adviced to uninstall mouse Synaptics SMBus Clicpad-driver. YES!! It worked, laptop automatically installed new driver. Spent approx. 6 hours on this, solution took 6 seconds! Have a nice day.

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

That's great to hear you have fixed your problem.

[@Monkey_gambling]

Thanks for this Video is my opinion right that the CPU is on the back from the motherboard and is it right that i must get the same way as shown to change the Thermal compound under the CPU?

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

yes unfortunately you have to do same thing as what you see in the video. all the best.

[@cheicknamariko612]

Merci beaucoup pour le guide mais je pense que pour un début, laisser le câble pour le ventilateur serait mieux avant d'enlever le plastique et ainsi après avoir enlevé, le déconnecter et cela diminuerait le risque de blocage susceptible d'impacter la carte mère !

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

100%. great suggestion. thank you

[@kpos_fresh9379]

With regards to the orange ribbon from the keyboard Is it for the backlight? Or what because mine doesnt have it and I panicked a bit when i didnt see it

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

how many ribbons are running from your keyboard to the motherboard, if its 2 then its fine as colors does not matter, as long as you have 2 ribbons

[@kpos_fresh9379]

@@simpletechsolutions6827 Only one ribbon

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

that's strange if it is the same model, then it should have two, maybe someone who opened your laptop forgot to put it back. Those 2 ribbon, one is for the actual keyboard and the other is for the backlight, so if your backlight ribbon is missing, it does not have much impact on the functionality of the keyboard.

[@kpos_fresh9379]

@@simpletechsolutions6827 ya but Mine doesnt even have backlight at all so i believe thats why

[@TorsteinLajord]

What type of screws are on service door???

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

its a Phillips screw. remember when you loosen the screw it does not come out of the service door, it stays with the service door, as you can see it on the video

[@wait4alamin]

Is there room for SSD? Which SSD would be better?

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

yes you can install a M.2 SSD or 2.5" SSD Drive, i like the m.2 SSD.

[@Ac3Hub]

Can you apply thermal paste on that cpu and gpu? and how.

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

yes you should be able to apply the thermal paste. check this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/an7KfJx-o7tgjbc at 4 minute, i have showing how to apply the paste onto the gpu and the cpu. all the best

hello I have a probook 455 g4 and having small issues with the charging part, can you help ?

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

what is the problem?

[@yangyangucv]

@@simpletechsolutions6827 when i have plugged in the charger to my hp, no matter how long time i have the charger plugged in to the laptop, it only reaches to a 78%charge, and in the right bottom corner of the laptop screen appears the battery icon saying that it is plugged in with78% charge, but, it doesnt reach to a 100% charge, i already ran the hp system check and it says everything ok, dont know what to do

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

@@yangyangucv try go to bios and see if you can find 'battery health manager' option. Most of the time its in the 'advance setting->power management' option. once you find it click on it and set its value to "maximize my battery duration"

Guys I have no experience in this, so I wanna know if this device supports upgrading the screen card & an SSD M.2 & RAM up to !?? If anyone knows please help 😢

[@yohanperera21]

hello, i have the same laptop. i want to upgrade my graphic card. which one is compatible with this laptop? thanks

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

hi, so sorry can't help you with this one, you need to check your motherboard manufacturer and check the model number to see which graphic cards are compatible with that motherboard.

[@pajotero4219]

Hi. I have a 450 G4 and now when I plug the charger in it will not charge. Sometimes I get a small flashing white light next to the port that lasts for maybe 8 flashes then goes dead. Any ideas? Thanks.

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

quick question, does your laptop stays on when the charger is plugged in without removing it?

[@pajotero4219]

@@simpletechsolutions6827 Thanks for the reply. Yes. Currently have 25% battery and icon does not change when charger inserted. Charger output checked and is good.

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

This happens to most laptop, try to completely draining the battery and then remove the battery (make sure to follow the safety guide). wait for 5-10 minutes, then replace the battery and power up the laptop. see how you go. also check this link as well. h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebooks-Archive-Read-Only/Charging-light-blinking-8-times-and-not-charging-in-HP/td-p/3834624

[@pajotero4219]

@@simpletechsolutions6827 Battery is non removeable. Does this mean I'll have to teardown the whole thing? Also noticed the charger when plugged into the laptop does not "click in" like most do. It's like the little indented groove by the tip isn't engaging with the socket correctly.

[@simpletechsolutions6827]

yes if want to remove the battery, you have to teardown, just watch my other video on how to replace the battery, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHmoYYGhZ7ykeqs. if you say that you charger is not click in, mostly likely your charger or the DC jack where you connect the charger is broken.
