DESCRIPTION
Welcome to HowFixit! In this video, I'll take you through a step-by-step guide on how to disassemble HP EliteBook 8440p 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!

sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me

[@saulcayson1791]

@Rhys Kyler Instablaster :)

[@rhyskyler3777]

@Saul Cayson Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@rhyskyler3777]

@Saul Cayson It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

[@delboy9617]

Just followed this to clean my fan etc (first time since I got it 4 years ago, fan was caked in dust). Really good video, thanks for the help

[@user-sn8tk2zh2k]

[@talharahman5965]

[@noanswerrs]

Thanks for the walkthrough, it was easier than all alone!

[@jonathanukavwe8730]

Thanks a bunch. This vid was really helpful. I was playing on mobile following your directions step by step. Nice work 👍

[@dragonballthings688]

I played on laptop and it shut in the middle. And now I'm stucked

[@AgentDenton2000]

Велике вам пошана і низький поклон!!!

[@RandaraC]

Tengo el modelo indicado. Para desmontar las luces se requiere sacar 2 tornillos que están detrás. Revisar si es necesario sacar los 3 tornillos que están debajo de la batería. El ventilador no esta atornillado a la rejilla de enfriamiento. Después de la limpieza y antes de colocar teclado verificar que el ventilador enciende. Si no, revisar la conexión del ventilador.

[@cyberdemon9306]

thank you so very much!!!! the best guide for this computer!!

[@sguluci]

Need to check for CPU or GPU conformity. If thermal paste is really really old could it be possible BIOS won't start at all? I can not understand what parts has to be changed

[@gilbertferro2013]

Great video. Thanks for posting

[@TheOven1967]

Добрый день. Скажите у него , что один слот для оперативной памяти под клавиатурой , а второй с низу. Если да , то чтобы снять клавиатуру нужно что нибудь откручивать или достаточно поддеть ? Заранее спасибо.

[@stepankalus2503]

Thanks, really useful information and tutorial 😊

[@n0tec5]

[@jeroenhogema9702]

[@aymane9489]

[@AlonsoSalasM]

Thank u.. my old laptop is working one more time!

[@sguluci]

Alonso with new thermal paste you solved your problem? My laptop wont start even the BIOS and not sure if new thermal paste would solve. Thank you

[@rymander111]

For those of you thinking this isn't worth it or its a bad tutorial think again because the HP EliteBook 8440p has some serious design issues the heat doesn't disperse that well and it's easy for the system to get heat up again very quickly and the fan and the heat sink are really on the edge there like woah careful there bud since they put them in a very tight area it's quite hard for it to not get clogged up so you would have to repeat this process over the span of how long you own this laptop and HP has had many design issues before this ain't the first one my friend but they really screwed this one up bad just stop complaining and do this process over and over again or just get a better laptop or get a PC then again a small tip don't buy HP it's just not worth it

[@rymander111]

@-Dublin- Ah finally a human with atleast more than 2 braincells I have been waiting for this moment for four- no five thousand years

[@dragonballthings688]

Im using the model from over 10 yrs and last time I cleaned was 3yrs ago

[@hashimkhan6410]

Thanks alot,,keep it up bro,,

[@airplanevibes9475]

Is it fine if I dont wipe the thermal paste and replace it with the fresh one? As thermal paste is very difficult to find here.

[@dragonballthings688]

But never use tooth paste as thermal paste

[@dragonballthings688]

And it's not fine if it is all dried up like papad. If it seems wet, it's okay to not to replace it

[@TheMusikfan007]

Es gibt einen kleinen Trick. Die Tastatur anheben und mit Druckluft durch die Kühlrippen von Hinten sauber pusten. Voila, und der Laptop wird nicht mehr heiß.

[@rishal66]

Great job.....What is that paste you are using.....please reply fast....am in the middle of this work.....

First thing, stop the thing sliding around and scratching the lid which is face down on the table. Just put 2 mouse mats under it Why do the cleaning over the open laptop, despite there a tissue there, and have grot and bits flying in The keyboard connector was not replaced squarely

[@m--ho479]

can I keep the thermal paste there? just clean the fan is enough?

[@arhamsaa]

yes

[@dragonballthings688]

Unless your thermal paste visibly appears to be dry hard and non usable

[@nicolasvillafan]

I did this and still show no bios ... both lock ligth flashing

[@matajira3767]

[@oce884]

@@sneakypotato3831 oh haha thanks for the reply but i ended up finding them when i looked under the bar i saw screws so just looked under the laptop where the screws had to be and there were those rubber things so i took them out and found the screws :D but thanks nonetheless

Umh, I broke one of the white pieces, I fucked up the keyboard?

[@mo-jj8im]

can i use a toothpaste instead of thermal grease?

[@howfixit]

:D

[@MarcosJ-mq4lk]

mo Use KY like you usually do!

[@dragonballthings688]

Fuck no. Only when you can use thermal paste as toothpaste?

[@medboussaidi8065]

thanx a looooot

[@sneakypotato3831]

Hello fellow HP Elitebook 8440p User heres some tips if you have to do this again ( witch you very much will ) first be very gentle with the thing that comes off of the cpu and make sure nothing gets on the thermal paste ( the stuff on the CPU ) and replace it if you can second tip is if your still using an Intel i5 for the CPU you can upgrade to a intel i7 620m ( make sure if you buy it theres no metal plate on the top covering the components since the one with the plate is meant for desktop PCs not for laptop PCs )

[@dragonballthings688]

[@killertruth186]

Those "Void" tape is useless. Since you can open the laptop without them.

[@Dashkatt]

Jack up the lid and run another laptop under it.

[@Idahomie]

Reviewing another vid I think there is a way to avoid taking out the heat- sink. to avoid having to replace the heat paste, which i dont have here in 'the bush'. Comments?

[@patm61]

Well, they do deliver sheet to the bush. Get a brain before ya do sheet.

[@mustafaunited1387]

If your way do damage in laptop why you share it and you know good there people want to learn

Hi guys, check this detailed guide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH_Nmmmumr-SbMk

I suggest dropping off your laptop at a reputable PC repair facility. There... I just saved you a lot of time, money and a laptop. Who is this guy? Rain man's brother??
