Best video for a disassembly of a dv7. And no annoying music. Thanks.

[@jameshebner50]

Fantastic easy to follow, got old laptop partially dismantled,. Can't wait to follow the fan dismantle and renew heatsink paste. Keep up the good information packed videos. As a retired flight simulator engineer, I have repaired and built from scratch PC's. This is my first laptop. Thanks again. I shall upgrade .the processor and add an SSD. and use as a second laptop. I also have another i7 HP dV7 laptop. Thanks again for a great video.

I disassembled this HP dv7 six times and added thermal paste under the processor, graphics and all actively cooled components. And only after six such operations the laptop started working properly. I threw away all the thermal pads and replaced them with silver thermal paste. And I'm finally at peace with it, the laptop works like new, the repair cost is negligible, but there's a lot of work. Sześć razy rozbierałem tego HP dv7 i dokładałem pasty termoprzewodzącej pod procesor, grafikę i wszystkie elementy chłodzone aktywnie. I dopiero po sześciu takich operacjach laptop zaczął pracować jak trzeba. Wyrzuciłem wszystkie termopady i zastąpiłem je pastą termoprzewodzącą ze srebrem. I wreszcie mam z tym spokój, laptop działa jak nowy, koszt naprawy znikomy, ale pracy dużo.

Thank you for this tutorial, I had this laptop since my childhood, and this video is the reason it still holds up! Thank you, kind stranger! Thank you.

[@davearnold731]

Thank you for this wonderful video. OMG HP SUCKS. I had to change out my cooling fan and what a nightmare. Thank God with your help I was able to get it done. FYI folks, take LOTS of photos along the way and mark the different sized screws accordingly.

[@TheSRBgamer63]

Only HP ones are this complicated to clean ?.I am writing this from Pavilion g7,if this is required only to clean fan,it's crazy,this is literally full laptop disassembly.

[@ЕленаОвчинникова-щ5с]

А как кабель называется ?

[@ElDepressivo]

This Video saved my sanity! Thank you for your excellent work! You did a damn good job!

[@prime6529]

Yes very helpful, especially as this tear-down was the right one for the particular dv7 I had to disassemble (there are lots). The bit where the keyboard just pops out is a joke though - don't be surprised if you have to use a LOT of effort to get it to come away. I'm hoping it still works after re-assembly.

[@jimbagheed483]

Thanks for a great video. I found the most challenging thing was to reassemble the laptop. The keyboard was ribbon was very tight to put back and took me 3 or 4 attempts.

[@TQ255]

Thanks for the video, it's extremely hard to simply replace the fan.

[@kamado_26]

Thank you so much, I was able to replace my thermal paste thanks to your video !

[@HristianMarkov]

You can also take out the actual plastic fan. You need to push it out and you can clean around the rotation piece as well.

[@techstormster]

Wow, you're right. Good thing the replacement was cheap enough I'm not going to kick my self over that one.

[@reneborrmann8363]

Danke vielmals! Alleine hätte ich es niemals geschafft!

Un grand merci. Cela m'a vraiment aidé pour bidouiller mon vieux portable.

[@techstormster]

This helped and then kept on helping. What a pain in the ass this one was to replace a fan.

[@saissszg]

Thank you very match.I do it by your video.Some screws not shown, but its not a problem.

[@MIKHAEL140]

Thank you, very helpful video!

Thank you, will use that vid in near future

Thanks! This was helpful-

[@joseantoniobellidoloayza5810]

thanks for the help, this video was very usefull and i could make a full clean of my laptop.

[@lucaspupulin5170]

its possible to change the ram memory?

[@cominder64]

Would it be possible to upgrade the cpu?

[@Zippy115]

Superb video. Can i remove & clean the fan without removing the heat sink from the CPU / graphics chip?

[@davearnold731]

Yes, but it is not easy. I was able to replace my fan without removing the CPU. Maybe you can just clean it with old toothbrush and canned air without pulling the fan off.

[@whooops6147]

Can I upgrade my HP Pavilion dv7 keyboard with a backlit keyboard?

[@anythinggoestv1274]

Hi, i have a problem with this laptop. The browser keeps on opening even if windows os was newly installed. Even if i change default browser it still happen.

[@marcobachmann3092]

Herzlichen Dank 😊

[@focus1101]

Meine Frage ist diese: Ist meine Lüfter oder mein Motherboard defekt, wenn der Lüfter nicht mehr läuft?

[@sergiolioneliglesias7524]

Muy bueno, ahora entiendo porque calienta tanto mi HP , creo que es el problema de esta marca, tendria que ser mas facil reponer la pasta termica.

[@rags5inc]

Thanks for the video, it is the best video among the others and what i was looking for. Have one question.. I dont have a thermal paste that you applied on video card.. Will it work without that??

[@TJDASHDASH]

On the whole great, but some steps are missing. For example the screws golding the motherboard to the chasis was not there. Also the power cord connected to the motherboard was alreadly disconnected.

[@jeffusion3826]

is posible upgrude of cpu for example to a i3 o i5 ??

[@Coastercapitalusa]

Nope

[@Unoxfan2000]

My laptop overheats frequently is this the way to stop the overheating?

[@spotify952]

Only way to stop overheating is clean fan and replace thermal gel... not an easy task with the DV's.

[@Unoxfan2000]

@@spotify952 ye the laptop broke now i got a other one with an i5 same model tho 4gb of ram insteas of 8 and its way slower i dont use the laptop anymore but i got a pc now with a 1st gen i7 reaching 100celsius turns out the thermal paste was expired-bad i put new one on managed to scrape 10-15 celsius of it im planning to go to a i5 6500.

[@CostantinoLenzi]

pazzesco tutto sto lavoro. ho un dv7 che ha solo 4 giga ram, vorrei aumentare la ram perche e lentissimo cosa mi consigli come ram? passare a 8 o a 16 giga a senso o basta 8? ci gioco poco ma piu che altro apro tante pagine internet, ho letto ci sono ddr2 o 3 o4 che differeza fa? grazie

[@SagaraS132]

I have a problem. When I close the lid, the laptop no longer reacts of this. I have installed a new fan and held me for this guide here. Before, everything was still running. In the BIOS I have already searched but no setting found for it. Monitor cable and the white connection beside I have connected to the mainboard as before synonymous. Have I forgotten something? Please help.

[@WeaponsGG]

Change a setting in Windows Power Options called "Choose what closing the lid does"

Hola sabrás si hay alguna actualizacion de BIOS para ese modelo del laptop HP con CPU AMD? En la web de HP me indica que ese equipo ya no tiene, soporte tecnico Tengo una de un cliente que está como nueva, lo cula me sorprendió, 👀 le realice servicio reemplazando la unidad de HDD por un SSD y logré instalar Windows 10, funciona más rápido, solo me lanza un mensaje de Microsoft visual cc+ o algo parecido cada vez que inició el SO, la version de Bios actual es la F.08, he buscado algunas de otros quipos de la misma serie y no son compatibles. Traducción al inglés. USA. Hello, do you know if there is any BIOS update for that HP laptop model with AMD CPU? On the HP website it tells me that this equipment no longer has, technical support I have one from a client that is like new, it surprised me, 👀 I serviced it by replacing the HDD unit with an SSD and I managed to install Windows 10, it works faster, it just gives me a Microsoft visual cc+ message or something similar every Once the OS started, the current Bios version is F.08, I have searched for some other equipment of the same series and they are not compatible.

[@shaquedelilicss7849]

what's the white tube you're using? this for the video

[@howfixit]

this is thermal paste, for example you can use Arctic Cool MX-4 or Zalman ZM-STG2

[@xRyudo300]

7:20 worst part. I always hate these things. Something always breaks off where the video does it super smoothly somehow.

[@interagencia]

Muito bom o seu video!!

[@erwinoliva7649]

Gracias, me sirvió

[@MommaBearsCorner]

nope. ended yp breaking a connection. something else at top center would not allow top to come off!

[@chriss8694]

Does anyone have the part number for the fan?

This one works, too: SUNON MagLev MF60120V1-C180-S9A DC 5 V, 2 W :)

where can i buy this cable for second hd?

[@Vancha112]

I bought one of deal extreme I think. Back when I was actually looking for it, about five years ago, buying one from hp, i costed... 60 euro's! :D It was 60 euro's for a sata cable to insert a second hard drive. So yes, I recommend the cheap 4 euro cable from china :p

This is not dv7!

[@howfixit]

why do you think so?..

[@mariangratka4506]

because I have dv7 and I know!

[@howfixit]

but the thing is that this is dv7, HP Pavilion dv7-6c Series. Maybe you have another dv7, there's a lot of different models

[@SagaraS132]

I have exactly this dv7 Series from HP. Totally crazy to open this device. And only for the pc fan. My next PC will be a desktop PC. Because this sort of laptops are too stupid assembled together. And thanks for this video. This has helped me.

@ Max Gratyfikator that is a dv7 in video sense i have the same one but a amd version :)
