HP 250/255 G7 - Fan and Heatsink Cooler Replacement and Cleaning Guide - 6BN96EA

Guide to cleaning or replacing the Fan and Heatsink cooler in the HP 250/255 G7 laptop.
This is a fairly easy task to complete, requiring just a small Philips head screwdriver and plastic pry tool.

Thanks for the helpful video. I replaced a grinding, groaning fan with a new one following your directions. It was very easy to follow your video instruction. My computer is now working very quietly. Thanks. Pete

[@Exodus199999]

[@Captain_Rhodes]

[@valkyrie7508]

You can do it!

[@milesmorrish5270]

Before I take apart my PC, do I need to use an electrostatic wrist strap or mat? Thanks

[@thore1911]

Hello! Is it possible to use liquid metal or paste only? Thank you.

Me neither!

[@andywalker4485]

Thank you. This solved my fan problem. Can you please tell me how you replace the cover that has the keyboard and mouse part on it. I broke mine a while ago and can't find a video showing how to replace it. Many thanks.

[@BrueComputing]

Glad it helped. Don't have the system anymore so couldn't show that unfortunately, but the service manual explains how to do it: h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06208783.pdf

Can you replace the CPU on this laptop?

[@GCP81]

great video. hp 255 g7 with amd ryzen5 2500u suport nvme ?

[@rauldon273]

Hi there! is the M.2 slot compatible for both M.2 SATA & M.2 PCIe?

[@BrueComputing]

I believe so

[@giacomo1892]

is it possible to upgrade the cpu with a ryzen 5? does the motherboard support that? I cannot find this information anywhere

[@BrueComputing]

No, almost any modern laptop (barring some high-end gaming or workstation systems which use desktop processors) will have a soldered processor, which is non-replaceable.

[@giacomo1892]

@@BrueComputing ok, thank's a lot for the quick answer as well ;)

[@TRETLVs]

Does all these laptops " HP 250 G7 " have two ram slots and one pcie m.2. slot?

[@BrueComputing]

I haven't taken apart a 250 G7, but the service manual suggests it does.

[@MrTimjm009]

no they don't . It depends on the spec build . the 255 g7 I have has no m.2 slot but has the hdd option installed . HP don't do both just either or unless it says on the spec. Also the optical drive is an option wich isn't shown here but I have one .Mine also has 1 slot for memory and I can go from 4 to 8 gb but no more ( unless there is a spec build that can ) Shame they don't but then they wouldn't make money if they provided a customer with a laptop which was fully upgradable . It makes more money to offer several spec options which are give and take based but with some room to make small upgrades

[@GiorgosNSR]

did you by any chance end up changing the cooling fan because it suddenly started making alot of noise? because thats what happened to my 255 g7 all of a sudden and im inclined to believe i need to change the fan as well, you can now hear it even in low rpm, whereas before it was completely silent!

[@BrueComputing]

I was doing this on a brand new laptop I had purchased specifically to make these videos, so the machine had no issues. It is possible for a fan to suddenly become loud if a bearing is going, it has been damaged (eg. lost a blade) due to an impact, or plastic or other debris has got loose inside the laptop and is making contact with the fan blades as they spin.

[@GiorgosNSR]

@@BrueComputing i see, thanks for the reply. just wanted to know, because mine is just 4 months old, and already started lots of noise all of a sudden although it was completely silent so far. guess im up for a visit to the dealers.. :)

[@alejoocano6150]

Is it necessary to remove the battery before doing the whole procedure?

[@Celice]

Not from what I know. I used this video before to clean my laptop and am coming back to it now to redo it after a few months. I didn't remove the battery and was able to clean it enough for it to make a pretty big difference

[@wrench_in]

Bro I have no cooling fan onninside 🥵🥵😨😨

[@Nought_8]

pls do one for hp 255g8 and explain the type of screw it is and the right screwdriver to use

[@cezro8641]

Thank you God honour you with Islam
