DESCRIPTION
Welcome to HowFixit! In this video, I'll take you through a step-by-step guide on how to disassemble HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop models ec0751ms, ec0013dx, dk0046nr, ak007tx, dk0043tx, cx0056wm, dk0068wm, dk0042tx, ec0022ax, ec0001ax, ec0002ax, ec0026ax, ec0037ax, 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!

I was always afraid to open my laptop(i bought it about 2 years ago) , i just cleaned the fans and i got a mindblowing 25-30C difference in temperature THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@LushAvailability]

This helped so much, apart from me taking about 2 hours trying to get out a stripped screw 😂, it was easy to follow, thank you !!!

Thank you so much!!!!! I was so scared doing itttt. Used to run a stress test at 80c now it runs at 68c. I'm so glad I didn't break it

do you have any information as to the thickness of the thermal pads used here?? i have the same basic hp 15 cx0000 and cant find the info on what thickness thermal pads i need when i replace the paste...

Buen día, excelente video, disculpa una pregunta “estas tarjetas madre ya no traen la pila que alimenta la bios.? Ya que no la veo’ saludos

[@DiRaccoon]

Si no me equivoco antiguamente la pila era para evitar el reset de la bios al desenchufarlo. Pero si te fijas en este modelo de notebook la batería va por dentro siendo imposible sacarla. Me imagino que por esto mismo no trae pila de bios sino que usa la propia batería. Ya que cuando se la quité a mi notebook si tuve el mensajeo del reseteo de la configuración de la bios.

[@frankmoreno6526]

The stand at the bottom of the laptop what and where can I buy those green ones ???????

[@TomBuijs]

Can anyone help me find a spare part? Im looking for the connector that connects the "screen cable" onto the motherboard. He is wiggling the cable at 1:50. I need the connector which holds it on the motherboard. Only clue I have is that it is a 40-pin connector with '1815' on it.

When putting back the screw does have to be in it's original place?

yes

[@michele1547]

If I want to change the gpu, I have to change all the motherboard? Or it's most complicated?

[@itzedric]

You can’t change the gpu on a laptop, However if you have the right port like thunderbolt 3 or similar you could be able to connect an external gpu

[@keikurono023]

E' possibile anche sostituire anche il processore oltre a parti come RAM, SSD, Disco ecc? Grazie mille!

[@qwerty12773]

Dipende, devi vedere quali parti sono saldate alla scheda madre e quali no. Solitamente RAM e SSD si possono tranquillamente cambiare/aggiungere, mentre la CPU essendo saldata alla scheda madre no (o meglio, con attrezzature professionali si potrebbe anche fare, ma ovviamente non è alla portata di tutti)

[@keikurono023]

@@qwerty12773 immaginavo! Sì mi interessava la cpu perché il resto ho già aggiornato nel tempo! Invece posso chiederti se sai se c’è e dove si trova la batteria CMOS? Grazie mille

[@danielramirez3524]

Is the graphics card integrated into the motherboard? I don't know much about computers

[@willfulsteam9172]

in laptops yes, its the green chip on the right when applying the thermal paste. If you have dedicated graphics on a desktop it will not be integrated but if you have intel uhd graphics (integrated graphics that come with most processors) it will be integrated directly inside the processor

[@sishdz838]

Is GPU AND CPU inbuilt or we can upgrade them kindly reply

[@prajalrana5499]

The CPU and GPU are soldered (inbuilt) on the motherboard, you cannot upgrade it,

[@dawidgoral6894]

Hello, I need help. I have pavilion gaming 15-cx0073nw and I want to add ssd disk(i have only 250 gb m2). So when I open my laptop I was dissapointed because there are no conector tape - sata conector, like in this video. So i asking You, maybe you could help me find like this to buy. For more infornation, I bought laptop 1 year ago, without disk. I can do this by myself because in service it will be cost a lot of money. Thanks for answers

yes.. they sell the connector but mine came with one even tho that was empty? maybe just upgrade ur nvme

Which milimeter thermal pad should I use to replace? 0.5 / 1.0 or 1.5 mm?

[@starmember132]

I need to know that too. Did u figure it out?

[@stalypodwiek9556]

[@starmember132]

@@stalypodwiek9556 And how’s it going? My model is dk 1027la with i7-10750H. You think 0.5mm would be good?

[@stalypodwiek9556]

@@starmember132 yep, 0.5 mm will be good for most laptop (w/o alienware 17-19"), 1.0 for most common PC and 1.5mm for RTX3080/RTX3090/6900XT for one side

[@Denis-hi2ov]

​@@stalypodwiek9556 The only way to figure out, is to measure old thermal pads with digital caliper. Keep in mind, that the thermal pads can have non standard thickness such as 1,3 mm or 0,7 mm. Also it is important to use thermal pads with exact softness (SHORE) just like factory thermal pads. If you will use hard thermal pads, the cooling pad will not be pressed hard enough with screws (with springs on screws), ant there will be a gap between CPU/GPU die and heatsink surface. This will lead to CPU/GPU overheating.

[@akpofure9903]

Hello please Ali express link for the thermal pads mine is messed up😂😂

[@tradeology]

Hmm usually not a good idea to spread the paste. Better to draw an X and let it properly squeeze. Anyways how’s the cpu temps afterwards any difference?

[@tradeology]

Had mine apart many times but I never took the heat sink off. I did however add additional heat sinks. Noticed lately my core temp is starting to vary between cores so figured I’d see if anyone else was addressing a similar issue before I pulled it apart again.
