HP ZBOOK 15 G2 Take Apart Complete Disassembly How to disassemble

Hi!
No music. No talking. Just work.
If you are taking your HP ZBOOK 15 G2 laptop apart be careful and wear an anti-static wrist band or use other anti-static device. If you need to change a LCD usually you don't have to take screen out of a laptop. You can leave it on a laptop and watch the last part of the video where I am taking LCD apart. If you need to change a keyboard, you don't have to take all bottom screws out. There are usually some marks, like a keyboard picture, on a case bottom. If you need to put a laptop back to work be aware of screws. They are different and you better remember or mark them somehow to insure that you will put them back in to a right place.
Some laptops I take apart first time, so don't be serious on my time and performance.
If something got broken - ooops, it's your fault.
Believe me, some parts in your laptop are already broken, you just don't see that.
Have fun and good luck!!

Thanks. Swapped my thermal paste to i7-4800MQ with these instructions in my zbookg2. Got 19% faster results in cinebench. I used CG-extreme paste. That however did not solve my black screen (log off problem) why I mainly did it. It just logs off during things without any reason...

thank you for not adding music. you are awesome. other youtubers take notice.

[@regazzz]

Thank you so much!

Cool video! I have the same laptop and I upgraded the gpu, i love this laptop cause it lets you do that, I got a gtx 960m 4gb gddr5. The performance is awesome, I still keep the quadro k1100m, in case something happens.

[@regazzz]

Zbooks are pretty well build, still not too hard to service.

[@YeOldeKamikaze]

Hey, I want to do a similar upgrade. How much did that GTX 960M cost? Also, what CPU do you have on your Z? I was looking at the Quadro M1200 or M2200 but prices are ridiculous right now. Might settle for an M2000M which is a bit older but still has 4GB of GDDR5. Should be a nice upgrade from my puny K610.

[@tbladee]

@@YeOldeKamikaze An upgrade should be nice first of all make sure you can upgrade the gpu, I paid 120 bucks used, on ebay, i reccomend a m2000, but even a gtx 850 or 950 is super fine.

[@tbladee]

@@YeOldeKamikaze i got an intel core I7 4810mq

[@YeOldeKamikaze]

@@tbladee That's a great deal! I guess I can upgrade my GPU, considering it's an MXM module. I'm not too sure about manufacturer variants and VBIOSes but eh, I'll have to find out by experimenting haha. All I know is upgrading to Pascal cards (GTX 10 or Quadro P series) is a no-go, something to do with the laptop not reading temperatures correctly and running fans at 100% all the time. Upgrading to the best officially supported model, the K2100m, doesn't seem worth the cost and effort. Algo, nice CPU you got there. I'd like to upgrade mine to a 4930MX but they're too expensive!

What is the formfactor of SSD intro laptop?

[@YeOldeKamikaze]

Nice! I have a Zbook 15 G1 and it's been a reliable workhorse to date. Too bad the seller was less than perfectly honest, having advertised a quad-core model and eventually shipped a dual-core model. Still, it's been a joy to use and upgrade over the years. BTW: can I buy that fingerprint scanner from you? What about that webcam? I want them, mine came with blanking plastics instead :(

[@regazzz]

Zbooks are solid laptops. Very well build. I don't have any parts left for it. Video was filmed like 3 month ago. Sorry.

[@YeOldeKamikaze]

@@regazzz What a shame. Still thanks for replying.

[@eisviech9984]

Can the g1 still run complex tasks?

[@YeOldeKamikaze]

@@eisviech9984 Depends on your definition of "complex". Software development? Yes. SysAdmin stuff? Yes. Dealing with VMs? Yes (avoid the i7-4700MQ though). Emulating consoles? Kinda, yes, I've run PS2 and Xbox emulators on mine, and they run OK even though mine is on the weaker side of configurations with an i7-4600M and a Quadro K610m. Engineering and scientific tasks will require the better specced configurations and perhaps some unofficial upgrades. Crypto mining? Nah, it's too inefficient. Neural network training? I doubt it. Heavy gaming? Nope, it can't run anything newer than Maxwell GPUs.

What m2 ssd is compatible

[@ImieiDatisonoqui]

I'm looking for a new motherboard, where I can find it? thanks

[@regazzz]

I would search on eBay.

Thank you

[@fahadabbas1708]

Which M2 SSD card is suitable for HP Zbook 15 g2? I am currently using SATA SSD because I tried many M.2 cards but It does not appear inside. Also, my laptop heats so much any suggestions regarding overheating?

[@chriszod]

Can someone pls answer this question

[@schoolboy6704]

In my country the zbook g2 with an i7 4710mq and 16 gigs of ram costs about 400€. Is it a good price and will it be fine for my electronics engineering needs. I am a student and dont have much money.

[@YeOldeKamikaze]

That's a nice deal, considering it's a quad-core model which can be upgraded all the way to 32GBs of RAM. *PSA:* If you ever intend to do GPU pass-through to Windows guest VMs from a Linux host, stay away from the Core i7-47XXMQ series, they don't support VT-d, even though the Core i7-4600M does.

Great Video - what to do if my back cover stuck and does not open when I try to open it - does not open up. Please help - ZBook 15 Ge model - need to open it

[@regazzz]

Hello, what do you mean by "back cover stuck"? You can't open a laptop or can't take apart a upper part?

[@lent7088]

When i slide right slider which release back cover it does not open - tried many variety moves but it does not let the back cover get released. Does not want to break it

[@eliskaalbrechtova888]

@@lent7088 how did you fix that ? i have the same problem, but with battery... please help
