Lenovo Ideapad 320 - Disassembly and cleaning

[@historiasideify]

Since I first used a laptop in 1996, I have been using a lot of laptops, and now I am using a Windows tablet, Android tablet, and Surface Pro Smart as well as some laptops. I bought an lenovo ideapad 320 model in 2017 and am using it. One year after purchase, the USB port contact was bad. And since last year, the keyboard input has been unstable, and since the end of last year, the laptop touchpad has begun to crack due to swelling of the battery. Chinese manufacturers' laptops are just cost-effective products, so peoples have think of them as being usable for about two years. And referring to your video, I removed the laptop swelling battery. thanks for your video.

[@devopratimbiswas2912]

The battery inside the laptop was shaking. Thanks to your video, I could open it up without any hassles. Thanks!

[@niloferkhan601]

I gave my laptop for cleaning and it charged me 5000/- After seeing this video, I was not sure as I am not a mechanical engineer so I did as shown... Though I messed up at some parts but everything then was fine Those parts which I didn't understand I gave it to the progression and it took me 1500/- only... So in short this helped me a lot ..

[@chiporello5267]

i have inserted a CD ROM from G70 into my Ideapad (although it is sticking out a little), thanks for the video!

[@fdijk3172]

Many thanks for the video. Quick question, I need to replace this laptops charging port. I cannot see from the video whether it is a solder on version or just clip in and screw down. I have the 14 inch IKB version, well my friend has, I am trying to fix it for them. Do you remember whether it needs soldering on? Many thanks

[@slpip4365]

I won't open it just for cleaning the fan. I only open it to replace the processor heating compound for a better cooling. The fan can use a vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out from outside without opening the laptop.

[@jhondeemacalalad4656]

Is it possible for the pc to be damage by that?

Such a terrible design in that if you have to replace the keypad, then you basically have to strip the entire laptop down to get at it!

yeah its pretty hard to replace the keyboard but at least its better then a macbook when you have to remove 50-100 rivets

I have a question. I bought it in 11/05/2018, well always when i turn it on the cooler sounds like scraping off. Does not sound like a good cooler. I had others notebooks and no one of them had this sound. Should i worry about it? When the notebook is in horizontal position i have no problens, but if i put it a little inclined the scraping beggins.

[@xbob2008]

it might be a problem with the cooler heatsink , i would send it to replace while in waranty...

Hi. I think my Lenovo Ideapad 320 is broken. Its not turning on, and when I try to push the novo button it turns on for a second then shuts down again. And the light at the side of my charging panel also blinks with the gap of 8 seconds. It is a built in type battery. So i tried removing the back cover and removed the battery. And tried the "drain the flea power" method, as well as the other methods but nothing is really working. Hoping for your fast response. :(

As you can see.. This laptop only have 1 fan. And 1 pipe heat sink.. How to solve over heating problem that can reduce the performance?

[@PearComputingDevices]

Easy, remove the junk pads they put on at the factory, apply good quality thermal paste and dont put the laptop on your lap. Despite being a laptop the cooling system is poorly positioned so that being on a soft surface reduces air flow. Lastly make sure your running your ram in dual channel. In single channel the soc aka cpu has to work a little harder to get data in and out. Anything that can reduce the stress on your soc will in turn save battery and thus produce less heat.

If you want to upgrade, see how much ram you currently have, if it is less than 8Gb's than you can buy a single stick of 8Gb's sodimm ram and swap them.

[@Vonneti]

Why do people give out wrong info? It’s very clear that aside from the existing ram being soldered on the motherboard, you have another slot available. In other words no swapping needed. You can add ram since it has one extra slot
