Lenovo Y510p how to disassembly, fan cleaning

[@dilloncwwaters4442]

To all the people saying this is insane: You are wrong. It is not that hard to do. I followed the steps in the video and had it done in 30 minutes just make sure you organize your screws well. Also a lot of the steps in this video are not necessary to clean your fan out. Simply follow the steps to removing the back panel, then follow the steps to remove the keyboard. Blow out the dust from the fan and put it all back together.

[@commandruller]

So basicly you need to rebuild the laptop in order to clean the cooling system.

[@gurselozbek]

fuck this laptop

[@BrianReichert]

Actually, I don't think taking it fully apart would be needed. Just pulling the bottom panel off and blowing out the fan with canned air should be good enough. No need to pull the heat sink off and redo the thermal paste IMHO.

[@Velehokala]

@@BrianReichert You should change every 1-2 years thermal paste so yeah and if it heats too much it is time to look inside

[@NaudVanDalen]

​@@VelehokalaI just opened this laptop for the first time in 9 years. It worked fine a week ago. No overheating.

[@Velehokala]

@@NaudVanDalen It needs to be 100% load to see if it overheats. and usually these dont even auto shutdown. you need to look temps by yourself. and also thermal paste dont go bad i think if it is not in use

[@manspreader7854]

Nice vid.I especially liked the powering screws out but hand tightening them back in.

[@scorpiodragon42]

for anyone who has the same problem, there's a M25X10 screw hiding near the center of the computer, right next to the clip for the red, black, blue, and white cable

[@420dogma]

+1 this moron pauses the video and takes all the rest of the screws out and then starts recording again.

[@yomadderisphat]

thanks man, very helpful video, helped me quite a bit

[@Cjur]

My y510p badly needs this, but I'm not sure, I have the balls or the skills to do this. Think it's worth it to hire a local computer technician to do it?

[@justinmayhew145]

I'm with you. I'd just as soon do that.

[@batulefou]

can you remove the fan without removing the whole thing? I don't feel comfartable lifting the keyboard

[@420dogma]

@rahujian1234 mandu It's not an issue of 'don't lose screw'...it's a matter of not torquing them too tight, or they might have to be drilled out and then you're screwed. If the system has gone to Lenovo for a repair, well, good luck...most of the screws will probably be too tight to remove without stripping/drilling out, and it's very difficult to find replacement screws anywhere except from that Lenovo repair shop.

[@mr.m2267]

next time; step 1: watch the fan cleaning video, step 2: decide to buy or not that laptop.

[@emreyucel27]

It's clearly true buddy :(

[@PaulMThe]

I probably will do this next month. I've done this kind of deep cleaning to many laptops, so I have a lot of experience. Nevertheless, I see in the comment section a lot of people are having problems, like the laptop don't turning on. Is it them that don't know what they do or do it carelessly, or is this Y510P a really tricky laptop to disassemble and assemble correctly?

[@adrianwawrzyniak4231]

my friend started to cry when he undressed his laptop

[@sumdood2035]

All that work just to replace the fan? Might as well part it out. It's already in pieces. guess I'm lucky with a Dell E6530 and it's modular fan. 2 screws, and a cable. I'm thinking a strong blower like a datavac from inside the housing would blow any dust through the vents without disassembly

[@SMSaad-sb8fx]

which spray you used for cleaning fan ?

[@leotermanelleo1912]

How you guys doing that keyboard! I can’t manage

[@shaasesoria]

many thanks for the video!! I have to do that in my laptop. Question: reinstall the w8.1 is not as easy as should right? I read the lenovo forum and this particular laptop don't allow to install w10 for example. Something to do with the boot menu. Do you have any instructive video so I can install w10 instead of w8.1? thanks, regards from Argentina!

[@eladojanos6167]

Hallod, köszi a videót!

[@janmatsch]

No way I gonna do that hahahah. I will NEVER be able to put everything together again

[@seifsamir1542]

I did everything as demonstrated in the video. the fan works perfectly fine now, but the speakers don't make any sound. I opened it again and checked, it looks totally fine but it still doesn't make any sound. Everything else works just fine. Its also not a software problem as I checked in device manager. Any clue for what might have happened?

[@mylaptop1207]

The speaker connects to the mainboard from the bottom, near the wifi modul. Did you double checked this?

[@seifsamir1542]

I am not entirely sure. I guess I will have to double check, but Could you please tell me in which minute of the video did you get to that part?! In order to make sure that I get it right this time.

That was indeed the problem and I got it fixed. Thank you so much for responding and also thank you for the amazing video.

What's that lil powered drill you got there?

It's a Makita. Amazing products :D

[@lesternygaard5094]

When i took out my keyboard with a creditcard like you did in the video mine did not look like yours in the video even through I have the same laptop.. Mine is all white under and I can see the Red LED's under, anyways now im trying to get it back together but I cant seem to pop the keyboard back on... Any suggestions? did i break my keyboard? Im thinking about super glueing it back togehter since i cant pop it in. Thanks in advance

[@TonyHarlan]

Exactly the same thing is happening to me right now. Popped off the keyboard with a credit card and it's white underneath. Wondering if we missed a step where you can pop that white part out. That's what it look like he did. Looks like the entire thing came out in one piece. Hoping I can get some help before putting it back together.

[@arabicsongs7028]

Hello where did you buy the small Driver-drill (thakita) and the kit ? i can't find it in Amazon ! Thanks

[@mylaptop1207]

[@arabicsongs7028]

Thanks a lot , i found it , can you tell me which the best Drill Set that goes with it for doing exactly what you have done ? Thanks again !

[@mylaptop1207]

You need just bit heads for it. You can buy it in any hardware store.

so did you do it?

Did you do it?

[@Merol93]

Hey, I did something wrong and my audio/micro/usb on right side not working also keyboard red light not working too... Could you give me some advice?

[@claire98]

I had the same issue after accidentally breaking the plastic that held flat cable connectors down. Still trying to fix it, it's way harder than it looks :/

[@BitType]

Hey @mylaptop.hu One question for you! What is the plastic frame around the keys called?

[@mylaptop1207]

Hello! Upper case?

[@walterhooke8945]

Hey, i did same stuff like u on the vid to my y500. But after i put it together, it wont turn on. Any thoughts on that?

[@walterhooke8945]

Nevermind, didnt connect powerbutton properly.

[@PaulMThe]

Walter Hooke Nice to hear it's solved.

[@marchinghurdler]

What kind of temperature improvements did you see?

[@PaulMThe]

D Tom Yeah, you totally should have done a stress test before the operation and after the operation, and compare both results. That's the most exciting part of the whole process, to see -15°C under stress test.

[@relmdrifter]

Thanks for the disassembly vid. Found the mobo burnt :/

[@Grainsauce]

I think you used a bit too much thermal paste..... you only need to apply about a grain of rice sized portion of thermal paste, too much will causer higher temps!!

[@mylaptop1207]

Yes, I applied about a rice or pepper size portion, but I prefer applying like a thin layer.

[@1LLSAY]

mylaptop.hu yeah it looked like you put a lot of it on it, lol, thanks for the video

[@sweettooth5962]

I have the same problem, please help me to solve it.

[@RobynnxX]

Help! I did this with Arctic silver 5 and now it won't boot. No thermal paste is spilled. Power button turns on, but nothing happens. All connectors are plugged in. Power LED turns on, no fans spin, no video from external monitor either. When i try shutting it off by holding the power button, nothing happens either, the LED just stays on. Also tried with just the charger, no battery, please help, i'm desperate!

[@RobynnxX]

Yes :(

[@bivoca]

you probably forgot to connect a cable back. check the big one under the fan

[@PaulMThe]

MrRubenvos123 So, did you managed to solve the problem? What was it?

[@cisa__]

VERY COOL!

[@sturggaming6759]

Shouldn’t be using an battery screwdriver with a magnet tip genious

[@ashtonlin7014]

I'm gonna do this to replace my one sided faulty speaker as well as applying thermal compound. Hope my balls grow bigger by then

[@Jack_X075]

any update man? I also have the same speaker problem. Is it fixable?

[@Ricardo-sx7ez]

Is it right speaker? Mine only does like half of volume the left one produces.

[@purbayanroy]

Can someone help me with just disconnecting the display completely so that it forces the laptop to boot to an external display either via hdmi or via the vga port. I have manually unplugged the larger fat connector that I found just by opening the back panel i.e. beside the fan area! Urgent help needed to reinstall Windows 10. @mylaptop If you're watching this please help. You have shot the video amazingly. Just that what part does what I don't know. Need basic knowledge to just unplug the display and get bios running on my external monitor.

[@XTen1000DaysX]

think ill get that stronger duster and just dust it more inside lul.

duster?

looks scary

[@raul1899]

It's really not. I was scared too, the first time I opened up a laptop and completely dismantled it. But it's easier than it looks.

[@anthero4816]

i did open it , actaully it is harder than it looks lmao

[@Ryan-tw6ch]

Lmao

[@anthero4816]

You applying WAY TOO MUCH paste to compnents. It causes overheating aswell, you just need 2-3 rice piece amount of paste, and spread it with that same credit card.

[@namenullvoid]

Only worthwhile comment on this video

[@alishapenny5856]

Way too much thermal compound dude.

[@stuntchild]

I’ve never seen such sloppy thermal paste application my entire life. It’s definitely worth a reply video to that if anyone’s interested in making fun of this guy (jk, don’t do that). I hope he gets so many air bubbles caught inside there, and says to himself after turning it back on: “Wow, I cleaned the fan all nice, but why does my CPU run blistering hot now?!!”

[@CombatChris]

Me: ctrl+f "paste" ... thank god I'm not the only one that was cringing at that paste application

[@roronoazoro9228]

too much right?
