Very very helpful video I cleans fan of my lappy by the help of video Finally 5 screws are left dont know from wher😂

[@zirak93]

Thanks a lot man!. But I would really appreciate if you could also show how to assemble the computer once you have cleaned the fan. I know it's pretty obvious, but it's a bit annoying that you have to skip the whole video backwards to do it very correctly. After spending 3-4 hours to disassemble and assemble the whole computer I finally managed to clean the inside. Obviously it have worked since the computer is faster and according to core temp. the temperature have decreased from ca. 70 Celsius to 30-40 Celsius, which is a decrease with 30-40 degrees which is pretty good. Again thanks a lot. This helped me even if I didn't had the right tool. :P PS! I highly recommend anyone to unscrew the screw around the cover of the fan and clean inside with a box with compressed air. This helps a lot. I had much dust inside which one couldn't clean by just spraying on the fan on the outside. :) That's a tip from me. :) Another tip is if you go the cheap way, use the edge of a screw to get the white chips which is holding the white and the red cables (07:44).

[@zirak93]

[@evangmu8082]

All is well, there is thermal issues with this laptop, graphic chip has to be reflowed, shouldn't you clean the fan?

Is it possible to remove the cover without taking of the screw at the end of the L HDD cover, I'm servicing one, but the client rounded the screw now I can't take it off

[@milolomi5600]

I need this screwdriver... I have those with the spinning top, metal handle (always swiping in my fingers and it hurts) and its a little blue box with a kit of those screwdrivers ...

Hi, I have one of these laptops but it was destroyed in a flood. However, I did manage to salvage the touch screen. I bought a LVDC driver board and the display is perfect. So I want to use it with my raspberry pi 3 and I want to be able to use the touchscreen function. Can anyone tell me how I can get the touchscreen to work? I assumed that it would just be a case of connecting the touchscreen to a usb cable and then plugging that into my RPI3 USB port but I can’t find the touchscreen connection. I’d appreciate any help from you. Thank you in advance.

[@alabama1974]

thanks, is this pure copper on cpu and gpu? I want to put liquid metal paste.

[@NotebookCenterTV]

Yes it is copper. You should put thermal grease.

[@alabama1974]
