Lot of trouble to swap out a hard drive. HP could have made it easier. But you sure did help. It's those flat cables that drive me nuts.

[@LK-3000]

Thank you so much for this video. Yours is the first video that I have found that provides the level of detail in each of the steps--that is very necessary--to accomplish a fan replacement. As it was, before watching your video, I got all the screws except for the shiny flat screws under the optical drive. They didn't even register in my mind as something that needed to be removed. Those shiny screws, though, one fought hard to stay in place. It took two of us and a pair of pliers to mangle that third shiny screw out. Thank you again!!

[@D33Lux]

You sir are amazing, it is because of your grand wisdom that I was able to fix my computer. I wish I could give you 10 million likes. May everything positive in the universe gravitate towards you for lifelong success. I salute you!

[@koorite.]

imissmydog PJ it was not my laptop that i needed to take apart, and i normally only work on desktop computers, but i was fixing it for a buddy of mine who already took it to a pc repair shop but they did not fix it properly. after learning how to properly take it apart, thanks to this video, i fixed the issue (a bad hard drive) and now it works as good as new. just because someone might not know how to take apart every laptop case does not mean they have to take it to a "pro" to diagnose and fix a simple hardware issue.

Thank you for this, it was very easy to take apart. I’m trying to clean the inside and see if anything is damaged because I’ve had this laptop for almost 7 years and I haven’t cleaned it or anything. Im planning on replacing the screen and see if there’s any way I can make my laptop run faster. I love it very dearly and use it for nearly everything and unfortunately I can’t play many games on it unless I want them to run on 3 fps. Hopefully I can figure something out :)

Followed this video to remove the hard drive out of my laptop. I don't have a fan like this one does. ( I bought it 3 years ago or so, and the HDD stopped working just shortly after warranty went out. ) Do you think that could be the reason? I've never dropped it.

[@safeway2008]

you take out screw at :43 and then you can pull it out.

[@koorite.]

There are 3 silver screws holding it in. Remove them then just pull firmly to disconnect it from the motherboard. Also if you cannot open the CD tray due to it not being powered on, simply put a small pin or needle into the little hole located to the bottom right of the eject button.

[@MsHoneyMimi]

But even an eyeglass repair screw driver is too large and my next size is too small. Do I have to buy a special screw driver just to get the CD screws out?

[@derekmoore1612]

If you didn't find out by now, there is a latch that must be flipped. It looks like it is part of the socket that the ribbon cable runs into. The latch runs the full width of the ribbon socket and is a different color than the actual socket (I think blue on mine, but his looks black. If you watch closely, you can see him flip it.). It needs to be flipped (I think up). That will release the ribbon from the socket. There are a few of these latches on other ribbons also. Just make sure to fully seat the ribbons and latch them when reinstalling. I just upgraded to an SSD and had to take mine apart. I also removed the optical drive, bought a cheap caddy to take its place and put the old HDD in place of the optical drive. Now I have 2 drives. Works great. I use mine for media viewing/ listening a lot. It will use the SSD for the boot and apps, and the HDD for the media. It opens the programs almost instantly now.

Yeah so that’s not exactly how it works. I believe this uses integrated graphics and that means it’s built into the cpu. So you can’t replace it unless you full on replace the cpu. Now you can add another gpu on it and use it as your main one. Probably through a thunderbolt port or PCI express port.
