Complete procedure of HP Laptop Disassembly

HP laptops are not only portable but
also allow professionals to transfer
the entire file cabinet's worth of
information from one website to
another. This feature can also ruin
the entire laptop system. Reason
being its compact size blocks airflow
and HP laptops are prone to
overheating. If Hewlett Packard's fan
isn't working properly, then don't
waste time in replacing it

1. Shut down your HP laptop,
disconnect all its peripherals
and unplug its power cord.
2. Release built-up static
electricity by touching an
unpainted metal object.
3. Now, place a cloth on a flat
surface. Close your laptop's
screen panel and flip it upside
down on the cloth.
4. Take off the screws from the
battery cover with a
screwdriver. Now, constrict the
locking tabs and take out the
battery assembly.
5. Now, remove the screws from
the hard drive cover and take
out the cover. Unplug the cable
which connects the hard drive to
the motherboard, if required.
Slide the drive out of its place or
bay.

6. Release the screws that safeguard the CMOS
battery and memory module panel. Take off the
panel and pull out battery and modules.
7. Now, remove keyboard cover nuts with the help
of a screwdriver. These screws are placed in some
or following places: two corners of your laptop
bottom, directly below the center of the keyboard,
in the memory module section and in the battery
position.

8. Now, turn the laptop panel and
open the display. Now, you have to
use a flat-head screwdriver, separate
the upper section of the keyboard.
This is the component which is
closest to display panel.

9. Now, remove the keyboard's
upper screws which are placed
near 'F' keys.

10. Now, elevate keyboard only to
see its ribbon cable connection to the
motherboard. In case, if the ribbon
cable is protected with a locking
cover, lift that cover and safely take
out cable from the motherboard
socket. If the connector shows
locking tabs, force and holds the tab
as you take out the cable from the
socket. Lift up the keyboard.

11. Find the LED board socket,
labeled on the motherboard. Hold
the connector with your thumb
and carefully unplug the wire
which connects the LED board to
the motherboard. Follow the same
procedure for video display,
webcam, power button, two
antenna connections and
touchpad, if required.

12. Now, remove the nuts from
the display panel hinges. Hold
the panel to prevent it from
falling during the removal of
the last screw.

13. Pull off the top cover and
unplug the cables connected to
USB ports, power jack and the
audio jacks from the laptop.

14. Release the nuts from the
motherboard and carefully
hold the motherboard from
the laptop case.

15. Release the screws from your
HP's fan or cooling assembly,
unplug its connector and take it out
of your laptop case.

16. Fit new fan or cooling
assembly in the laptop case,
tight the screws and plug in its
power connector.

17. For reassembling HP
laptop, follow steps 4 through
16 in reverse order.
