Straight to the point, no fluff, cuting out the footage of unscrewing, no "like and subscribe" crap - you're the real mvp! I miss RUclips instructional videos like this.
May I compliment you on not using a crappy, irrelevant music track? Or some intro bullshit story why you haven't posted a video the last 2 days? You give just the essence, I can really appreciate that.
I think it is important to add that to disassemble the HP 8770W it is also necessary to have, besides a small phillips screwdriver, a small torx screwdriver (star shaped tip) since half of the screws are torx. I would advice anyone who wants to apply thermal paste or put the laptop back together, to take pictures of the connectors before disassembly every step of the way thus be able to reverse the steps successfully as you put the laptop back together.
Ok i have 4 of these laptops and been maintenencing them in bulk. It's nor necessary to put the exact oem screws, I got multiple so maybe it's because I have an immediate reference on what it's suppose to look like but I replaced some screws with with new ones of the exact size because convinence. This laptop is real easy to service once you do it a few times
Yea same, this looks horrific to do. I thought Asus ROG laptops are worse but this takes the cake. Only thing I do want to do is clean the fan and outtake with can of air.
I got multiple ones , and found out the old owner of one of the laptops broke a ribbon connector piece and put it back together using a piece of cut up credit card plastic . It's a real possibility you'll break it if you aren't careful. It's easy to figure out where the ribbons go because they only stretch out to the connector and there's no exception
It's not bad really. This video really helps. I changed the existing i7-2670 to an i7-2860QM, and I'll put in a GTX 970M (cheaper than 980 but still a big improvement) in when it arrives. A blue pull tab came off one of the ribbon cables. Very carefully put it back on with cyanoacrylate and accelerant. Works great.
I found that wonderful. In the case of CPU, I would have tapped in a cross order, i.e., first one corner and then the opposite. It's a good practice screwing and unscrewing that way.
This is wrong, you shouldn't take out the keyboard like that. DONT DO THAT YOU WILL BREAK A KEY! Theres a hole at the bottom you can push it thru that, but beware, the keyboard glued in place with 2 sided tape on the upper right and on the right side. When it pops on the left side out start taking it out with a guitar pick/another plastic pryer, or a thin card. Do not pop the plastic outer cover of the keyboard you need to get out the metal thing.
Hello! I tried to look at the installation locations of thermal pads in this video. The video is useful, I am changing the video board for the 3rd time using this video. Every 2 years, as is customary on this laptop :). I noticed that the memory chips on the bottom side do not have thermal pads. Whereas memory chips are on the top side, they have such spacers. What is this connected with? And also, on the bottom side of the video card, and on the motherboard itself, there are gaskets that do not fit on the chipsets. Is this a board pad? The question is related to the fact that after the next replacement of the video card, the temperature on the video processor is from 56 to 99 degrees Celsius. It's a lot. And on the "GPU vrm" sensor in the Aida64 program, the temperature is 106 degrees Celsius. And this says that the video card was restored from oblivion in China. But, in any case, correct installation of the thermal pad will extend the life of the next Nvidia video card.
i was trying to figure out which heat sink is which so im pretty surprised the gpu cooling solution dwarfs the cpu, i also i run nvidia inspector on my 8770w its got a k4000m in it and when i have it maxed out it was struggling to stay under 88 degrees so it was throttling, but i took the back metal plate off, the one that pops off and i had a 6 degree reduction and it was able to run full bore without throttling, my question is i am thinking about drilling tiny holes in the back plate a bunch of them and i want to know how many i should drill and where i should drill them
I broke 2 similar laptops for experience by trial and error till I was able to master opening and replacing the thermal paste on the 8760w and 8770w on a regular basis. It's easy now
What are you tapping the screws with? I'm guessing you're removing any static electricity, but what is that tool? I'm guessing that removes the need to wear an antistatic strap...
Hello, I have an 8560w elitebook, it starts directly when I plug the charger, works with black screen for exactly 7 seconds then restarts. And so and so on. Till I plug out the charger. No peeps no sounds, just starts and restarts. Any idea? Thank you.
guys, what do you think about this laptop? I want to buy this model, second hand but in very good condition.. does it really feel like i7 and 16gb? or as usually hp put 12-16gb with core i7 but laptop works as turtle? well, its business, not home, and business are much better than home ones.. so what do you recommend me? any hidden problems? graphics problem? heat problem? slow?
I have it since June 2012, with i7 & FirePro M5950. The Machine can handle even todays applications like CAD software, it even can play older games (with a good SSD)! But my machine for a month now freezes randomly. I checked everything, all latest drivers installed, hardware diagnostics all fine and still can't figure out what's the problem. Today I replaced the CMOS battery to see if this helps, but not so optimistic! Still these machines are great, awesome build quality, 2 HDD bays + 1 if you change the DVD drive and not sure if the M.2 slot works with SSd!
@@ChristosVrats I have the same problem with my dell xps 1640, it freezes.. core2duo, 4gb ram.. it was manufactued in 2007.. New workstation is too expensive.. i wanted to buy dell g3 17 gaming (i5 with 8gb) but 1k euro for laptop is too much for me..
Friend, I have a laptop of these 8770w models, I want to know if it is possible to change the processor to a more advanced one and which would be the recommended one.
I have this laptop and successfully installed a 3920XM i(i7 extreme) and it's been working perfectly for a couple months now. Paired with 8GB ram an SSD and 2TB storage this bad boy runs great.
Is it gpu can cause power on and no display..total black screen. I just replaced new motherboard, I try connected to the external monitor to test also same… Ram installed to another laptop can work properly.
Bro, I have hp 8760w It would turn on and when I took to the shop he said graphic card is the issue. He also mentioned this remove card the power button comes but no screen, insert card no power at all. He saying replace card.
Jenner Heggstrom I was just asking for curiosity. But I did read somewhere about a guy who did this upgrade. Also there are no 8770w laptops for sale here in Brazil :P So even if I buy a 8760W and upgrade it with a decent GPU I would also be able to import a 70w motherboard to use faster CPUs. But I would probably look for a Zbook 17 somewhere else. And with that I also get a Thunderbolt Port for eGPU
I read somewhere about that as well, I remember he noted that it can be done but the trackpad will have to brought over from an 8770w and something else...I think the DisplayPort board were different-the connections I believe so if you were willing to live without the DisplayPort then the transfer can be done.
I think so. I did that with the probook 6460b and the elitebook 8460. I have both 8760w and 8770w laptops and they're identical. Not sure about the ribbon cable for the LCD screen but if it's not compatible then I just want to say a big fuck you to the engineers at HP who made them incompatible for profit
8770w series (17 ' display) came with:AMD FireProTM M4000, with 1 GB dedicated GDDR5 video memory, NVIDIA Quadro K3000M, with 2 GB dedicated GDDR5 video memory, NVIDIA Quadro K4000M, with 4 GB dedicated GDDR5 video memory, NVIDIA Quadro K5000M, with 4 GB dedicated GDDR5 video memory
You can push your index finger through an opening from the back side where the CD drive was, and thus push the keyboard loose enough to be able to grab it from the top right corner.
Who else is eyeing the maxed out version of this laptop on ebay for a 1,000 usd. I saw one costing 500 usd and I regret not getting it, the maxed out one..

I literally had to run out and get a precision torque screwdriver just to open this thing!
Thank you... You've convinced me to NOT replace my CPU thermal paste even though I really need to... So many ribbon cables scare me...
Yea same, this looks horrific to do. I thought Asus ROG laptops are worse but this takes the cake. Only thing I do want to do is clean the fan and outtake with can of air.
Dont be scared it easy not that hard to do and if you want to game on it buy a GTX 980m

So, I would assume that both the 8760w and the 8770w can use an MXM 3.0b GPU?
Good afternoon, what video cards are suitable for the 8760w laptop? Found M3000m please tell me, it's very necessary
You've saved me a lot of time.
Thank you.

This reminds me of a How to Basic video. But, where are the eggs?
Great video, thank you!
you goooood man

Hi. Do you think an 8760w could be upgraded to a 8770w just by replacing the motherboard and heatsink and keeping the chassis, screen, etc?
zwerne42 sounds like a lot of effort. wouldn't it be cheaper to jut buy a new one?
Jenner Heggstrom I was just asking for curiosity. But I did read somewhere about a guy who did this upgrade. Also there are no 8770w laptops for sale here in Brazil :P

where do i re-connect the camera? i think i switched it off some time ago, for security reasons
I upgrade with M3000m but dont boot
Guess I'll have to get over my ribbon cable fear eventually.. lol
hello , this laptop is compatible with nvidia's GTX series?
great video!
no only nvidia 1000m and 2000M

I can't open the keyboard. Please help
You can push your index finger through an opening from the back side where the CD drive was, and thus push the keyboard loose enough to be able to grab it from the top right corner.
What is the best GPU this can handle? Quadro 5010?
late reply, forum.notebookreview.com/threads/hp-elitebook-8770w-and-970m-6gb-and-980m-8gb-they-work.786791/
970m or a 980m reported by some people.
forum.notebookreview.com/threads/8770w-compatible-video-cards.795753/page-2 it seems 970m, 980m, and K5100M
980, 1070-1080, rtx 5000, too!
Thank you!!!!! :)
yo te podria vender y enviar una desde españa de 1GB .

How does this laptop handle throttling and overheating?
Very good. It can handle 105 celcius max.
thanks!

Meh,,,8570p design was so easy to upgrade RAM & CPU ,,,and 8760w design was too difficult for CPU upgrade!
What? The 8570p design is similar to this
