- HP Notebook 15-db0088ca Disassembly and system board tour
This laptop is what I would describe as a lower tier model of the HP Notebook 15 series laptop. Though it is limited for upgrades, it is perfectly functional for general use in 2020, especially with the addition of a Solid State Drive. Hopefully this video can help demonstrate how to disassemble for service.
**Note: if you own this laptop and find that it is running slow, consider upgrading to a Solid State Drive before buying something else. The 5400rpm Hard Drive the unit shipped with is likely the cause. I plan to install an SSD and use the HDD for secondary storage in another device.
Basic Specs:
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
AMD A4-9125 Dual Core @ 2.3GHz CPU
4GB DDR4 RAM
AMD Radeon(TM) R3 Graphics

Thank you sooooo much for this video, I will barely use this super slow laptop and try not to cry waiting for it to do something. Thank you.
Get an SSD in there and you'll probably be good to go!
That was glue you broke through for the screws. If you remove the rubber pad more carefully that film will come off with the rubber pad and allow you to stick them back on more easily
Thanks, yeah I was not very careful the first time!
@@HaisteComputerRepair lol. Yeah. We get to learn from you, so you're the guinea pig.
@@canadianuser6453 So long as it helps someone, I'm happy :)
Yeah, you don't have to lie. I bought one to have just for a backup and it was a piece of sh*t. It was slooooooooow but I knew it was going to be when i bought it but I really didn't think it would be that slow. Don't plan on doing much multi-tasking with it. If you open one program or app, you are going to make sure you finish up what you're doing on that particular app before you go and open up another app because if you don't it will sit there in a frozen state a until it gets ready to move forward and you are so right about the upgrading or replacing parts. Not all of them are like this. My envy has the 2 screw small rectangle where you can access the ram and wifi card. Makes life way easier. I basically boils down to you get what you pay for. Guys if you see one on sale, make sure you look it over really well. I would even do some research on it first because they put these things out knowing that people will see the price and buy it because it's so cheap. It's definitely cheap alright. You guys have a great day. Stay safe. God Bless. Thanks for the info Haiste Repair.
I agree that researching before you buy is important. I wouldn't recommend this laptop myself, unless it was the only option or better option over something worse. But, any consumer is free to make their own choice. I will always talk about it, but I try not to judge. Thanks for watching :)
@@HaisteComputerRepair Best way to be. I mean if you want to keep a spare around incase you have a major malfunction with your main, it's ok but as a long term solution, especially if someone is doing a lot of multi-tasking then look around first. The only reason I got this one because it was a budget laptop on clearance which means I got it for practically nothing so I shouldn't be judging either but I do a good bit of writing. You guys have your videos, I have my words. Even though people don't read anymore because they can come here and watch what I write about and there's nothing wrong with that. I even get a lot of my ideas from streaming sites. I just think that writing can get way deeper than a video can sometimes. With writing, I have a lot of notes all over the place. If you're in a hurry to pull up your notes or a video, a certain website while still running your writing software, it freezes up and it freezes up a lot. Hey thanks for sharing your opinion with me. There aren't many places where you can go and still have a conversation about a subject. I'm through with channels like that. All this negativity and arguing over the dumbest things ain't worth it and it's dragging the entire world down. Stay safe my friend, Keep on doing your thing man and God Bless.
@@gamecockmike175 Thanks! My channel is small and I find it interesting to talk to people here. Basically it's a haven compared to other social media like Facebook. No arguing or spreading of negativity, just people wanting to work on their devices. I have sold to a few writers and they are about as verbose as you. I used to spend time writing as well, more so in university. Now this is more my creative outlet. But, I will really enjoy a good poem or piece of writing when it comes my way :)
god pleas yoy man thanks very much i so much need this video
Part of the reason I made this video is because I couldn't find a good one elsewhere!
@@HaisteComputerRepair THANKS MAN YOU ARE THE BAST
You saved my bacon on this one just to put an SSD in it. Cool!
Nice, I am glad it helped you out!
Hey thanks a lot! Hoping the tear down for my 15-db0048ca isn't too different from this. Was an old gift I don't feel like letting go of just yet lol, def gonna be putting an ssd into it.
Oh from the looks of things I can upgrade the ram from 8gb to 16gb. Hoping that plus a new ssd will help out a ton, just want quick browsing / light document work. Plan on making this a linux machine to mess around on as I'm not too familiar with linux and think it'd be fun to familiarize myself with it!!!
Good luck! Many HP notebook/laptops with that db000xxx whatever model # are similar.
How'd it go?
@@HaisteComputerRepair It didn't go so well sadly, device won't turn on anymore (must have messed the battery up in the process, may not be reseated properly). But that's ok, believe it was a good learning experience. Think I'll take the upgraded parts back out and if they still work put them into a ThinkPad T470 which should be much easier to service.
Opening the device up was a massive pain (scoring the top from the bottom mostly), and I wasn't able to get the top flush with the bottom once I put everything back together for some reason.
@@dnj79 Sorry to hear that. I don't really like the design of these HP notebooks. Not very sturdy or service friendly. The T470 will need to be scored along the palmrest as well, but it's just the bottom panel and some screws. The T470s variant is even easier to open up.
I followed these steps and at the end I realized this little piece came out but I already closed everything up after replacing the battery. Is that a problem?
Do you have any idea what the little piece could be? Can you explain what you think it is?
@@HaisteComputerRepair i have an image of it, is there any way I can send it to you via email?
can i ask if that screws are all the same? so i can put them together when im taking them out?
I don't quite recall. If you notice different lengths, you could always make a sort of chart on a piece of paper and place the screws under the written description of where they came from.
how much ram slot is there can i but 2 ram slot there ?
On this particular model, there is only one RAM slot. On other models, there are two. What model do you have?
@@HaisteComputerRepair I HAVE THIS MODEL HP 15-da0003na
8GB max !! This thing factory is so so so sad . Just purchased 8GB and a solid state drive we shall see if this makes it at least useful.
@@justaviewerortwo2924 did you do those upgrades? How is the performance afterwards? I just upgraded the ram to 8gb. Waiting on my new SSD coming tomorrow to swap that out. This computer is terrible at stock specs. I've got almost nothing on it and it's ridiculously slow and jumpy. Keyboard and mouse pad is sh*t too, but if this works well enough I'm just gonna set it up with a monitor and external keyboard and mouse.
@@canadianuser6453 after mods it is USABLE compared to before mods. This laptop is so so slow stock it’s scary. Not worth the money better of buying a better laptop at the start. We purchase this for a son to go to school with. This unit was so slow out of the box it was unusable. With the upgraded ram and a hard drive it’s just useable that’s my experience.
The battery is replaceable? Not soldered in or some dumb bs?
Yep that's right.
@@HaisteComputerRepair Thank you.
I have one of these which just shut off at the windows login screen. I have no charging light by the charge port, & it sounded like holding the power button to force power off, same sort of click/squeak. I took out the DC jack cable & I am getting 19v on the red/ black at the connector. Is there anything you know of that is as common problem on these other than DC jack
Does the laptop turn on at all when you press the power button? Or, are you saying that it gets to the Windows login screen and then shuts off? Have you tried removing the battery and just having the power adapter plugged in? What happens when you plug it in and try to power on?
Is it possible to swap the cpu for a better one or is the cpu embedded into onto the motherboard?
HP Notebook - 15-ac151dx
Looks like it is soldered on to the motherboard. So, if there is an i7 option, or better i5, you would have to swap the whole board out.
@@HaisteComputerRepair Okay thanks for the information 👍
i can upgrade Ram this Laptop HP 15-db0084AX AMD Dual Core ?
Absolutely, take a look for DDR3 1600MHz RAM
Bro is it possible to replace keyboard in this laptop?
Yes it is, I believe you have to disassemble just like in this video. Let me know if you need any help!
Haha oh man just ruined one, mine had only one screw under the rubber and i pushed a driver into the holes with plastic covering or so I thought but it poked through and ruined a hard drive :P
You win some you lose some! Something to learn from, good for you for trying.
Where's the CMOS on this laptop?
Must be on the other side of the motherboard . . I'm not too sure, sorry.
Here because my laptop is fucked. Power light is off, charger light is white, fans are at max speed and the power button does nothing. I think my only bet is to unplug the battery but im not sure how
Follow the guide in this video. The battery is released with the removal of a couple screws. Be careful not to touch the motherboard with anything that might be conductive if it's not shutting off. Just to check, you have tried holding the power button down to see if it will force a shut down?
@@HaisteComputerRepair yeah I did do that. I figured out how to take the battery out eventually and after I plugged it back in it booted up just fine (other than a cmos checksum invalid thing that disappeared before I could take a picture) and now im using it like normal so shrug
@@Lylcaruis Sounds like a win!
i have this laptop and i have 250 gb ssd but that is M2😟😟
Why the sad face?
@@HaisteComputerRepair this laptop is not M2 supported
@@HaisteComputerRepair BTW your video was very good
@@muhammadhassaanadil936 Thank you :)
@@muhammadhassaanadil936 Ah, darn. Well a hopefully a 2.5" SSD isn't too expensive in your area.
