  • Complete dismantling / disassembly of an HP Pavilion 15 series laptop.
    Hard drive or RAM upgrade, screen,, power jack, fan, heatsink, keyboard/touchpad replacement all shown.
    Re-assembly is the reverse of dismantling so just reverse the steps.
    Please use an earth strap before handling the internal components -this was a dead laptop so I didn't bother.
    Dismantle your laptop at your own risk

    Thanks for your help. I had to replace the HDD for a friend of mine who has a very similar notebook (a HP Pavilion Notebook 15-ab004nh), I was nearly at the end of my patience when I finally found your video and thus the hidden screws. Cheers!

    Thank you so much for this. I have a different model so my screws were a bit different and I didn't have to remove the hinge things. This was great for someone like me who has no idea how to do these things. My hard drive said it disconnected so I came here to try to take the computer apart and fix it. Loved this, thank you again so much!

    Denis, your video saved my sanity yesterday. Even though my HP laptop is a completely different model, the bottom cover is exactly the same as this one. I had searched in vain for an explanation of where all the hidden (to me) screws are located. Thanks to you, I successfully replaced the fan, and everything is humming along nicely. Next step: replace the thermal paste. But now I won't be intimidated.

    Really helpful. My Pavilion was kinda different and there are no teardowns for these specific models but this helped tremendously! Also, I didn't mind that this was accurate because that laptop was having consistent hardware failures I just didn't care to break it.

    Thanks for this. Wish I'd have seen this earlier, before I cracked the plastic case trying to force the cover off, not knowing there were screws hidden under those 2 stupid sticky things. What a terrible design idea. Thanks though.

I opened it to find out the pin on the board just went out, I fixed it back and the keyboard went fully functioning. Thanks

    THANK YOU! This is an excellent video and it helped me, because I was not completely fastidious with keeping track of everything. One thing you did not do, was to note the screw sizes. There are *4* different sizes involved with this laptop. If you don't keep track it becomes a nightmare. I was still with 1 left over screw... took the laptop completely apart again and could not figure out where it came from.

    Any tips on replacing a trackboard? My friend had hers break after spilling some water on it and I'm going to try and replace it. I found the right part but just want to make sure it isn't glued on or something stupid like a lot of cheap laptops seem to have. Hers is just a cheaper version of one of these. I've replaced stuff on my ASUS but it is a lot more modular and the parts are much easier to get to.

    **NOTE** 2 items applicable to the Pavilion 15-p167 laptop:
    1) The hinge cover does not pop out as shown. It has a screw under each friction pad that needs to be popped off first to reveal the screw. Once removed, the hinge cover comes off as shown. Then you can remove the screws in the next step.
    2) There is one last disc-shaped "mini" screw that prevents removing the top cover from the base and is found by removing the CD/DVD tray cover.
