I like your patience and how you go through all the steps without stopping the camera. That is very helpful because we could learn from you and your manners and trial and error method. your tone is very calming and that is what I want to hear when I need to go through such a detailed job. Thank you so much... you did such an excellent video.
Been putting this off for over a year. Had everything needed but afraid of doing worse damage. Ran across your videos just jumped to it and wow, good as new. I truly appreciate your help and instructions.
Thank you, thank you. It's July 2019 and I still have an HP Pavilion that I still needed to repair. Your videos were a tremendous help with this. I feel for how painstaking the little screws are. Just wanted to let you know your videos are still worthwhile and very good.
KERSH mine has been clicking and rattling for the past few years. I just took it apart, same as yours, plugged right up. I'd rather buy RAM than a fan, but it can't hurt.
The two small "leftover" screws are actually from under the hard drive. You forgot to put them pack in before you replaced the hard drive at the end. 😉 Hope that helps with the "mystery" of the extra screws! Thanks by the way for your videos. They really helped me out a lot with cleaning my fan and replacing the thermal grease.
Cheers for uploading this. I just picked up a second hand HP Pavilion laptop from a friend. Thought I better check the fan before firing it up. Glad I did. It was full of crap. But thanks to your guide it is now clean as a whistle. Thanks.
I'm looking at this in 2020, and this is just as useful now as it was back in 2014. Was that your son who is so smart and suggested that it may not have power in the battery. He was right. His voice sounds like my son's did a couple of years ago. He is also very intuitive. Part one and two were great vids. It's good to see how swapping the fan out can be done on a laptop. Time and patience can save you money.
Thank you for these two videos! First time I ever disassembled a laptop! Cleaned and replaced the thermal paste also ... now works like new! Keep in mind, this first attempt was on this older model laptop ... best to practice on older gear, that way if something breaks, oh well...
Thank you Mr. Dave! I have went from rags to PC riches thanks to your tutorial. Three minors error I made : 1 - didn't plug the fan in fully - re-plugged it firm and it works perfectly. 2- putting LARGE screws in the back of the mother board - this blocked the battery from being flush - replaced with correct SMALL screws ( wondered why so many were left)- AOK . 3- After stripping it 2x , got careless removing said screws out and damaged the Power button ribbon cable slightly - can still " Hot wire" it by removing the keyboard > AC power takes over and everything runs fine - will take a closer look tomorrow but that is a $ 2 snap fix. The 2019 fan works much better than the original.The big thing you did for me Dave is destroy my fear of working on PCs. I watched the vid 2 x , then paused as I went along with my repair and by Jove it works - maybe brudder didn't get all the mechi brains. Thanks again Dave - 2 Thumbs up.
Great video! Thanks for the step by step instructions, the hardest part for me was trying to track down the thermal heat sink compound, radio shack closed down where im from but was able to buy a small packet from a computer repair shop in town for $2. Total cost for the reppair was $11 (9 for the fan and 2 for the hs compound). Also one of the extra screws you have is the one holding in the motherboard. Just a fyi, Thanks again!
Thank you! After four years of usage, I had to reapply the thermal paste on the CPU. It was almost completely dried and the fan was very loud because of it. You were my guide in my first notebook disassembly. Thank you again :)
Very helpful I was able to replace the fan. The old one was was stuck with dust. It may have worked once cleaned but I had already bought a new fan so I figured I may as well put the new one in
Bruh, this video is great! It's 2019 and I still got one of these bad boys and this is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! Very much appreciated.
great Dave, took it apart - put it back together and it works - even managed to drop all the screws and have a few left over - it still works!!! thanks for the video
Thanks for the helpful video Dave. And speaking of helpful, I find it really handy to stick a magnet on the shaft of my screwdriver to hold the screw while getting it started in the hole, or to help remove it without needing the tweezers.
It’s 2022, my laptop fan finally went out. With this video I hope to bring the laptop back to life, already swapped hhd to ssd two years ago and runs win10
I just used this mega useful tutorial to strip my G6 to replace CPU fan, when all was dismantled I found my cheap Chinese replacement fan only had 3 wires to the OE 4 wires, so I lifted the blade off the OE motor, (It's only held by magnetism) cleaned the centre pin and oiled the bearing with 3 in 1 now it works perfectly. I found I had one 6.5mm screw too many and one 4mm too few, took the machine apart 3 times and could not find where I'd used the wrong one, so I just found the one place under the rear cover where the 6.5mm screw wouldn't foul anything and used it there.
I have a Question I was wondering if you could answer for me. I took my laptop apart just like you showed me and cleaned off the cpu and when I was cleaning off the heat sink I put a couple scratches in it because I used the metal screwdriver to scrap off the old compound off before I used the q-tip and rubbing alcohol. So my question is do you think it will be ok and still work properly? Even though there is a few scratches where the heat sink meets the cpu? Thanks and God Bless and Have a Great Day and hope to hear from you soon!.
I too was able to get it apart and back together (and also had a couple of little screws left over). I powered it up and it worked - got to the Home Screen. I then shut it down and when it went to power it up again, I kept getting a message “Preparing Automatic Repair” and then it shut down. Any thoughts?
Hi Dave. I replaced my fan but my computer keeps overheating. Did I get a faulty replacement fan? Is there a way to test the fan before disassembling everything, installing and reassembling? thanks!
Great video! Didn't need to replace the fan, just the thermal paste that was all dried up. I used a pea-sized spot of Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste which seem to be highly rated. The CPU temperature (via Open Hardware Monitor) is now under 40C when the system is idling but can peak around 70C when the system is working hard. (BTW the shutdown temperature for the A6-4400M processor is 100C, so I guess I'm safe!) The only problem to report is the last step - great difficulty replacing the plastic disk/memory cover plate. It just would not seat in proper position. I think the problem was partially related to the position of the black cable next to the snap-on connector near the hard disk cable. Positioning the problem cable to the side of the snap-on connector (instead of on top of it) seemed to help, but even after playing with it for AN HOUR the cover plate still isn't as flat as I'd like! Any thoughts? BTW, I don't think the WiFi card and its connecting wires need to be disconnected. Saves a bit of work!
Hi Dave, thanks for the great tutorial. I've reached up to the fan, but can't take the fan out from the heatsink, can't find the right screwdriver for it. What screwdriver did you use to undo the two small screws which attached the fan to the heatsink?
hi dave. i want you to ask you that where did you bought fan ? can you send link? i checked ebay there are a lot of fans between 5$- 50$ which one should i buy?
yuhtyyy I ordered mine from ebay for $6.29. It had the description: "New Laptop Notebook CPU Cooling Fan for HP Pavilion G6-2000 Series 683193-001". The seller I bought it from is not selling that item now. Hope that helps.
Dave Richards dude i opened my laptop as you did. also i got 2 more screws and im did it true :D my fan was too dirty and i cleaned it.but still sometimes works too hard and sometimes too slow. should i change it? will it help to laptop's performance? and another thing is what is your glue used ? can you give me name ? thank you so much :)
Luv the video ! much appreciated. Now it sounds like someone else feels that you need to appreciate them too judging by that passive aggressive dish banging in the background. LOL good luck buddy!
Hi, I watched all your 2 videos, and I followed your instruction step by step. Everything was fine my computer did boot up well, but 10 min later the screen started to become blurry and green!! What can I do to resolve it, please I really need help, I don't want to spend extra money to buy a new laptop
I will copy that and I hope it will work with me because I fed up from snapping it many times and there was no point from that. Thank you so much dear David
You videos are great but i was just wondering if i should get the heat sink to or just the fan! How will i know if i need both. My computer shuts off right away it just tels me there is a cooling problem and wont stay on. So should I just buy the fan and glue or heatsink to. Please let me know because i need my computer and dont want to order the wrong thing. I ended up just getting the Fan and glue and will use your videos to instal it. So thank you for making them and i will let you know how i make out.
Matthew Pankowski Well, my son who uses the laptop now, uses it for watching RUclips videos and playing Minecraft, and he has not had a thermal shutdown yet since replacing the fan. Just telling you what worked for me :)
I finished my computer yesterday and it is running just fine thank you so much for your awesome videos that I watch to replace my fan in my Pavilion g6! They were a great Help!
Ive followed these exact steps and my laptop isn't turning back on? It's been charging now for 10 minutes. Do you recon it's a batter issue or I've left something out?
i'll wait a week of continued use to just say this worked but. this worked so well!! thank you so fucking much i love how slow you were, that helped me follow along. also your voice was soothing thanks!!!
my fan was working before. i dissembled my laptop to replace a new keypad touch and replaced all the cables exactly how they where before and i turned my laptop on and it starts up and then shuts down. I realised that the fan is not running even on start up. What do you think that might cause the problem or what should i do.
When doing this a part fell out. Its about 3 inches long and half inch wide. Part is dynamic km2-uo. There are connectors on both sides. I think this is an optical connector. WHERE does this go in the computer?
Thank you very much, your video saved my laptop, I have some problem with the cooling system and it was very dirty, also when bay the laptop the man how sel to me laptop didn't tell that he opened before and now after 4 years of usages I discovered that I have a lot of screw are messed and I hope I'll be able to fix it.
I did the same steps and I figured out where the two small screws belong, but when I turned on my laptop everything was correctly plugged in except the keyboard 🤦🏾♂️
What I don't like about the HP Pavilion series is the fans virtually run all the time the computer is on. Other PCs have thermal fans which only operate when the CPU gets warm, then they power down during low-load operations, like working on a word document. The problem with this design is the fan unit collects a lot more dust causing the fan unit to fail regularly. It was only when my HP main board got a power surge that the tech replaced the old dying fan (which began to play up when the unit was 13 months old) and put in a thermal fan instead. It runs only when the CPU gets warm. I won't get another HP again! Too many problems with them.
Thanks Dave, I Couldn't have done it or even tried without your video, Only trouble I had to redo was the connection for the keyboard when I typed in s S got X apparently a tooth off, Not bad for a non Geek Squad guy Thanks
How about using a magnetic screwdriver, or simply magnetizing the one you have next time, then you don't have to turn the machine over and shake the screws out of it.
Wayne Jones It doesn't to any damage. I've been using magnetic tipped screwdrivers for 15years+ at our pc repair shop. Some laptop like Acers 5930g even has a strong flat magnet embedded into the housing to keep the metal cpu fan in position.
Hey man I also have the same PC but problem is not this I have to replace my charging pluck please make another video for replacing charging pluck of hp pavilion g6
Don't use water. If its dried out. You can use the edge of a credit card or a car in general. If it's still wet. Use a rag to wipe it up. Water may damage it.
suggestion , magnetize your screwdriver makes it much easier to remove tiny screws , work slowly with patience and note the position and size of each fastener removed with video or photos (there is often a symbol present for a fastener position as well in some cases) to reflect back upon on reassembly, view videos on youtube on what to use to clean old thermal compound and how to re-apply to the CPU/GPU (Processer in this laptop has built in Graphics hardware as well) chip to ensure a good heat transfer bond to heat pipe contact plate , use gentle care in flipping up the release tab and removing ribbon cable connectors, for snap in connections (Used on the Fan connection) never pull on the wires grasp the snap in plug connector and slightly rock while pulling up to unplug . one should not need to remove the CPU/GPU from the retention mechanism. All computer hardware can be damaged by static electricity so use care to avoid any static charge on your body.. touch a grounded surface before handling the motherboard, or its components.
Same model as my laptop but the problem is the fan keep running all the time, and getting overheat, how do I solve this problem? Anyone, Thanks in advice.

I couldn't sent my laptop for service due to quarantine so I watched your videos. Like all the other said, THANK YOU!!!
Man, it's 2021 you gave my pavilion g6 a new life....omg thank you very much
Did this in August 2019 and now again in July 2020. Had to apply the thermal paste. Thanks for your videos. We need an update mate. Cheers.
Thanks, Dave, you helped me clean my cooling fan today. Laptops almost silent for the first time in years!

Great Video. I have zero computer skills but i fixed mine. Thanks to this video.
And i only had 2 spare screws left over lol.
Andrew B - I'm so hoping I'm that lucky! ;)
Thank you so much! This helped me soo much. And I watched part 1 for the missing screws and now my laptop is working properly again!
Very helpful I was able to replace the fan. The old one was was stuck with dust. It may have worked once cleaned but I had already bought a new fan so I figured I may as well put the new one in
Lol. How funny this video is 8yrs old and it helped alot today. Thanks
Bruh, this video is great! It's 2019 and I still got one of these bad boys and this is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! Very much appreciated.
great Dave, took it apart - put it back together and it works - even managed to drop all the screws and have a few left over - it still works!!!
thanks for the video
Thanks Dave. Worked a treat. I only had one small screw left!
Ive just done it via your guide .Now my computer works gracefully . Thank you man alot !
Dave--Great Job! Thanks for the step-by-step instruction--well worth doing it myself!
Thank you Dave ... I was able to clean the fan using ur detailed video lesson ... Really appreciate your effort. Liked
Thanks for the helpful video Dave. And speaking of helpful, I find it really handy to stick a magnet on the shaft of my screwdriver to hold the screw while getting it started in the hole, or to help remove it without needing the tweezers.
I was surprised to see he didn't use a magnetic screwdriver. They make life so much easier.
It’s 2022, my laptop fan finally went out. With this video I hope to bring the laptop back to life, already swapped hhd to ssd two years ago and runs win10

yuhtyyy I got it at RadioShack. It's called Silicone base Heat Sink Compound.
Why did you need to remove the heatsink assembly? Could the fan be replaced without this step?

Replacing the fan n unplugging everything will not mess with the memory or things stored on the computer will it?
Christine Lewars Sorry for the late reply. No, replacing the fan will not mess with the memory or anything stored on the computer.
i'll wait a week of continued use to just say this worked but. this worked so well!! thank you so fucking much
i love how slow you were, that helped me follow along. also your voice was soothing
thanks!!!
Thank you very much for your tutorial it really helped me a lot. I just fixed my Hp laptop thanks to your guide!
Followed this,took my time,no extra screws,tried to fire it up,no power,battery or ac cord,any clues on what I missed?
The one small screw out of two you had extra went to hold down the Motherboard you didn't screw in.
Bro part one really helped as i Just wanted to clean the fan. This really helped and part one for me was really helpful showing the disassembely😀😀😀
my fan was working before. i dissembled my laptop to replace a new keypad touch and replaced all the cables exactly how they where before and i turned my laptop on and it starts up and then shuts down. I realised that the fan is not running even on start up. What do you think that might cause the problem or what should i do.
When doing this a part fell out. Its about 3 inches long and half inch wide. Part is dynamic km2-uo. There are connectors on both sides. I think this is an optical connector. WHERE does this go in the computer?
if it's a strip, it should be for the power switch.
Dude, this is so helpful! Thankyou!
I watched this and did it first time and had 2 little screws left too 😂 thanks for the video
Thank you very much, your video saved my laptop, I have some problem with the cooling system and it was very dirty, also when bay the laptop the man how sel to me laptop didn't tell that he opened before and now after 4 years of usages I discovered that I have a lot of screw are messed and I hope I'll be able to fix it.
after all the assemble everything is working fine exceot the wirelless...All the cables are connected. Any ideas?
So is the CPU soldered on planning on replacing CPU with a A8_3550mx
MA'AM i'm trying to rebuild a laptop for the first time in my life, the dishes can wait! hehe
Haha especially when I'm doing a RUclips video! Cutlery clanging, drawers and cupboards slamming! Dear oh dear hehe sorry Dave :)
2 screws, but works like a beauty! Thanks you so much!
Thank you so much - this has been a great help.
My battery is dead as well after doing this, how long does it take to charge?
Thanks for both videos. They've really helped me fix mine. Good job well done Sir. 👍
I did the same steps and I figured out where the two small screws belong, but when I turned on my laptop everything was correctly plugged in except the keyboard 🤦🏾♂️
Would it be just fine if I do not use the thermal paste? Or if it's necessary then please suggest me the name.
it gives better connectivity and heat exchange between the heatsink and CPU
thanks I cleaned my laptop and added thermal paste thanks a lot rlly helped me
where should I get the Fan for the same model & service part number?
What is the Number Part of the fan cooler? I have a g6-2206ss!

Hey dude. Thanks a lot. I repaired my woman's ntbk for 7 dollars :)
Thanks Dave, I Couldn't have done it or even tried without your video, Only trouble I had to redo was the connection for the keyboard when I typed in s S got X apparently a tooth off, Not bad for a non Geek Squad guy Thanks
Thanks for the how to
I did mine today and it works perfectly bless up
Thanks for posting very informative and educating video.

Gripen90, really? That's crazy, is thought the exact opposite! Cool...
Hey man I also have the same PC but problem is not this I have to replace my charging pluck please make another video for replacing charging pluck of hp pavilion g6
doesn't need to wear "STATIC" Braclet?
thank you - helped me clean that thing :)
Thank you very much for your video ! Really helped us
i dont have rubbing alcohool can i use anything else like water?
answer please i already opened my laptop
Don't use water. If its dried out. You can use the edge of a credit card or a car in general. If it's still wet. Use a rag to wipe it up. Water may damage it.
RoyalDeath2 thanks
That residue was thermal paste and should of been re applied after remove it , problems maybe occur in the near future .
Also called heatsink compound.
Is it a 3 wire or 4 wire fan?
Thanks a million.
Now I don't need a new laptop
suggestion , magnetize your screwdriver makes it much easier to remove tiny screws , work slowly with patience and note the position and size of each fastener removed with video or photos (there is often a symbol present for a fastener position as well in some cases) to reflect back upon on reassembly, view videos on youtube on what to use to clean old thermal compound and how to re-apply to the CPU/GPU (Processer in this laptop has built in Graphics hardware as well) chip to ensure a good heat transfer bond to heat pipe contact plate , use gentle care in flipping up the release tab and removing ribbon cable connectors, for snap in connections (Used on the Fan connection) never pull on the wires grasp the snap in plug connector and slightly rock while pulling up to unplug . one should not need to remove the CPU/GPU from the retention mechanism. All computer hardware can be damaged by static electricity so use care to avoid any static charge on your body.. touch a grounded surface before handling the motherboard, or its components.
Thank you this was a great help to me.
