Refurbing my sisters old laptop. Very helpful, Justin, thank you. I also used to have that nice Lenovo y510p Dual SLI laptop you have there. Pretty kickass for it's time! Could even keep up with some of todays stuff!
Thank you for the great video. Hopefully it will save a few machines of being damaged and a few minutes/hours of frustration. I know how valuable this information is, I know laptop disassembly is a tricky business. These machines are nicely built. Not too many plastic bits to break during disassembly and access to the components are accessible.
That's a really good vid, really really helped me replace my CMOS battery. Thanks. I'm gonna say a couple of things which I hope will be taken in the spirit that they are meant which might also be useful: Could your shot be closer to the machine so we can see in more detail what's going on, the computer only takes up a third/quarter of the screen, the rest taken up by mat and some other keyboard (that's never used). It'd be really handy for those fiddly bits. Secondly: 2 or 3 still shots showing where all the screws go and what type they are at various stages of disassembly ? I know that all this is more effort on the makers part (esp the second suggestion), and my questions are just to highlight possible improvements for future vid makers/disassemblers. Just some ideas, it's great as is, again thank you very much. (Best bit the twist and slide to get the case off) 🙂
Thank you for this video. I want to put the fingerprint sensor/cable since my 8460p does not show “biometrics” in the device manager. I will come back with in an update on that issue. Thanks.
Hi Justin ,i want to upgrade the gpu so can you please tell me where is the gpu chip is placed because i se 2 on mother board,i want to replace it with AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD6470M, i have the chip and i m preparing for the process....
Excellent video - Thank you. I need to replace the BIOS chip, and was wondering how far I have to disassemble the unit in order to get to it - Also, where the BIOS chip is on the board (I could probably find it when I take it apart, but it would be useful to know beforehand). Thanks
Hi this is a great easy to follow video. Thank you. Before I go ahead and open my Elitebook up, I believe that the power adapter surged. So I have a new HP power supply the laptop will not start. The blue light with what looks like a lightening symbol above it on the front panel is on. It is the light next to the HD write drive. My question....Is there a fuse on the motherboard?
Hello Justin, i have a problem with this model, happens the touch pad buttons, I mean the buttons primary and secondary, they stop working. Did you see what is the type of connection bindin the buttons and the motherboard? Any details about it would be very helpful Thanks in advance
Very Useful... can you give me some help? the start button is not working, I've tried to disassemble and check whats wrong but still the same... it run if I push the ethernet button next to mute button. what can I do?
Hello Justin, great video. I'm looking to replace the touchpad. The HP maintenance manual does not cover removing the top cover (and touchpad). Have you done it? Thanks.
I took apart completely and when I was putting my screen back on I put both hinge screws in. After I did so and tried folding it down to work on getting the rest back together, it snapped off the plastic part extremely easily. I am going to get a replacement part, but do you have any ideas how to fix this going forward? Ill be extremely scared to do that again.
i have the same laptop, how can i check problems in mother board?. my first hard disk is damaged and with the new one appear problem boot 3F0 also the mother board warms.
Thank you, this looks easier than 6555b and even 8440p, but what about the display panel? Did it remain underneath the last corpus surface underneath the motherboard and where the fan is sitting, and the keyboard back lays on it. So what we see is the corpus bottom surface underneath the motherboard, and under it the keyboard is sitting? You do not have to do this, if you want to change the LCD panel, right? Can you unscrew the screws and open the display panel frame as it is attached to its hinges to the main body?
Yes, exactly, just the display panel. But for me and all those who are upgrading from HD to HD+, new LCD cable must be installed. Still complete disassembly isn't necessary.
Thank you for video.I would like to ask you that after replacing the mother board now system ask for the registration of product serial number ! Is there any tool for that ? Kindly provide information related to this Many Thanks
Great video man! I have a question. my 8460p screen has stopped showing anything now after it happened I still heard the computer go on when pressing the power button. I try to connect it to a TV and I couldn't see anything I used to see before. is there a way to change the graphic card on this laptop?
Hi Justin, thanks for instruction I see you have a Lenovo laptop. Is it the Y 510? I could not upgrade from windows 8 to windows 10 (because of missing drivers). Did you manage to upgrade yours? If yes how did you do it? thanks jean
Just curious, have you ever fixed a stuck latch on one of these 8460p's? I would hate to have to take it apart as it is a work laptop. Is there any magic you know to get that lid to open when the latch is defective??
Very informative, however my question would be what if i just wanted to change the whole screen assembly on my hp elitebook 8470p? Do I really have to unscrew all those components? Because to me it seems like al i'd have to do is to unscrew the 4 screws for the hinges and i should be good to go right?
Wilson I just want to swap out the whole screen assembly with the lid etc. My purpose is to replace my whole screen assembly with one with built in webcam.
BlaGGah yeah me too i purchased the laptop and the lid came all scratched up so I wanted to replace it and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to disassemble the whole laptop
Nice video Justin. Can you get to the heat sink and CPU by only removing the bottom cover? I'm thinking of upgrading to an i7-2720QM processor. Thanks -Tim
can we switch the graphic card for a Nvidia or something better than AMD and can we put i7 core on this laptop model (sorry for my english I'm from Montreal)
hello everyone my problem is that my laptop turns on by pushing the browser button present on the uper side of keyboard instead of the power button wat shuld i do now ???
Hi Justin, I just was wondering if you know about the empty slot above the WiFi card, I believe that is a PCIe slot but I not really sure. Do you know what it is? And what can I do with that? Also, do you think that the CPU can be replaced? I think isn't welded into the motherboard. Your video is cool. Sorry for my English.
There is a Little Panel in front of the Button you push for the Monitor to pop up. Behind that is the Bluetooth Card. It is connected via a few small cords similar to the Fan. Just unplug those and as long as it fits your good to go!
Yes. you can use the hdd. The optical drive can be fit with a proper bracket. maybe the wifi card if your motherboard has a port for it. Ram sticks and processor would be only accepted by some very specific motherboards with the same socket. The screen would need a proper controller board and power supply. Speakers? well, someone might be able no make an adapter to use them... If you want to hack you just need some imagination.
samsunglore to reset the BIOS password if you don't know it. it can only be done by HP. since it is a business laptop. contact their business support give them the laptop UUID with ownership proof and they will give you smc.bin file that when put on a USB wipes the password.
Hey, Justin, I notice you haven't answered ANY questions posted here in the last 8 years, so I don't hold out much hope that you'll respond to THIS one, but I'm dealing with a BIOS error situation that THIS guy says if fixable by removing the CMOS battery in my Elitebook 8460p, unselecting a couple of checkboxes in the BIOS setting (F10 on startup), then replacing the battery. (He doesn't say with new or old!) ruclips.net/video/F1YcpMrxJNQ/видео.html Unfortunately, he performs HIS operation on an 8560w, who's BIOS bat. seems much easier to "get at". So, 2 quest- 1. Is there an easy way to just get to the battery (looks like YOU are disemboweling the entire PC before the BIOS bat is exposed. 2. Is there no way to perform what HE'S doing WITHOUT taking out the battery?
you can remove the cmos battery plug by removing the two screws for the speaker. I didn't know this until i already completely took off the entire bottom shell
Hi- thank you for the video. I followed the half way and I just broke a piece of bottom cover.. Anyways, is there anyway that I can clean or change a charger port? My computer stopped charging probably due to coffee that spilled a week ago. It worked fine until a week after. Otherwise, computer worked just fine. Thank you for your time.

Which screws do I remove just to access the CMOS battery? Do I need to take out all the components first?
I think we have to take all the screws and then we reach at CMOS location under the CD location.
Just what I needed. Thanks a lot
The video is great
I just wanted to know what can i do if the second battery socket is loose?
Excellent video - Thank you.
I need to replace the BIOS chip, and was wondering how far I have to disassemble the unit in order to get to it - Also, where the BIOS chip is on the board (I could probably find it when I take it apart, but it would be useful to know beforehand). Thanks

Wilson I just want to swap out the whole screen assembly with the lid etc. My purpose is to replace my whole screen assembly with one with built in webcam.
BlaGGah yeah me too i purchased the laptop and the lid came all scratched up so I wanted to replace it and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to disassemble the whole laptop
Wilson I understand what you mean. I'm a bit OCD. But if it was me I'd just buy a decal sticker skin and put over the lid and call it a day.
If my Elitebook 8460 can't hold a battery connection , how do i fix it?
Nice video Justin. Can you get to the heat sink and CPU by only removing the bottom cover? I'm thinking of upgrading to an i7-2720QM processor. Thanks -Tim

Hi Justin, I just was wondering if you know about the empty slot above the WiFi card, I believe that is a PCIe slot but I not really sure. Do you know what it is? And what can I do with that?
Also, do you think that the CPU can be replaced? I think isn't welded into the motherboard.
Your video is cool. Sorry for my English.
Yes the CPU is replaceable. Need to be a 2nd gen i3/i5/i7 though.
Yes, that is a PCI Port, not sure if you can use a PCI SSD in it though
Stockholms Oskar that is great, thank you
Where's the Intel graphics card..?
Intel doesn't make graphics cards
in the processor
I just got this laptop refurbished but the sound comes out like the speaker is busted...can that be fixed?
yes
yes
Where was the GPU? I know I might sound stupid or something but I want to replace it. I do have the same Model.
embedded into the cpu
Tomás Buenaventura thanks. that makes things harder but there are always eGPU's
Jhonforge_Gaming there is no dedicated GPU in these usually, never seen on with dedicated graphics
Tomás Buenaventura alrighty well thanks for the help
Thank you so much. Very clear and understandably video. Gosh lfe saver. loollll
where is the socket Bluetooth?. I have a Bluetooth card from HP 8440P
There is a Little Panel in front of the Button you push for the Monitor to pop up. Behind that is the Bluetooth Card. It is connected via a few small cords similar to the Fan. Just unplug those and as long as it fits your good to go!
A sudden noisy sound occur to heats sink portion what was the matter
Please help???
😐😐😐
Can I put SOME of these parts into a Desktop?
Yes. you can use the hdd.
The optical drive can be fit with a proper bracket.
maybe the wifi card if your motherboard has a port for it.
Ram sticks and processor would be only accepted by some very specific motherboards with the same socket.
The screen would need a proper controller board and power supply.
Speakers? well, someone might be able no make an adapter to use them... If you want to hack you just need some imagination.
hi can u plz tell me is it possible to upgrade the graphic card for this model and is it bultin type or not
it possible if it had nvidia card
Justin, is it possible to upgrade the cpu on the computer

robert henthorne Yes.Just make sure that you get one that fits your socket, and one that is compatible with the motherboard!
+robert henthorne Changed my i5 for a i7-2630qm and it runs much faster!

Nice video!
I have been searching about this notebook, does anyone here know if there is any difference from the case of the 8460p to the 8470p?
The 8460p and 8460w are the same case. No mothers are the same.
How come down idm computer
Dud this video was awesome but I have a problem over her
Bam!

Sonofabitch! I have to do all that just to replace the cmos rtc battery? I think it might be time to just buy a new cheap laptop.
you can remove the cmos battery plug by removing the two screws for the speaker. I didn't know this until i already completely took off the entire bottom shell
Thanks for the heads up!
Was also looking for this. Thanks for the time saver!
Hi- thank you for the video. I followed the half way and I just broke a piece of bottom cover.. Anyways, is there anyway that I can clean or change a charger port? My computer stopped charging probably due to coffee that spilled a week ago. It worked fine until a week after. Otherwise, computer worked just fine. Thank you for your time.
