- How to fully disassemble the Dell Latitude E7450 or E5450 to replace the thermal paste on it. Although cleaning just the fan is easy, but in order to get to the heatsink in order to replace the thermal paste, you have to fully tear it down.

I just gently bent back the heat sink to have enough room to use cotton swabs with alcohol to clean the old paste (it was hard and smeared all over). Once cleaned, I added new paste and pushed it back flat to insure good contact and held it there while reinstalling the 4 screws that hold it. Took 10 minutes at most, and laptop runs great again.
Thanks for the video, though. I used it as a guide to replace one of the speakers, which required a lot of the teardown you showed!
Great.. can you please make video how you would did it.. 😊
I used to have EliteBook and replacing bigger things like: ram, speakers, CMOS Bat. Thermal paste and stuff like that was just a manner of seconds. Just slide the back door, just like this dell, but unlike it, almost everything was coverless.
Just as an fyI to anyone else who does this - I totally did cut the little piece blocking the heatsink from coming out - and it worked beautifully. Do so at your own risk, but I used a small pair of metal snips and everything came out pretty easily
Cool, I will try that this week. My Dell is 6 years old and is my backup laptop now. I only live once.
@@bobbyshen7826 Well if it helps you, it's been 2 months and it's still running perfectly. Best of luck!
Thank you for this idea! I just did the whole job in a few minutes. Absolutely no reason for the full disassembly. I cant see how cutting that little bit out, would have detrimental effects.
I did the same and it works great :) no need to get cancer for basic fan cleaning and applying thermal paste...
I want to try this too -- which little piece blocking the heatsink??? The part on the case, or the mainboard?
I'm having trouble figuring out where to cut, exactly but this laptop needs saving.
Thanks in advance!!
This worked for me. I put my screws and bits into an ice cube tray as I went along so that replacing them in sequence wasn't too painful. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
I had to replace the thermal paste on this. I hate the plastic cover that's blocking the fan and heat sink you can't just replace easily. You have to take out the entire frame lol! It's literally a Dell repair techs nightmare.
Hey cant i just cutt of that part which blocks from pulling out
Geez I'd rather just cut that piece of metal blocking the heatsink than go through all of that. What the hell were the people at Dell thinking?
Hahaha even though I do for living, I found it tedious!
Work with enough Dell Laptops you’ll realize they don’t do much thinking to begin with
Older Dell lappys used to be ok to service, nearly as easy as Toshibas. Wouldn't take this job on though. It used to be their consumer-grade stuff which weren't designed for servicing, not the business-grade stuff
Is there a video about the reassembly process? Because there's no way i could do that on my own
Good video!
Glad you enjoyed it
thank you so much man, btw i didnt skip the 2 minute ad!
Haha thanks for that and glad you liked it :)
I did too, turned the spkrs off & made a cup of tea 🙂
Does anyone have tips on how to remove the cable he removed at 2:40 because he was covering it with his hands and it wasn't clear to me
Did this make a difference, i've read this model had problems with the heatsink and that one of the chips should actually not touch the heatsink for better cooling which seems insane but is the official dell recommendation, does your laptop feels hot on the fan side after this?
I cant seem to get the WiFi module out, i think its glued to the mobo... is there some mechanism holding it like with RAM or should i just pull?
Nice professional toolset. I would not let this boso work on a tractor not to mention on a laptop. Looks like he never heard of ESD or torque 🤷♂️
Can I add an additional hard
Bro i have same laptop but mu touch pad buttons not work and also when i tap on touchpad my click does not
respond.
Hello, 1:16, what is the next part? Is that a Bluetooth modul or something? Is That connecting to touch screen?
u know why this msata caddy is not recognized in any other systems?tnx
Yep, I tried on my desk, can't read it
I need ur help
So did going through all that and adding new thermal paste make a difference???
From experience with other PC's - yes usually.
Good video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Can i clean the fan from that laptop with a vacuum cleaner
Yes, just make sure to disconnect it from the mobo or it will put some not-so-healthy voltage into the mobo

hi thanks for the video, i have a question, if you just want to change the thermal paste? is it must/necessary to fully disassemble the laptop?
Нет😆
I don't think that poor laptop gonna work ever again 😂😂😂
Can use sim card on it?
Well you can use an SD card in it, havent tried with a SIM but its the same size. The port is on the left.
Wow I have already given up
