THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS. A couple notes to people watching. He missed one critical screw around 5:38. You have to loosen a Phillips screw in the top right corner of fan buried UNDER the wires. There's another video "HP EliteBook 8540w fan and heatsink replacement removal" that shows what I am talking about. Hopefully its still around. I have 8540w too but my fan was slightly different than his and I couldn't figure out how to take it apart. Also, take your time putting on the smaller cable for keyboard. The little white connector falls off very easily or at least it did for me.
what did you upgrade from and to. I am Attempting to do the same. I am trying to go from an i5 560m to an i7 640m or, if possible an i7 840qm. The 640m looks like a sure thing, but I'm not sure about the 840qm. I love this laptop so much, even as old as it is. You could drive a nail with this case if you had to, and even this i5 is really fast with Linux on it.
Thanks for the video. I performed this operarion on my elitebook 8540p, but now it does not properly start up: the fan makes some loud noise and the computer shuts down on its own about 10 seconds into boot. Any suggestion on how to fix that ? Thanks !
Es gibt einen kleinen Trick. Die Tastatur anheben und mit Druckluft durch die Kühlrippen von Hinten sauber pusten. Voila, und der Laptop wird nicht mehr heiß.

George Heynen cheers for that. :)
Thanks man, that helped. I also have a bit different attachment than the one in this video, the one that you describe.
Thanks for that hint. How I struggled with that...
Just upgraded my CPU and GPU thanks to you guys! One of the more tricky machines I've dealt with. You guys rock!

I found the solution: I just had to (properly) apply the thermal paste.
thank you
hi i need tutorial to disassemble the main DVD driver of this laptop could you please send it to me ??
Thanks a lot
Very helpful
witch screwdriver do you use ?? T9 or t8
Me ha servido muy bien. Muchas gracias camarada
Tienes ese modelo?
Where's the CMOS battery? I have to change it and I don't find it..😢
Its under the bottom panel with the RAM.
do you have to remove the screws on the back to remove the fan?
Yes, unles you can do with keyboard in place
Can i just replace the fan and not take out the heat sink?
yes you can but be sure to remove the black tape
Red4team4two Tio ok still haven't had time to do this but i will, thanks for your time. Enjoy the New Year hopefully~
Can I connect without the thermal paste
No! You need to use thermal paste when you cleaning the laptop
Yes you can; and the CPU and graphics card will overheat very quickly and destroy itself. :)
Yeah but ONLY if you would rather use a thermal pad. Otherwise it'll fry.
I got cut by the fan by not using the proper tools :(
AllVideosHere but did you die?
