I've been working on computers since 92ish. I've taken down hundreds of laptops to the bare components. I've built monster gaming machines, load bearing servers, gamers on a budget, workstations, full desktops that pull under 20 watts so that they can run on a cigarette lighter adapter in an airplane for aerial photography. I built modular wireless systems for long range wireless and use that to serve over 2500 sq miles high speed Internet in the boonies as well as every customer unit. I've built carburetors, engines, every component in a car aside from a transmission and differential from the base components. I've designed 400hp engines on a budget, tuned similar engines to get 24mpg with a carb in a classic car. I've spent two hours trying to get my wife's laptop apart so I can swap the wireless card and upgrade the RAM. Thank you for this video. I absolutely *hate* this computer.
This 7 year old video is timeless! I had to replace the fan and upgrade the RAM on my laptop and was very sceptical about doing it. Your video thoroughly helped me navigate each part. Thankful to you man!
What fan did you use? Grandmother got me this when it came out and it was supposed to be knew. Finally took it apart after having it sitting around gathering dust for years only to find that it has no fan in it in the top left where it is supposed to be at. I’m new to this stuff and don’t want to order the wrong one.
Thanks so much for this video! Decided that I would be a super nice guy, and upgrade my sister-in-law's old, slow HP 15-g073nr laptop, from 4gb to 8gb, and started trying to disassemble this monstrosity, before even confirming that I had the memory on-hand. :-D Thankfully I did, and, also thankfully, I found your video. I have worked on numerous laptops in my 35+ years in the biz, and this is one of the worst designed that I have had the displeasure of messing with. Whatever idiot thought that you should have to, practically, pull the whole thing apart, just to replace / upgrade the hard drive and memory (which was even worse), should be kicked in their most tender spots with full, brute force. There is a special, extra-hot place awaiting them in the after-life. LOL! Over 5 years since you posted this video, and you're still helping folks.
@Moh Amed I only worked on it one time over a year ago, so I didn't remember. However, at the 6:50 mark in the video, he shows the board, and it only takes 1 stick of memory.
You're a life saver my dude. I have never opened a laptop before, but I saw some other laptops and had a vague strategy I would use. I had to change strategy because you can't lift the back off like with the others over seen. I had eventually loosened every clip, but couldn't get the palm rest off. If it weren't for you showing that you had to disconnect the keyboard, I would have never gotten to the hard drive. Thank you for breathing new life into this machine!
Yes! Yeees! Yeeeeesssss! Great video! This is the first video I found where I can see how to disassembly my HP 15r209nl laptop. HP sells the same case with hundreds of different names, and is difficult to find the exact video you need. After 2 years of research, I found this video, so I could change the hdd: the original one was terribly slow, at the start up is 100% occupied for more than 3 minutes. Now I can boot Windows 10 in less than 20 seconds (typing password included) and Ubuntu in nearly half the time. Thanks to your video I did not forgot any screw and was able to change the hdd with a ssd in a little more than 20 minutes. I spend 1 day to be able to make a dual boot working, but this is another story.
Thank goodness I found this video. I was upgrading the old(slow) hard drive to an SSD for a friend. Done loads for other people, but this was the most difficult to actually get to the hard drive. What a dreadful design HP! Basics like the hard drive and RAM chips should be easy to get to. On this thing, it's easier to replace the keyboard. In terms of user friendlyness for the owner to be able to upgrade/repair, this laptop, it's on a par with something Apple would proud of. Got to say that even with a SSD inside, it still doesn't break any speed records. If you have one of these, I'd say replace rather than repair/upgrade.
Just did one for a friend, god damn these laptops are a pain in the arse, my friend was looking at me like “does he really know what he’s doing?” I was like “it’s just this one all the others I’ve done have gone smoothly” not sure she believed me lol
well this was most helpfull, a fire destoryed our home last month and my hp notebook 15 was burnt, well it still worked, i decided to remove the hard drive and ram,but ran into problems trying to open it up, , but now this video has helped me
Taken many laptops apart, I reached the point when the screws were out and the center was not budging. YOUR video showed the keyboard removal and viola. Thanks
Great! I've historically taken all my laptops apart to upgrade but was really struggling with this one. They make them harder these days! Very helpful vid. All sorted now. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. All the others did not show the keyboard covering screws. The fan went out on my wife's laptop and I needed to fix it. She passed of covid and our memories are on it.
Thankyou so so much bro...... I have exactly same model and hence was able to repair myself.... Else it would have been tough during this lockdown period
@@DD-101 had to buy a new laptop, i think i didnt attach the battery connector correctly and was pissing me off. Go for an acer bro less hassle hahaha hps suck
@@silverjay4455 Yeh had a few and they do suck!! for plenty of reasons too! Got a couple to upgrade the hard drives to ssd and was considering the thermal paste job at the same time... they have to be taken apart anyway!! fingers crossed.. will be considering acer and others when its time for a new one. Cheers
thanks on the rundown! I was so confused when I unscrewed all the bottom screws and nothing budged. Of course they would make this as anti-serviceable as possible. I basically broke 40% of the tabs on the top plate but idc, it's going to be my beater laptop anyway!
I have this exact laptop. Except mine doesn’t use a fan. Thanks for helping me take it apart. Wish I would have watched this video before guessing the bottom comes off. Just waiting for the ram to comes in the mail as I bought two separate 4gb ones instead of a single 8gb on accident. I’m hoping the motherboard can handle it. I’m unsure about it. Great time to clean all the dust and dirt off. I get great anxiety that once I put it al together it won’t work again. Haha
This helped a lot. Thank you! There were several "tricks"... (1) pull out the optical drive using mild force (2) two smalls screws under the optical drive needed to be removed and (3) the keyboard just clicks off ... without your video I would have given up.
Thanks! I have a few HP 15’s and was having difficulty since I’m use to newer models where the back plate comes off not the top. I instantly stopped when I open it and the keyboard shook lose 😅 that’s when I figured it was different and this video was a life saver!
yea i have that laptop 1 of the worst hardware designs , u shoudl've seen the battery holders ffs i thought it was broken at 1st , until i saw a utube vid where the guys says it's actually purposly made like that
I am planning to see if I can revive a similar machine of mine. It needs the hard drive just chucked and probably the APU repasted. So that will be an adventure and a half lmao
got this pc for free by an pc fix and repair shop that gave up on it xD now i understand why... i wanted to upgrade the ram on it but nvm. yeah i could do it but its easier to just wipe the damn thing, put a sshd in it and then run linux on it. gonna give it to my uncle for christmas, i hope he will be happy
@@winstonlight5019 I'd throw it too, but would like to pull out the HDD, so still need to disassemble it. Then will put an 18$ SSD, clean install of Windows, and see how it runs. Too bad upgrading the memory is too much pain for me to handle.
@@winstonlight5019 I bought this computer about 5 years ago for about 300$ (meaning super cheap) to bring with me when I travel, to connect to the TV in the hotel room, to play youtube and movies, and it did fine for that.

I'm thinking a fresh windows install will rejuvenate it, and an SSD should make it faster than when it was new. Hope it can serve me one more vacation. But man - that design... Did they do it on purpose? Maybe we could get to the memory module by cutting through the bottom with Dremel? :)
Thanks a lot. You helped me (not to disassemble the laptop but to decide that it's not worth it). Mine already has 8gb ram and an SSD so will work just fine for the next years(It'll be nice to have 16Gigs of ram and to put a better ssd inside). Never buying an HP in the future.

Toshibas and Dells are a piece of cake. These hp's belong in a dumpster. Acers are easy to work on.... Now Asus- they belong in the dumpster with the hp's.
terrible design: they do not want you to change that horrible and slow hdd they put inside. If you open (HP call center told me), you lose any warranty. Do not open it. I'm not going to buy an HP notebook again. Oh, yes, this kind of laptop, has also a very unconfortable keyboard. (especially arrows, are difficult to find, if you do not look at them)
HP Notebook - 15-r110na (ENERGY STAR) - sadly my version has no fan but what is really odd, HP has placed a foam type of material at the end of the HS so it blocks the air vents on the left side.

Hello. This model is Model: 15-G011SQ? I tried to upgrade on ssd, to this hdd, but i do not have to dissansamble, that model? I have a question. I have during upgrade on ssd, in location to Dvd/RW?. Have work detection to Bios, on this place on SSD, into place on dvd/rw.. Thanks for your video And wait to answer my question! Traian on Romania🤗
TP connector broke while following the remove keyboard tray portion. Some voice audio warnings would have helped. My instincts told me to just install lightweight Linux distro as this will never run Windows 10 well, even with upgrade to SSD; I should have listened.
You just need to get it where the motherboard you can look under it to slide to ram in. Not difficult at all just be careful. I broke one screw slot off. Somehow somewhere lol
it does not. You can get an adapter but the problem is the chips on the M2 drive will sit upside down working together with the board to generate some real heat. These run hot anyway, but all in all I have had 3 of them and they suit all my needs.
Its hot glued in place or some sort of clear glue on the corners of the chip, you can heat up the glue and pull it off. However since there is nothing to control the processor from moving you would have to glue it back on afterward.
@@pxpin89 Also are you 100% sure for 15 r254nu, bcuz i had 8 by default, currently 4gb, i wanna be concrete sure without opening up the laptop first to check if i should order an 8 gig and replace or one more 4 gig.
ναι man. I got the answer from hp's forum the whole HP 15-g2xx series has 1 customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slot Supports single-channel memory DDR3L-1600-MHz Single Channel Support DDR3L-1333-MHz Single Channel Support (DDR3-1600 downgrade to DDR3-1333) Supports up to 8 GB of system RAM in the following configurations: ● 8192-MB total system memory (8192×1) ● 4096-MB total system memory (4096×1) ● 2048-MB total system memory (2048×1)
Yes it does support an 8gb ram module. I have a ripjaws Gskill module, its a REAL pain to get it in... take your time on the keyboard disasebling. You can easily rip the flat cables (cant remember technical name) or they pop out of the adapter. I have replaced the RAM in 3 of these. Good little runners. I plan on adding a SSD. Not an M.2 unless they have changed the direction the chips set. They sit upside down and the heat from the board and the drive may get too hot. A regular SSD is where I plan to go. Hope this helps!
Like ten minutes ago I was about to tear this apart thinking it would just be like any other laptop, I ain't gonna be upgrading this mess, sell it to some ebay buyer for like £100

Question: Will I have to take off the keyboard in order to change the RAM in this laptop?
yes, in fact you need to disassembly the whole computer! :(
Including the mother board
You just need to get it where the motherboard you can look under it to slide to ram in. Not difficult at all just be careful. I broke one screw slot off. Somehow somewhere lol
does anyone know what that tool is called that he uses from 1:36
anyone know the ram speeds of the ram in this laptop
did it have only one memory card slot ?!
Yup, basic HP junk. Mine was slowish right out of the box too!
Can anyone tell me if this laptop has a m.2 port for adding a ssd?
From the video i cant figure out if it has one.
it does not. You can get an adapter but the problem is the chips on the M2 drive will sit upside down working together with the board to generate some real heat. These run hot anyway, but all in all I have had 3 of them and they suit all my needs.
Does anyone know if you can upgrade the processor? Is it socketed or soldered to the motherboard?
Its hot glued in place or some sort of clear glue on the corners of the chip, you can heat up the glue and pull it off. However since there is nothing to control the processor from moving you would have to glue it back on afterward.

@@pablogomez8236 yeah once I saw how old the comment was I figured the answer came way too late :)

For my hp 15-g200nv it works. Unfortunately my ram got one socket. Does anybody know if it supports 8gb ram?
Did you find out ? I want to change the ran as well
ναι man. I got the answer from hp's forum
the whole HP 15-g2xx series has
1 customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slot
Supports single-channel memory
DDR3L-1600-MHz Single Channel Support
DDR3L-1333-MHz Single Channel Support (DDR3-1600 downgrade to DDR3-1333)
Supports up to 8 GB of system RAM in the following configurations:
● 8192-MB total system memory (8192×1)
● 4096-MB total system memory (4096×1)
● 2048-MB total system memory (2048×1)
Ευχαριστώ φίλε, να σε καλά
Yes it does support an 8gb ram module. I have a ripjaws Gskill module, its a REAL pain to get it in... take your time on the keyboard disasebling. You can easily rip the flat cables (cant remember technical name) or they pop out of the adapter. I have replaced the RAM in 3 of these. Good little runners. I plan on adding a SSD. Not an M.2 unless they have changed the direction the chips set. They sit upside down and the heat from the board and the drive may get too hot. A regular SSD is where I plan to go. Hope this helps!
I got to the keyboard removal and the ribbon will not detach....and the next ribbon removed, the very tiny connector....how????
What minute ram?
7:19
I need motherboard of hp model 15-r229nx.....
It's impressive how horribly designed this laptop is. Wouldn't have figured it out without your help. Cheers
Is the processor upgradable?
probably soldered.
Glued apparently
Mine didn't even have a fan in it!
Like ten minutes ago I was about to tear this apart thinking it would just be like any other laptop, I ain't gonna be upgrading this mess, sell it to some ebay buyer for like £100
Where is the memory ram placed?
After 5:30 on the underside of the motherboard, light green part
