My laptop was constantly overheating due to the massive buildup of crud in the fan unit. Thank you immensely for posting this video so that I could clean everything out. Seems to be running good again!
My daughter spilled a cup of hot chocolate on her laptop and the computer was dead, so I thought. I found this video on you tube. I had to completely dismantle the laptop with many stops along the way for chocolate cleanup on different components and connections. Excellent step by step video my friend. Thank you for posting this. Her Computer is back online and working well. We got lucky! your video saved her a lot of money. Thanks again!
Tried doing this on my own and almost gave up. Found your video and made it through! thanks so much for making this video helping people like us out. Laptop is like 30 degrees cooler after cleaning it.
Great video. Completely clear and easy to follow with no rambling or other nonsense. Never would have figured this out on my own. Cooling fins were 99% blocked on the inlet side. Flows great and quite now, runs cool, no more 90C core temps. Thanks!
I want to thank you for this video. I have this laptop and have never cleaned it before today. My fan stopped working so I fortunately downloaded this video some time ago and was able to follow along while I took it apart and cleaned it. I need a new fan but at least now my laptop is running again thanks to you. God bless and keep doing these videos.
You would think they could have a replaceable/cleanable air filter that is accessible from the out side. But nooo one must dissemble the entire thing just to do simple maintenance of the air intake. Just want to thank you for posting. This was extremely helpful.
just went through and did this to my hp pavillion 17.3". i had a HUGE gob of dust near my internal fan so i was happy to get that out. fan is running practically ice cold now! thank you SO much for this, im glad i was able to do this myself and not take it to someone who wouldve wanted $$$ to do an hours work.
Great video, helpful, concise, accurate and no time wasting. Well done. My laptop is clean inside and out (with one extra left over screw and one lost screw in the couch lol)
To everyone doubting their own abilities to do this - just try. I had zero prior knowledge, borrowed my father's screwdrivers and it worked like a charm. I did not disassemble all cables, some required me to use a lot of force which I was scared to do. It still worked, I just could not move the mainboard as freely.
Me too, I started opening my lap top but with the video with the wiring connections which I might not be able to connect properly, I just have it done by the technician.......
Thank you so much. You saved my cpu from constantly oberheating. An me from spending money on an new laptop. Also i enjoyed doing the disassembly an seeing by myself how it looks inside. Thank you
This was easy. Thanks a lot. Didn't even replace any parts, but couldn't see my fan from how dusty it was... 😂 It was plugged but works fine now. Cheers!
Yesterday i dropped coffee on my e-002sg... I repaired the touchpad myself... I'm so happy with that.. really, everything is still working, after 20 months,,, and notebook is not overheating,,, than other notebooks i had...
Thank you very much for your great video. I just needed to replace the motherboard battery. And for that, you have to disassemble the motherboard. So without you, I would be really in trouble. Thanks again.
Great video have this exact model, used this video to upgrade the CPU from a lackluster A6 dual core to an A8 quad core, thanks to the detailed video was able to disassemble, swap the cpu, and reassemble with ease, looks like I never touched it!
THANKS! I couldn't get the bottom cover piece off by prying upwards (as I usually do), but as you show in the video - it slides sideways. I've fixed hundreds of laptops but never seen one come apart in that manner. Thanks for setting me straight! I also agree with "eNikita" - very poor design by HP making the fan only accessible by disassembling the entire laptop instead of just removing one cover flap. Manufacturers are purposefully making repairs as difficult as possible just to sell a few more computers - a very shitty way to treat customers that have purchased your product.
Ha ha! I hope I NEVER have to clean my fan. Buying a new laptop seems MUCH easier. WHY do they make it SO HARD to get to?! I would not have the patience for this and I'm a VERY patient person. Excellent video, by the way! Deserves ALL thumbs ups. 👍🏻
One suggestion-- instead of pushing the keyboard through that screw hole (which could damage the F9 key!), there is a keyboard release port where a blunter object could be used. well done though, extremely helpful! :)
there is a place on the left side of the opened back door where you are supposed to use your FINGER to push out the optical drive and keyboard. push left, that pushes out the optical drive. push down, it pushes the keyboard. it has the optical drive (dvd like symbol), and keyboard next to the hole with arrows. this works of course after you have removed all of the screws that correspond to that icon.
thank you for this video. i had everything unscrewed but could not figure out the keyboard part, it looks like it is all one piece on top. i could tell from the bottom markings that that was the keyboard release and screws, but didnt want to push it and break it. was able to do it once i knew it WAS a separate piece and that it comes out. that was what i needed, the three screws under the keyboard to get the top bezel piece off. i only needed to replace my LAN/USB combo that attaches with the ribbon on the right. got it done, blew some compressed air, while i was in there, into the fan. THANK YOU! had to replace the Wifi card too, but that was a piece of cake.
i decidednot to do it at min 4 but but stayed til the end because after all i though to myself that laptop wouldnt start up and at the end of the vid you blown my mind lmao
Two screw sizes is great (the larger screws in the cover and the smaller ones in the cd bay and battery slot) .....and 20 mins from start to finish. Very helpful video. Reminded me to remove the keyboard first....Thanks can also include Model 17 e009wm
Thanks so much man! this saved my butt. i do think it was a stupid design not to have a more accessable fan so you could just pop off the vent and pull the 1/4 inch layer of dust off once in a while. Anyway thank you for making the video!
Stupidest laptop design ever. Just to clean a fan I have to disassemble the whole fucking thing and take out motherboard. Instead of making the damn thing accessible from the back side, like a normal laptop. Never buying HP again
For real. I have to make several fixes/adjustments to this thing and it's an absolute fucking nightmare. This laptop has caused me so much stress since I bought it. Looking into Sager Notebooks, I'm really interested in their products and they look like they're built pretty intuitively.
eNikita I like their computers, I still have one from the 2000's, but no, I agree, the design inside is terrible. It's like destroying a pc rather than building one.
favorite part was the ending, where you say "you are performing this repair at your own risk!" just in case someone fucked it up. Lmfao. Great video though, very clear , easy to follow
You can clean the fan with distilled water, or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. I've cleaned a few really dirty and clogged fans under running sink water before - it worked great, but I put a very tiny dab of grease on the center pin to optimize performance and reduce noise.
Thanks for helping me through one of the biggest pains in the ass ever. This laptop's design is horrible, I would've never thought to pop out the keyboard just to get the case open. Not to mention the million and 2 screws.
Thanks, I didn't dare to open mine and broke something. I had power issue which was only due to probably dirty contacts, but I used opportunity to disassemble everything.
I am stupid lol on the keyboard connector to the mother board I tore off the front one instead of opening from the back and it bend the conduits and tore it off the board but now I use a external keyboard and it works ok thanks for the good video man.
Thank you very much. Great video. It was super easy to clean my fan out, now lets hope it stops over heating. But at least i know what video to watch if i need to replace it. 2 questions: 1. Is there only 1 fan for the entire thing, i didn't see any other. 2. what should the RPM's be if a game is playing?
This was so fun, everything seemed normal in the laptop very minimum amount of dust and so on but cleaned all up! I started my laptop and saw the hp but not the windows logo I started sweating lol then the updating screen popped up feww...
When pulling off the plastic cover surrounding the keyboard, it gets very hard to pull around the left side of the left click button and I'm not sure if I've taken everything apart right, or do I just pull harder?
You are awesome I did everything you make and fan now working very smoothly and quite but I have one problem some buttons on keyboard is not working may I know the reason
Keyboard was the hardest to remove. I finally got a credit card under the edge and moved it along to release the snaps. After that it was straight forward.
Bus a Samsung 850 Evo or better 500gb ssd, you will be happy you did. Hope you backed up or your drive is still working. The cloning software Samsung provides is great..
I have a HP Pavilion 17-E051SH laptop. Notice that you don't have to remove the keyboard this way. Remove the optical drive and the WLAN card. Under them there are quite large holes. Pressing those holes with a finger makes much easier and safe to remove the keyboard.

Thank you my computer was full of dust. But now I can feel the airflow running. You saved me some money by showing this video. Very helpfull video.
Tnank you. It really helped me a lot. I found huge chunks of dust, removed it and now the laptop is ice cold.
Great video - The putting back together part was very helpful - no left over screws!!!!!!
Great video, helpful, concise, accurate and no time wasting. Well done. My laptop is clean inside and out (with one extra left over screw and one lost screw in the couch lol)
Same here
Thanks a lot dude! Your video was exactly what we needed to cure our PC nightmare!

Thank you so much. You saved my cpu from constantly oberheating. An me from spending money on an new laptop. Also i enjoyed doing the disassembly an seeing by myself how it looks inside. Thank you
So, so incredibly helpful! Managed to disassemble and reassemble my laptop with minimal issues. Thank you!
I am waiting for my new fan to come in. So far, your video has been a life saver. Thank you.
This was easy. Thanks a lot. Didn't even replace any parts, but couldn't see my fan from how dusty it was... 😂 It was plugged but works fine now. Cheers!
I purchased a high quality fan to replace that junk they had in there..
Yesterday i dropped coffee on my e-002sg... I repaired the touchpad myself... I'm so happy with that.. really, everything is still working, after 20 months,,, and notebook is not overheating,,, than other notebooks i had...

There was so much dust in my fan 😂 great video! Now my laptop won’t act like it’s flying off!
😂😂😂
Thank you. I cleaned the fan and loved the work. All steps are well captured. Keep doing good work.
Thank you so much by this video! I was having trouble opening up because of the 3 hidden screws behind the keyboard! Great work and thank you again!
Great video have this exact model, used this video to upgrade the CPU from a lackluster A6 dual core to an A8 quad core, thanks to the detailed video was able to disassemble, swap the cpu, and reassemble with ease, looks like I never touched it!
I don't know much about laptop's compared to desktops. I didn't know I could replace the processor. thank you. I've been wondering if I could.
I have an A4 can I upgrade in this case?
It took me like 2 hours but l did it 🙏🏼 thx for the video. Really helpful
Very nice and precise video of how to open laptop and clean the fan

Amazing!!! THANKS MAN WORKED PERFECTLY..ONE LOVE FROM ALGERIA 🇩🇿💚❤️
It's a nice PC right have it since 2017, dz passed from here 😅🇩🇿

I hate how I need to open EVERYTHING to just clean it. Argh
same lmao
Dude...yess....thank you!!! Was just my dirty fan that was noisy. Thnku thnku

mash107 located beneath the WLAN card btw

I haven't turned it on yet, so I don't know if I did it right, I am forever grateful to you! :)
Perfect, this helped me so much! Thank you!
Really bad design from hp that this is needed.. maybe it's wanted so they can offer repairs.
Absurdly difficult for a fan. Thanks for the video....got it done!!
thank you for this video. i had everything unscrewed but could not figure out the keyboard part, it looks like it is all one piece on top. i could tell from the bottom markings that that was the keyboard release and screws, but didnt want to push it and break it.

got it done, blew some compressed air, while i was in there, into the fan.
THANK YOU!
had to replace the Wifi card too, but that was a piece of cake.
Well done. Especially also how u move the camera to show exactly what needs to be done and where. ty.
I did mine while wat hing your video! Thank you man thats easy like 45 dollars if i take it to a place to let somebody else do it for me
Sometimes more, because those guys make shit up...
Thank you for such a helpful video. I followed it step-by-step!
(1) Thank-you for this video! (2) HP - give your design team a collective head shake; this customer won't be returning.
Wow.... so many screws... screw this...
a lot of screw's but only 2 different sizes, overall disassembly was easy just time consuming. reassembling only took 15 minutes or so

Best video online. You saved me money. Thank you!
The only video that really did help....thanks mate
i decidednot to do it at min 4 but but stayed til the end because after all i though to myself that laptop wouldnt start up and at the end of the vid you blown my mind lmao
দারুন, কাজ হয়েছে। Thx now problem solved. thx once again.
It looks very difficult:( but when you start you see that it is not such difficult. Thank you for the video...
Two screw sizes is great (the larger screws in the cover and the smaller ones in the cd bay and battery slot) .....and 20 mins from start to finish. Very helpful video. Reminded me to remove the keyboard first....Thanks can also include Model 17 e009wm

Geat vid, helped me tons so clicked on a couple ads for ya. Cheers!
Vielen , vielen Dank . Mein Laptop läuft wieder.
Thanks, I just saved my 500 bucks.
So cleaning it with water is a bad idea?
You can clean the fan with distilled water, or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. I've cleaned a few really dirty and clogged fans under running sink water before - it worked great, but I put a very tiny dab of grease on the center pin to optimize performance and reduce noise.
Nah man, you should just pour some water inside your laptop and hope for the best
Very very helpful. Wonder how many screws I'll have left over?
Tremendous video thank you! Was able to give my relatives an accurate repair estimate thanks to this.
Wow, that's a lot of screws compared to Lenovo Thinkpads. Great and helpful video nevertheless!
Thanks for helping me through one of the biggest pains in the ass ever. This laptop's design is horrible, I would've never thought to pop out the keyboard just to get the case open. Not to mention the million and 2 screws.

waooo great video
just followed this vidwo and repaired my laptop fan thanx alot
Thanks, this helped fix a problem with my power jack.
Thank you so much man, this is very helpful video!
The tab that you used to take out the connector at about 7:10 in the video broke off for me. Is there any way i can still remove the connector?
Russell McVay yh same for me, feed back will be appricated
Yeah u can use your hands and pinch the sides
I tried it
I am stupid lol on the keyboard connector to the mother board I tore off the front one instead of opening from the back and it bend the conduits and tore it off the board but now I use a external keyboard and it works ok thanks for the good video man.

I followed your exact steps. It was great until the end, where you out three screws.
I suppose it does run well, I'd give this 6 out of 10 stars.
Thanks for this, I didnt know how to remove the back plate or the hard drive lols; need a replacement heoyea
good video!! thanks keep up the good work!

wow I would love to have the fan cleaned out on my HP pavilion 17. but to afraid to do myself how much do they charge to have it done...
You are amazing brother.....
You are excellent...
Bruh!!! You are awesome for this!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Very helpful thank you so much!
Kann man bei diesem Modell den Prozessor wechseln, oder ist er fest mit der Platine verlötet?
Thanks! That's a big help!
Thanks I did the same service, including cmos battery change

std661 actually just the WLAN there is a large hole called keyboard release that I can push with your thumb then continue like normal
you are a lifesaver!! thanx
thank you for helping 🙏🙏
Thanks so much, this video is really helpful
Thanks for the video. I still hear mine running but it's much quiter.
Its the cpu temps you should be concerned about, that will cause your CPU to throttle and slow down your computer..
