Link to Part 1: www.youtube.com I show you how to completely disassemble a HP DV7 Series Notebook Computer. The computer was given to me with a suspected bad motherboard. This guide can be used for all of the HP DV7, DV6, and G-Series notebooks built and sold from September 2007 to roughly April 2009. The video series is a six part series that shows even individual component teardown and proper removal of case pieces without damage. I own the rights to this video as it was filmed by me. I am not responsible for any damage you do to you own personal laptop as a result of the use or misuse of this video material.

For the third and final time “I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE USE OR MISUSE OF THE CONTENT PROVIDED IN THE VIDEOS” Please excuse the video quality as it was filmed with a Motorola Droid with the flash set to always on, so parts can be blurry.Since I also do not have a mount for it, the video tends to wander in some scenes.

I have a hp? pavilion dv6-1240us laptop.. And it stopped working on me.. When i turned on my laptop.. It just stayed on to the intel screen and it went black screen for a min.. And thats it i couldnt get in my comp.. I have a question XD is it due to my harddrive? Do i need to replace my harddrive then.. Because when my computer tried to do a scan check on my hard drive.. It wont load up.. It couldnt scan it.. Basically failing the test scan XD i need help please!
@Uzumwaki @Uzumwaki Sorry to hear that? your HP shuts off after watching the video. is that when removing the fan assembly to clean it, they forget to plug the tiny connector back in that powers the fan. This causes rapid heating of the CPU and also causes the BIOS in some systems to shut it down before the PC has a chance to boot. My advise, go back and recheck all your connections, screw locations, etc. Best of luck
Thanks a lot for this. Really nice despite the issues with the camera. I now realise HP generally have very poor design for their products, rather design meant to ensure their customers have to keep buying stuff from them, due to failure of? older stuff or creating unnecessary need eg printer colour catridges… Generally HP suck! Anyway, now my laptop keeps turning itself off after cleaning it using this method. Damn! But at least I managed to reassemble the piece of $#!t. Dustbin.
@XevilangleX While the processor can be upgraded? in these computers, the graphics card, unfortunately,can’t be.
Im a. Gamer lol a laptop gamer i got everything u got but in good condition? same processor and graphics im here to see the graphics before i will buy a graphics card and new processer
Hi, thanks for the great video. Really well done! I have everything taken apart and I’m rite where you ended the video however I’m working with the 4 blinking less and? I’m not to sure where to go from here to fix that. Is that what the oven trick fixes or do I need to do something else? Thanks again!
No, the graphics card is integrated into the motherboard. That fragmentation of the video is caused by the video chip malfunctioning possible due to the defect in the chip. The overheating is also caused by a manufacturing defect in the cooling system. The only remedy I have to suggest is? to do the oven trick found here on YouTube. I have done it several times and its worked flawlessly, no more issues. Sometimes, I don’t work at all. Nevertheless, the problem will get worse.
can u replace the graphics card my laptop had a surge when replacing the lcd cable now the colors are mess up the weird thing is that when the lap top? over heats seems to try to fix the color problem any ideas. thank you
It takes a lot? of skill and patience.
Nice video one? handed
Where is the CMOS battery?
my HP Dv7? Pavilion 3130eo clock aint working so im in need of changing battery?
so where the hell is the position of the battery?
Thanks for a great video to help me disassemble my HP DV7. I used your guide to oven? cook my mother board and get it working again and fix the black screen problem. Awesome guide!
Glad that I was able to help. My wife has a G60 that? the process of disassembly is identical and I have to clean her heatsink out once every couple months because of the piss poor design. Even the new dv/G-series have the same design, such a shame. My Dell Studio has a whole cover that is the size of the bottom of the laptop and allows me to clean it in 10 minutes. I think it is a conspiracy to cause premature failures after the warranty and make it so that people have to pay out the ass
Thanks a lot. I was able to take my neighbors laptop apart and remove the dust between the fan and the cooling ribs. Don’t think I would? have made it without these videos.
Its a shame hp makes it so difficult to clean the heat ribs. On other computers the bottom lit can be removed and the fan is located right under it.
Thank? you thank you thank you!!! You, sir, are a God and I am in your debt. ^.^
How do? reassemble the wifi card or wire connector
Thank you, this was? extremely helpful
Thanks! +1 Subscription & A? Thumbs Up!
Very helpful and very informative.
Yes, if the hard drive was? in working order before you removed it, then it can still be used.
Can? you still use the hard drive that you took off? If so how? I have the same model.thanks again.
I will add a link to the Service Manual in the description. Thank you for the tip.?
The Maintenace and Service Guide from the HP Customer Care website is? also handy for disassembly.
Glad that I was able to help someone out in some way. If you liked it, please like the videos and subscribe as I am? going to have more videos soon.
Thanks for this very informative set of videos. I have a DV7-2270us which has developed either a short or an open somewhere inside, and when it gets hot or bumped slightly, it either bluescreens,? shuts down, or won’t restart for a while. Now that I’ve got an idea of how to take it apart, I’m going to attempt to find the problem. Thanks again for this excellent tutorial. Without it, I wouldn’t have known where to begin.
