HP DV4 Take Apart / Disassembly to Clean CPU Fan
In this video, I take apart a HP DV4 to clean the dust out of the vents and fan because the airflow was almost completely blocked.

so the deal about thermal paste is that it transfers heat from processor to heat sink so the cpu does not heat up.
buy and apply some. Consult the manual to know where to apply.(the manual is online just google your model which is at the back of the laptop)
no thermal paste means the heat is not transferred out and your CPU is overheating and automatically shuts down. in facts thermal paste is one of the? most important aspects of your laptop.
Thanks! Now my laptop is running? smooth again…
I did the same procedure except the thermal paste.. Now my laptop? starts and shows the HP logo and shuts down.Can you tell me any thing that could solve my problem. Any clues ?
fucking hp?
hola! pues mira yo no tuve necesidad de utilizar el alcohol porque la pasta no estaba tan seca, solo fue limpiarlo y brillarlo con un trapito, en cuanto a la pasta no pude conseguir la silver 5 aca en mi ciudad asi que compre una de esas genericas, solo preguntas por pasta termica o grasa termica para procesadores, y pues a mi me sirvio mucho porque mi compu quedo muy bien!! ya? no se calienta tanto
Clearly a poor design. Reaching the fan should be simple, user needs to do it. HP should just enclose a manual on “where to cut with a dremel to? clean the fan.”
If you watch this video backwards? it is about a guy who builds a laptop.
una pregunta,,,,en el video el tipo limpia con alcohol comun,,,tu con que lo hiciste y esa pasta q pasta sera para? comprarla???? gracias de antemano
I think I have to clean the fans too, that laptop is frying my thighs and my left palm… After? seeing this video, the dv4 is my last HP purchase.
Like wtf!! They couldn’ t have made the fans more inaccessible than this. It’ s almost like they did this on purpose…
thanks I was able to re-assemble my laptop because of watching this?
MUCHAS GRACIAS!! este video me sirvio muchisimo para destapar mi portatil, llegaba hasta 100 centigrados y ahora despues de una gran limpieza llega hasta 54 o menos. es un video que nos sirve muchisimo a los que no somos tecnicos y queremos? destapar nuestro portatil por primera vez.
un saludo desde colombia!!
god dammnit? hp…………
hi i got a problem whit may hp to i try to oprn and clean it then i lean it and put all togetter and? it is not turning on how can you help me
how bout good ole? shop vac?
Had to put one of these bad boys back together for some kid? from school. Super smart of them
Worked? Great!! Thanks for the video!!
what is? the motherboard model for this laptop???
because if you could clean it yourself? peoples laptops would last longer, they would buy less, which equals’s less money for computer manufacturers
Holy Crap! Stupid HP. I have to take the whole computer apart just to clean the fan?? ? My Lenovo has a door just for accessing the fan.
great vid!?
make sure you connected the lcd flex cable properly?
it looks like it is hard to do, Im trying to do it to my brother’s laptop but I feel like I’ll break it if I tried. My Dell is easier to clean than? the HP I guess
Where is? the second battery
I think i can? do this
Looks Easy
I just did this….now the? screen isn’t working =P
