Power off and unplug the laptop.
Then, remove the battery. Move the switch in the direction indicated, take the battery out, and set aside.
Problème possible sur les HP : la batterie est bloquée avec le verrou coincé en position ouvert. Solution : glisser une ou deux cartes plastique dans l'interstice de la batterie et les faire glisser tout le long pour débloquer la batterie
Loosen the two screws indicated (they won't come out all the way).
Take your spudgering tool and release the plastic clips, starting at the top. There are no clips on the left side, just tabs.
Lift and remove to the upper right, in order to release the tabs.
My Notebook 2000 does not have the two screws in the location shown in the picture. There are screws around the edges. Do I have a different model and a different way to doing step #2 ?
Thanks!
Petite difference sur le mien : une seule vis (solidaire du capot, ça c'est cool !)
Slide the hard drive to the left, clear of the SATA connectors and lift it out.
If you're having difficulty removing the hard drive, insert your spudger into the gap and gently ease the hard drive away from the SATA connectors.
Remove the screw that holds the optical drive in and slide the drive out.
Remove the screw that helps hold the keyboard in.
J'ai retiré la vis du lecteur optique et… rien… je ne vois pas ce que ça a débloqué… j'ai aussi une autre flèche sur le mien indiquant le lecteur optique… il y a une vis mais à 90° complètement inaccessible…
Move the two tabs outward to release the RAM stick, then pull it out. Repeat for the other stick.
9 plastic clips secure the keyboard.
Detail of a clip.
To release the clips, push them in with a screwdriver or similar tool, while lifting the keyboard up. The first few clips are the hardest.
The keyboard is still attached to the laptop by a cable. Use caution when lifting the keyboard away.
To seperate, gently pull the black part up so it's vertical. Then pull the cable out.
It is not clear how to do it (absence pictures), but it
is a critical step and could be easily mishandles causing
connector permanently damaged.
That happened far too often.
In some following steps for ribbon cable disconnecting,
you references to that step, but connectors do not look
like the keyboard connector.
Looking forward to get better explanation.
Thanks,

Hi Anthony,
The ribbon connectors are all the same in principal, they just vary in size - the others are much smaller than the keyboard ribbon.
Lift up the black notch from the side the ribbon enters the connection, remove ribbon. When replacing the ribbon ensure they are inserted flush then replace the black connector by clipping it back on top of the ribbon.
Remove all of the indicated screws.
Note that these screws are smaller than the ones indicated with red circles.
The screw on the right is hidden under a rubber plug. Remove the plug with a pointy object such as a push pin, then remove the screw.
Disconnect these cables in the same way you disconnected the keyboard cable.
Also remove the six screws labeled "M2.5x4".
Where are the M2.5x4 screws in the pic? I think they should be circled.
The top of the laptop is held on by plastic clips. Take your guitar pick/butter knife/opening tool and start undoing the clips. It's usually easiest to start at the gap where the optical drive was located.
During re-assembly, be careful not to pinch the display cable in the upper left corner of the laptop.
Open your laptop screen to its widest extent and prop it against something. This will help with the laptop being top-heavy.
Detach the cables from the wifi card, noting the numbers on the cables and which ports they were plugged into.
Unplug the display cable on the left side. First, partly peel the tape away, then use a screwdriver to help detach the cable. There are small tabs on each side to help.
How do you remove the LCD panel inside the screen?
Remove these screws on the left side to detach the hinge.
Remember to put the cable back under the screw when you reassemble!
Remove these screws on the right side.
Lift the display assembly away and set it aside.
When reassembling, these screws can't be tightened all the way. Just make them snug.
Which cable and the pic doesn't show the cable under any screw?
Unplug the speakers and lift them both out.
Turn the laptop over and unscrew the wireless card. It will pop up, as the RAM did. Slide it out and set it aside.
Near the upper right corner back on the top of the laptop, unplug the cable for the USB port by raising the black part. Then unplug the power cable by pulling it out.
On the bottom of the laptop, remove this screw, then lift the left side of the SATA assembly straight up to disconnect it from the motherboard. Remove and set aside.
Unscrew these three screws, then move the assembly to the right to disconnect it from the motherboard.
Remove these three screws and move the motherboard to the right to lift it out of the frame.
The cooling assembly. Use compressed air to blow all the dust out! I wouldn't recommend removing the CPU heat sink unless you have thermal paste handy to reapply.
Had a great deal of trouble extracting these three screws (marked M2x3). Ended up stripping them all and had to drill them out.
Very well done! The one I'm fixing is a slightly different model but the instructions were the bomb. Perfect!
Dude, instructions are far from perfect!
Danke. Die Anleitung ist wirklich gut. Der Laptop wird nicht mehr heiß. Ich brauchte doch viel Mut. Der HP ist aber auch nicht sehr Verbraucher freundlich konfiguriert.
These models tend to overheat and the OEM thermal paste dries out over time. Unfortunately, there's too many steps and screws involved. It's easy to screw up. For those who say this is a perfect instructional step, it's not. It's not showing the location of M2.5x4 screws and a few other steps. Plus, we are not shown how the heatsink and cpu look.
There's no instructions on how to take disassemble the heatsink and CPU. Afterall, that's really the point of taking the laptop apart… to clean up the old paste/residue and reapply some arctic silver or other similar thermal paste.
