Nice one. But 2 things have to be mentioned - 1. The two screws above the hdd (not the ones that are holding it, but the ones hidden by it) don't really have to be fully removed; 2. You could make a full disassembly, but it's a good job anyway - you got my like. It's a good machine, despite being now old now. I recommend getting bios update A10 from dell for win7 users if haven't taken already.
Thanks! My fan was making a squealing sound and i found a bunch of hair in it after taking the whole computer apart, now its back to normal. Video helped a lot!
Great video - Thanks! I'd like to relay a couple of things I encountered in the hope it will help others. My first hurdle was removing the keyboard ribbon/cable from the motherboard from 6:00. The left side of blue bar over the ribbon/cable in between the socket and the keyboard is loose in the video, but when I got there mine was locked down. I had to push the black plastic left (as in the video) of the blue bar aside enough that the tab on the blue bar (which you can't see in situ because it's under the plastic you're moving aside) could release. You want to do this BEFORE you unplug the keyboard ribbon/cable. My second hurdle was unplugging the keyboard ribbon/cable. The wire with the blue tape you see him lift to pull the plug up is just a handle for pulling the plug out and does not lock the plug in at all. So rather than pulling up in the middle of the wire like in the video, it's much easier to pull one side up until that side pops, then pull on the other side of the wire to pop the plug off completely. The same technique applies to removing the display ribbon/cable. I do hope I've been clear, and this helps!! edit - I wish I could post a picture of the fan outlet/radiator interface - completely blocked...
Thank You! this was so helpful. the outflow track was completely clogged, bringing the cpu temp up to 165 degrees F. luckily i felt the bottom and realized i could pop corn on it. it was that hot to the touch..
Hi, I know this sound ridiculous. Is there video that show you how to put everything back to its place? Taking everything out seems easy to follow on video....but putting it back...looks like a daunting task since laptop assembling not same like desktop
Hi.Can You tell in few words what can cause - fan working normally and stopped working after dissasembly.Checked all sables,plugs etc... Laptop switch off itself after start (1-2s) without fan spinning.I know fan is ok as it started to work again after it was not working...and now not working again.
+BigJ try to spin it manually, if it spins after pushing couple times that's mean that problem in fan engine, if it won't spin then maybe you can try to put some lube on axis if fan rotation
What is the thing that you put on top of the chip? You first removed it with the tissue and then added a new sort of whte glue? what is that white glue exactly? Thankss

I don't like it when repair videos play really loud overly cheery music, but this shows that I don't really want pure silence either.
the fan inside is also full with dust. You mus clean it and than all job is done!
I know that from a long time
But i don't know what thickness for the thermal pads
There are three sizes
0.5 and 1 and 1.5
Which one will be suit

can you remove JUST the fan, without removing the CPU heatsink assembly?
will it "wiggle" out of there?

+BigJ try to spin it manually, if it spins after pushing couple times that's mean that problem in fan engine, if it won't spin then maybe you can try to put some lube on axis if fan rotation
