The video is really helpful to anyone who is about to buy one like that like me. Its really good to know what's going on inside of it before buying. Thank you
Always useful to see exactly where the spatula goes to get the case off, I managed to find enough space in exactly the same spot, appreciate your work :)
Hi Ricks Tech, Many thanks for the vid very informative and extremely helpful. Questions how much was the HD and what was the the part number for the one you replaced. Also as mine is brand new but runs slow would it benefit from a ram upgrade to 16gb and assume this is also an easy replacement in one unit. Also the reasons for it running slow are a mystery top me but when running my video editing software Wondershare Filmora9 it can not run at full frame rate I again assume ram capacity. It has no issue running the vids straight from the drone mem card. Thanks in advance
Hi, sorry for the slow reply replace your internal sata hard drive with any "2.5" Sata SSD" if you have an i3 or faster in your machine you will notice a huge difference
I have hp 14s dq3026tu. I have some questions i hope you answer 1. The Task Manager shows it has 2 ram slots.. i have 4gb ddr4 in it. The Tast Manager shows Slot 1 out of 2 in 4gb. It means my laptop has 2 ram slots but when i opened my laptop it has only one Slot. Kindly guide me 2) i want to install 2.5 hdd or ssd in it. There is space but no Bracket and Flexor cable. I am not able to find it. Can you please give me any link from where i can get and which cable wi support? Thank you
just looking at the board in the video at 4:06 im going to assume since the battery is built in, that if you disconnect it for a few minutes it may reset the cmos.
Thanks for this video, Really informative. Anyway I have the same laptop here however, Because of the hot weather in the morning, the fan sound is loud when it's hot and the screen in the middle starts to have dim light, I usually shut it down and let it cool whenever it happens. I'm really worried what should I do?
We have the almost same laptop, mine is ryzen 5 with nvme but the laptop itself is crap Overheats so quick due to the poor cooling design(small vents) and when i pry to open it and change the thermal paste i was surprised on its cheap plastic build chassis is. Quite dissapointed and even the cooling system was bad.
Hi. I've got HP 14-dk0008 which looks almost identical inside like this one from the video. My one is dead. When power on just the fan will go on and off every few seconds also power light do the same thing - Few sec on and off. I've checked DDR's and they are fine. My next aim was to take the CMOS battery out. And here you go. WHERE THE HELL IS THE CMOS BATTERY? :-)
the cmos is battery back uped by the internal laptop battery. So disconnect the internal battery and give it 30 seconds Then see if you can power up the laptop using only the power cable
@@rickstechrepairs that's what I've done and the laptop was still the same, but the day after when I've started biding a new one on eBay it works! It felt new baby coming and decided to work fine again. Thanks :)
Thank you. Very helpful. I have just completed an SSD Cloning and install on this model for a customer here in Queensland today
cheers glad it was helpful

Really hate that they hid the screws under big rubber strips that can easily break
they sure did

Great, good to hear it helps

I literally don't have anything to pry it with...In the end I gave up upgrading my RAM because I couldn't get it to open completely.
Old plastic bank card is the way to go
Hey Rick I have the exact same laptop, I’m trying to find the cmos battery but can’t see one do you know where it is?? Cheers

Hi! Thank you so much for video! Can you tell what is the “BL” 4pin port, it is in the left from touch panel port?

You open it up and blow the dust of the cooper cooler, also replace the thermal paste
Otherwise there isn't much else that can be done
thanks a lot...this video really help me to do some upgrade...the same model i'm using now...
Excellent, glade to have helped

Sadly there isn't much i can suggest to improve this.
i agree the cooling is not good enough
Hi can you tell me if the rubber strips at the bottom are always sticky and if they fall of can we use some glue to stick it on?
Use double sided tape to stick them back on
hello ricks tech can we upgrade the processer and the ram with the ssd

Did yours shorted?

Doesn't have one, primary battery doubles as that
i have a question my laptop is hp 14s-cf0121tu and does it have a fan cooler?
No idea, tear down your machine and have a look, look at the vents with a piece of tissue paper and hold it there, does it flap at all
@@rickstechrepairs your warranty voids than right?
Does anyone know if this is the same or similar to an HP Notebook 14 14s-dk0028au? Thanks.
Not sure
Great video
Thanks Bill
It's have an m.2 slot?
best open to find out for sure
Bruh same laptop with 1Tb HDD .can i able to put SSD with HHD means boths can work .i want both in same laptop is it possible brother?
No space for both. Put the HDD in an external enclosure, usb3 preferably...
spot on
Or you can use m2 ssd in. I thought there was extra slot for
The RAM only has a single slot?

@@rickstechrepairs bro my laptop auto switch off after8% battery can you plz check and inform that this is a system requirement or any hardware issues
I think you did it badly because it cause more scratching things.
fair enough
Would a hp 14sdk0xx be similar inside ?? Just want to clean it no parts changing required
I'm not sure on that one sorry
