Wow... after 18 months of a cooling fan error message (and the deterioration through non performance affecting my keyboard badly this last two weeks) I decided to get on the net. Doing all the above seemed just that bit too much (I got 60 pc there, lol). Anyway, just before putting it all back together, I : Blew hard into the fan area a few times, used a needle to move the blades around and repeated the blowing... started my laptop...and NO ERROR message (!). The fan started WORKING (only three times a silent as the last time it worked where it was likely just trying to move, lol). Thanks to the vid for the inspiration as the frustration was doing my head in!!! : ) : )
Dave, used your video to write down the steps needed to take my Pavilion g-7 completely apart today to clean the fan and repair the broken hinge. I've had some hardware experience but never with a laptop. A great video and showed me everything I needed. Thanks for posting it, still comes in handy.
THIS WORKS. A big thanks to the maker of this video! I used this guide to fix the overheating in my laptop by cleaning the lumps of dust that have built up inside over the years. WARNING when removing the keyboard be careful that you make sure that you bring the whole keyboard which is made of multiple layers, if you try to force it with only the first layer you'll snap it like I nearly did which isn't shown in this video. However other than that this is a great tutorial and would recommend others to put there faith in this video. Make sure your computer isn't in warranty before opening it however as it'll make that void. I didn't need to worry as my laptop was 5 years old. thanks once again for the video!
Dave, Thanks for the video. It was practically the same for my HP Pavilion G6-2284ca that had a disturbingly loud fan. Turns out the exit of the fan was blocked with dust. I did not need a new fan, but replaced in anyway, since I had bought it and had the whole thing open.
Even tho my laptop isn't EXACTLY like yours (Mines a Pavilion G6) Your instructions helped me SO much. A milllion thanks for saving me money and giving me confidence. There are a few of these instructional videos out there but they're either a. sped up to high speed or b. have no narration or real guidance. I only wish you lived next door for help when my desktop computer needs service (which isn't yet). YOU ROCK!
Thanks for this video. Replaced the fan in my wife's G6; it now works perfectly again. To all those that might wonder about replacing the thermal compound: please do yourself and your laptop a big favor and do so. I will hesitate a guess that this series laptop has this problem because they probably use low quality thermal compound. As the laptop heats up, the fan has to run faster and longer to keep the heat under control, because the thermal compound has deteriorated. This probably causes premature wear and death of the fan. That gold colored tubular device on the fan/heatsink assembly is a heatpipe. It functions similar to an Air conditioning compressor. It tranfers the CPU heat to the fan exhaust by heating up and changing it's liquid into a gas. This then changes back into a liquid as it is cooled by the fan exhaust.
Thank you for making this, it's also applicable to the G6-2244sa - it took me a couple of hours to find a relevant video that could walk me through the repair, but your input was very clear and concise. Thanks again.
I thank you and others like you that share your know-how making it possible for us to do a repair. I now replaced the fan on my granddaughter's HP Pavilion. She thinks I'm a genius, I feel great but I couldn't have done it without the good instructions. Thanks
Thank you so much for the video!!! We didn't need to replace the fan but needed to do some cleaning.... without this video we would have stopped at taking off the back :D Now my laptop works perfectly!!!! Huge thanks!!!!
Thank you. Your video really helped. I had another G6 I acquired some time ago and used it for spare parts. Swapped out the fan and my other G6 is working again.
Thank you so much for Parts 1 and 2. Thanks to your patience and detail in completing this instructional video I was able to successfully replace the fan on HP Laptop. It wasn't the exact model but it was close enough to follow your instructions. Thanks again. 5 stars out of 5.
Thank you very much!! was able to repair my laptop in under 1 hour thanks to your video. Now its absolutely silent and wont overheat anymore during games. Just had to get rid of the dust and apply new paste.
Every screw accounted for. All parts removed, fan cleaned out, all put back together. Still no go. Guess I'll have to get a new fan -- but at least I know I can do the repair myself! Thanks Dave for helping all those like me who want to make sure we don't screw things up too bad, but are willing to at least try the DYI first.
You, my friend, have dealt me a great deal of help. I thank you very, very much for being so elaborate and taking the time to make a follow up video as well. I have the 2238dx and this was perfect for helping me replace my fan. You, sir, are a saint. >.
Thanks for this video, really helpful. I am waiting for my replacement part to arrive, but shall be giving this a go when it turns up. HP wanted £132 to do this for me, I bought a replacement on eBay for £15, insightful!
Thank you very much for this video, the fan in my HP G6 was making more noise than a jet fighter, now it´s running quietly, just needed a little cleaning
That's a lots of help for me,thanks Dave.I had a problem with cooling issue my laptop was usually get too hot while normal working,but thanks to u by this I can get into my laptop and fix the issue.
I found this video really helpful, thank you soo much. For the first time I opened my laptop and this video helped me to change the fan successfully! thanks again, God Bless
Thank you so much for doing this video. You gave me the confidence to do it my self and save hundreds of dollars that it would have cost me to send it to HP repair
Dave very good video. This was the biggest computer repair I have ever done and this video helped me a ton. My cooling fan is now replaced on my G6 2319 and the error message is gone! I do have 1 big suggestion regarding the PART 2 video. When I got to the part of removing the heat sink/fan assembly, I called a very reputable PC store and asked about cleaning and re-applying the thermal compound and they said it was not necessary. This will save some time. Just be sure to get ALL the dust out. My laptop is 4 years old and the compound was all dried up anyway so I didn't see the need to clean with rubbing alcohol and re-apply. Another tip is when you remove the keyboard use a fine razor blade to pry part of it up carefully and it will come out pretty easy - just go slow. Take pictures with your phone along the way and it will go fine. Thanks Dave!
9:56 Thank You! I tore my G6 down to clean the fan and ran into these two connections and didn't know the proper technique. I've been googling for a couple hours and not even Ifixit had these connectors listed. Kinda glad they did hinder my progress now since I don't have thermal paste atm to fully dismantle for the thorough cleaning it needs. That's my project for tomorrow and also to locate where these 8 extra screws belong! lol
God bless you for sharing such an informative video. I didnt have to watch the second part. My fan had loud noice and I opened my laptop for the first time by watch your instructions carefully. And I found chunks of dust stuck there. Luckly I dint miss any screw unscrewed as I assembled every screws to groups after removing from each session. Man you did a great job !!!! Thankyou soooooo much.....
Hi. Thank you. This video and the part two helped me to fix my computer to work again. My cooling fan was so dirty that it didn't work so I needed help to open my computer and clean it.
That’s so crazy just to get to the fan, I think I’ve got too much dust in it. This is a big help thank you! I took apart my asus and it’s right there When you open the back
Wow... after 18 months of a cooling fan error message (and the deterioration through non performance affecting my keyboards badly this last two weeks) I decided to get on the net.

Thanks for the inspiration as the frustration was doing my head in!!! : ) : )
THANK YOU!!!!! I just use the vidéo to clean my computer, but everything is better! More rapid, very silencious and the connexion very bad is restored!!! Thank you very much, you save my computer! (Sorry for my english, I'm french, but it wanted to say that)
I got to the part where you take off the top to get to the fan, my top won’t come off and it feel like I’m about to bust it, is there anything I can do that won’t break it?
Great guide - in conjunction with part 2, natural too, all steps and all potential tricky steps are highlighted. Both parts worked spot on for me - result one (silent) fully working laptop - thanks Dave, much appreciated (btw loved the sounds of your missus washing up at the end of part 2, must have been your turn to dry ;-)
thank you soo much. your video gave me the courage to finally open my laptop and give the fan a cleaning. your video is the best out there. now i know how to disassemble my laptop thank you so much
Excellent video. Unfortunately when I put the wireless card back in, one of the little gold coloured terminals would not fit back on. It seems to have got damaged and won't clip back on the terminal. I felt I had no alternative but to gently try and attach it with a bit of solder. I did my best to make sure there was no heat transfer to the wireless card. It attached okay but when I turned on the laptop, I noticed that I was only getting 3 aerials instead of five and wonder if I have caused a bit of damage? I wonder do I need a new wireless card, though the damaged clip is the other bit coming from inside the laptop.
if you're looking for it and can't find it - here is the link to the second part of the video where I put it all back together - th-cam.com/video/UTCx7SSHFsg/w-d-xo.html Glad people are finding this helpful.
+Dave Richards Hi, I watched all your 2 videos, and I followed your instruction step by step. Everything was fine my computer did boot up well, but 10 min later the screen started to become blurry and green!! What can I do to resolve it, please I really need help, I don't want to spend extra money to buy a new laptop
Dave Richards, sir i used your useful video for disassemble my laptop but when i assembled it,my laptop screen become blank, nothing is shown on screen please help
Hi my name is Leela. This is an awesome video. I really like you taking your time to explain. I just wish we could’ve gotten a closer look at things because of all the small parts. Nevertheless it works well for me Thank you
thanks, this helped a lot. took me a whole day to get to the motherboard because of a stripped screw on the bottom. ended up making a hole around it just to get it out. :(
Hello i was i trested to buy a coling fan and cases for my hp pavilion g6 notebook pc but i cant find the right pieces i bought a fan thats not for mine can u send me some links please
despite this being one year ago, the disc drive has a release near the screw you took out. It is marked with an engraved image of disc and the word "release". It is a small square opening and you put your fingertip in the opening and push towards the drive. It will release the drive.
Hey Dave, just a question. I find this laptop as completely similar as mine. except it has a different name model. Mine is HP Pavilion G6-2040nr. Can I also apply and do the same disassembling process to my laptop like what you have done in this video? Hope you reply. Thanks.
Hi. I accidentaly "broke" my laptop fan. I thought I'd try get some dust out of the laptop by putting my vacuum cleaner nossle hard up against the air vents. When i started my laptop again a message saying the fan wasnt working and reccommended shutting down to avoid damage from overheating. I dont think sucking air from the vacuum would have broken the fan. Do you think something might have come loose or should I replace it? My model is identical to the one in the video. The instructions are great but I can't get these screws out for the life of me, I swear they're superglued.. and therefore couldnt open it to check.
This is by far the biggest computer repair I have ever done, and it went great due to your videos.
Maybe I will just let my computer fan run hard all the time instead.
I did it and now my laptop doesn't want to turn on 😳

Thanks for this video. Replaced the fan in my wife's G6; it now works perfectly again.
To all those that might wonder about replacing the thermal compound: please do yourself and your laptop a big favor and do so.

As the laptop heats up, the fan has to run faster and longer to keep the heat under control, because the thermal compound has deteriorated. This probably causes premature wear and death of the fan.

It tranfers the CPU heat to the fan exhaust by heating up and changing it's liquid into a gas. This then changes back into a liquid as it is cooled by the fan exhaust.
I left this untouched for more than one year and then I decided to try and do it myself and because of you I managed to do it all by my self good job
