hello everyone please welcome and join
me easy steps computer repair and
upgrade I have a HP Pavilion dv6 I'm
going to share with you today that at
this computer as i7 it runs
great has a no problem but there is a
one issue with these dv6 that they get
the heated up a fast and the fan all of
sudden start going to really crazy and
I wanted to share with you how you can
fix it and let me show you what we can
do to in order to fix it I'm going to
turn around this I will open the battery
first let's take the battery out now I'm
going to open this one two three four
five six seven eight nine screws let me
open these screws I'll come back to you
and I'll show you how we can solve this
the problem I had to open already the
nine screws are from all the corners and
the sides now I'm going to remove one
two three four screws right up here and
probably not sure at this moment but
there would be a one screw under the DVD
also once I have opened all the four
screws and now we're going to take this
cover off and in order to do this sir
what you need to do the easiest way to
do if you look at the tabs on the sides
over here there are one two three four
five tabs so they go through slide this
a hole over here you can use some kind
of subscribe but I wanted to show you in
easy steps if you can use your nails if
you just put nail here and here you push
this one a little bit towards that way
up and it will pop up lifts easy
and you don't have to have run strong
nails like I don't you know recommand
be using screwdriver or something then you
will damage the body well it's very easy
so I just want to share with you that
tip so once this one is open the thing
you need to do you open the one is screw
over here which I just release the screw
and the you just push this DVD out once
the DVD is out now we're going to remove
the body screws one screw here one screw
on this side there is another screw near
the wireless card it's right here so we
need to open that screw and then one
nice says over here that's the body
screw that's the spring action so we
going to loose that screw it don't come
out so let me open this we going to
remove four screws form the hard drive
or SSD or ever t have so once we remove
this one so it's important that I'm
going to pull this one out as well since
it's sitting on the top of the body we
need to remove this after moving the SSD
from here you need to remove one body
screw from here right here so the small
tiny school you know once we open the
screw from here and we open the DVD out
we took the DVD then there is a
three screws one two three we need to
remove once all the screws has been
removed to form the bottom side now
we're going to go on a top and there is
again one thing we need to remove the
keyboard so again you put your nail here
or you can use a small flat-head
screwdriver you can push this thing on
and if I do that it will open up here
you go once it's open these tabs will
open up one two three four five tabs if
you look at the small tiny
so once the tabs are removed now I can
remove the flex cable and take the
keyboard away and then I'm going to
remove one two three four five six seven
seven screws one two three four five six
in order to remove the flex cable it has
a black stripe to use again I'm using a
you know my nail when it comes to work I
work on easy steps means that anything
easier for you you use a proper tool if
you have a scribe or flat screwdriver
but I never recommend those until you
are very technical because any pointer
the screwdriver can damage the flux
circuit and then it can cause a
problem but your fingers are very safe
your nails are safe you know what you're
doing so you just put your nail and just
open this black clip put it in the
middle and lift it up and
that cable will come off so the keyboard
is out once we open all the seven screws
and removing the flex cable and now what
you do you come down here and the
easiest way to do this you can go flip
around you just push this thing little
bit down with the finger then you grab
you put your finger here you grab it on
the side that's it
you open it and that opens up and now we
can remove the cable so this whole thing
will come
we'll come out from the top and this one
also say we the black so you remove one
cable from here by lifting this thing
and the one over here you can go close
up just to bring this thing up and bring
this one out so this is the flex cable
the lil one and the one so once this one
is removed now if we look at this is the
big problem we have with this Dv6
the fan they get clogged up they get
dirty and they don't function 100%
that's the because with these computers
they blow and they bog down really you
know when you're working and they just
heat up so now I'm going to remove the
fan or I can use a brush and I can clean
it and blow the air out
I always bring things when it matters
fixing or something in easy steps but on
this one I would not advise anyone to do
work unless they are little bit
technical but again my motto will stay
as is if I can do it you can do it I
wanted to build that confidence in you
so when it comes to easy steps if you
follow those instructions you can do it
exactly and you can get the work done so
in order to open this the whole thing we
need to open the body screw of one here
once you open the screw then we go back
on a side I wanted to show it to you you
need to remove two screws of antenna
once you remove the two screws then you
remove then tell us then you will take
this one out so that will release the
motherboard so in order to remove the
motherboard this is the power switch you
where is on the bottom you just pull
that out the flex cable you pull again
using your fingernail lift this one off
it will come up then you have to remove
one of the connector here these
connector you don't have to remove
because that's going to be part of it
but I just happen to be removed it
because they even this part is also you
know out of way so a lot of things you
can do my main objective at this time is
to clean up the fan and I'm going to
change the grease on my CPU so what you
need to do once we are here this is the
whole motherboard comes out now I can
put this one away on the side
so you have to be very careful if you
look at the fan itself is really dirty
and then top of the fan they are too
small heat sink one for the CPU one for
the graphic card so there are so much
close to each other they get clogged up
once these are vents are clogged up then
the fan don't perform its job 100%
that causes a problem so now
what I'm going to do I'm going to remove
these screws and I'm going to remove the
old grease from there another words
you call not a thermal compound but it's
grease and I'm going to clean with the
alcohol I'm going to apply a new grease
and then I'll put these up back in order
to remove CPU and the graphic card we're
going to remove these four screws and
four up here then we're going to lift
this one up it has a little tape on that
sticky tape on double-sided tape one on
this side one on this side so now if I
look yeah my grease is totally dried up
see no nothing is on my finger same
thing if I look here it's all dried up
that is one of the root cause for these
computers going slowing down making lot
of noises the fan and if I look at my
fan itself it's not that much of dirty
initially I had anticipated that my fan
is really dirty it is dirty but it's not
that it's like I would say I consider
ten percent then I will thought that
vents probably clogged up but the main
reason why is getting heat up because of
the grease grease has been dried up
and we need to use the new grease so now
I'm going to bring alcohol I'm going to
clean up I'm going to clean up with the
brush my fan and I blow the air out so
in order to clean up a fan if you look
you hold your fan and just go like this
go you clean one on this side and then
you go on the other side the same thing
you do the cleaning on this side so it's
easy to clean it once you clean it just
a blow there and these went look really
clean to share with you that if your
fan is really dirty and then you can
remove these a one two three four screws
and you can take the plate out and then
use a brush and clean it in my case that
it wasn't that dirty so I just basically
clean it and the vents look perfectly
fine this side blow air so now I'm
going to use my alcohol swab and this is
the important part that firstly you see
this is so dry I have to rub it so I'm
not going to show you is gonna maybe
going to take me another three four
minutes to remove it it it's just
totally dried and same scenario on these
so let me clean up these and I'm going
to put a new grease or come back so I
ever clean that all the grease form of
both sides and if you look at so many
wipes I have to use then I have to clean
this and other thing is once we're
cleaning with the alcohol it leaves the
residue
not residue it's like a water spots like
a because the alcohol swab has contains
of water so the water spots it's very
important that you just get a napkin or
something you just buff it up because
the more we make it clean there is no
barrier in there and once we gonna put
the new grease
then it's gonna make a better contact so
if we look at now comparable It looking
before they look so nice and clean shiny
glass and same thing I'm going to do on
this one
I'm just going to make it buff it see
how it clean this one and that one still
has some water spots so once this one is
done this part now I'm going to put the
grease so this one I have a silver so if
you have a silver that is a better what
I'm going to do I'm just going to put
just a little amount not too much
because if you put too much that's also
a big problem a lot of people think by
adding too much that will cool down
matter of fact that is a bad for CPU in
the graphic card what happens that it's
the ones we're going to put the screws
is going to get squeezed out then they
it's going to block the areas on the
side and that cannot cause a problem so
this is good enough so after applying
the grease I'm going to bring my whole
plate the heatsink
I will just exactly drop it on top of it
and what I'm going to do I'm going to
screw I'm going to tight these screws
these has a double sided tape if you
want to replace mine I am just leaving
the old tape there so I'm going to tie
these all eight screws once all the
screws are has been put into place now
is the time to button up so I'm going to
button up the whole thing I'm going to
put all the cables back everything
screws and all boot up and I will share with you
okay I put my SSD together the cable I
put all the wiring all the Flex cables
put my memory back put my wireless card
back and I'm going to temporarily I'm
going to test it I have to put all these
screws still back if you see all these
screws going to go everything my DVD
going to go back so I'm going to plug
this one I'm going to see if easy steps
has done the job successfully to put the
battery once the battery pressed cross the
finger I'm going to turn it on so for
good sign the light is on before we went
on and clean up this one the temperature
was 89 so I'm going to see if that has
make any difference with the new grease
I'm sure it's going to make 100% it's a
successful 100% to rate and as for doing
it together and let me start that to
mine and we'll see the temperature and
I'll share with you that how much is a
right now is picking up 46 so it was a
idle yeah when I was starting it it was
like a 72 73 then I was going up to 89
the fan was going crazy
and now it's a the fluctuating between
46 and 49 and it's I still have to you
know put the screws in and put the back
hour so I'm sure it's gonna go down or
it will stay at it so as I would say
that this is how you can fix your the
computer dv6 heating problem and in easy
steps and I really appreciate each one
