HP Envy 17 tear down and cooling Fan Replacement

Hi Guys !! Thanks for your time on my YouTube channel!
Today in this video I am here to show my experience on #HpEnvy17 #laptop #cooling_fan replacing!
I am not a super expert but what I would like to share is the real-time experience that’s why I don’t edit the video!
On YouTube most of the YouTuber, they edit the video before upload and in that way, they hide their mistakes what they did make on tutorials generally.
This video will show you step by step how you can teardown your hp envy 17 laptop to replace not only the cooling fan but also other component examples HDD , speaker wifi card and so on!

Hi, When in the middle of a big job processing many GBs of photos the last I needed was an over heating laptop. It got to a point where I was processing images for an hour or so, then shutting down the HP Envy to cool off and ten doing some more. We have a temperature tester that we use for COVID-19 checking and this also has an option for testing other temperature, the HP Envy was recorded with 45c just above the heat sync area.



After finding your video and watching the process I ordered a new fan that arrived this morning, 4 days early. I installed the new fan after following your very detailed demonstration and it all worked perfectly. I did find the heater exchanger was completely blocked along with other vents and after spending some time cleaning off the dust and fluff it all look great. The HP Envy has now been running for around 3 hours and I can't hear a sound from the perfectly working fan. Brilliant thank you

Thank you very much for your video upload. I have watched hundreds of videos but yours is the best. The video recording was great by your partner. Your video is very clear, good commentary, good visuals and you explained everything in excellent details. I appreciate your sharing. My Envy is running crazy especially when I installed Samsung 860 QVO SSD and used my original as data. The computer was running hot before but now it is running the fan more rapidly and temperature goes up to 42C. I will open up the back cover and clean the fan and vent plus see if the "sticky white paste for heat sing is dried or not. I have to buy one from some store. Normally it will cost $150.00 to get it done at repair shop but it is so easy I can do it after seeing your video. Thank you very much again. I liked your video and gave you a thumps up.

@ 7:03, what chip is that? Mine too has a thermal above it connecting to the bottom cover chassis. I was wondering what thermal pad should I used it with and what size? Which areas can I add additional thermal pads? What tapes are used around the heat sink grill and fans? can I use vinyl electric tape instead of the Kapton tape?

Thank you. Your video was precious and I replaced my cooling fan alone and everything runs well 👌🏼🎉

Thank you very very much for the great explanation! HP should pay you for a so clear how-to which they don't provide for their products.

Thank you! This helped me disassemble an HP Envy 17 and get the defective fan out. Now just waiting for the replacement to arrive so I can put Humpty Dumpty back together again! 🤣 That was an insane number of screws!

Thank you for this video. I’m a female and had no issues following this EASY fix after I received my new fan.

Thanks a lot! Great video! I just replaced the fan for my HP Envy TS m7... worked perfectly

I've replaced the fan but haven't hooked up it's connector. I want to make sure I don't hook it up backwards and fry something. It doesn't look like there is anything that prevents you from hooking the connector wrong so do you know the pinouts?
Thanks

Great video, I seem to have an issue with my HP Envy getting very hot and although the fan runs I can not feel a flow of air passing the vent, have tried cleaning the vents with a small hoover but still have the problem. Thanks

I have the same laptop and issue. The corner hinge is broken which a piece jammed the fan. How can i fix the hinge?

[sunnytvxclusive]

[sgall]

What is the fan Part number for the replacement I wanted to order before taking it apart.?
I am in US. Appreciate the video it's great

[Ramsefall]

Great tutorial. My swap was a success except for 2 extra screws...lol!

[diskman]

Great repair video but shouldn't you be using a static mat and a wrist strap when working on sensitive electronic equipment?

[haqafzal]

Thank you for your video, very understandable. I have same laptop HP envy 17 2014, can you help me to fix the broken left hinge, although I have seen other videos in this regard but not for the same laptop and how can I add another SSD hard drive with it's connection pl.
