HP Notebook 15-db0088ca Disassembly for Service

HP Notebook 15-db0088ca Disassembly and system board tour

This laptop is what I would describe as a lower tier model of the HP Notebook 15 series laptop. Though it is limited for upgrades, it is perfectly functional for general use in 2020, especially with the addition of a Solid State Drive. Hopefully this video can help demonstrate how to disassemble for service.

**Note: if you own this laptop and find that it is running slow, consider upgrading to a Solid State Drive before buying something else. The 5400rpm Hard Drive the unit shipped with is likely the cause. I plan to install an SSD and use the HDD for secondary storage in another device.

Basic Specs:
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
AMD A4-9125 Dual Core @ 2.3GHz CPU
4GB DDR4 RAM
AMD Radeon(TM) R3 Graphics

Thank you much for this video, I will barely use this super slow laptop and try not to cry waiting for it to do something. Thank you.

[jholobetz]

You saved my bacon on this one just to put an SSD in it. Cool!

Hey thanks a lot! Hoping the tear down for my 15-db0048ca isn't too different from this. Was an old gift I don't feel like letting go of just yet lol, def gonna be putting an ssd into it.

Yeah, you don't have to lie. I bought one to have just for a backup and it was a piece of sh*t. It was but I knew it was going to be when i bought it but I really didn't think it would be that slow. Don't plan on doing much multi-tasking with it. If you open one program or app, you are going to make sure you finish up what you're doing on that particular app before you go and open up another app because if you don't it will sit there in a frozen state a until it gets ready to move forward and you are so right about the upgrading or replacing parts. Not all of them are like this. My envy has the 2 screw small rectangle where you can access the ram and wifi card. Makes life way easier. I basically boils down to you get what you pay for. Guys if you see one on sale, make sure you look it over really well. I would even do some research on it first because they put these things out knowing that people will see the price and buy it because it's so cheap. It's definitely cheap alright. You guys have a great day. Stay safe. God Bless. Thanks for the info Haiste Repair.

That was glue you broke through for the screws. If you remove the rubber pad more carefully that film will come off with the rubber pad and allow you to stick them back on more easily

[icemantraveler]

The battery is replaceable? Not soldered in or some dumb bs?

[Mysticsound]

can i ask if that screws are all the same? so i can put them together when im taking them out?

[tammyli]

I followed these steps and at the end I realized this little piece came out but I already closed everything up after replacing the battery. Is that a problem?

[harshawatareka]

Bro is it possible to replace keyboard in this laptop?

[laptopuse-nr]

i can upgrade Ram this Laptop HP 15-db0084AX AMD Dual Core ?

[CanadianOnlooker]

I have one of these which just shut off at the windows login screen. I have no charging light by the charge port, & it sounded like holding the power button to force power off, same sort of click/squeak. I took out the DC jack cable & I am getting 19v on the red/ black at the connector. Is there anything you know of that is as common problem on these other than DC jack

[joshchelvolski]

Is it possible to swap the cpu for a better one or is the cpu embedded into onto the motherboard?

Haha oh man just ruined one, mine had only one screw under the rubber and i pushed a driver into the holes with plastic covering or so I thought but it poked through and ruined a hard drive :P

[Lylcaruis]

Here because my laptop is fucked. Power light is off, charger light is white, fans are at max speed and the power button does nothing. I think my only bet is to unplug the battery but im not sure how
