This 7 year old video is timeless! I had to replace the fan and upgrade the RAM on my laptop and was very sceptical about doing it. Your video thoroughly helped me navigate each part. Thankful to you man!

I've been working on computers since 92ish. I've taken down hundreds of laptops to the bare components. I've built monster gaming machines, load bearing servers, gamers on a budget, workstations, full desktops that pull under 20 watts so that they can run on a cigarette lighter adapter in an airplane for aerial photography. I built modular wireless systems for long range wireless and use that to serve over 2500 sq miles high speed Internet in the boonies as well as every customer unit.

I've built carburetors, engines, every component in a car aside from a transmission and differential from the base components. I've designed 400hp engines on a budget, tuned similar engines to get 24mpg with a carb in a classic car.

I've spent two hours trying to get my wife's laptop apart so I can swap the wireless card and upgrade the RAM.

Thank you for this video. I absolutely *hate* this computer.

Thanks so much for this video! Decided that I would be a super nice guy, and upgrade my sister-in-law's old, slow HP 15-g073nr laptop, from 4gb to 8gb, and started trying to disassemble this monstrosity, before even confirming that I had the memory on-hand. :-D Thankfully I did, and, also thankfully, I found your video.

I have worked on numerous laptops in my 35+ years in the biz, and this is one of the worst designed that I have had the displeasure of messing with. Whatever idiot thought that you should have to, practically, pull the whole thing apart, just to replace / upgrade the hard drive and memory (which was even worse), should be kicked in their most tender spots with full, brute force. There is a special, extra-hot place awaiting them in the after-life. LOL!

Over 5 years since you posted this video, and you're still helping folks.

The Best Disassembly Video i have ever seen, as an It tech i have watched 100, s No ten minute run up and straight to the point Well done

You're a life saver my dude. I have never opened a laptop before, but I saw some other laptops and had a vague strategy I would use. I had to change strategy because you can't lift the back off like with the others over seen. I had eventually loosened every clip, but couldn't get the palm rest off. If it weren't for you showing that you had to disconnect the keyboard, I would have never gotten to the hard drive. Thank you for breathing new life into this machine!

Yes! Yeees!
Great video!
This is the first video I found where I can see how to disassembly my HP 15r209nl laptop.
HP sells the same case with hundreds of different names, and is difficult to find the exact video you need.
After 2 years of research, I found this video, so I could change the hdd: the original one was terribly slow, at the start up is 100% occupied for more than 3 minutes.
Now I can boot Windows 10 in less than 20 seconds (typing password included) and Ubuntu in nearly half the time.
Thanks to your video I did not forgot any screw and was able to change the hdd with a ssd in a little more than 20 minutes.
I spend 1 day to be able to make a dual boot working, but this is another story.

Thank goodness I found this video. I was upgrading the old(slow) hard drive to an SSD for a friend. Done loads for other people, but this was the most difficult to actually get to the hard drive. What a dreadful design HP! Basics like the hard drive and RAM chips should be easy to get to. On this thing, it's easier to replace the keyboard.

In terms of user friendlyness for the owner to be able to upgrade/repair, this laptop, it's on a par with something Apple would proud of. Got to say that even with a SSD inside, it still doesn't break any speed records. If you have one of these, I'd say replace rather than repair/upgrade.

Wish there was sound, even a voiceover would have been awesome.

Здравствуйте! Сколько максимум поддерживает оперативной памяти данный ноутбук с 1 каналом
? Спасибо.

[jdhusocki]

Thank you for this video. All the others did not show the keyboard covering screws. The fan went out on my wife's laptop and I needed to fix it. She passed of covid and our memories are on it.

[silverjay]

dont know how to thank you dude, this massively helped me to reach the CPU and change thermal paste after 8 years BIG THANK YOU

[rustyrussell]

Taken many laptops apart, I reached the point when the screws were out and the center was not budging. YOUR video showed the keyboard removal and viola. Thanks

[ΒαιοςΝταφουλης]

Thank you for your video my friend I disassembly my laptop Change thermal paste and when I turn it on not working the wlan can you help me?

[RistoKappet]

Wow what a crappy design. On my Lenovo you simply open the back cover and replace whatever you wish :D

[busu]

Do I need to unscrew the back panel to get the hard drive????

[awanderson]

Good video. Took me forever to find one for this old model. Thanks for putting it together.

[georgekrikelas]

Very helpful! I have just managed to replace the fan, using this and a couple more videos. Thank you!

[NiKevinSa]

Wow, from what i can tell is that you really need to disassemble 80 to 90% just to replace a memory module, is it true ?

[martharichardson]

well this was most helpfull, a fire destoryed our home last month and my hp notebook 15 was burnt, well it still worked, i decided to remove the hard drive and ram, but ran into problems trying to open it up, , but now this video has helped me
