Hi,
Thnxs very much for your excellent work. Very clear and good illustrations.
Together with all the hints and suggestions from the comments that came after your first publication of/on it.
Far better than all the BS stuff about cleaning fans videos etc. on youtube and HP support sites.
From your publication, I have made some kind of manual out of it just for my personal use, in case of, I have to go for it, then I could use it as some kind of reference.
Have a nice day and keep up the good work.
Regards, Ted

Update to step 15 and comment 6. The original link provided for the picture is dead. Managed to get it from the archive and reuploaded it to 2 different hosts.

My Pavilion dv7 has been randomly shutting down both while I’m using it and when I stop using it and sometimes makes groaning sounds when I turn the machine back on. I’ve babied this computer and no drops or damage and still has original tags as new. Does it sound like the hard disk needs replacing? Or what? It is i7-3610QP model CPU 2.3Ghz 64bit open system. Thanks for suggestions

will the machine still work if the monitor is removed and everything else is put back together without the monitor at all? just want to use the computer and keyboard with a larger monitor…
Thanks,

Thanks for the great instruction how to disassemble this type of notebook. Without this instruction it would be more or less impossible. 🙂

First I had no video signal and I redisassembled the laptop and saw that the pin of the fan was not plugged in for 100%, just for 90%. After that everything is working and im happy with it!

Thanks so far,

Great instructions, thanks. I replaced my CPU fan on DV7t-4000. Well worth my $20 contribution via paypal.

Thank you for the guide, I used it to disassemble the DV7-4165DX laptop because the left hinge keep on opening. I replace the palmrest and assemble the laptop back together, but now there is a blue hue/tint. FYI, I can still see through the blue tint, it’s just the blue covers over everything. Everything still works, the new touchpad, power button, etc. wireless and everything works, but I don’t know what causes the Blue tint. I’m about to take it off again, but I wonder if anyone knows the cause and fix for it.

Worked perfectly. Cleaned the fan and back together again in an hour. awesome. I missed the step about the keyboard lock release because I was on the wrong model, but didn’t matter, all good
