Hey how’s it going? Thanks so much for the guide, it helped me heaps. However, after putting it back together i found that my screen won’t turn on at all for some reason, and i checked several times to make sure everything was connected properly… any advice?

Thanks for the write up, saved me a whole lot of time with trial and error.
One tip is that on re-installing the keyboard you have to make sure that you LH support slides under the retainer.
Have drink on me 🙂

Thank you so much for these instructions! Would not have been able to get to my dead fan without them. Matched my DV6 LM322AV laptop 99.9%. Only difference is that there is a screw in the hole you said to push into to release the keyboard. Had to remove the screw and then pop the keyboard off from the front. I see someone else posted the same information.

Thanks
My laptop wouldn’t power up (like if power buttons weren’t connected)
I have opened it to see it there was a fuse or something, just removed the service cover and the keyboard, played with a few connectors… reinserted the battery… and it powered up again.
Thanks, I had no clue on how to open it!

Thank you soooooooo much!!!!!! I’ve built two desktops quite a few years ago, but honestly never saw myself taking a laptop apart….. I used a guide you posted for another older hp laptop to make sure I could do it going by your guide first….now the hard drive isn’t in that one so I had no idea if it worked, but I knew I could take it apart at least 🙂 !! Just bought me another laptop, but once I got it I decided to refurbish the old one for my Mom (my Mom thanks you too!!!!) replaced the fan and the keyboard and whalaaaaaaa it works great!!!!! Went so well I’m wondering about maybe doing it as a side business or for when I retire….so I was wondering how did you learn? Classes?? Are there manuals with complete breakdowns out there for all the different types? Anyways, you’re the best and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Psssst one thing you forgot to mention…..removing the keyboard screw, but that was a no brainer so maybe you meant to!! One other thing I noticed is that instead of putting a screwdriver through that hole to push the keyboard up you can push on it in the area where you take out the cd drive….I didn’t get my cable in good so I had keys not working and so when I took it apart again I didn’t want to press on my new keyboard and then I saw that I could see it in the cd drive bay area so I pushed with my finger and since that’s near the edge anyway it worked great popped it loose there and then worked it loose the rest of the way from the top!! Hope you don’t think I’m dissing you, seriously you saved me a ton of money and improved my self-confidence a thousand fold!!!!
Thanks again,
Sonya
