So it seems like a lot of people are having defective cpu fans and if your warranty is up, some symptoms will be the fan making a buzzing noise when spinning and then die. your notebook will then most likely overheat. It will cost you $300 to have HP fix it for you. If you order the cpu fan directly from HP and fix it yourself, it will only cost you about $60. You can order this part from (1800-227-8164) This swap took about 30 minuets. If you dont have a DV1000 this should give you a general idea of your other HP notebooks. Hope you guys save some money...
So we are looking at the DV1000-this laptop was out of warranty and HP was about to charge $300
First take out the battery and unplug your power supply cord.
You will need to unscrew all of the yellow marked screws.
First take off the Hard drive cover and remove the hard drive by lifting the tab.
Then unscrew the memory cover and you will see a screw for the wireless card
Unscrew the optical screw and take the drive out
Unscrew the extra screw from the hard drive section.
Now unscrew the rest.
The keyboard will come off and pull it back without ripping off the keyboard ribbon.
Pull your media buttons off carefully.
After the buttons are off, you will have to pull back a sticker covering a screw marked yellow, make sure you dont take the sticker off completely. it is stuck onto the orange marked ribbon, make sure you dont rip it. unscrew the yellow marked screws.
Carefully pull off the case. be careful not to puncture the speakers or you can pull from behind.
Here is the cpu fan. It is a two piece heat sink system. Really poor design.
Unplug the cpu fan plug.
Here is the cpu fan model and box it came in.
The replacement fan. Dont take the thermal pad off.
Fan back on and plugged in.
Put all the screws back in order and this is how it will look put back together.
Just take youre time and be patient with it. If you have any questions you can PM me or email me at brian@optimosystem.com
