If this is your first time starting to disassemble a laptop, we recommend that you pay attention to the article “”. This article contains recommendations that will help you avoid typical mistakes in the process of disassembly.
The HP Pavilion dv7 7000 Series is based on the same chassis as the HP Pavilion dv7-7000er, dv7-7001er, dv7-7002er, dv7-7002sr, dv7-7003er, dv7-7004er, dv7-7005er, dv7-7006er, dv7- 7010us, dv7-7150er, dv7-7160er, dv7-7161er, dv7-7163er, dv7-7170er, dv7-7171er - these models have the same disassembly process.
How to clean dust from HP Pavilion dv7 7000 Series laptop
If the laptop overheats during operation and suddenly turns off, this is most likely due to overheating of the cooling system. The reason for this is the accumulation of dust on the radiator. If you do not clean the cooling system in time, this will lead to damage to the motherboard in your laptop. You can fix this problem yourself by repeating all the steps shown in the video below. The information provided in our video instructions makes it possible to clean your laptop from dust yourself at home. The necessary tools for repairs can be purchased at the end of the page.

That's it, the disassembly of the HP Dv7 laptop is over, we clean everything from dust and put it back together in the reverse order, if something is not clear to you - watch the video by TaMa_Ghazi Diagnose Reparatur und Service Laptops
First of all, unplug the laptop(disconnect the laptop from the power supply and remove the battery). On some laptops, this will require unscrewing 4 screws. For your convenience, place any removed screw on a piece of paper and sign where it was removed. For example (Fig. 1). In the designated segment, arrange the screws in the same order as they are in the laptop. For greater convenience, you can number the groups of screws according to the order in which they were removed. This will simplify the task of assembling the laptop.
Next, you need to remove the hard drive, wifi module and, in some cases, the Bluetooth module. On some models, disassembly will not work without removing the RAM sticks. All these manipulations are performed on back cover laptop.
Then you can carefully turn the laptop over.
Open the laptop lid and try extremely carefully use a pick or card to lift the bar covering the speakers (thin plastic frame located above the keyboard It is not available on some models). It should be pryed carefully and evenly along its entire length until it becomes possible to remove it. Sudden movements will lead to cracks in the frame.
On some HP laptop models, the next step is to remove the top of the laptop with the matrix.
Then you need to remove the laptop keyboard. Do this carefully, prying the latches with a pick. Remember that the keyboard is attached to the motherboard with a rather short and thin cable. It needs to be disconnected as soon as you have the opportunity.
Then remove the keyboard tray.
If at any stage you are unable to remove the part, make sure that there are no remaining screws in the way. By acting by force, you can simply break the fastenings.
So, here is a laptop motherboard with many terminals and cables. You can already see the cooling system, but access to it is only available from the back of the motherboard.
Disconnect all connections that prevent the motherboard from being removed and unscrew all screws securing the motherboard.
Remove the empty case and place the motherboard on a work surface with the cooling system facing up.
Next, unscrew the radiator fasteners. General rule removing the radiator - gradual unscrewing the screws crosswise. This uniformly reduces the load on the processor die. Once you remove the radiator, you will see the fan. The fan wings and radiator grille should be blown out with a vacuum cleaner, an enema, or a can of compressed air. The dismountable fan can be separated for better cleaning and the bushing can be lubricated with oil.
Next, take the time replacing thermal paste. This measure is no less effective in reducing the temperature of the laptop and maintaining its performance at the original level. The old (possibly dried) layer of thermal paste must be removed from the CPU and GPU chips. Pay attention to the chips themselves; it is not necessary to clean the paste from the surrounding surface. Apply a good layer of paste and make sure that when connecting the chip to the heatsink, the entire contacting surface is covered with thermal paste.
The success of the assembly directly depends on your care and accuracy when disassembling the laptop. Carry out all the steps in reverse order, making sure that the screws are used up smoothly.
If, after assembly, your laptop does not start, make sure that you did not forget to install any element, and that the power button was correctly connected to the motherboard.
