I thought I'd post this up here, I know you guru's like to tinker(I only WISH I could like some of you do!!). Well here's to show you that so do I, my cuzing had a sound coming from her fan on the mainboard. I took my time, got the replacement fan and did the TIM'S while I was in there.
I maybe should run some scores with it for da team
Here we go a step by step HOW TO Again this is a HP Lappy model number "HP G62-367dv",
First you got to open her up, remove battery and all screws inside the compartment. Next remove the memory cover and hard drive covers as well.
Next the WIFI card, disconnect the snap in connections to it. Remove the screw and remove it. Remove the memory, keeping them in the order they came out. While your at it, the harddrive has three scews and a dongle. Remove the screws unplug the dongle and remove HD.
Next remove ALL remaining underside screws, again I set them in order of removal. Flip it over face up and the keyboard is the next thing removed, it has to relase from the top then the bottom slides upwards towards the screen. Release the DIN wire cable connected underneath the keyboard(there is a snap relase). The top cover of the Lappy will release with a lil upward pressure, or you can use a credit card along the edges to release the snaps.
Now there is one screw(I use a Sharpie to mark the hole) and three plug in flat cables that need unplugging.
Now there are four flat cables connected to the mainboard and three screws(again I mark them with a shapie).(ill stop here for editing) then continue........
