  1. HP Pavilion g7-2275dx Fan Replacement, Battery: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Working on your device while it is turned on may result in electric shock. Make sure to shut down and unplug your device before you begin.

    • Flip your device over so the bottom panel is facing up.

    There is no realistic risk of electric shock on a laptop. However, is it still advisable to disconnect power plug and battery before opening as there is a real risk of accidental damage by short-circuit.

    • The battery is held in by a latch in the front and tabs in the back.

    • Slide the lock switch left, towards the center of the computer.

    • Lift up the battery, rotating it up and away from you, then pull it out.

    • To put the battery back in, line it up with the battery bay and the holes for the tabs. Then let the battery rotate towards you and press down until the latch engages and you hear a click.

    • Using the black tab on the connect and/or a prying tool, lift up to disconnect the black hard drive cable from the green circuit board.

    • Pull the black cable up and out of the back panel. This will make taking the hard drive out much easier.

    • Gently pull up on the plastic tab attached to the hard drive.

  8. HP Pavilion g7-2275dx Fan Replacement: stap 8, afbeelding 1 van 2 HP Pavilion g7-2275dx Fan Replacement: stap 8, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Gently pull the RAM straight out in the direction it currently is orientated.

    • When inserting new RAM, place the RAM in the black housing at a 35 degree angle (it will fit loosely), then push down until it clicks into the silver brackets.

    • This computer supports two sticks of RAM. To add a second stick, repeat the above step with the upper black housing. (Ensure that you have the correct size and type of RAM before trying to add it).

    This laptop only supports up to 8 gig of ram (2x 4)

    • Use a plastic opening tool to lift the wireless card out of its slot.

    In replacing the wireless card, I found it easiest to insert the wireless card and screw down before reattaching the wires. A strong pair of forceps or tweezers helped align the male and female connectors, which are quite small.

    • A ribbon cable is attached to the back of the keyboard. Avoid lifting or moving the keyboard more than a couple inches before you disconnect the ribbon cable or you may damage it.

    • Carefully pry up one of the top corners of the keyboard with a prying tool. Slide the tool along the top of the keyboard to release it from the housing. Pull the top of the keyboard towards you an inch or two.

    • The keyboard may make some cracking noises as you pry it from the casing. This is expected.

    • With a plastic opening tool, pry open a side or corner of the top panel. Slide the tool around the rest of the panel to release it from the clips.

    • You should hear clips releasing from the board.

  21. HP Pavilion g7-2275dx Fan Replacement: stap 21, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Lifting the top panel too quickly or forcefully may damage the speaker cable, which is still attached underneath.

    • Rotate the top panel away from you, keeping the back near the hinge of the laptop to avoid damaging the speaker cable.

    • The screws on the heat sink are held in place by screws and stoppers; they will unscrew, but will not come out of the heat sink. Be careful not to loosen them too much or you may damage the bracket on the back of the CPU.

    • Using a Phillips #1 screw driver unscrew the four screws on the heat sink.

    • When tightening the screws during reassembly, tighten them in a cross pattern (start by tightening the upper left screw, then the bottom right screw, then the top right screw, and finally the bottom left screw)

    • Lift the bracket up from the motherboard.

    What type of screw is into the CPU?

    • Since the fan is held on with adhesives, you will likely need a prying tool and a small amount of force to lift the fan up and off of the motherboard.

    • Be sure to apply a light coating of thermal paste to the CPU before you screw the heat sink back on. For help applying thermal paste, you can reference the iFixit Thermal Paste Application guide

    Where can l purchase a fan

    Sherry Ashton - Antwoord

    This is ridiculous !! why is there not a separate opening/doorway/removable panel so that you can get straight to the Fan ? ? because with this design you literally have to take the whole dam laptop apart…31 steps just to clean or replace a fan ?? who was the moron that came up with this retarded design ??

    I use to think the people at HP were pretty smart…Not anymore…never buying anything from HP again

    I’ve disassembled mine twice with no problems. Try yoga to relieve all that frustration.

    Kip Bunn -

    Excellent teardown. I don't need to replace the fan (yet!), but needed to get the laptop apart to find out why when I opened it yesterday, suddenly it's like the case was being pried open.

    Any idea on whether or not just the back piece of the case can be replaced?? Appears the plastic where the bracket screws into cracked apart, so there's nothing to hold the bracket in place while it pivots open & that was pushing the case apart. Going to Macgyver something for now… and heck, might as well clean it all while it's open, lol!

Thank you John! Your instructions were clear and the numbering helped me a lot in separating the various components and screws.

One point - in step 20- I disconnected a cable from a connector, roughly under where the esc key or the ~ key are. It is not mentioned in the description here. It may be that my model is different - G7-2022US.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! The repair shop quoted me $150 and 2 weeks to fix this, and I was able to fix this in about an hour for under $20. :) I JUST replaced the fan (heat sink was fine) so to remove it, I also had to use a teeny-tiny screwdriver (even smaller than an eyeglass repair kit size) to remove the existing screws that held the fan in place.. Other than that everything else was perfect. I have ZERO experience in repairing laptop innards, first time here, so this was exactly what I needed. It works perfectly now! While i was in there I went ahead and added 4GB RAM, so it's faster now also. THANK YOU!

Hey.. which (for replacing the fan) screwdrivers were you talking about? Phillips #1 Screwdriver doesn't work? Did you need something else?

Thank you!! Absolutely perfect! thanks for taking the time to post!

Very Very nice layed out instruction guide. My laptop fan stopped working after spraying it with compressed air so i had to take it apart but had no idea where to start and after following the simple instruction guide i managed to find a very large piece of lint the size of a nickel lodged inside one of the internal parts of the fan which caused it to stop working. Without this guide i would not have been able to do that,

Thank you again for the very easy completely layed out instructions, very simple to follow.
