COMPAQ CQ57 take apart video, disassemble, how to open disassembly

Hi!
No music. No talking. Just work.
If you are taking your COMPAQ CQ57 laptop apart be careful and wear an anti-static wrist band or use other anti-static device. If you need to change a LCD usually you don't have to take screen out of a laptop. You can leave it on a laptop and watch the last part of the video where I am taking LCD apart. If you need to change a keyboard, you don't have to take all bottom screws out. There are usually some marks, like a keyboard picture, on a case bottom. If you need to put a laptop back to work be aware of screws. They are different and you better remember or mark them somehow to insure that you will put them back in to a right place.
Some laptops I take apart first time, so don't be serious on my time and performance.
If something got broken - ooops, it's your fault.
Believe me, some parts in your laptop are already broken, you just don't see that.
So, just watch this video and fix your laptop.
Have fun and good luck!!

This is my main computer, a nightmare since I bought it. Overheating is a problem with this model. Occasionally runs for hours without overheating. It's a design defect. I thought I would clean the fan, but I'm not doing this to it until I have to. Very interesting to see it all taken apart though. Thanks guy.

The touchpad cable on one side connected to a motherboard and on the other side to a touchpad. On both sides it can be loose or disconnected. If not at motherboard, means you will have to remove palmrest and check if cable is connected to a touchpad.

Hi, at the start this laptop isn't a gaming laptop at all. You can upgrade memory, you can upgrade hdd, you can add even another one instead of DVD drive. But to tell exactly about CPU you need to know a motherboard number. It should be located behind memory sticks (if you will check, please remove battery and unplug from power source first) On the model that in this video cpu is soldered/glued to motherboard...

You will need to take everything including a palmrest off to be able to reach fan/heatsink, than you can use canned air, just do not fan blades to rotate fast, it can make some damages. Also make sure you will remember where all screws and cables coming from.

@regazzz 11 жыл бұрын

Yep it is soldered. I would not recommend to re-solder it unless you are a really good in that. If you are not, than better not. The easy way is to change a motherboard that will have a possibility to install a CPU. But it will cost together something about 150 for used motherboard + CPU... not sure if you will need another heatsink with another fan...

The laptop in this video is one with soldered CPU, so if you can find a motherboard number (you have to take memory out and find a number xxxxxx-001) than I will be able to tell you does your motherboard have soldered CPU or not. Even when you will take only a memory out, don't forget to take out a battery and also to use antistatic device. But at least take a battery out.

I've owned my CQ57 for two years now and its noisy, so I figured the fan would need some cleaning. Is spray air enough, or do I have to take it apart. If the latter: Will I have to remove the back and everything to access the fan, or is it enough to simply (somehow) remove the Keyboard and upper panel?

@james77011 5 жыл бұрын

no! U will need to access your CPU fan from the back of your machine. Be very careful and take out the whole CPU and heatsink and thermal paste as well... Take some alcohol and lent free clothe (coffee filter is great) and clean off the thermal paste . And clean out the fan. Reapply a small amount of thermal paste and gently and carefully reinstall the CPU fan.

You can put more memory in it and maybe change CPU, but the question is what motherboard do you have. Some CQ57 have glued/soldered CPU it makes practically impossible to upgrade. My laptop is pretty fast, but this Windows rating is also low, because my hard drive is not SSD. If it will be SSD - rating will be higher. But good SSD will cost about third price of my laptop, so I will not upgrade it without needs.

@regazzz 8 жыл бұрын

Even upgrading a CPU might not help. Also be aware that different CQ57 can have slightly different motherboards. To check if CPU can be upgraded you need to find a XXXXXX-001 or 005 number and than search for pictures of a used motherboard on eBay. If you see an empty CPU socket - that it means it can be actually upgraded. Good luck!

@frybry01 8 жыл бұрын

I know. I've seen several mb's on ebay for a cq57 but there was never a close up of the cpu., so with your vid, I paused it and looked with my magnifying glass, lol, and was able to see it better. I can't believe HP put out such a slow system even in 2010 when cq57 came on the market. Told my mom never buy those cheap walmart laptops again. They can rarely be upgraded.

@regazzz 8 жыл бұрын

I just checked eBay and there are a few mobos with replaceable CPUs. Sorry, in this case my video is a bit misleading because you really need to check a motherboard number. You find it somewhere at the memory location. Find a number that is looks like 6 digits like XXXXXX- and another 3 digits after dash something like 647174-001 will be with removable CPU and 653985-001 will be non replaceable.

Thanx but not for what Ill pay.

I'll give her my 07 toshiba which is c2d 2.2ghz and 10x faster. Then sell the cq57 on craigslist or ebay for parts. Oh and I upgraded the ram on her cq57 to 8gb last year and it's still slow and dvd drive hasn't been detected in device manager since last christmas.Stepdad has the same laptop his dvd drive will only open by clking eject, not with the button on the drive.

SteeleKnight2000 You would need to take everything out of the back (so yes) like in this video to be able to lift the old motherboard out of the machine and put in a new one. It's tedious but not hard if you follow the video and you're gentle. However, do you already have a replacement motherboard? I was pricing them online just a few moments ago and they sell for about $100.00, you can buy a used and refurbished model for only $150.00. If you haven't already bought the motherboard, I would suggest waiting until you have enough money and just buying one of the newer models for a couple hundred. They'll come with a warranty and everything. I wouldn't replace the motherboard unless you already have one that you paid for already or you can get one for free.

Hey, I have a problem with the same type of computer. The 329wm I had was very slow so I had a working 339wm motherboard. All I did was swop out the boards & I've done stuff like that 100's of times with that model of computer. Well anyways after I did the swop now the mother board won't power up. The power light comes on for 4'5 seconds then it cuts off. I checked all wires and conections and it is hooked up right. Now heres the thang, So I decided to just put the other one back in, after I swapped it back the way it was now it won't power up at all and on this one the light don't come on at all.
