HP Pavilion DV2000 Disassembly

Jon disassembles a malfunctioning laptop. See his tools, methods, and pet rabbit!

This is my first go at making a video like this and already I see things that I will do better in the future.

The repair is continued in the reassembly video, found here:

Though be careful, depending on the exact model you have, numbers and locations of screws can differ from what is shown in the service manual

I would like to know if you know how to fix the microphone on HP Pavilion dv2000 laptop? I don't know how it stopped working but when I try to video chat the other person hears static, I can hear them fine. Can you help me? Thanks :)

@archieboop

Make sure it's hardware and not software before you disassemble. Try the sound recorder program in windows for static, and check if you need an audio driver. If you feel the mic is failing, it can be replaced. I don't show this in the video, but the mic is embedded in the LCD display. Disassembly instructions are in the pdf linked in the above description, so you should be able to follow those. Unfortunately, I don't have access to this model anymore, or I would film it for you.

Great video buddy.. I took my dv2000 laptop apart using your video, for the purpose of replacing my power jack.

I already have the new jack but cannot seem to be able to remove the jack itself from the little bay.

Is it attached /soldered to the MB?.

How do you remove the right speaker.. Mine seems to be lodge slightly under the DVD drive.

The power jack is seated right under the right speaker.

Help!!

@bullifieds

I don't have it now to record the process, but I can give some tips

Speaker is blocked by DVD drive, you'll have to remove it. It's held in by 1 screw on bottom and pops right out. See 7 mins into my vid.

The jack has a cable connecting to MB, it is the larger white connector on the top of the MB. In my vid, around the 13 min. mark you can see me remove it with speakers

The bay that holds the jack comes out after 1 screw. Remove jack from bay then. See page 187 of pdf in vid desc

Is the video card welded onto the motherboard?

hello greetings, buy HP Pavilion g4, pre-installed Windows 7 Starter, which is too simple, and look for a cereal and I could upgrade to ultimate, one day I found a system called windows8 download and install it, but it is in English, which do not quite understand and are not registered and I can not install the updates, so I can not switch to Spanish and try to restore the factory system, but disappeared recovery Manager, please re-install and recovery Manager?

Good video, I put the laptop back together and I have 2 extra screws lol. It's working though. One other comment, I don't think you mentioned that there are 2 other screws on the right side holding the screen to the base assembly.
