If you plan on working on your laptop, please take notes and take your time. This video makes things look very easy. Some connectors will fall apart easier than they will disconnect and can take several minutes to slowly work apart. It is VERY easy to break small components that are expensive to replace. Depending on your individual skill level you may have more of a chance breaking something than fixing something. If your laptop is important to you, please let an experienced technician handle it. I have over 10 years experience working with computers. I will try my best to answer questions but please keep them related to the video and the work being done. Thank you for watching!

@FastVideoTech Thanks! By the way, I was wondering what was on your wrists. Did figure it out until doing a bit of research on ESD. Damn carpet!

and the fan span on post,for me this was good as i saved allot of money and and did not need to replace fans or take the laptop to bits,after i saw this vid i said there must be an easier way to fix a laptop and i did ,a thin knife and a bit of common sense,if you fans stop spining and your dell 1525 is overheating just do what i did,it takes about 20 -30 secs and right now the dell is running very cool and no shut downs

my cousin dell 1525 kept on overheating,i replaced the thermal paste cleaned the heat grills and it still overheated,watched this vid and saw where the fan is based,i thought lets look through the small slits to see if the fan was spining and it was not,i got a knife and put it into the slits where the fan is and started to push the knife on the top of the fan and kept on pushing to turn the fan anfter a while of pushing the fan span against the direction i was pushing against,turn laptop on
