Once I got it back to the workshop (Home) I had to strip it down to the motherboard. Alot of laptops have a large cover to take off the back which reveals the heatsink and fan HSF but not with the the HP DV6000.

It doesn’t take long to open the laptop and with the newer HP laptops like this HP use minimal screws to hold it all together although there are nuts to undo on this model before the palmrest can come off.

Well on with the photos, I took these photos during the the rebuilding of the laptop but I guess you can start in reverse to undo one.
