You made everything clear, down to the number and color of screws, with clear images of what you were doing and which parts were which. I was so nervous to clean out my laptop but I was able to do it thanks to this video. And thank goodness I did - it was FILTHY with dust. Thank you so much for producing this!

Thanks for making this video. I could clean my laptop. Which was needed😅

This was a very good demonstration, thank you. I have a similar model 17" Omen laptop, 17-AN012DX. One significant difference of note is that the left fan's housing was connected to another heat conductor that rests, with thermal compound, on several items in the center of the motherboard, held down by three of the large, shallow black screws like what hold down the grill cover plates. This small difference was obvious and intuitive to figure out. I was able to remove and re-seat this component without incident. Other than that, the process was identical and my laptop no longer runs its fans at full speed just from turning it on. Cheers!

@@naregartinian7987 I would first suggest you go through the process again, as maybe something isn't quite connected correctly. Remember to check every single connection is in. Besides loose connections, the only other thing I can think of is somehow a cable or transistor or something was damaged. In that case, if you don't have the tools and equipment to check every part individually to find the route source of the issue, it may be a computer repair shop job. There may be other things you can try that haven't immediately popped into my head though!

@@thecollegepicker Can ya provide us with the screwdrivers sizes? Cause I opened mine today and yea it was dusty but could not access the fans cause the bolts of the "exhaust" (dunno what's called, but it's where the heated air escapes) were too small.

Having quality tools to do this is extremely important. The $15 all in one tool kit is probably going to give you problems!

Disconnect the battery pack and the on board lithium battery and then spray lighter fluid or contact cleaner on those dirty fins. Allow it to dry completely then replace all components back to their original positions.

Want to replace the battery as it is shot. Got inside. Two screws out. Two are just spinning but not coming out. I assume they got cross threaded when the machine was assembled and are stripped. Any ideas/suggestions for getting them backed out?

On my Omen 17 the fan seems to be welded to the exhaust vent? remove all screws and it seems sealed to the tube???

Is there a common household item that can be used to remove the outer case

Hi , i followed your tutorial and once i completed cleaning my fans, now that i try to start it , the power button blinks and there's nothing on my screen , do you by any chance know what might be the issue and how to resolve it?

Hey man! Thanks for the video, it's very helpful! As a bit of constructive criticism, you could use some full time video autofocus tracking for when you're showing a piece above the table closer to the camera, so we can see the detail of what you're showing! Still, the info it's there and I'll be cleaning my Omen 17 soon. QUESTION: the reason I'm cleaning the laptop it's because the fans are on all the time, from the start, not like before, and even if it doesn't make any rattling sound, the normal fan sound all the time is quite distracting when I'm trying to read or work, or only need some silence. It seems to be overheating quite a lot, do you think the processor needs some thermal paste replacement? Or will the cleaning alone do the trick? Also, where's the processor, is it easy to access? Hope you have the time to answer, thanks, all the best! Gabriel

Thank you very much for this helpfull video. I have a similar computer (Omen HP-17-an112nf), on which I have an issue with the CMOS for the date and time memory. I didn't find any document or video from hP (and also tutos on Youtub) explaining where we can find this CMOS battery, and I don't seen it on your video. Does-it mean that it's under the main battery or another component ? I understand that it should be a 2 pins, 3 V, and 210 mAh, but nothing else... I you have any information about this, in advance thank you

An alternative to the b-7000, if you still have those black tape coverings that were already inside the motherboard that is, cut out a piece of the taping and it works firmly to hold the brackets together so you dont get any ratttling. I just discovered this while looking for superglue or some shit and couldnt find any so i remembered how strong that fucking paper was and turns out, it works pretty well 👍

collegepicker thanks so much for this video. i dont think my model has any SSD whatsoever, but its the same model so there should be a slot for it. sorry for my newb question, but do i need to copy everything from my current hard drive to an external hard drive before installing an SSD ?? and load everything back after. and what about the OS, will that need to be re-installed or something?? i havent done anything to this laptop since buying in 2017 so its a mess!!

How much time did you have since the last clean, my Omen has a 3 year warranty, I have had an entry level MSI laptop before, and I used for 3 years, I really did have the msi a rude use and still works fine with no fan clean or termal past change, I wanna know if my 1 year old omen can hold more time without any improvement, Thank you!

bro you're so fucking good at this. it was so easy to follow you. everyone else is so confusing. btw can you make a video on how to lubricate your fans to stop them from making noise? i tried to pry open the fan on my omen but i didn't go too far in case i broke it

It shouldn't be necessary. The laptop's PMU should not be allowing power to get to any components except the power switch and maybe a couple items on the motherboard. Short-circuit protections on all circuits should still be functional, so a dropped screw, for example, should not cause a problem. Unless, of course, you forget to fish it out! :-D
