HP Compaq Presario V3000 laptop Disassembly & Restoration

This is a full disassembly & restoration of a Compaq Presario V3000 given to me for free for helping a senior with computer problems (this was her laptop and it is retired)
The restoration though had a bit of a mild annoyingness, that the control cover and palmrest were secured with so many plastic clips, and that the CPU upgrade required motherboard removal.
I was pretty surprised at how good of physical condition this laptop is after restoration, and I think I might as well keep it as a display model because of its physical condition!

    Thank you very much for sharing. The Presario V3000 was a well built laptop. In fact, I am typing this on the same version. They keyboard is very good as compared to contemporary computers.

    Well its keyboard is actually better than the bigger variants like pavilion dv6000 and Compaq V6000. It's the same exact keyboard but V3000 has less keyboard deck flex thanks to it being smaller and less bendable.

    Assuming yours is the same V3000 Intel version with a GMA 950 graphics? i guess if you also have problem with sometimes hard drive/optical drive not being detected despite them being known perfectly good, then you may be looking at replacing a few capacitors on the 5V power rail and on the 1.8V RAM power rail

    Best cpu is T7600 (avoid, crazy expensive). Best recommended is T7200, like the one I've used. You MUST upgrade the bios first

    Also, the T2410 does not exist. It's either a core 2 duo T2400, T2450 or Pentium T2060, T2080. Make sure you have the V3000, NOT the V3500. Putting a T7200 inside the V3500 kills the laptop, as it's the newer Socket P!

  • @kztech1319

    @kztech1319

    2 жыл бұрын

    Assuming you got the basics right, such as using a reputable branded thermal paste, then you need to invstigate what is the cause of your shut down. Assuming you have an Intel based one like mine, hwmonitor will tell you the CPU thermals. If they look good and it still shuts down when the temps are well below 80C, and that your battery is dead, then you might need to investigate on your charger. HP's small yellow plug chargers are never all that durable, and on the higher end dv6000 series the chargers are also vastly underpowered. If you have any doubts about the charger, just get a 90W charger that shipped with the dv9000 and save yourself any future troubles.

    Hi, please determine where your hinge is broken at. I imagine it's unlikely for the hinge to break at the bottom casing, as that's screwed into Magnesium chassis. But the lid I imagine it's totally possible to break at. Follow the video, remove the display assembly, then tear the display assembly apart (no need to remove palmrest or proceed further). Should you really want to attempt things like broken screw threads, you can consider trying hot glue, but there are tricks to doing that, or else the bond will be weak

    I'm currently in progress of restoring my Compaq V3000 laptop too. My checklist are upgrading the RAM, swap from HDD to SSD and upgrade the Pentium T2080 processor. I've already done the first two list so now all i need to do now is to upgrade my CPU to the Core2 Duo T7400. Is this the perfect upgrade for my old CPU? If it is, where should I get the BIOS driver update for my laptop?

  • @kztech1319

    @kztech1319

    Жыл бұрын

    Assuming you know for sure it was a T2080 CPU, which is a Yonah Core duo generation Pentium, you will need a BIOS update first as mentioned and then yeah T7400 will work fine, but be warned T7400 will run quite hot and expect decreased battery life if you use battery. For drivers and BIOS updates on these old HP's, HP didn't actually delete the files on their FTP servers, they only deleted the driver support pages. So you can use hpnotebookdrivers dot com which is essentially an organiser that organises the drivers for you, downloads are all still HP's FTP servers

    Well it seems like you have the AMD variant which comes with the integrated Geforce graphics. Due to resource allocation issues with the BIOS in the Intel variant, you are limited to 3GB of RAM despite the chipset supporting up to like ~4GB max. You might even get 6 or 8GB of RAM working on that thing as it did on my dv6000z, while that is simply not possible on the Intel variant You wanna replace the thermal pad on the chipset with a copper shim and thermal paste, as my dv6000z's did overheat and fry and I had to bake it

    Also which AMD CPU do you have? It seems like you might've gotten lucky as the RAM controller is within the CPU for Turion 64 X2 and not all chips support 800Mhz or more than 3GB! I currently have a Turion X2 TL-50 in one of my other machines and it tops out at 667Mhz and 2.9GB of RAM! I am currently investigating whether it's because that has the old F2 stepping while my new upgrade TL-60 would come with G2 stepping.
