Today I will tell you how the eMachines laptop model g630 is disassembled.
He survived the fall, his matrix is broken and his body is slightly damaged, but he turns on.
- We begin disassembling the laptop by disconnecting the battery.
- We unscrew the five screws holding the hatches on the bottom of the laptop.
- We open the first compartment, here is the hard drive.
We take it out by pulling the tongue, and remove it.
- The compartment on the opposite side is also designed for a hard drive.
- The average is memory and wifi module.
We take the memory.
- We open the laptop and see how the keyboard is attached.
Remove the protective bar above the keyboard.
We lift this bar by prying it from the edge, snap off all the latches.
- Then we remove the keyboard, bend the upper part towards ourselves, snapping off all the latches from the bottom and from the edge.
Do not pull, as you may damage the cable.
We unfasten the cable by sliding the fasteners towards ourselves, we pull out the cable from the connector.
We remove the keyboard.
- To get to the cooling system, you need to remove the matrix.
We unscrew two bolts on both sides under the hinges, the bolts around the perimeter and the bolt that holds the drive.
Only eleven bolts.
- Remove the wires wifi antennas module, it is enough to pull them up.
- These wires are in the groove, opening the laptop, these wires must be pulled out.
We disconnect the connector to the matrix, you need to pull it out exactly, otherwise we can ruin the cable.
We remove the latches hiding the hinges.
We twist two bolts on both sides, they hold the matrix.
Disconnect the matrix from the laptop.
- We unscrew all the screws under the bracket and the keyboard.
In the upper part, under the plugs, there are four more bolts; they also need to be unscrewed.
- We take out the drive.
- Driving a thin object between the two halves of the laptop, unfasten all the latches along the edges.
- Disconnect all visible connectors before lifting the cover.
These are the speaker connector, the left speaker connector, the button panel connector and the touchpad connector.
After unfastening all the loops, lift the lid.
- You have to remove the motherboard to get to the cooling system.
We remove the Wi-Fi module, it is located below in the middle hatch and is held on by two bolts.
Next you need to find the screws marked with a triangle, they secure the motherboard.
We unscrew them, and remove the motherboard.
- Thus, we got to the cooling system, and it became clogged with dust.
If the laptop has been in operation for two or three years, then remove the cooling system completely and change the thermal paste.
In this case, the laptop has been in operation for one year, so we will only unscrew the cooler for cleaning.
First we disconnect the power, then unscrew the three bolts on top with a thin screwdriver.
- Raise the cooler and clean it.
- Let's start the reassembly process.
We put the cooler in place, connect the power.
We fasten the cooler with three bolts.
- We take the bottom part of the case and install the motherboard into it.
Insert the motherboard at an angle.
Insert the cap of the card reader.
We fasten the four bolts that held the motherboard.
- We install the Wi-Fi module in place, fasten it with two bolts.
- Now we put the top panel, snap it around the perimeter.
We connect all connectors.
- We fasten the four bolts that were covered with stickers, close them back.
We fasten the rest of the bolts.
- We insert the memory into the middle slot on the bottom of the laptop.
Now we install the matrix, and screw in the four bolts.
- Connect the matrix connector.
We lay the loop in their channels, where they should pass.
We push the wires into the groove, and pull them out from the bottom side.
We connect the wires to the Wi-Fi module.
- Put the optical drive back in place.
We screw all the bolts on the bottom panel of the laptop.

Often this is due to the fact that the fan of the laptop cooling system is corny clogged with dust or something else (there have been cases when laptops were brought to the SC, where the fan was clogged with cat hair). If there is dust on the fan and radiator of the cooling system, then the cooling efficiency decreases, and the fan starts to make a lot of noise.
To fix this, you need to clean the laptop from dust. If there is time and opportunity, then it is better to entrust this operation to a service center. But if you don't want to get involved with service center- then you have to do the procedure manually.
Note: You can also lower the temperature of the processor and video card of a laptop by changing the thermal paste. How to produce it is described in this material:
To clean the cooling system, we need:
Screwdrivers for removing cover and fan
A napkin or rag, and, if possible, a compressor or compressed air can to blow dust out of the radiator
Lubricant for the fan (any one will do, but it is desirable that it be thick and not spread quickly)
First you need to pull out the plug from the laptop from the power supply, and also remove the battery. Removing the laptop cover
The procedure for removing the cover is described in more detail in this material:
Note: if you do not know how to disassemble and assemble your laptop, then use the instructions for disassembling the laptop. You can find it in this forum thread:.
When disassembling a laptop, remember that in addition to the bolts, the lid is held by latches. They must be handled with care.
When the cover is removed, we find the fan, unscrew the bolts:
Removing the fan itself:
We take off the hood. Sometimes it happens that it is removed without much effort, and sometimes it is held with a plastic washer. To remove the impeller in this case, you need to peel off the sticker on the back side and carefully remove the washer with a needle. You have to be careful with the puck. She gets lost very easily.
After that, we take out the impeller:
To clean the blades, you can use a double-folded napkin or a regular cloth.
Wipe the impeller shaft with a clean piece of napkin and apply a little grease to it
Now an equally important operation - removing dust from the radiator . To do this, I recommend using brushes, dry cloths, cans of compressed air or a compressor. In extreme cases, you can use a vacuum cleaner or blow it yourself with all your might. The goal is simple - blow out all the dust from the gaps between the radiator plates.
This is what a clogged radiator might look like (these three photos are taken from azbooki.ru):
All dust and other debris should be cleaned out of there. As a result, you should get such a clean radiator:
When finished, we collect everything as it was, tighten all the bolts and put the battery. This completes the cleaning procedure.
Removing small scratches and grease stains from the surface of the laptop
Let me suggest that most laptop users prefer to see their devices clean and beautiful. A laptop that is covered in fingerprints, dirt marks, and scratches doesn't look very representative.
To fix this, we need:
Wet wipes for wiping LCD monitors (you can easily find them in stores)
Cloth with microfiber (available in the same stores). Looks like this
Displex polishing paste or something else to remove scratches
Napkins often come with such pastes:
These pastes are relatively cheap ($2-10)
The first step is to clean the monitor from were and from greasy traces. To do this, you must first blow off or very carefully sweep the dust from the matrix, then wipe it with a damp cloth, and then with a microfiber cloth. If the dust is not swept away before the procedure, then the matrix can be scratched. We clean the laptop lid in the same way: first we blow off / sweep away the dust, clean it with a damp cloth and wipe it with microfiber.
And now I will describe the process of removing shallow scratches from the glossy cover. It just so happens that some laptop models are equipped with a glossy cover and body elements that look very nice, but scratches often appear on such surfaces. To remove them, we need a polishing paste (Dislex, Digitex, you can also use GOI, but very carefully, because its graininess is large), a napkin or cotton wool. Before polishing the laptop itself, I recommend practicing on damaged, scratched CDs. We apply a little polishing liquid to the place of the scratch
and three ... it is possible that you will have to apply polishing liquid to that place again and rub again with cotton wool or a napkin. After a couple of minutes, a shallow scratch will disappear. In the same way, you can get rid of scratches on mobile phones, players and other gadgets.
ATTENTION: DO NOT REMOVE SCRATCHES FROM LCD SCREENS IN THIS WAY!!!. Polishing removes a small top layer of material and may damage the LCD/
After polishing, wipe the area with a damp cloth and microfiber.

After unscrewing all the screws and removing the back cover, carefully disconnect and remove the hard drive. He will be followed RAM. It must be carefully removed from the grooves, after disconnecting the side fasteners. The next device removed will be the DVD drive. Its mount is located on the case, which means it is already unscrewed, so you just have to get it out of the laptop case.
Description of the process of cleaning an Emachines laptop
It often happens that in the process emachines laptop cleaning the screws are lost, so it’s better to immediately put them in some box and put them away. And carefully lay out the internal devices removed from the laptop in such a way that during cleaning you do not drop or damage any of them.
Now it's the sensor's turn wireless communication. If you are not an expert and System Administrator, then before disconnecting, it is better to immediately write down or photograph the fastening of the wires to the sensor.
After making sure that there are no loose screws left in the slots, turn the laptop over and carefully pry off the plastic latches that hold the panel above the keyboard with a screwdriver. Gently lift the panel so as not to accidentally break the wires and unscrew the screws that secure the keyboard. After removing the keyboard, you can remove the speaker panel.
The next stage of disassembly will be the display. To remove it, you need to disconnect the contact and unscrew all the bolts. When removing the cover under the keyboard, be careful not to damage the case. Now take out the motherboard.
The cooler removed from the cooling plate should be disassembled in order to clean the blades well. And from the surface of the plate itself, with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, remove the remnants of the old thermal paste. It is better to clean the motherboard by blowing, and gently wipe the rest of the places where there is dust with a soft cloth. After cleaning, apply to the cooling plate new layer thermal paste and smooth it so that there is no gap between the joints. Now, in reverse order, you can assemble and connect all the devices. The laptop is like new again and ready to serve you for a long time.
In this article, we will show you how to clean the dust and replace the thermal paste in the cooling system of the Emachines E528 laptop. This will bring its operating temperature to normal values, which will normalize its performance and significantly extend its “life”.

PS
To consolidate the material, we suggest watching the disassembly of the Emachines e528 laptop in the video from our colleague:
One of the easiest laptops to disassemble (for example, to clean) is eMachines ( eMachines"it's a brand personal computers entry level, since 2007 company-owned Acer.), but still some attention and effort is required to apply to this process.
1. Disconnect the battery and unscrew all available screws holding the bottom cover. We remove the DVD drive.
2. We turn the laptop over and remove the keyboard, for which we carefully snap off the latches from the top of the keyboard (4 pcs) and on the sides (one on each side) of each side. After removing the keyboard, disconnect the cable that attaches it to the case.
3. Unscrew all available screws under the keyboard and disconnect another cable. Now you can remove the back cover, but I draw your attention to the place under the keyboard circled in red. This is one of the ways to cool chips (the keyboard is metalized from the bottom, and therefore it is a good heatsink), so don't forget to clean given place from dried thermal paste, and apply fresh when assembling.
4. Now you can safely remove the bottom cover. To replace the thermal paste and clean the fan, unscrew the heatsink (the screws are marked with red circles). If you need to completely remove the board, you will have to unscrew a few more screws (they are all easily accessible and do not pose any difficulties), as well as disconnect HDD and a cable that runs over the hard drive.
5. Having unscrewed the radiator, we clean and lubricate the fan. Carefully remove the dried thermal paste.
ATTENTION: when cleaning from dried thermal paste, we do not scratch either the copper tube, let alone the processors (we remove the thermal paste with a napkin dipped in alcohol without applying noticeable effort, especially on the processor (so as not to damage it))
Thermal pads (all four circled with one red line) are changed in case of obvious need.
Assembly is carried out in the reverse order, not forgetting to apply a fresh layer of thermal paste.
If you prefer to have your laptop cleaned by a specialist, then I will be happy to help you! Well, if you need Lenovo laptop repair, call and you will not be left without help.
