The Teclast F7 has a nice design and appearance, but the price is very low. To further understand the quality of the F7, I disassembled this product. It can be seen from the disassembly pictures that the battery occupies a very large space. The motherboard is very small, and there is no space to use in the interior. Although the overall appearance is slightly rough, the workmanship is far superior to laptops priced around CNY 1000.
The Teclast F7 uses 64GB of flash memory as its main storage device. Compared to mechanical hard drives, its performance is significantly improved, but it still cannot match that of SSDs, especially in terms of write speed. Therefore, the F7 reserved an M.2 2242 slot for users to upgrade to an SSD.
Remove the screw and open the back cover. There are some clips on the back cover. Teclast also carefully prepared some warning messages to avoid the possibility of burning the laptop when installing the SSD.
It does not use a cooling fan to dissipate heat and only uses a copper sheet to cover the processor and memory. However, based on my test results, its cooling performance is quite excellent.
Thanks for your information.
Do you believe a Samsung 961 series will fit the plastic shape?
I’m sure it’ll drastically change the machine if we can install the OS on it.
Samsung 961 does not fit the laptop. The laptop is only compatible with a 2242 SSD.
Hey, I have a problem with my Teclast F7, and I need to replace the LCD. Is it possible to disassemble it without damaging the vessels?
Hi,
If your Teclast display doesn’t turn on at the start, even with the blue light blinking, don’t bother replacing the screen.
Check it via an HDMI external display (a TV set) before and test if it works.
If yes, it could possibly be a MOBO problem. Don’t waste your money and just toss it in the bin.
Is there any information on how to disassemble the screen? I have to replace the LCD, but I don’t know how to open it without damaging the metal vessels.
Thank you for the info.
Hi,
Where do you buy the Teclast F7 LCD?
Thank you
Hello.
I know it’s been a long time since your comments, but I am looking for a spare Teclast F7 motherboard (mine died a few months ago, and I’d like to fix the laptop and give it to my daughter).
If one of you still has this laptop and cannot replace the LCD, would it be possible to buy its motherboard from you?
Thanks. Regards.
How can I upgrade my RAM on the Teclast F7 Plus?
How can I upgrade the RAM on this laptop? Where is the RAM located?
Its memory is soldered to the motherboard, so you cannot upgrade or replace the memory.
Hi, thanks a lot for the guide.
Can you do a guide on changing the battery for the last F7?
My battery died, and I’m scratching my head to replace it.
Thanks.
Can I replace the motherboard? My F7 is unable to turn on. When I plug in the charger, there is a buzzing noise from the motherboard. I think the motherboard has an issue.
You can repair this motherboard. Of course, if you have a spare motherboard, you can use it to replace the current one.
Any idea on where to get a replacement motherboard? Do you have the part number?
Thanks!
I’ve just replaced the stock 128GB Teclast SSD with a Transcend MTS430S 128GB. I must say I do believe it’s faster than before.
I did wonder if the model I have actually has 2 x M2 ports. I opened the unit to try to see if there was one on the motherboard tucked away, but I could not find it.
Is there any chance to replace the LCD in my F7Plus? I broke it, and I’d like to replace it. I’m using the PC via HDMI to an external monitor, and it works well, but I’d like to replace it with a new LCD. Do you know where to buy the spare LCD? And how to replace it (disassemble the old one and replace it with the new one)?
Thank you
Fabio
Hi, I need to replace the keyboard on my F7. I have dismantled it, but the keyboard seems to be held in place by a cage, which is stuck to the chassis by molten plastic tabs. Is there any easy way to access the keyboard and remove it, please?
You will need to purchase a soldering iron to melt these plastic anchors. You can easily remove the keyboard once all the anchors are melted.
Hi, I need to replace the power jack. Do you know where I can find it or the part number?
