and this is prob his yt shopping list 1000 cpu's 20 rulers 1000000000 gallons of isopropyl a lot of laptop displays and 1000000 trashed laptops 1000000 more subs
bru he literaly post the same video all over again im not saying his posting bad content is quite good actually its just that its repeated a lot like cleaning a laptop or a pc or something well atleast he makes the vid alr
It's rather a standard issue sometimes. I find it hard to believe that MSI would of had those wires cross with the clips like that though. Looks like someone has been in the system before per the no hard drive mount for starters.
new subciber here, Im impressed that you can disassemble all the components without a manual. Its so entertaining to watch how you can revive broken laptops and doing some modification on it.
What a genius idea !! I had a slightly different specced model with the exact top cover and the exact problem...broken cover at the hinges. I could not discard the laptop because it was my first laptop. Now I know how to restore it. A billion thanks to Andrew.
Great job! I highly appreciate the "ruler" screen fix. Wish I had this idea for my 2007 Asus laptop which had a known failed screen plastic (it shattered almost on every machine)
Finally what I have been looking for. Videos with great simple mods and detailed teardowns and can't forget the cleaning too. I searched UA-cam for this kind a of content but couldn't really find just the right stuff. I just love what you do to those laptops\pcs etc. And I really enjoy how you clean everything. I kind a do the same too when cleaning very meticulous. Plus you have all the right tools. Brushes, brushes, brushes and lots of alcohol. Yep!. Keep it up and I will keep watching. Thank You and Stay Safe. from a proud Canadian.
These videos always put a smile on my face. Spreading good vibes to the world one laptop restoration at a time. Your content inspires on so many levels!
Thanks for everything man , i really enjoy what are you doing ,hope u see this comment. I do the same as you but in my country (Bulgaria) is not that interesting but i really enjoy to clean and fix stuffs i don't like that everything is going to trash because is broken... if u can fix it why not. Thanks for inspiration i start because of your videos!
I wish I could do this these are really cool videos. Been watching for 2 years your contents never changed always been great quality... well incredible quality keep it up!
Wow, this has been really nostalgic for me. The first laptop I owned was MSI GX600 which has almost identical chassis. The hinges on these laptops broke really easily and in general it was much more fragile than one could expect (for a while I actually did the same thing as you did in the video - switched the hinge brackets to upside down - it helped a lot). In the end I rebuild the whole laptop from scratch using a donor laptop. This basically made me strip it down to each screw and creating one computer out of two. Unexpectedly, it was great fun. Sadly I sold the laptop afterwards, I now wish I kept it.
For these devices, linux will be a great option especially that it has a wide variety of distro that can beautify the overhaul experience on older hardware. A side from that always a great vid buddy❤️
Didn't notice if you did, but the next time when you need to glue something I suggest for you to scratch up the surface so the glue would have more grooves to hold onto.
Realmente espectacular ese trabajo de restauración, me gusta tu forma de trabajar, muy prolijo y calidad técnica asombrosa. Felicitaciones y a seguir así.
firstly, let me just say dude i actually love your content its like watching ASMR if that makes sense makes me happy and relaxed and its sooooo satisfying I'd like to ask if it's possible to do something more recent model wise? like maybe a Lenovo ThinkPad restoration? they're cheap and well priced and reliability is amazing love the content , keep it coming :)
@@hitmebabyonemoretime7643 Hi bro, the SODIM stands for RAM which is made for Laptops or computers that use the same form factor of RAM. The SO in SODIMM stands for Small Outline, which means these RAMs are smaller. The DIMM stands for Desktop ram and for the standard size. You cannot use standard Side RAM in Laptop or DIMM to SODIMM because cannot fit in the port. But you can use SODIMM in DIMM OR Laptop RAM in Desktop computers but using Converter. I've have tried this but the performances are not really good for many tasks, but in many tests works the same. However, I always recommend to use parts for what are made, If something is for desktop then is good to be used on Desktop. If something is made for laptop than is good to be used on laptop
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew thanks bro. I've using and old laptop an Asus U82U. The existing memory is 4gb only and i decided to upgrade to maximum which is 8gb. It's difficult these times to find a ddr3 1333mhz 4gb ram for two slots since ddr3 are nearly obselete. Somehow i found ddr3 rams but 1666mhz and its DIMM. That us why im asking if i could use a DIMM ram on a motherboard that supports an existing SODIMM rams
Agreed with what you said I had MSI need work on was not power up before I go in to the laptop I watch disassembly how take this modal apart best way after watching more one video i can safely take it apart BTW Fix The MSI was not powered up the problem was do to a bad DC Power Cable
Hello sir ........ I just wnated to say thank you as by seeing some of your videos.....I was able to repair my laptop which had stopped working suddenly one day.......and saved myself 1000 rupees, which is around 15 dollars I think..........thank you very much......
I love this restoration man, i have an old Dell Laptop and with this, i'am tihinking to do something like this, Here are a new subscriber man. sorry for my english, i'am from chile.
Excellent video as always, the result was fantastic. I really like your videos, I know it's just a detail but you forgot to replace the thermalpads of the gpu memories. And this can lead to overheating problems.
@@PhoenixIgnition89 Totally agree, even a crap smartphone from nowadays can do more than this laptop which barely plays BF Vietnam from 2004, at least looked a bit laggy even though the video is also 30fps...
Really impressive restoration. Was really interesting to see how you reinforce the broken plastic since broken plastic pieces have always been a bane of mine. The red colour is not exactly my cup of tea and neither is carbon fibre texture however this is entirely subjective. What I am thinking about, however, where carbon fibre vinyl ends by the reinforcement, doesn't it leave an annoying edge? I wonder if vinyl could be wrapped around the plastic ruler end to give it more "natural" rounder edge? but in that case, have to ensure the paint reaches underneath the ruler enough so such wrap wouldn't reveal original colour. Either way, great work and I enjoyed watching it!
Andrew never ceases to amaze me with his imagination, innovativeness, creativity, cleanliness, system & organization, and generally high level of abilities.
Amazing video. After looking at many videos on your laptop I've decided to do some upgrades and repair my old laptop it has an i3 3rd gen processor. Will windows 10 run smoothly on old processor or should I install windows 7 ?
I use a core 2 duo like the one on this video... I recommend use at least 6 GB or ram... It's good for UA-cam Netflix and office in general... Even for zoom calls all on Win10
Didn't expect the ruler would ever come in handy lol now I know 😅
That is a really great and novel use-case, also, spraying it and then covering the ruler with carbon vinyl...brilliant!
His monthly shopping list must've been like:
1 pack eggs
1 bread
2 packets milk
1000 packets of cotton buds
1000 litres of isopropyl alcohol
L
And 1000 trashed laptops
I wasn't expecting that _read more_
Lol
and this is prob his yt shopping list
1000 cpu's
20 rulers
1000000000 gallons of isopropyl
a lot of laptop displays
and 1000000 trashed laptops
1000000 more subs
Other laptop repair shop: "We have to replace that laptop case. No way we can save it"
Andrew: "Hold my ruler"
it was a smart idea to do at the time but as someone who works at a repair shop, i'd rather give the customer a repair that isn't jank

This guy restores things in more detail than anybody else.
THank youuu bro :D
very nice content as always. I think you should give more highlights on before and after performance of the machine. Gamers loved that.
Using a plastic ruler to enforce the broken case is an absolutely genius idea! I didn't expect you'd cover it with vinyl sticker. A pretty cool hack.
Oh my god, that plastic ruler trick and the use of carbon vinyl cover is absolutely amazing. Well done!
Really love how creative this guy restores stuff. Continue uploading good content as always! :)
That’s unusual to see so many wires and cables in a laptop. It looked like a lot of work to refurbish, so nice work dude!
It's rather a standard issue sometimes. I find it hard to believe that MSI would of had those wires cross with the clips like that though. Looks like someone has been in the system before per the no hard drive mount for starters.

Love msi motherboards a lot but the logo on the laptop looks rather dum. Great job andrew, love to see these old PC's come back to life
Yeah we usually used to seeing the msi logo on gaming laptops. A friend of mine has a tiny msi laptop with an intel atom and it looks so weird
Your videos are very satisfying to me for some reason....keep uploading
amazing work ❤️
This beauty would go along Gentoo so nicely...
Fantastic job, and great idea(the ruler) to fix the damage hinges.
Nice restoration! That model does not use any kind of caddy for the HDD/SSD, it uses a piece of foam stuck between the HDD/SSD and the chassis!
Excellent video as always, the result was fantastic. I really like your videos, I know it's just a detail but you forgot to replace the thermalpads of the gpu memories. And this can lead to overheating problems.
