    Sorin, you are a LEGEND man......I borrowed a laptop from one of my friends to use it for my Final exams and the same fault occurred and i was very afraid. Upon seeing your video, i managed to fix it even though Am studying Accounting. I am currently doing my 3rd year at the university but from your videos, i can fix laptops and most of the students normally bring their laptops to me. You are a real blessing to those unfortunate ones and your skills and talents are from the Lord above.
    I pray that you will have good health help those unfortunate ones one way or the other.
    Thanks and regards from me all the way from Papua New Guinea.
    Again, I really appreciate your effort in this video.

    I wouldn't scrape the old thermal paste off the heatsink using a hobby knife as you can scratch the surface & thus reduce the heat transfer. 😉🤔😕
    Just use acetone to dissolve the hardened paste & clean/wipe it off.

    after 10 years I managed to fix my old laptop. I remember that time I took it to the man who suppose to fix it and he told me you need new motherboard since the problem is well known on Dell XPS laptop for the graphical card. so fortenatly I didn't get rid of it and today after seeing your videos Mr Sorin the legend on this category. I told my self why didn't give a try..and here we end by solving it and now I'm gona to upgrade the CPU, RAM and SSD hard drive and should be OK.. thank you Sorin again and appreciate the good lesson you are giving.

    Mine (not a dell) comes on , loads windows and browsers /programs etc, but within 30secs / a minute the fans go full blast and then it shuts down, also it can't see the gpu (inbuilt nvidia) so looks like a similar issue. It has an 8th gen intel chip so it runs initially on the inbuilt intel graphics.
    The thermal paste is also dry and powdery so I will try the same as you -
    do you recommend a particular thermal paste for maximum heat txfer?
    could it be a further component fault that is causing the temperature rise and shutting down access to the gpu , rather than the gpu being a problem? thx

    I worked on an M1330. Problem was bent CPU pins. One broken. Just got a new CPU. I rolled the dice with Ebay for $10. When the Dell runs for awhile the fan sounds like a Spitfire strafing Nazi ground troops! Its clean. Is that just the way it is? Customer says its always been noisy. It comforts her.🤔

    What if everything seems to be working fine, the system is booting to the log in screen etc., but as soon as I try clicking on it, or shortly after I log in to the system and start using it, it resets? My first thought was that it's overheating, but I replaced the thermal paste with a new one and same thing happens :q It doesn't seem to be overheating too, because the fan is idle most of the time and only boosting for a while just after turning it on and then settles down. It doesn't seem to get hot either.
    It had some power issues too for a while - the 3.3V power rail was missing, because the chip that drives the MOSFETs was missing the reference voltate 2.0V, and it didn't turn on at all - but when I started fiddling around it with the probes, it suddenly started working again :q Could this problem be related to it somehow? E.g. some bad junction around this chip causing the entire system to reset at random times?

    • @Marko_Djuricic
      @Marko_Djuricic 6 років тому +2

      Why don't you try the simple thing first? Clean install windows, then try the other things.. I had an issue with my screen (pink and green lines flickering all across the screen), I couldn't use the laptop.. It worked on hdmi on my tv so I got that it was either screen or cable.. I switched the screen to 40Hz and it stopped. After few months same thing but this time the solution didn't help, so I tried everything, I knew it wasn't windows because it was happening as soon as I press the power button, in BIOS also.. and after I almost ordered a new screen, I tried reinstalling the windows (when all hopes are gone you try the impossible) and guess what it worked.. windows is one terrible OS.. I still don't know how could windows do that, it doesn't make sense.. Also your problem sounds like software error to me because nothing happens untill you go into OS.. Try going into BIOS and leave it that way. If it doesn't turn off after like 20 min, it's probably windows. If it does then try putting a new HDD from another laptop.. If the problem persists then check ram..

    • @zyxnull
      @zyxnull 6 років тому +6

      There were several things to take into account to answer your quiestion: This is an old model, thermal paste on top of graphics chip was solidified because of normal use and old age, eventually the heat generated by the chip wasn't able to flow as supposed through the paste to the heat sink and it overheated, this constant heat/cold cycle affects the solder balls underneath the chip eventually disconnecting them or causing loose contacts (Cold Solder).
      With the help of the hot air the solder melts and completes the contact once again between motherboard and chip, next he'll replace the thermal past and it will work again until this cycle repeats.
      How long it will last depends on several factors:
      - Quality of thermal paste
      - Use
      - Condition of the soldering beneath

I tried to restart it, it booted and then, monitor again become dim. I shut it off and connected it to an external monitor and restart it. It booted, I can see in the laptop monitor and to the external monitor but when the laptop monitor goes dim, the external monitor also goes dim.This keeps happening until now.
    Sometimes I can use it all day long, watching movies in youtube, etc, seems nothing wrong.... What do you think is the cause of this problem?

Accidentally the open terminals of 5 v source touched the data lines of usb port and laptop shutdown. Whenever I try to restart, the fans spins at max rpm battery led glows and the power and WiFi lights turn on and the laptop shuts down after few seconds without any display.
