    I'm watching the video from that very same laptop! It is a VERY.HEAVY.TANK of a laptop, and even inside a bag a drop can damage the plastic body and rear cowling quite easily (believe me, I know), but otherwise, it has been my loyal steed for the past 7 to 8 years, and it is still going strong with minimal upgrades - it also sounds amazing with that subwoofer.
    Anyone looking for a backup PC for light gaming or home use (strictly home use, as it is quite heavy to lug around daily) can get this without a 2nd thought.
    Great video my friend, subbed instantly, the quality of your work and care for detail is really refreshing!

    @DannyTan6675 7 місяців тому

    I still think that speckled look looks like a worn out coating from an old pair of glasses, or that it's been baking in the sun too long and began bubbling up (read as "tacky as hell"). But personal paint tastes aside, appreciate the restoration work that you do to these laptops that would've been e-waste otherwise. Great job.
    Though seeing you use that lighter near sensitive electronics like a computer touchpad is giving me PTSD, like I'm waiting for a computer equivalent of the LiveLeak logo to show up.

I have installed manjaro on it and the temp are still reaching over 100 c when watching UA-cam and the gen 3 x4 SSD can't go over 900mbps. Dell's BIOS have no settings to toggle for the SSD, So I am getting a terrible performance as well as a terrible SSD speed. Tried replacing the SSD also (nothing changed speed is still the same). Service center didn't even open it and asked me to replace the motherboard, That's a little hefty cost to me. Can somebody help meee...........

    hey i love the videos . i wanted to do this kind of customization that you do for a very long time since i watched videos like the toshiba laptop and the xboxs on your channel , i have this same dell laptop with the 4k screen option but i got it in a poor condition , it was filthy and restarted when overheating so after cleaning it and washing it with warm water and dish soap it was clean . i did open the screen bazel and claeaned everything , after putting back together it was still restarting under any kind of stress , after a while i figured that it was a bios problem . i have some question i would you like to anwser if possible :
    1 : what is the max temp that your laptop reach when opennig the browser or discord (mine can reach the 90 ) and in games like gta v (mine can reach the 90' bad i know ) ?, because i used a chep thermal past i want to confirme it is the cause or this is the laptop normal operating temp .
    2 : i want to respray the case , somthing like the xbox 360 e or even like the alienware red and black you did (because i hate the texure of this pc especially with my sweaty handes and the degrading rubre is not a good mix) , that includes the display farme and top case , and what you would recommand to do on the top display bezel as it mad of rubber and it has couple of holes that are deep so it is not leveled with the back \ top case .
    3: i want to get the touchpad a glass feling like the xps latop series as this one is rought , what u would recommend
    4: i have a probleme with some keys not typing when trying to type fast , i mean i have to click a tiny bit extra bit to get them to work , do you think cleannig the keyboard the way you did will fix it
    5: whould you explain or link a video that explains these painting technincs and what paints i should use as i never done any painting job before and i want to do this on this laptop which my main machin + other consoles
    i hope you respond and sorry for this very long comment .

    • @ComputersAndTechAndAndrew
      @ComputersAndTechAndAndrew  7 місяців тому

      Hi bro, the temps are maybe because cheap thermal paste, some paste will dry much faster or maybe there is some air bubble between the heatsink and the chip/cpu/gpu.
      To spray paint the case it all depends of how the plastic texture is. Sometimes I spray base paint, then I do water sanding using 600 grid, then again one more coat and sanding with water but now using 800 - 1000 grid and then I do the final paint.
      ( anyway, now I prepare place where I can paint and record the process )
      The touchpad is little bit sensitive, I have done experiment with polishing the plastic, it's little bit hard but the touchpad has worked after that. But I'm not sure about different models, plastic textures, etc.
      And about the keyboard. You can try cleaning the keyboard, in many cases the dirt is the problem, but sometimes the key electronic starts to die and only way to fix it is to change the keyboard
