you did it again andrew! amazing work as always and i love the fact that you take the utmost care in restoration and not just slap stuff together. It takes time and dedication to do this type of work, and i for one am glad that you are doing this.
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!
Old gaming laptops honestly is still a good desktop replacement PC, especially if you just need it for basic tasks. If you can get it for very cheap, it'll serve you for a long time
Du bist definitiv aus einem deutschsprachigen Raum. Hab ich an dem Prospekt gesehen, was Du aufgeklebt hast als Schutz. Da stand was mit Schnittlauch. :D Aber Du machst echt ein guten Job! Daumen hoch und vollen Respekt! :)
at 0:25 seconds into the video you say you reset bios and made some other tweaks. can you please explain those steps for resetting bios and steps for other tweaks, please?
An impressive well-done work. Btw for cleaning displays I use glass cleaner for windows (dunno if there is a Mac version). And for stickers there is a solution called Label Remover.
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.
Another awesome video! Going to do one of those keyboard repairs, if i use as glue an old key cap that i melt with soldering iron, would that be good enough?
Excelente trabajo como siempre, tengo un modelo similar la 7559 en ocasiones la batería carga y en otras no, cree que esté fallando el cable de poder? el cargador funciona correctamente en los voltajes de salida, gracias por su orientación.
it cant when put out nvidia sticker. after wash. then back put but cant. my laptop samsung r530. it running windows 10 by upgrade before win 7.. it was pull out windows 7 sticker later. i tried put back we cant placed. i just taped it lmao
Wanted to get this back in the day but settled for the 5576.. yea, it was pretty bad, however, it was a massive upgrade coming from integrated graphics
Excellent job as always, especially with the keyboard, those are really a headache. By the way, bro; could you spare some info of the vacuum cleaner you use?
Very good video as always but I suggest those who are thinking to get the Dell laptops for any category like for Gaming / Productivity because their machines are totally trash after 6 months of usage their machines making random issues like windows lagging & etc. So avoid getting this trash machines. or try to get gaming Pc / laptop from other brands like Asus / Lenovo / Acer or any other brands ! I have experience with dell laptops that's why sharing here
I have experience with Dell laptops, too, and can't speak for gaming ones as I can't stand them but the proper business and enterprise ones last 10 years or more... especially the older ones.
The Legendary Dell Pandora (at least that what it known in my country), the reason why I bought my Dell G3... until I realize... G3 is worse than the older / previous model lol Anyway good video, you did tell us how to do a deep cleaning for a laptop in a proper way.
I still have this laptop.. battery is still very good and everything works just fine.. I once needed to repaste it and really struggled with it cause it was my first time opening a laptop
Mine bought from 2018, 1 usb port broken, battery is unuseable and keyboard lost some key too but i plug it with a monitor and another keyboard. Still going strong in 2024 lmao 😢
Carbon fiber vinyl trackpad is horrible to use because of its rough surface. You can put another layer of sticker on it like the transparent one they put on Macs, just cut it up first.
My nokia n95 is not turning on, it has not been used for like 12 years, how can I identify the problem, is the battery very old or other parts don't work, idk. Please help!!
Hi I’m a long time follower and I would love a tutorial on how to change a keyboard with plastic rivets - I need to do it soon on my laptop. Thank you for the top notch videos!
I have a dell g3 15 3500 with I7 10750h and 1650. But the temp of the system is reaching 100c in idle in windows. 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...........
best part about this laptop is that with a switch of a motherboard u can upgrade to a 6 core i9-8950HK and a GTX 1060 and have official support for Win11
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 .
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
Dear sir, i have a Toshiba Satellite C50t-A and the monitor is cracked..Hoping for your advice if i can just install a normal screen instead of the digitizer?..It would be a 1st time for me to work on something like it..
this laptop was once my dream laptop during my university life. so memorable!
you know what, mine too :)
mine too
With a good configuration it still could work as ur dreaming laptop..!!
same but then I just scammed amazon over a rtx 4080 laptop...
Yah me too
this the channel that worked on repurposing laptop display from vague memory. Love your work and information presentation!
The battery is starting to swell up. That needs to be swapped out.
you did it again andrew! amazing work as always and i love the fact that you take the utmost care in restoration and not just slap stuff together. It takes time and dedication to do this type of work, and i for one am glad that you are doing this.
Exactly, and that's why we are following him, he knows what his viewers wants
Same here as well ❤

you always did a good job, i really love the restoration video esp about phone or laptop. keep up the good work Andrew!
Excellent job Andrew! 👏
Old gaming laptops honestly is still a good desktop replacement PC, especially if you just need it for basic tasks. If you can get it for very cheap, it'll serve you for a long time

I watched all the laptop repair videos, they are very enjoyable, I wish you more.
Nice restoration! As others have said, that battery is swollen and needs to be replaced. I like the matte black speckled paint finish!
This is craftmanship! Awesome job.
After a long time my fav bgm "Better of"...thanks andrew..love from Bangladesh
Amazing job as always. You are an Artist my friend 😘
The laptop looks amazing! I have one just like it, still works very well for the age. Great video!
at 0:25 seconds into the video you say you reset bios and made some other tweaks. can you please explain those steps for resetting bios and steps for other tweaks, please?
I really miss this content!!!! Thanks to you dude.
Hi Andew, Nice work as usual, keep going!
Back when this thing was new, I wanted to buy one as a student. Interesting to know that the rubber startet disintegrating after just 7 years
❤️❤️ Always love your job bro!
As always Great work Andrew Love from ♥️ 🇮🇳
nice also have the same laptop (but red color) ,also thanks do this video , i know what to do when needing to perform minor servicing on it ..
Excellent restoration! Partially inspired by your vids to make a restoration vid myself! ❤
another satisfaction over unboxing content, lit it up

Another awesome video!

Awesome restore and upgrade!
Excelente trabajo como siempre, tengo un modelo similar la 7559 en ocasiones la batería carga y en otras no, cree que esté fallando el cable de poder? el cargador funciona correctamente en los voltajes de salida, gracias por su orientación.
Love your work !!
Wash thermal pads? - Don’t do this, just replace with new ones!
I didn't have good ones for these models, it's better to wash these original pads than using some new and bad pads
Amazin work bro.
Great work Mr. isopropyl alcohol!!
Excellent job!
which products do you use to clean the screen?
great video!
Amazing Video, I hope I can fix the laptop like you are 👍🏻🔥
I really enjoy watching your videos, very detailed and satisfying
Outstanding!
exellent work bro !
Amazing work
Awesome job!!
But I wish you could just forget that textured droplet painting effect. Looks like when a drink spilling on it.
This is very good restoration.❤❤❤❤
Probably, still gazillion times better than PCs at school
It's crazy to see how this thing's performance is now being competely destroyed by the handhold pc with apu
a few weeks ago i disassembled same model laptop. it was perfect but it has too much problems. nice machine but it contains too many problems
Great job! Btw you forgot to put back the NVIDIA sticker on it
it cant when put out nvidia sticker. after wash. then back put but cant. my laptop samsung r530. it running windows 10 by upgrade before win 7.. it was pull out windows 7 sticker later. i tried put back we cant placed. i just taped it lmao
That's my exact laptop having used for 6 years, except mine is i5 model. Now one of the RAM slots died.
Wanted to get this back in the day but settled for the 5576.. yea, it was pretty bad, however, it was a massive upgrade coming from integrated graphics
Excellent job as always, especially with the keyboard, those are really a headache. By the way, bro; could you spare some info of the vacuum cleaner you use?
Great job!😊
Bi am useing the same laptop right now no issues at all
Least this laptop is fully functional and nice video
I daily drive a Dell XPS 9750 with an i7 8750hq, GTX 1050ti, and 16gb RAM. Very similar to this. Still a great daily machine with a new battery.
Very good video as always but I suggest those who are thinking to get the Dell laptops for any category like for Gaming / Productivity because their machines are totally trash after 6 months of usage their machines making random issues like windows lagging & etc. So avoid getting this trash machines. or try to get gaming Pc / laptop from other brands like Asus / Lenovo / Acer or any other brands ! I have experience with dell laptops that's why sharing here
I have experience with Dell laptops, too, and can't speak for gaming ones as I can't stand them but the proper business and enterprise ones last 10 years or more... especially the older ones.
@@FlyboyHelosim Ya in business their laptops works good idk how but other categories their laptops are totally trash .
OMG I HAVE THIS SAME LAPTOP AND DID THE SAME DID. it would just start up and max the fans and not turn on
In most cases the problem is the CMOS or maybe bad battery ( power battery ) or charger, rarely when the problem is coming from the hardware
The Legendary Dell Pandora (at least that what it known in my country), the reason why I bought my Dell G3... until I realize... G3 is worse than the older / previous model lol
Anyway good video, you did tell us how to do a deep cleaning for a laptop in a proper way.
I still have this laptop.. battery is still very good and everything works just fine.. I once needed to repaste it and really struggled with it cause it was my first time opening a laptop
Great video!!!
i wouldnt say that is an old laptop, it's reallygood by today still
Well saved!👍👍
Mine bought from 2018, 1 usb port broken, battery is unuseable and keyboard lost some key too but i plug it with a monitor and another keyboard. Still going strong in 2024 lmao 😢
Great job 👍👍 ...but Why is the paint looking bubbly? also, did you peel all that rubber off? and how? i have the same bad rubber skin problem.
Do more vidéos i love it ❤
to remove sticky softtouch (like on old ibm laptops), use dimexide (dimethyl sulfoxide). This is an excellent tool. it is sold at the pharmacy.
The Legend Dell Pandora 🤩
Very good work.
It is safe to remove the battery (built in battery laptop) and plug it directly into the outlet?
Man you dont know how much I missed this background music 😅
You can also use a soldiering iron to melt the plastic to remove the keyboard instead of cutting it, and then you can melt it again to replace it.
Do u have any course on how to test and fix laptop problems? If not why don't u publish one
I will bro
I love your videos, but sometimes UA-cam doesn't let them load properly, greetings from Chile
Bro that laptop can still be a good gaming machine, just upgrade the ram and change the HDD to a ssd
what's the liquid you used to clean the screen please ?
i'm going mad because of the dirt on my screen!
and really good job there .
Carbon fiber vinyl trackpad is horrible to use because of its rough surface. You can put another layer of sticker on it like the transparent one they put on Macs, just cut it up first.
My nokia n95 is not turning on, it has not been used for like 12 years, how can I identify the problem, is the battery very old or other parts don't work, idk. Please help!!
That's one spicy pillow you just puted back
Thanks for your work, could you consider a video about your paint method
you rock, awessome.
Hi I’m a long time follower and I would love a tutorial on how to change a keyboard with plastic rivets - I need to do it soon on my laptop. Thank you for the top notch videos!
9:48 : No problem in this case... *But you do have a problem in that case* ... thought i'd point it out just in case 😂
u made a video the way i used to clean up laptops 😇😇👍👍
Well done, sadly you didn't wash the motherboard, if you did, it would be much much better, keep up the good work
muy buenos videos gracias por compartir
Wish you could release more videos! 😊

Andrew, are you from Germany? Would love if you have a meetup for fans of the channel. I am in Munich.

Dear cat and aAndrew how do you add. A gpu to a hp labtop I am getting one for my birthday and I don't now how I would connect it ❤❤
You´re the best.

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
