The hard drive cover appears to have two metal strips with screw holes and if so, then that is how a drive is attached, Dell have used that design on several laptops.

Linux Mint is my daily driver and it has been for several years, but I do have Windows 10 on an old HP USDT PC., and Windows 11 on a laptop just in case I need Windows for some task, I have found that Windows 11 works better if at least 16 gig of ram., is installed.

Ah, the good old day of Thinkpads. Where the screen bezel was not a damn sticker. I blame Apple for the woes of current machines. Thin, thin, thin above all. Then Intel for reducing the spec size for Ultrabook size.

I saw a whole lotta time -wasted- spent on replacing mildly corroded case screws but I musta missed the part where you replaced the _17 year old_ thermal paste... 🤔

If you were having trouble getting the drive wipe program to boot from USB, why didn'y you just burn a CD? The image fits nicely on CD and you have an optical drive.

there may be a couple people here that need to hear this: if you have an old lenovo and want to refurbish it, lenovo has excellent consumer-facing documentation for their computers. additionally, even if they don't sell the part themselves anymore, their parts catalogue is *also* consumer-facing, which is very useful in finding parts numbers if you have an old laptop and you don't know what to replace? 1, the battery. 2, replace that silly old spinning disk hard drive with an SSD. still crashing? run a memory test. (memtest). got errors in memtest? 3, replace the ram, run memtest again. still crashing? bad CPU. most of the time they're not replaceable, unlike this model laptop. >90% of the time that's all that's needed. everything else is just extra. I've repaired >2000 computers, it's not as hard as it may seem. good luck and try not to strip any screws

Tried refurbishing a t410, did not take anything. Ubuntu, Kali (old from 2019, new), our PXE server, Debian 11, Deb 12, Rocky Linux 8, Clonezilla, Athena OS, etc... on this thing. I re-set the RAM and Hard Drive, turned on and off most options in BIOS, you name it, I did more of it. Same results no matter what. I did get a Kali 2019 Live instance to work, but it was slow... install quit like the others 1/3 of the way through. So, ended up thinking it was hardware related. Wish I saw this video before dumping it, refurbish the screen or something with raspi idk. Great video, looking forward to more.

@RMoedoe 4 ай бұрын
I think theres alot of contenders for best and most durabile laptop ever made in that era Heck even the netbooks of that era of computers had more upgradablity than modern day laptops Rant time I bought an acer laptop for £12 ( can not remember the model for life of me) and pretty much everything on that machine was upgradeable. CPU,RAM,SSD,Disk drive, Laptop was dead sadly tried everything Reseating ram swapping cpus trying externel montior Doing a rain dance covering the laptop in holy water. Shame really. Its surprising how far we've come when it comes to laptops we've went from being able to upgrade the CPUS and GPUS in laptops to producing glorififed e-waste in not even a decade

I have a Latitude E5570 Core i7 - 6820 HQ 2.7 Ghz. 16 GB Ram AMD Radeon R7 M370. I purchased this refurbished. A year later I purchased a Dell Latitude 3520. Guess which one I like better? Latitude has gone downhill it seems the new one I have is nothing but a rebranded Inspiron. The Latitude E5570 is more like a Precision. I am running Windows 10 on both systems. I am not a big fan of Windows 11.

Old Dells never die they just sometimes need a few cheap parts. I have an XPS L521X still going which is around the same age as this I think with the 3rd gen i7, still has the best 1080P display I've ever seen. Replaced the keyboard and it made it feel like a new machine again :) The USB ports in this era all seemed to break in the same way, the centre plastic breaks in them. They're not so difficult to replace if you can solder since that's a USB 2.0 port on the side, not many pins. The 3.0 ones are a little more tricky.
