I found Junky DELL 5040 but I made DELL N5050 - Restoration

Hi everyone, thank you for 25:09 of your time. In this video I restore the Dell N5040, but at the end come out as Dell N5050. The difference is: Dell N5040 is 1st Gen and the N5050 is 2nd gen. I got N5050 motherboard because is fitting well in N5040 case, actually the case is the same and the N5050 motherboard was couple of bucks more, very small difference in price. The CPU which I used it is i7 2620QM, I install 16GB of RAM and I used 2 disks, SSD as Primary and HDD as secondary.

Well done. I watched a ton of videos about that and a lot of Andrew's. Last two weaks I upgraded my laptop with a 2nd SSD, 32 GB of ram, new thermal paste and cleaned it completely. Refurbished my old laptop, put 16 GB ram in, and gave it to my mom, and refurbished her old one. Ssd and 8 GB of ram. Now I will sell it for a bit of money. 150 € or something. I doubled the ram in all 3 machines, installed 2 ssd, and cleaned them all. That's so much fun, I don't want to stop lol!

[@gabriel.melnek]

I did a similar restauration on a Dell notebook from this gen, inspiring me in your job. I bought a Inspiron 15R SE (7520) for a very cheap price. The notebook had a i5 3210M, 6gb of RAM ddr3,1tb of HD and a Radeon HD-7730M (2gb of memory for dedicated graphics) and 32gb msata SSD. Also, the thing had a FHD display, backlit keyboard and SkullCandy audio speakers. Issues: the screen flex cable and the speakers (a pain, have to say) I switched the Core i5 for a Core i7 3612QM and 6 gb for 16gb of RAM, added a 256 gb SSD (sata) and a 2tb hard drive (replacing a DVD burner for a caddy, just like you dided in this video). The 32gb SSD msata used as cache for the HD (with Intel Rapid, works like a Optane that we know today). The speakers and the display cable I have switched too. Unfortunately not for the originals (Dell won`t manufacture this things anymore), but works just fine. As result, the notebook is really good, even today. Probably was a beast in his year, 2012 :)

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

That's Great Restoration and Upgrade, the R15 is still a great laptop and better than most of the new budget laptops

[@TheSpotify95]

Not bad at all -= personally I would go with mSATA as boot drive, rather than Intel Optane, then have hard disk or SSD as secondary storage and keep the CD-ROM. :)

I absolutely love that you rise up older tech for next life. It is ecological, also feels good and interesting. There are many uses for old laptops. I am all for recycling and reusing stuff even without thinking about "sustainability". I think this habit should be part of our daily livestyles. P.S. Do you flip this tech after restoring? People would probably buy them like hot cakes. P.S.S. Laptops like that are great for hidden object games!

I've done many a CPU/SSD/Wi-fi chip/Ram upgrade in laptops. Always worth doing if easy or well within your comfort zone. I do despair however, when you get laptops that in order to swap out the CPU you have to removed EVERYTHING. It's why I prefer using ex. corporate laptops. They are designed for easy repair.

[@vinaypundith2283]

As someone who does PC (especially laptop) repair and restoration too, I find your videos really nice. Nice to see what was otherwise gonna be put in garbage be turned back into working, shiny machines. You made a couple of mistakes, though: 1) The N5040 board supports 2nd gen Intel Core I series CPUs and the N5050 board supports both 2nd and 3rd gen. You said it backwards. 2) The CPU you used is a Core i7 2620M not 2620QM. 2620QM doesn't exist - Q in Intel's model names means quad core (generally), and the 2620 is dual core (as was said in the video). Why don't you sell what you work on? With how many you do and what a good job you do, you could make a good bit. I do the same - restore machines from e-waste and sell them on eBay.

[@vheisshu]

[@kztech1319]

One thing about Dell laptops is that if they come with generic AMI or Phoenix BIOS, they are most likely low end models and usually just break down if you try to restore it this way. You are lucky to get one with no stripped threads for example. Also those motherboards are poorly made and can fail quite often
