Retro Laptop Restoration - Acer Travel Mate 2300

[@nahpets2345]

I felt in love with older computers especially when restoring them. Amazing restoration as always Andrew!

Thank you bro 😊

omg this is my dad's laptop when I was little. I used to play c&c red alert😭

[@coltcampbell8502]

That’s my favourite game to this day! I started to play when I was 6 and now I’m 15 and it’s the best game ever!

[@sirtanon1]

An older laptop that most people would almost certainly have just thrown away, but you've given it new life and made it completely one-of-a-kind. Love the final look.

[@nephtyss6669]

Thank you bro 😊

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

I didn't plan that but this music just fits great with that game :D

[@CharlieReds]

That's and old gem of tech that must be preserved well, nice vid!

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Thank you 😊

I've recently discovered this channel, I love to see old computers being restored, the only thing that left to do for those old hardwares is to update from old windows to some lightweight linux

[@interferret901]

Honestly, sometimes I have trouble understanding you, but your channel is amazing, your English is wonderful, and you've taught me a thing or two when I do my own laptop restorations here and there. Thank you for this great content!

[@jerlang09]

I felt watching a documentary with a narration like that, very calm and easy to follow

[@Kulhalhalvorsen]

Brings back memories. My first laptop, it was so slow, but it was nice to get a laptop in a age of 11 years old. Also my first windows xp computer, so cool, probably the best version of windows :)

[@crazyfurnaceguy1229]

This laptop's shape looks like Aspire 1650. It remind me of my childhood !😀

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Very similar, btw I think i have one 1650, not working, but i will try to repair and make video about

I like how you always start with cleaning process, it’s a positive way of saying that you will really restore it or there’s a great chance of restoring it.

[@RetroAlphaTech]

What a nostalgic! I had one of these laptop back in the days...and I can't remember how much time I spend with it playing Simcity 4 and few other games.. Awesome!

[@elfedorausado]

That looks beautiful, my friend. One question, would it be recommended to add a coat of sealant to the painted areas? So as not to rub paint off in high-contact parts like the palm rest

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Thank you bro 😊 Actually I used high quality sprays, these sprays are made to take on heat, cold, bad weather and hard to scratch. Also before painting I spray the parts with additional spray that makes the painting after more durable, between the layers I also wait 6h-8h until one layer is completely dry. It's a slow process but the paint is much more durable

[@elfedorausado]

After watching this video, I want to install Windows XP in one old 2007 laptop that I have lying around 😂 I think I like these videos so much because it’s a pleasure to see someone giving some attention to old tech 😄

I really love it more when you add your art to your restoration like those sprays. Even as simple as applying vinyls, it will look very nice.

great job on the restoration, window XP is truly an iconic os from the past

[@abirahmed1292]

That was my first computer, I still have the manual and it's written Travel Mate 2200 - 2700, I found this video based on that info. Nostalgia :( So many memories with this computer :')

[@abbasch302]

Thanks Andrew for one more video. Coincident is that I bought same model 3 days ago from local auction, but it was in working condition.

[@laurensnieuwland4657]

May I give you some advice? Try to make the fade-in/outs and fadeover of the music and your voiceovers more subtle, by making them longer and slower. It makes your video's look even more professional.

[@ToTo-ge9ub]

love the channel. Love to see what old laptops can do in 2020 :D Keep doing it!!

[@omari285]

I found my uncle's computer and it was an acer TravelMate 4100 when I watched this video this laptop has the exact design.

[@saravanabaskaranrajeswari3439]

The video is really great, try to maintain the first BGM throughout the video as it has become a unique one that suits all your videos perfectly.Try some other BGMs as well,lets see which suits your videos the most. You can include the footage of painting the case of the laptop, that would have made the video look more interesting. Keep it up... Love your work, I appreciate it, keep doing more videos. Waiting for your next upload 😊.

[@utakatikmobil]

this looks just like my first laptop (travelmate 4000) with pentium M 1.70 and ati radeon 9700 64mb. back then it costs a fortune but it plays any game in high graphics in 2005. design was nice and i love the curved keyboard. wish newer laptop had these.

[@cybergrand1021]

You are a great IT man. I love to watch your videos.

[@majidalikhan5978]

I would avoid painting the silver part of the upper case also, those help dissipate heat

[@CharlieQ7400]

Impressive work , note that it's very hard finding replacement drives the only way to get more storage in there without getting rid of the dvd player is by modding a small form factor msata ssd into an adapter to that , i never seen this happening before , but might be good after such modding and upgrades for a Linux machine or even a retro Original Windows xp for games , Using external peripherals for the best experience and Vga adapter if you don't have an old screen , even crt would be cool ..

[@StaticVapour590]

One thing you should do in your videos is to make the background music same level all the time and by that i mean drop it's level -6dB so that it doesn't always blast when you stop speaking. When you speak, cut the background music volume down by -3dB (now it's -9dB) and when you finish speaking, raise it +3dB

[@hugosimoes5119]

The content of the video is okish but it's advised to not wash metals like copper and iron because copper will turn darker due to oxidation and iron sheet at the bottom or top will oxidate and will corrode and bits will land inside of the laptop. Your engish still needs a lot of work. The corrusion on the motherboard is to be cleaned and then motherboard goes to oven for a low temperature to remove any humidity and then the parts that were with corrusion to be painted by a polish ink like nail polish to prevent the ongoing corrusion.

[@elfedorausado]

"your English still needs a lot of work".. As do your manners. I did not realize this was a channel with a main focus on oratory skills and language proficiency. (Edit): I have checked your channel, and have but EIGHT subscribers to boast about. And every comment you post on this channel has been demeaning Andrew for his accent. That's textbook envy, man! Grow some manners, and build a better channel yourself, instead or belching criticism on this man's great work.

Can you give me any suggestion on how to repair it? And also the Three LED indicator is not working as the ribbon cable is damaged. Give some solution. By the way, your restoration videos are really very good. I watch them when you upgrade some of these computers and restor them. YOU ARE ALSO A VERY GOOD GAMER, I THINK.

[@Corristo89]

Really cool what you managed to get out of this old notebook, but I persoanlly don't think that notebooks with hardware pre- Intel Core i5 2xxx are worth restoring to such a degree.
