Excellent as always, thanks. We are waiting for the cleaning of more modern computers.

[@french.satisfactory]

Yeah... this is really the most complicated part of this channel. Finding interesting PCs for a deep cleaning. That's especially the case for more recent ones. I guess it would be easier if I can have more people in the French Satisfactory community, but yeah... for the moment findings PCs is so time consuming 😬 I will try other ways to find modern PCs, like asking people in my region on tech forums or something like that. I'm corking on it 😅 Thanks fo your comment Comrade ❤️❤️

[@DIPPY16]

Old school Dell Optiplex. Nice. I got a couple of these in my company - cleaned one of them thoroughly recently. A huge pain taking out the motherboard.

[@french.satisfactory]

Yeah you are right DIPPY about the motherboard! was not so easy 😅

[@kunka592]

16:42 looks like a capacitor fell off in the PSU. Maybe that's what's causing the aux power error? Also, you can probably wiggle the IDE cable off, no need to go medieval on it with the tools.

[@french.satisfactory]

That was just the plastic cover of one of them. But I was able to find some bulged capacitors in the PSU while cleaning it. So I'm thinking about try to change them or just buy another PSU. I have to think about this for the "repair and upgrade" video. Hope you enjoyed this episode Kun Ka! Thanks for your comment ❤️❤️

And yes, I broke it 😂 and you are the 1st person who told me that ✌️ Thanks for your comment @Clee_f glad to know you enjoyed watching this old video ❤️

[@rgf1234]

Always enjoying your videos. These are very satisfying! Please carry on :-)! One suggestion: I've noticed that you are typically working on very old PCs (10+ years). What about restoring and upgrading fresher models that are today still really usable? Afterwards you might donate them to schools or other institutions and achieve additional benefit.

[@french.satisfactory]

Thank you very much for your comment JOS-HH! If clean these old computers it is mainly because of that I try to find PCs with enough dust so they are interesting to clean for the channel. As you can imagine, older computer are ofter dirtier. Added to that, it is way easier to find PCs like this, even if it take me lot of time to do so. Be sure about that one of my goals is to find newer PCs pretty quickly. I have some ideas for that, just have to find them. Thanks again JOS-HH ❤️❤️

pas mal ! attention toutefois avec les gants en plastique : risque d'electricité statique ! pour l'alim j'ai vu deux condensateur gonflé donc suspect !! ne pas oublier de remettre la pate thermique sur le processeur et le chipset la, je n'en pas vu ! je pense que le soucis vient de l'alim j'ai regardé dautre video avec les même symptome et le remplacement des condos defectueux et ou le remplacement de l'alim peux solutionner le soucis....

[@french.satisfactory]

Quel timing Père Fouras! En réalité il y avait 5 condensateurs gonflés. J'ai remplacé le dernier il y a 5 min. Par contre OMG! j'ai tellement galéré à les remplacer. Mes soudures ne sont pas au top. ça fait un baille que je n'ai pas utilisé de fer à souder... et à ce qu'on m'a dit, un remplacement de compensants électronique dans des ordinateurs, c'est la galère. Je confirme. Enfin bref, je m'apprête à appuyer sur le bouton d'allumage... on croise les doigts 😅 Le résultat au prochain épisode 😉 Merci à toi pour ton commentaire au fait ❤️

[@s0mb100]

In the end I was able to remove the front cover, although I find it annoying that everything is so small and uncomfortable, although the top and bottom covers do have me confused, although it is not necessary since I washed it with soap and water, but taking advantage of the climate in Uruguay lately I will leave it for a couple of days to dry and that's it, hahaha.

[@french.satisfactory]

Yeah I get it. Just be sure everything is 100% dry. water can stay here and there even after a long time. I usually use an hairdryer to finish properly that step. Don't hesitate to give me some updates. I would love to know if everything was fine ✌️

[@s0mb100]

How did you manage to remove the top and bottom covers? I don't see any way to open it, I've already tried with a test box xd

[@french.satisfactory]

Hey @s0mb100 sorry for this late reply, I was in vacation 😅 This video is pretty old, but I rewatched it and as I remember it was pretty easy. For the top cover, I just had to pull on an opening mechanism. But I guess you could have a lock you should be able to unlock in the bios. I don't remember I had to remove any bottom cover, and I can't see that in the video 🤔

[@mihaillevarda9395]

these beep codes may be cpu related, or board related if the ram is working

[@french.satisfactory]

I was not able yet to find the beep codes table of this motherboard online. If you found something I would love to have the link. But I found some bulged capacitors in the PSU and there is a "AUX_PWR" written close the turned on motherboard red led. So it is highly probable the issue come from this. The thing is, it's a particular PSU so I was not able to test with another one. So... I have to thing about replace these capacitors or try to find another PSU. Hope you enjoyed the video Mihail and thanks for your comment and advices ❤️

[@french.satisfactory]

Of course you can make recommendations. I did so much improvements in my cleaning process and video editing thanks to such comments. In fact, I already use isopropyl alcohol (on mine it is written 99,9% BTW), but not since the 1st video. So it's hard to say at what video I started to use it. In fact I started to used WD40 also since 2-3 videos for some things. Thanks for your comments SnowKittyPro, and don't hesitate if you have any other suggestions or advices ❤️

Hi again, just had simple idea for: Do you do any marketing on your RL part ? Like put out flyers in your local stores, they usually have billboards right ? "I CLEAN, repair, optimize computers DIRT cheap" Get it ? Gotta use the joke wordplay xD Whats DIRT in French ?Use your local language ofc. Make them come for you, can easily get computer per day. I just got outta business college few years ago, thinking about studying into marketing now. Marketing stuff i can work at home.

[@french.satisfactory]

Hey Manuel, Sorry for my late reply! I don't know If you saw it on the community tab, but I got sick the last days and take me a bit long to answer all the messages à received 😅 I already had in mind a marketing sentence, but didn't really used it yet. The sentence is "Making dirty things satisfying". What do you think? I will probably use it more the next weeks in my Instagram and KZbin post. But don't know yet exactly in what way. What do you mean by "your local stores"? I'm not a store owner. Added to that, I don't want to make too much communication effort on the French Market, because I'm afraid about that KZbin stop to give to this channel less traffic from all over the world. But you are right about that I should make relationship with companies to find computers. I have now 2.8K subs which give me enough authority for that. Thanks for your comment Manuel ❤️
