Refurbishing a laptop (Acer Aspire), Part 1

I walk you through refurbishing a laptop for resale. Disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly. Part 2 will be uploaded later, and will consist of loading the OS via Windows Deployment Services. Yes, I am well aware of my "umm" crutch when I monologue. Comments about it will be deleted and blocked from my channel.

Since I'm a novice, i would have to take a snapshot upon opening the case and before removing the motherboard. Yet short of actually doing it myself, I've found the video highly instructional.

Whatever works for you. That is a very good way to remember. I've done hundreds of teardown/clean/rebuilds on dozens of different models, and every one is a little different - every once in a while theres still a WTF moment where I have to really think about what was going through the engineers minds when they were designing it.. But I'm really good at puzzles, so even if I was just handed a box of parts and wasnt the one to tear it down, I can figure out how it goes back together.

Just aksing Is this how most companies refurbish their electronics or they go much deeper

[@MobileTaz]

It depends on the company. At the time I made this video, I had my own business doing computer repair in a small town. I developed a reputation in town and was retained by a local rent-to-own company to service their store computers and customer computers that were still being paid off, as well as refurbish computers that had been returned or repossessed for resale. Other companies with larger profit margins may automatically replace more parts, as I said this machine had little use, but in most cases I would also replace the fan and keyboard because they're usually pretty nasty and uncleanable. The battery may also be replaced if it failed a runtime test.

Why does this laptop look exactly the same as my Gateway laptop

[@oliverlaw1306]

i thought you will post part 2. good video to learn.

[@MobileTaz]

Sorry about the lack of part 2. The SD card in my camera died and I lost it. I don't do it much anymore, I have a new job and that takes priority, but if I have time I will make a couple more videos on deployment because I've gotten quite a few comments about it.

[@fcsantiel]

how much do you sell them for

[@maggieblyth2077]

you should have drained any energy left in the laptop after taking out the battery.

[@MobileTaz]
