Restoring and upgrading low specs AMD HP ProBook laptop

[@rogeeveanderson8530]

I hate to see tech go in the garbage. You do real good work Andrew. I honestly can’t see why someone would dislike this video. Keep up the good work. I’ve been learning a lot from you 💯

[@juanignaciodominguez5902]

I like how you revive those oldie machines and give them a second chance.

Im a HP certified tech. Looks like the motherboard was replaced and whoever replaced it did not finish branding it. My hat is off to you for getting HP to assist with getting the DMI programmed on that laptop. You have done everything I have always been curious about, very good video my friend and you just got a subscriber. Those old HP EliteBooks are tanks and perform fairly well considering their age. I had an EliteBook 8470 until a few months ago, I upgraded (sorta) to an EliteBook 9480 which is a lot smaller and newer but not quite as powerful.

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Thank you for subscribing and supporting me :) It was a little bit hard to find all tools and right guide to fix the DMI but not impossible :D

[@ajfromca]

@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Yep, very much so. I use HP's self maintainers support line often enough and getting the right answers when you know what you are asking for can be hard enough. You went in knowing nothing and got what you needed, that is nothing short of impressive.

[@hikaru_e]

I bet that every seller you got a laptop from will definitely want it back, you are really doing awesome job :)

[@wertiadreams7949]

Probook even without upgrades were workstations and were decent even by today's standards. Sellers sold at market

[@EB-xp2mz]

You inspire me everytimes. I thought that since you replaced the display and you had access to the inside of the case, you would have tried to fix that ugly dent. Maybe using the wonderful carbon-like adhesive paper!

The laptop is pretty powerful especially after the upgrade. You could play Doom and Overwatch with medium setting at repectsble FPS. I have an Acer 5560G with AMD A10 and 2gb radeon graphic card and I could play stuff like Skyrim and StarCraft 2 on high setting all day. Do be wary with thermal issue tho. People call them "housefire" for a reason. Regular cleaning, using high quality thermal paste and laptop fan is recommendable

[@BlazeElPadrino662]

Cool! I've just found a local deal on a batch of 5 of these laptops but with an A8-4500M and wondered if they could be worth buying. Nonetheless I find that even upgrading them to an A10 they cannot run Fortnite properly. Don't get me wrong but those frame sttuters mean you cannot engage other players effectively.

[@skyediann3399]

The 4600M uses the FS1 socket if memory serves, with the A10 5750M being the best CPU for the socket, but I never see it getting used, ususally opting for a A10 4600m instead. I'm aware the 5750M is ARM based, making it already less desirable, but is there any other reason this CPU isn't used?

[@garymorris6835]

because it doesn't say that it's supported directly on the service manual for this laptop. even if it fits perfectly in the socket the chipset may not support it and would require you to desolder it off

Hi bro, mostly these laptops already belongs to someone, I just take, repair, restore, upgrade and return. But if I'm going to buy some laptops then first I'm searching the local computer stores that sell used computers because there is easy to negotiate for the price, I'm checking the local websites or pages where peoples sell their old stuff ( in almost any country or town you can find some Facebook page or local based websites where peoples sell some stuff ). The other place is eBay, on eBay you can make good deal also, find something with normal price and parts. And I'm using Aliexpress, on Aliexpress you can find parts with normal and lower price
