This Dell laptop was Dropped Badly

[@GRANNATETYY]

How people treat thier stuff like that , i have a laptop that is like 14 years old and is in very good condition if we do not talk about the keyboard that needs replacing

[@beast_boy_Khanna]

I also have in 22 year old laptop but I sadly don't use it now cause it got hacked I don't know how

[@Adam-vj7mn]

Same but it needs ram

[@Adam-vj7mn]

​@@beast_boy_Khannaremove the hard drive from your laptop put it inside another desktop that someone in your family has then formatt it then you will download windows 10 on it that's easy

[@GRANNATETYY]

@@beast_boy_Khannaman thats super bad hope none of ur info have been stolen, its hard to make older laptops or pcs to get internet or try to update them

[@Sireoja]

​@@beast_boy_Khanna reinstall the os and it should be up and running. Also if it's slow you can try to upgrade to an ssd.

[@fernandocaballero5102]

dude i love the way you paint the cases in your videos it gives an amazing finish!

[@shigutso]

My old Dell laptop from 2013 had the same issue with the rubber. I searched online for a solution but never found one, so I just used a plastic knife and removed all the sticky rubber. The laptop feels much better now! Oh, and as a suggestion, you should start installing Linux on those old laptops you restore... I think the experience will be better! It's not difficult to use nowadays. Windows 10 uses too many resources of these old laptops and using a lightweight Linux distro will probably make the laptop faster and more reliable. Many games are also available and work just fine, thanks to Valve and the Steam Deck :) Cheers!

[@sumilj.2962]

Nice work Andrew!👌🏿

[@TheSpotify95]

Nice restoration, only things I'd have done differently is added a second 2.5in disk for data and replaced the damaged bezel with a new one. Btw... the second slot next to the Wi-Fi slot can take either mSATA SSD or WWAN (3G/4G card). Given that most WWAN cards are either 3G (obsolete) or basic 4G cards (single channel only), it is probably wiser to go with the mSATA SSD option. You can always use Wi-Fi Tethering if needed, anyways!

[@DrJohn123]

I'm impressed with the level of care you handle these old laptops! Be careful with static electricity: The felt mat, the vacuum cleaner brush and micro fibre cloths can easily charge up statically and destroy some chips on the motherboard (this once happened to my old laptop).

[@OMBEWSSS]

yesssss we need more andrew and cat video, i cant eat my meal without ur videos

[@mrdorkomatic]

Great job as always Andrew! Nice little laptop, for some reason, I really like the design of those hinges, they look so neat! 3:56

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

Funny that you talk about the things we had in 2012 : I actually still use to this day my Core i7 3770K on its Asus Maximus V Extreme and 32 BG of DDR3 1866 MHz 😁. I use it with an RTX 3060 12GB and I still get 75 fps on Cyberpunk 2077 @ 1080p nightmare settings + RTX ultra. This thing is a beast. I'm moving to another CPU next month (possibly a 7900X) but this CPU will forever stay close to me 🥰

[@sergiolopes3417]

So satisfactory see some work and patience to fix all that broken parts, and taking all computer Back to work.

[@jeanislem1609]

Amazing restoration

[@col.billkilgore4341]

The best laptop and PC repair and customization videos here on YT are from your channel. Very good work! Do you refurbish these computers for resale or do you just do technical repair work?

[@jozsefizsak]

That's a nice resurrection! 2012 was a special year, in part because we got USB3. My main computer is a Z77 with a Xeon which is still a powerful beast to me because I'm not a gamer and for everything I do there has been no need to upgrade. It's been pretty good value as a result! 😉

[@compteutilisateur2477]

Good job Andrew ! Your channel is one of my favourite

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]

thank god this machine is still working sir

[@bishopA5]

You did a very nice job with this unit.

[@omarfmarquezs]

Great work Andrew

[@sumilj.2962]

Hello Andrew! What is the best laptop cpu for intel hm 70 chipset?😅

[@CarlosHernandez-kn4xk]

The Hd 7870 ghz edition was the best. That card lasted me for almost 6 years before needing to upgrade.

[@Octothorp3]

the thumbnail looks like they dropped it and it fell apart like a lego set

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

From one side it was, but I have seen worse :D even once I got PC ( for data backup ) soccer team lost and the guy threw his PC from the 5th or 6th floor :D

[@Adam-vj7mn]

I have an idea you should buy a old good looking mini laptop like Samsung 305u1a then put the Ryzen 3 small motherboard from another laptop then buy 40pin to 30pin display converter and try to connect the Samsung keyboard and touch pad to the new motherboard and many things it would be an amazing powerful mini laptop and good looking

[@aldwinpanny10]

This laptop is identical to one of my old friend and former enemy named NewSpiderBoy's laptop. But it's an Dell Inspiron 15r and was running Windows 8. But, He's been inactive since Spring of 2014 and He's from Turkey.

[@saladfox]

I have one of these kicking around. It needs a battery and it's missing the memory cover on the bottom, but it does seem to work. Maybe I should fix it up?

[@guaiqueritech]

Give it a go. These laptops can be surprisingly useful still.

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Yes you can bro, just not worth to pay too much for old stuff

[@saladfox]

@@guaiqueritech Oh I know, I've probably fixed many laptops this one before. I was just apprehensive because I couldn't find the parts for it. Guess I'll keep looking around, they'll show up sooner or later.

[@dezhocob]

Very nice restoration, so sad that people discard percectly functional tech just because it is old!

[@josecespedes4551]

Once again: GREAT VIDEO!!! Best wishes from Panama 🇵🇦

Thank you bro :)

[@ahmedshehatah1822]

WOW 😲😲 What a transformation However, I have a question, this burnt spot on the touchpad, Is there any solution ever for it ? Keep it up Andrew and good luck

[@josiedersouza4222]

[@CorrichetiLagga]

what do you mean?

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

I'm here bro, feel free to share, what and where do I need to change? I know, last time I don't have some good tech to restore, it's hard to find something that really needs to be restored

[@dylanlindsay1993]

I have a Dell laptop very similar to this! I have the Dell inspiron 5720 which is basically the same laptop except its 17 inch instead of 13 inch... mine is the same color too! I got mine at a thrift store for 40$

[@leangxd]

good stuff man

[@coolrift8934]

Hey Andrew, have you thought of doing a project about turning an old computer into a server?

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Yep, something like home server

[@suleimanshukri422]

High quality videos i ever come across

[@maurosantos666]

Another beautifull work!

Use a toothpick to clean the CPU capacitors. You may knock something if you use a large tool.

[@bokexd3173]

Речь про игры - супер. Просто раньше руководство компаний, создающие игры частенько слушали ведущих гейм-разработчиков, боялись за репутацию. А сейчас "умное", жадное, алчное подчиняется маркетологам, которые сулят только - деньги. Репутация мало кого волнует.

[@kcdtran]

I will never know what had happened to the previous owner of this laptop that made them smash it into pieces. I hope they are doing well now.

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Probably little nervous :D

[@VamanNeurekar]

[@Monte_Bear]

What is the model of this laptop?

[@DragonBlazeDesigns]

yes I hate that rubber is just trash after a long time the laptop gets old but it still working great but that rubber becomes to be nasty and sticks to everything like pet hair just try to remove it take work wish that never put on it I got 14x R1 Alienware notebook it gots it all over the palm rest

[@michaelwood9866]

will you replace the touch pad since it's worn in? also you and i have the same keyboard!

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

The trackpad is fine, that just a plastic and the part of the palmrest, the trackpad sensors are sticked from below

[@Ronnocbot]

Unfortunately, Windows 7/8/8.1 keys can no longer be used to activate Windows 10. Very Frustrating. This includes bios embedded keys from OEM's unless it's specifically licensed for 10.

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

This laptop have windows 8 sticker at the bottom, the activation passes well

[@Janika1982]

Good job!👌

[@vinzkieprod14]

nice one bro!!

[@wolfdz8163]

is xeon x5660 3.2ghz good for 768p with 16gb ram gtx 1060 6gb

[@saladfox]

It's not a very fast CPU, but if it's what you've got to work with I see no reason why you couldn't play any games on it. Might even be able to do 1080p, just keep the graphics settings reasonable.

[@wolfdz8163]

is it good theat cpu i play only in 768p which cpu can run all games x5660 3.2ghz oc or i5 4670k i now you well say peak the i5 but 4c 4t not enof cpu usag are 100@@saladfox

[@saladfox]

I'd go for the 4670k just because the platform itself is newer if you're deciding between the two. If you already own the x5660 then just stick with that though. I can't give a direct answer on how well it'll run games, but I'd assume the overwhelming majority will be playable at that resolution.

[@wolfdz8163]

@@saladfox same prix h81/x58 oc board ram 16gb and CPU are 75 dollar I didn't buy it but i5 4 core 4 tread 22n not enough it go 100% CPU usage and that xeon stock 6 core 12 tread 32nm 32% in newest game on 1080p

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

It's not bad bro, this is something like i7 3770. But if you wanna go with 1060 6gb then I will recommend something newer. Better option is i7 7700K, 7th gen CPU but still great. Or cheaper options like i7 4th gen but look for a K CPU or AMD Ryzen 2nd gen

you never review the batteries of the laptops you restore! Do the batteries actually functional/backup? Plz answer & make a video about it.

The batteries are mostly not in good condition to these older machines, rarely when some battery is good
