my 17 R4 is into it's 6th year still running strong. GTX 1060 with I7 6700HQ needs it's battery replaced but I just keep it plugged in, the disassembly looks daunting
Nice job!!! TH-cam tutorial for disassembly with earth strap on hand, but you are not disconnecting the battery FIRST!!! What will do you say to people who broke their laptop by dropping a screw on motherboard?
You forgot to mention to remove the 2 screws from the back cover where the ports are. I almost broke my cover and chassis trying to pry the cover off. I had to look at another video to see what I was doing wrong.
Hi, one of my screws in the bottom cover is stripped from when I sent it out for repair under my warranty? Could you please give me some tips on how to remove it?
@AssimilatorX mine actually got repaired nearly an year ago and I didn’t notice until I opened it a week or so ago. Sadly my warranty is out so I don’t know if they will accommodate
You need to enter your Service Tag number on the Dell support website to get the correct part number for the assembly. There are different ones depending on your video card version.
Dear sir i wonder if you could help me i have same device and once I had an error while updating bois and after fixing it I can't open windows normally I have to press f12 and choose first boot hdd even it is listed as first boot sequence
Hello, does this works for the Alienware 15 r4? Thanks in advance for your reply, it will be very helpfull in my case, the top part is broken and I need to disassemble it😢Thank you in advance for your precious reply !
Sorry just saw your reply. Did you just blow air into it or actually take the bottom case off? The only thing I can think to check is the connector that attaches to the motherboard.
@@jay-uj8xt because i'm stupid. I disassembled it and attempted to boot it while it was pieced apart. I didn't pay attention to the fact that I had ribbons resting between metal on the power source and it caught fire when booting. It was a tiny fire, like a sick birthday candle, but enough to fuck it up and make the living room smell like burnt plastic.
This laptop is fort Knox! I'm trying to replace my fan and this video helped me a lot. Thank you

Thanks for the tutorial. Great video. I would start by releasing the battery cable before removing anything else. Thanks

Hi, will this motherboard work separately. for example at 14:56 if it had RAM, storage and power will it turn on?

You can sometimes get it with a small flat blade, otherwise you may have to drill it a bit and use a screw extractor.

Mostly a 2.5 phillips

Delete the other drive from boot.ini

After cleaning the fans my right USB port doesn't work anymore. Do you have an idea why?

May be u didn't connect it properly! Do recheck :D
unfortunately, disconnecting the hard drive seems to have made the pc unusable even though the bios detects it
this socket is BGA but is a good machine
my $3000 laptop can get $58...
