hey man, nice video! i bought time ago a similar model which has the 16 4:3 screen with thw 2.6ghz p4 processor. it seems it has the same issue as yours (turns on, nothing happens) how did you manage to make it work in the end?? let me know please!!!!
I have over a dozen of these, blue, green, silver, all running 3.4Ghz P4, 2GB RAM, 250GB SSD, 128MB Video Cards, Wifi etc... If you have the parts, they are easy to work on and get running... we use them at the Con every year to play Artemis, we use about 7 or 8 and the rest are backups should we have problems. You can run Windows 7 on them as well, though 2GB is the max RAM so they work best with XP
it took a combination of a new cmos battery and reseating everything one more time and i've now been able to get everything running. video to come soon.
hello. i never used the original cable for this myself. i actually used a laptop ide/pata extender cable and it fit right in. the cable was a little long but if you fold it in the right spots and lay the hdd over it then it was able to close the bottom panel and boot right up.
hey i asked ? on the other alienware 51m 766 how u got the keyboard off im stuck thier . u was going to show it but in video if was already off , how u get keyboard PLZ
It's probably driver related. You may have to take it apart to visually see the wifi cards part numbers to look up. Otherwise you can use a usb adapter just fine I suspect.
@@gameboy3800 instaled all drivers that comes with CD, but still doesnt have wifi, im thinking about selling it, but i hearded than is a collectors item, how much i can sell it?
@@fransn0w you can, but it involves a custom install disc or iso to allow it to run on a pentium 4. really not worth it as it wont perform good at all because windows 10 isnt meant for hardware that old.
its long gone sadge. but the issue ended up just being the coincell battery was dead. with hdd cable it fired right up, it had a p4 3.4ghz and geforce go 5700. speakers were pretty sick too.
@@gameboy3800 I just picked up one myself. I was having the exact same issue as you. It would start up but not display anything. Replacing the cmos battery solved that issue for me as well. Now I'm trying to hunt down these ancient drivers. I managed to get the gpu driver. ATI Radeon 9600/9700. Now I'm trying to find the other 5 drivers I'm missing. Would you happen to remember the name of the ethernet driver needed?

Can you sell me one full working ?
Would you be willing to sell a green one?
did you try to install a fresh new cmos battery, sometimes because of that laptops refuse to boot up

theres just some tabs you push in above the function row of keys. you can use a razerblade to help lift the keyboard up if its stuck to the base.
@@gameboy3800 thank you
how much i can sell the same laptop? totally working?
200-300 probably
I want one, can you sell It to me ?
hi! i have one working properly but i don't know if that laptop can connect to WI-FI you can help Me? thanks

@@fransn0w one just sold last week for 200 or so. so you could probably get about that. more if you include original accessories.
@@gameboy3800 perfect thanks i would like to get working this again, do you know if i can install W10?
@@fransn0w you can, but it involves a custom install disc or iso to allow it to run on a pentium 4. really not worth it as it wont perform good at all because windows 10 isnt meant for hardware that old.
Where can i Buy one online working ?
Your best bet is Ebay.
Do you still have it? If so would you be willing to sell it?
