a few years ago I worked for some time as a service technician in a company dealing with repair and refurbishment of older laptops and computers, and the similar work you do in your videos was my daily bread. It wasn't a very happy period but now looking back I enjoy your videos immensely and relax with them. Thanks a lot for your videos and the time you devote to them. From the heart of Europe from the Czech Republic I wish you all the best Jan
Your videos gave me the knowledge and confidence to save a gaming laptop that my wife spilled soda all over the other day. Took it apart, washed the board with distilled water, let dry for 2 days, new thermal paste, reassembled, working perfectly again! 👍
Recently I made some upgrades on a 2008 Toshiba Satellite laptop, such as a little better Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, an SSD and a more modern WiFi card. Do you believe that laptop is working just fine with Windows 10 Lite? Yes it is 😊
Nice restoration - most people would have given up all hope after seeing how filthy that laptop was. Now I always say when I list items on eBay, that it is always a good idea to clean used electronic items, but this takes cleaning to a whole new level, and rightfully so.
Ah yes the G50, or Z50 Lenovo laptop. They always break where the hinge screws are, on the top and bottom case. We sold lots of these, because they broke all the time, and the user could not close the laptp properly. I might do a video on these too.
Well done with the restoration! I hate tech from smokers' homes, it always smells bad and has a thick brownish tar-like substance coating the air intakes and cooling fans/heat sinks. Thank you!
I replaced battery on warranty two times. and later i changed to motherboard with an i7 and replaced the top and bottom body of it because it easily breaks(I treat my laptops well and only bring them on the desk not everywhere). After a few years with the replacement body it started cracking a little behind the screen lid hinge but it still isnt as bad on the original body. currently the battery isn't working again and if i need it i have to replace the battery a 3d time. Later went for an Older Thinkpad w530 and i don't regret it. I know there's also these models that come with mechanical harddrives and in no situations should you use a mechanical harddrive in this laptop body. it is so weak body that you can destroy the harddrive if you hold it wrong. Not the best laptop i ever owned but its better than the new ones since you can't do much when things break. If i don't want the plastic on the hinges to ever break, i have to hold both my hands along the hinges of the screenlid and use my 3d hand to open the screen every time i use it but i don't have a 3d hand so its a little difficult.
Hey Andrew, sometimes you need to do anti-mainstream modifications, as an example: You mod screen, from old school with modern screen and make it bezel-less. For the type of socket and cable, of course you can work around it.
I wonder whether there will ever be a video where you put Chrome OS Flex on the laptop. I think it's really useful for productivity laptops that have been refurbished!
The worst experiences for me cleaning PC's and laptops, was when I had to clean smokers PC's. Man la brown gunk is really nasty. I always told people, do not smoke near the laptops and PC's but they refuse to listen.
Hi Andrew I have to say I really love your content, I know you normally work on newer Tech but I think it'd be really cool if you did something from the 80s maybe some sort of VCR or an old CRT TV.
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Wouldn't happen in Ireland, smoking in the workplace banned for years. Smokers have to go outside to light up on their breaks.
Videos like these make me want to get an old laptop a family member has that is no longer functional and completely revitalize it, sadly I'm not as experienced as someone such as Andrew, but maybe someday I'll be able to do such thing.
I know this sounds really out of touch, but do it. Get hands on because that’s how you get the skills to do it. Get the oldest, junkiest, CHEAPEST, laptop and just play with it. Take it apart, put it together, if it stops working you troubleshoot and make it work again. Do that a while, play with it more, try different oses and refurbish it. When you are done and if it works you can sell it for $1-20 more. Just try on junk hardware, play and learn hands on. Watch a few tutorials and try new things. You will get it. I believe you will. Someday you might be the 23rd best technician.
I've been following Andrew's channel for a long time and I've noticed that he hasn't featured the Lenovo ThinkPad series at all. Similarly, I haven't seen any content related to the Sony brand. I would really appreciate it if you could create a video including these brands. Also, I would be happy if you don't forget about mini notebooks. Have a great weekend!
Hello, I would be happy if you answer. I have an Asus k53s model lsptop with a graphics card like i5 and GT540. I use it occasionally to study.Unfortunately, when Fsket touched the area where the processor and graphics card sticker is located, the other day, Erkan, the operating system crashed and then I formatted it again, but when I gently pressed the part of my laptop with the processor and graphics card stickers with my finger, it started crashing again.The screen became streaky and the operating system crashed. I think the problem is an electrical problem. How do you suggest a solution to this issue?
I Actually Call This Series "Budget Gaming Laptops" Due To Their Entry Level Hardware Instead Of Crap Hardware Like Most Cheap Laptops And Notebooks Do But The G50 Series Get Quite Hot Under load Even With Good Thermal Paste And With Cleaned Fan And Heatsink High End Games Do Struggle But The Benchmarks Arent 0-1 FPS Like Most Modern Affordables I've Got The G505s Found In A Dumpster The Hinges Are Broken I Didn't Find A Battery But Got The Old One My Dad Had Because it Has Been Replaced In His G50 It Looks Almost The Same And He Does Game On It Even Tho It Has Weaker Hardware It Achieved Better Framerates Than His 2009 Gaming PC I Have Replaced His Display Before With A Used LG Display The Same One I Had While Repairing It I Even Cleaned It For Him He Still Uses It And Never Has Issues Ecept The HDD Is Getting Slower Mine Can Reach Upwards Of 80°C Similar For Other AMD A10 Models
I have a Hp pavilion G6 model no. 1117tx , it has i3 2310m , and 3 GB Ram (pre installed) . Can you provide for a CPU upgrade list supported for the laptop. And also the maximum ram supported in one slot.
My friend has similar laptop, same spec but from different brand...he got it for IDR 1 million but in damaged condition..well me and him tried the best to revive it and the result is great...we used full ssd configuration (256 + 512)
Those G50 and G40 are like bullsh*t in terms of quality. My mom had one and now it is nearly mangled to pieces. Her previous laptop (the HP 6535s) build quality is much better.

Ooohh. Good work. I will suggest you to work on your accent. Make it more clear to understand. As new viewers may find it hard to understand in the beginning

True I have dell studio 1555 with AMD graphics still working😅😅😅 also got dell precision 7710 xeon processor it's bad ass machine 😅😅😅
His patience and attention to detail deserve better tools. He would be unstoppable with an ultrasonic cleaner.
Just old school Andrew.
It can be seen in one breath.
I love your restoration videos
Bring more of damaged consoles and PC's and let us enjoy watching you bring them to life again my brother 😊

Andrew has a relaxing voice I always enjoy your videos keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍
Best restoration, GG Andrew ❤
you're so talented at this!!
The videos are so soothing😊
That's so nice! I always enjoy these informative and inspiring videos. 😊

Looks like smokers skunge 🤮. Love your work as always. Your videos are the first thing I watch when I get notified.
Nice work Andrew! Have you ever used windows vista?
Thank youu bro :) yes I have used but for a very short
Hi Andrew I have to say I really love your content, I know you normally work on newer Tech but I think it'd be really cool if you did something from the 80s maybe some sort of VCR or an old CRT TV.
Thank you bro :) I will try to find something newer and older
heavy smokers home it seems
Heavy smokers office :D

Wow,great job!👌
This laptop looks kinda like Framework Laptop. I mean is modular enough for it's time. Unlike today's laptop which everything seems less modular
It feels like some kind of the prototype of Framework, because of the VGA port and the SATA connector for the second SSD/HDD or replacing the ODD
Love your content Andrew great work.
Buenisima toda la restauración y cuidando cada detalle, espectacular!!! 👋👋👋👋👋
Great work!!! Very detailed! 👍🏾
Hi Andrew do you have lenovo 3000 y500 laptop screen it's screen is 15.4 inch (LCD) old 30 pin connector.
I miss the mods you used to make with paints, where are the old videos?

Man you work miracles

I think having a laptop with 1 to 5 or 6 years old are okay if they have a good processor and integrated graphics and a good amount of ram
HI, to change the CMOS battery do I need a welder?
smoke residue is pretty annoying, you may clean it but the smell hard to kick even after you re clean it again
Great content Andrew. Who sings the music in this video. Love it!
Lovely and just a question what do you do with all these laptops after you refurbish them sell, give away, keep?

I Have Replaced His Display Before With A Used LG Display The Same One I Had While Repairing It I Even Cleaned It For Him He Still Uses It And Never Has Issues Ecept The HDD Is Getting Slower Mine Can Reach Upwards Of 80°C Similar For Other AMD A10 Models
Excelente! Como lo hace siempre, gracias 🫡
Andrew, I love your content!
What do you do with all these laptops that you fix? Do you sell them?
希望视频能有字幕文件，这样我用自动翻译功能就会更准确，现在使用自动生成的字幕，再自动翻译，会有很多错误，虽然我能看懂是什么意思，但是观看体验上会差一些

Hello sir what do you think about dell 7490 for personnelle usage

My friend has similar laptop, same spec but from different brand...he got it for IDR 1 million but in damaged condition..well me and him tried the best to revive it and the result is great...we used full ssd configuration (256 + 512)
How can you understand and also predict damage to the laptop?
Sometimes is noticeable but in this case, this is my friend laptop and he got little nervous at work :D
This computer looks beautiful
Those G50 and G40 are like bullsh*t in terms of quality. My mom had one and now it is nearly mangled to pieces. Her previous laptop (the HP 6535s) build quality is much better. Too bad the Northbridge chip on the motherboard died (it got the AMD CPU) and at that time replacing the motherboard for that HP was very costly. Some times later and I replaced the AMD motherboard with the Intel one (which is the mobo of the HP 6530s which is basically the same as 6535s apart from the motherboard) and now it is my secondary laptop.
Andrew bro plz make a seprate video on laptop paint job I want it from you brother

is fixing these laptops profitable?
i can already told that one belonged to a smoker sadly these days batteries dont last

Running GTA V means it can run an older Photoshop version
