" Making laptops great again" - Cat and Andrew . BTW, who is cat? Where is this cat?
@@utkarshgupta2241 I hope not. That would be so anticlimactic.
@@utkarshgupta2241 As long as cat is a human sure.
Why is cat?
Cat is ithink freand or the camera girle
Does nuts
This laptop's upgrade make me so "envy"
@@josef_fritzl literally doesnt understand the joke
hah! that's so PUNny!
This is honestly the first/best laptop I ever owned. Bought one new in 2012 after I graduated high school. Watching this makes me miss the heavy/bulky thing. I hate beats, but I remember the speakers being super good for the time.
4th gen i Series Chips came around late 2013 I believe.

Hi Andrew (and Cat), THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. I have two of these exact same laptops, and the problem has been the old HP curse of the "broken left hinge". I have never seen such a great and thorough breakdown of the J020dx... they both work wonderfully; the only problem is when you open them the part where the hinge is, it's broken so it starts to pull apart. And yet they still work perfectly. But now I can do all the wonderful cleaning you have done, to every part I can. That always adds life to a pc. Plus watching how you would not mess with the glue; I know exactly what I have to do to fix those parts. I am so grateful. Thank you for an excellent video tutorial done with patience and lots of love. I will let you know how they come out in a couple of weeks when I fix them. Maybe I'll post a tiny video to show you how they came out. Respect Andrew. And ps, they really are great for anything including gaming. I'm very glad I didn't get rid of them before seeing this video. Extremely helpful. Thanks..Gman
you are always inpiring by turning a trash computer shockingly fast for just a couple bucks
100% back up this comment. Great video.
You are right man. We humans already waste enough electronics so its great to see whats Andrew doing
you are right.. we spend a lot of bucks which is totally wrong..but Andrew is super pro professional
@@ganeshkumars6302? What about being a pro
@@Crushhyt what do you mean?
Thanks!!! My mom have this exact PC with a broken shell, you gave me some cool ideas to do...
Always nice to see a new video, keep the good work! 😎🔥

Keep up the great work 😁👌🏻
hhahah...me tooo
Im starting to love these restoratoon videos , breathing new life into older hardware ♡♡♡♡♡♡
PLEASE post more videos i'm addicted to this channel now !!!
Just found this video in recommended and love when a machine gets restored especially like this one which beats any of those new low end laptops (which run like crap) too working order. staying subscribed gonna watch more of your videos :)
cheers from Slovenia man :)
After an year, I still wonder 'who is the cat?', 'why is the cat?', 'where is the cat?'. Life is a mystery you know
This is really good, you have inspired me to clean 2 old 2007 laptops on the inside.
Ashwin Venkatesh I'd use a pressure washer
Please dont change anything about your channel. It's all perfect!!!
i liked this video alot and i wish you best experience with your new upgrades
Nice work! as always!
Your videos helped me to restore some old models. Thanks and love from India
How Many Drives You Want ?
Andrew : Yes !
I ENVY you for being able to do this. 😭😭😭😭😭
I love your videos Andrew,you always make me profilactic and cleening my laptop
finally new video yaaaay. thank you andrew
andrew is the best...!needed someone like you to upgrade my laptop
It's so relaxing to watch your videos!!!
I have an HP Envy 17.5” and I absolutely love mine with its complete aluminum casing for help with cooling and just everything about it I love. Still as fast as the day I got it 3 years ago.
Adam Averhart great for gaming
Do you still use it now?
@@RaffyART1995 I do on occasion. Mostly for emulation and remote play and movies. Other than that it's in a case most of the time. I'm upgrading soon once the ZenBook 17 fold comes out this month.
@@AdamAve93 Wow! Good luck!
1:58 broken display left a beautiful wallpaper 😂
nice video ahh learn something thx bro!
This is a top-notch tutorial. Thanks.
Hey Andrew! Great work! Keep the restoration videos coming. You have inspired me and I will soon restore my 2013 laptop using your methods
Thank you bro :D
nice video i learnt lots of things,thanks:)
Hey I happen to have this same computer that I repaired recently. However the screen is broken where can I go to buy one of the used replacements
Hey Andrew, since a lot of these laptops you use still use Kepler and Nvidia stopped support there is a work around to install latest drivers regardless and get better optimized performance! I made a video on it but you also can just follow the link and do it yourself! Keep up the good work, you are super enjoyable to watch.
idk why but watching your videos with 2x speed seems much more better than normal. :)
Good job andrew. you are talented
Thank God your back
Have you thought about including Cinebench, Blender, and/or 3DMark tests to your videos? I think it would be interesting to see some synthetic benchmarks.
Nice video as always.....
Waiting for your next video 🥰
Great job Andrew. Can you write where did you get that screen? Thanks for the video.
Nice upgrades :) Personally, with this laptop, there is the option of three drives, so the best option is 1x mSATA SSD (mSATA was accessible when the bottom case was removed), 1x programs SSD, and 1x data HDD (2TB seems the best - or at least 1TB, anyway). Go for 256GB mSATA if you only want one OS, or 512GB mSATA to dual boot, and have the OS'es on the one disk only. That means you can keep the fully working DVD drive - as some people (especially myself) still use DVDs and CDs, it is a shame that modern laptops no longer have DVD drives.
well you may use it but 95% of people dont ever use it, or even know their laptop has a dvd cd drive
@@DemeDemetre Unfortunately.
@@FR4M3Sharma Unfortunately indeed! A lot of modern day laptops, and even modern desktops, do not have DVD drive built into them, so the ones that have the DVD drive as an option are more worth buying to those who still use physical media.
My next PC, I have to spend £130 on a case because it is one of the only ones to support DVD drive, if I didn't care about the DVD drive then my case could probably cost about £50 or £60.
Edit... I managed to get PC Case, "Phanteks Enthoo Pro", for just under £110. This is almost double price of normal case, but I keep DVD-ROM or even Blu-Ray ROM support.
Wow, big support man!
Thank you bro :D
You always inspire me and others
Very inspirational, love your video's
Excellent keep it up dear Andrew
I'm glad I found this video, because I have the exact same laptop and wasn't too sure if it was worth selling it and getting a new one or upgrading it. I think I will do the latter!
You are awesome dude, teach me how to upgrade laptop and PC with some repair an cleaning
Great job. Congrats from Brasil.
Amazing work
I love to see how you fix damaged laptops!
love your vids man
Big support man 🙏🤟
Thank you bro :D
He's not only professional at his work but also at gaming too
wow! sir can i do this too in my laptop and channel? thank you!
I mean with the display edges👏🤣
Not everyone is born already knowing how to speak english like you. Grow up idiot
What I meant was he always uses that phase and I love it so much that's why I comment for the first time sorry
@@ekedini LMAO, low IQ detected.
@@heshamleeatef Lol.... he's an internet troll
@CREFOLION GAMING Me too😂👏
You can also use external optical drive while some of your laptops having hard drive caddy instead of optical drive on laptops.
I'd have personally gone for 1TB SSD + 2TB HDD + keeping in built ODD :)
@@TheSpotify95 I'm gonna also personally gone for 1TB SSD and 2TB Hard Drive or 2TB SSD or 4TB Hard Drive. My current laptop originally had 1TB Hard Drive (used from December 2018 to July 2019). But, My current laptop has bootup problems it was started on my last day of my easter break back in Mid-April 2019 and then on a Thursday it was got fixed the bootup problems. Then, on the first Sunday of May last year (May 5th 2019) it got an error on the bootup ''Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed.''. But, The Hard Drive works fine and a few hours later It works back to normal. But unfortunately, My current laptop a next day keep into black background. Then, late-May 2019 My Dad fix it and had to reinstalling Windows 10 on My current laptop. But, It failed due to boot.efi is missing. Then, in July 2019 My Dad reinstalled Windows 10 for the second attempt and the hard drive crashed due to had 2 partitions to want to having dual-booted with both Windows 10 and Linux Mint. Then, My Dad had to swapped it with an older one (from My Packard Bell EasyNote LM82) an 320GB Hard Drive and then it works perfectly fine. Since, My Dad removed Windows 7 and installed Windows 10 on My current laptop. My Dad also installed the drivers after reinstalling Windows 10 on my current laptop using an different hard drive.
@@aldwinpanny10 Can't get 4TB HDDin 2.5in form factor (for laptops), 2TB is the maximum you can get.
Given the current prices, 1TB SSD + 2TB HDD would be perfect.
Seems like your laptop went through the wars a bit! Bootup problems would lead me to believe the HDD is dying, or the OS has become corrupted, or possibly a SATA connection is loose and needs repairing.
@@aldwinpanny10 Also, just to add, something I missed before was that this HP Envy 17.3 model has mSATA port (not used in this case). So best option is 512GB mSATA for OS'es, 1TB SATA for programs and games, 2TB SATA mechanical for data, keep DVD/CD-ROM for optical media.
your video always help me thanks❤❤❤

what
What?
Whaat??
Meow?
What what?
My lap come with pre-installed win 10 (hp15 g dr0006tx). While installing win 10 by a bootable pendrive on an ssd , does it require the product key
there was a free msata port in there :) what a very good video this is .. excellent walktrough .. good job ..
IMO, those mSATA ports are a great addition. This means a better solution would have been:
512GB mSATA SSD for both OS'es (Windows & Linux)
1TB 2.5 SSD for programs and games (for both OS'es)
2TB 2.5 HDD for general data such as music, photos, videos, game recordings, etc
This then leaves 4th disk slot for CD-ROM, so that *CD-ROM does not need to be removed!*
Awesome, I would like that...
Great job.
Similar generation of my upgrade, Dell Precision M4800 i7-4810mq, nvidia quadro k2100m 2gb ddr5, massive 32gb ddr3l, ssd 256gb, hdd 1tb.
Xubuntu (low appearance ubuntu but same repository) under vmware virtualbox enough and no need other ssd.
Damag-ed. Wonderful!
Hello! I have a question…I have the same computer and I recently bought the Samsung ddr3 8gb ram for this to upgrade also. But it won’t read it for some reason. Is there something I am missing?
Hey Andrew, great vid. Could you do a cheap hackintosh video again? like the 65, 90 and 140 buck vid.
Thank you bro :D i will try bro, i have something in plan
I have this exact same laptop but mine has a i7 4700MQ processor. What is the difference between MQ and HQ processors?
I have some difficulties in powering on my Sony vaio laptop can you help me with that how can I contact you
I have the Envy 17 with 740m and and i5 3230m HM77, thinking of trying to put a quad core i7-3632QM in it, the socket fits but I am unsure if the Insyde bios allows it, and since it is quad core instead of dual core, what do you think? already got a fast SSD in it and overclocked the screen to 120hz, so might be worth the investment
Hey i like to install win 10 on my new ssd
My doubt is ..my lap came with pre-installed win 10 . So does it require product key when installing win 10 on ssd
carry on, you are a legend!!!!!
Thank you :D
Love From India❤
Hi I have a dout my laptop Acer 5738g model if I power on the screen doesn't show anything but laptop is working I repaired my laptop 4 time still not working what is the problem do you know
Nice one bro.... Keep it up. But if u hve a time, i want to ask u one thing. That is can i install gpu on lappy bcz its doesn't hve but specification is prety good
WOW!! AWWWSSUUMM SIR!! KOOL-ASS TUTORIALS
hii man love your vid, i have a question, are how do i disable the touchscreen from this laptop y have it and it seems to be missing the touchscreen driver
Hello, Thanks for sharing your work, I also have the same laptop and I'm hunting down a battery replacement for it also a new rubber bumper for the display screen, that thing is disintergrating. Do you know of any sites I can go to, to find what i need? Much Thanks.
Good new video andrej )
You are so helpful.
@Cat and Andrew. I need some help i have the exact same laptop with the 16 gig ram and 850m gpu but i want to run an eGPU on it will the system take it as there is an extra PCIe slot at the bottom right hand side of the motherboard.. I have a GTX 1660 AE. Ready to use it for the egpu .. Not sure if there will be problems tho any help would be cool from anyone
Hello i have an old msi cr 620 and have intel celeron P4600 Socket 989 rPGA with what proccesor could i upgrade?
Nice. I'm trying to do a mini project on my 10year old laptop too. But for a 10 year old laptop, I have to really watch how much I spend for repairs. Because even the lowest budget computer right now is probably better than my 4gb ram, intel 2 duo core laptop.
Although I already have a more up to date laptop and I'll most likely not ever use this old laptop often, since I'm learning how to fix hardware, I'm making sure to take this opportunity to tinker with it.
I found an old random 500GB hdd in a drawer in my living room. It's not mines. It has some disk errors, with some research I was able to troubleshoot and get it working again (the user folder indicates that it's my nephews haha). I swapped out my 300GB hdd that ran a bootlegged slow and out of date win7 (pc originally came with vista) with this new hdd and installed Unbuntu. Such a huge difference! Haha. Runs alot faster and smoother than the out of date bootlegged win7. BUT it's not ssd fast, so I want to upgrade this.
I still have to watch my repair/upgrade budget. Although I want to have moderate ssd space, it doesnt make sense to break my budget for it, especially since it's a laptop I'm not going to seriously use. Instead of a 500GB ssd for an affordable $50+ (cyber monday), I'm going to settle for 250gb for half the price (or even go cheaper for a 120gb ssd). Clone the hhd onto the ssd for faster booting and keep the hhd for storage. Hybrid action.
So far, physical parts I've bought for physical damage repair was a little under $50 ( LCD bezel, back cover). Theres also a major issue of the battery being dead and not able to charge. But that is just too damn costly for a new one ($80 to over $130). I will just have to source a used or try an alternative repair, which I'm excited to do. Meanwhile the laptop can just run while corded.
Another stupidly costly item that I want to upgrade is the RAM. Laptops currently has 4gb of ddr2, I want to bring that up to 8gb, it was a bit annoying as lag was noticible when I loaded a few apps and browsers (because i need to fill out my dual monitor space). Why does outdated RAM have to cost so much. At over $120 for a 2x4gb set, that pretty much almost breaks my budget. But for the sake of practice and satisfaction of reaping and improving something I'm going to do it!
Watching you take it apart, made me decide I'll have to give it a deep clean too, as it did pick up a lot of dust. I'm excited for this project, but I hope it goes well since ive never done anything like this before lol.
For a Core 2 Duo laptop you have to be careful. Core 2 Duo laptops are still OK, but getting on a bit, and as you say have DDR2 RAM instead of DDR3. Also most motherboards max out of 4GB, with some early ones maxing out at 2GB, and 4GB DDR2 memory modules are as expensive as hell. With current pricing, instead of trying to do 8GB DDR2 + SSD, you're probably better off getting a 1st - 4th gen Intel Core i series laptop with DDR3 support.

That is great idea to make out a great product from junk....👍🏼👍🏼
Mr cat andrew i had a intel celeron and 4gb asus laptop also it had 1tb of hard drive why its still slow?
nice. i like all your video's :)
Thank you :D
i got the exact same laptop, never seen anybody else having this one haha
Just Sear me 2
10:32 Wait a minute... Under GPU VRAM is mSATA Slot or just PCI.E Slot ?
Looks like Mini-PCIE. mSata drive could work in there.
Its pcie for wifi
its an mSATA slot. not for wifi but, for a mSATA SSD.
Cat=Computer's and technology
This was my first laptop and the build quality was atrocious. Back then i was a foolish newbie, and i literally just disposed the laptop downstairs of my house. Now, i have built many desktop pcs from used parts, and bought used thinkpads.
My only regret was that while i took out the harddisk and ram, i thought the cpu was soldered to the motherboard and didnt keep the removable i7-4700hq cpu. That cpu would have been a great upgrade for a thinkpad t440p...
We all have one, don't we?
Mine to. build quality is horible. I mean. anything is fragile. but I still use this laptop to this day from. and think from your comment. i want to buy thinkpad tfour four four [my keyboard number is not working] so that I can swap my processor and ram and ssd, even I have Ryzen PC. ty for the info
Love your videos😍😍😍😍😍 i have been using youtube since last 5 years and i swear you are the first one whom video i am comenting🤗🤗🤗🤗 love from pakistan😘
I also have two white dot on my laptop screen are they causes any problem to my laptop display.
Me : I want to restore my laptop.
Cat and Andrew : wait, hold my isopropyl alcohol
cool content, will try a mac dual bot on a simillar one
but man, them scrotches
Hi Everyone! Where can I buy the Bottom Base for HP Envy TouchSmart 17" Notebook m7-j120dx?
One lesson I learnt when installing Windows and Ubuntu on separate drives: disable the other drive when installing each OS, otherwise the bootloader can end up on the wrong drive! Do you update the BIOS to the latest version when you restore these laptops?
Hi bro, when i do dual or multi OS i always remove the other HDD/SSD physically from the laptop, its safer. Also if the bios is outdated then I do update
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Thanks for your reply. Maybe include these in future videos (unplugging the other drive when installing different operating systems and record updating the BIOS to the latest version). :-)
@@Dave4000 U r welcome bro :D i will record this process in my next videos and explain more, thank you for the suggestion
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew You're welcome. :)
I have this same laptop, and the screen lights up but doesn’t display things. I plugged it into an external monitor and it works fine. I checked the ram and tried 30,1,2 nothing worked. Got any suggestions
Soon ur gonna hit million subscribers..
Nice video bro! I'm just wondering if it's possible to run eGPU on this Envy or Probook HPs as you you did for ASUS,....as I've seen in many threads that they need a software called "DIY eGPU 1.35", Have you ever needed it in one of you eGPU setups, I really need a clarification Bro.
Thank you in advance 👍
I hace this laptop and i am thinking about doing these Upgrades will ir run 2020 games?
Excelente. Tengo una cuestión, yo tengo un Hp Pavilion 17" con una resolución de 1600 x 900. Puedo reemplazar esa pantalla por una 1920 x 1080 ?? Gracias por tan buen contenido!!
Yeah it’s possible you just need to make sure you have compatible screws
Please tell me how to know which processor is capable for my laptop (Lenovo g560)
