@@mannyfiler I only run Linux, I got rid of that Windows rubbish when support for Windows 7 ended. That means I can turn much older laptops into great daily driver machines for Linux that are very cheap to upgrade - particularly old Thinkpads like the T420 or X220. Compare that to a recent Lenovo laptop that someone asked me to take a look at - it turns out the SSD interface on the motherboard has gone faulty and to replace the motherboard is around $600 because the memory and CPU are soldered to it. There's no point repairing it. Modern laptops are not worth the money, Windows is a privacy-hating and bloated OS anyway and Linux makes working on older hardware a joy - especially with so many lemmings rushing to upgrade their hardware for Windows 11 meaning a nice load of cheap and used hardware to buy online.
After watching your videos for so long! finally did my first laptop CPU re pasting a few days ago. I was nervous to say the least but all is working fine.
It gives an excellent feeling when high-end laptops from a few years ago are rejuvenated with the highest-end upgrades. Refreshing video, as always! Thank you for uploading, Andrew!
hey andrew, little tip. warranty stickers are illegal in most countries and dont void your warranty. so you're able to remove them freely without consequences
Andrew, you never cease to amaze me with your repair work with these laptops. You are brilliant. I doubt there are many people who have the ingenuity or patience to do what you do, and record it for everyone to see throughout the process. keep up the great work brother!
Hi Andrew! Thank you so much for making the videos you make, my wife and I love to watch them together. We're huge tech junkies and enjoy every video you make. I got a question, where are you from? Lol
Its always great to see a top of the line laptop with top of the line parts! Hate to see a laptop running with low storage and ram but with an i7 or dGPU. Awesome vid!
kinda funny how people being afraid of voiding the warranty make them not service their devices at the point that it's probably gonna broke since it's so dirty inside, which will make it overheat or even shortciruit something if it's exposed to moisture
The warranty will expire soon and I will change the paste. This laptop is his but he got from a company, so probably some company policy. I don't know why
It is very common for some companies to have comprehensive insurance covering their electronic and computer devices (such as a fleet of cars). The conditions will probably mean that if there is no warranty seal, the insurance will not cover it and its repair will involve a cost for the company (and the employee will earn a warning).
As editor, company will brought me a laptop like i wanted, but any cost for repairing is on my own. So i keep the warranty sticker and never open my working laptop.
Impressive work as always, Bro. This time the laptop owner did not let you take it apart and clean it piece by piece :) I'll take this opportunity to ask: I saw on another channel that cleaned with tap water because they didn't have ionized water and then used an ultrasonic cleaning tank. I always thought this was for cleaning silver. Does anyone know if it can be used for electronics?
A little tip... removing stickers that says "warranty void if removed" is actually illegal. the supreme court ruled that consumers can take apart their items for cleaning, upgrading etc... its called The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which was passed in 1975. so they can put them stickers on laptops. but you have the full rights to clean and upgrade. etc!
I would probably just use some contact cleaner spray to clean the fan and the heatsinks just spray the dust out. Isopropyl alcohol can be expensive to use for soaking + it might have tracest of moisture inside still from storage.
Excellent video, as usual. But is the user a freakin' heavy smoker, or is the laptop in a kitchen, 'cause that dust looks sticky and heavy, holy smoke !
Worth noting that a laptop 3080 Ti is roughly on par with a desktop 3070 Ti, but it has 16GB of Vram, so it'll last for much longer than the desktop equivalent. :)
You couldn't tell that it hadn't been in use for a very long time by the looks of those fans. They look like they've spent their lives sucking up blanket lint, lol.
What warranty? That laptop lost it's warranty at least 2 years ago. Also where does your friend work in the dessert? Also tell your friend to stop smoking near the laptop. That's not dust, dust is grey, that gunk is brown.
Warranty expires in a few months, some company policy where he work. I don't know why. This laptop was everywhere maybe cross 1/3 of the planet :D and yep, smoking, vaping
It's hard bro, I mean it's hard to find all that tech that really needs to be fixed or restored for daily uploads. Daily I can do fake videos but not real ones.
Putting the keyboard back onto the pc then choosing to clean it wouldn't that just make dirt and grime fall right back into the interior of the laptop again?
I know at least in the US opening up a laptop or breaking stickers cannot void your warrenty. I'm surprised that's still a thing in other countries to see that's allowed
Never use degreaser on any laptop part. Smh. Use isopropyl alcohol 99% with a toothbrush. If those fans have any kind of lubricant in the bearing, its gone now and they will fail.
2:51, also keep this in mind, removing battery, and pressing Power button after this insures no current left in the circuit and please try to wear anti-static gloves while working, its nicer that way rather than working with bare hands..😊
great work. Nice to see something newer. But what I like most is when you resurrect these old forgotten devices, with mods like color change etc. I am waiting for some lenovo thinkpad.
My nitro 5 have this flickering at 144hz. Initially, everything was fine. Then, my screen went half black so I changed it to 60hz. It was fine. Recently, I tried to change it back to 144hz and the problem remains. Now, mostly the screen is entirely black. I already updated both intel and Nvidia driver and nothing seems to work. 😢😢
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew ohh good to know sir mine failed unfortunately 😁😁 Sir your reply means a lot very old subscriber of yours from India since the early days of your channel my friends watches your content really awesome
all modern computers since 2000's all are Hot Swap, meaning if the battery is in, won't destroy the RAM. What I do se you NOT doing is anti static wrist strap keeping yourself grounded, even if the battery is taken out, you still could damage the system board.
Not true, hotswap may not affect a desktop PC but it sure can damage laptops e.g. dead backlights etc. and the anti-static angle is pretty dumb in 2024, it's well researched that modern electronics can easily handle lots of static discharge without failure, watch LTT and Electroboom collab on the topic.
I rarely use hot swap. To avoid something like that I just clean my hands and its enough to touch some metal, also while working I always wear cloths that cannot cause charging and discharging. Hot swap is like something "professional" but in theory. In more that 15 years working with this I never saw somebody to cause something from static.

You couldn't tell that it hadn't been in use for a very long time by the looks of those fans. They look like they've spent their lives sucking up blanket lint, lol.
hi cat and andrew please upload more for these newer laptops getting repaired :)
Andrew try out ptm 7950 it greatly reduces temperatures in my experience.
Will re lubricant needed for those fan after washing ？
Great video
It would be best if you changed the thermal paste & thermal pads.
Using isopropyl alcohol and a degreaser will remove all the grease from the fan bearings, which should then be regreased.
Mostly I do re-gresse, if the fan is removable then it's easy, if is not then using syringe and thin needle
What warranty?
That laptop lost it's warranty at least 2 years ago. Also where does your friend work in the dessert?
Also tell your friend to stop smoking near the laptop. That's not dust, dust is grey, that gunk is brown.

Hey Andrew I have a question please reply i want to know how i can clean keyboard marks from my laptop's screen ?
does that laptop have lifetime warranty?
The cleaning process was very satisfying to watch. Thanks for the great video
Hey bro please upload daily videos
It's hard bro, I mean it's hard to find all that tech that really needs to be fixed or restored for daily uploads. Daily I can do fake videos but not real ones.
Putting the keyboard back onto the pc then choosing to clean it wouldn't that just make dirt and grime fall right back into the interior of the laptop again?
Sometimes yes, but I reclean the whole thing many times, until I took all dirt. That is the most boring process :D
I know at least in the US opening up a laptop or breaking stickers cannot void your warrenty. I'm surprised that's still a thing in other countries to see that's allowed
must been the fastest laptop you have worked on shame its not yours. mine has a 4070 so the GPU prob better even though its older
Mine laptop is an old one :D I'm using desktop more because I need more speed and power and games sometimes :D
The isoprhopyl alcohol guy restoring a laptop 😅
You forgot Thermal paste change?
See 3:04
Laptop owner is probably a smoker
Heavy one :D
do you sell that???
Not mine bro, I just take, clean, repair, upgrade and return
Where the hell was that laptop used in
He travel a lot, this laptop has been in more places than probably I will go in my entire life :D
thats not dust, but cigarette smoke residue
Never use degreaser on any laptop part. Smh. Use isopropyl alcohol 99% with a toothbrush. If those fans have any kind of lubricant in the bearing, its gone now and they will fail.
Looks exactly like mine. It's I9 with 3070ti i love it.
where is the music?
Thi laptop had wery hard life huh🤔
No gloves?
Как у вас купить данное устройство?)
2:51, also keep this in mind, removing battery, and pressing Power button after this insures no current left in the circuit and please try to wear anti-static gloves while working, its nicer that way rather than working with bare hands..😊
By replacing the ram and disk, shouldn't the warranty be invalidated anyway?
12:53 Yeees, 64GB! Way to go with the upgrades - that's exactly what I'd have done :)
great work. Nice to see something newer. But what I like most is when you resurrect these old forgotten devices, with mods like color change etc. I am waiting for some lenovo thinkpad.
That is a very nice laptop, definitely.
did you add new oil to the fans? if so what kind?
