Nice video. The comment regarding ESD raised a good point though. A walk-through for upgrading RAM in the slots under the keyboard would also be really helpful.
Thank you so much for this video! My SSD is giving out on my GT72 Dominator Dragon Edition & I just ordered a new 1TB to replace the 2x 256GB that came with it. I'll be referencing your video on 08Jan2021 when it arrives to get it installed correctly. You're a lifesaver!
Hi. I have the same laptop 2qd dom pro and my laptops motherboard is not working do to a water damage inside charging port and it's turn on but no Screen and for my bad luck I live in iran so no one here can fix this and only choice I have is to order a motherboard for my laptop if any one can hook me with one even a link for 5700hq md I will be in his debt and thankful for rest of my life
you can actually use the spare HD bay to add a hard drive, ssd or HD SSHD, I owned the GT73 VR w 1070 GTX and 7820HK and I just sold it and downgraded to MSI GT72S 6Qf 4K w the 980 GTX 8GB, what I was dissapointed in is that the unit only supports 2 x pcie nvme and the other 2 slots are M.2 SSD so since my unit has 2 x 128 in raid 0 I would have to sell those off and replace with 2 x 256 or 2x500GB and raid 0 them but it is a fast unit w the 6820, after the sale I pocketed just over 500 and don't notice too much of a difference but overall the GT73 was more refined but lacked the 2 gpu option
excuse me, the socket for another hd (i want to install ssd 2,5" on it) is empty of any connection as it's shown on this video so, how could i connect it? My model is gt72vr 7qe. THANKS!
Hello! I have an MSI GT72vr 6rd. I bought it used and drive 2.5 is not installed, but neither is the flex cable with the sata. Where can I buy it? How is it called?
The tape looking thing that connects the SATA with the HDD on my laptop has fallen out and tring to push it in to place wont connect the hdd to the computer anymore
Sorry bit off topic but is it possible for the gpu to come off in any cases since my laptop has not been detecting my gtx 970m after updating intel drivers.
Nah, make sure u have the GPU turned on. There is literally a panel of buttons below the power button on this laptop that control numerous things, including RGB lighting, and integrated GPU functionality. So it's as simple as a click of a button. Though you likely figured this out by now. Source: I have a GT72 Dom 2QD

First you'll need a beer (the next step is very important) don't finish the beer and put it closer as you can to the laptop 🤣

Trying to replace the battery right now. What a gigantic unfortunate pain in the ass.
Thanks for the great video! I have never opened a laptop before but this looks pretty easy.

Are there existing connector mods available to install a drive in this extra drive space? That would be excellent.
Thanks for this video post, helped to see the install of M.2 SATA3 SSD. Thanks
Since no one mentioned it...if you close your eyes, you can almost hear Arnold.
Holly shit get to the chopper...
What is that m2 4 slot ssd adapter called/serial number?
What is the name for the hardware where you put in the ssd m2?
And Where I could buy that?
Thank you so much!
Nice ! I have the Same Notebook now i want to upgrade the Ram
hi can you please tell the name of expansion chip which you are using to expand M2 SSD
It only supports M. 2 Sata III or can use a Nvme M.2 also? Thanks.
I have the same laptop. It has 16 gig ram. Want ti upgrade to 32. Does the extra ram slot come empty from the manufacturer?
thanks man I appreciate it!
What size did you buy? or rather to this model of msi what is the size of m2 that you need
Hello!
I have an MSI GT72vr 6rd. I bought it used and drive 2.5 is not installed, but neither is the flex cable with the sata. Where can I buy it? How is it called?
Is there a video how to change the battery of this laptop? It doesn’t hold charge for me anymore
watch this: th-cam.com/video/i34xJBi-xDM/w-d-xo.html&t
Hello! Could you please tell me what is the maximum ssd capacity support for m2 slot?
What could be the problem, when I add Samsung EVO 970 ssd, my laptop doesn't even start to run when I press power button
NVMe is not compatible with the GT72 2QE. Has to be SATA.
The tape looking thing that connects the SATA with the HDD on my laptop has fallen out and tring to push it in to place wont connect the hdd to the computer anymore
how deos that card called which u can put 4 ssd cards into it
would it be possible to put a link for the new components ??...
Hello! Help. Did you immediately start the second SSD?
which memory did you get?

I think the motherboard is ready for DDR4, why you downgrade it with a DDR3 ?
Can this still carry high graphic functions today?
I wonder how we can use the second HDD slot :(
BEEER, CHEERS!!!
I have the GT72S cheers
Emmmm.... Why is he putting SATA m.2 SSD into NVMe m.2 SSD??
Hdd works on sata 2 speed instead of sata 3. Can't find what to change on the mobo. No one else noticed it
Found out, that sata 3 is only for ssd adapter due to hm87 chipset limitations
6:42 "click it in..." (WHAM!)
Is this version Intel 4th Gen or 5th Gen processor?
4th
Can't replace battery unfortunately
What was the problem? Just asking because I have a positive experience with such a replacement. Really not very convenient but possible.
How did you prevent Static discharge? ESD for your laptop
The internal battery also looked like it was still connected during upgrade installation. Isn't this a potential short issue?
@@middlepath3607 yes, you should remove battery first
Can we upgrade the laptop with intel optane ?
I dont think so.
Don't spill your drink on it dude
Do do this at home. just watch. xD
