Thanks for this recording - assambly/disassembly videos are always welcomed when I can repair my hardware on my own :D
All of the latitude laptops are awesome and built like a tank
it is a hassle to disassemble
OPEN ME UP that’s what makes it fun :)
I own a 7470 and 7491 and recently I bought my mom a e7440. Very nice laptop. Out of box Mint linux runs like a dream. The thing I needed to do was change the thermal paste.
if you watch the video i assume i was able to help you with that
thanks for create an amezing video...
thumps up....
thanks for your support
My 7450 died and the LED gave me the possible "processor failure". I bought an new motherboard for replacement. Do I have to take anything else into consideration when I attempt the surgery on the open laptop heart? I need to bay thermal paste, anything else though?
by the way: Awesome video!
nope beside thermal paste and a screw driver
I disassembled my Dell 7450 as per the tutorial, which was clear and easy to follow. Thank you. Liquid spilled on my keyboard, it doesn't work anymore and the screen is appearing upside down. I thought I might be able to dry it out and reassemble. That didn't work. What are my next steps? Will I replace the keyboard? Just the keypad? Or? How do I fix the screen? Thank you.
the screen is upside down probably because you press CTRL + ALT + UP, so just press the down instead up and it will fix the issue. you will need to replace the keyboard. once water gets in thats the end of it
@@OpenMeUpTec good
Watching on my dell latitude E7440! :P
Does your laptop fan spin at a noticeable speed often? I'm now starting to realise that the fan kicks up more often, especially when watching you tube videos.
+tristen briggz that's normal
For anyone that reads this 3 yrs after the fact, check out Dell Command Power Manager, nifty tool that allows you to have more control over battery charging options (without going into bios) and more control over fan speeds and cpu performance. (works on e7440 for certain)
Hi. Thanks a lot for that video. Do you think that it would be possible to use a motherboard with processor and RAM from that laptop to make a desktop out of it? Basically, I found a good deal for a mobo, so I am just wondering if I would plug it to an external screen with other peripherals, would it be working? :) Thanks for your reply ;)
nope. laptop motherboard require a laptop screen to boot up. Originally this wasnt need but many of the newer laptop have an error code for no screen detected. you will need to bypass this before the laptop can boot and display on a external screen
wow. thanks a lot for your reply. It wouldn't come to my mind that you need laptop screen to boot up.
for this laptop it requires a screen to boot. you can look at the user manual for the laptops and you will see many will have an error code for missing screen
Jesus, you have to disassemble the whole damn thing to reapply paste? Had I known this, I would've opted for different laptop. Goddammit
this is a basic laptop normally purchase by companies and they use it the whole time without re-pasting it and it works fine. therefore you should be fine
I saw that it is possible to customize this laptop with a discrete graphic card as the geforce 830/40M; I bought the basic model with only the integrated graphics but I was wondering if it would be possible to add the 830/40M later by my self. What do you think?
Thank you for the video.
nope you can't do it yourself plus there is no option for a graphic card you probably looking at the wrong model
thanks so much, humm nI need to put a new SSD, do you have reference that Imust look for? I wan make some 3D modeling (not big render just modeling) must I add change something else? thanks
nope nothing special. you need to reinstall windows or clone your current hard drive over to use the new one. other than that it should just work
Thanks a lot.
Hello, Are you still answering the questions?? If so, can I know whether I can replace the Hdd with a new ssd.
yes you can
By replacing hdd with ssd it'll speed up my laptop right? Thanks for answering my questions.
@@hemantht2962 sort of but for you, yes it will make it faster than it was before
@@OpenMeUpTec thanks for helping me decide
Is the wi fi and Bluetooth adapters combined in this model? My Bluetooth adapter disappeared, I watched the video and nothing is mentioned about the Bluetooth adapter?
yes it is the same thing. if you have wifi then you have bluetooth
hi, I have a E7450 and the trackpad has some bowing/bulging at the center. If I put the edge of a business card on it, I can slightly rock the business card, showing that the trackpad is NOT flat. Would it be possible for you to check if your trackpad has the same issue? Thanks !!!
+Francesco Caggioni sorry I no longer have the item to check for you
E7470's are completely different than the E7450's - we have both in the environment and the E7470 has changed significantly.
Yes I have been advised of this and will upload a video for the 7470 soon
Have you made the new video on the newest e7470? I just picked 2 up. Ive installed on my xps 15 9550 a Samsung pro 950 m.2. I want to install these on both Latitudes as they came with crap 128gb sanDisk x400. Even though I have a little Exp. in this, id feel more comfortable watching a video on my exact machine. Finally...I have been told even by dell CS (not that they all know what is going on) ,that you can upgrade the Processor from the i5 to i7. This would mean it is NOT soldered down. Any conformation on that? Thanks for all your videos!
sorry i dont have newer video on the products you are after, I can tell you that the cpu for both the 7470 and the 9550 is soldered on. I have provided you the user manual of the 7470 and it is soldered on. what dell is trying to say to you that there is a option when you buy the item to get i7 or i5. I will not be getting them as you may know i have to physically buy them to open them up and it is costing me too much. topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/latitude-e7470-ultrabook_Owner's%20Manual_en-us.pdf

Thanks for the reply. No actually I didnt know that you had to buy them yourself. That's crazy man, the service you put out is worth money...what a shame. Thanks for letting me know. I'm having a hard time finding much solid evidence on this e7470 on the ssd capability. Some say that the 512 Samsung 950 pro will not work on the e7470 because it is NMVE. Would you happen to know if the e7470 can operate the 950 pro. I was told only SATA, PCLE, and SED. I don't even know what SED is actually. Anyways, again i appreciate the reply and the info.
it's not like that, just lift it from the front side first and slide it toward the touch pad do not try to lift it from the back side, I mean the key keyboard I saw many guys doing and showing as it's the right way but it's wrong!
Hi for the track pad ribbon cable do you know the exact replacement and where to buy it.
nope
should the fan start up right as i turn on my computer? i have the dell latitude e7440, and i think ive been having overheating problems. my computer shuts off very often. i just replaced the thermal paste but it's still happening...once i applied the paste i turned my computer on, but my computer still shuts off all of a sudden and i'm at a loss. it doesnt get hot before it shuts off anymore either, i feel the computer and its barely warm. i dont know what to do about this.
it get hots and to protect the system it turns off. if this happen everytime you turn it on it should turn off faster than before since it is already hot to being with this is how you confirm it. otherwise you can download CPU-z or something else that should you temperture.
@@OpenMeUpTec Since it gets hot, what should I do? I have a cooling pad, I replaced the internal fan, and I replaced the paste with new thermal paste.
@@gwenr4173 the first thing you need to do is replace the thermal paste. if you have not done that it will generally resolve the issue
@@OpenMeUpTec I replaced it, but the CPU still reaches up to 94C when i run diagnostics
Hello guys! My Dell latitude e7450, battery (40wh standard , type v8xn3 of 11.1 volts is dead. So I wanna buy a new battery, it's okay to buy a 47wh or a 54wh one? Need your help please because it's no easy to find a 40wh where I'm living now.
Thanks in advance.
So if i just want to replace thermal paste, i should open up whole body right?
yep because thats at the end. so you need to watch the whole video and then continue on at the end
OPEN ME UP damn, thats hardcore
Anyway, thanks for the reply, really appreciate the video you made
My E7440 is so slow, that's like having an old hard drive until I opened it up and realized I have a mSATA 250GB but I thought they are faster?
they are probably your SSD is stuff because it is too old. they do die after sometime.
@@OpenMeUpTec Thanks.By the way a great video. Whoever is making videos must see this as a guide on how to make a good explanatory video.
@@kazkazo6709 thanks for your support
Dear Friend e7450 and 7470 dispay with bottom case is the same?
they should be the same. i know for sure the 7450 and 7440 are the same thing but the 7470 the base and motherboard layout was slightly different
Hello,
Nice video. Does anyone know where is lid sensor and if it is replaceable in e7450? Mine seems to be broken :( Screen is on after closing the lid . Thank you in advance for the answer. Regards, Marcin
it is normally on the bottom of the mouse pad. it is magnetic
What time do you take out the Processor???
CPU is solder on, ram can be changed to 16GB max with 8GB in each slot and there are 2 slots, wireless card can be changed, 3G 4G card can be changed, and hard drive is a 2.5 inch thin 7mm
Where is the graphics card on this computer (e7450) I want to look into upgrading the graphics card for better gaming and video editing (yes I know this is not the best computer for that), I have heard of people changing graphic cards on laptops, can you on this laptop, and we're or how can you get the ram, if I want to upgrade to 16 from 8 gb, any advice is appreciated thx.
hardly any laptop can add or change their graphic card as it is solder on. this laptop does not have a graphic card and if it did it would be solder on. only big expensive laptop generally have the ability to change their graphic card but now newer laptop also have them solder on as well since it makes the laptop thinner and lighter
I have been doing reaserch and considering adding a egpu on this laptop whats your opinion on that?
dont. not many of them are confirmed as safe and working correctly. right now they are available and work but have a few issues. wait for a few months and proper EGPU will be available with USB and thunder bolt connection.
who would release that and isnt there a thunderbolt connection already? and would a geforce 750ti with 2gb get be medium graphic settings on bf4 with no lag and can you explain how the gpu on this computer works it says i have a intel 5500, isnt that diffrent from a video card?
that is from the CPU and a intel 5500 is nothing compared to a graphic card. it can do normal things like display a web page but cant really do any games
Audio must be behind. You claim you found the hard drive after beginning to point out the WWN card.
thanks for your support, i will look into it for my future video and try to resolve it
I have this laptop E7450 nearly half of a year but from the star I have problém with graphic driver. Everytime when I have video playbacking from youtube or somewhere else on the internet I getting message that graphic driver stopped and was recovered. Video is stopped and black screen flashes. It is not possible to fix it with new drivers, new bios or even with new motherboard !!! Also I tried every version of Windows... 7,8,10.I dont recomeding this laptop for everyone....
normally just update the graphic card software which is Intel HD graphic and you should be fine if not then it is faulty
+OPEN ME UP did you read my post? I wrote there that I tried everything... so driver was the first thing
Sorry for the misunderstanding what I meant is the graphic card software from dell not the official Intel HD software which is always never than the one dell has on offer. Please note windows update will also install the newest driver available so be aware of that This was a common issue with dell and ATI. You can search it up for more details. At the worst case it is faulty. I had this issues a few time before and it was always software issue with mines
+OPEN ME UP thank you, but I know what you told me. I tried it. Also dell change me a motherboard becouse of that but still same sh..t. Update is disablet
Anybody else have complaints about the battery? Mine won't hold a charge more than 30 minutes. Thinking of making a DIY vid on upgrading the RAM and replace the battery. Stay tuned...
your battery is dead/dying if it doesnt hold more than 30 minutes
@@OpenMeUpTec Figured as much. After I make my video the first thing I'll do is get a docking station.
Here's my 2020 video for people still searching for this topic: th-cam.com/video/1VTD2AiDqnY/w-d-xo.html
Hi is the wireless card connecting by pci-e
yes
is it support SSD MSata or M.2 Sata...?
2.5 inch hard drive for this model
Is there any GPU slot to install in?
no. it is rare to find a laptop that allows you to do that now days
Hey I damaged the screen and want to replace it myself any advice and can you maybe help find lcd screen on Amazon
I think I found it
user manual show you everything. it will tell you how to remove and replace every part possible in the laptop
Can I upgrade the display of my dell e7470 from 720 to 1080 display ?
yes
so we cant change the processor in this laptop right?!
nope
Sir, I have one hdd can i use both ssd and hard drive.
there is only a slot for one hard drive in this.
@@OpenMeUpTec that means i cannot use hdd and ssd at same time?
@@KO-nr2rr you only have on slot therefore you can only put/use one thing at a time.
@@OpenMeUpTec very bad this laptop. No Gpu
@@KO-nr2rr you got the wrng laptop . this laptop doesnt need a GPU it purpose was for work only
how to replace thermal paste?
+aš its in the video watch it.
Does anyone know if the password jumper on the bottom or top of the motherboard? Thanks for the reply.
+Juan Caba i dont think there si one but then you can read the user manual it probably say something about it
Can we insert 2 SSD??
no
1 mSATA (Ex: Samsung 850EVO 250GB) + 1 SSD/HDD (2.5 inch)
can i use ddr4 ram in dell latitude e7450
yes it only comes with ddr4 and only can use ddr4
Does this laptop support using a M.2 / NVMe solid state hard drive? Or, does it need to use the SATA connection?
you can not use NVMe in this laptop. it only uses a SATA connector
Hi all, can anyone help me with this , I need to reset the bios , because I get an "service tag" and I do not know the password , some people told me disarm pc and disconnect all ... I tried but it did not work , you can anyone help ?
+Javier Delgado they cant make it that easy for you to remove the password. the password is store in the motherboard
Thank you. Then I can do nothing. If i have the schematic can i find the bios in a chip?
yes it is and you can short circuit it to remove the password but then you lose the bios and bricking your laptop
ok firend, one question more, please, one solution can it be change the mother board.
you can replace the motherboard if thats what you are asking. Motherboard is expensive as it has the cpu solder on to it
how man mhz was the ram sir
Argh, NEVER touch the RAM contacts! You can cause microdamage to the wafers from static. You also don't have any antistatic precautions (worktable/wrist strap, etc).
thanks for your concern. i have done about 100 of these video without the proper precaution and nothing has happen. i have even tried to damage things on purpose and still doesnt happen. this was an issue with older hardware but now it is not a concern anymore.
Unless you are shuffling your feet on the carpet before touching it, there's very little risk.
nice video but 8:44 oops 9:15 I vomit here wtf u doing...lol
11:12 A CUT! YOU LOSE MY RESPECT , why cutting out the hard part??? shame on you
thanks for your support. i had to take the laptop off screen to pry it open. as it is too hard to pry it open while leaning forward.
tf?
