I just bought a Dell M3800 on ebay and when it arrives I'll be restoring it to great condition! The ebay seller noted it boots to the bios so I know its working.
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew I agree and I won the RELISTED auction for it for £190.56 as the first time I failed to win the auction on the same laptop but now I didn't. The only bad design choice is that I'll have to disassemble the whole laptop to clean the keyboard but it will be okay. I might try to make a video on it. Thanks for your response! ^^
Update: I got pretty good deals on almost all parts for the Precision M3800. +16GB DDR3L-1600 SK Hynix for £35 (usually goes for 45 - 60) +Back cover for £9.95 (most went for 20 or more) +Brand new OEM Dell Charger for £25 (Usually sells for £39.99) Now I'm looking for deals on a 512GB mSATA SSD and a new battery. The cheapest battery I found goes for £22.50 is not OEM but is brand new however I'd have to drive 50 miles with my father as I can't drive yet to pick it up as its collection only. The cheapest brand new 91WH dell one is like £99 and that's too much..
Hey everyone! Good news! The laptop is fully functional and now clean! It has a tiny screen pressure mark but overall its in great condition and i am typing this comment from it right now! Its thin and can run Rocket League at 1080p60 fps VSYNC ON (vsync is a must as its much smoother) it has 16GB of RAM in it now and I have repasted the CPU and GPU with Cooler Master E1 thermal paste. Its really good and for £312.81 it was a steal as it is worth £545 on ebay and definitely more elsewhere. It is one amazing piece of hardware.
Me too, because it was my laptop since freshman year at uni and I was boss with bang and olufsen speakers until I visited the US and they stole it from me.
Heat dissipation on laptop graphics cards isn't as pronounced as that on a desktop equivalent. This is especially true for graphics memory. You're more likely to run into GPU overheating issues before being thermally restricted by a memory module overheating. Just the heatsink mount is sufficient for the use case scenario. Although some thermopads on the module would have increased heat transfer efficiency, it is definitely not necessary.
I have this exact laptop - HDD died so popped in SSD and doubled RAM from 8GB to 16GB - goes like the clackers. Fantastic for internet, Office 365, streaming and TM Forever.
Wow, I love watching you restore old computers. I took inspiration from you and decided to restore one of my old macbooks after watching your video. Now my 2011 Macbook Pro is perfect for web browsing. I use it more than my 2018 macbook pro because I feel safer carrying around the older model!

hi master andrew. i have to ask you. is samsung netbook N150plus with intel/atom inside. / 1slot 2gb ram. can i change or upgrade the CPU? in to i3 or i5?. 8gbram.?
Asus laptops like this USED to only support 16GB of RAM, but them rumor has it (i read this on a Coreboot reddit thread) some dude online found out that with a few tweaks to the embedded controller firmware 16GB sticks can be used instead of just 8 (therefore making it 2x16 or 32). ASUS and a few other companies caught wind of this and was basically like "oh shit that's cool" and released firmware updates for all their older laptops to enable this. ASUS rocks for still supporting their older stuff like that if its true.
I have N43s, it used to overheat when playing Street Fighter 4 for more than 15 minutes. I blew some air with blower into the fan vent, problem solved. Would love to do what you did in this video for a more complete cleaning though.
I noticed that you didn't apply any thermal paste on that one area which has not kapton and that black rectangle areas around the gpu is guess? Why is that? Can we put thermal pad in that areas?
I have the same laptop, except mine has an i5 and a 2gb 540m. Only 2 ram slots with 8gbs of ram total and 2 ssds (the dvd drive was dead so i replaced it with a sata caddy). Awesome video

Just what I wanted to see. I have the same laptop but the i5 version and just bought an SSD 512. I will have to watch this vid many times before trying to do the deep cleaning and the thermal paste stuff. Any way, thanks for the vid and gained a new sub
Awesome work 🥰👍🎉 I’ve been “re-rewatching” some of your back catalogue as I love the work you do 🥰🥳! Btw when I originally purchased this laptop after launch I received a “RECALL” on it by shop I purchased it from due to a potential capacitor fault causing fire ….. I wonder if your friend still uses this laptop?
Four SODIMM slots on a notebook... I don't think I've seen that before. You could've upgraded the CPU as well, but a Core i7 2670QM is almost the best this notebook will support. You could go up to a Core i7 2860QM for a bit more CPU and iGPU power, but those are actually quite expensive and not that easy to get a hold of. Generally a SSD makes almost any notebook usable again, even if the rest is limited. A Core i5 or i7 from the 2nd Core i generation (Sandy Bridge and above) will still provide more than enough processing power for a notebook you're not planning on pushing too hard. i3 CPUs are OK, but you do run into bottlenecks much faster.
Hello Andrew i have question about this laptop. you know the wifi switch? rigth side next to dvd module. When start the switch to turn on the wifi, the computer turn off ( exactly like stand by mode) ¿you know why? thank you
Hi Andrew, I really like your work. I do thinks like this alot, but your cleaning process is way better than mine. 😅 This week I became my old Hardware back from a friend of mine and restored it. The only downside is the case. He sprayed it and it looks horrible for now. Currently I'm working on an HP G7. It was in bad conditions and had a water damage. I cleaned everything but it needs some seconds to initialise the video output. I've upgraded the CPU to an I7 2620m and the RAM to 16GB. I've changed the HDD to an SSD and it works great for slight gaming with the HD6470 1GB. I'll manage to overclock the GPU so that it can run faster in games.
Thank you bro :D btw take more time and you will clean it great also, even better, why not. About the sprayed case, you can use water sand paper 1000 grid to remove the painting, but than you will need to apply new paint
Great Video ! Just purchased the same laptop. What do you use to install the drivers ? Windows 10 automatic updates or a driver program software ? Keep up the great work !!
Ha!, I still have the same model but the 6Gb ram version. My wife mostly uses it to watch movies but its great if you want to play not very demanding games, most games from 2010 to 2015 will play OK. I think after seen this I think I will upgrade the hard drive and the ram and use it to play LoL and WoW Classic at work.
I'm glad that he's a very careful with that laptop. I would be a very careful, too. It's always nice to be rewarded with a laptop that performs very smoowed, after being a very careful.
I know this is an old vlog but perhaps vlogger still remembers this computer and this vlog...i did every step as recommended and replaced dc jack and board and new charging unit..initially there was smoke coming out of dc jack when i plugged it in and then ofcourse it went dead. Anyway i was really expecting it to work..the battery light is on but it wont power on. Could you suggest other issues perhaps? Also at this point im more worried of salvaging contents of my internal drive, how do i do this?
We apply thermal paste to the processor crystal and the graphics card crystal, and the third crystal is the chipset. For the chipset you need to use a thermal pad, for example this one, Laird T-Flex 760 15mm*15mm* 1.5mm Thermal conductivity:: 5W/mk Color:: Gray
Hello! My mother in law have this piece of beauty and I upgrathe the RAM and disk to SSD and works veryt smooth. But now, it's having an issue with the keyboard because the connector has "erased" the contacts in the flat cable. How can I restore/repair this contacts? In some places I've seen the "conectivity ink", this works? Tnx a lot!
Hey I have the same exact laptop as this one. I wanted to update my laptop but where can I find the drivers? the Asus website doesnt have the drivers for this laptop
After all the changes you had made, did you do a format or clone the old hard drive to the new SSD drive? If you cloned, I would recommend you do a format to really feel the changes and speed.
I love the way how professionally you do each work, mostly you have a box to separate screws and nice cleaning tools 😀

Why you didn't applied also fresh thermopads on graphics memory (which is missing for some reason) and chipset?

I know this is an old vlog but perhaps vlogger still remembers this computer and this vlog...i did every step as recommended and replaced dc jack and board and new charging unit..initially there was smoke coming out of dc jack when i plugged it in and then ofcourse it went dead. Anyway i was really expecting it to work..the battery light is on but it wont power on. Could you suggest other issues perhaps? Also at this point im more worried of salvaging contents of my internal drive, how do i do this?
Nice! I have same notebook and gonna upgrade it
your voice is calming
what kinds of liquid did you use to clean the screen? is it alcohol?
Very informative video. Instead of using 4 x 4 GB RAM, can i use 2 x 8 GB RAM? Does it have to be 1333 MHz for it to work? Thanks.
Well, if this laptop was mine I would take care of it perfectly, tbh even this old one here in Brazil costs a lot..
you are a very good friend.peace
what is the third square covered by the cooler? why isn't there any thermal paste on it?
We apply thermal paste to the processor crystal and the graphics card crystal, and the third crystal is the chipset. For the chipset you need to use a thermal pad, for example this one, Laird T-Flex 760
15mm*15mm* 1.5mm
Thermal conductivity:: 5W/mk
Color:: Gray
Thank you for your help@@vladimirazirov1815
These videos are really satisfying
Hello! My mother in law have this piece of beauty and I upgrathe the RAM and disk to SSD and works veryt smooth.
But now, it's having an issue with the keyboard because the connector has "erased" the contacts in the flat cable. How can I restore/repair this contacts? In some places I've seen the "conectivity ink", this works?
Tnx a lot!
I have the same computer, I press the power button, it does not turn on, what can I do???
BEST REBUILD OF ALL TIME!
Thank you bro :D

Do you know the preferred anti static cleaner we should purchase and from where?

Hey I have the same exact laptop as this one. I wanted to update my laptop but where can I find the drivers? the Asus website doesnt have the drivers for this laptop
Salute for your highness... works...
what do u use to clean the surface of ur laptop that makes it look like new?
That's the problem I was talking about Bro Hope you remember me 😅😅 My laptop also overheats even without doing any work on it
Use throttlestop and reduce the cpu clock speed and undervolt it, or .... clean it's internals
After all the changes you had made, did you do a format or clone the old hard drive to the new SSD drive? If you cloned, I would recommend you do a format to really feel the changes and speed.
Hi bro, I done clean install of Windows, I always do clean install, because to avoid virus, malware or some unwanted applications
