    Hi everyone! Some info in the description.
    Note: disconnect the fan from the PC if you blow air on it or keep the fan still to prevent it from reaching excessive speeds. Don't overdo it with air: electrical current could flow back to the motherboard or the fan could be damaged by the pressure (deforming the structure), or dust could enter from behind towards the rotor if the spray is misdirected: th-cam.com/video/Q2BJgp_0BcY/w-d-xo.html

      @OrdinaryLife-ABC I honestly don't know how to change my hard drive in this eee900. It has 2 issues, the guy who I bought it from put a 4 digit password in bios (changing hard drive will fix this I think) and he disabled usb port, sd port etc but once drive put in that should fix that too. It has xp but I would like win7 hard drive put in. Basically once I send it to you, it will boot up and you can go on Google but nothing else works.

    I got an Eee PC 701 at home, with non-upgradable storage of 4 gb. The ram was upgradable to 2gb, but not the storage. So it's really hard to get ANY os to run on it. I managed to somehow install an older version of Puppy Linux and Firefox 113, connect it to my wifi network and access my Mealie server in the kitchen, so it does kind of work.

    • @OrdinaryLife-ABC
      @OrdinaryLife-ABC  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      For metal surfaces a different method and a completely different polishing paste (specific for metals) are needed, while for plastic surfaces it's fine (in fact, I have polished acrylic watch glasses and different plastic surfaces with it, ). If you want professional products, you can find everything online, including polishing pastes of various grades and all kinds of pads (for these small jobs, I use pieces of a good new microfiber cloth). Pay attention to the type of plastic you are starting with, if it is rough, scratched, damaged, coated, painted, it may require different approaches. I hope I have been helpful to you

    I have the AMD version and while it handles 8GB of RAM just fine which makes Linux a lot snappier unlike your model I had to completely disassemble it to get to the HDD to swap for the SSD. talk about a PITA.

    • @OrdinaryLife-ABC
      @OrdinaryLife-ABC  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes, having to disassemble everything to reach the HDD is quite annoying. These 2GB are enough for me because, after years, I feel like studying programming again and instead of sitting with the bigger laptop on my knees, for sofa use and 10 minutes of code lines, this is great. The battery still lasts an eternity for how I use it. Bye and have a good day!
