My hand is ok 😅I bashed it on the metal end-plate of the front desk while hurrying for the phone. It was savage and I barely survived.
You're not wrong about the cheap pre-owned laptops. Two caveats I'd like to add though: First, a lot of modern laptops don't have an optical drive anymore and there may be people to whom this is important. You can just get an external USB one but that's another purchase and another device to be "flappin' around in the breeze". It's not my view but I have seen people complain about it. Second (and perhaps more important): Support for Win10 ends in 2025. A lot of the used laptops you can get right now (especially the really affordable ones) do not meet the official system requirements for Win11. Yes, you can install it anyway, at least for now. But there's no guarantee that it'll stay like that or that MS isn't going to trip you up with an update somewhere down the road. Someone buying a cheap used laptop now might encounter issues in less than 2 years. Maybe they'd have to fiddle around in the registry to ignore the system requirements (at their own risk) or maybe they'd have to switch to Linux or something. Making an older laptop good now until the market for used ones has a better offering of fully Win11 compliant models might just be a valid strategy, even if it costs a little bit of money. Just thinking out loud here…
Hi sir I am reaching out to you in a hope you can help I dismantled my pc to give it a clean unfortunately i dropped the motherboard and a capacitor fell of now it doesn’t work I saved up for months to buy it now I can’t use it and I am very upset if I send it to you could you please help me
Great video as always, many thanks.
Pro Tip: For that type of wiring it's much easier and quicker to use bare wires. Take a single strand of wire from a multi-strand wire cable or use different wire that has easily removable plastic insulation.
From my experience with old Windows 7 laptops, if you put 8gb ram in them + an SSD and Windows 10, they become useful again, that is if you can find drivers for them. Something else that works great is to install Chrome OS Flex if they're compatible. They make nice little browsing laptops.
hi i need to know how much mostly is gonna cost for that repair? thanks mate..
i’m surprised you did that considering
I think a mouse button it was perfect
What you saying at the start "hello dwerbs"?
i'm looking and looking … just turn it at 45 😀
Too often you do customers a favor with a low-cost repair such as that, and they snivel "It's not like the original." I would get an OK to install anything but an exact replacement for the factory switch no matter how silly that would be.
The most expeditious way to handle this would have been to solder the button diagonally.
Good God man!…what happened to your left hand?
Good job
Looks like a diagonal mount would have been solderable? Still, liked the repair.
I found out about super glue and the fumes in the eyes , hurts like hell
Another "nostalgic" advanture! Thanks for the experience! Full respect, very good job ✌👏
Great video, thanks for sharing 🙂
I would’ve run the wires between each set of pads then solder the switch to the middle of the wires. Nice video, another laptop saved from going to the landfill
great bit of improv there
Yeah, your kapton is crap. I got it too… 🙁
Hello, is there an injury on the left hand or did I miss something?
When I'm fixing my own stuff, I always look through my parts to see if there is something I can "make do" to fix it. But I'm a cheap old codger who hates to spend money on things.
I enjoyed that video 👍
Hi Graham. Hope you are OK, seeing the state of your left hand ⛑. I was wondering why there were no live stream on Saturday ? Take care.
It's always nice to see the customers story. Nice to get a better idea of how a repair shop runs. More of that please. Great vid as always. Thank you.
Good job Graham , ghetto repair fitting for said ghetto computer…
Cleaning would be good
The "kapton tape" gave me a good laugh
Honest Abe fixes 😂
Your left hand looks rough. Did you punch a pipe end? Great advice on cheep laptop upgrades via components or refurbished units.
If you do the SSD in this could you show the windows install and take the personal section off the old OS and put it into the new install? You did it before but I can't find the video
I have some of that yellow selotape too!!
I never used bit locker anyways but now see you need a flash drive to unlock it
Make good ie "ghetto" fixes are my favorite to watch. Kinda like the difference between a proper car mechanic who can remove and fix a broken part compared to a lowly fitter who can only replace a broken part with a new part. Another great video thanks.
