Video

2024 and this video made love you! My fans died on me and I was planning on just replacing them until you showed the manufacturing issue. Now I will try to change the paste myself and it will probably feel like a new laptop after 4 years. Thank you so much for allowing me to do this mysefl!!

This worked great for my G2ZX. Thanks

*** Next to the video cable, be real careful with the tape that holds down the webcam connector. lift it in the same direction as in this video.

Can. I charge my phone with one cell only ?? It charges for 10 seconds only then stops charging and the screen and give that my battery is 0% Despite that if I put a led USB light or used the internal light , it operates find

SD card didn't work .

Love my surefire mine is not broken I still watched just in case I'm flashlight nutt

Great work. Do you have a link to the link to the x axis box?

Hello! Your disassembly of the laptop is very helpful and with it I’d like to ask a question. Since the fans and heat sink assembled seem to be connected to fix the fan is it required to replace the entire thing or is it possible to replace the fans by themselves? Thanks in advance 😁

I know this is an old video, but my right fan (top down, by the power button) is doing all sorts of weird things. It makes a terrible buzzing sound constantly and sometimes, it turns off while the left one is wide open, and it just comes on in spurts. Like... buzz........buzz......buzz......buzz....buzz.... Any clue? All the PC repair shops I've talked to said to just buy a new computer. That's a hard pill to swallow since I paid almost 2k for this thing about 2.5 years ago. No one wants to work on it but surely a fan replacement can't be that bad. You took yours apart in about an hour (Ik now parts of this vid were sped up). I'm afraid I don't have the skill to do it myself. What if I mailed it to you? lol.

Not viable service maintenance. Once the twisty mecha has been removed the rivet may not be able to be hammered back in securely. Just replace the twisty internals with a proper Z41 McClicky upgrade, that would be the most appropriate step to do......

Where the uploads at?😢

just what i was looking for

Just followed what you said and my G2 is back on service since it got stuck in dirt year ago! Thank you for your video!!

any idea of disassembling the fan from the heat sink? thanks a lot, great video

Thank you for the video. It definitely helped me better understand the battery and the charger. Awesome job, thank you 🙏

I've been needing to repaste mine for a while now, but the task is pretty overwhelming to say the least. Then, about two weeks ago, the fans up and died on me. I guess everything happens for a reason, huh? 🤷‍♀️😅 Anyway, your video is an absolute lifesaver. I've watched it a couple times, and I'll be using it as a guide to fix mine this weekend. Fan replacement. 🤞 I just wanted to say thank you! This is such a huge help!

Unsure if you are aware, but if you drain the power until it no longer charges a device then fully charge it, the display should read 100% and give you a close reading of battery life. BTW, you might need to do this twice for a more accurate reading.

Mine doesn’t pass the short test. What else can I do?

I wish to know what kind of screwdrivers you used. I tried to get the screws out of the battery and have failed. My screwdrivers for that bent. Taking off the back cover was easy.

Is it still good or damaged

Hi. Im a fan from the philippines ,May i ask if it's normal for a flashlight with press button switch to make a little rattling sound specifically on the tail cap when you shake it? The flashlight works just fine tho, it's just that rattling sound bothers me i wonder what's the cause of that. I hope you can answer my question thanks a lot!

how many hours does it take for a full charge?

THANKS FOR THIS MY G2 BUTTON IS FUNCTIONAL AGAIN!!

Thank you for the review!

I know this is an old video, but thanks anyway. 😄 You helped me a lot especially with the screws, I tend to overlook one or two when I have to disassemble something this complex. Lots of cables and screws... Also I like to see how much force one applies to a part when you have to open it up to make sure I don't break anything. My idle temps dropped 15-20°C, although the peak is still above 80 even when not in game. 💦🙄

Can you remove the fans from the heatsink or is it a single unit ?

how do I clean fans? do I like vaccum it out? or take them out and do deep clean idek I just need help

Mine didn't work that way,had to sit it a different way

What do you call the the layered composite thermal sheet? Possibly copper, graphene and silicone Dell didn't want to tell me. Mine is delaminating. I took it out and replaced it with Gelid ultimate 15W thermal pads. I'm not convinced in my workmanship nor do I have good comparison temps (lack of baseline) While 15W/mK is ok, It's not copper or graphene. Thoughts or suggestions?

when i put the battery in the charger i see 4 lines buy the flash light does not work . its litezall flash light.

Your nails look amazing

as a full time dell service technician, not bad at all. i tear these down in 10 minutes. Ive must have taken apart over 10,000 laptops and 1 thing I learned is always refer to the service manuals for screw locations. you had me pulling my hairs out on some parts of this video. not bad though

Can’t get the bottom of it off any tips?

I couldn't reopen mine. Let me know if you did?

The 2 ports on the device a separate, one is rated @ 5v 2.1 amp and the other is 5v@1.0 amps

Where are the RAM slots?

hi i don't know if that would fit the HP laptop i have right now if i buy that laptop stand

Do you screw the plastic plunger all the way in tight or leave a little gap for the button to play?

Yours looked immaculate compared to mine. I would never have figured out how to get this apart without the video. Thanks!

You're really not going to show it with the laptop on it... and what height level it's at... FAIL

All laptops are the same inside. Very shitty design. We need a real update from these companies. There should be a perfect solution for heat dissipation. I have tons of ideas. I am sure this guy would design a better one if Dell gave him a chance to talk to the engineers who designed this.

Wonderful job !!!!! Thank you so very much for all your hard work on this !!!!!! :-)

I have a question about the hinges? I have a M17 R2 version, but it is built the same as this one. It fell the otherday and the hinge connection points that connect to the back of the display broke from the rest of the display. When I looked up what the exact part name was, dell's manual says its a Hinge-Up Display and to fix the hinges the entire thing screen must be replaced. Is this true or am I reading the wrong thing?

That was cool. The rivet part looks like the only tough piece to put back. Seems like it should have been designed better. A cheapie part, that compromises a tactical light seems pretty dumb. Gonna try it. I don't think the caps are available to buy or get replaced from Surefire.

Hi! Amazing video, I have the same laptop and i accidentally got water in the LCD screen. Do you know the specifications for a replacement screen?

if i dont use the m15 r3 for gaming and am getting50-75 degrees Celsius is that good or bad?

Should have shown the stand from the front with the laptop on it.

How do i get to the keyboard ribbon wire?
