Dell XPS laptop screen replacement (this used to be easy)

- Replacing the screen on a laptop used to be a 5 minute job, but now with all the tape and adhesive, it takes much longer and is more difficult to do without damaging other parts of the computer . I understand pc tech gets thinner and smaller but is it worth trading ease of repair? Technology doesn't always have to sacrifice longevity for function, but it seems that's the road we're going down.
I love getting bullied by *THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT'S EVER LIVED*

Screen really didn't live, that's why it was sent to him to be repaired
@@withereddanthefnaffan98 Yeah and the company was stupid enough to make a screen like that.
The stupidest screen of history vs the stupidest screen that lived.
I want to let you know that your shorts and videos helped break down the fundamentals of computer repair to me. I was able to repair my mom’s gaming pc after the BIOs committed self corruption due to a bad snapshot when her computer went to sleep. You’re not just the greatest technician to ever live, you’re the greatest tech teacher to ever live.
"mom's" gaming pc?
There are girl gamers and who knows maybe he's only like 15 ? I started getting into PCs at 14 and built my first at 15.
"Bad snapshot when computer went to sleep" thats not how it works
@@aviralchauhan2151 Yes it’s actually hers! She built it herself. Her favorite game is 7 Days to Die.
@@diode_exe I’ll admit that I probably didn’t use the right terms. I’m a geology student, not a computer expert. All I know is that I had to take out the CMOS battery because the BIOS messed up to the point the computer wouldn’t even power on.
Meanwhile apple wants you to replace the whole screen including the clamshell cover
Customer : The keyboard x key stopped working.
Apple : Hmm. The repair price will be 2,000. Maybe you should just buy a new one ?
And for the small price of almost a new computer! What a coincidence!
But you gotta admit: that display is THIN and those bezels are THIN as well! But yeah, Apple just though: fuck repairability, let’s make a simple phone screen repair cost more than the phone is worth :3
Yes I use an iPhone, but man I just droppen my phone yesterday, only the glass has to be replaced, not even the display, but it’s gonna cost me twice as much as the phone is worth 😭
Dell will also send the whole thing including cover. The expensive part of the whole area is the screen, so rather spend a couple of $ extra in plastics and cheap edp cables than in 2 hours of labour of someone performing surgery on a screen.
@@jorgeandrespalma2134
A friend of mine had a display shipped to him for his M16 R1.
When I opened the box, I was QUITE RELIEVED to see they shipped the entire display+lid assembly.
Although I love that no other adhesive and effort were needed to install a panel-only, the tech suppprt and warranty hoops you have to jump through to get Dell to send it is a headache.
In under 10 minutes, this guy is a true tech wizard.

I've worked on a lot of HP products and some of their newer products (at the time, not sure about now) also used adhesive for their screens. It is hard for me to overstate how horrible working with a delicate screen is when the adhesive is really strong. Even if it wasn't broken before, the screen definitely would be after it was taken out. They technically listed a way of removing the adhesive that might avoid breakage of the screen, but it didn't consistently work. I don't understand why it's so horrible using screws instead of adhesive. It works well.
THE GRATEST TECHNICIAN THAT EVER LIVED 🔥🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥
That XPS joke caught me off-guard, I love your humor.
Thats why guys buy the framework laptop, sure it does not as sexy and not as properly built but hey u yourself can replace and repair it easily. And u have a plethora of io, and u can choose whatever might fancy u..
I think bro worked on FBI (Female Body Inspector) Before being the greatest technician thats ever lived.

No trumpet here boss. I kept the res and cat, that's where people mess up with these. All the VQ needs is a beefier muffler to let it purr without the rasp
Somebody help this man's mental health out and send him a framework laptop to repair.
Cracked screen has a new meaning now
I remember giving my laptop to a repair shop to repair my screen but they ended up breaking it even more and telling me that they couldnt get the screen for that laptop.
It feels like simple parts of any electronic device is getting more expensive which sucks for the repair business and I bet companies are glad that people are buying a laptop every year because they keep breaking
Don’t have a wife and instructions were unclear, so now I’m married to the greatest technician that’s ever lived.
That's why I love ThinkPads
They regularly call them "StinkPads" here, lol
@@pcmark-nlnewer generation ThinkPads, yes
My XPS 15 is over 8 years old now and still runs like a champ. But i also take good care of my tech. It might need an internal cleaning tho... 🤷♂️
I replaced my dell screen at home, bought it from eBay £53, and learned from CZcams video. I needed a double sided tape adhesive.
At least you didn’t have to disassemble the entire laptop to get to the screen’s wires.
I salvaged two laptops with taped down screens like this. If you are really careful, they don't break, BUT they became even more fragile then before, just like a piece of paper 😂
XPS= Xanax, Percocet, Sunny-D
The concoction that will help you tolerate Dell’s quality control
i did a laptop screen once in six minutes the customer had only just left the store and was in disbelief that it was done so quickly. there was only eight screws holding the whole upper panel together, four for the bezel and four for the screen no clips no tape.
Fun fact: if you look up "the greatest technician that has ever lived" salam pops up
I'm waiting for Framework repair. This will be the calmest video you will ever make.
Am I the only one who saw the Taylor swift and Lupe sticker ?
Me too! (Was trying to find this comment)
Instructions unclear:My mother disowned me
I honestly have always preferred hardware repair/replacement. Mostly because screen replacements are anger inducing 75% of the time.
These screens aren't meant to be replaced. The whole topcase has to be replaced, even for a camera defect. That's what we do with under warranty XPS's. It's make more e-waste, but what can you do.
The most caring technician that ever lived😊!
If needed to remove the screen, use a hairdryer on heat, not for long, at the back of the screen, then you can use a card or something thin to start getting it off easly.
I get that laptops are light and convenient BUT after a certain point it goes to far, we passed that a while ago
Bro's in love with framework laptop
well done ! …
then again, I’d expect nothing less from
THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT’S EVER LIVED
I still have liked every short made by The Greatest Technician Thats ever Lived. (My hinge has broken since last comment.)
Remove the hinges and change the whole lid. Always done that since the 90s working on iBooks and such.
It is definitely not for looks. It's just so that they can make it harder to repair, and so the consumer will be more likely to buy an entire new laptop once a single component breaks. Planned obsolescence: it started earlier than you think.
I really hate hyper thin laptops. They just feel like they’re gonna crumple like paper.
Back when I used to do repair we found that the labor costs for replacing just the panel were more than replacing just the whole top cover assembly in some cases for a customer. Easier and cheaper but also doesn't really make for great content lol. We actually started doing this because of apple's Mac shenanigans. Leave it to apple to lead the industry in making the right to repair a nightmare.
Hence proved
The greatest technician that ever lived😅
Dude has literally made me reconsider my career choice with his channel 😂 love this shit
You’re videos are satisfying
Tbh yeah I can deal with how complicated it is to work with. What I really dislike is how EXPENSIVE these new screens are. Almost makes it not worth it to repair anymore
Damn respect bro actually did it in under 10 minutes
The tape and such is because the screens are much thinner, and have no bezels. I think even my monitor for my PC is even like that as well
I have no idea how companies could make them easier to fix
I totally agree, now I have upgraded the display on a few laptops of mine over the years. My current Alienware M18 R1 is possibly the worst our of all the displays Ive ever changed out of the year, before it was a few screws, some snap tabs to get the bezel off, some more screws to get the panel out, replace, reassemble.
But now they have replaced screws with adhesive. Making it difficult to get the panel you wanna upgrade out without breaking it. (to either resell or hang onto for warranty purposes later, I changed the display from a 1200p 480hz display to a 1600p 165hz display with HDR.)
I FEEL this in my shop 😩
I have had 2 laptops in my life.
First one was a tank of a thing that was heavier than any consumer laptop I've ever seen.
Second one is fairly common lightweight construction you would expect in a modern gaming laptop.
I now wish that i could buy a laptop with a casing made of tungsten instead of plastic.
We need stronger people not lighter laptops.
If the UPS could get their head out of their ass my laptop could have the privilege to be gazed upon and opened up by "The greatest technician thats ever lived".
First they make the screws hard to get to them they remove the screws all together!
Not cool! Good video though.
Probably the most humble technician thats ever lived
Yeah I realized this and recently paid a local shop to replace my laptop screen.
Most modern laptops have "hot" powerline to lcd. Battery should always be disconnected before replacing lcd.
Likely, but in the 10 years of repairing pc's, and after replacing hundreds of screens, I've never had an issue.
Am i the only one one who is eager to hear him to say the epic words "The greatest technician that every live"??
I have broken screens trying to get the bezel off because the tape companies use to keep the bezel on is so strong for some reason, and God help you if the screen tape snaps when you're pulling it.
I hate that they do this as well. Especially when it is the cable that is bad. Instead of a $20-$30 cable you have to add a screen to it. Had an MSI that the bezel was glued to the bottom of the screen which wrecks it when replacing it.
The greatest technician that's ever lived
"extra piece of shit" i have one and i completly agree
Bro, the way I froze in place when he flipped over the laptop and I recognized the back of it - I don't remember the name of my laptop cause I don't use it often. It's heavy as sin and inconvenient to use in my current lifestyle. So the only thing that makes me think it isn't the same model as mine is the way the screen is to make it "lighter"
I know I should be taking better care of it with the school year coming up, so I'll probably check it soon.
Just like with people, too thin isnt healthy. It was also the excuse used to take away features.
What's even dummer is that laptops are becoming more brittle each year. I went into my local Micro Center a couple of months ago, and all but one had an all plastic chassis. What really makes it bad is that only two of the plastic chassis laptops didn't feel flimsy. It's so bad that it even hit all the gaming and business grade laptops!! I'm not going to spend money on a POC laptop that's going to break if a small breeze hits it.
Framework Laptop ftw
Nothing that the *Greatest Technician That's Ever Lived* can't repair
Laptops aren't phones, bags that are able to carry laptops are totally fine compensating for an extra millimeter of hardware. I don't understand the obsession with making laptops super thin and fragile
Give me a chunky
Same. I'd rather have a bulky but powerful laptop that's still portable enough over a thin ultrabook that's lightweight but that has barely enough cooling to cool a single high power CPU, let alone that and a high power GPU.
i strongly agree that laptops from the 2010s are much more easier to repair
That's why get oldie series Thinkpad. Not the new one with funky things attached, that's compromised tank
the greatest right to repair activist that's ever lived
For thin XPS Models I usually got the entire display/top cover fully assembled shipped back in the day.
All these electronics repair videos make me scared I might eventually need my laptop repaired. Last one had the screw of the frame at the base of the screen rust and snap. Screen still holds with a clamp and everything works plugged ( batterie died 5 years ago ).
This guy is *the most entertaining technician that's ever lived*
It also seems like the threshold for breaking the screen is lower. I ship at least 4 of these machines back to dell for screen replacement each month. Some field guy leaves a pen on the keyboard or slams the lid down on his laptop vehicle mount. Sigh.
Nsfw videos from best technician ever
If I make a computer company I would make it child’s play to replace or repair broken parts
If thin makes it harder to repair, just give me those 2000's chonky bois. More space for bigger battery too...and ports!
Screw covers have been a thing forever and they look fine imo.
Ugh we get the XPS’s in left and right at work, always an issue with the screen or battery it seems like. I’ll stick to my tank of a Latitude.
You can have her for 48 days as long as she returns with maintenance done.
Bring back the chonk XPS, dell!
My man sounds like one of the unhinged GTA V radio guys, just saying the most wild things😭🙏
had to replace the screen on my first laptop once. couldn't get the original resolution, so suddenly I had full HD. performance went DOWN because integrated graphics had to work more for the same size higher res screen.
I had a XPS as well and I loved it. Then the screen suddenly split into two different colors and the fan died 😢
I had an old acer aspire and put chrome os once started has great battery life and was fast and responsive. Without any upgrades. And I used it for school and would often get a pencil closed in the hinges and the screen did not break at all. Was not damaged.
yep small piece of plastic got shut in mine, obv a sign not to trust them.
