  • Hi everyone, thank you for 28:49 of your time. In this video I restored, upgraded and Mod the ASUS Republic Of Gamers G73SW. This laptop were for parts only, but fortunately some major parts where still functional. The GPU I got it from Aliexpress, it cost me about 38 euros.
    Btw the motherboard is cheap also, available on Aliexpress for about $30-$40 ( in case if you need ). The motherboard is available with 2D and 3D connector, the motherboard in this video is with 2D. The 3D connector is placed above the 2D. No other difference.
    This model is predicted to be used with 16GB of RAM but I place 32 coz to see the performances.
    Games in this video: Battlefield 3 Premium, Crysis 2 and GTA 5

      If the screen is glossy you can put liquid in it as long as it doesn't go inside trough the bezels... only the matte layers get ruined by liquid, but I actually used liquid to remove the crap matte layer of my laptop and the screen looks miles better in terms of visual quality.

    A little bit of a tip Andrew, when it comes to the fans and hinges, avoid brushing towards the moving parts as they are lubricated and if you get dust in there it could affect some of the movement. Something I learned when working on a few repairs. Also, IPA can also be used on the board if there's any liquid damage, it can help really easy some times, even just for cleaning dirt. Just wanna make sure to tell in case but if you do, don't get IPA in the fans or hinges as it ruins the lubrication. Anyways nice video as always, showing people that this is really fun and easy. :)

      Same. I had G750JZ and it cost me almost same price in repairs what I had payed for it (1500€). I broke keyboard ribbon, my power socket died and had to replace it, replaced the hdd/ssd ribbons, replaced optical drive for hdd bay, replaced the power plug again, replaced the motherboard, replaced the gpu, replaced whole cooling copper section, replaced the fans, still have 2 at home haha, replace whole keyboard chassy (since the ribbon cable ripped I had no choice but to buy whole chassy as it was a single unit), replaced the battery.
      It served me well and gave me many insights in how laptops are build and work. It was also one of the last laptops to actually have dedicated GPUs like 880m 980m that were made for laptops and not down binned desktop variants like we have today max q variants and so on.
