Your videos got me brave enough to repair my old Alienware M17 R2 laptop. It wasn't my everyday for years now, and I figured that if I can repair actual commercial aircraft on the daily, it would be really sad if I couldn't replace a battery and top lid/screen on a 2019 dinosaur. Maybe someday I'll get up the courage to do some repasting.

The best part of this video was 10:30 minutes in. People have no clue the patience and time it takes working on some of this equipment. How easily it is to accidentally bust cable connector. I'm very good at what I do but still get anxiety after 42 years doing repairs on equipment like this. Right off the bat you know this are time consuming and need to charge correctly.

Working on these types of machines requires a level of patience capable of waiting out the heat death of the universe. Having the beast boot up after the arduous work... 1000% pure dopamine! Hope your muscles and Lupe's hands recover soon!

As a fellow A17 R5 user who worked on the laptop myself, can say that you get used to hustle with time. Had to basically ditch it because paying 100$ keyboard and 150$ chinese battery clone were a little too much(and because I bought a PC). And I can't imagine how hard it is to sustain a buisness like this

I love the long video content, It doesn't feel very heavy and it's entertaining, and what you say is true, the right to repair is something that must be fought for, consequences such as high labor costs or the closure of repair shops should not be normalized. I hope to see more videos like this in the channel, i loved it!

The greatest technician that’s ever lived

I've torn apart my old 15 r3 around 10 times already to repaste, change wifi card, change the battery, cmos and replaced the 60hz screen to a 120hz one. Never knew it was a horror to other technicians as well. The amount of screws is just insane.

3:56 bros getting a bit too naughty

This video is underrated.. Amazing.. I own one of these are it is still my daily driver.. And I had to do the same fan repair on it.. It was a nightmare. I ended making a similar mistake with the WiFi attenae.. But I destroyed the cables themselves and not the card.. So it was a simpler replacement.. But I did end up going to a repair shop and getting it done.. Overall, thank god newer laptops aren't as bad these days with these kinds of repairs, but there needs to be more right to repair in serious.. Genuine parts needs to be accessible the same way companies commit to phone updates on software.. It should be anywhere from 5 to 10 years of guarantee parts.. Otherwise it's jus more e-waste and head hurting hunting for after market crappy parts, u never know if they are gonna work.. So much time and money lost.. Keep up the great work and loved that "4th" wall break u did there.

Breaking the 4th wall... That's deadpool disguised as the greatest technician that has ever lived.

My 14 year old Alienware M17x R1 sheds a tear for such beautiful work

14:33 iirc. Windows only loads some drivers, depending on the hardware configuration it was installed/last booted on. Usually fine, but when the storage driver drastically changes (SATA vs. NVMe vs. VirtIO for example) it often causes problems. It's a common issue in VMs where even if the necessary drivers are installed switching out the virtual controller type can cause these sorts of problems.

To add to this, Dells (at least Latitudes) like to switch from AHCI to RAID mode randomly, without anybody asking. Especially when you switch the drives.

Love the videos. Working in a repair shop myself, it's nice to see and hear the insights that you give on repairs like this. Alienware's always make everyone in our shop scared because of the absolute mess they can be depending on what's wrong, so it's nice to see someone else feeling that same pain. The long form videos too are a nice addition to the brain rot that normally gets posted (meant that respectfully of course, smooth brain likes rot)

This video reminded me of my old laptop, it took 10 minutes to open Chrome but it started quickly

Once I replaced the battery off an Alienware 17 R5. Other than time consumption it was much easier than expected because of the screw holes are marked properly and didn't end up with extra screws

Man I love these long format videos! Good job!

I appreciate the 4th-wall-break there. I've been rocking an AW 17 R4 since ~2016 and it's a solid machine (if you can forgive the price tag). I've disassembled pretty much every part of it completely (except for the screen) and as much as it's a PITA to get to some of the deeper parts, it's been a joy to work on and a survived daily 16+ hour uptimes and daily trips to school/work the past 8 years. I can see how someone that's just tearing into one can break things but compared to the likes of my old HP Pavilion dv7 (where the screen screw-mounts break off the case any time you try to service it to remove dust from it's pathetic fan), it's not hard to avoid breaking cables if you have 5 extra seconds to give it a lighter touch, a pair of functioning eyes, and a braincell left un-rotten (obviously no challenge for THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT'S EVER LIVED). Parts are definitely ass to get a hold of though, and my current (second replacement) battery shows clear signs of multiple sticker layers applied to hide its real origin and capacity. Time will tell how long my ebay fan replacements will last. R2R WHEN.

I liked you mentioning the right to repair issue with these types of machines we have.

Had an old m15x from 2011. Was my only computer for half a decade. Even lugged it to school for research and stuff and gave me back pain for years. Survived multiple drops. Was a total workhorse. Would still be working now if I hadn't tried to do some maintenance and lost the threading on one of the tension screws on the heatsink. That and the dead battery and fraying AC cable. Replacement parts were hard to come by where I'm from.

I appreciate the service you do. Working on laptops is such a pain, I tore the ribbon cable on my old macbook. I planned on using it "headless" anyways (old retina display), but didn't plan on needing a separate keyboard.

the greatest mailman that ever lived.

the perfect mounting pressure heatsink would be the 17R4/17R5 "0FRPY8" heatsink and would gradually help the TIM to get the maximum pressure for it to work the best and will last longer. Because it was common to have airgaps between the silicone die and the heatsink itself with the 17R4 heatsinks when it was first released 3rd qtr 2016.

Hey man ,my pc just crashed and it starts turning on and off so i remember that you the greatest technician thats ever lived did the ram thing and it works. Thank you the grates technician thats ever lived😂

When buying a new laptop, I had to pick between Alienware M18R1 (the new one), Lenovo Legion 7, Razer 18, some Asus and some HP laptop. Did not take HP because the up/down arrow buttons are half-size, and at work it always was a big problem if they started bugging out. Asus had a reputatiin of weak build that tends to break. Lenovo and Razer had a power button right above backspace key. I know that AW is hard to repair, but mine does it's job well, so hopefully I'll still work on it in several years. And on a good day it boots up faster than I can take my phone and unlock it.

the ad transition was on point lol

ah this laptop. What a coinncidence, one ended up in my possession due to a daughterboard literally exploding and since I'm not an expert in soldering it's being taken apart. Good work on this one and thank you for being a good technician!

Getting that back vent cover was the worst part of disassembling them and honestly the older one were worse. You don't kneed to write down screw sizes for Dell stuff cause they mark almost all of them.

The greatest technician that ever lived got an AD? I'm watching it

I fixed r13 or r15 a few years ago I think just needed a charger port replaced as it was a first time for me to teardown an alienware laptop. So I managed to rebuild it without breaking anything so one happy customer since. I have done this in a couple of hours not days
