Repairing new laptops is annoying, the last laptops that I enjoyed repairing probably were the old ThinkPads 420 for example, but thank you for your content, and because of you I bought my first server
One of the worst laptop designs what I saw before!! Nightmare.. 😂 Excellent video as always and great job! 👍 For replacing keyboard, I just re do every fixing point one by one.. I just putting soldering iron with small point tip exactly in middle and lift keyboard.. For adding it back, I change tip to flat. 😉
It seems you have great skills to repair computers! I repaired power terminal solder cracking of Asus laptop and touch panel was broken 😀 Since then USB mouse is always connected to the laptop 😁😁
I too have just fixet and old laptop.. What I did was ordre a German one, and that more the letteres over. Unlike english, it's the same key set up, but they uses æøå for something else. So I just moved the key around from the old keyboard to the new one keyboard-board (a Dell Latitude E6500)
Well done Morten, you won the battle and gained tiny bits of plastic lol . And one escaped screw that Asus will never need :-D. I really don't like flat keys, My old Acer has beveled key caps, i like the older style. When you put that small ribbon cable in the connector, i could swear your mum was talking. 20:18
wow very beautiful job interesting movie working on a microcomputer service requires a lot of patience and intellectual skills it turned out very nice sir very good job sometimes now I have to do with microcomputers yes sometimes it is a very good movie and interesting👍
I did a HP laptop recently and the keyboard is melted into place on that too. Major pain in the a**. Basically they're saying that if your keyboard breaks you need a new laptop.
3:20 I know what you mean when I worked in Belguim had there keyboard then moved to Sweden for work "same company" and yep another keyboard.. Guess the company ?
It would've been such a good time to upgrade to an SSD, with all that work already 😉 Yeah, probably a decent laptop when it was new, which likely was not recently. I generally like to get all screws started before a 2nd round of tightening them.....
Asus and Acer laptops are a total pain in the rear to repair. Hours of work to dig out the defective components and hours to put them back together. I fear there won't be much of an advantage with Lenovo Ideapads, though. They are the same cheapo design. ThinkPads are the ones that make the difference. HP and Dell seem to be pretty okay in the repairabillity aspect. But I am through with buying lappies with small defects, it just costs too much time and the repairs usually don't last long. Laptops are throwaway-designs. I definitely prefer working on stationary PCs. Much more reliable performance for a much lower price.
Ultrabooks are not made for opening. I have an x1 carbon 2 gen with i7 4550u, i use it as a 24/7 gaming server for not having 200€ more on bills. It has a defective screen and you don't find screens anywhere! they just are not there! also cmos battery is gone, but its soldered! the CMOS BATTERY IS SOLDERED! i cannot change that... i have a defective cmos and i cannot do anything for it...
It’s nice of you to help people Morten. 👍
Thank You :-)
Had I known,, how much of a pain this was,, I might have been less helpful :-)

Thank You,, hope it was a good server :-)
@@MyPlayHouse dl380 g7 still use it to this day to help my sister with rendering (she does CGI work and it's more powerful than her laptop)

Thanks for the tips! I did not think of using the soldering iron.
I normally use carpet tape cut into thin strips to hold down cables in laptops, does job
Hi cyberjack-CJ
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)

Maybe I could have gotten a US one and done the same,, but the one in the laptop, little plastic was broken.
@@MyPlayHouse no, you can't do that (probely) . The key sockets / keystone are Arrange different because of the æøå

There was no screws left over, at the end :-)
No my mom was not here... must have been your wild imagination. :-)

There are many differences in the layout,, _:;>

I know,, SSD,, but guess who would have to reinstall..

I forsure did this to help a friend,, is took way to long.
Large laptops used to be easier.
That was more like replacing a phone screen taking everything out.
Hi Graham Leiper
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
having spent the time and the $$ to replace this keyboard, i'd have considered moving that to an SSD
I know who uses this,, and I think the disk is fine...

Replacement parts can be hard to find..
why be born in a country where keyboards are expensive ;)
I did not have much say, in the matter :-/
