  • Hi everyone, thank you for 28:02 of your time. In this video I restore Acer Aspire 1640Z that was pretty destroyed and left in the past. But with some work the laptop is working and as well I have done some unusual mod.

    Hey Andrew,
    I'm a fan of yours and I've been enjoying your content since a long time now.
    I am a laptop guy just like you and you are doing a great work by making these videos. Not a lot of people here at RUclips make the content like yours.
    I am studying cybersecurity and in this field, the use of operating system "Linux" is used very often.
    So I wanted to suggest you to try using Linux in these old hardwares, as it can be better than older versions of windows and can perform modern tasks at a light form factor.
    Thanks for always making good content.
    Kudos.

    Really nice upgrade! Your videos have inspired me to look at my older laptops and upgrade them where required.
    Also, if you need a replacement hard drive for laptop with IDE connector, IDE hard drives are relatively low capacity and now starting to be quite expensive. You can get IDE to mSATA converter on eBay for about £10, then fit an mSATA SSD. I will probably do this whenever I need to fit a new disk into an old IDE connector.

    Aaahhhh, when vga ports was standard and laptop designs stays the same for newer models until trends changes. I got a similar acer from 2006 that has intel core duo cpu with 1 gb ram and 80gb of hdd with ati gpu... forgot what ati it was... but the laptop has overheating issues and I didn't know anything about laptops and computers back then and youtube was pretty much still in it's infancy in my country... Seeing such an old beast being resurrected here is pretty awesome :D

    If you see this, I wanted to ask you something : what would be your method for removing stuck screws on a laptop heatsink (without breaking them forever preferably) ?
    I tried the rubber band technique already but nothing works...
