can you pin this comment so i can flex on my friends
u r cool
I wish I was as cool as you. :(
@@mireaaa u r cool 2!
This Is illegally funny
flex on your friends
This trainwreck was pretty entertaining.
thats what she said
@@Lord_Gwumbles Ouch
fosho
Entertainment 🤓
xD yes!!!
came for the steam deck, stayed for the free windows 7 key
came for Steam, stayed for Berrorart!
💀
well the windows 7 key works on windows 10/11 i think
If ya stayed for it, Didja use it?
Cuz I may use it.
Just use chew 7
0:22 The OLED and the faster processor both came true!
The Steam Deck OLED does not have a faster processor than the LCD.
@@caner7067 It does by a tiny bit
@@caner7067 OLED model has a 6nm APU compared to LCD's 7nm APU. It isn't a big difference, but it has positive affects on battery life, and I believe minor speed increase too. (memory isn't the best so I'd try to find some more information yourself if you are interested in it)
@@tankintime2118 the upgrade from 7nm to 6nm mainly only improves battery life, the chip itself is identical. The actual performance improvements come from the ram chips, which are faster in the SD OLED.
@@caner7067 Yeah, I didn't have the best memory on the specifics of it. The 6nm APU has very minimal performance impacts since it is able to run cooler from drawing less power, but it isn't anywhere near the RAM improvements in performance impact as far as I know. Thanks for mentioning the new RAM upgrades; I almost completely forgot about that lol.
It may be the sleep deprivation but this is easily one of the most entertaining videos I’ve ever seen
Same
The amount of times I tried to do things on old computers and I had the same struggle.
I felt your pain and happiness throughout the video, what a ride!
Great vid
Sameeee
Yeah, I have to get old tech just to install windows it’s insane.
Old laptops and OEM computers are a pain, desktops are comically easy to work with.
@@Hackerisitic kinda agree to you.
You've made Druaga1 proud. This Toshiba was fighting you tooth and nail. Also "hostname" is the name of the computer (in case you didn't know). All in all a great video, we've learned that you can't pummel an old dog like a Toshiba laptop to do your bidding. 😂
He's pretty much like Druaga1's.... weird cousin.
Oh man, I hope Duraga1 is doing well. Havent seen anything from him in a while.
i think your comment was the reason i was recommended this channel, i hope druaga is doing more of the funny blue psu smoke
Definitely get a Druaga1 vibe
sad we wont get any more SSD videos but its always fun to see ssds on different OSes
alternatively "trying to make a bad steam deck out of a 75% broken laptop but I have a mental breakdown"
Watching you struggle with the screwdriver and ending it with "dedotated wam" was just top tier RUclips. I suppose if all else fails it could be a Minecraft server with that wam
Interesting thing about this laptop: I’ve worked at a few Geek Squad locations, and I can safely say that it’s the most common model of Toshiba laptop I see. Toshiba Satellite, some series designator plus 55.
T-55, P-55, PS-55, it’s insane. They all shipped with Windows 7 and they all come in with destroyed Windows 10 installations that crash when you open settings, and sometimes even CMD.
But their drives don’t seem to fail very often, which is good because they’ll often have a decade and a half of stuff on them! 😂
Toshiba makes some pretty reliable hard drives such a shame their laptops were shit
Mine got bios bit rot after the Hard drive started to fail !
first it started to beep loudly whenever I try to enter the bios & freeze, It booted normally tho~ got all important stuff backed up then when I replaced the Hard disk ... BLACK SCREEN
Funny thing I never formatted the windows since I bought it in 2011
RIP Toshiba Satellite PSK04, you served me well (2011~2019)
Yeah, Windows really likes to break when you turn it into a different version. Reinstall always works better.
My dad was a sales rep for Toshiba from 2008 to 2018. He said Toshiba was very conservative with their drivers they didn't rush out their drivers.
@@_EyeOfTheTiger funny you say that, the Toshiba MQ04 hard drives are the worst hard drives I've ever seen, they always die after 1-2 years
"whats does i get as next...a oled screen?"
Aged like wine
0:25 you actually guessed that it was gonna be a oled screen😂😂
I'm pretty sure those 2nd gen i7's don't support Vulkan (on Linux) at all, so you wouldn't have much luck running games on these. You could of course try an egpu!
😂🥺😘💕😆
You need at least HD 3000(Ivy bridge) or higher, and even then, Ivy Bridge and Haswell have only experimental support.
Can you even run an eGPU with no thunderbolt and very old if any USB 3.0 support?
egpu needs bandwidth lol
@@jbritain Yes. You can use the mPCI-E slot intended for the wifi card.
1:28 dankpods moment
You were SO close, try finding a distro with legacy support and DO IT AGAIN!! Seriously bro, we believe in you!
Just installing Linux on such a machine isn't all that hard. I have a very similar Toshiba laptop, exact same outer shell and screen, except a bit older, with a 1st gen i7 and an nvidia GPU, not supported by nvidia's proprietary drivers. Still run Linux on it with no problem
This whole video is such a mood. I've been in this exact scenario with an even lower budget. And until recently a Sceptre brand monitor was my monitor for testing things.
This guy is almost as excited to get this running as I was when I built my first PC.
The amount of old shit computers I have done the exact same thing with blows my mind. You remind me so much of me when I used to take all my old family crap and make it work. My favorite is when I made a PSU work by using electric tape and twisting the lines together. Probably a fire hazard but screw it.
13:37 "WalgreenInfinitive" IM SORRY WALGREEN?
An interesting idea. Regardless of how it ends up. A Chromebook with old laptops sure been done before, but Steam big picture mode, maybe a Steam link connection from one device to another why not. That's the new hip marketable thing if you don't have a Steam Deck. XD
Kinda getting DankPods vibes
All we’re missing is a duck and a ipad
and the australian feeling
He definitely takes A LOT of inspiration
an OLED screen perhaps? 👀
Yeah, so as you may have realized, many laptop keyboards are clipped or screwed in. You must release them in various arcane ways. Then access the screws beneath them.
Next up: WiFi antennae. If you happened to have disassembled a DS or a satellite TV DVR (maybe because it was less than $10 and had a 1TB hard drive inside) you might be in possesion of little wifi antennae with the proper connector for this laptop. Putting them back in where the hinges used to be is totally acceptable. Also you have the option of taking the screen apart to get the original antennae and just winding up the extra wire, it works fine as well.
I am at the beginning, so I assume you will be quickly discovering that support for Intel processors on HoloISO is not very good.
Repairing laptops is a nightmare. You did very well
you should have declipped the keyboard, removed the ribbon connector, and then unscrew 2 screws. i have an old asus that i dissassemble like every week that looks like your toshiba...
as for the cmos battery, on mine i think it didn't have one but you could reset the bios by pressing for like 30 seconds on the power button with the battery removed (i think it empty the capacitors that replaces the cmos battery or something)
"Someone has been in here..."
Somewhere far away, a man and his snake are very happy.
8:54 lmao
As a Linux user this was funny to watch, but you should have gone for a normal Linux distro like EndeavourOS and installed the SteamOS GUI onto that :)
That's wild, this is damn near the same exact laptop I had around 2012
I felt all that pain. When you're doing something super obscure and prompt just spits in your eye every time you make some progress. Great video. Unfortunate for your project though but you've earned a sub.
Technology: "if you breathe wrong or let me install the wrong thing, I will die"
Also Technology: "I may be 20 years old, but I can be a router, NAS or remote PC if you need me"
God, the ragequit after nothing goes right is all too relatable. Sorry to see you experience that :(
If you do try again, Valve is beginning to add the SteamOS Big Picture UI to the standard version of Steam (granted it's only in the beta branch of Steam right now), so you can get something pretty similar to the Steam Deck experience by just installing a different distro and launching Steam with the correct boot parameters. I don't have a Steam Deck and haven't tried the beta yet, but based on past experiences I can't imagine there'd be many differences between the two versions.
Yeah I have been meaning to look into this. The whole ordeal should get easier with time.
God damn. Your power is destructive. I love it. Your magnific machinary is "in love with you". Oh and i forgot to mention, every tehnology guy seeing this is dying and crying. You got us in anxeity.
This was a very entertaining clusterfuck, great job.
1:24 Wasn't expecting a Dankpods reference.
9:15 poor spider had his house dismantled and then he got crushed before he could run
I love when everything goes wrong in tech videos... No, I'm serious, it's quite entertaining for some reason.
I also enjoy MJD "everything went wrong" videos.
I can relate
Oh god that looks like a toshiba satellite m3xx.
Those things loved to chew through their own monitor ribbons over and over again.
I'm actually SURPRISED that you have a working one
I'm more surprised that the screen is physically broken instead of the ribbon being torn 😅
At 8:24, it's hard to believe that the end goal here is to get a gaming computer that can play literally solitare.
Some Linux stuff: The hostname is the name for the computer. It's what other devices on your network will see its name as other than its IP address. It's also what shows up at your command line prompt, for example: "username@hostname ~ $".
I owned one of these.. with a 1st gen i3, 500GB HDD and 4GB of RAM :3 as an upgrade from a P3 era Celeron, it was blazin' fast. Thing was great.
videos like these are like extreme sports to me as someone who asked for a friend's help to homebrew my 3ds bc i was too scared of fucking it up
As I look to my main rig assembled in pieces on a motherboard box because my riser cable died recently (...8months ago) - I really relate to your method of madness.
If you have beta steam installed pressing the guide/home/ps button on your controller with the steam window active opens the deck ui
1 to get in any bios. Remove all drives
2 ones you open an old laptop you should clean the fan and apply a new thermal paste
3 try usb 2 if the bios didn't read the os in the usb 3 drive
4 open the screen hosing and remove the antennas
5 remove the battery befor removing the screen. Otherwise the bios still think it's plugged
6 check the help page of the os you want to install or ask someone for help.
Wowsers - thanx so much for enduring the entire carnevil of fail for this expedition into cyberhell...you are a super trooper!😁
6:17 going so fast for protection
because likely no software temperature monitoring is loaded yet
so if there is a sudden temp spike from a malfunction, it would just fry itself
Love the destiny ps4 at the end. I had a big destiny 1 sticket on my ps4 back in the day. With the first logo.
On Toshiba laptops F2 is for bios and F12 is for boot menu for gods sake
SteamOs is not made for old devices. Something like EndeavourOS or Linux mint XFCE would be much better for such devices, since they aren't UEFI exclusive and have way smaller background usage. And you can play on them nearly as good as on the steam deck. There should be next to none extra incompatibilities compared to steam os (Though 90% won't work on this device because of hardware).
Swap is allocated memory from your main drive (hard disk or ssd) to use as a slow type of ram when your ram is full. It's a way to not lose information during high demand tasks.
Loved this lmao, I wished every RUclipsr uploaded their projects that didn't go well
"This is what happens to bad laptops, they come to me!" - You must have a SHIT load of HP's! 😂
The mental breakdown at the end 😂
no more terminal no more text no more toshiba laptop
Why do I get the feeling that I wasted 21 mins of life to watch a failure but at the same time found it quite entertaining cause of the funny methods to resolve the issues
pro tip never ever expect usb wifi adapters to work on Linux, they never do.
The random 24 things on your tty was a keyboard key being stuck and was pressing it
You don't start plasma with plasmashell. The easiest way is to launch it will sddm with sudo systemctl enable --now sddm
"an oled screen perhaps?" Valve says yes
Toshiba P series was legit in the early 2010s. They just kept working hardware wise. Best non-Mac laptop out there!
maybe a late response, but the stuff on the screen at 16:00 means you have a key stuck... linux throws that at the terminal when you press buttons
I see a man's descent into madness. The same journey I've endeavored so many times. I look at his eyes, reflected on the blank screen, and I see myself.
I have literally no clue about anything you talk about, yet I was entertained throughout the entire video. Bravo
I didn't even know that one can do things like install steam deck OS on a regular notebook, so thanks
And that's why we always recommend either arch, debian or Linux mint for Linux noobs you can get any de or Linux experience later on but you have a working system at least on almost any machine
9:58 "PC gaming is easy" lmao XD I'm sure we all have felt this in our core before.
You are aware they made guides for almost every laptop tear down right? You don't have to murder the thing to take it apart lol.
As someone who used to have a Toshiba laptop, it gives me great satisfaction to see it destroyed 😂
The instructions were unclear and now my pee-pee is stuck in a ceiling fan.
2:10 nothing prepared me for when he pulled out my exact screwdriver I use for my pc screws wtf
An old, battered laptop with appalling integrated graphics, shoehorned into an entirely inappropriate form factor.
*Exactly* my sort of video. Awesome 👍
I have one of the models of the series that laptop is in, a C655, and HOLY CRAP WHO PUT IT THROUGH THE WRINGER!?
This is me on my old 32-bit laptop. Burn so many ISO just later found out that most of them no longer support 32-bit.
Found Zorin 15.3 but it won’t boot when burn into ISO. Switch to DD and freaking finally. The laptop was back alive again.
The longer you watched, the worse it got! Was fascinating to watch!
You had the funniest memes and references I subscribed after hearing the 19$ fortnite card one xD
This is almost exactly the type of stupidity I encounter every time I try doing something different or "less conventional" with linux distros on my laptop.
I felt that change of steam os implementation booting up flawlessly from the original steam os on a personal level. sometimes shit just dont work for some reason, one slight change later, it just works. And then I'm sitting there neither happy nor angry and just confused from the whole situation.
Not that I have much knowledge using linux, just that I like to go balls deep and then regret it later lmao
that thing at minute 16 was a key that was stuck pressed
As a tier 4 lead support engineer watching this man open this laptop was extremely painful.
New idea put your steam deck motherboard into the computer shell then drill holes into the chassis for all the hardware then use that
I know I am late to this but just found your videos. I love them hah better than half the youtubers I like to watch sometimes.
Those old toshiba's are beasts...physically.
This looks like the little brother of my Toshiba P775D (it had a 17-inch screen). Mine came with a AMD A6-3400M and a Blu-Ray Drive. It was so weird haha
just realized you had music from the pokémon white/black soundtrack :) my favorite game
you should make a video on rooting an enterprise locked Chromebook turning it into a personal chromebook
Does the fan not only work when the case I'd closed? I would assume that is the purpose of the design, lol
Easy and faster way next time would be tearing apart the DISPLAY not the base, but destruction is fun.
It was exceptional painful watching this it was like an infant hammering a square peg into a round hole and managing ti get it half way through by force and then saying “fuck it”
Rufus can flash any OS to boot on Legacy instead of UEFI. I got Windows 11 to run on a 2009 Dell Latitude Laptop
Lesson I learned: Don't let a gorilla near an electric screwdriver.
I put it on a NUC at once point,
It was amazing and the EmuDeck worked on it too,
then randomly one day stopped booting and would never install HoloISO again ,
It now runs Batocera
bit late but corsair keyboards like that have a bios mode. You have to hold a key combo when you plug it in and it will switch till you do it again. Also pretty sure the 2500-2700 series has efi but its like the first version lol not uefi. just plain ol efi.
8:00 Just put the old hdd and then under windows select advanced boot options
How I laughed watching your video. It literally cost you and you had the same problems as me disassembling my laptop. what a mess haha
That computer looks like the average linux machine lol
being in my 40s, I'm far too old to have understood your Jimmy Neutron reference. Insert Avengers quote, here:
Got father than i would have in that situation. I would have given up before that. I bet you could still install SOME kind of modern OS on that laptop though.
Not sure you'd want to. It looks kind of grungy and beaten up.
its because of the EFI part, I did try myself on an old bios thing and it was imposible to make it work
you need to do next for last scene: smashing all laptop peaces with a hammer? nice idea?
The ending had me dead “no…no I can’t” lol 😂
haha jokes on you, im from the future and they have released an OLED steam deck!
Number one rule with working with electronics never use powered screwdrivers
0:56 "You can probably figure out why"
You underestimate my stupidity.
