Thank you so much for this guide! It really gave me the confidence to try this. And I'm glad i did!
Two comments:
1. You probably want > 70% iso alcohol. It took me quite some time to clean off the thermal paste as the paste on my CPU and cooler was really caked on and dry from the factory.
2. The battery cable was a PITA to get in and out...
Otherwise a smooth operation.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Really awesome video. I wish other videos on youtube were as good as yours. 🙏My Dell 5550 is working again without any new parts. May awesomeness returns to you and your family in abundant.
