I really enjoyed watching watching your videos about the ThinkPad P50s. I recently purchased a smart card reader for my military card and I was wondering how to place it in. Even though you did not have a card reader, the video really helped me disassemble the laptop perfectly. Thank you so much.

Thank You so much! i replaced according to yours advice the cooler right , it works)) i like especially your tools;) Greetings!
Awesome, glad it helped.
Used this video to replace the fan and heatsink assembly on my laptop. It is getting very old and I need it to survive until I am finished with school, so this was really a life save. It was a little touch and go for a bit (new fan assembly was slightly bent from shipping, and I had to gently bend it back to get it to fit, and it initially didn't boot, but after re seating some of the ribbon cables, it came through.)

I paused at 19 minutes. Thank you so much for giving me a reason, now I'm on my way to buy a lot of popsicles😍
Lol no problem :)
Basic heat in concentrated confined areas is what turns copper color to grey as like your two fans and linked bar. Copper is a reactive material to consistent levels of heat so while it's perfectly natural to see two tones of color, it illustrates the heat it's subjected to.
Great Video!!! Thank you!

Excellent video - My P50 was starting to taxi to the nearest runway. After following your video and thoroughly cleaning, dusting, and repasting, the jets are now silent (and cool as cucumbers).
In case it helps someone, I sorta freaked out when after putting everything back together, I pressed the power button and the only response was a momentary spin of the GPU fan and a flash of the keyboard backlighting. No video...just a green power led staring blankly back at me. I partially took it apart and made sure everything was properly seated. I suspect the video cable was not fully pressed back into place...or maybe it was one of the memory sticks. Also, it is easy especially with the SSDs to think that things are seated when they may not be. You need to feel / hear a definitive click or snap with those SSDs. Without that, you will not boot properly.
Most likely a stick of RAM.

Thank you, I downloaded your video and ran it on another laptop during disassembly. I dismounted my P50 Xeon twice: the first time to find why I got this noise on the left side cooling fan. I noticed that the noise was coming when fan was rotating at higher speed. I tried to fix it by adding some oil. No way, I had to glue the left fan container together after I messed it up. I ordered a new fan on ebay and replaced the old fan last night.

@@jpnxuan thanks!
Man ! i have the same issue, and i'm planning for a disassembly ,, i have the left fan making noise ,, !
@@ghanouneddjar8590 good luck
I'd say the heatsink copper was fine, didn't look burned at all to me. Looks like it was ?painted? gray or the copper was plated with nickle or something and some of the plating had rubbed off. The copper on my P50 heatsink assembly is shiny. I'm replacing my fans since the right side is getting a bit noisy. You can save some money if you just get the fans and reuse the copper.
Hmm
Useful as think my gpu fan needs replacing, the small one.
Hopefully you'll be able to get it working.
@@ItsBinhRepaired ordered one off ali express, took about 6 weeks to arrive. Managed to take the panel off with the middle chassis, without having to detach it. Cleaned up the contacts and yes you can replace the fan, remove the three tiny screws, try not to tear the tape and reseat the earth wire. Back to total silence and idle temps below 40. Mine is a xeon quadro 😎
@@ironmantooltime nice!
The Grey discoloration could be a sign it's not pure copper but rather a cheap alloy .... hate to think this about such an expensive machine, try scratching it with sandpaper and see if it's a form of grime on the external as seeing the thermal paste come of clean on your finger indicates it's probably not burnt up, also the lowest temp on that fan assembly is actually the plate on the fans and its there also
Thank y for the good video.
In start up it show me a message: one fan error.
The right fan start spining for 3 times ( 3 cycles ) then stop.
Can y please tell me something about this.
Thank y
Likely have to replace the fan
I've been looking for a cheap, robust, used workstation to use for media consumption/light gaming, I was thinking about buying one of these p50's, but im now having second thoughts after seeing that complex disassembly, do you have any suggestions for such a machine that would be easy to service? (thermal pasting and cleaning fans)
Hmmm not too sure. There are so many different model computers. You can see the thumbnails of all the computers on my channel to get an idea of what the insides look like.
I'd say go for the P50. I've had mine for a few years, put a M.2 SSD in it and made that the C drive, it runs pretty good. I run Xplane 11 on it, you get a playable framerate if you turn the settings down a bit. Mine is due for new fans now, but I've had it apart before. I think most laptops require a full teardown to get to the fans, that's pretty common.
P50's are horrible to disassemble, but VERY solid machines.
t. P50 owner since 2018 and is also typing this on one
You'd know if that's true or not by watching my videos. Lol Lots have easy to remove fans.
06:20 It wouldve came out with the whole tray if the black screw holding the SSD wasn't removed, the one you later referenced at 06:33 which does, in fact, hold it it in place with the tray, it just needs to be slid straight back, without pulling up, before it will pull out and come out with the tray as expected
Thanks
@@ItsBinhRepaired no no, thank you for making this video and uploading! I was just mentioning it in case there was any confusion because oddly enough, when I opened up my P50 today after watching the first part of ur video, I discovered my p50 didn't even have an SSD drive inside and only had the NvME drive. But even so, the moment I saw the NVMe in your video was a Samsung I figured they had made some upgrades. Anyways, just earned to say thanks to you too and no worries, I'm sure you caught that at some point later on anyway. Take care!

The gray stuff on the heatpipes could be surface oxidization.
caused by excess heat
@@ItsBinhRepaired Yes, that is possible. I've seen something similar happen with other metals due to heat.
Yup
Thanks for doing this. Just repasted my CPU an GPU. Now, the nipple and the mouse buttons just below the space key is no longer working. Any idea what I might have done?
If you pulled the keyboard out, double check the two cables that connect to the motherboard.
@@ItsBinhRepaired That was the first thing I did. At this point, I'm wondering if the large ribbon cable is broken.
@@usefulknowledge6074 it's possible
@@ItsBinhRepaired In such an event, the only way to fix it is to get a new keyboard?
@@usefulknowledge6074 most likely
do you have links to the parts? like the track pad, battery etc?
Would have to search ebay and Amazon
Ok, my key question is,. can the frequent high temperatures be brought down to sensible levels? *Sensible levels =
Clean the fan and reapply thermal paste.
Can you help me sir? Ikd i missed which steps then the monitor cant connect.
Yeah, watch again and follow closely.
What is the size of thermal pads?
I'm looking to replace the ones on my Thinkpad p51, but I don't have the possibility to open it for a few weeks
I don't know that, sorry.
let me know when you find out because I need to replace too xD
Measure with a ruler lol
@@kondziu6668 cpu 1mm and a GPU 1.5
The laptop was in such poor condition when it arrived that it only had a piece of thermal pad on the cpu part, two 1mm stacked gpu it's bad idea, it is better to use 1.5mm

Hi I have this machine but it runs and everything but the screen is blank, it comes on shows the Lenovo logo and you can press the f keys, but gives a message saying “ system security- bottom cover tamper detected press ESC to continue but after pressing ESC it just stays blank
Not sure. Might be a bad hard drive.
@@ItsBinhRepaired let me try and change it and see
There's a little microswitch inside the bottom hatch that detects when it's been opened, that'll be whats triggering the message. You should be able to go into bios (F12 at the splash screen) and disable that security feature.
Not sure why I said hard drive. Lol must have been very sleep deprived when I responded.
Fan replacement video?
That's the only one I have of the p50, sorry.
Recently my Lenovo P50 Laptop suddenly won't turn on. It turns on for only 1second, with the green power button lighting up & the fan kicking in for 1 second, then it immediately shuts down. When I plug in the power supply, the green light on the back of the computer lights up when I have the battery installed. So it doesn't seem to be a power supply issue. I searched all over the web for solutions & tried doing power drains, unplugging/ plugging in the battery & power supply, running with just the power supply, running it with just the battery, & both battery & power supply. I did the CMOS battery resets, removing HD & ram then trying to powering it on, but I get the same result.
Have u ever dealt with anything like this with any Lenovo laptops you've worked on? Do u have any possible solutions? Please let me know. Thanks & have a nice day.
Might be a bad motherboard :(
Can i upgrade my pc's cpu processeure form i7~6 to i7~11 or i9~9
If I told you yes, I'm curious how you'd remove the CPU to put in a new one. Lol Technically anything is possible. Is it designed to be replaced? No.
@@ItsBinhRepaired yeah you got a point, thnx though
@@ItsBinhRepaired yeah you got a point, thnx though
@@ZANGETSU.4 haha I've seen people upgrade the storage on an iPhone, but it's not worth it other than to say you did. Haha
What is the port for the display on the motherboard end ? Is it 40 pins ?
I don't count pins. Not like I'm building connectors or something, so that info isn't necessary. The video shows how to open it. If you want to count pins, go for it. If you order parts for your laptop, the number of pins isn't important, just make sure you get the parts designed for your laptop.
@@ItsBinhRepaired I'm doing a screen upgrade on my P50 that's why, the display I'm trying to install is a 40 pins so I need to swap the stock cable too. Also, is it required to remove all the back screws + the hdd's + the ram in order to lift that plastic cover ? (39:34)
@@rnrbeast as far as I know, you can't upgrade the screen. It has to have the same specs.
@@rnrbeast try doing it without it. If you can't remove it, then I guess you'll know the answer. I wouldn't know unless I rewatch the video and see how everything is connected. Use your judgement.
@@ItsBinhRepaired i will try access that port, also for your information yes it's possible to upgrade the screen, as long as the port is compatible. In fact I currently have a 1080p@120Hz panel which is 30 pins embedded displayport, but I want 4K which is 40 pins
I have found one for 330€, 8 gigs, 250gb ssd and i7. Is it worth it. I will be using for 4 years in college
What generation i7 processor?
How's it doing a year after?
How many RAM have that model?
Did you watch the video? If you did and you still don't know, you might need to learn the numbers. These videos will help. ruclips.net/video/2AoxCkySv34/видео.html and this ruclips.net/video/3BNPqyJR4Is/видео.html
4 banks up to 64gb total
The tray for the SSD is wrong. There's a different part number for NVMe SSDs with thermal adesive (4XB0K59917). That tray should only be used in SATA M.2 not in NVMe M.2.
Is that why the computer came with that and the computer boots from it?
What makes you get to decide what the computer gets to use? The tray and SSD work. Why would you put a slower SATA one?
@@ItsBinhRepairedYou didn't understand me. There's a specific tray for SATA M.2 and a specific tray for NVMe M.2. That computer seems to have come with the SATA tray but with an NVMe. That leads me to suspect that it had originally a SATA SSD which was later replaced by an NVMe SSD without replacing the tray. The problem with this is that the trays are optimized for the specific type of SSD, in particular for their thermal characteristics. It's just a tray, it has no electric properties. But using the wrong tray is likely to cause thermal issues. It won't prevent it from working or booting, but it will increase the chances of incurring in performance losses due to thermal throtelling if the SATA tray is used with the NVMe SSD. So, when the original SATA SSD was replaced by an NVMe SSD, the tray should have been replaced as well.
@@joaoparedes_tp it'll be fine lol
If you need, i can sell you my P51 complete housing.
? I don't need to store parts lol I have too much junk in my house :(
probably the owner was using it to mine bitcoin
Lol nah
What was wrong with this machine? It's a long video.
Don't remember
Great video, very helpful -- but every time I saw your fingernails I wanted to puke! Also, I'm surprised you didn't have plastic spudgers on hand.
Glad the video helped. You might want to look into why you have that issue with fingernails. Seems like a type of phobia or something. Fingernails are much better pry tools because of the way they can be manipulated to apply force in different directions not really possible by pry tools.
I have plenty plastic spudgers, but only use them where they are actually better at getting the job done, which is less than 1% of the time.
Imagine someone telling you to throw away your hammers because the shape makes them puke and instead told you to use rocks because those aren't as gross to them. Yeah... no thanks. I'm going to keep using my nails. Lol
Just got one for $230 noticed it’s running hot👨🏾🦯
But it came with 32gb ram
And everything looks good fr but it was just burning my goddamn lap off💀
What is the cpu temp?
@@ItsBinhRepaired oh I’m sorry for the mad late response but I’m coming back to this video because I’m tryna disassemble if I spilled water on it and the speaker and keyboard are done. idk the cpu temps it’s just hot but imma replace the thermal paste when I disassemble do you know if I can do a motherboard swap to a m2000m?
I hate how RUclips doesn't notify me of replies. Were you able to figure it out?
