    Thank you. This is the second time i had to open my laptop to the motherboard and back. Your tear down guide was excellent and lifesaving reference for success. Thanks again 👍

    Thank you. I'm still loyal to this thing. It's been with me for 9 years or so even though I poured red wine over it lol
    May "live" on forever with a little upgrade.

    Hi, great video thanks. Could the fan be replaced without removing the motherboard? Just the fan - not the heat sinks.

      you need to remove the motherboard but not the heat sink

    Hey, nice video! I have a Thinkpad e560! It has a below average screen resolution of 1366x768, I was looking to upgrade my screen to a full 1920x1080. im basically buying a screen replacement for a e560 model that is FHD, and replacing it with the screen on my 1366xx768 model. Both have 30 pin connectors, do you think it could work out? I I noticed from the video that your e555 is pretty much identical to my e560. Your thoughts would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

    • @OpenMeUpTec
      @OpenMeUpTec  8 лет назад

      if it fits in and the connector fits then it will work.

    • @ThePCgamewalkthoughs

      That's not a good idea because your laptop was designed to work decently on the resolution the screen came with.

    HELP!!! 14 Min in you say you forgot a cable...which one???
    I have the same problem. The motherboard wont come off because of one cable but I dont know how to remove it. It says AATE1_DC-IN Signal_Cable on it and comes from the power supply and is attached to the motherboard. Please could you tell me how to remove it? Thank you!

      like any other cable you have to plug on it to remove it. what is it that you that you need. watch the video again and tell me which part of the video that you have having issues with as i can see my video point out where the cable i miss is

    • @davide.5900
      @davide.5900 8 лет назад

      Hey! cheers for the answer! My problem is that I couldnt detach the cable because it was taped to the connector and even after peeling that off a bit it didnt come off. I didnt wanted to use too much force because I was scared to break something.
      Unfortunately it is hard to describe the connector. I think you point on it at minute 14. It was metal and there was kind of a "tape" coming out of two slits on the top of the connector . It had two ends which where stuck together so the formed kind of a half circle over the connector....I hope you know what I mean..haha..:) Unfortunately this cable prevented me to remove the motherboard. Actually I wanted to clean the fan and put new thermal paste because my laptop gets hot.
      Didnt want to criticise your video. Its great and helped a lot! Thank you!

    • @stemietree
      @stemietree 8 лет назад

      I think it's called DC -IN signal cable. It's wrapped in grey tape and taped with black on the ends. It's an unusual cable that Ive never seen before

      @@christianhernandez5037 no it will work fine. now you will have a GPU thats all. so on the low end model they dont add the GPU so they can save money therefore sell it for a low price. for your old motherboard if you have the equipment to soldered you can just add the GPU and it will work.
