Just a random share before I watch the video. I bought an Alienware M17xR3 in 2012 and it was one of the worst laptops I've ever owned having an LCD problem within months and, naturally, it wasn't cheap to buy. I've tried to fix it recently so I'm interested in this LVDS fix.
@@stevedevice the quality seemed to be hit and miss with lots of people swearing by their Alienware laptop. Did you ever get the GPU issue fixed? It was great that you can swap out the GPU though even to buy a replacement today runs $200-300 which is good PCIe GPU money.
My friend bought an Alienware around 2012 and is still using it to this day. It's gotten a new drive (HDD -> SSD) and battery, but otherwise has worked really well
I've been watching your videos for over 2 weeks now (Work as IT Admin) and I love your professional when dealing with awkard customers, we can all learn from you, thank you for your videos
I imagine some devices take longer to disassemble and reassemble, than it takes you Alex to do the repair. All that work taking it apart, in some cases finding it a 'no fix', is exactly why an 'Attempt Fee' is charged and justified.
What maintenance do you do for the solder tips. Do you clean after every job, every few jobs, or end of the day for tinning, etc. could be a quick how to video.
@@peterlarkin762 I do, I was just thinking there are a lot of new people that do not know how to keep the tips clean and tinned and it would be a good video to put out there. I am sure there are already other videos out there but a lot of people watch the channel.
Seeing the soldering in real time was interesting. It usually looks like you can solder connections like that in a few seconds. Now we see the painstaking precision required to do "better than factory" soldering without a lot of rework removing solder bridges between pins. Love the joke about what's on your finger - trees, giraffes🦒😅
No. UV stuff is used in very fine amounts and only really good for securing pads and traces. Also for solder masking to replace existing solder mask defects. It is not strong but strong enough for pads.
The pins soldering is fine, but, without mounting the connector, anyone in the future will rip it off the board when disconnecting the cable. Even hot glue on the edges would at least stabilize it a little.
6:03 - I've made the mistake of looking at my fingers under the microscope before too and I couldn't believe it - mine were full of dust, fibres, capacitors, diodes, resistors, wires and even a few old CPUs 😂
Mr Alex i wild like ask you something eles! What is the reason your videoes are so clear? And it is so bright and best color? And at nicc R B G pictures Does it depend on your loop or camera or what?!
your videos are great, but you should charge that customer extra because of the filthy laptop. he could have cleaned it before handing it over... or is the dirt coming from the repair? cheers from austria!
The beeping noise is a (ridiculously loud) diagnostics self test and it happenes when it finishes with an error, any error will beep the same way, but the error results are visible on the screen (not useful when you have a screen issue xP)
Dell/Alienware still use beep codes during POST. Just search for Dell Alienware beep codes and you will find an explanation. According to what I found, 8 beeps mean LCD issue.
My takeaway from this video (other than don't buy an Alienware) is if you need to push 4 people holding hands in a circle, then use a flamethrower... 😉 Love the videos, Alex...
it's also happening on my dell inspiron 14 3437 when my lcd broke adter 10 years of usage damn it beeps like crazy 8 times i think until the boot it finish i just removed the speaker while booting i dont know why dell did that my laptop speaker is very loud
Tha laptop is a little dirty :) My father told me to clean CRTs inside out(we discharged the flyback and the capacitors before reaching inside) with a vacuum cleaner before giving it to the service personnel next to us so they don't have to dig out all that dust, soot, and everything else inside.
*Sure wish I had had someone do that for me. Then their life would have been blackened, Miller-Stephenson foam cleaner-soaked KayDry-EXLs and not mine. Cheers!*
My Alienware 17 R2 restarts after exact 30 minutes. and the windows startup time is also longer then expected. i have installed NVME and still windows loading is very slow. after loading windows laptop restart after 30 minutes automatically. i have disabled the 30 minutes option in the windows but still same issue. I am from Pakistan and following you since 2021. Please help me. i am a tech guy I can repair some thing if needed.

*Not one of Dell's Enterprise-class machines yet owner said he uses it for business. Wonder how much of that "Business" is really just playing around.*
The new shop is so cool. It must be such a relief to no longer have piles of boxes in the way!
No hello, intro, just straight to business. 😅 Love it. ❤

I got a top of the line Alienware laptop in 2011. Was complete trash. Two GPUs.. what a great idea that was....

No matter how fancy your gear is, always clean your tip and leave some solder on it when not in use.

Amazing work, great. And this little nice and quick shop tour was also awesome. Greets
I loved when you were talking about your finger
When do you sleep? Thanks for taking the time to put together your videos!
Mr Alex i think no body can find somone like you i mean a single repair man and not in a big company who rapaired so many laptap that you did!!!
love to see a intro of your videos, with northridge fix logo
great work and precision .....can u tell us how laptop heat pipe are solder ... ? what typ of solder does it require for heat pipe soldering ...
Im just glad to see an alienware get fixed to be honest
Good morning all ❤
thank you big boss

Could you use the UV stuff to hold it in place?
No. UV stuff is used in very fine amounts and only really good for securing pads and traces. Also for solder masking to replace existing solder mask defects.
It is not strong but strong enough for pads.
You forgot to thank big boss and to mention that he is a boss of all bosses =)
4:21 above the D, looked like some leftover lowmelt. Hope that doesn’t end up somewhere it’s not supposed too
BETTER THAN FACTORY!™ ❤
You re just mentor❤️ good work
AMAZING WORK AGAIN looks very good soldered and as good as new!!! Love your passion and your humor in your video's.

That laptop is huge!
Thank you for all your hard work.
Cheers m8.
AND thank you Big Boss!
we need studio tour
Mr Alex i wild like ask you something eles!
What is the reason your videoes are so clear?
And it is so bright and best color?
And at nicc R B G pictures
Does it depend on your loop or camera or what?!
I some how think this guy is a teacher, he talks with authority.
You could of recreated anchor pads using desoldering braid.
And what was he supposed to anchor the braid to?
@@lookitskazzy Do I really need too explain work it out for your self 🤪🤣
If you can't be your best hype man, then no one can.
Great video man!
That’s a great iron I use it daily!
Serious donor stock, impressive.
You are awsome ! 👍
your videos are great, but you should charge that customer extra because of the filthy laptop. he could have cleaned it before handing it over... or is the dirt coming from the repair? cheers from austria!
i love watching that copper eat the solder

Anybody that buys a "gaming laptop" has nobody to blame for anything.
*Ha, ha! I would've said "Hey! You maggots, knock off the grabass and form a line!". Cheers!
The Customer needs to clean & wipe using a microfiber cloth on his business laptop. 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Absolutely gross!!

Plastic check for weird dark spots or light spots in plastic thermal silicon those parts…
better than factory!
to big boss (بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم) I heard it . May God bless you
The connector pads say "Hi"
Tha laptop is a little dirty :)

Et voilà !
Came in for damaged lvds connector and tutu tut sound effect
A1A Nitro Approves
Sigh... if that was sent to me for repair i would be asking for medical insurance first, disgusting condition
Probably never cleaned. Lots of dust and dirt from keyboard too. We cannot expect normal users to dissemble and clean it themselves
@@bhoot1702 I wish laptop makers would tell users they need to be cleaned. Usually it's internal dirt, this one is filthy everywhere though.
Where on Earth did you guys get so many donor board material? :O
🙏👏👏👏🙏
when BOSS says "b'esm allah" we all know that the laptop will work! kinda like the magic word!
*Reverent magic.*
🥰🥰🥰💝💫💫💝🥰🥰🥰
Heard the "bismillah" while pressing button. Loved it. MasaAllah. Good work.
It's never a right time to clean the bench xP
Now we know what laptop not to buy, it should be outlawed to make products deliberately hard to fix like this.
That laptop needs a good jet wash !

First!
For those curious, this is a Dell Alienware M17 gaming laptop, very likely a AMD Ryzen 7 6800H variant.
*Not one of Dell's Enterprise-class machines yet owner said he uses it for business. Wonder how much of that "Business" is really just playing around.*
Looks like a 17 R4/R5 to me.
when has AMD used a blue logo
