CLEANING a 15 years OLD computer with power supply RESTORATION (acer Aspire T180-Q97Z)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- We continue in this episode the cleaning of the computers I found in a basement! I tried for the second time to repaint a part. So we can see here the result of the PSU restoration I am pretty proud of.
This PC was found without any RAM and Hard Drive, so I added them and installed Ubuntu 18.04 on it.
Hope you will like it!
Have fun! ❤️

Welcome on board ❤️❤️
Great video! I have an old one like this and my grandson is keen on learning! Thank you for posting it!
I do this as part of my day to day work, and it gets me stressed trying to clean machines and get to deadlines with other work... But watching someone else do it is so cathartic. Especially after a busy day.
Thank you Derrin Olivier! Happy to know you liked it 🥰 wish you a great weekend ! ✌🏻
Same, I am the one in charge to clean and fix the computers in my office. but I rarely do this kind of deep cleaning, because the computer needs to be back asap. It's so fun to see them clean like new :D
Love deep cleaning videos, so satisfying
Thanks for your comment TheBlueBunnyKen! Nice to know you like it. I do as well 😊
I know I like them to
And I don't just like them I love them
Thank you very much Zack Duff for your comment. We are in the same boat 🥰❤️
Ur very welcome
This is always great content distracting me from cleaning my own projects 😜
Don't check the channel if you still have work today, the next episode is coming the next hours 😂
Thanks for your comment ❤️❤️
You hand cleaned the little screws on the CPU cooler? Dude! You are so hard core! Very satisfying. And I like that you just have the sounds of you doing the work - no music needed. Thank you!
Thanks to you!! It's so nice to know my videos are satisfying to watch 🥰
Watched my first video today and realised how I already improved my content. Can't wait to watch again that one in 3 months and see the difference. Thanks to be here with me during this time guys ❤️
I remember having a friend that owned that exact model pc, they were easy to clean but the dust was no joke. Great job man!
Thank you very much SennTheMan ❤️❤️
Frontpanel says AMD 64, but inside it is Pentium 4 system.
I was thinking when will the video and notification sound came and I commented immediately, I'll take your heart
You have it HAYALET! ❤️❤️ as usual
10/10 as always. Good job bro!! 👏
Thank you very much PCmaniaco ❤️❤️❤️
Sometimes your computer deserves a little bit of love too I have the same one for 10 years got it from my uncle still using it today window xp as well
ahah! that's sweet to read! Thanks for your comment @hattag3399 ❤️
You know why there was an Asus board in this thing? I bet the original Acer board died XD. Like 9/10 Acers I have owned have had motherboard failures. This was really fun to watch, I have not seen a Pentium 4 machine in AWHILE! Keep it up, as usual can't wait to see more!
Yeah same on my side about Acer PCs! Was pretty fun to work on this Pentium 4. As you maybe noticed, there was not even thermal past on the CPU. Was pretty surprised to see it turn on properly 😅
Thanks for you comment and your nice words Volvo240! Every time a pleasure to see you in the comment section ❤️❤️
That's a beautiful case, for sure. I'd love to slap a modern build into that thing.
That would be pretty cool to see 😉
Thanks fo your comment @CRACKBONE7317 I hope that you enjoyed watching this video ❤️
I have the same Acer Aspire PC design (T180-UA350B) that I bought from Circuit City back in 2007.
I've been wanting to clean out the insides and upgrade it into a Sleeper PC and this video has gotten me motivated for it.
oh great! Is it already done? should be nice to have before/after pics! 🤩
Thanks for your comment Mike, hope you enjoyed the video ❤️
This is my old computer. As a kid I wrote so many stories and played so many games on it. Now ten years later I just can't throw it away. Idk why. I'm too emotionally attached.
i noticed that the front panel of that pc had a amd cpu sticker on it but it had an intel board in it... i think the previous owner of that pc must of swapped the motherboard of the pc at some point... just thought i would point thais out... but fantastic restoration that old acer pc looks new! amazing job!
Hi dylan lindsay !
Yeah you are right, and the 2nd person who are telling me that about the sticker. That is not so satisfying 😅, I would had to remove it. It's an acer, so there is 99% of chance the acer motherboard died.
Thanks a lot for your comment and your words ❤️❤️
Il n'y a rien de plus satisfaisant qu'un PC bien réparé 🤩
Merci à toi Superjnik! content que ça t'ai plu ❤️
Strange, heatsink fans usually blow IN to make the most of forced turbulence
I had to rewind to see that it was that way round originally
Hi Matthew, just checked it and you are right. the heatsink fan is not oriented the right way. It was like that when I opened the computer so I didn't even notice it. I will change this!
Thanks for the comment! ✌️
At 8:20 .....that coolingpaste they put on from the factory is so hard to get off sometimes.....it is almost like dryed up hard chewing-gum. Have cleaned and upgraded many computers and that is always difficult to get rid of. Good restoration-videos.
Yeah, that's so hard to remove this %*¨$&£ 😂 But pretty satisfying to replace it with clean thermal paste finally.
Thanks for your comments Magnus Nilsson ❤️
Another great job. I shall have trouble sleeping tonight though: a case with an AMD badge on it, with a Pentium 4 system inside it.. :/ It looks as if the damp got to that PSU.
Hey MarkTheMorose!! I'm so sorry for the badge, it's definitely not satisfying to watch 😂😂😂 I was too much focused on the PSU repainting 😇
Thanks a lot for your comment. Every time good to see you here ❤️
ACER dust... yeah... what can you do... of corse CLEAN IT 😁👍
Have full of good health positivity, smiles, laughs, ... new year and each and every single other day 😎.
Thank you very much @ACOnetwork ! I wish you all the best for this new year ❤️
@@french.satisfactory thank you 😁👍 and to you too 😎
Great videos man seeing these old full of dust computers get restored gives me some sorta chills keep it up ma guy
Thanks you very much Rohaan420! Nice to know you like it ❤️
@@french.satisfactory no problem ma guy
Thank you brother. I'm starting the same project with my pc tomorrow morning.
Thanks nice to read! Don't hesitate to take some before/after pics, I would love to see that ❤️
Very detailed. Satisfying to watch.. 👍
Thank you Farley Janes 😊
Oh my, the heatsink looks awesome! The fins are so think and close to each other. It had to cool really good. Comparing to aluminum heatsinks nowadays.....
Oh, wait, why does the case says AMD 64 when there's an Intel CPU inside? Was it like that before?
Hi Miron! Was pretty nice to work on this heatsink✌🏻
Thanks a lot for your comment ❤️❤️
wow best youtuber great job no one cleans computers as good as you
Thank you so much Stać z tyłu kampić! Really appreciate every single of your words ❤️❤️
amazing effort, amazing results, just one request, next time please don't blow off the dust, can you vacuum that dust too?
Thank you very much for your comment @glamour125 ! In fact, blowing is better than vacuum it. I would say it is more efficient.
Glad to know you enjoyed this video ❤️❤️
Thanks, really helpful tutorial !!!
Yey, thank you very much @cretabebe ! Glad to know you enjoyed ❤️
Very nice.🤩
Is that CPU fan taking air up away from the heatsink and not down towards it or is that a reverse fan?
Hi @RichNorthrop!
Well, it will be hard to answer. I watched again this video to find any arrow on the fan, but wasn't able to find one. Can't find any info on internet for this fan also. So... that will stay a mystery 😅
In fact, I published this video almost 1 year ago, can't remember anything 😅
But I hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks for your comment ❤️
@@french.satisfactory I think based on the blade orientation it is blowing up away from the CPU which is unusual, but it is old.
yeah I guess also.@@RGR_Gaming10X
Looks like someone installed it the wrong way previously. You never install a CPU fan that is taking hot air from instead of blowing cold it into the radiator.
Great job.
Thank you very much John ❤️
I like finding windows O.S. discs in optical drives
Hi Amy! unfortunately I never found any disc in the computer drives until now. Hope to find interesting ones in a futur deep cleaning 🤞
Thanks for your comment! hope you enjoyed the video ❤️
Another great work
Thank you Ramon ❤️🙏🏻
Mr. FS, I got a question for you:
What were those Green Chassis Brackets that had the tabs with the little screws under them to hold the hard drive in place their for besides
if I just answered my own question. You held the tabs and they moved the bracket
down in inch. But difficult to get the little screws out of it
because the screws were under the tabs!
Well, not sure to fully understand what you mean. This green plastic part si just to maintain the screws of the devices in place. 🤔 so in fact yeah, you did answer your own question 😅
I didn't remove that part. Do you have the same case and you tried?
Thanks for your comment @StrongNoah I hope that you enjoyed watching this old video ❤️
Firstly i would like to say have subscribed and liked 👍 to all your videos they are all very well done !! And the detail and effort that put in fantastic!!! .. Would there be any chance of you doing a Dell Optiplex tear down and clean in near future would look forward to that .. Thanks 😀
Thank you so much DR 3510 for your words! Really appreciate ❤️❤️
Well, I found a Dell Optiplex (745 if I'm right) in a basement. Don't know if I have everything needed to make the next episode with it, because I will maybe need to repaint some parts. Have to check it. But will for sure use it pretty soon 😊
Thanks also for the sub, and Welcome on board 🎉🎉
Je viens de regarder votre vidéo, j’apprécie beaucoup, j’ai le même PC que j’ai trouvé à la casse, malheureusement la carte mère d’origine est morte en mettant à jour le BIOS et je l’ai remplacée par une Asus d’un vieux PC HP et il fonctionne impeccable je trouve le boîtier juste magnifique. Continuez comme ça !
Merci beaucoup à toi Rénox Studio!
Content de savoir que la vidéo t'ai plu! Et merci beaucoup pour le commentaire ❤️❤️
This is my drug
Yey, thank you very much Glitchy Wolf_ ❤️
Beau travail! Même si j'aurais bien voulu voir la partie peinture de l'alimentation! 🙄
Salut yanik!
Effectivement, je n’ai pas filmé cette partie parce que je n’ai pas de setup de prêt encore pour que ce soit “propre” ou satisfaisant à regarder. Je n’avais pas envie de me filmer à l’arrache. Mais je vais essayer d’être prêt pour la prochaine occasion.
Merci à toi pour le commentaire ❤️
11:53 Why not show the painting process also?!?!
Well, I didn't have a good setup to catch it on video. Don't want to have a shitty part in the video, so I decided to not catch it. But I will for sure repaint again computers in the futur and will find a good way to catch it well on video.
Hope you enjoyed this video @andrewkamoha4666 . Thanks for your comments ❤️
wow an agp slot!
😅
I found a brand new one with monitor and still
Wrapped n the box!
oh really? But how did you find that??
Thanks for your comment BTW Smorfnimda, hope you enjoyed this video ❤️
Try installing windows vista on that pc
Thanks for the tip, but I'm not sure I will turn it on again 😅 that video was more a demonstration one.
Thanks for your comment @lukarurua42069 , I hope that you enjoyed watching this video ❤️
Interesting that the front panel does have stickers for athlon 64 and windows vista but you pulled out socket 478 pentium 4 from win xp era from it 😂 Would be cool to know story of this system.
All I can say is that I found this PC in a basement 😅 No idea what happened to it, but I guess it had a good life.
Thanks for your comment @mmartti2k116 , I hope that you enjoyed watching this video ❤️
@@french.satisfactory It could be that someone just got that case and build different machine inside it who knows 😂 Was very common to use random parts laying around. Yes i did and waiting for new similar videos to this!
Yeah, that was also my 1st thinking 😅
Glad to know you enjoyed ❤️❤️
perfect made.
Thank you Sica1000! Nice to see you back in the comment section also ❤️❤️
The fact that i have done the same thing recently on a nearly same model, an Acer Aspire E380-GB7L (2006) is unexpected but nice. I wonder why Acer decided to move the stickers to the right for the E380. Another question i have is : Do you have any PCs with the sticker "Designed for Windows XP // Windows Vista capable"?
By the same thing I guess you are talking about the Power cable repair? I was a bit afraid to do it to be honest. This piece have to be 100% secure. I will never give this PC to anyone else, but it was nice to shoot it in a RUclips video.
Thanks again for your comments Edwardthefallenengine , hope your also enjoyed this video ❤️
@@french.satisfactory oh and by the way when i asked if you had PCs with XP to Vista stickers in them i only asked this out of curiosity (i already have a bunch of these)
mmmh, if I remember well, I had one with an XP sticker. Don't remember about Vista, so I would say no. but yeah, everybody is trying to forget Vista so that's maybe why I don't remember 😅
Wow
nice videoo :=)
Thank you Luis man ❤️
My Father's PC is 14 yrs. Old since he was gone, and I'm gonna restore it hope I can restore and use it again for him, I wanna make him proud
That's a sad but sweet story. thanks for sharing it here @29malcolmmodequillo hope that you will be able to give it all the love it deserves. Don't hesitate to send pics by PM on instagram or something. Would Love to see that ❤️
Motivates me to check my old pc and clean it
Hi Mr Pikatchu!
Nice to know, enjoy 😊 Thanks for you comment ❤️
You make Good Videos
Thank you very much Unizock ❤️
This was my first Pc, I currently have it upgraded to 430W psu, OS SSD, 4GB DDR2, RADEON HD 4850, Athlon dual core 4200
Great. So you had good memories with it and continue to have some! I guess you cleaned it couple of time 😉
@@french.satisfactory Haha yessir! Deep cleaned not long ago 😂
5:23 Did multicard readers exist 15 years ago?
I don't think so ...
It is actually. The Original DVD Drive is a 2006 one, there was Norton 2006 on it, it is truly a 15 years old computer, and it had multiword readers 😉
So could this be used for anything off line for kids? Would I need to upgrade?
To play old games I guess? not sure actual kids want to play with them, but big kids like me are 😉
Thanks for your comment @joeharvie8362 I hope that you enjoyed watching this video ❤️
And sorry for this late reply, pretty busy personal and professional life lately 😇
Another good video. Excellent work.
Thanks you very much Joe Jones ❤️❤️
Geez i thought the power supply was beyond repair but somehow he saved it
Thank you very much SnowKittyPro ❤️
J'ai également un aspire ressemblant fortement à celui-ci mais pas les même composants. Et j'ai eu de la chance de le récupérer en bon état. Un athlon 3200+ et une x800 avec 2go de RAM et il tourne parfaitement ^^.
Juste dommage d'avoir mis Ubuntu dessus et pas un XP tout propre 😅
Restaurer ses machines donne un sentiment assez compliqué à expliquer mais qui fait du bien
Sauf exception comme une tour que j'ai sauver de la déchetterie ou j'ai mis w98. Mais bien sûr les pilotes CM ne veulent pas.
Et trouver de lecteurs CD / DVD et HDD en IDE fonctionnel est galère aujourd'hui malheureusement
Salut Rainbow Foxy!
C'est super! J'adore aussi ce sentiment de satisfaction qu'on éprouve quand on déniche un vieux PC, qu'on le retape et que dans certains cas, on peut même le réutiliser!! Franchement, ma mère qui ne va que très peu sur internet utilise encore celui que j'ai nettoyé pour ma première vidéo. Pour moi c'est parfait ❤️
Si tu as des photos et un compte Instagram, n"hésite pas à me tagger dessus. J'ai créé le compte de French Satisfactory entre autre pour voir vos photos à vous aussi.
Merci beaucoup à toi pour ce commentaire, ça fait plaisir ❤️ Bonne et heureuse années 2023 à toi 🥰

What i did was i used a paper clip to short a green and black wire on my psu to make it run and took a not working disk drive with a faulty lazer and took out everything exept the board and the motor to open/close the drive and now i have a cup holder
ahah that's pretty cool!

toujours aussi beau que la sotie d'usine.j'ai une question ou tu trouve la pince a coupé?et la petite pince grise?
Salut et merci à toi! Bonne question. J'ai acheté les deux dans un petit set il y a quelques années avec des tournevis. difficile à dire où c'était 😅
a ok;moi je commande sur la pommediscoud
nice
Thanks 🙏🏻
Je trouve personnellement que les PC acer se démonte plutôt bien
Je n'en ai pas ouvert tant que ça pour être honnête, mais celui-ci était effectivement assez facile à faire.
Merci à toi pour le commentaire Informat3k, j'espère que tu as apprécié cet épisode ❤️
i literally had an urge to cough looking at this pc even tho the dust aint that bad
😂😂 Thanks for you comment Kochayincha
muito bom

Why did you tape the Power Suply ?
Hi Artiom K523,
To repaint it 😉
Hope you enjoyed the video ❤️
Where do you find all of these?
Hi Ha_Im_Better,
Some of them come from people around me. Some others I found in a basement, and some others are from a guy I met pretty recently. You can find where come from every PCs in the video descriptions.
Nice to see you back in the comment section 🥰
Bro what is tour monitor model can u tell me please
Hi tayfun protos,
It is an MSI Pro MP241x.
Hope you enjoyed the video ❤️

Are you kidding me? No thermal paste residues on the CPU?
Hi Jordi Nuñez!
Yeah... looks like the previous owner didn't put TP on the CPU ... what a disaster. I was a bit surprised to see that the PC turned on properly. 😅
Thanks for your comment ✌🏻
not gonna lie, thought the mobo a heap of rust at first due to the light reflections
ah yes? at what time code ?

'comprendrais jamais le délire des gants et de la bombe d'air sec APRÈS le pinceau...
Salut à toi @Cavalera61!
Et bien les gants sont surtout là pour éviter que je ne touche de la poussière de je ne sais où et que j’ai la bonne idée de me toucher le visage ensuite. J’ai bien moins ce réflexe avec.
L’utilisation du pinceau en premier permet de désincruster la poussière qui ne partirait pas juste avec l’air sec. Et l’air sec lui permet également de virer la petite poussière difficilement accessible avec le pinceau. Il faut dire que cette vidéo est assez ancienne, j’ai amélioré mes process depuis.
Voilà, espérant que ça réponde à tes interrogations.
Merci à toi pour ton commentaire. J’espère que tu auras tout de même apprécié cette vidéo ❤️
Topelite l'une des pires marques d'alimentation ^^ bon ça reste à peine moins nul que heden ou advance x) En fait ce genre d'alim annonce 400w mais en réalité même pas 200w en sort et au dessus elles explosent ou prennent feu.
En effet, cette marque est souvent cité dans des listes de marques à éviter 😅

Super! content que ça t'ai plus 🙂
There's no point in cleaning such an old computer. The CPU has easily 20 years under its belt.
You are right, this cleaning sessions was more to make a pleasant video to watch ;)
Thanks for your comment @Nost2682 , I hope you enjoyed watching it ❤️
It has been 15 days i Haven't cleaned my pc and it's more dirty than this 💀
You should maybe consider try to find the reason 😅 Better for your health as well 😷
Thx for your comment BTW ❤️
that motherboard ain't original to this model of this computer when was originally shipped....
Mmmmh looks like you are right. it was an AMD socket visibly. Nice shot.
Hope you enjoyed the video even with this 😅
I changed the video description to say that the Motherboard/Processor has been changed, so thanks for the info Mogu Us ❤️
good work 👍
Thank you very much severus snape ❤️❤️
Mujur anda tidak cuci dengan air dan sabun mandi🤗
hehehe. Well, I'm doing it in more recent videos, because it is the best way to remove all dust and dirty things. But never with electronic parts 😉
Thanks for your comment mdnor matnor ❤️
Why don't you have put this pc in washing machine instead?
Well, I also had this in mind but decided to take the hard way 😇
Thanks for your comment MR, hope you enjoyed the video ❤️
@@french.satisfactory Yes! Great real video! Here on youtube you could see pc cleaning video in which people wash motherboard into water with toothbrush! Absolutely out of mind!
Yey, thank you very much MR, nice to know you enjoyed ❤️
And yeah, I know this is technically possible to wash electronic parts with water but... I'm not a big fan of it, and I don't doing this for couple of reasons 😅
Thanks again MR for your comment 🥰
why? Do you clean and repair computers that you can't even use right now? don't you understand?
Well, it's 100% true 😂 I mean, I would say 80% true because some of the computers I cleaned, went back to their owners after cleaning. I also cleaned and repair computers I keep in my office and think about giving them to the community. But I don't know yet how and when I will do that. I still have to think about it.
But globally yes. I try to make the videos as satisfying to watch as possible. That's the initial goal of this channel. 😉
@@french.satisfactory Thank you so much for responding even though you are busy.
Yeah, I'm looking for more useless computers 😂
Have a great day 컴형TV ❤️
Is there HDD inside desktop PC in 2022?
Please, don't abuse your's customers.
Use SSD instead. It's cheap and way too quicker. Prices start at 15$ for 120GB and 20$ for 240GB SSDs.
Hi strent olle! Not sure to understand what you mean. This is just a Pc I found in a basement. I am cleaning computers and try to do as satisfying as possible my videos. I don't have cleaning business and customers or something 😅
There was no HDD in this computer when I found it. So I added one I had at my place for this video. My goal here was not really to upgrade the PC, it was just to show that the computer is working after my cleaning.
But thanks for you comment, it can maybe clarify what I'm doing here for other people. You can also find more infos in my videos description. And don't hesitate to ask if you have other questions, or if I misunderstood something ✌🏻
