Thank you for uploading this video, because Dell Inspiron N5110 is the first laptop I have when attending college. It's a friend that goes with me almost all of my youth time.
DAMMITT! Andrew never change! I absolutely love your work! i do the same with desktops and laptops and just get inspired by what you do! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
I have been using this laptop since 2012! Upgrade the HDD to SSD and 8GB RAM! I have left Windows 7 and on another partition installed Windows 10! At the beginning WIN 10 was not working properly, but after years of updates now is working like a charm! I am going to bay a new laptop next year in 2023, still waiting for DDR 5 RAM price go down, and that CPUs prices of Intel 12 gen and AMD be more reasonable! I like your channel, I heve been doing repares more then 30 years back. All the best and stay safe!
Awesome restoration once again Andrew ✊💪😇😉. I’m still rocking my original Win 7 Ultimate Edition Retail CD & Licence and I never bothered upgrading the Windows key to a newer version. I loved my Win 7 Ultimate and install it now and again just for nostalgia reasons 💪🥰. Love your work 🤯😇
Great job. I've never done an N5110, but I have done several slightly older machines, Dell Inspiron 1545s and an Inspiron 1764. The 1545 can have almost everything upgraded, but the T9900 is the best CPU it can handle. Glad you were able to get that oldie running again.👍
It’s great to see your upload again, really loved what you’re doing!! Wished to do the same as you but unfortunately don’t know what to do to those laptops once done, love the videos you produced. Keep the great work up!!!
I was repairing a laptop last night similar to this and also had a screw not come out of the Wi-Fi card. They seem to be a more inferior quality screw than the rest of the laptop screws.
Hi bro, am planing to upload some failed projects but together with successful ones, because these failed in many cases are boring, mostly I stuck at repairing motherboard, even i have some where theoretically the motherboard is alive but is not starting 😀
@Cat and Andrew this is my first laptop in 2014 passed on from my brother. He bought it in 2011 and did his bachelor thesis, I did mine, and my dad still uses it daily for Streaming in 2K. It runs Win10 and Ubuntu on SSD. He did upgrade the ram to 12gb but still uses i3 processor. Even though we have high gaming setups, all of us like the DELL n5110. It's a sentiment and every year along with all devices, it gets a cleaning and new thermal paste. In fact the only machine that still has a DVD RW drive at my home. It's now 11 years old i think.
i also has one but with an i5 and a smaller keyboard it belongs to my parents but they haven’t use it since 2016 i think and just left it in the dust until i found it again at 2018 non functioning ever since then it’s has a hard time cuz my brother like to punch the laptop screen and it’s now on my desk collecting dust cuz my brother switch over to a better laptop it’s great that your laptop is being take care of unlike mine😅
i have the same machine but the mother board is a goner but this machine served me for a ten year straight uni and work also gaming was my first laptop and i am glad i choose it
Awesome video mann. I always enjoyed you giving new life to these old machines. Can you please recommend based on your experience which thermal paste is the best for gaming laptops? Also, in how many years should I change my thermal paste?
Hi bro, Arctic Silver and Thermal Grizzly or cheaper option Cooler Master Master Gel Pro. I use these types in gaming laptops or computers, also these are great for GPUs, laptop or desktop.
Nice work with this laptop, I re-watched this video for a repair and restoration I'm doing. Question, is it safe to clean the heatsink with soap and water, and then remove excess with compressed air?
Hi, I own this model but at the moment it's dead, really similar condition to the one shown in the video, not even charging, I'll try to follow instructions from the video and try to bring it back to life.
Antes que nada excelentes todos tus videos de restauración de laptops, tengo una dell idéntica, pero deseo saber si puedo cambiar el procesador de core i5 a core i7 y que tipo de memorias ram debería usar para hacer la actualización. Un cordial saludo desde Mérida, Yucatán, México.
i have one and it’s running windows 10 and i gotta say that it’s not great at all cuz the laptop took 60 seconds to boot up to windows and open just 1 google tab took 20 seconds and if im open just 4 tab the laptop aready struggled so it’s best to keep it on windows 7😅
Glad to hear that you got it back up and running, though I don't like what Dell have done here. Why should you have to remove the display and motherboard in order to change the hard drive? Also Windows 7 would have been the OS that came with the machine. Windows 10 would work perfectly fine, and is still supported, but Windows 7 is still a good OS and can run some programs that Windows 10 can't.
I recently restored a similar Inspiron N5050. Just upgraded RAM from 6gb to 8gb (with what I had around) and, despite not upgrading the HDD to a SSD it's still snappy for regular, non-intensive use. Word of caution, updating to latest BIOS is a must if planning on installing Windows 10. If you get it without a boot drive or with a wiped one (as was my case), install either Windows 7 or 8, update BIOS and then install Windows 10
Those lids are interchangeable too (the red part) on the lower part of the back cover in the middle theres a button. Push that and that red lid slides off
andrew do you have a tips or guide on how to unscrew a stuck bolt ? I had experiences where I fail at unscrewing cpu's shield two times... for some reason the bolt is always tight. I can't replace my thermal paste because of that. by the way, thankyou for the video, it always so therapeutic watching your video
I do really miss Andrew saying 'before you clean this kind of displays, make sure no water passes the edge of the display. This may damage the entire display' Ahahah. 😂 Anyways, I really enjoyed the video bro. 😄 And noticed some parts on your sofa 👀✨Am excited for upcoming videos ❤️
It could be interesting if you make a video when you show some fail projects because it's always interesting to learn also different cases when you are repairing a laptop/Pc
10:15 Here at least i could manage to get windows 10 activated with a 7 key. Unfortunately, for me, it is not shown how to reconnect the flex cables, i could not manage, without some serious, modifying of the cables, and cutting aluminium part inside to bits, that project still in the works, so not sure about the outcome, though i am pretty positive. And this laptop's cpu upgradable, did not cross my mind even that a possibility, i just may do the same, not sure, but nice to know the option is there, knew there was some use in watching these video's.
Nice work. I m find good to see you replace directly some electronics component out of order. Maybe you can show this for an other equipement like TV or washing machine and avoid the wastage... Nice work again and 96% alcohol :)! Bye
I have the same laptop with i7 CPU and dedicated gaphics GeForce 525m - 8GB Ram with SATA SSD. I play Valorant at full HD no problem at 70FPS. It is a great laptop. For thermals, I have cooling pad and used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste. CPU max at 85C and GPU at 75C while playing Valorant.
I have one like this exact same laptop but the Nvidia GeForce gt 525m doesn't read ram and the Bluetooth stopped working. How can I fix ? Love your videos ♥️
Hey Andrew, I have a Compaq Presario CQ57 and i upgraded it by adding an SSD to it using the disc caddy, and now it is working all fast and smooth but the most major problem that i am facing now is that the laptop is overheating and shutting down very often i have cleaned the laptop and got it serviced with fresh thermal paste also but the problem continues. Also i have noticed that the fan is running slower according to me not making enough air flow. What should I do ? Please suggest.🙂
I have the same laptop but the fan is spinning at 100% all the time, i changed the fan, updated the bios, replaced cmos battery but nothing works, do you have any idea? Really appreciate.
Well done on finding what actually happened to the laptop,so often owners are too embarrassed to admit HOW they damaged their laptop.Takes a Sherlock Holmes level of deduction to find out what they REALLY did!
Finally my favorite 96% alcohol content haha
Cannot agree more 😂😂😂,
What i see, a '96% alcohol' gang member aswell
🤣
It’s a riddle, swap the 9 and the 6😳😳
@@Justus24491 oh no 😳
I love videos like this. I find it a lot more interesting to see how old machines fare nowadays than seeing really expensive computers
Exactly that's why I love old and cheap laptop
I love watching these as I am a retired computer repair tech and from time to time I really miss the job. Your videos seem to help a lot. Thanks
This video become even better after a full day of work, it’s awesome to stay calm and relax.
Thank you for uploading this video, because Dell Inspiron N5110 is the first laptop I have when attending college. It's a friend that goes with me almost all of my youth time.

The only channel in my subscriptions that I have enabled notifications for. It's a good day today!
You should open Repair shop or something else, your patience is on another level, you have much experience so I suggest you to do it
These videos are relaxing therapy after a long day at work
THANK YOU FOR MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT THIS LAPTOP. It's such an underrated machine.
Awesome restoration once again Andrew ✊💪😇😉. I’m still rocking my original Win 7 Ultimate Edition Retail CD & Licence and I never bothered upgrading the Windows key to a newer version. I loved my Win 7 Ultimate and install it now and again just for nostalgia reasons 💪🥰. Love your work 🤯😇

Andrew my name is also Andrew and in the last two videos you've weirdly restored the same laptops I have restored and Im strangely freaked out.
It’s great to see your upload again, really loved what you’re doing!! Wished to do the same as you but unfortunately don’t know what to do to those laptops once done, love the videos you produced. Keep the great work up!!!
Excellent content as always! greetings from Venezuela. I've been watching your channel since 2018.
You may not upload often, but your uploads are always high quality
Always awesome seeing your videos Andrew! You're an inspiration for what I do with computers at home!
what computers do you have
Good to have you back!
I love your videos, so clean and calm
just a tip if you need to fix chipped or broken plastics. Use some clay and superglue to fill in the hole and it will fix the problem for good.
Your videos have inspired me to start a project of my own. Thank you Andrew!
Watching this on my N5110, which has been my sidekick since 2012 😁
@CatAn Andrew, as always, good laptop restorations and upgrades. Excellent work. Greetings from Bogota, Colombia
would have liked to have seen how you diagnosed what was faulty in the laptop and then how you replaced the MOSFET.
Great job! I always find your videos very satisfying and enjoyable to watch.
your work is simply beautiful. I really enjoy your videos. keep it up Andrew
I would love to one project laptop one day. Thank you for this great video! Supporter from Philippines!
Always excited for new vids buddy.
I was repairing a laptop last night similar to this and also had a screw not come out of the Wi-Fi card. They seem to be a more inferior quality screw than the rest of the laptop screws.
I really love your videos. I would also like to see your failed projects, they could be instructive. I would also like you to upload more, haha.

Greetings from Canada Andrew I just wanted to say that i really enjoy your content keep up the great work :)
Really fine video, pleasure to watch, keep good work!
I´ve been waiting weeks for this, love u Andrew
Wow it took you ages to upload a new video but I love it
always a great day when you upload

Nice attention to detail 👍🤟

It's been a while missed Ur videos, also hands down the best restoration Chanel on RUclips
nice clean restore, props for stronghold crusader!!!
Nice vide Andrew, congratulations!
Waiting 4 your videos long time !!
i have the same machine but the mother board is a goner but this machine served me for a ten year straight uni and work also gaming was my first laptop and i am glad i choose it
Would have loved to see how you figured out which components on the motherboard were the issue without just cutting that bit out
Awesome video mann. I always enjoyed you giving new life to these old machines. Can you please recommend based on your experience which thermal paste is the best for gaming laptops? Also, in how many years should I change my thermal paste?

Good work again. I wish I would have more time for my own repair projects. Greetings
Finally new video
Finally after full month you're back...
Excelente trabajo, estan buenisimos los videos, me gustaria mucho hacer tambien los mismo algun dia, saludos desde Argentina!!!
Hi, I own this model but at the moment it's dead, really similar condition to the one shown in the video, not even charging, I'll try to follow instructions from the video and try to bring it back to life.

When spray painting a console do you use a sealer to keep it from coming off?
Espectacular como siempre, mejor con Windows 10.
i have one and it’s running windows 10 and i gotta say that it’s not great at all cuz the laptop took 60 seconds to boot up to windows and open just 1 google tab took 20 seconds and if im open just 4 tab the laptop aready struggled so it’s best to keep it on windows 7😅
With a Windows 10 version, that works very well with this configuration!

Upgraded to win 10 without any problem
Hello. Can you make a video on how you repair mother boards problems like replacing IC's. By the way, I love watching your videos awesome repairs ☺️❤️
Can you make videos like custom case video's for broken laptops
Wow this is my computer that i'm using right now. How a talent to fix this impossible computer🥰🐣
the old one where you can put the processor out it just feel pretty good if you compare to the newer one
You have done satisfied work 👍🏻. i have same Dell Laptop and updated with SSD AND RAM but the window 10 Graphics Drivers not Supported ?
Your the best guy ever. 😀😀😀💪🏿🙏🏿👌🏿
Love your videos I have been thinking is it possible to turn a broken laptop into a touch screen tablet.
Una lastima que la barra espaciadora del teclado se vea mal , esta torcida o le falla el muelle inferior de sujeccion, por lo demas un gran trabajo.
Hi Andrew. Why did you install Win7 instead of Win10? Win10 performs best on older PCs with a 4 core CPU and 16GB of RAM.
How did you see that you needed to change the two MOSFETs ? Were they burnt ?
Again a great video, thanks 👍👍👍
Next video on Dell Inspiron 15 35 42 please 🙏
Those lids are interchangeable too (the red part) on the lower part of the back cover in the middle theres a button. Push that and that red lid slides off
Love your videos
It will be awesome if you show how you replace components or check and figure out where short is
andrew do you have a tips or guide on how to unscrew a stuck bolt ? I had experiences where I fail at unscrewing cpu's shield two times... for some reason the bolt is always tight. I can't replace my thermal paste because of that.
by the way, thankyou for the video, it always so therapeutic watching your video
Would love a diagnostics video where you explain your process
So the CPU can be upgraded! What MOSFET did you replace on the mobo? How did you determine it was bad?
I do really miss Andrew saying 'before you clean this kind of displays, make sure no water passes the edge of the display. This may damage the entire display' Ahahah. 😂
Anyways, I really enjoyed the video bro. 😄 And noticed some parts on your sofa 👀✨Am excited for upcoming videos ❤️
Hello,
I love your videos and can you do a hackintosh again please?
Thank you
It could be interesting if you make a video when you show some fail projects because it's always interesting to learn also different cases when you are repairing a laptop/Pc
is that mSATA ssd slot near the ram?
Got curious and I google it. "Mini-PCI-e slot originally intended for a WWAN card". Too old to have mSata ports.
@@DarkGT i see... Thanks for the info man
Hi andrew can you bring back budget hackintosh build series btw like your videos
