what we have here is an old laptop that runs great but it overheats and then it starts going really really slow and you find that hey if your laptop has a poor cooling system what is it going to do in order to prevent damage to your internal components well the computer has intelligence built-in that says oh I'm getting hot I need to do something here I need to turn off the fan ok fan isn't doing it it's still getting hotter so now I got to turn down the central processing unit the CPU what happens when we down clock our CPU all of a sudden our computer starts to go slow right yeah so it does that in order to prevent damage to the components of the computer and this is both desktops laptops whatever even my phone if it gets too hot will warn me there's getting too hot and it starts shutting down things yeah unfortunately Samsung didn't implement that feature so are you getting updates yeah that's amazing during the live show it's time to restart your device your device will restart at 8 o'clock to finish installing updates this is really this is my laptop that I have it from home yeah it goes warns you at 15 minutes ahead of time yeah I guess your device will restart at 8 o'clock they finish installing updates if this time works for you select confirm if you want you can restart now or we'll try later to restart Outsiders we hate to get sidetracked but once again Windows 10 interrupts everything and if we're if we're lucky Wirecast will not that computer won't reboot itself for another during the life Cass okay so we've got this laptop here which does not have Windows 10 on it it has Linux actually Ubuntu mattei is installed on here and as I was saying the computer will slow itself down in order to keep itself cool because there's something wrong with the cooling system so first of all we can open it up we've got the battery in it and fire it up and oh oh there was like a snapping sound good something didn't sound good and there's there's no air coming out of this side vent here I wonder if there's something in there because it started grinding not good okay so I'm not even going to turn it on this is your this is your laptop from home this is like bad guys laughs this is just an old laptop okay demos on the show okay you it wasn't at home with your kids right like it may actually have a Hot Wheels in the cooling system it's possible okay so with this particular laptop and every laptop is just ever so slightly different the one that we're looking at tonight is a compact 65 10 B so that dates it you can see that it is a rather old system but we can we can buy time on these old systems by adding of fixing components so you can take this to a shop and they'll say oh it's really old or whatever but it runs a boon to might a like a dream but it overheats it gets really hot and then it gets really slow under ten dollars it's pretty cheap on Amazon you can do a search for the model number you can type compact 65 ten be cooling fan and you'll find it for like six bucks okay so yeah two a two hundred dollar repair or having to buy any laptop so with this particular laptop again it's gonna be a little bit different for each and every one but let's I've got this camera here specifically so that I can kind of show you around so on the bottom here you can see this little icon that looks like a keyboard and that points to a screw and you see that there are a couple of those three of them in fact there's one here it's a little hard to operate everything all at once but there's a keyboard one there and a little screw hole and one over here and that's there so quite often we need to remove the keyboard in order to gain access to the internal components the keyboard here actually has a lot of stuff underneath of it like the motherboard the cooling system the processor all that stuff is under there so let's get in there I'm gonna just simply remove those three screws that I showed you there it helps to have a screwdriver handy you know those are those are necessary usually oh yeah now this one's a little bit different because this one is actually a door to the memory compartment no less see if I can get you a camera view here or is it dead no I charge the battery it just shuts down after a few minutes of non-use that's all I want to want to get you the view okay so this is actually the memory so if you want to upgrade the the memory that's here okay and that's a simple flip of the wrist like that okay this is the wireless adapter here well can you guys see that okay this is the memory this is the wireless adapter there's the antenna coming off of it and there's a screw here that looks like the keyboard screw so it's hidden there I'm just gonna simply loosen that one off we've encountered before with this laptop I loved that the screws don't actually fall out that's something that I do like it has like a spring mechanism that holds them there that's kind of cool alrighty so now that that is loose first of all I'm gonna be getting into the internal components and I should have done this before I each act up the RAM but remove the battery we don't have any power ok cuz that could hurt well we don't want a zap it or anything like that we could also ground ourselves if we have any static issues so there we go so this keyboard again a little different than some others this particular keyboard now that I've removed the screws got a taut cable there there we go this particular keyboard now that we've removed the screws we need to flip these little switches here can I be different one quick second because everybody wants you to remove the battery did I already did okay yeah really Batman might not have noticed right on top of it it's over there now it's perfect okay I took it out and and I stopped touching things with with my static fingers Oh perfect thank you alright so I've got a couple of these little switches here it's really hard to do this there we go oh I've only got one more case there we go so now that those are done I should be able just to kind of pop it here do you want to take that camera you can hold it up a little bit higher so that we can see there I should be able just to get right under there and if I can't watch the keys you don't want to pull the keys off there we go okay so there we've got the keyboard up and out of the way and here is the cooling system so this goes to a heat sink that goes to the CPU and this then blows air over the fins here and out the side of the computer so there's gonna be a couple of screws here that we need to remove first screws it looks like it's attached and should be one more screw here somewhere which looks as though it might be under this bezel so if we're careful she'll be able to get that up there we are and you can see there's one more screw here how you doing Kelsey pretty good doing all right there camera guy there we are okay so now we've got this screw here don't lose those so this is the cooling fan that's completely dead and you can see that here's the power for the fan I'm just gonna pull that out of the motherboard carefully you don't want to break anything there we are okay Oh see that hello buddy there was a screw inside the CPU fan the cooling fan no one probably that grinding noise valve would have been the grinding noise I guarantee ya okay so let's pull out the the new fan that we've got here you see how easy and how quick this is to repair a folks so again the the part itself is only you know a few bucks under ten bucks on anywhere you want to get it Amazon is where I picked it up so that just goes right in there and I'll show you again so this heatsink here now I might want to clean that up I probably will I'll take it apart again and blow it out with some compressed air but we're not gonna do that on the show tonight so we're just gonna put that in there got the two screws totally called it in the chat room set way earlier that it was a screw in there do you think it was oh absolutely way to go yeah so way to go out right nicely done okay so in here we got our screw back in there sorry about the counter folks might be a little shaky that's especially if you take a little alright um I wonder if this screw would actually fit cuz this screw is attached to this fan so can I use it could this be the blessed screw that allows us to oh it's some kind of weird it's not Philips it's like an allen key screw this huh I don't know where it's from or what it's for where did you come from where did you go what are you doing where did you come from there little screw so I do need another screw for this I mean I kind of do it's tight in there it feels good so in this particular case I'm short one screw I'm gonna find one and all so I'll put it in there no problem yeah and it reminds me of jot when I built the server and I forgot to put a couple screws in he gave me the hardest time now I you know anyone wants to talk about the CPU fan is held in with one screw and here's the power for that there we go that's just gonna go in one way there we are so make sure that there are no obstructions in the fan no screws this does not go right there there we go good thing to do nice and simple put that in clip these guys back together get that a top part back in properly oh the bezel here yeah that just snaps there we go okay almost almost so I say so I say thanks copy 7 issues issues so Robbie what are the chances that the original fan actually wasn't broken and then maybe it was just the screw oh well see the problem is sasha is that the fan itself with a screw in it would not be able to spin and so the bearings would actually burn oh ok that makes sense you would need to replace it rather than just take off the screw ok yeah the fan itself is no longer any good I wouldn't trust it at all okay that's good to note yeah I'll just leave it like this and you can there we go I got the bezel in anyways yeah so this is only go in one way boom bear okay so I've got the three screws at the bottom here to put in I can do that I'm gonna do that after the show cuz I know we've got more questions I'm gonna throw the battery and let's just see if that fan fires up I can hear it nice I can feel it it's cool air blowing out of there yeah definitely cool air brilliant repair complete folks how long did that take in all honesty could we have done that in five minutes if we weren't carrying on and they having fun probably probably good okay so I've got a couple of screws to put in the bottom here I can do that right after the show and then there we yeah that's your basic simple repair to a laptop if you've got a dead cooling system I've got an extra screw if we ever need somewhere probably I'm someone
