IF YOU ENJOYED THIS VIDEO, CONSIDER TOSSING ME A DONATION: https://SubscribeStar.com/JodyBruchon I originally made this video for a specific person who is a huge fan of Tool. It's the third video I've ever cut together and I put a lot more work into it than I did in the first two videos. I was going for a sort of "everything is fine, then the apocalypse happens" imagery. You be the judge of whether or not it's effective. Song used without author's permission under the fair use doctrine of copyright law. https://jodybruchon.com/ http://www.gazingcat.com/

This is a LONG video about a member of the Dell Inspiron 15-5000 series. Everything had to be disassembled and swapped to a whole new frame. This machine had to be fully disassembled (excluding the screen/lid) to replace the keyboard. There is a lot to like about this kind of laptop design, but the inability to do a keyboard replacement rather than an entire palmrest/frame replacement is not one of those things. 0:00 Intro 1:15 Unscrew bottom cover 2:14 Remove DVD drive/hidden screws 3:17 Pry off the bottom cover 4:55 Everything has to come out 5:41 Remove the motherboard 12:38 WARNING: hidden connectors 15:00 Battery, hard drive, USB board, etc. 18:24 LCD cable, power button board 20:43 Remove L/R speakers 21:42 Front indicator light board 23:18 Remove touchpad assemblies 25:22 Reassembly; touchpad install 33:05 Reinstall L/R speakers and wires 35:55 Battery install; backlight cable woes 38:25 Install hard drive/SSD assembly 39:24 Install power button board 40:40 Install USB board 42:24 Put LCD/lid assembly under frame 44:26 Feed LCD data cable through frame 45:30 Connect power button board 46:18 Place motherboard; check all cables 50:47 Keyboard backlight cable routing problems 55:20 Keyboard connector: check for removable film 57:10 Left hinge and wireless card 59:48 I HATE THIS BACKLIGHT CABLE 1:03:00 Cleaning dirty CPU fan and cover 1:03:55 Bottom cover & DVD drive screws 1:09:20 Cleaning the dirty LCD 1:11:16 All done!
