MELOCODI Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 This is my daily driver, it went through alot of stuff, I never used a laptop as a daily driver before. I've got it for cheap (200€), because the seller was open about damage that this laptop has (it is mostly cosmetic). Original configuration: i7-4800MQ AMD FirePro M5100 16 GB 1600 mHz Hynix 512 GB LiteOn IT LCS-512M6S SSD Dell 330W XM3C3 PSU My upgrades: AMD FirePro M5100 --> NVIDIA Quadro T1000 16 GB 1600 mHz Hynix --> 32 GB 1866 mHz G.Skill RipJaws (I will definitely overclock it at one point) DVD --> Samsung EVO 870 1TB Original SSD --> Samsung EVO 870 512 GB Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 --> MPE-AXE3000H Wi-Fi 6E I have replaced DVD with SATA caddy, so I have two SATA SSDs. I've placed LCS-512M6S in caddy and dropped in Samsung EVO 860 in a place of an old one. I have also replaced a dead battery with a 97 WH battery. I've dremeled out a small piece of frame to have access to BIOS chips without disassembly, this helped me remove Intel ME, almost completely + I have unlocked SPD write capabilities. UPDATE 1#: Replaced original SSD with Samsung EVO 870, 860 went into DVD ODD slot UPDATE 2#: JAPANESE KEYBOARD UPDATE 3#: Replaced default AVC CPU fan with a Delta fan UPDATE 4#: Replaced Wi-Fi module with a newer one UPDATE 5#: Replaced 860 EVO 512 GB with 870 EVO 1024 GB UPDATE 6# WIP: Waiting for new backlit Japanese keyboard to arrive + new palmrest with fingerprint sensor & NFC reader + i7 4980HQ 2 1 DELL Precision M4800 : Spoiler GPU: NVIDIA Quadro T1000 CPU: i7 4800MQ (Undervolted) (Waiting for i7 4980HQ) RAM: 32 GB G.Skill RipJaws 1866 mHz (4 x 8 GB) Storage (SATA1): Samsung SSD 870 EVO 512 GB Storage (SATA2): Samsung SSD 870 EVO 1024 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitje Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 You did one hell of a good job getting it back together working. 🙂 You can bung in an mSATA for a third storage medium if you desired. Although mSATA has become a little harder to get but I have a Kingston 240GB in mine.

Although mSATA has become a little harder to get but I have a Kingston 240GB in mine. That's a great idea, I agree, hopefully I will manage to find LA-9772P motherboard one day, because it is a budget build, I think the best way is to find someone who has a broken laptop, so I can get it for cheap (to rock that 120 Hz GSYNC display). I also think about replacing fans with some Delta fans. 1 DELL Precision M4800 : Spoiler GPU: NVIDIA Quadro T1000 CPU: i7 4800MQ (Undervolted) (Waiting for i7 4980HQ) RAM: 32 GB G.Skill RipJaws 1866 mHz (4 x 8 GB) Storage (SATA1): Samsung SSD 870 EVO 512 GB Storage (SATA2): Samsung SSD 870 EVO 1024 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 in my workstation, one in my wife's notebook and one in my sons 2 notebooks. Plus a few extra. Cheap as chips and plenty speedy for a sata.
