  • This laptop has a serious heating issue -_-'

  • @Cl3viin I think it depends a lot on the CPU. The one in my vid has a Pentium Dual with pretty low clock speed, so it doesn't tend to run very hot.

  • Nice tutorial =) Can you do a disassembly video for the same aspire 5742 ? because i wanna see how you open the back and cleans the fan =)

  • @lollerte sorry, it's my wife's laptop and I don't want to risk taking it apart!

  • You forgot to download the old hard drive onto the new hard drive. This should be done first using an external box with your new hard drive in it also you have to format your new hard drive. If you did this you would not have to download a new operating system. I think you know this but you should let maybe people know there is a couple of ways to do it. Particularly if they want to save all their data. The way yo did it everything is lost.

  • @Stringyheads actually I did backup the old hard drive, and the new hard drive was formatted during the OS installation, but I didn't want to go off topic in this video. I wanted to stick strictly to the hard drive replacement.

    To start with, this computer looks slick. I have gotten lots of compliments on the sharp-looking keyboardAlso, this computer is fast enough to run all of the applications that an office user would want. The 4GB of ram is more than I need for web browsing, photoshop, or coding. Moreover, the side number pad has been helpful for data entry ...
