I was thinking to respray my laptop case since it already rusty, but keep on delaying it from month-to-month. Until one day, my cat wee wee on in .
So, there you go, i have to strip the laptop and washed it.


Let it dry on my exhaust fan


Try to power in on after few weeks leave it to dry. walla..it works. bad news, HDD died.

So i begin my work since it still can be use.


Part that need re-touch


The rush and the scratch


The orange peeled

Can't wait want to see it succeed

Nice project

Really respect you for having the guts to actually strip down all the laptop hardware , not everyone can do it...

Waa nice.. fast2 upload.. i want see the result

thanks

Its nothing anyway, same as strip down desktop, just this, smaller in size and so much screws to take care and remember.

will update after CNY. hope the weather is on my side.

i don't think it is good to place ur laptop parts on ur desktop exhaust fans ><

Why? care to share ur knowledge.

um well...usually it's better to prevent dust to reach the pcb and other electronic components.. also how did u wash it anyway? or u just wipe the components with a partly wet cloth? just a normal blow would work well to dry compared to exhaust fumes from ur desktop >.<

kalau mintak you tolong buat to my laptop also can ah? my laptop is dell studio 15..

wash it by using soap and water (like in the picture in the spoiler). the hot air from the exhaust fans let it dry completely since i leave it there about more than a week..well, jz to make sure it is 100% dried. dush can always be clean using brush or better yet, vacuum it.



its a very long and banyak kerja kene buat. plus I'm not that expert yet to buat laptop orang.

serious no problem to was the mobo using soap n water? i wanna try to wash my old amd754 mobo which is very sticky and dusty due to no casing n enviroment is very oily cause near to kitchen.

so far no problem for me. I washed my keyboard, motherboard. just make sure it is 100% dry before u power it on. If not dry enuf, kaboom.
Try at ur own risk. I'm not responsible if any damage happened

so how u gonna dry it? hair dryer + put under sun light ?

true but need to make sure it is totally dry...

as i mentioned in the 1st post



Thats the key to success.

tomorrow I will update the spraying process.
