I had already bought a SATA SSD with the intention of upgrading my desktop but ended up using it for the laptop. I'll convert the 1TB hard drive to an external drive once I get an enclosure.

I swear MS store has like 10 units of each sale item. I have been checking during the last year. Whatever one I want is always sold out. Worse than Stooples or OOS.

I'm thinking of buying this screen to replace the shitty panel that is in this laptop:

Any reason this wouldn't work with this model?

So, let me get it straight, you want to buy a screen with a resolution of 1366×768 "with a little dead pixels" (per seller's disclosure) to replace a "shitty" FHD screen?Teioh wrote: ↑ I'm thinking of buying this screen to replace the shitty panel that is in this laptop:

Thankfully i didn't buy that panel. I found a donor panel from last years i5559 signature edition deal and swapped them around. It's night and day difference in terms of how much better it is to use this laptop now.

Waiting for those to be exposed soon as wellFrostyWinnipeg wrote: ↑Any rumours about their 10 Days of Deals?
Could you write up a complete guide on what procedure you used to replace the lcd on this model with the new one you got? And what source you used to retrieve one? Ebay or kijiji?
Dells got to have an option to change the display before they send it out to you if you just call them.
I am pretty sure they won't mind charging you more for a better screen then the one offered on this particular model.
I am sure of it.

There are about a billion guides on youtube on how to do it. It's really easy to do, here is an example.
I was able to get my hands on a screen for free from a family member. Many people use the site https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/ to order their screens.
You want to find an IPS 1920x1080 screen that has a 40 pin connector for this laptop.

i was able to install a 512gb m.2 nvme 2280 sdd (intel 600p) plus keeping the original HDD as a backup document storage
and installed an identical ddr4 stick of ram to enable dual channel mode
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Hynix-HMA81GS6A ... 1438.l2649
pretty much pimped it out as much as i can so far, it will be my non gaming desktop replacement
and installed an identical ddr4 stick of ram to enable dual channel mode
