Watch the long-form video of this repair! This Alienware 17 R5 gaming laptop was top of the line back in 2018, but now it has a broken fan, the CPU and GPU are overheating, the WiFi card is broken, the HDD is slow, there’s no SSD, and it needs a new keyboard. Common issues on these that require an absolute insane amount of work to replace. These were so over-engineered you need to take apart a million screws just to access the heatsink. Not something I would recommend doing yourself, and even a repair shop will be hesitant on taking on the job because of the amount of labor they have to charge
