1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,879
is it raining finally all right

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,639
let's go get the xps 13. what why well

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:13,360
we're gonna soak it why didn't you already soak that one no

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,680
that's my xps 12. this is the this is their newer laptop

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,480
no it rained last night so

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,199
this is the state of it this water is actually dripping out from

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:31,679
inside the notebook yeah this is going to be awesome so we're going to find out

8
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:37,120
if the xps 13 can survive being out in the rain just like its predecessor which

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,800
also isn't waterproof so it sat here for about a week the thing i don't know yet

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:48,079
because the thing that's most like look at that right where i left it what oh my god

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,480
i'm not supposed to do stupid things minus what is it that was an accident

12
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:55,640
the first time and this time it's also an accident

13
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,159
Corsair's h8i gt and h100i gtx

14
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:13,280
all-in-one liquid coolers improve both the appearance and cooling of your pc

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,040
click my shoulder to learn more we're going to mix things up a bit

16
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:21,119
now technically the xps 13 which i've been carrying

17
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:26,960
around in my backpack with my xps 12 which survived being left

18
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,560
out in the rain overnight you can check out that video here

19
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:35,840
now i've been carrying this around in my backpack because i've been waiting all

20
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:42,799
this time for an opportunity to find out if the xps 13 could also survive a

21
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,560
similar encounter with the elements so

22
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:48,000
the first thing i'm going to do is fire this bad boy up gorgeous laptop by the

23
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,079
way you guys can check out my review of it here um so i'm going to fire it up to

24
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,759
show you guys that it is indeed still working perfectly and even though this

25
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,159
is something that i did promise to return to dell

26
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:05,200
i never said that it wouldn't have been rained on in the meantime so uh you know

27
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:09,360
i figure we might as well uh put it through its paces and

28
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:14,400
see how this baby does now i'm not going to have it turned on in

29
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:19,599
the rain because that would probably kill it but what i'm going to do is i'm

30
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:24,560
going to allow it to go into sleep that's exactly the state that the other

31
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:30,319
laptop was in when it was left out by accident before so if it's in sleep so

32
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:35,360
so we know this because once we got it fired up it actually

33
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,000
worked and resumed exactly where it was

34
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,319
so my battery life is sitting at about 62 percent

35
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:47,280
and we are going to go ahead and do that Windows 8 swipey doop-de-doop sleep

36
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,480
thing sleeps extremely quickly we're going to

37
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:56,239
take it outside and in order to make this as similar to

38
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,239
last time as possible

39
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:02,080
it is sleeping we are going to leave it

40
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,720
on this railing no i think it was on this table

41
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:11,200
on this table right here

42
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,200
so i wish the xps 13 the best

43
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,040
today we find out if the xps 12 survival

44
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:26,000
was a total fluke or if dell computers are made of magic i

45
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,640
suspect it was a fluke but only one way to find out

46
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,400
is it the stupidest thing i've ever done yes really no

47
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:38,080
did you tell dell that you're gonna be doing this

48
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:43,599
no oh my god

49
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,599
this is like i can't even look away

50
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,120
yeah they won't be able to look away either yup

51
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,040
i suspect they won't be too impressed with this particular idea of mine but

52
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:56,720
hey they were all over promoting the last one on social media hey look how

53
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,879
great this video is so surely if you know yeah but that one was an accident

54
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:05,519
that one was an accident maybe you were an accident all right well let's just

55
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:09,920
leave this here we gotta go so i actually meant to rescue this thing

56
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:13,519
right in the morning but uh i was actually out of the office all day so

57
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,519
it's been out there for 24 hours

58
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,440
which actually um i don't know might be an advantage

59
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:25,360
because it kind of dried out out here so let's go ahead and bring this baby

60
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:30,479
inside and have okay well it didn't completely dry out

61
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,120
the bad news for the xps 13

62
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:36,880
is that with the 12 i was able to

63
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,960
you know open it up and start drying it out right away but i actually have an

64
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:44,960
engagement tonight and i am not gonna have time to do that

65
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:50,320
right now so tomorrow not in the morning but after i go to

66
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:54,639
ncix to film there i will come back and uh

67
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,320
take this baby apart i'm gonna leave it here for now though

68
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:04,080
we'll put it like that this is still a bad idea

69
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,160
oh i never thought it was a good idea

70
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,800
so it's been a couple days since i've even touched this thing it's just been

71
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:15,520
sitting there kind of sogging in the meantime but

72
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,880
i've just been busy so this is not what i would normally

73
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:22,639
recommend if something gets wet you want to crack it open and start airing it out

74
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,320
right away here we go

75
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:37,039
all right looking not too bad inside actually oh

76
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:43,199
there's some noticeable discoloration of that screw

77
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,639
bottom panel flap

78
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,639
oh boy it's also a good idea to take pictures

79
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,639
as you go

80
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:56,000
okay batteries out some definite water

81
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,960
seepage down to the housing for it

82
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:03,199
so if i pick at this right here you can see

83
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,400
very bad news oh boy

84
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:13,360
yeah i was a lot more confident that this was a good well i was i never

85
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:17,520
thought it was a good idea but i was a lot more confident that it was less of a

86
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:23,840
terrible idea when i started really tiny stuff in here

87
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:28,160
that is about as disassembled as i think we're gonna get her

88
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,800
on this side let's have a look at that display that i

89
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:36,720
really wish i had done first all right so the ifixit tear down

90
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:42,880
actually has a pretty good look at the adhesive that dell is using

91
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:46,840
for their infinity display glass here

92
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:50,560
without better tools on hand we may just

93
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:52,080
be sol all right i'm defeated for now so

94
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,440
i'm going to reach out to our friends at ifixit

95
00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:00,400
looks like we need some eye openers some

96
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:03,520
kind of prying pics of some sort and i'm just going to tuck this baby

97
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,520
away i mean it's other than the display

98
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:11,360
everything else is opened up and airing out right now

99
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:15,759
boy i sure hope i can put this thing back together

100
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,160
and go get to it later all right so today's moment of truth

101
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:26,319
time let's uh take this baby out of the

102
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,319
air flow later and find out if she works

103
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,919
even breaking the fan that i'm trying to use to heal the laptop that i probably

104
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:40,160
broke so i fix it clarified a very important

105
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,720
distinction between their tear downs and

106
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:48,479
their repair guides for me um i was following an xps 13 tear down

107
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:52,639
which is not necessarily designed to allow you to put all those

108
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:57,440
different things back together so they actually informed me that they

109
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:01,759
don't necessarily have a clear-cut procedure for putting

110
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:07,360
this display the display elements back together if i

111
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:10,160
take them apart which means

112
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:14,560
i'm going to kind of go for gold here and hope

113
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:20,160
that the rain did not penetrate this seam

114
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:23,199
why would i not label these

115
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,120
oh no this is not going to be a good day

116
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:28,319
oh that's interesting yeah it does come down this way

117
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:35,839
okay maybe i could actually look at some of the pictures that i took

118
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,240
oh i get so like sweaty when i work on stuff like

119
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,800
this well oh you know what i'll put the speakers back first

120
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:46,240
mind you at this point we are ready to find out if there's even a point in

121
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,920
putting the speakers and screen the speakers back in because

122
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,360
we are about to find out if this bad boy works

123
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,560
this is it moment of truth time

124
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:09,839
we have a light we have a keyboard backlight

125
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,839
no way

126
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,200
wow

127
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,600
oh okay

128
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:26,320
picks up right where it left off we have

129
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:31,519
done it again folks whether by luck or by skill

130
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:35,440
or by the marvelous engineering of the products that we uh that we decide to do

131
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:41,600
this to uh we have resurrected another wet

132
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:47,360
laptop let's just make sure uh the screen screen works

133
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:48,959
touch screen works um

134
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:54,000
let's go ahead and just like find something we can like yeah multi-touch

135
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:57,440
still works uh we'll do a quick keyboard test

136
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:01,760
make sure that still works touchpad touchpad still works this is a test

137
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:06,959
whoops a test i think we're good to go

138
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:10,160
wow i can't believe this thing is

139
