WEBVTT

00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.879
is it raining finally all right

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:08.639
let's go get the xps 13. what why well

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:13.360
we're gonna soak it why didn't you already soak that one no

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:17.680
that's my xps 12. this is the this is their newer laptop

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:22.480
no it rained last night so

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.199
this is the state of it this water is actually dripping out from

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

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:37.120
if the xps 13 can survive being out in the rain just like its predecessor which

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

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

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.480
i'm not supposed to do stupid things minus what is it that was an accident

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.640
the first time and this time it's also an accident

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:08.159
Corsair's h8i gt and h100i gtx

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:13.280
all-in-one liquid coolers improve both the appearance and cooling of your pc

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.040
click my shoulder to learn more we're going to mix things up a bit

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.119
now technically the xps 13 which i've been carrying

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:26.960
around in my backpack with my xps 12 which survived being left

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:30.560
out in the rain overnight you can check out that video here

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:35.840
now i've been carrying this around in my backpack because i've been waiting all

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:42.799
this time for an opportunity to find out if the xps 13 could also survive a

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:44.560
similar encounter with the elements so

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

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

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:55.759
show you guys that it is indeed still working perfectly and even though this

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.159
is something that i did promise to return to dell

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

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:09.360
i figure we might as well uh put it through its paces and

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:14.400
see how this baby does now i'm not going to have it turned on in

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

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:24.560
going to allow it to go into sleep that's exactly the state that the other

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

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:35.360
so we know this because once we got it fired up it actually

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.000
worked and resumed exactly where it was

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:42.319
so my battery life is sitting at about 62 percent

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

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:50.480
thing sleeps extremely quickly we're going to

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:56.239
take it outside and in order to make this as similar to

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.239
last time as possible

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:02.080
it is sleeping we are going to leave it

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.720
on this railing no i think it was on this table

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:11.200
on this table right here

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:11.200
so i wish the xps 13 the best

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.040
today we find out if the xps 12 survival

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:26.000
was a total fluke or if dell computers are made of magic i

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.640
suspect it was a fluke but only one way to find out

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:34.400
is it the stupidest thing i've ever done yes really no

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:38.080
did you tell dell that you're gonna be doing this

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:43.599
no oh my god

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:43.599
this is like i can't even look away

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:49.120
yeah they won't be able to look away either yup

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.040
i suspect they won't be too impressed with this particular idea of mine but

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:56.720
hey they were all over promoting the last one on social media hey look how

00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:00.879
great this video is so surely if you know yeah but that one was an accident

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:05.519
that one was an accident maybe you were an accident all right well let's just

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:09.920
leave this here we gotta go so i actually meant to rescue this thing

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:13.519
right in the morning but uh i was actually out of the office all day so

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:17.519
it's been out there for 24 hours

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:21.440
which actually um i don't know might be an advantage

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

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:30.479
inside and have okay well it didn't completely dry out

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:33.120
the bad news for the xps 13

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:36.880
is that with the 12 i was able to

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

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:44.960
engagement tonight and i am not gonna have time to do that

00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:50.320
right now so tomorrow not in the morning but after i go to

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:54.639
ncix to film there i will come back and uh

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:58.320
take this baby apart i'm gonna leave it here for now though

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:04.080
we'll put it like that this is still a bad idea

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:06.160
oh i never thought it was a good idea

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

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:15.520
sitting there kind of sogging in the meantime but

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.880
i've just been busy so this is not what i would normally

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:22.639
recommend if something gets wet you want to crack it open and start airing it out

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.320
right away here we go

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:37.039
all right looking not too bad inside actually oh

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:43.199
there's some noticeable discoloration of that screw

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:46.639
bottom panel flap

00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:50.639
oh boy it's also a good idea to take pictures

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.639
as you go

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:56.000
okay batteries out some definite water

00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:00.960
seepage down to the housing for it

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:03.199
so if i pick at this right here you can see

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:10.400
very bad news oh boy

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

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

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:23.840
terrible idea when i started really tiny stuff in here

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:28.160
that is about as disassembled as i think we're gonna get her

00:06:26.080 --> 00:06:32.800
on this side let's have a look at that display that i

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:36.720
really wish i had done first all right so the ifixit tear down

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:42.880
actually has a pretty good look at the adhesive that dell is using

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.840
for their infinity display glass here

00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:50.560
without better tools on hand we may just

00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:52.080
be sol all right i'm defeated for now so

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.440
i'm going to reach out to our friends at ifixit

00:06:53.600 --> 00:07:00.400
looks like we need some eye openers some

00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:03.520
kind of prying pics of some sort and i'm just going to tuck this baby

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.520
away i mean it's other than the display

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:11.360
everything else is opened up and airing out right now

00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:15.759
boy i sure hope i can put this thing back together

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:18.160
and go get to it later all right so today's moment of truth

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:26.319
time let's uh take this baby out of the

00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:26.319
air flow later and find out if she works

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

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:40.160
broke so i fix it clarified a very important

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:42.720
distinction between their tear downs and

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:48.479
their repair guides for me um i was following an xps 13 tear down

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:52.639
which is not necessarily designed to allow you to put all those

00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:57.440
different things back together so they actually informed me that they

00:07:55.440 --> 00:08:01.759
don't necessarily have a clear-cut procedure for putting

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:07.360
this display the display elements back together if i

00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:10.160
take them apart which means

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:14.560
i'm going to kind of go for gold here and hope

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:20.160
that the rain did not penetrate this seam

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:23.199
why would i not label these

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:25.120
oh no this is not going to be a good day

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:28.319
oh that's interesting yeah it does come down this way

00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:35.839
okay maybe i could actually look at some of the pictures that i took

00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:38.240
oh i get so like sweaty when i work on stuff like

00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:42.800
this well oh you know what i'll put the speakers back first

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

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:49.920
putting the speakers and screen the speakers back in because

00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:55.360
we are about to find out if this bad boy works

00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.560
this is it moment of truth time

00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:09.839
we have a light we have a keyboard backlight

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.839
no way

00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:13.200
wow

00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:19.600
oh okay

00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:26.320
picks up right where it left off we have

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:31.519
done it again folks whether by luck or by skill

00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:35.440
or by the marvelous engineering of the products that we uh that we decide to do

00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:41.600
this to uh we have resurrected another wet

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:47.360
laptop let's just make sure uh the screen screen works

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:48.959
touch screen works um

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:54.000
let's go ahead and just like find something we can like yeah multi-touch

00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:57.440
still works uh we'll do a quick keyboard test

00:09:55.120 --> 00:10:01.760
make sure that still works touchpad touchpad still works this is a test

00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:06.959
whoops a test i think we're good to go

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:10.160
wow i can't believe this thing is

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:14.959
