I decided to repair my old laptop, a HASEE Z6-SL7D1, which had battery life issues but otherwise functional components. My goal was to repurpose it as a server to host a Minecraft server and manage my home network. To enhance its performance, I decided to upgrade its RAM. This process not only allowed me to give a new life to my aging laptop but also provided a cost-effective solution for my home server needs.

​

I documented every step of this repair and repurposing project and created a detailed guide on iFixit. This repair guide provides step-by-step instructions for fixing common issues with various electronic devices, specifically focusing on the HASEE Z6-SL7D1 in this instance. The guide includes detailed images and descriptions to help users safely and effectively perform similar repairs on their own devices.

​

The primary aim of this project is to empower individuals to extend the life of their devices and reduce electronic waste by providing accessible and easy-to-follow repair information. By sharing my experience and knowledge, I hope to inspire others to take on their own repair projects, repurpose old hardware, and contribute to a more sustainable approach to technology use.

This iFixit guide is part of my personal website, where I showcase various projects that reflect my interests and skills in information technology. As a student of Information Technology at York University, I am particularly interested in database systems and data analysis. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have a strong interest in assembling computers and have worked on multiple builds with my partner for our friends. I also enjoy modifying laptops, such as upgrading their RAM or storage, to improve their performance.
