I've been watching your repair videos for years but I'm still amazed by the level of detail when you're explaining troubleshooting and repair steps. It's not only entertaining but also extremely useful.
Damn good work man!🍻
This is probably the best video I’ve seen online where someone explains what they’re looking at, their thought process and how they’re testing & diagnosing the board.
I’m definitely saving this video.
AND
I really need a thermal camera…
And this is basic repairing
next time,
add flux, then take your solder iron and add leaded solder to the connections, then you will not have so much trouble heating them. Non leaded solder takes high heat to melt. Flux alone will not help with non-leaded solder.
I'm always amazed when you pull back from the close up shots and I can see the actual size of the component. It looks like it's so much easier when you're watching it zoomed in on a 55 inch screen. Hats off to you sir!
Always amazing how one tiny, cheap component can trash an entire laptop if someone like you isn't around to fix it.
Excellent as always. Probably a definitive guide to short finding and remediation.
I've been doing micro soldering work for some time now, but I really enjoy your explanation of the logical, methodical short solving. You explain it in a very easy to understand way. Really enjoy your content. Congrats again on 158K subs!
I'm so glad I came upon this channel. You explain things so well even for us noobs. I really appreciate it.
Also, It looks like you don't use a fume extractor for when you're soldering Adam. I care about your welfare.
Excellent! Thank you for your teachings.
great explanation! i always watch your videos whenever i need to understand how all of the components work! keep it up!
You have an excellent way of explaining your thought process. Thanks for these videos
Nicely explained. Good work through of fault finding technique. Enjoyed watching.
👍👏 Excellent job as always explaining the troubleshooting process. We so much appreciate and admire your videos.
Excellent demonstration and explanation. I could follow it easily. Nice acoustic bass guitar
Nice work Sir! It's interesting to watch different tech's approach to finding a short. you clearly have a very solid system and I like it very much! Keep up the fantastic work!
I've been having a bad day and finding this was just the tonic. Thank you.
Excellent fault finding, very well explained how to go about step by step, overall very good video. Thanks Adam.
YES definitely need more videos like this
I always enjoy watching every single second of your videos, what a stunning content!!!
Nice job. Those thermal cams seem indispensable in this line of work 🙂
you are really brilliant i have no words to express your works thank you very much!
Just found your channel, I love the Information you give us. Subscribed!
Nice to see HP finally added a second WiFi antenna to these Pavilion laptops. They've always had appalling range in the past.
I can't believe it, I just realised I've become learned enough to understand the context of that comment and remember the laptops where there was only one! It feels like yesterday when I first stumbled upon this channel looking to service my pc...
@@Leon_George That's good to hear, I'm sure those skills will be useful for you for life. I've always found this channel to be one of the best for learning new things quickly. Graham is just naturally great at teaching to the point that he could confortably charge for it.
Thank you for everything ! I learn a lot with you!
Good lad!... have watched you grow over the years and you have come a long way... well done!
Very good video that should get a million views.
I have to admit, I did not like you 2 years ago but you have grown on me bc you are good at what you do.
Very methodical and you are able to explain your madness.
Excellent explanation. Thank you ❤
Excellent as always you've explained in greater details what you’re looking at, thought process and how you’re testing & diagnosing the board. your FLIR thermal camera worked like a charm btw. nice
Well done sir! Big fan here in the states.
Great fix, very nice explanation
Perfect
Nice fix and explanation it looks good to see the faulty component shines on thermal camera
Great job, well explained!
Excellent step by step guide.
always enjoy your details explanation another one save from the landfill
I love your explanation thanks mate 👍
Its like watchin beautiful butterfly finally spread its wings. 🕊
brilliant repair as always!
you are good teacher to share your knowledge. Master 🙏 thankyou
Very well explained fault finding 👍
Nice tour thanks for sharing 🙂
Nice fix, nice explanations.
Thx! I love my tweezer irons.
Love the video! thanks
Very impressive, you make it look easy!
step down to cpu vcore + bulk capacitance and pull from main power rail explanation was spot on - you can tell when someone knows their shit
Loved this one Graham =)
Great videos always adamint
Great job, Sir
I frickin' love this channel 😎
A very nice one again thnx.
thank you
Absolutely amazing work, definitely the best explanation of your steps through the video. Can't wait for the next.
Can I ask what solder and flux are you using please?
and would you have a link for them?
Thanks again.
Nice job, Graham.
GREAT VIDEO,EXCELLENT TEACHING,DOWN TO EARTH.I WATCH SEVERAL VIDEOS,YOUR IS THE BEST.
WHY DO YOU TEST IN OHM INSTEAD OF DC VOLT. MISS THAT.
Very well explain and a very interesting video. Always after watching yours videos as you explain very well, I think I able to fix board like you but it's wrong.
Thanks a lot for yours videos.
Best regards, Nicolas
Oh if only most boards had this sort of fault :(
Great job 👍chapeau 🎩
I learned a lot, he's good at explaining.
Nice, thanks
Good job 👍
Great video
Hi Graham, I really do enjoy your “can I fix it” videos. To me they are really like a whodunnit.
Could I please ask you to pin a comment of some sort to the top on these?
When a video is opened on a tablet or a phone the dominant text under the video is the top comment - which so very often is a damn spoiler. “I knew it would be the XYZ” or “A shame you couldn’t repair that”. It’s very hard for a viewers eye not to catch that.
After all your effort creating the video it can really spoil the experience.
That’s not a criticism of you it’s the way UA-cam presents.
I wish I could like the video more than one time :D
thanks
Didn't realize you could do this much without a schematic, even though all the individual steps seem totally logical.
Excellent
Hey, I see you play bass. Cool. Me too.
Great video matey. I like that acoustic bass hanging on the wall. Do you play?
Very good video.
Ive just seen at 159k subs well done
Good Job adamant, keep up on newvideo
I've been having some problems with the same exact model laptop it's not reading the charger when it's plugged into the dc port unless the battery is unplugged from the board
It would be good to make a video about the tester, very handy. :)
Nice repair.
Nice interesting , could you please tell me where to get that digital soldering iron ?
I like your new logo
i love how you dont just, "this short circuit, lets not waste more time, voltage injector" and then boom, ohhh, its not working, should give it to the boss... you guys know who am i talking about
I just followed you on Twitch
Nice new intro.
Hey there, this is so damn good I enjoyed every part of the vid. Kindly help. I have an HP elitebook 1030 g4. It works just fine but the usb port don't function. And the thunderbolt ports also don't function. The problem started when I plugged in a generic USB Type-C charger to charge it. The port immediately stopped working and I cannot charge through it. Thankfully the other port charges fine but all the ports (USB type-A, and USB type-Cs) stopped reading usb devices
Amazing, thank you very much. What would it mean if the power jack has a burnt mark in one of its pins that connect to the motherboard? Is it just a matter of getting a new jack? (It's an HP Omen laptop very similar looking to this one)
Maybe. A poor connection will cause the pins to overheat, which leads to more damage. Replacing the DC jack may be all it needs. I'd take measurements to ensure there's no additional problems though.
Very very interesting ! Please could you tell me where to find your probes please ?

@@Adamant_IT Thank you !
Very awesome video, where did you get your knowledge?
Watched a lot of UA-cam repair videos, tried to fix a lot of laptops.
There's not a lot of structured videos for this kind of stuff, I attempted to make some with my Board Repair Basics series a while back, but those videos are more specific to 2009-2012 era MacBooks.
I want to make a new series that's more Windows Laptop oriented, but time is always in shortage.
Just use a chisel or a knife tip on the iron and touch the side of the cap.No more hot air to cause a potential mess..Helps if you also touch the cap pads with some leaded solder first..
Don't know if he wants to use leaded. That iron might not be powerful enough to cleanly solder those caps down vs hot air.
Hi I enjoy you u tube channel and I have learned a lot from watching. Is the same approach when checking the power jack and a USB-C input on a laptop??? Thanks Dan M.
Get rid of that storage heater in the backgound.
How do you know the specs of the capacitors
Graham totally off topic: I recently swopped a circuit board from a matching HDD, this was the first time I ever did this. Then thing I want to mention is I was surprised and the amount of those capacitors, as you know they are very tiny, I was wondering are they worth keeping for anytime you do a repair? I could imagine one day you would be ordering some coz you haven't got any and there is a pile of them on thar board. If I'm off the mark just ignore, it was just a thought.
It's not expensive to just have stock of common capacitors. Donor boards are great because they have a big variety of stuff on them, but there's only a handful of common capacitor values that you'll regularly need.
Awsome😊
I do miss your previous theam music 😂
Graham, sorry another off topic question: Regaeding graphics cards, the opposite side of the fan you see the underside of the board, is it possibel if something conductive fell on it could it short out the board becuase all I see is lots of the underside of soldered items? I was wondering do you think there should be some kind of covering so that can't happen, or am I over thinking?
Hi Adam, if the FLIR camera isn't the one you'd recommend, which one would you?
Probably been asked before but have you thought of using hot tweezers, seen them used in another repair channel .
Or use 2 soldering irons?
I'm working with the same laptop now
has power but not turning on
:D
check voltage at power button
what will have blown the caps on the board though Graham
Could you please tell me what is your microscope? Thank you in advance.
I believe he use a Logitech brio 4K webcam for the close up shots
It's never the CPU, until it is. Most of time it's the smallest bloody thorn in my side.
What's the spec and link of the new microscope.
@Dimitri Stamatakis: (7:56 - 7:58) Graham quickly withdrew the instrument arm. I only managed to look a little at the model number WC-209 or MC-209 but my search takes me to Amazon and it seems that it is a type of camera. I, too, was impressed by the quality of that microscope. Greetings.
Same question 🤔
And what could be the root cause for such failures? It's simply the cap itself? Some pre-determined-faulty products? Or some external event which made it crack? Or after such a replacement very rarely goes it faulty again after a time?
He said it was likely heat fatigue, causing the cap to fail over time. Not sure if it's possible to replace with larger caps (of the same uF rating) to dissipate heat better, if they fit on the pads. His replacement ones looked slightly larger but I'm not sure.
@@Nebby_99 Thanks!
Think I have asked this before, but what sort of charge is there for a job like this - also not seen to the end so no idea if it worked :) But a cost in general if it did work
I charge about £100 for board repair depending on the laptop. The balance is that this is high-skill work that should be expensive and pay me a lot, but charge too much and it's easier to just replace the mobo, which any beginner tech can do.
@@Adamant_IT Seems reasonable to save a £3/4 00 laptop ... anything of less value and, as you say, diminishing returns
