    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…

    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.

    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.

    • @Adamant_IT
      @Adamant_IT  Рік тому +1

      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.

    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?

    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

    @enriquefau8974 Рік тому

    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)

    • @Adamant_IT
      @Adamant_IT  Рік тому

      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.

  • @dimitrismaster
    @dimitrismaster Рік тому

    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..

    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?

    • @Nebby_99
      @Nebby_99 Рік тому +1

      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.

      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.

    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.
