There’s first time for everything as we learn from this channel, for the last 3-4 years I’ve followed you Alex today is the first day I’ve seen you puzzled with an asus laptop, they are usually a walk over for you but this one was really something, in my area code it’s midnight already but I saw a 25 mins video uploaded and I was like there’s something fishy and I was like I’m not sleeping without knowing what’s really in this video. Amazing work though
mlcc capacitors can have piezoelectric effects they create voltage when being tapped and make sound / vibrate when charging/discharging them with sharp transient voltage spikes
I think the ticking sound is the laptop trying to play the "ROG" sound (who these models make on every boot), but being constantly interrupted by a thermal protection reboot 😉
I bought a stethoscope for mini relays to hear them click, it was worth it.I can find engine and electronic issues. Had to find a relay buried under a dash and it got me there. Also Turn Signal modules click so it helps find them too, or a noisy bearing. Works for anything that makes a sound and you need to locate it.Has an attachable magnet at the end as well for engine noises.
@@don4techy He's not wrong. A switching regulator attempting to turn on especially if it's dumping into a high current load like a short can emit a noise from its inductor as the windings aren't solidly bound together they can flex just enough. Under normal conditions you might even hear a high pitch buzzing or tone.
You are quite an inspiration, Alex. Thank you for all your videos. I suggest you try to use a stethoscope to find a sound source. They are rather cheap, and can be quite useful in my opinion.
you are great skills and expirence to repair that imposible to fix ,, i learn a lot from you ,,how to fix that laptop,,thank you master ,,master of all masters,
Use a piece of tube to locate sounds like a stethoscope. Put one end to your ear and point the other around until the sound is clear, and whatever it is pointing at is where the sound is coming from. Any tube or straw will work.
Cheers !!!! I have still on my Possession the first Asus Strix 17 Scar v1 - 8750h.1070gtx. sometimes need to keep pressed the power button exactly 1 min .After that it's powe on nominally...
I've heard a lot of horror stories about ASUS laptops...the verdict is still out for me as most of the failures appear to be users that are gross slobs, but I have that 3500 dollar one with the dual screens and I am very careful with it just in case. You're a sharp dude and I love your channel. Keep up the great work. Much respect.
4:11 so savage haha I can relate i can specialize in something and be very good at it and the moment I stop I forget 90% so having references helps immensly.
What seems to go first in all the videos is the capacitors and mosfets......likely user error, using the laptop on the bed blocks those fans from pulling in air to cool the board!
Hey Alex, at 6:08 in video, there is a fan connector labeled j5001. would it be possible for you to ordersome thru your store? i cannot find them and need several. thanks.
I started buying mid-range "gamer" laptops four years ago because I needed portability for work, and I also enjoy playing video games. However, now I’m astonished by the number of stupid and annoying issues these kinds of laptops can have. Two years ago, I regretted buying an Alienware laptop, specifically the X17 R1 from 2019.
I have a good solution for when my PC has a problem I can't track down. It's called a Waste Management trash container. I call it my frustration remover.
Since you mentioned Best Buy I'm curious if you get warranty work through them? I know back when I worked there it had to be shipped to a repair facility.
"We keep all items in stock, unless the item is not in stock" LOL
If it's in stock, we have it.
Well, obviously.

Wow 2 separate issues at the same time? That was amazing diagnostics and repairs!

Good thing you didn't miss out on this one.

It's always nice seeing those board repairs
excellent repair Alex. Hi from Uruguay. I forgot to coment about your new house... Congratulations!!! You deserve that and more...
اكثر شئ جميل فيك هو تقديرك واحترامك لخالك وهذا يدل علي حسن الادب
احسن الله لأبيك الذي رباك علي هذا الأدب
Great technique with the thermal detection approach!
It was really a great job my friend and I am so glad to have you long long distance fome overseas in usa!!!
The ghosts from all of the "ninth dimension" components are to blame for that sound, lol!! Great job, my brother!! Take care. Alex!!
23:57 when the big boss said 'Bismillah' I really felt that nearly cried
wallahi
Thank you, Big Boss!
no problem.
That was one of your tougher repairs, well done!

This was a great one, always interesting when it's a weird issue but you still figure it out in the end.
I have a similar issue in my msi gf75. Thank you for all the insights for troubleshooting techniques.
That click sound could be because of an inrush current in the inductor. the winding might make such a sound, Usually bigger ones
Lol how wrong you were......inductor clicking.....are you high?
@@don4techy shut that off. have you ever built a circuit yourself? no. you repair F35, you know everything!

Thank you for sharing the kinds of things you only learn from experience. Its more valuable than months of work on your own.
I love how the multimeter at big boss's bench is attached at the end of the video @24:37
Great job Alex. Love watching you at work.
Long time we didn't see BIG Boss! Greetings Alex and big boss.
Much Respect, and all the love from México, your videos are equal entertaining and educational.

Bonjour à toi merci de voir que les sous-titres soit accessible et merci de tes vidéos
Good job. That was a tough one but you figured it out
thank so much for leaving the model number in the title
Sweet repair and lovely to see Big Boss has a new comfy, all-weathers desk chair too! :)
Great diags work Alex.. as always.. keep up the good work! 👍👍
That's a great practical advice about MOSFET short check
You are genius Alex Big thanks to you and to Big boss
thank you good day !!!
A big boss appearance! Thats awesome. Interesting repair.
Great job
Well done sir! That was fun to watch!
amazing find and fix , good job 👍👍👌👌👏👏 shorted mosfet it self never seen that
I honestly did learn from you kind sir! Thank you!

tub = tube ? ;-)
@@rafflesnh thanks
Nice tip, thanks bud!
ANOTHER BRILLIANT IDENTIFICATION OF THE SHORTS AND BAD GUYS
Congratz Best Buy approves you as the real Geek Squad
Of course its going to work the big boss said Bismilah 💪🏻
Internal Mouse issue, replace the mouse pad Amazing fix
Thank you for sharing another great video.
Thank you for teaching us
Good job mate 👍
Great work. You toughed it out.
First time i saw you in tensed situation.asus have taken your much time than your most of your previous repairs.love from India 🇮🇳.
Great repair
سلمت الايادي ودائما وابدا بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
I'm always super impressed!

عطل غريب برافو حسين ... 23:50 بسم الله 😅
use a stethospe with conical in the middle they make them for auto
What chips are common ? To keep in stock
I understand that spills etc can cause problems but is it the life span of components or over heating being the problem.
A awesome job once again

Great content 👍💪
I’ll be sending my Asus headache to Alex soon.. hopefully when my tax return comes in..
Always gives me hope each time I see Alex work his magic !!
Great job ❤
Great video
Wow your are genius my friend…. I need send you my computer is not charging and not turning on just the led indicator charge is on but still nothing
Amaizing!
Good project ser

You sir are amazing!
God bless you Alex.
Heatsinks might have pins around the heatsinks to make a sensor
Dr.Alex, the clicking sound is the computers pin writing notes about it's status.
Loved how the big boss said bismillah just before turning on the laptop ❤
Great job sir
Nice work 👍
23:55 بسم الله ❤
Thats what I thought some devices will not turn on without fans and/or heat zink. Inverter solders work just like that.
Why didnt you use thermal camera in the first place?
What seems to go first in all the videos is the capacitors and mosfets......likely user error, using the laptop on the bed blocks those fans from pulling in air to cool the board!
What is the easiest way to know if vcore is short?? And also cpu is short?
Lol you search and find your video so true.. thanks again for your truly learning video
Hey Alex, at 6:08 in video, there is a fan connector labeled j5001. would it be possible for you to ordersome thru your store? i cannot find them and need several. thanks.
Could you share some stats about what the most and least frequent laptop brands you get?
Hi, can you share what mic are you using?
Awesome is right!
Nice job!

A stethoscope would be a good tool for this job.
Ok Kim kataguiri
Aha! Something new for the store! A BT audio stethoscope. Nice!
NF stethoscope will be nice
haha sure

great vid,,,,, and to test the ol gray matter............
That's awesome

A length of rubber hose can be effective.
WHEN BIG BOSS SAYS TO BISMILLAH , DEVICES IS WORK PROPERLY.. THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. ALEX..
This was like a good mystery.
Amazing ❤
Better than factory 😵💫
My Alienware area 51m does the same exact thing.... A $3000 laptop is now sitting in a plastic bin because of this same issue
Why not go send it to shop lol
Explain that to the TSA. Very very strange.
. . . Speakers 🔊 sometimes make odd noises during issues . . .
Since you know the common problems on laptops and graphics cards, would you design your own through pcbway for a better product if it's possible.
