Impressive. When I saw the burned out Mos I thought for sure it was damaged beyond repair! Well done!
same lol
@@girlsdrinkfeck makes sense or that wouldn't have been fixable
Hahha it’s an “ Acer, beyond limits “
I'm just curious, what do you think was so wrong with the donor board that it was still a better choice to fix the other one?
@@nickarganbright7218 I couldn't say. But it probably didn't have anything burned like that on it.
Awesome repair man! I am very impressed that you were able to recover from the lifted pad! Though I am a bit surprised you didn't put down a bit of copper tape/foil and some epoxy to make the repair a bit better. Either way, that would have probably made the discovery of the via way harder and I am still really impressed
I subscribed to you 3 years ago (it'll be 3 on June 2nd) and I must say that I love watching these videos! Very enjoyable to see a successful teardown and your dogged determination to solve the problem. Congrats on the success and the 1 million! :)
13:19 I thought the fireworks were because it was about to blow up! I didn't think the repair was going to work and you were having fun and making it up as you went along. Well done!
I also thought it blow up... 😅
Nice, I like to repair such burnt mainboards :) However, I am also rebuilding the tracks.
The separate wire before the first mosfet leads to a diode before the charge controller IC. This is also where the voltage from the battery comes to the charge controller. The charge controller IC then switches the input mosfets through from this voltage.
What is a bit risky is that you now have a 30A MosFet installed where the original one can handle up to 75A. It can lead to another failure later on.
Not only the rating of the MosFet, but also the wire thickness worries me...
@@einfachgaer2 It's just an extra fuse... :)
@@SiETechNotebookReparatur Yeah, maybe it saves the MosFet from fusing again. But the laptop wont be able to run at full load for long... :D
Agree 100% but you need to match the rds on as well, higher rds will cause the mofet to heat more, lower one would be better
I think 30 A is more than enough, since this is the first mosfet of the 19v rail. 19v come from the charger and it can only supply like 9,xx amps I believe.
RDS ON is the most important thing here
These sort of fixes always feel good, not only doing better than a different shop but also doing what many people won't.
Always enjoy your videos! Guess you got to fix laptops since you fixed all the broken game consoles worth fixing 😆.learn alot from you and hope to be your competitor one day😉 I'm sure there's plenty of broken electronics out there for both us
Stunning work Steve, that mosfet to blow like that and meld too the pad is something I’ve ever only seen once before and it blew the whole laptop so too fix it is great work.
maaaan i really enjoy this one! i cheered up when the LED turn on, it was super satisfying.
I'm about to recive a set of tools that i bought with a lot of effort cuz i believe in repair, i always did, i'm from a lil city of Argentina, here aint that easy to buy nothing, so repair is always the answer.
recently i got the ambition to learn and you are a big part of my inspiration.
thank you so much for showing and i hope you have a good one.
Great to hear! Good luck with your repairs!
I've always repaired stuff for years, but only recently started doing videos on it. Glad I'm not the only one who believes in repairing stuff! Great repair video @Tronicsfix.
I hope that you already follow NorthridgeFix 🙌
Thank you for these videos, I bought a "broken ps4" from ebay, when I got it the disc drive was just loud when a disc was in there, cleaned it out and it worked like normal, I watched your old videos to help guide me when taking it apart and putting it together.
Hey there! Amazing job fixing this ACER laptop! Just came to comment your video in order to give you support and letting you know I make part of my living fixing laptop's hinges problems and also I repair broken plastics. I'm from Cuba and here is almost impossible getting parts or replacements so we have to figure out how bring those broken laptops back to life again. My goal is always making my solutions look like they came out like that from the factory and my guarantee for my customers is FOR LIFE. If you would like to know more about this just for curiosity let me know through out answering my comment and let's see if we can get in touch and I can show you a set of photos of my work... you'll be surprised big time! Keep it up and I'll be waiting for new videos from you. Cheers!
Well done, that via was easy to miss and yeah you rarely need an exact replacement for a mostfet, so getting a donor board is unnecessary, however you do want to at least make sure it's the same type (n-channel vs p-channel) and the same pinout then preferably as close to or better voltage/current ratings, also unlikely to be an issue, but worth noting there could be problems using mosfets with different gate voltages or different on/off delays but if it doesn't work just find another and try again.
I love that you are willing to experiment with the electronics and see if you can fix them. I am impressed with your success rate. Keep em coming.
After you said something about a possible explosion and sparks, i somehow wanted to see that, but im actually glad it didnt happen. Really cool repair overall, would have never thought it will work again after seeing the damaged chip.
Seeing that single part burned out did remind me of when the Fan controller burned out on an old laptop. But dang, that piece was seriously fried!!! It's amazing that it was actually able to boot up after that kind of damage and that patch job on that module! You've got an amazing skill fixing boards.
Man that was basically magic, that laptop was dead to the point of no return and you somehow revived It. Truly impressive. 👍👌
Honestly speaking I'm happy as well to see you able to fix something which seems impossible!
agreed!
Dude your soldering skills are perfect no matter how ugly this one was you sure did a 10/10 resurrection of that board. I’ll keep watching this video on repeat
Great job that shows, that even such a brutal mess is repairable.
Well done!
Would be interesting to see the thermals with the new Mosfet & your cooling concept 😄 Nice to see you revived this laptop! Congratulations 🎉
Man, that was a crazy repair! Congrats!
Wow, this was an truly impressive fix man, congrats! There's absolutely no way any repair shop could have do this job.
Wow... that is impressive, as soon as I saw that motherboard peel away, I thought it would be impossible to fix, you clearly know what your doing lol, good job! Will watch more.
AWESOME JOB 💓 I wish to see more “ fun experimental “ things like that 🥰
it's always fun to watch this kind of repair that it looks like almost no way to be fixed, but you fixed it! i hope to see you do more repair on laptop or other computer hardware! 🤘
This is awesome! Lots of work put on it and it was really cool to see it work out in the end. Cheers my guy!
Something else to watch out for. Some of these mosfets have a diode that lets a small amount of current pass in one direction even when switched off and these diodes will sometimes fail while the mosfet itself still functions as a switch. This diode is useful in some circuits like power input protection circuits where you don't want reverse polarity to destroy anything. Some people just bypass the mosfet in those circuits completely and call it a fix or add a diode to across the source and drain that lets power through to the circuit that actually turns the mosfet on. But definitely need to watch for hidden vias.
You are so good at this. My ASUS Rog Strix got fried by power surge and a repair shop told me they can fix it, then they called me and said it's complicated and finally they stopped calling me altogether. I had to call like 4 times to finally get an answer...yeah, we can't fix it. They had it for 6 months! They gave me back my laptop and I found out they didn't put back the HDD so I had to contact them again and tell them they better still have it (they did). That repair shop was an absolute nightmare, never again.
What a madlad. Thats nothing short of amazing work
I had a very bad experience with a nitro 5, the price for the specs was hard to beat but whenever I play games it became a damn volcano probably due to Intel processor, after many tweaking I manage to bring temp to a reasonable level (had to take a hit on FPS on many games) but if I had continue gaming on it as it was out of the box I would certainly had fried something since a normal temp was between 90 to 95 degree delicious whenever I played anything.
Always love seeing the success. We all know the true problem really was the lack of the perfect amount of thermal paste.
man i'm learning so much from you, you have no idea. keep em coming
Nice work! Wow I did not expect you to pull a rabbit out of your hat at the end!! 👏
I really enjoyed that repair! So satisfying as well!!
Incredible work! I would like to know the overall specs of these laptops when you fix them, but still a great video!
Thats a great fix steve,perseverance is certainly your strong suit.
You have great videos. Keep making stuff like this and fixing laptops i love seeing those videos
Man, this one is an awesome fix! i thought it would be a no fix... great job, Steve. 👍
Steve I'm working on my sister's nitro 5. Her daughter bent it in half. Replaced the screen enclosure, screen and cable. Waiting on webcam to arrive from the UK. Also had to replace wifi wires. Naturally giving it a good dusting and going to put the "perfect amount of thermal paste."
job well done. from beg to end make me focus watching i thought it cant be repair when you remove the chips then the last part was so satisfying. kudos!
The first fireworks fx made my heart skip. I thought the motherhood shorted out. 😆 Good job on getting it working!
Nice fix again ! very enjoyable to watch.
Awesome video. For a minute there I thought it was going to turn out like a few others where you fixed it until it broke.
Well! Looks like I’m pulling mine apart now . I’m sure it’s something different, my luck , but what the heck ! Gonna see. Last time I had it apart I was hesitant about taking it completely apart. However , it can’t get any worse ! Thanks for the vid !
Nice, a huge fix at last, been hoping for one for quite some time! Well done and also I commend your patience, I would have been over with it within a couple of minutes! :-)
bro idk how you came up on my feed.. but i truly enjoy your videos. definitely subscribed
This is one of your best repairs. I thought you had no chance on this one.
I'm impressed, I thought it was a lost cause when the mosfet ripped out the copper pad, but you fixed it anyways. I really wish this type of repair was more common place, 95% of that computer was still good.
That's awesome! Good job. These videos are great. I am hoping I will learn a lot watching them.
I like that you didn't give up and was able to finally fix it. That is why I love your videos.
Woooooof. Some major magic smoke release. Great job on that repair!
I really enjoy these Laptop fixing videos.
Awesome job. I have always wanted to be able to do this type of work but regardless I love watching it being done.
love the work you put in it hope you got your money back you deserve it
Nice fix! I thought this was going to be a disappointment video, but you pulled it off!
Yowzers that was a burnt MOSFET! Makes you wonder if it was lightning damage or something. Congrats on the fix! I didn't have the highest hopes after seeing that pad come off.
Wow Steve, who knew a little light coming on would be so satisfying to watch... good job!
Nice job. You have come along way.
What a great video! Good job with the solder job!
Your videos are like the nerdiest detective stories… and I love them!! Thanks!
Congratulations on the fix!!
This is the type of repair 95% of users won't fix. Job well done!
That's awesome let's goooooooo the feeling when you worked soo hard and never gave up on this laptop is awesome great work keep going love your videos and looking back 2 years ago when I first subscribed you gained alot of knowledge which is awesome love the spirit ❤ man keep going
Great job and Video!Love you're New special effects😎
Dunno what pleases me more, the fact the you actually fixed it or that you're trying to add edits to your video to spice things up. Kudos man.
You're awesome. Keep the great work going 💪🏻
Seriously that was best repair I have seen so far wow 👌
Great work my dear I, support you all the time
I didn't think you'd be able to rescue this one. Great job!
Love These laptop Repairs!
Those airhorns @ 2:45 🤣🤣
Well played Mrs. TronicsFix
you really impress me sir, i can learn a lot from u 😀 keep it up!
Wow I really thought this repair wouldn't be possible. You are the master
Do more laptop fix videos. I love it when you succeeded where others have failed.
I like the editing on this video.
Love your videos! Would it have been better to use the 1st LGB to repair the dead one from eBay?
Great work!!!! 👍👍👍
Wow man that Mos was really broke. I have seen quite a few damaged laptops(some mine) and nothing that bad. Good job on repairing it.
Amazing job Steve!👏
I have this exact laptop and wow seeing what’s inside is cool!
I'm impressed that you were able to figure out the wiring for the MOSFET.
Great job, thanks for this video.
Keep going well with your work and I like your videos
Man what a gift, im still using a lenovo thinkpad ive had since 2015 its hanging in there but i need a new laptop bad lol. Youre a beast as always.
Great repair, very impressive - but what were those metal studs behind the monitor panel?
I never doubted your skills.. I knew you could fix it
