    Sorin, i am an electronics engineer, working and designing laptop and desktop motherboards. I know you're not the biggest fan of replacing caps BUT i have to tell you, that the most caps on laptop boards are relevant. The smaller everything gets, the less place do we get to place caps. On desktop boards, we can place big electrolytic caps, but on laptop boards every little place for caps counts to get rid of the ripple from switching DC-DC PSUs. Of course, the system will work for now but things can get really unstable under load or special conditions. So i'd really recommend to really replace them. You can see that they are used when they fail... and not placed for fun. I recommend to buy such a book of caps, so you have every size.

      I watch a lot of the videos produced by Alex at NorthRidgeFix. He never ever removes a shorted cap without replacing it. He even has a capacitor notebook he sells and uses to replace the bad caps. Sorin's work is fine for what he charges, its really inexpensive for his labor for some reason. Ive always been surprised Sorin doesn't use "BoardView" more often. Alex assess the problem and goes straight to "BoardView" to pin-point the problem. He is 10 times faster than Sorin

    When I used to do repairs many years ago, there was always 1 or 2 customers that would try it on with you, so the shop I worked in had the customers fill in a short form with a description of the fault and an agreement/disclaimer at the bottom of it that they had to sign as part of the book in process, 1 copy was given to the customer and another was taped to the case of the machine, that way if parts took time to come in before the job could be finished a few short notes could be written on it before it was put on the rack, as when your dealing with lots of machines every day its easy to forget where you were before you stored it! it was also useful to make sure we had the usernames and passwords -- which of course was my 'pet hate' when they werent provided, great job as always Mr Sorin

    11:33 - I don't understand, customer comes back 2 months later and complains about key not working after hinge fix. Do you have a repair policy? Should include such terms to prevent customers coming back for issues not relating to the original repair, I have these in my repair policies, simply prevents (or makes it too hard) for customers to accuse us of breaking their device after it has been repaired to working condition. The fact a customer accused you of breaking the laptop after they had paid for the repair, took it home and used for it 2 months, should not warrant any free replacement or further repair. Be firm my Sorin, your a business, not a charity, you're too kind.

    Hi Sorin, I remember you used to inject a higher voltage in your first videos (like 3/5v) so that the short would be easier to spot, especially without a thermal camera, but now you keep it quite low, like around 1v..I mean, if a cpu/gpu mosfet is shorted, that chip is already gone anyway, isn’t it? What am I missing?

    • @hackeratore
      @hackeratore Рік тому

      It's not actually always the case, I'm not sure about the logic behind it, but I've fixed a couple of gaming laptops with shorted CPU/GPU mosfets just by replacing them. For this reason, it's crucial to inject a quite low voltage, because if you leave that mosfet there (Ofc you have to, you didn't spot the problematic component yet) and inject some voltage, the IC on that power rail will get hot, in these cases either the CPU or the GPU. It's really a gamble, but worth trying!

    • @mytester6208
      @mytester6208 Рік тому

      battery was fully dead. so current would be very high initially charging faster. when it gets to certain charge level, it will resist the charge current. or think of it like this, when it is empty, potential (V) difference is high. current flows faster as there is not much resistance (V=IxR R down so I is up) like when you inflate a tyre, when empty, it is easier to push air into it, once it is near full, it gets more difficult/slow to push more air, as the pressure (resistance) is gonna try to prevent more air in. same once when the resistance goes up, your current goes down. (adapter V is fixed) so what changes is current/resistance.

      This is a stupid question that bothers me as well so let me join you in asking. currently, i use a piece of brown cardboard that i cut to size and draw the rough features with a marker. when i remove screw, i punch it into the same location on the cardboard. I can store the cardboard and screws dont fall out. I write a make and model on the cardboard so it can be used another time. This is time consuming and it gives me fear that if something goes wrong with the cardboard, i wont be able to know perfect locations for every screw. This is bad dependence. I need more freedom.
      Some laptops have every screw marked on plastic like M2x3, but even then you need to recognize that screw as screws are not marked. One device can have screws that differ by type, thread, thickness and length. Put a long screw in a shallow hole and it will short something.

      Hello from an interested viewer. I had a very similar finding to a similar build as laptop. I managed to trace the fault to a video chip. The internal solder had a partial failure. Only after a full warm up would fail be shown. But I am very curious as to where this unit may have been subject to "over clock" settings? Overclock setting with gaming thruput would perhaps be a causal link to the failure...you see. There could be other cause.
      The owner of such a unit would face a replacement as motherboard just over 330.US. And where a replacement laptop as i5 build would be as double or triple the board replacement. However the thermal limit is a very "hard fault" with a component as "melt down"....with some hazard. First released as 2017 build, there might be advantage to replace the laptop.
      Some parts only laptops are available as ebay. In the past, I have gone to such means as to order several, which provided me with spare parts in plentiful number. Here, this requires the patience to fully disassemble the motherboard and all support cables. And some determined commit to effect repair as self directed workbench job to completion. I like such activity and find repair enjoyable. But I have had failure in such enterprise.
      I humbly suggest. 1. replace motherboard 2. Find a best avenue to replace laptop
      as the best available options. Thermal defeat might cause burning, huge smoke hazard. I would discard that view. M.
