It's nice to watch your videos not only as a repairman. Technical problems and their solutions as well as the peculiarities of perception as clients! Thank you very much for sharing your experience
I am from the UK and trust you, if I ever had a laptop I was not able to fix I know where to go straight to you Sorin. The manufacturers need to watch some of your videos they would learn they can remove some capcictors and cut costs even more. 😁
I saw your previous videos on that laptop and you really make it look easy. I repaired one of those with ripped pads recently... had to replace the port because I destroyed the original one myself, it was such a pain in the a**. Really a shame because other than that the laptop is really nice.
Parts actually get tested for years in the most extreme conditions. 30 years back i was at a philips testing facility where they already had bending lcd screens in boxes where humidity was very high or temps very high, etc. Just not whole products. But not sure if they have such a facility in china.
I have the same laptop but not same issue My customer laptop have i broken pads on type c port I fix all broken pads the laptop it's working properly Thanks you sorin for the best traning on the world Good luck bro easy pissa 😂 ❤
Always learn something in these videos. Question: why do you prefer liquid rosin instead of a manufactured flux ?? Genuinely would like to see a video on tnis
One way to make sure the laptop is not comming back due to a unconnected ribbon cable or something like that, is that you should always do quality test. You check sound, camera, USBs (daughterboard), keyboard, touchpad, Wifi. So if one of those is not working, you can always check if you did any mistakes prior to deliver the laptop to the customer.
No check on the underside of the motherboard after soldering the new port to make sure the anchor legs have lots of solder on the backside of the motherboard to hold that port in?
The thing is, he did added alot of solder to the top of the anchor legs, so it does not matter underneath, because those legs are not going anywhere. If the connector is going to break in the future, the issue is not going to be the anchor legs.
cheap stuff with great marketing outsells competition by a lot .. most important thing is that it's all great and shinny for 2-3 months after release to spread good word on it afterwards when reviews are out and they are all great it's not common for people to post how it crapped 6 months to one year after ...
As someone who had to deal with quite a bit of devices from Huawei, I have to say, their products while built decently well, have all these small things that have been designed simply bad, like purposely to fail
i work with vintage radios from the 1930's to 50's and have no problems getting circuit diagrams and parts yet i can't get the same for my phone, tv or laptop
Yeah same here. I fix arcade games, old Space Invaders or Pacman schematics very easy to get. Even full diagnostic technical manual explaining how to check it and find the exact fault at chip level. For this reason never throw away anything old if it works because they are easier to repair. This is why my main laptop I use now is an old Toshiba Tecra A8 from 2009. Runs Windows fine ande evrything works. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Main issue now is the majority of people are not very smart and have no clue how to fix anything and just buy the latest things even if they are junk lol!
I was thinking about these 4 pack battery, they're in 2+2 (3.85v X 2 + 3.85v X 2) total 7.3ah configuration, and they look like regular phone batteries. What I'm wondering about is if one pack is 3.85v 3.65ah. Doesnt phones already have bigger battery capabilities like 5000mha?
In europe they did switch to usb c but theres like 10 different or so usb c configurations. So rrally it doesnt solve the problem. Its like when you get caught stealing you say im sorry. You might get smacked and pretend but then youre back to your old ways in no time.
I had an Audi B7 2006, and last year Audi call me to bring the car because their was an issue eith airbag on all those models, no charge just a recall and fix. Thats how manufacters should behaive cars or everything else
No such thing as perfect. Electronics eventually will fail, but not in a stupid way like this. But honestly, it is our own fault. We want smaller and slimmer devices, hence this is what we get. A flimsy USB C port, which then paired with lead free solder that cracks easily because manufacturers have to comply with RoHS or they can't sell the devices. Anyway, back in the old days when we used to have the entire schematic and the parts to buy, repair techs actually made more money compared to now (with the exception of Northridge Fix 😊)
Hallo friend. I know you like to repair acer nitro 5 gameing laptop. I have that's laptop 12 generator. Display is damaged only and I try to just open display to see how much pn it's 40 pn but laptop not working again can you help me to repair that laptop please.
I understand perfectly this dilemma. But, I recall my fried, travelling in Hungary. He was very sharp and thinking "all are trying to scam me!" type a guy. So, he was buying at train station a ticket to train. and sad many times that "I want a ticket to this train in this date and time!" The ticked office guy noticed straight that this means what he is saying, and sold the tivket. But when entering the train conductor said "no valid ticket, this is old" Ok, then back to counter askin what matters?! "You wanted to buy old yesterdays ticket, so I sold one!" ;-D
your idea of 3 years between the product is nice except intel ,amd , nvidia , qualcomm is releasing new stuff all the time and typical customers are all about the specs (long time since it meant something).. i cringe when people boast about their 200mpx camera on redmi , realme or some other low end brand, but reality is that most people buy that stuff not realising it's worse compared to few year old well made flagship ... my point is LG,Sony, Nokia , Ericson, motorola came up with brilliant phones and look where they ended up ... people want flashy new stuff even if it's worse in comparison it's new ... manufacturers are just selling what is selling and that is product that is cheaper compared with competition and with bigger number on the box ... sad times...
Manufacturers have a development strategy on products they design, they used to design products based on the same internal parts, and the top model board components were present, the base model components were not included, the model looked the same, but the extras aren`t. Schematics are not included so servicing cannot be achived, it would be the same as removing the identification from the components from the board so you didnt know what they were!. Spare parts for products are not produced, it would take up storage space, waiting for the repairer to request a part, but when! Products are made as cheap as possible, a new model is not a new model, it a old products made to look like a new model! fooling the customer who is thinking they are getting an improved product.
if recalling it is something they can't do because of money issues. how about give everyone a free magnetic USBC adapter. that will somehow solve the issue. I have a lenovo that has usbc as charging port. and I have Trust issues on such thing coz it is a laptop.. and a laptop weigh so much compare to a smartphone. you can hold the smartphone from the charging port and it's totally ok. but you can't do that on a laptop. if you happen to bump into that shit while it is charging. it has a higher change of getting broken. because of that I decided to buy myself a magnetic usbc adapter. this way the charging port will never ever experience Stress from anything unexpected.
The problem is that computer makers at least in the Western world, are usually public corporations with shareholders. That is who the corporation is beholding to their shareholders and the bottom line on the quarterly and yearly financial reports. They have to show good profit margins and keep costs under control so that the earnings per share increase each year if possible. In order to sell lots of computers since most people are price conscience the companies go with the lowest bidder to build their computers.
Bullshit. No such thing as original ports. They are the same cheap USB C ports manufactured by some factories in China specialized in manufacturing connectors. Some even also manufacture switches and stuff like that alongside the connectors.
You should be like my car mechanic: "the newer cars get broken more often than older ones, thankfully "
lol
It's nice to watch your videos not only as a repairman. Technical problems and their solutions as well as the peculiarities of perception as clients! Thank you very much for sharing your experience
You did what the customer say. I can't believe. 😂
And repair shop :D
I can't believe 🤣
5:00 it would be a great world. They could also go back to sockets for CPU, GPU, PCH, EC ecc...
I am from the UK and trust you, if I ever had a laptop I was not able to fix I know where to go straight to you Sorin. The manufacturers need to watch some of your videos they would learn they can remove some capcictors and cut costs even more. 😁
If they recalled them all, they would loose some money but they would gain trust from future customers.
would you gain trust on manufacturer that purpously does bad decisions?
#appIe
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you
I'm shocked it doesn't have ripped pads!! 😅
Easy-Peasy I love jobs like this one... Well done :-)
I saw your previous videos on that laptop and you really make it look easy. I repaired one of those with ripped pads recently... had to replace the port because I destroyed the original one myself, it was such a pain in the a**. Really a shame because other than that the laptop is really nice.
Today i just realized that Georg Ohm was a teacher...did you know that Sorin? Much respect sir..
Parts actually get tested for years in the most extreme conditions. 30 years back i was at a philips testing facility where they already had bending lcd screens in boxes where humidity was very high or temps very high, etc. Just not whole products. But not sure if they have such a facility in china.
12:36 proper job as always
I have the same laptop but not same issue
My customer laptop have i broken pads on type c port
I fix all broken pads the laptop it's working properly
Thanks you sorin for the best traning on the world
Good luck bro easy pissa 😂
❤
Hi Sorin
Please which boot cables are you using
that was a proper nice motherboard with proper nice repair...
Good job mate 👏
Always learn something in these videos.
Question: why do you prefer liquid rosin instead of a manufactured flux ?? Genuinely would like to see a video on tnis

Thank you Sorin. Do you have a link for the californinum
Im really big fan with very helpful yt.❤
I'm addicted to "WE HAVE PICTURE"
That’s a proper solder job 😂
SUPER Brawo❤

@@davidlguerr It is just good practice for all ports one solders in, to ensure that the solder flows through to the backside of the board
thank you for the gift
I am new to laptop repair. Could you please tell me what you used to remove the port?
As Steve (Gamers Nexus) said in a recent video: Back in the days "the thing came with the thing to repair the thing." ^^
Isn't high tin solder stronger than low-melt, at least it feels harder when you try and poke it.
what he used is normal solder wire, low melt is below 180 deg and is used for desoldering.
Charger port monster 👹👹

Where is the "check here" in the beginning of the video? 😄😄😄
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No hot glue?

8:47 That Matebook model suffers from damage to the USB C due to the movement made by the user, horrible design
Thanksssss
"it is a nice laptop - press the power button and nothing happens" 🐸
Bird.
Ah, you meant Purrrfect!
Another easy pizza.
Is there a 'skip rant' option on this channel?
I have question Sir. I always saw you repair products from China as Lenovo
👍👍
A proper job for a proper pizza and a half 😂😅
Worldwide consumer law needed im not holding my breath
I had an Audi B7 2006, and last year Audi call me to bring the car because their was an issue eith airbag on all those models, no charge just a recall and fix. Thats how manufacters should behaive cars or everything else
We have picture 🖼️😂
HI SORIN. you want manufactres to make products perfect . but what about all the technician including you??? what you going to do for living 😂😂😂😂
No such thing as perfect. Electronics eventually will fail, but not in a stupid way like this. But honestly, it is our own fault. We want smaller and slimmer devices, hence this is what we get.

Hallo friend.
I know you like to repair acer nitro 5 gameing laptop.
I have that's laptop 12 generator. Display is damaged only and I try to just open display to see how much pn it's 40 pn but laptop not working again can you help me to repair that laptop please.
its a mobile charging port ... they use by samsung and huawei ..
The problem is a lot of the ports now have 2 rows of pins and the pads very often come off the board. Thats an Evil laptop
I understand perfectly this dilemma. But, I recall my fried, travelling in Hungary. He was very sharp and thinking "all are trying to scam me!" type a guy.

100 pcs USB-C ports for $14. 😭 14 cents each 😉 which equals one piece of olive missing on your pizza 🤤
Proper cheapskate 😄😄
When will Sorin eat a pizza on video?
some laptops allow the charging port to move a little bit so this doesn't happen
your idea of 3 years between the product is nice except intel ,amd , nvidia , qualcomm is releasing new stuff all the time and typical customers are all about the specs (long time since it meant something).. i cringe when people boast about their 200mpx camera on redmi , realme or some other low end brand, but reality is that most people buy that stuff not realising it's worse compared to few year old well made flagship ... my point is LG,Sony, Nokia , Ericson, motorola came up with brilliant phones and look where they ended up ... people want flashy new stuff even if it's worse in comparison it's new ... manufacturers are just selling what is selling and that is product that is cheaper compared with competition and with bigger number on the box ... sad times...

The changes you want Sorin will require unmitigated voilent protests from the public. Peaceful picnics dont change a thing.
SALUT
Save the old port for another job.
+ sorin hot glue and it won't come back
if recalling it is something they can't do because of money issues.
how about give everyone a free magnetic USBC adapter.
that will somehow solve the issue.
I have a lenovo that has usbc as charging port.
and I have Trust issues on such thing coz it is a laptop.. and a laptop weigh so much compare to a smartphone.
you can hold the smartphone from the charging port and it's totally ok.
but you can't do that on a laptop.
if you happen to bump into that shit while it is charging. it has a higher change of getting broken.
because of that I decided to buy myself a magnetic usbc adapter.
this way the charging port will never ever experience Stress from anything unexpected.
no improvement for that CP
Oooh but they don't make ALL the money. Hehe
No not perfect. Use high melt solder at last touch up. Ahahahaha

First
Huawei... no thanks
Yeah, let's burn it or put some liquid inside xD
Any way huawei laptops are not diying easily. I think this happen customers didn't Care much
these connectors are 2 euros each and i get an original, don't be dodgy
Bullshit. No such thing as original ports. They are the same cheap USB C ports manufactured by some factories in China specialized in manufacturing connectors. Some even also manufacture switches and stuff like that alongside the connectors.
