    If number on the MOSFET is ending on 2,4,6,8 then it's a channel N, if is on 1,3,5,7,9 then it's a channel P MOSFET

    that was very hard job, the customer should have said what was done to the board, so you wont confuse yourself and loose precious time... in this repair you needed a lot of tools and knowledge to have it done, without the battery analyzer you probably would have not fixed the laptop, good job master Sorin!

    You should noticed the customers (before starting your repair) that if you find evidence of someone previously worked on the laptop the price of the repair will increase, and more, you have video evidence of that so you should be protected.
    In my case, i would like to know how much time you spend on the repair and be charged acordingly. Nice work 👌

    Yes Sorin you will lose when someone worked on the board before, but after watching so many of your video's I think there is a part in Sorin that likes a challnge and doesn't give up easily and it's pretty obvious this part won in todays video. But don't worry there is still plenty of easy pizza's on the laptop repair menu in the future! This one may have cost you time, but it's still a learning experience. Also maybe a tip and try to prepare some contra battery connectors with wires instead of hooking the battery straight on the reader, might save you from having those weird battery pins not properly connecting faults.

    If i were you I'd ask the customer for more money because it's your right 1st he told you (no one worked on it before) when clearly someone did, and 2nd you fixed the blown up fuse on the battery's board 3rd you've unlocked the battery and lastly you've charged the Bios battery (which no one do such a thing) and MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU'VE SPEND A LOT OF TIME {And Like They Say TIME IS MONEY} IT'S NOT GREED IT'S YOUR RIGHT AND LIKE I SAID IF I WERE YOU I'D HAVE TAKEN MORE MONEY ON THE REPAIR
    By The Way I'm 32 years old and i work with phones but it's not making me that much money and I'm not greedy like my fellow coworkers so I'm learning FROM YOU how to fix laptops too [SO THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR AND GOD BLESS YOU EVERY SECOND] THANKS AGAIN

    Hey boss, great video, amazing skills and yes you should charge more- people will pay for knowledge
    A tip on hownto handle pricing in such situations
    We own a repair shop and we never provide a quoted to the customer prior to final diagnoztics
    Yes- you need to work hard to find out if it's fixable or not but only once we are 90% sure we can fix a motherboard we will contact the customer with pricing
    To begin with- we always give a range foe pricing and explain that price difference is in time and parts we need to replace
    Customers do understand especially when the computer price is expensive- they rather pay 200-600$ then buying a 2000$ laptop or more
    U r too humble, and should start enjoying yiyr skills
    Time is money
    As simple as it sounds
    U can do 10-15 repairs per month and receive laptops from all around the world
    Save the energy on customer that don't like to pay, have more time off and more money per repair
    U deserve much more respect
    Cheers boss
    Love your video

    Great detective work and hopefully you replaced the "properly calibrated battery fuse" with a boring uncalibrated but proper fuse.
    These kind of customer issues are easiest to resolve ahead of time.
    Inform the customer ahead of time that flat rate depends on the condition that it had not been worked on previously and if previous work is discovered the customer will be contacted to decide either the labor rate becomes an hourly charge (with a cap) or the laptop is returned without attempt to repair.
