    It is amazing how such a small fault can render a complete computer scrap without component level fault diagnostic skills. And this is now also expected to be done without circuit diagrams. Nice job 👍

Cost $1000USD plus repair. This looks to me like a insentive to sell more new Laptops but not a repair. This world will go down the drain with solutions like this. We need more repair shops like NorthridgeFix in this world, keep the good work up. Thanks for all this videos!

    I have the same exact model , and one day suddenly the laptop wasnt power up and no signs from the charging lights either, and after reading some forums about asus laptops not powering up i feared the worse. I mailed asus explaining what happened and their answer was leave the laptop with its charger for more than two hours on , i thought it was a complete bs to be honest , but i didnt had anything to lose before shipping it to their service center , so i plugged it for two hours and it actually worked and the laptop came back to life .

    Honest question: how likely are chips to be damaged by heat during (de)soldering, either with an iron or hot air? Obviously you don't want any more heat than necessary during removal or installation, but I've wondered just how much caution is actually warranted - even when dealing with 30 year-old components.

    • @rizkhan3368
      @rizkhan3368 Рік тому +2

      would not recommend soldering Iron for chips, do it as shown by Alex with a quality hot air blower, professional flux and good quality solder as demonstrated by Alex , the temperatures are what are recommended for use on silicon based chips, I used to do this 20 years ago, would have loved to have a shop like Alex , but do other work now, I think Alex has a video on what temperature to use and how to evenly spread the blower at a safe distance.

    Hi, Excellent stuff!..
    I have been following your Channel for a while now and enjoy watching you carry out repairs, I really like your work, how you explain your though process and demonstrate what to keep an eye on etc, Illustrating the Practicalities of doing such repairs. However, this particular repair caught my attention as it being an Asus ROG branded Laptop, I did catch a glimpse of the Laptop sporting a Ryzen CPU, albeit this being a Laptop repair is similar to my own, which I have just built a new Ryzen 9 7950X3D on top of the ASUS ROG X670E-E Platform..
    So, as you can imagine this video grabbed my attention more so than your others.. I only wish I knew as much about PCB's/Electronics as you do AND have the confidence to attempt a repair of my own, seeing that I have been building systems for 20 odd years and the number of systems which have basically been thrown away *Most probably* would have been a "Simple" repair job (I say Simple, however I understand its far from simple what you do in practice) This video has most definitely made me rethink what is possible/Cost effective when weighing up what my next steps are whenever I next encounter faulty MOBO/GPU/PSU component/devices.. Anyway, Great repair job & Excellent Content.. Cheers!!

    • @faghihimohammad
      @faghihimohammad Рік тому

      When the board has repetitive design, you can desolder and measure one of the capacitors from a similar nearby structure to be on point. You can also use a similar one from donor boards. But , the reality is that in most of the time, one single capacitor exact value does not matter that much, especially in such a big board with hundreds or thousands of elements. It definitely will have some effect, but most of the time, it will not affect the user.

    Very good repair work. I would be interested to know what temperatures you used with the hot air soldering machine for this repair. Best regards from Germany

    I watch your videos all the time and I can notice how you mention the "short injection tool" in each video.. Now.. I'd like to get a response from you regarding this question - how is that "tool" any different from a regular power supply? I don't see the point of using that instead of a lab power supply that literally does the same thing.. I hope you will enlighten me😊
