      @Pro5G_ Sorin has earned his income on this one, and people with his skill level don't work for peanuts.

      a multi-meter and soldering iron.

      @Pro5G_ Repairing a motherboard that is this badly damaged is taking a big risk.
      It might last a few more years or only a few months.
      The fact that the owner allowed the fans to be so badly contaminated with dust tells me
      that they just ran it until it overheated.
      Guess what they will do when they get it back!

    And that ACER display at the end was worthy of an AGT golden buzzer and the finale. In a different video I commented that you're a master. But in reality you are nothing short of a grand wizard with that soldering iron and the hot air gun as your wand and staff.
    And you did all that wizardry while talking to your UA-cam audience at the same time.

    Hello, relatively new viewer here. I’m always amazed at how you know your way around the pcb like the back of your own hand. Your knowledge of how to go about checking for proper currents and finding shorts is amazing. You do all these things without any schematic and always happen to have the proper replacement parts just laying around is incredible.
    I can only imagine how many years experience you must have. Bravo, well done! Burnt trash back to a working laptop in less than a hour…how could this be?
    Truly amazing and inspirational !!

    Dear Sorin. After watching many of your educative videos for a few years you dont stop to surprise me. You show me a meteorite impact on a pcb and your words are (we are still ok.. We can fix this..) then starts digging in a board where i would already gave up on ever being able to fix this alien struck board. You show us every time that you will only give up when you actually found the problem. Because now you actually learned something. Iam just a hobbyist but i also always want to figure out wats the cause. Its either that , Or i somehow make magic smoke.

    This was an amazing lesson on board layering and how to remedy when you have multiple layers shorted, a nice angle-grinding technique. These are the types of challenging repairs that I enjoy and learn from the most qualified, watching a pro getting it done is very inspiring and adds to my skillset knowledge. I haven't had many LT's to repair but feel confident after watching so many repair videos. Great stuff Sorin, thank you so much for this lesson !! They can't all be 10 min repairs - that would get old. More fun to have the challenge element involved.
    Better yet, maybe repair other boards such as control boards or a TV or Audio device, just to mix things up a bit. So much to learn ... always learning. 🤓🥱🙂
