Yes you're right. That cap looks bad but it's testing good. I ended up changing the Mosfets again this morning along with that bad looking cap. Short was gone like before. I powered on the device and Mosfets went bad again. Laptop is going back to the customer unfixed unfortunately. .
@@NorthridgeFix Hahaha You always foolproof your videos, so i knew you did! That job was too good of a tease. You gave it your best. 👍 As Hristo Stoichkov says - "Sum tie win, sum tie lewn". 😂
@@NorthridgeFix this is VCC_CORE core line where blown resistor and capacitor you got the short. Most likely a rare event happened - cpu itself is shorted. IC is battery charge controller. And mosftest near by IC gives VIN line
Was going mention that cap amazing work as always HP should seriously offer you a consultation job to help them design better labtops you seem to always be fixing these things and would have a great many ways to help them improve this line.
@ARI GOLD EXPERIENCE but it's sad coz I have a laptop with a similar problem that, similarly, led me to a rabbit hole. I think the processor might be shut, in my case :( I had great hopes that this would give me some pointers. Nice video, tho ;)
I think your work is amazing. Some of the process you use today were simply not available when I went through college, and I totally respect the new advantage processes I'm learning. I think your skills are spot on, to the point, and well equipped to get it done the best way possible. If you say it's a no fix, after learning what all you go through here, I more than respect that. It's not time effective.
When I do stuff like this it is real hard to give up, even if it is no longer cost effective to repair... I respect your ability to say "No Fix" and move on.... I need to learn from you on that I think. :)
Sir im a cellphone and computer technician here in the philippines and i wanna thank u for your videos i learned so much about troubleshooting, ive watched all your videos and keep uploading.
high respect to show these repairs ( fix or no fix ). Your expertise has te be paid anyway. After watching your videos, i feel more confident for my own small repair shop. Im often presented challenges. Sometimes im too afraid to even start the repair. But after watching this, even a no fix seems acceptable.
Absolutely love your show, awesome how you show all the steps you go through and find it adorable how you call your dad "Big Boss" xD hope you and he have a good new year
Failures are not less important than success. They concur to improve your job quality and experience. Bravo!!(In Italian it means "I congratulate with you"). Regards from Italy.
È capace di sostituire solo le porte usb, per il resto non è un riparatore ,si ferma davanti s piccoli problemi,come adesso per un banale corto in giro è perduto.
Non ritengo sia proprio così però fermarsi così presto significherebbe dichiarare il 90% delle riparazioni no fix il che non renderebbe certo il suo lavoro remunerativo. Ha buona tecnica però questo si.
Hello Alex, I'm Caleb from Nigeria. I discovered your channel few days ago and ever since, I've been going through the videos on your channel. You've got great technical skills to show off your ability in this field, you're good at what you do, nice work. Needful to note, seeing all the great works here, I didn't hesitate to hit the subscribe button plus smash the like button for each an evey video I cover, seeing the quality of your works, I started smashing that like button just from the beginning of the video . You're good, pls keep doing more of this . I'd like to know where to get circuit schematic for motherboards of different laptops, hope you wouldn't mind telling me ? #I hope you find this comment .
Brilliant video! Very good reminder that although something might be possible to fix, it isnt always economic to spend the time to do so (especially when you dont have a schematic and board view). Thank you!
This guy is just learned everything diy. He doesn't know how to properly proceed with fixing motherboards. It begins with reading the schematics to understand how the device works. It doesn't have a charging issue, he already put a fully charged battery inside from a donor laptop and proceeded to remove the ic that is responsible for charging the laptop. Big time fail.
Hi there , how do you know that on which side of ceramic capacitor must inject the power to find the short ? any side can we inject ?? please explain in your next video . thnx
Don't know what's happening to me I don't usually like a video before watching it but with your videos, I always hit the like from second 1 man! Hahaha! Keep them coming, please!
Great job as always, I'd like to ask, what is the microscope that you are using? I have decent digital microscope but with built in screen, would like to get something decent without screen to connect to bigger4 lcd
Crazy when you see something on camera before he sees it, and it gets looked over several times. Sometimes having a second set of eyes is great! Maybe consider livestream repairs?
So, your meter in diode mode makes a long beep when there is no resistance to ground (a short) and a short beep, when there is no short. In that case the short beep is comming from the charging of the cap?
What type of a soldering wire you are using? And how much temperature of the air do you use for removing the chip whithout damaging the pcb. And the diameter of the nozzle did you use the remove the small components?
Good attempt, you have to draw the line somewhere. I hope that the customer watches this video to understand that you made a genuine attempt to fix the problem.
...because it never indicated that it was shorting? Fractured or not, it was still functional. That's the mindset you HAVE GOT TO follow if you attempted to fix a laptop and didn't have the same model to extract any components from. So let's assume you try to remove that cap anyway because you didn't like the way it looks. Great, now you gotta find out its working voltage and capacitance. With no schematics to go on about and no capacitance measuring device, good luck with that.
bravo for the excelent video... try on the coil that you removed to inject 3 volts 3 amps without the coil on the motherbord. with your thermal camera you will see the short circuit... becareful without the coil and inject the voltage on the side with the short circuit...
If you had the circuit diagrams do you think you would have been able to fix it Just thinking that right to repair would have made a massive difference here
Got a hp envy touch smart 14 inch component blow off. Below the ssd port. My technician doesn't seem to figure the part. The laptop turns on when battery is charged but doesn't charge or lit the power light when the charger is plugged
Would be interesting to see a compilation video of a bunch of your rejected repairs like 30 seconds in you say no fix for this reason, next....and so on. Appreciate you sir. Thank you for sharing your skills knowledge and experience
Got a spectre with a similar taste for smoked flavor, never solved it, burned a fingertip or two since I have no FLIR. The screen was good and the battery wasn't swollen so it's parting time, not all is lost, I'm starting to love the infamous Asus ROG's lone since they are almost always fixable...
Dammit. I have a very similar issue with another Mainboard. 13:20 one of the gates was blown and i swapped it but there were still shorts. Right now i removed the chip labeled BQ24725 but the short is still there :(( i don't have a temperature cam.
I'm quite thankful that my HP laptop still works and performs well except for a minor battery problem that can be resolved; if I have the money to replace it.
Curious why didnt use the spare board instead of doing that work? Love the videos tho, I tinker some with electronics as a hobby, and have learned a lot from you.
Hey there, I have a HP spectre x360 15-df00TX laptop whose battery doesn't charge. It only works when plugged in. Time also resets whenevr I turn on. I have updates all drivers and even BIOS still nothing. I opened and tried another battery and battery wasn't charging.. what seems to be the problem?
hello I have a hp mini 100e laptop, it does not have video, it charges the battery and the usb ports work the shift key does not turn on the fan does not turn on. maybe you can help me, thanks.
omor eh i just dont have strenght to be doing all these, in as much as i enjoyed the video. once the motherboard is bad i cant sit and be wasting my day on it, very clear, i tell the costumer to buy a new motherboard or better still add money and swap for another system. but no cap your work is amazing and those tools you uses i wish i have them. #Greatwork😁👍 🔥
You can't win them all pal .great video love watching . Out of interest when you injected voltage in to that cap .does it matter what side of the cap ?
3 роки тому+3
Great troubleshooting! By the way, where did you got your hot tweezers and what diameter are you using on the hot air nozzel? Thank you for the sharing!
Hi Northridge, just checking if there is any update on your training course... I would be interested in learning from you. Great Video. Cant fix them all.

100% 🙌. Definitely
I appreciate you uploading no fixes, helps us noobs understand the diagnostic route when dealing with tricky boards like this.
It's amazing how fast time flies when fault-finding in electronics.
This is like watching an operating room procedure performed by a skilled surgeon. Thank you for allowing us to see how it is done.
Surgeon: its not fixable. Send back to family 🤣

One of your even more amazing fixes! Your thousands of hours of hard precision work really shone through
Respect brother. I have toiled the internet for years looking for you. It doesn’t get any better.
The whole video I was looking at a cap that was bothering me and looks like it's cracked or something. It drove me nuts.
same
man.. same... i was so annoyed by it.. that capacitor is my nightmare now
When I do stuff like this it is real hard to give up, even if it is no longer cost effective to repair... I respect your ability to say "No Fix" and move on.... I need to learn from you on that I think. :)

Same. But its a difference if you do it for yourself or if you need to get paid for

This Circuit that blow is switching power supply. Google about it, simply 2 mosfets, 1 Coil, capacitors and driver.
This guy is just learned everything diy. He doesn't know how to properly proceed with fixing motherboards. It begins with reading the schematics to understand how the device works. It doesn't have a charging issue, he already put a fully charged battery inside from a donor laptop and proceeded to remove the ic that is responsible for charging the laptop. Big time fail.
Keep doing the good work, fixing and helping customer's to fix their devices.
Must be hard to draw the line on this, so near, but (maybe)so far. This type of repair must haunt you 😂
I love how this guy diagonised bit by bit ,though not to full success ,but it was the best example for a leaner like me
1:57 yellow capacitor in down right looks to me like he exploded
It looks damaged but its working
Last words is very important to me. I ever worked on a board that spent 8 Hs and nothing result. It so wasting my time.
Love from Indonesia
Hi there , how do you know that on which side of ceramic capacitor must inject the power to find the short ? any side can we inject ?? please explain in your next video . thnx

Amazing explanation! I'm from Argentina and while I learn to diagnosis boards I'm practicing my technician English. Thank You a lot!!
Hello, Please tell me at what temperature and what percentage of air you set the soldering station, Thank you!
resisting a rabbit hole is hard for me. I respect that you know when to say "no fix"
10:32 capacitor on bottom of frame does not look healthy?
YES ,This man is not a good technician
The shop I’m building will work just like this.
Love it. Thanks for your experience
How much temperature you need to pickup and then install IC with unleaded solder?
350-380 c

Glad that there are still honest people. Great Channel too.
What if I don’t have any donor board, where I can get the exact capacitor or MOSFET?
20:54 whats wrong with mlcc on right
Can you please let me know what is the Brand, Model of the Thermal Imaging Camera??
Flir
Are you using the new leds ring light? Maybe it's just placebo effect but image looks more clear and bright!
I greatly admire your work. And I am learning alot on your channel. By the way what is the colourless substance you are pouring on the board.
just curious, Why did you not try to trace back to what may have caused the resistor to burn?
I truly appreciate ur work...watch every single detail of ur video ....I m a learner ....n learnt so many things frm u
1:59 bottom right corner capacitor looks literally split in half, skips it, sees tiny hole in resistor 😁
I was screaming at the screen that he completely ignored that part.
So, your meter in diode mode makes a long beep when there is no resistance to ground (a short) and a short beep, when there is no short. In that case the short beep is comming from the charging of the cap?
What type of a soldering wire you are using? And how much temperature of the air do you use for removing the chip whithout damaging the pcb. And the diameter of the nozzle did you use the remove the small components?
i like the no fix videos more because they are the ones that are more educational
Do you have any video how to check mosfet transistor or something like that?
Good attempt, you have to draw the line somewhere. I hope that the customer watches this video to understand that you made a genuine attempt to fix the problem.
I appreciate your honesty, big respect!!
12:41 lower right corner cap is still working?..i wonder why you didnt replace that cap
Why didn't you remove the big red flag -> the capacitor that was fractured?
...because it never indicated that it was shorting? Fractured or not, it was still functional. That's the mindset you HAVE GOT TO follow if you attempted to fix a laptop and didn't have the same model to extract any components from.

This is Outstanding High Quality educational content! Thank you very much.
Is the tool a "shortkiller"? i´m wondering to buy one. I´m using a 5amp power suppy. any advantadge using this?

sir while checking the capacitor which prop should be on the ground black or red ??
If you have a death cap, how can you know the new cap caratteristics to replace the death one? (if you don't have doner board)
by the cap's size and the circuit it was used for if for instance schematic diagram and donor board isn't available
@@golski1273 alle the caps with the same size are the same?
@@giuliocarlini6681 no. they have different values. the size and the circuit will give you a rough idea of the capacitor's value.
only real accurate way without a donor board is to read the value on the schematic.
hallooo. am oty from kenya. just asking your help on getting thermal camera. how much does it cost?
This remind me the nice memories when I use to fix 100 of Honeywell smart meters where I found a lot of short circuit on the PCBs
Curious why didnt use the spare board instead of doing that work? Love the videos tho, I tinker some with electronics as a hobby, and have learned a lot from you.
I'm guessing the donor board is just a similar board not an exact type of board.
