Great job Alex!! I have to mention that newer laptops do need a LOT of time for memory training after battery disconnect!!! I remember a case about an HP laptop that took 1 minute and 20 seconds to post!!! That laptop did 4 power cycles to eventually appear hp logo. You easily can misunderstand the signs and call as a no fix a laptop that is fixed but needs more time.
yes, TUF took a lot of time too
True , i had a probook that need more than 5 mins to "wake up" after reprogram the bios chip....
@@ДимитърАндонов-ъ7е the problem with newer laptops, they don't have cmos battery anymore
Hi, I'm Junnel from the Philippines. I've been waiting for your new videos like its my daily therapy. I've been a fan for 2 years now and I learned so much from your videos specially data recovery. Thank you and I appreciate your time and effort doing this videos. God bless.
I come for the repairs, I stay for the scientists in the comments section. You just know they are going to say something about soldering that capacitor in a different location. You are trolling. Good job, sir.
Having a week without a video from Alex is too long time for me. I was starting to wonder. Good to know everybody is doing well. Greetings to everyone who missing his videos.
Alex, I just want to say thank you for sharing your time, effort and your knowledge with everyone, i really appreciate it. I live 5000+ miles away from you here in England, but thanks to your channel I am able to learn from you. I loved the video where you tell us about New York and the null modem cable. I was involved in the underground pirate scene on the Commodore C64 and Amiga back in the 80's, dialling out to US BBS's via circumventing the phone lines, in order to trade the latest software. Those were exciting times which I truly miss. I wish you all the best in this life my friend, the world needs more people like you
Amen to that from another Brit.
Lee, it's nice to hear from someone else who used to do pre-internet hacking with BBS's. I operated an underground Apple // BBS.
@@harleysofttailtx A way of life mate, sadly missed..
Did it make a difference that the capacitor wasn't soldered in the original position? Originally, the capacitor was to the left and you resoldered it to the right of its original position. Video at time code 4:19 shows the original position of the capacitor.
Yeah I was wondering this too, they're running in series which makes me think that it may not matter as long as they're on the same rail, but that's hard to definitively say without looking at a schematic.
Both positions are parallel, so it doesn't matter
Nice work once again. Good to see you back, no matter what you are repairing.
Great work. Shout out to all the SMD components never recovered from the ninth dimension!
Looks like ASUS is one of the top brands for gaming laptops whrn you get that many broken units. I don't believe that they fail the quickest
For me, Asus always have been the laptop brand to go to unless I find something way better
Low key happy now after seeing all these issues with ASUS TUF laptops and I almost bought one
I have old asus K53T, the graphic chip died couple of years ago and fan also, otherwise the laptop is great for 9 y.o. machine.
Here in Asia (PH) Asus is one of the brands that has a great warranty period , 2 years , if your board stopped working like the in the video they will replace the motherboard for free.. still.. I just bought this specific series with r7 4800h and rtx3050 ..hopefully it will last long enough
@@exiledwolfch I have their 2020 ROG Strix G17 with an Intel core i7 10750H and the GTX 1660 Ti and i've never had any problems so far. I've hsd it since the november of 2020
You soldered capacitor to another slot, does it matter or those slots are in parallel?
I believe, both of the slots connect to the same traces on the board.
I also noticed that and watched that part of the video again.
Waiting for Alex's expert opinion.
@@ДимитърАндонов-ъ7е What's clear for you isnt clear for others, sorry for wasting your day, but I'm not an expert.
It's The same path. Dosen't matter. If you follow the traces you can see it.
No. It doesn't matter if the circuit is complete
Yes they end up in the same place which is why it didn't matter that Alex didn't put it back in the same spot.
اول امر : رمضان مبارك و تقبل الله منكم صيامكم ، و قد علمت انك صائم لهذا لم تستطيع ان تركز مع capacitor ههههههه
Noticed u put the capacitor not when it was, then i realized it was same thing.
Great job like always and it's always pleasure to see you working bro,
ما شاء الله
اليكس مسلم؟
ASUS Should sell a bag of MOSFET with their laptops at this point. 😂
Basically this video has taught me to avoid Asus laptops 😁😁😁
At first I agreed with you. Then I remembered how Razer doesn’t even sell the rubber feet that keep falling off of their laptops due to the heat and weak adhesive. I bet they make it hard to repair their laptops too. So, I changed my mind, because at least they (Asus laptops) are easily repairable (for now?). It sucks that this is the world we currently live in.
@@MischeifMakerz using a 11 year old Toshiba laptop. Still works after all this time. They don't make them like the used to.
@@Alex-ii5pm then again not everyone uses a laptop the same way. Most people that use ASUS are gamers so they run games at very high temperatures for long periods of time, issues are inevitable eventually.
@@Alex-ii5pm Yeah Toshiba is my favorite old school lappy, My daily driver is from 2009 - Ive upgraded its CPU and hard drive to ssd thats it. In 13 years its been powered on/off less than 100 times since its on full time.
@@AlkaVirus other gaming laptop brands exist as well. Asus has the highest failure rate. See my comment & northbridge reply to it.
The best mentor, thank you for everything, best tips, very good at your business! I LOVE your LOVE for the business!
Sometimes a gaming laptop does not have a BIOS battery and needs to reset its BIOS before it powers on when the battery has been removed. That can take a little while.
I like that I asked something in a previous video and I got my answer without even mentioning it.
Great fix ones again and you told that cap a lesson not to mess with you :) but i really love all your fixes even if you upload 100 asus laptop fixes each day i will still watch them. Keep up the great content Alex & Big Boss
You changed the position of the cap.
It doesn't matter. Same line.
@@NorthridgeFix OK, I just mentioned it 😅 great work as always btw
at 5:44 you replace the capacitor but you put it on the right side and not the left side where it was at first. Is there any incovenean doing this or they both behave the same ?
I don’t care what brand device it is, your videos are still fun to watch.
Hooo finaly a video 😅😄
You and Louis Rossman are my favourite people
Welcome back, it's been a while! I missed your videos !
I hope you were doing great during this time.
Alex I enjoy watching your repair!
Better than Hollywood movies😂
Thanks God!…BIG BOSS is SOLID As Well… you are a fantastic technician ALEX and you are a good teacher and very therapeutic..good luck to you and your family.
I need to learn this skill!!
Glad your back. Missed you guys for the last few days.
Very impressed by your surgery capacity. Awesome job!
oh man - i looked at your last vid post (9days) and then i saw this - so excited to see what you fix :) love your work and channel.
The books are a brilliant Idea , I could never think about it.
I'll definitely buy some
once you unplug and plug the battery back in these models ususally turn on on the third attempt due to the main battery also being the cmos battery
Been loving the grinding pen! It’s great for cleaning corroded pens on ICs. The equipment I work on operates in the Gulf Of Mexico. Lots of corrosion.
I think with ASUS laptops failing so commonly it could be good for your channel to get lots of videos up, naturally I bet lots of people search for repair, fault, asus, fix and suchlike :)
My first watch on your channel. Very clear video and easy to understand because of your way of presenting. Love it. Being a minimalist in electronics I have learnt a lot from this one about mosfets. I have a TUF which needs about 10 to 20 presses of the power switch to start. Do you have a video on the power switch? Thanks for your great channel.
Great job man, you could have plugged an hdmi cable to an external display and see if there is any video out.👍
FINALLY CAN SEE THE CONTENT ON THIS CHANNEL AGAIN
If you have one of the later models (I have a ryzen 6000 one) and it doesn't power up, don't immediately assume the worst.
Even though I had set Win 11 to shutdown when I close the lid, it never properly does. So when I didn't use it for a month the laptop refused to boot; even with the powercord plugged in.
Leaving it on the charger for two hours and then holding the power button for 40 seconds it booted (took a long time to boot the first time). It's been working flawlessly since.
So always shhutdown windows before closing the lid and the battery won't drain. Better for the battery too that way.
those binders look fanrastic for those who use them!
The commentary with the treasonous fuse makes these repairs so much fun to watch, makes other UA-camrs boring in their dry imagination-less repairs. Keep up the great work. Any update on the hiring process? I wonder if anyone is close to being hired
The cpu often does Ram training. 2 or 3 on /off works.
Bought a ASUS 15.6" TUF Gaming A15 Series TUF506II two years ago now and recently i am experiencing a problem that it won't turn on if i turn it off and don't use it until nex day. It start sometimes, but mostly not. Now i decided to let it plug to A/C even when not using it because is the only way it will power up next time. Everything else is fine, it plays games without crash and other tasks even if i disconnect the power from A/C.
Always watching your video sir.... I idoliZe your toturial
I don´t know if it matters, but you soldered the runaway capacitor on the other pad.
I was gonna say...curious how that didn't seem to cause a problem but it was definitely put on the right side when it was on the left.
@@greganson3627The pads were in parallel anyway.
wow thank you so much
first i want to say i love when you say ninth dimension i need a tshirt with a 01005 filter with it in the ninth dimension
dont stop making videos please i dont care if they are all asus or ham radios
Welcome back, Alex.
Hellow, Sir. I am from India & Support your Channel.
EVIL Cap. Tries to escape from crime scene. Surely now strung to avenge on another pristine MOSFET...
Thank You for Your videos.
Also best regards to Big Boss.
Seguro se estaba reiniciando la Bios 👍🏻
I need my northridge fix.. last week I watched some older videos.. lol
It's good to see you working on these boards. Have you ever face Ausua gaming lapto no display issues. Please share how to diagnose no display issues
Nice to see the cap has a new home, right next to the old one 😂😂
Glad to see you again !!!
Very good job 👏 👍 👌
great job alex .....big boss had magic touch hahha ....great to see him involved ...maybe a bit camera shy ???????
I've got one of those laptops so now I'm nervous every time I use it.
I think 3 things are going on with the Asus laptops, 1st probably they sells very well, 2nd problematic, or everyone knows you one of the best repair shop , I’ll go with that instead
laptop- doesn't post
me-checks video length
Like you i also have this laptop with a 19v power rail short i think. Where are you doing continuity tests because you dont show it on camera. Thank you.
The escaping capacitor had me in stitches. Just kept peacing right out.
god bless you master and protect you
Love your work thanks for what you do!
Can you make a video, reballing a cpu, only for learning, to see your tecnique
Hey sorry about being a noob I find the content you produce awesome.
I know absolutely nothing about electronics or using tools to diagnose faults.
What is a good starting point to understand electronics repair? A book? Course?
Many Thanks for guidance brother 🙏
What the Flux cap was escaping.
But in end you forgave the capacitor and gave it some hydration. Lol. Good one. I liked the way that was
The video title should be : "The naughty capacitor"
The short is gone ! Work good
so what do you think is best laptop brand alex in gaming category?? Acer dell or lenovo I just don't suggest newer asus laptop now adays for my family because parts are not getting abused before it become not working especially the keyboard and battery even the cheaper hp dies with shorted component
my dell laptop is abused when i was in college but the keyboard only dies after 4 years i think the battery still alive she's 8 years old now hehe i just want to share my laptop experience
Alex, that capacitor was trying to escape Souder-tarry confinement!
Quick question: How do you know what mosfet to replace? I mean both the bad and the new mosfets have different numbers. Does this part came universal or do they have specific values?
That was a 30V N-channel MOSFET, and those are pretty typical to see in laptops. When in doubt, you can look up the part number of the defective one and find a suitable replacement. It helps to understand what the MOSFET is being used for and what it is doing so that you know which parameters are important and which are not.
Forcing a cap to dehydrate and heating it up even more without giving it flux is just cruelty toward capacitors.
The other caps around it were probably screaming and the mosfets just sit there laughing.
what kind of hot tweser you use
Being that these are gaming laptops problem could be with the user. They will over clock laptop to the point they push it to its limits and components fail
I doubt you could do any more damage by overclocking than the laptop already does doing anything intensive. They’re already pushed to the edge of their thermal (and power) envelopes by default.
I never get bored of watching any repairs
Awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍
Why do the power MOSFETs have 8 pins? I looked up a datasheet, but it didn't have a pinout.
good job mate.
I know your bench every well whats that thing next to the multimeter with a blue screen
you had M3966M power mosfet on board and you change it to AON6414A how you know the karakteristik from old and change to correct new one?
Best Alex support from Israel thank you for everything 👏👏
8:56 did the Boss unplug the ram while the laptop was running?
Also I know what you when compasitors fly away it's annoying if you don't have the stock
Awesome job man
What the...such a dirty little capacitor. I would put him in the bin for trying to escape twice in a row and would take a new one for punishment😂 just a joke. Nice work, thank you for the new video. I missed your daily-"therapy" videos. It is so nice to watch your videos after my work, it's a great time to relax. Greets
Awesome Alex,…
What smd capacitors do the A15 motherboards use?
that flying parts happens to me all the time also 😂
Does it matter if cap is in either of two spots below mosfet? The cap flew off the left spot and u insisted it onto right side.
I figure it's the same circuit..
Came here to post that very comment. Agreed both sets of pads are probably the same circuit...
Today, in this episode of another "Asus repair" - "The capacitor failed escape"...
40 Asus laptops and I got a new F15. Losing confidence now.
Good job and ramadhan karim
you solderd the cap in a different position, maybe that's why.
I have an ASUS A15 with a rtx 2060 and ryzen 4000... It locks up with black screen randomly... not heat related..always is fine after power cycle.. but 2 min. To 2 hours it will lock up again... ????
Why hasnt ASUS learned and used better power delivery parts like the mosfets?
What is a good source for a 'book' for MOSFET's? Does such a thing exist?
Great job as usual 👍😀 wish i had 45 Asus laptops to repair haha
"I'm going to teach this capacitor a lesson, no flux for you"
Capacitor "I'm outa here"
Awesome
past 10day no video.. thought you on vacation
