The amount of satisfaction and knowledge i got everytime i am watching repairs especially in this channel cannot be discribed.
I had literally no idea that even batteries get locked and you have software to root/unlock it😂.thanks sorin even though i am not a repair guy but love the new info you give us
I have been able to unlock a few laptop batteries using methods Sorin has taught me. Can't thank him enough for sharing his knowledge!
i have a dell Chromebook 11 its nearly new hardly got much use bit the battery is completely dead not even showing on my chromebook. is it possible to fix it please
Big hugs from your Disciple, at Kerala, India. You are a Savior to us - common man.
Great info and video. Thanks !
Lets make a tshirt with the sorins face saying "We fix it, i cant belive" and anotherone saying "We have picture"
"We fix it, I can't believe" on the front. "We have picture" with Sorin's face on the back. Or maybe vice versa?
'Dodgy mosfet', 'properly calibrated fuse'
"It's loading the Windows"

Good job mate 👍
It's an amazing gadget but hard to justify the expense unless I was doing 4-5 batteries a month, which is highly unlikely.😕
I'm really surprised about the price. A very useful item rendered useless because it's not getting out to the masses. Hope one day it will be improved to include all BMS and be more realistically priced. Waiting for a competitor with good relations with all the BMS manufacturers to save us all
Well the fun thing is that the price of the device when Sorin got it was 179 pounds, today the price is double of that plus you need extra licenses and all.
The price of the unit is something I get but why not make it also that you can buy some amount of resets for a fee like 10 resets in unlimited time.
@@ZakHooiTM You are right, in 2020 the price was 179 pounds and the device had 20% of the analysis functions which are now supported by December 2023. Chip Reset was a dream at that moment, Chip Reset was introduced in 2021. More, two years ago DHL rate was half of the current rate, you can ask them why they doubled the price for the same service. If DHL is not sufficient, just check the price of any gadget in 2020 and compare it with 2023. No one in this world offers 1 second trial, NLBA1 comes with 10 free days of unlimited battery repairs.
@@ZakHooiTM Also I believe it does not cover the newer BQ chips, and the supported BQ chips do not get updated either. Perhaps next year Analyser II, with another subscription model, one that covers the missing chips, so you need two licences ;)
I'd rather pay Sorin £25 than buy this box.
@@ZakHooiTM There is a small amount of free unlocks once the item is purchased without having to renew and re-pay for the license the next year. Sorin mentions it in a vid. If you do less than x amount of unlocks per year then the license renews for free. Personally if i had a newish laptop and the battery locked I would buy that device to unlock it just to f*ck over the manufacturers LOL! If you have to buy a new genuine battery the price is not far off so it is probably better to unlock the genuine battery and have that capability for the future than buy a cheap Chinese knock off battery.
You're great amigo keet it up
That looks like a way for PC manufactures to make you buy expensive replacement batteries. This is just as bad as the chips on ink jet cartridges and not letting you refill or use generics.
Yeah it's another version of the well known ink jet cartridge scam. FYI you can refill some selected carts if you have the correct printer model and turn off the ink level monitor. That's why I still have a Canon MG2560 around. Ink refills cost about 50 cents. If the carts blocks up soak in hot water and do a few full color page prints to fix it. At 5 bucks for a large bottle of ink it doesn't really matter wasting a full page of ink now hehe!
I had this identical issue with my brand new Razer Blade 14 Advanced back in 2022. Could not get it to charge even though the laptop was only a few months old. Great information, thanks for sharing.
what device was this that you used to unlock the batteries?
The best of the best... Find your own way to do it .... Felicitări.
what's the name of the hardware you use in reading and unlocking the battery? thanks
You should wear a wizard's hat Sorin! 😁
SORIN ... why yuu placed a "ferrite" loop on the usb cable?
All the good videos are going to the paid members. Sorin can you upload this later after 6 months or 1 year or always it will be unavailable for us.
Paid members? What? I'm not a paid member and I can see it just fine. Just subscribe and you can see all the vids.
But what to do without the machine? New battery? what a waste. I am sure that's what happened to my ASUS laptop battery, the repair shop told me to buy new battery after charging my $50 Cdn for diagnostic... And I thought they had a machine like yours to reboot my dead battery.
Do you know if a dell power companion Li-ion battery can be recharged?
Im happy .... because ur happy 😄
sir sorin may i know the model of you battery unlocking equipment. i would like acquire if it is available here in the Philippines. thank you so much for all the videos you make. very helpful content.
Nice one , I have one of nlba and I didn't even use it more than 20x for one year before my subscription expired in September 2023.
If they will reduce their subscription and also have prepared plans it will be great
Thanks
Deja vu!
I have acer 8930G (that currently Im using most) which is not charging any battery, but sees them, - no problem. Ordered new one still 0% charging. Same issue with my other acers (yes same 8930G (yes I have alot ot acers with same issue) Charger is new original as should be.
Hi ! I want name box and software test battery same video. Help me. Thanks
My new Asus battery died many times, I fixed it. Using random key combinations, touchpad keys, plugging in many tines. Even the 95% was upside down during charging. The native battery manager driver caused the battery’s fate, after the hibernation is successful, the illegal driver must be removed. Only Asus professionals are allowed to install it. Without hibernation the battery can’t be balanced. When the fan spins up during hibernation, that informs that the batt is currently balancing. It takes 50 discharges to get the best effect.
How can you tell that the battery is good and that it's not a bad battery that has been reset?
Especially when it gets hot
Can you unlock the battery without cutting? External for Lenovo T470
Depends on the fault. If cells are below certain voltage, you probably have to disassemble the battery and charge cells with a power supply ,and then unlock.
@@Alex-mj7km We have an idea to force charging the cells through the NLBA1 device but it is not supported by all the chips. This would be a magic feature.
Of course, that device is a novelty & I do appreciate it's creator! In my country a new compatible battery is priced at eleven pounds & an orginal battery at twenty pounds. No, clients have asked me to repair a battery in my entire career except once by a teenager long ago during the times when laptops are priced as Ferrari's! Here if I say I will repair a battery for five pounds every one will be very suspicious & will certainly say no thinking that it will be a dogy way of swindling! So I will never get it even if he gives it free!
That 20 pound original is "original". I understand, I'd have same problem here where I live, nobody would pay 40€ for repairing old battery (even when it's a completely new, just locked) but at least I never sell 20€ battery as original. That's just wrong.
@@gorjy9610 Here no one wants original but compatible battery & for both they do offer one year replacement warranty. Of all the batteries I have sold, only a couple came back with problems that necessities replacement! So everyone one wants compatible only, but no repairs. They take that suggestions as extremely suspicious! Yes, I am not sure in other countries, but I feel that this device will have miniscule takers!
Hi sir, am chris
I am facing a battery issue with my laptop(leadbook t11) .
It's life spand has drastically reduced. When I use it when connected to the wifi, it goes off after a very short period of time.
No hace falta comprar Nlba1.
Puedes comprar EV2400 cuesta 30€ luego comprar solo licencia NLBA
Ev2400 will work like an nlba ?
@@cimogt7857 Yes, NLBA1 works with EV2300/EV2400 but only for resetting the chips/unlocking the batteries. EV2300/EV2400 is just an USB to SMBus adapter, only NLBA1 can test, analyze, calibrate, check cells, measure IR, measure imbalance, etc. etc. One genuine EV2400 costs almost like NLBA1, that's incredible :))
Why don't hp and other manufacturers create and embede a chip within the motherboard that automatically unlocks the batteries?
Think about this. If they do, who would buy new laptops and batteries?
Also it has a convenient "it is for safety of the user" lie to not get sued for locking people out.
If the battery was new, wouldn't it be under warranty? :-0
This battery repair is part of the same laptop repair that Sorin just repaired HP Envy 17. HP Envy 17 is sold by HP for a few years and this model is still available now but no way to tell when this exact model was bought. In any case it wasn't sent just to repair the battery, that is purely a bonus fix. The laptop was dead for probably many months so the battery discharged and then locked itself due to low voltage. After Sorin fixed the laptop he saw the battery was not charging so then he fixed the battery and published this separate video just for that.
How to unlock if one of the cells has less than 3000 mv.
👌👌👍👍
Im bat,,, im locked ,,, whiii ? ✌
The EU should regulate these kinds of absurd and questionable faults, specially thinking of the sustainable propaganda.
Not absurd, if you know about battery you may find what is wrong and change one cell or all the cell because if you have a bad cell and you unlock your battery the BMS will lock again.
You are aware that lithium battery can take fire so this is security and it is the goal, if you are a professional or experienced amateur then you may unlock it with either arduino EV2300-2400 the product in this video in every case it need some at least """basic""" knowledge of electronic and lithium battery.
Li-ion battery are not dangerous provided that you absolutely know what you are doing.
But the unlock data should be always available and here is where regulation should apply
umm yeah you have to watch the batteries when the laptop is not being used. i have a Toshiba Portege Z30TC i7-6600U from 2016 and it stops charging a few times a year. Every few months I have to remove the main battery to reset the cmos and then it will charge again. If I didn't reset the cmos the battery would eventually go too low and then get locked. The manufacturers know this and design the self-kill mechanism into the battery on purpose to sell more batteries and/or obsolete the product to force people to buy a new one. This dirty little game that the manufacturers are playing should be illegal.
I'm wodering where are the chinese now? Sleeping?
Another shill video fir your Romanian mates over priced battery analyser, losing alot of respect sorin
Please share with me another device doing this kind of job and i promise you i will buy it and review it, thank you
@electronicsrepairschool how many reviews of this one battery analyser have you done now? It's overpriced and so is the subscription. Out of reach of most repair shops and not profitable.
@@electronicsrepairschool The battery analyser is clearly a very good tool. Don't listen to critics Sorin, you are always honest in your appraisals and point out that some devices aren't viable unless (as in this instance) a repair technician has an extensive number of batteries to repair. My respect increases for you with every video you release and not just that, I've experienced the excellent service you provide and so I know first hand. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
@@waynetaylor2784 he specified for a number of times already, that this device is for a shop/technician that has at least a few battery for repair per month. As Sorin said, please provide a cheaper alternative instead of running your mouth.
@@waynetaylor2784 hate won't do you any good. he's not the factory . the price was set from the manufacture.
Greetings my friend ❤
