Hi Sorin, thank you for accepting my customers laptop. I didn't use the right amount of thermal paste when I send it to you as with the right amount when removing the cpu cooler it pulls the cpu out of the socket. You are the best! Keep teaching!
Hi, please call the shop, we don't have your phone no, thank you
Another amazing and express positive diagnostic ! Another amazing video … and Another wise decision… @Reboot Technologies to make the choice for the next step … The essential part of the job is done. Thank you so much Sorin 😊
I am still learning and will still learn even after having having seen ALL your videos with a great pleasure becoming a passion … oh yes even for an old 59 years old engineer !
@@electronicsrepairschool give his comment ❤️ so that he alert your reply. Love your videos btw, always the best sorin. 🤙🏼
Can u give me the shop where Sorin works...i have o faulty laptop should reach Sorin...THX
How do bridge electronics
3 videos from Sorin in 1 day!
What a luck!
That is why people send it to you because you are the wizard of sketchy repair. And I really mean it as a compliment who knows how many hands have been through that laptop before it got to you and still you were able to repair it.
grey head, pleasure to watch and listen you, greetings from Zagreb
Thank you, ran into a similar issue with a bad capacitor, removed it and after putting it all back together, I was able to recover my wife's acer gaming laptop!!
Top knotch. i still have a lot of learning to do but videos like this sure speeds things up for me. Ive been watching UA-cam since day 1 (pretty much) and have never commented on a single video. This is my second on Sorin's channel in one day and that should speak incedible respect, gatitude and admiration. I know these things. My dad was a genius in electronics. I grew up with it. lol. Awsome work. I'm hooked.
lucky having an e.e. for a dad.
I have seen many times when Sorin removes components and the computer
still works love it.
Sorin must be vaping high-quality rosin, always one with the electronics he is reparing.
Great job Sorin! Now the supply chain crisis was heating up the last time I saw there were many shutdowns of container ports. Maybe hard to find the genuine chip
tiny packages are sent by planes
When he said thermal camera would help, I laughed...then came to my mind Northridgefix using it..but Mr Sorin is old school,just some alchocol and tooth brush and a years of experience...I'm always looking forward to each of his videos.Makes me happy wanting to be something that is just my wish..I'm surprised this one has full sized desktop CPU..I'm watching now till the end..wish him luck!!
pcpartpicker Don't get me wrong, I love Sorin, but I think he is just too cheap to buy a thermal camera. Time is money in the repair business and also the faster the short is found the less likely serious damage will happen. Sorin has evolved with new technology so I wouldn't say he is totally old school.
Most thing that matters is that with his Experience he get the work done with less Expenses ,thumbs up to Sorin
@@gordthor5351 good thermal camera costs like around 6000 eu..I don't think his boss would want to pay for it.
@@paparazzo80 6000,-€? You can get one for 600,-€ with FLIR Lepton 3.5 sensor (160x120) which is enough for this kind of work :D
Love this channel. Sorin is awesome.
THank Bro..my repair same trouble like your.
Today was the first time I watched your video .There are many lessons to be learned from your videos .Thank you very much
Va urmaresc de circa 2ani, sunteti bun si imi place ce faceti!
Mr Surin- it's like looking at a wizard, doing the best fix with his brain and intrusion instead of fancy schmancy toys. thats the reson I love watching your vid's. keep up the good work!!
well done , this was not easy
Great video Sorin. Thanks again for sharing with all of us!
Thank you very much for the class, master Sorin!
You are doin this for years now - made muuuuch money with it (and UA-cam) - but i didnt bought a thermal cam? wow...hard to beat ;)
I might get myself one of these video carded predators next one I buy. powerful and portable.
Hello Sorin , you should have a look at the UTi260B Infrared Thermal Camera it has Thermal imaging pixels: 256 x 192 and you can get macro lens for better close up , some sellers sell it with lens as gift. costs about 350 euros , most thermal cameras with those specs cost 1000$ maybe more. it will make its money with the time you will save to fix other jobs.
Amazing camera life saver. take 1 min and 1amp to find short
I am low on budget, I only order the uti-120s i hope that's good. Still waiting from China
@@norvinsakiral4450 uti-120s has 120 * 90 infared resolution, its abit low for small components you wont be able to pin point the hot spot easy but you will have a idea where it is and maybe then with some isopropyl you can see exacly. hope it does the job for you
@BOANERGES nice ! but the s60 costs like 500 euro in my country. im looking into getting the uti260b its a great value for the money. Northridgefix reviewed it and has great reviews from people that got it from Aliexpress
@@sakisgri2165 CAT S62 with 160x120 is also high enough to find hot spots, I had to buy a new phone anyways after years; but else I would have looked for cheaper options although this is a reasonable priced phone ;D
On chips those numbers on last line are usually production date
In this case it's 1844 means year 2018 and 44th week of year
And the one on ebay is 1812 means it is produced in 2018 on 12th week.
thanks for the info
Reading part number of chip are really disturbing me .I don't where I can learn how to read them.please could you direct me
With such an expensive, nice laptop, I'm sure the customer isn't going to even flinch on a 12.00 chip. Nice job Sorin!
It will be the $120 labor that's going to hurt 😅
it's not about the £12 chip
This was a long time ago a nice laptop. Nothing w/o a SSD is in the last 10 years. I forgot how HDD sounds already.
I've been watching you for a couple of years and you always say you want a themal camera. Tell Ash you need a thermal camera! :) I have a blackview phone with a thermal imaging for very little money that works great. Use it all the time. At least get a "thingy" to put on your own phone. These things are cheap now and you don't need a ton of pixles to find a hotspot.
One row of numbers or letters are for manufacturing dates and other things that are irrelevant. I could be wrong, but I think you got the right chip.
Sir, I am from India. I always Searching Your Videos & Like it. I hope You are made more New Videos.
When you said “fans” at 30:46 I thought u we’re talking to us! Lol
Hahaha I love Sorin´s reaction when he sees the laptop´s charger
Yeah, that beefy charger will obliterate any component that may create a short.
Toujours impressionnant M Sorin Bravo!!!!
Hello Master Sorin,👍
Thanks Sorin nice find.
Up to part2
I use a cash register thermal paper to determine the heating)
Never heard of that, how does it react?
I just bought an Acer Nitro 5. Unboxed it, plugged it in, and would not come on. Plugged it in 5,6 different times, tried different electrical sockets, Still no power. Called support and they told me to unplug it and hold the start button down for 20 seconds. Still no power. They said I would have to send it in for repair. I was not happy. I decided to goggle it online and...WOW. I found the problem. This problem is happening a lot from what I read online. Even though I plugged and unplugged the cord several times, I failed to actually plug it in right. The receptacle actually has two steps. You push it in like normal, When it stops, You push again and it will snap into place. ACER should inform people of this . It would save a lot of problems. I have owned ACER and others before and never had this problem of plugging the cord in the computer.
Another super video . we learn something new once again . thanks Sorin
Bravo Sorin!
I love repairing desktop computers. I do not have the patience or nimble fingers to repair laptops especially SMD components. Like you said, you could knock off a resistor and never know it
Tough one. Very good job!
As far as I know there are 2 RAM sticks behind the motherboard, and that's actually why the laptop powered on with what looks like no RAM installed!
Love from India 🇮🇳
Love your videos! Thank you!
My laptop has done exactly this and I'm not sure what to do with it 🙁 anyway thanks for the helpful information 😓
SORIN one more screw!
you are the best!
Merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos
You must be very lucky sorin, most of your jobs gets fixed, mine is a different story sometimes i think to quit this job
It's called skill not luck ! 😇
Hihihihi
The chip's actual name is NCP302045 its £9 on ebay shipping from uk
full name is on-semiconductor NCP302045
good job mate.
Thank You for this video
Yes, i have the same one, only the left speaker is already dead.
I agree; having someone prior does reduce the chance of successful repair. Honestly, I hate it when attempted fix fails and you are left to clean up the mess, happened to me more than I care to count.
I think the same way, but right now, after 10+ years, repairing computers it`s just another part of the job for me
36:13 How did a car door get for sale next to a computer chip !?
you are simply the best
This has me thinking. I have an Acer laptop that I use with my 3D printers. Yesterday it's running, fully charged and plugged in. Out of nowhere it begins a shutdown process and once it was off it won't power back on. Zero response. Charge light is good and shows it's charging and power adapter works on another laptop. I'm not looking forward to this.
best teacher
The bottom numbers is the date code. Top is part number
Bottom row is the year and week of production, as other old style chips
There are laptops with dual PSU nowadays, imagine the shock when you see that one :D. This is a regular gaming laptop, nothing extraordinaire :).
One luggage for the laptop, another for the power brick
The chip's price on digikey or mouser is like 2 EUR. Mouser has it in stock.
Sadly mouser is the only one in stock here (only ~460 on the site). I wonder what the shipping would be.
Wouldn't you only get low performance from the GPU missing a phase? It would top out at a lower wattage and so you'd get less FPS in a game, yeah?
Saw immediately you missed a back screw, camera of course seeing a slightly different angle then what you are seeing.
I believe you did a mistake.
Shorted FET transfers current with no resistance.
It does not mean that video chip itself is shorted.
Thanks!
👍👍👍you are simply the best
Love from India🇮🇳 👌
A interesting project a nice one
The same chip from my MSI gf75 thin has blow up i order a new one from Ali express but didn't work, it's a friend who fixing my laptop am gonna share this video with him, before i search about it he told me the second code is for the factory.
break down and get a thermos camera .... it's that simple ... also it simplifies your search .. it just makes sense overall ...
I'm back again very good vids, i'm fixing laptops every day now(which I owe to this channel and Louis Rossman) how do you deal with static? I know we have our own way but what kind of setup do you have?
I love the work my teacher👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi thank you the video
"We have different pricing for gaming laptops". Heh sounds familiar local car shop who has car prices and then Audi prices.
Nice one fantastic job. Can i ask you a question where did you get your power supply from best wishes James
lavolta BPS-305 on ebay.
You are F**** great!, i love your videos!
I replaced my screnn with new screen but my acer predator helios 300 is not showing the power indication nor the fan is working? What can be the issue??
Did u fix it?
I've just seen the video acer 17x did you manage to fix it
Thank you for these videos. 👌 Now that's what we can call a "gaming laptop". What happened with the Helium mining btw, did you make profit on your investments? :) Asking cause I don't follow your other channel.
Is the chip low side or high side Mosfet?I don't think these chips are designed to stand 500 C. That is why is VRM section on motherboard designed with humongous mosfet coolers.But then again I'm not electrical engineer.
Regarding thermal paste I think someone put too much on GPU and enough on CPU,as AMD newer chips don't get that warm (hoping this isnt Ryzen 9 chip).Vega graphics chip mostly fails on many newer laptops that is why it is avoidable..same disaster happened to old Radeon HD chips in laptops as in iMacs.
hope for some help, have similar laptop, no power on, it does not enable alwsp voltages, mainpwon is missing, but what should be the resistance to ground fron pin 104 of sio?
Acer nitro 5 no power. First power mosfet not passing the voltage to gate. What can be the reason. Thank you
This is a integrated driver and mosfet NCP302045
Hey I am new to this can you explain the 3 meters in the top left corner. Having troubles understanding exactly. I think one is multimeter, one is a power injector to check shorts? Thank u
im new here great work
Hey Sorin, and Please don't Take offense. I've learnt a Lot from your Videos and even more from the discord but aren't you afraid of Killing the GPU when you already know to Most likely Deal with a High Side short to GPU Core? The Rail is supposed to run at Maybe 0.8V and iirc you even Put 4Amps at 2.4V Into the GPU. I'd be pretty much interested whether the GPU is confirmed fine after intsallling the latest Drivers and doing some Bench Marks. Greetings from Germany!
Maybe you can find the IC on a irreparable video card or laptop
Hi mr.sorin
Please help me
My laptop hasn't working suddenly and the capslock blinks 3 time slow and 5 times fast
I have been changing the ram and still the same problem what should I do now ?
I would like to see a repair of a laptop that turns on, but has no power to the integrated GPU while has power to the CPU and chipset, and doesn't display anything. Perhaps not an easy repair, might need reballing or changing the CPU (with the iGPU on the same chip) or changing the chipset or replacing the RAM soldered dirrectly onto the motherboard or disabling the soldered RAM.
Wait there were no ram sticks but there was display?
You can overclock the vega 56 gpu to 130w.
TBH, I don't quite understand how removing the COIL helped you identify the bad chip - looking at the datasheet for that chip, the coil sits between the chip and the power rail it generates (GPU power in this case), so removing the coil should've still resulted in a short through the chip when you measured (since it was still on the board at that point)...
MASTER SORIN
Why you have V signe in the DMM in diode mode ?.
I remember a video when you explain why , but i can't find it .
Nice one
How short disappear when removed coil??? Coil is on output,but short is on input 19v
One question, On a gaming board such as that one Sorin, since it has a good heat distribution on the board, can Atomizer work on the shorted/faulty component?? -
I don't understand why did you suspectedbthose chips in the 1st place?
Hello, I have been watching your videos to see if I can learn little bit. Anyways I do have a questions if you can help please. I have 2 laptops they work fine. For 1st laptop it turns on and stays on no issues until I try to move laptop or shake little bit or it gets any kind of vibrations then it goes to sleep mode automatically. For 2nd laptop I have singlet l similar issues as well and 2nd one does not power on most time. Sometimes it boots up right away after I press power button and then some days it would not come on. You'll have to wait few mins to an hour and it will power up after that. If it anyway you can please help me and let me know what's you think is going wrong here? And if I were to fix it then what I need to do.
Thank you
In this case, the dedicated gpu is disabled as there is missing piece in the gpu power rail. The laptop is running and will run with the igpu
Hi Sorin, my laptop just died. It's a Predator Helios 300 (2019) It won't turn on, won't charge, light indicators not lighting up and iAT chip is heating up when battery is connected. What is the possible problem?
My Acer Predator 15 G9-592 is dead according to 5 computer repair shops even though it has power but just dont have any display. 😭😭😭
