It's great the way Sorin talks to the camera. He makes it so personnel, which draws you in and makes you want to listen and learn. This guy has got skills, well done mate
Priest Sorin! oh that was funny... Well, Father Sorin.. this was a very very good video.. I am starting to get it! amazing, at 68 with a poor short term memory problem you are starting to teach me new tricks.. I am so pleased.. thank you so much.. You my friend are really a good teacher..
Sorin, you are a life saver. I can't sleep and I can't work because my son sleeps in the same room I have workshop (hard times), so I watch your old videos to learn something and especially to not get crazy with my insomnia. Just thank you so much, again.
Acea componenta de pe railul de de 19v este o micuță bobină care seamănă cu un condensator dar spre deosebire de condensatori are culoarea gri . Super videorile tale !! Mulțumesc pentru ceea ce faci este un super training in the job pentru mine .
One of your BEST videos. You had trouble and more trouble ! You talked it out and got it working , great job and yes even at 72 yrs old I to still learn , it is called getting experience. Thanks for making the video.... Leo
Hi there , the same capacitor on a Tecra C50-b1271 i honestly don't see any difference between the two models , so after seeing your video i directly checked the faulty cap AND it was shorted so removed it The laptop started one more time THANK YOU THANK YOU we learned a lot from you!!!
same problem, same confusing with an older PRO toshiba laptop with one mosfet in 19v and I did a whole day to find a short! nice video professor Thank you!
Wow, i am actually learning from you. Before I got to the end of this video. I was suspect of the first cap/resistor you removed when you was working and found the missing power up to the burned cap above the fan. Thats crazy, because I dont know that much. Thanks for putting in the work on these videos. You are helping alot of people who are interested in this stuff.
You make the repairs,true and live,with a method of resolution,step y step.Many thanks for your knowledge and shared experience.Fraternal greetings, from Argentina.
Nice job, Sorin. I had the opportunity to fix one of these. It's a bit extrange machine. The input mosfets are located away from the power input, and the traces are not very common. In yours, you almost had a fuse; in the one that I fixed, there were no fuse or anything. It was previously manipulated (I hate it!), and there are no schematics for this model. Finally it worked, but it a was a multiple damaged computer...caps shorted, Mosfets...Congrats!
You were right at the beginning the short circuit is after the first mosfet, the probes didn't make good contact with the pins because that capacitor you were injecting voltage at is in the same track with the first mosfet and current sensor resistor maybe if you haven't taken that inductor out you could've seen that shorted capacitor the problem is that it was far from what you were seeing on the microscope a thermal camera would've been very helpful in this case and i know it's an old video lol thank you for another good lesson
Hello Sorin, i have to disagree with you at the start of the video, i didnt finish the video yet. -Diode mode is meant to measure diodes, actually the multimeter produces a small voltage and then measures how much voltage is lost at the diode like 0,7V, when measuring from ground to plus the small voltage has to travel all the motherboard and you have all voltage lost like you did on your test and when you put your leads together you can see 0V (dropped/lost) exactly like your test. - To check the fuse you could use continuity on the multimeter -to check a short we have to use Ohm test on the multimeter and not diode, they are not the same. thank you for your fantastic videos :)
Alex Xomon you can see louis rossman video on using diode mode...if you dont believe me, you surely can believe rossman, who is more knowledge and popular,..
I stopped doing updates about 7 years ago. What happened was with every update the machine ran a bit slower, and lost another function it had when new. After about 5 updates the machine is dragging, and none of the extra functions it had are available. So I bought another hard drive and with the new machine I saved its state to when new and put in a faster and bigger hard drive. As it slowed down and lost functions after a number of years, I put the original slow hard drive in and was pleasantly surprised how much faster with all the functions still working and copied that to the new drive. The problem is I lost all the information and pictures I needed I had added. So I saved them to a thumb drive next time.
You should do a video on trouble shooting with a bench power supply. I've been repairing electronics for 20 years, but I never learned to use it as a trouble shooting too. only to supply voltage. Great videos, I watch them while repairing UPS Power Supplies for the telecommunications industry. Thanks
To shutdown windows without installing updates. Click on the Desktop, Press Alt+f4 then select (shut down) OR Press Win+L to sign out. At the login screen, click Power icon (bottom right) then choose Shut down. This will save you lots of time!
honestly I learned a lot... thanks to you, without your videos, the things is your a wonderful teacher to all, I was a electronics technician just learning in our school, I felt is useless and turned into ID Interior Designer, cause of your videos with learning, looks like I wanted to be come a Technician again, honestly looks like easy to fixed because of your sharing ideas about Electronics trouble shooting which is I get rid of it... anyways many thanks I hope more videos encounter possible ideas from you.
Si amigo hay configuraciones con un diodo y un mosfet de entrada lurgo la resistencia de sensado y el otro mosfet es de conmutación para alimentación del equipo por bateria. Esa configuración es vieja.
Seems to be a flawed design by Toshiba. Just fixed the same, with exactly the same issue. Your video helped me a lot, thank you. Couldn't see that blowed CAP near heat pipe. Mine blowed very "inteligent", just a small crack, impossible to see without super magnification.
I have a dell studio 1557 the system os running but no display i did alm the steps of troubleshooting i even clean the ic yet i get no display. What do you thing?
That was good. I learnt a lot. I did think that the first short was more black than yellow so thought it maybe a resistor. That is my limited experience so far black for resistor and yellow for Caps. Is that wrong? I replace everything from another board with that theory as I'm not confident with leaving things off. Is there a quick answer for why those Mosfets have four exit pins connected to the same place and don't have separate lines leading away from them?
Hi Sorin, I have laptop shuts off/ power cuts random but within a short time only when AC used. tried different adapters. Do you think can be battery/AC power management circuit. I'm thinking must be electrolytic caps in pmic circuit because its random. On battery only works
First, congratulations for all your videos, I learn very much from them. I have a question: in this video, just before you find the problematic capacitor(20:53 min), you were about to say what you have to do if you can't see what is getting hot with the power supply. Could you tell what do in this situation?
I'm always surprise to see you replacing components with just a bridge of solder. Are you not afraid that it will break things? (They are there for a reason right?) Do you replace them after testing? If so, how do you know the value without schematic?
I've repaired cars for 35 years, and I've ran into electrical nightmares that were connected "bass-ackwards" where it made no sense how the component I was trouble shooting was wired. Even with a schematic, it didn't make sense on certain vehicles, and if you work on many makes and models, it only adds to the complexity and often perplexity of the job. Glad you got it figured out.
i observed like many of these repair videos on youtube ends up same. repairmen almost always discovers a blown up component after spending time on other but highly likely causes through trouble shootings.
First thing with a windows 10 machine ... once its up and running .... go into settings and DELAY UPDATES ... that way you won't suffer an update when you shutdown the computer. Its all in the very last block of options .... where you find windows updates and activation, etc.
@@Vinnie2x in his other videos .. he does refer to isopropyl alcohol .. .when he uses that ... so he notices that difference ... this is probably a refined or better quality petrol ... or lighter fluid probably ... it evaporates a little slowly as compared to what i would expect IPA to
love Mondays 👍😉 Sorin for those repeating questions, would it be a good idea for each new video to be inside a Diagnosis playlist let's say "shorted MBs" etc... I know this could be a hassle, but if possile, you'll just tell views to go and watch that topic playlist ;-) thanks for everything and the clear explanations!!
Great job Sir,you inspire me a lot but I'm a fresher thus it's hard for me to follow up,is there any beginner videos in which a fresher like me can build up from ?
the original fuse was blown ... and was replaced with a more technically advanced fulse ... called wire 😊 the smirk on his face when he does that in all his videos ... is .... well undescribable thank you sir Sorin ... your videos are very very informative ... i am not in the repair business ... and still i watch all of your videos ( i used to deal in computer hardware from 1994 to 1997... )
hi, I insert the power cord tested the adapter which is getting power also the pins in the power connector waited for minute but nothings getting hot. what else to i need to do thank you.
Hello, what liquid you use to detect heating or short component. Thank you, many years under your belt, love your video creating heating blower which you really lived that video:memories for you
Would it not be better to come in with 0.8v on the power supply rather than 19v, in case the 19v power rail is shorted via a lesser voltage rail ( like: CPU vcore )? ...This way there would be less risk of damage?
yeah you totally right i think i just fry memory and CPU at my last attempt lol tough I got to learn it somehow and as far I know what I do wrong I do learn something
actually i find the problem after u pickup the blow up cap, coz i know first one u pick up is a resistor depen of the color n power real..... coz if that is a cap, there is must have negative or minus real, but I can't see minus real..... so i quess that is main power. n after u cut down the resistor ofcoz the first gate is no shot anymore coz the short is not in first gate like u think... btw i like all of ur education..... thks for all the video......
I don't think it would make much sense to put that in the model number. What you mean would be in the article number at most, but I've never seen it in a model number.
hello sir, i need ur analysis on this problem; i've an toshiba sattelite u300 old laptop which as soon as i turn it on, its fan going full blown all the time regardless of cpu usage, its very strange and uncomfortable because of its noise. i updates its bios and problem not fixed, the cpu temp on idle state is around 35 degree, still fan spins fully! there is no RPM in bios and also the SPEEDFAN app in windows dosn't show anything about fan or its RPM (yet it say "found toshiba fan driver" when i run the app). so what could be the reason and how can i solve this. p.s : without windows running and in other environments, the problem persist too. any idea?
Have a same kind of laptop but there's no power passing through after the power adapter on the mother board. What might be the problem do you think? Please help me out.
hi man, i am a fan of your repairs coz it helps me a lot. . . can i ask what is the difference with the multimeter and your power supply multimeter? can you make a video of it? thanks men

this video answers my questions about using the power supply when testing each power rail. thank you so much sir.
Seems to be a flawed design by Toshiba. Just fixed the same, with exactly the same issue. Your video helped me a lot, thank you. Couldn't see that blowed CAP near heat pipe. Mine blowed very "inteligent", just a small crack, impossible to see without super magnification.
something i had fond out ages ago was black = resistor brown = capacitor
Is it possible a cap can burn and be black. Tricking you into thinking it is a resistor?
Capacitor goes black if faulty . may be if u check if it grounds
What was the purpose of the problem resistor, and will it function like before with the bridge.
its just 19 volt power rail, maybe 19 in ->resistor -> 19 out
something wrong when input more than 19 volt
"If this is a PRO,I'm a priest." GOD 😎
Wow this video is so good
I have a dell studio 1557 the system os running but no display i did alm the steps of troubleshooting i even clean the ic yet i get no display. What do you thing?
Reminds me on the LoadPro that is used with a multimeter, mostly used for cars to find shorts. Very similar to find shorts.
you are the best tech on youtube i've learned many things watching you bless up keep up the good work
than you very much sir sorin i always download your videos they are my main reference i really love you man thanks a loooooooooooooooooot
That was good. I learnt a lot. I did think that the first short was more black than yellow so thought it maybe a resistor. That is my limited experience so far black for resistor and yellow for Caps.

Is there a quick answer for why those Mosfets have four exit pins connected to the same place and don't have separate lines leading away from them?
how come the component not shorted when u use zippo or liquid flux and supply the board with volt for testing ???
Great video. What make of scope do you use?
Learned a lot from this video, thank you very much. . . God Bless & keep safe
how about blinking light and only useable if you charge it?
hi i really liked leaned videos and this video is very good what liquid u put in for checking short capacitor ISO PROFILE/Alcohol /petrol ?
do u have any repaires made to a blinking power led on laptops that wont turn on??
what is the difference between a capacitor and a resistor?

Very very interesting video. Learned a lot from it. Thank you.
Hi Sorin, I have laptop shuts off/ power cuts random but within a short time only when AC used. tried different adapters. Do you think can be battery/AC power management circuit. I'm thinking must be electrolytic caps in pmic circuit because its random. On battery only works
Hi Sorin, what is it that you put onto the motherboard and why? I notice that you put that liquid round a chip when you are going to replace it.
hi by petrol you mean gasoline or do you mean bbq fluid. benzină that we put in the car?

you from tunisia you are the best
it was a really good lesson. thank You.
Just shows we cant be right all the time, Thank you Sorin.

What kind (size) wire do you use for a laptop fuse ?
Great, you can repair any faulty laptop, thanks a lot, very informative video, I hope see more.
thank you very good illustration

How do you check for power rails if the laptop just shuts down right after powering it on?
In this case, I think Pro means windows 10 pro. Love your videos.
I don't think it would make much sense to put that in the model number. What you mean would be in the article number at most, but I've never seen it in a model number.

why the first mosfet in short?
Have a same kind of laptop but there's no power passing through after the power adapter on the mother board. What might be the problem do you think?
Please help me out.
hi man, i am a fan of your repairs coz it helps me a lot. . . can i ask what is the difference with the multimeter and your power supply multimeter? can you make a video of it? thanks men
I have this same laptop, when i connect charger white light blink but does not power on.
one question sorin. when u use the Dc supply to check for short, do u use only Volt, or do u also use it with Amp same time?
thank you , which pin you tested in the startup chip for 3.3 v , and is it the same pin if we have another brand
yes, all are different
Please link to supply and multimeter you are using.
From where do you know which capacity u take for replacement without schematic and i didnot see anything on the PCB?
