"My laptop died, then i proceeded to remove the bottom cover and get my cat to claw at the PCB to vent its frustration . My cat use my gaming laptop to play his fishing game. "
A defective mobile phone arrived yesterday. I opened it and it was badly tampered with. I was going to say it was a waste of time and return it, but you said let's get on with our business. I decided to examine it and found the fault just like you. Thank you very much.
I'm really curious how you arrive at what kind of chip it is based on what's written on the chip. Or if you just find a datasheet for the laptop somewhere. Just want to improve my google-fu for this kind of stuff.
I think many gaming laptops have too high a current draw and the laptop is not made powerful enough to handle this. There is too much focus on the thinnest possible laptop instead of the best possible cooling and a powerful enough power supply circuit for the cpu gpu. The two most common failures are ceramic capacitors in first place and power mosfet
I remember how heavy 100-200 watt thinkpads were, now we have 300 watt laptops trying to be so damned thin, same problems with even the 4090, 500+ watts going through some puny little cables.
@@corr2143 It's the same with cars. Small three cylinder engines with a turbo being pushed to their absolute limits as well as meeting emission limits. Crazy! You can't have cake and eat it!
i work in a pcb manufactory and that scratch are from there it happens in the production when some companies care more from quantitie and not quality, for our company is a lot of money they loose when they return the pcbs
Good fault find as ever Alex. That motherboard has scratches all over it, even in the middle of nowhere. Looks to me like an oddball factory handling of the board rather than the customer but who knows.

Make a video repairing the tesla Model S daylight running light SMD, please. it seems there are 1000's of cases of this fault where SMD heats up and blows!
If it is one of the phases in most cases you can try the laptop without it just to see if cpu is survived or not so you dont have to wait for the new drmos to arrive Note: you can try it only with drmos and if it is one of the normal mosfets never do it guys because 20v can directly go to your cpu or gpu! Or you have to desolder all mosfets on 1 phase that was damaged
I really admire your work since years. But it seems more mand more newer tech fails, no matter if on purpose or not. I feel very scared even to spend that much money anymore if the failing-rate jumps up.
Why don't you use the Uni-T UTi260B thermal camera with the macro lens you reviewed some time ago. To me, the visibility of the components on the board is better than with the flir camera. can you elaborate on that? Input from other viewers also welcome!
Thanks for yor great work. Thanks alot for sharing your work and experience. Becaudr of your videos i found out 1 ceramic condensator had gotten broken off the motherboard. Tomorrow i will try to solder it into place... havent soldered for 22 years :) learning from the best tho i prob. Wount be using all the stuff you use :D Asus A 15 Fa506 started to dropping in power even tho it show plugged in... And today tadaa :) missing little item. If the fix doesnt work ill have to check the full mb :-D anyways keep up the good work!
its crazy man, i got me one of the razer laptops for 3k as a gift to myself in the army. same thing happaned that i was using it then it would not turn on. they wanted 2500 to fix it. they said it was a blown fuze. shame how i got like 20 hours of use but could not return it.
'repair' was probably done at some point at the refurb factory, removed the whole mobo, threw it into a mountain pile, they picked that one out of the pile and threw it into the repair and he gets this garbage.
This doesn't work on a Pixelbook that's playing dead here. I can get into the recovery screen and complete recovery successfully. The battery charges and holds a charge, but I still get a blank screen when trying to power up. Any other suggestions?
Check out his voltage injection tool video on the gigabyte 3080 gpu. He gave all instructions and info in the first 5 minutes. I attached the link to his video ua-cam.com/video/kzcg5S8mAOM/v-deo.htmlsi=NRL3I5kGL28Vl245
on start just flexing how good a microscope camera he have (when he shows the whole board and you see everything even small scratches, good microscope bro respect! xD hahah nice video
i ghad once a Razer - i never will buy one again - loud, hot, uselsess ....totally overpriced - ive a gigabyte now, a third of the price same hardware, nice quality 180 Wat Laptop ^^
Razer Blade laptops are overpriced garbage. Just like the R.O.G. series from Asus. I purchased a Razer Blade gaming laptop to replace my Asus R.O.G. that died within 2 years. The Razer Blade died within a week. it was replaced from where I purchased it. The replacement was dead within a month. I got a full refund and built a gaming desktop computer. Still going strong after a year. Side note: I have a regular Asus laptop that is still going strong after many years.
chrischi783 pc desing ? You bought cheap notebook, any GPU in it ? these new intels and Nvidia systems on low power can do the job, what did the user do, overclocked ?
"My laptop died, I then proceeded to remove the bottom cover and drag it across my driveway"

I died lol😂

No one said it is new, it can be refurbished unit

"All items in stock, unless they are not in stock" Got to love this guy! Good work! BTW: If I am not home, I'm gone! 😂
But it's been 4 hours did you get lost?
In case your previous repair on that liquid cooled machine doesn't work out, I noticed the same DRMOS chip you need. (See 01:57 of the previous video)
For anyone curious, the chip in question appears to be an MP86945A from MPS.

that game is called, making it look like you know what you are doing when you don't. Love your videos brother.Better than factory
"do we still have a short circuit? YES! the short is gone"
My brother and I saw the giant rectangle once in S.W. Pa 1992 at 3 A.M. crawling overhead without a sound...it was MASSIVE.
Wow, you make this look way too easy! Great work!
Complement, you are an excellent teacher and enjoyable to watch you all the time I get the chance.
Thank you.

Always a pleasure to watch these videos
Good fault find as ever Alex.

no someone did it
Could be a refurbished or used laptop that the current owner had no idea was open and scratched/repaired before
That look on your face at 8:43.. im da man!!! lol

Thanks dear so much for all your perfect videos
جزاك الله كل خير

Maybe the mother board was changed used. The the shop had it laying between other boards, and scratching it.
Yeah, that is possible option that this laptop was repaired once some time ago
Bet it was a 3rd party that Razer deals with, as part of the RMA. Useless 'repair' mills outsourced elsewhere.
When I read the thumbnail at first, I thought you died when gaming.
I notice no scratch marks near that fuse as well, so the customer never looked there but you did Alex.
So what this means?
@@adil1087 Means the customer was just probing around without really understanding what they were probing.
If it is one of the phases in most cases you can try the laptop without it just to see if cpu is survived or not so you dont have to wait for the new drmos to arrive

The best Itchy & Scratchy channel on yt
I was scrolling through random videos and saw the thumbnail . You didn't die gaming 😂
I really admire your work since years.

It is wonderful video.
I have a question. How much was the volt and amp you inject the circuit to detect the short circuit
Why don't you use the Uni-T UTi260B thermal camera with the macro lens you reviewed some time ago.
To me, the visibility of the components on the board is better than with the flir camera. can you elaborate on that?
Input from other viewers also welcome!
Because he doesn't know where on the board the short was. So he needed a wider angle of view to find it by looking at the entire board.
@@SirMo is this your opinion or did you hear this statement from him?
Based on the thumbnail, I feared this was going to be about you, not the electronics.
I dont recommend external USB brains
people generally dont even use the one they have installed in the head properly
Thanks for yor great work. Thanks alot for sharing your work and experience. Becaudr of your videos i found out 1 ceramic condensator had gotten broken off the motherboard.

working in IT for 15 years now my favorite excuse is "it just turned off" they never do anything...
He may have gotten a refurbished unit that was sold as a new unit.
'repair' was probably done at some point at the refurb factory, removed the whole mobo, threw it into a mountain pile, they picked that one out of the pile and threw it into the repair and he gets this garbage.
Hi , what soldering station and tips you use for this case ?
I think owner try to clean it with brush which may have metal contaminates.😮😮😮
This doesn't work on a Pixelbook that's playing dead here.
I can get into the recovery screen and complete recovery successfully. The battery charges and holds a charge, but I still get a blank screen when trying to power up.
Any other suggestions?
Hi Alex, around that VR Mosfet, what and why are there so many solder balls? is this from Heat?
Will the Officer Alex solve the scratchgate? Let's find out, after the commercials.
" Maybe I need an external USB " Alex, you're a regular Johnny Nemonic! 😄
Hi Alex, can i ask which multimeter are you using?
Maybe customer wrote a secret message on that board😂
Is it possible to do something about these companies using defective parts? This just seems to happen a lot.
those are the scratchmarks of someone who is just measuring left and right having no clue what to look for.
Looks like he was checking for grounds / power maybe ?
Recently found your channel and I like it! Do you use current limit when you inject voltage? If yes, what is the limit you choose?
Check out his voltage injection tool video on the gigabyte 3080 gpu. He gave all instructions and info in the first 5 minutes.
I attached the link to his video
ua-cam.com/video/kzcg5S8mAOM/v-deo.htmlsi=NRL3I5kGL28Vl245
Something loose in there causing a short?
One thing I’ve learned from this channel is to never buy a gaming laptop, especially a razer 😂
"If it's in stock, we have it."
No flux, no glory.
The game is called 'Snakes & Ladders'.
edward scissorhands lives inside this laptop
Its possible the customer bought the laptop as "Used Reconditioned" , and whoever did the previous work was a novice..
Alex, can Big Boss make his own youtube video on how to disassembly and assembly. I found it was killing me when i want to fix my laptop
Thanks for the awesome videos and the jokes are a bonus.. cheers.
Little screw or something could have scratched motherboard while freely moving inside the chassis
no be sensible it was someone who did it no screw can do that like seriously
'Snakes and Ladders' in Engish.
Looking forward to part two unless you forget to post because your Head Drive is full. 😂
on start just flexing how good a microscope camera he have (when he shows the whole board and you see everything even small scratches, good microscope bro respect! xD hahah nice video
Kratzspuren - logisch - hat jemand mit der Messspitze Messungen durchgeführt.
💖💖💖💝👍👍👍💝💖💖💖
speicherung ? Wie snel ?
that guy probing the board for god knows what
"Playing the maze".... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stevie Wonder previously worked on this board. 👌
Yes.. No more ShortCuit!
Looks like a miscalibrated flying probe 😂
whats wrong? its a razer laptop, their mouse barely survives past warranty...
YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!!!!!
"the maze" got me :D haha
The game is called bodge it and scarper
My guess is its a referb and was sent back to Razer and fixed....
Must of thought his laptop was itchy
No shooting game only shorting game
Who died, the owner?
i ghad once a Razer - i never will buy one again - loud, hot, uselsess ....totally overpriced - ive a gigabyte now, a third of the price same hardware, nice quality 180 Wat Laptop ^^
that fuse doesnt do its job
Great Video
Someone did measurements before
Great videos
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
this board have marks from deposit between other things............
Perfect 👌
Amazing 😻🤩❤
Game is called "connect the dots "
"Snakes and ladders" 😂
he clean it with a pensil 😅😅

Shortcuit ☝🏻:b
A good idea to trademark this on Northridge Fix t-shirt 😊
test all :p 2 second to see where :p
Poor customer! Its because of the scratch marks! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Died while gaming 😂
I think the reason why is, laptops are not desing for playing games. If someone playing games for longer times, so used a classic pc desing.
chrischi783

these new intels and Nvidia systems on low power can do the job, what did the user do, overclocked ?
👌👌👍👍
Full brain? Take Your family in a vacation❤❤
thx milord
Dr.bibber😂
What's wrong with it, is that it is a Razer product. 🤣
His mum unplugged it...
I die while gaming non stop. CSGO
