Well done...you do your part to help environment by fixing things and maybe there will be less landfill waste if we don't buy everything new! A hug from Italy!
Hi Sorin thanks for share your videos.. here in Italy the quarantine is soo boring.. see your videos make me happy.. you teach us many tricks about fix notebooks or always things about electronics but but in the meantime you talk about all things that happen in England and around the world.. here in Italy the situation is really serious, almost 15 days ago I only saw these things in China now I am seeing them here .. and I see the other Nations that are making the same mistake that we have made .. underestimating COVID-19
I bought a quart of alcohol to make flux with rosin, but now I'm using the alcohol to disinfect. There is no more in the stores, now, so thanks to YOU I got some early.
Awesome video Sorin! Thanks for sharing the lessons. You're the best, lots of tricks n tips. I enjoy watching your videos. That lighter fluid trick is very neat! You stay healthy n safe Sorin.
Thanks for one more nice video! Just one question to ask... You removed a shorted cap from there and you didn't replace it with a new same value. How are you sure the circuit still don't have a problem that caused that failure and how do you know that the specific circuit will work e.g wifi card?
Just imagine if all the effort to harm eachother turned into effort to progress us as a complete unit. You know, like we're all in this together maybe....
Greetings from east coast USA. Listening to your videos while I look through my microscope is somehow relaxing. Thanks for your expertise. Stay safe my brother!
Thanks for sharing such great knowledge! My Hp 15-ba017AU randomly died few days ago. Now no power or led light, repair shop doesn’t know whats wrong and I’ve just paid them for nothing! Opening it now and watching yo vids for guidance
One that even got you thank you for showing us teacher Sorin! P.S. YOU STILL DON'T HAVE YOUR THERMAL CAMERA you been saying your going to get one for a long time.....
Man im trying to help you, same way you help others to fix computers. Be aware. This is not just old people desease. We have young people in icu (35 year, 27 year etc). (Physician from Italy)
Hi Sorin, hope you are doing great................................................please what can cause a samsung tab not to connect to a wifi and keep on turning off. Try factor re- set did work.
Hey Sorin. Guess it's quiet with no repairs now. May I suggest you dust off some of your too difficult too repair motherboards and do a review video explaining what you checked and why you stopped short of fixing them. You never know, you may fix 1or2.
I just got the same laptop same problem right now to repair. It's my niece property and she need it for her school, so I volunteer to trying to repair it. Some capacitors doesn't have the voltage that supposed to be ... I dunno if it's only that or there somethings else.... I've tried the IPA spreading method and there's no place who is hot Just hope that I'll be able to repair it ...
Good day Mr. Sorin. Please what's the make and the name of your microscope and how can I get one that's affordable? I stumbled on your videos about 3 weeks ago and they've been of tremendous help to me.
The thermal camera is just a tool helping us to find a component getting hot quickly but it is not mondatory because we can working properly withouth it thanks
Have some questions. 1. The Super IO and power management chip are not the same chip? 2. If power management chip controls mosfets for power suply, does the same chip starts that power supply or SuperIO does it?
me too, maybe someone knows. it cant be enough cooled by only the airflow along the heat pipe, or i must be wrong. When there is a egpu installed it will be even dissipating more heat.
Maybe at the bottom cover there is a kind of plastic wind tunnel that leads the air from the fan to the heat pipe construction and then to the outside with a 90 degrees turn. That would actually be very nice system, but it is a Shame they didn't put more fins at the heat pipe to cool it better the way I described. I'm actually beginning to like this system except for the missing fins.
When you look at the board you see there is a kind of line leading from the top of the fan along the heat pipe and than a turn . only at the bottom that line is missing so it is possibly still not a 'closed system' what is less efficient I think.
laptopmedia.com/highlights/inside-asus-vivobook-15-f512-x512-disassembly-and-upgrade-options/ Cooling solution. In the cooling segment, we saw the actual innovation, if we may say. The laptop now has something like a heat spreader, that is placed (wait for it) on the place where the GPU would sit, should the laptop have one. In addition to that, there is a heat pipe that connects it to the CPU and a fan that blows towards it. Interestingly, the bottom panel is designed in such a way that it channels the air towards the heat spreader.
teacher i am the latest to advise you but you could sticke some capton tape on the chip and position it faster on the motherboard the solder few legs and then continue as you do
@@nikkam3176 My wife works in healthcare and I know very well how poorly they are paid, and there are so many responsibilities and scientists are at the same level.
@@mizoo87 Im physician. there wont be a big difference if i earn 2000 or 4000, i will work the same way. But it is true, i get payed like a worker in a factory. the main problem i think is the fact they treat you like a slave. if you work good they give you to follow 1000 patients, if you work verry good they will give you 1500 patients. They try to get from you the maximun, so they do not pay for another physician. But what happens if the overall patients dubbles. you cant follow 3000 patients. thats how it work, less flexibility. they do not want to form more doctors, but use the same they have and make them work harder.
Old reply, but im pretty sure its igpu (vega). I wonder tho as the motherboard is clearly designed for a dgpu as it also has vram spots if one could solder some vram and a chip there + some small bios mods would they be able to get it working?

HI, PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME: STARTUP CHIP (ITE...) WAS REPLACED. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT NEEDS PROGRAMMING OR NOT? IF THERE IS A "WINBOND" CHIP NEAR TO THE STARTUP CHIP, IT MEANS THAT IT DOES NOT NEED PROGRAMMING AND YOU CAN JUST ORDER AND REPLACE IT IN THE BOARD?
Me asking the same. But I'd suggest to search for SIO/Superio programmer and see if your SIO is on a list of supported SIOs. If yes, then it needs programming - at least I understand it that way. Some DELL desktops have 2 flash memories - one for BIOS/UEFI, another is EC ROM.
Can I charge my lenovo yoga battery (labtop is not charging because of battery firmware issue) with phone charger by cutting the usb wire then putting black in black battery wire and red to red?

Vega is AMD's Ryzen integrated GPUs , the equivalent of Intel's HD Graphics.
No, you should check this : www.amd.com/en/graphics/workstations-radeon-pro-vega
for this laptop , its probably vega 8 and its indeed an integrated gpu
i thin so it is a inbuilt graphics
One that even got you thank you for showing us teacher Sorin!
P.S. YOU STILL DON'T HAVE YOUR THERMAL CAMERA you been saying your going to get one for a long time.....
Thermal cameras are expensive than petrol. Mostly you dont need a thermal camera WHEN you know what you are doing bro.
Nenea ai un potențial nemaipomenit, sănătate multa și la cât mai multe upload uri

Hey Sorin,
What is going on with you? Hope all is well!
We all miss your movies!

I liked the word "Movies"
put all of the sciences in one room, pure genius!!
and after put them together put and a sick guy in this room because this virus (like many others) maybe is made by a human
Awesome video as usual. Thanks Sorin. Have a great weekend and be safe out there 😊
It seems quicker to take the board out to start with
because in the long run you end up taking them out any way
Sorin for Health Minister
Thanks again Sorin from Canada
Ryzen 5 mobile is an APU. Vega graphics and cpu are in one chip
👌👍
Yes, it's like Intel CPU+GPU integrated
Excellent job Sorin
Thank you
Only you can do it in this way sir
Good job very helpful
Yet again I learned something new, thank you my friend
You are doing great job! Thanks Sorin , stay healthy & greeting from Slovenia
Sorin hope is all good , have a nice Easter and be safe with your family ✌🙏
I think a thermal camera would be a really good investment for you.
I hope you and your family are well
the vega graphics is inside the ryzen5 APU
Radeon is a thing... Vega is another.... wrong sticker?
@@laboratorioassembler no, it's not. it's Radeon Vega graphics - that sticker comes with all AMD Ryzen APUs
As usual. You are doing a great job, well done.
Thank you for sharing.with nothing to do here because of community quarantine.

greetings, very useful for me as a beginner technician
Good day Mr. Sorin. Please what's the make and the name of your microscope and how can I get one that's affordable? I stumbled on your videos about 3 weeks ago and they've been of tremendous help to me.
Vega is build in the processor ryzen is Vega 8 or Vega 11. CPU and GPU build in 1
You are simply the best , sint foarte mindru de tine !
good job
Please help. We don't have zippo petrol in philipines. Can i use any brand or any lighter fluid for alternative? Thanks for this new knowledge Sorin!
The thermal camera is just a tool helping us to find a component getting hot quickly but it is not mondatory because we can working properly withouth it thanks
Remember Sorin, we learn until we die so don't be surprised if you missed something last time.
very good video. vega GPU is built into the CPU die package. They are pretty good graphics cards.
Interesting failure and process! Thank you.
A question the EC that you have replaced ITE8225E. Is it programmable?
Hey sorin are you fine?
Have some questions.
1. The Super IO and power management chip are not the same chip? 2. If power management chip controls mosfets for power suply, does the same chip starts that power supply or SuperIO does it?
Awesome job, we've learned a lot
How are you and your family Sorin ? 3 weeks without update, give sometimes on 'community' panel. Best regards to yours
I don't understand what kind of cooling that laptop has. CPU heatsink has no connection with the fan.
me too, maybe someone knows. it cant be enough cooled by only the airflow along the heat pipe, or i must be wrong. When there is a egpu installed it will be even dissipating more heat.
Facepalm indeed. Pure Asus engineers wasn't sure to make ryzen toaster or laptop so made all in one.
Maybe at the bottom cover there is a kind of plastic wind tunnel that leads the air from the fan to the heat pipe construction and then to the outside with a 90 degrees turn. That would actually be very nice system, but it is a Shame they didn't put more fins at the heat pipe to cool it better the way I described.

Hi, 3 weeks and no video. Are you ok? Hope so. Take care.
Hi can an esr be used to test for these small laptop capacitors while they still in circuit?
teacher i am the latest to advise you but you could sticke some capton tape on the chip and position it faster on the motherboard the solder few legs and then continue as you do
Please upload more of recent laptops
For this things u must use tip with little hole in the middle. Hakko bcm/cm :)
Here Start worrying too. Please be fine !!

Because scientists have 2000 euros a month and Messi, Ronaldo around 100000 and you wonder why there is no cure, let Ronaldo and Messi make it

How is the liquid you're using for checking heated components called?
zippo petrol.

you can just use flux
when the temperature of the composant rise the flux will melt
