You know... Sometimes when a repair is ongoing... I brought into a scene which sounds like this 😂😁...my words sometimes: Everything is ok...but is not running 😂🤔 Bless the proper calibrated wire! Without this...no electronics can be done! Cheers Sorin! A pleasure to watch your repairs.💪
Funny thing about the charging port detection with 5V, back a few years ago Acer didn't have any charging port detection and there was a case of someones laptop (and house) catching on fire from a very badly mangled charging port shorting. They started doing this which fixed nothing because we still get burned charging connectors, but also ones that are slightly too loose on the detection pin like this one. Usually we just remove a resistor in a voltage divider meant to turn 19V into 5V for the detection pin (next to PQB23 on this one), shorting it to ground is also a good option if you don't know where it is.
Some online tricks exist, that works. The tricks vary by the brands of the laptop. I removed the battery, started an Asus, and the charging started while I inserted the battery. The charging problems are mainly caused by the weakness of the charger, that can also be a nee one. I used a 12 v battery screwdriver to fix the charger’s 19 v output, while the charger is AC offline. The generator also fixes locked, blacklisted chargers, and universal chargers. Generating the current may take up to 10 minutes, until the charger has a resistance against the generator.
I've fixed 4 Acer laptops, all A515 (-43 x2, -47, and -52). Those ports break easily even if you were careful not to move the laptop or the cord while it's plugged in. Fortunately my current one, a -47 also supports charging via USB and that port is much tougher and had no issue at the time. I should be lucky it was only a $5 port that broke. Your method of using a wire to bridge the faulty pin is much quicker and easier but the socket will eventually break apart and not hold the plug any more.
I just bought a Msi 1771 laptop thats coming on and a dead battery that might need replacing that`s not charging and i hope its the same issue with a easy fix but cant be sure till i check it over, great help in finding the faults as ever! :)
I have one of these I'm waiting for the charger for. Odd thing is it calls for a 45w charger, but I could get the 65w one cheaper. Replaced the cmos and thermal paste. Was told its supposed to work but I'll know once I get the charger. Then its up on marketplace since I don't need one.
Awesome. I got the charger for mine today. The 8th gen intel i5 variant. The charging light keeps cutting off... Regardless of the position the charger. I guess I'll have to do the same thing.
Hello, how do I fix my dell latitude 5400 not going to sleep when lid is closed. When my power option in windows "Choose what closing the lid will do" is set to sleep please... Please help
Mine is not charging but the port is showing signs of receiving voltage. The tech I took it to says it could be the motherboard but I am not sure. Can anyone please give me answer to if the above is true and if not what could be the issue before I decide to have them "fix it?"
Everyday the new innovations on laptops are destroying all the friendly use of a device. I think the factories aren’t doing the proper quality test. Terrible design. Thumps up for the great video. 👍🏻
Actually i need some help from here. I installed windows 10 on a chromebook 11 but the touchpad and audio are not working, anyone with the correct drivers please my head is burning. I thank you
One can only imagine a poor technician trying to figure out this fault, clueless about this charging pin until they find this video and finally see the light at the end of the tunnel lol
The tiny barrel connectors are horrible and they break all the time. I really miss the old square adapters that laptops had. They had 3 or 4 pins and they were really rugged
@@mart43 yes, USB-C is nice. But the laptops all use the barrel style connectors. They should use an actual square that is 3/4 or 1 inch square with 3 prongs, like the old laptops used. They never broke. These barrels, they are not secured in the machine. The boards inside are too easy to break the connector from the board. It needs to be a solid connector that is metal and part of the case, so if you bang it the PCB board doesn't break
it will not happen, if everyone had EV cars, they would consume more electricity to charge the batteries, so power plants would have to expand and spend more on electricity production, and therefore there will be more pollution of the atmosphere
A laptop with dual m.2 slot , dual ram slot and dual fans for just a cpu. With such shitty dc jack . Like what!!!!, they realised at end that they designed future proof laptop so they needed to add this fault .
That is a proper calibrated fault and a proper classic solution is a proper calibrated wire😅. Thank you

Nice one. Other repair shops would probably just replace the power jack, and laptop would work for a while coming back with same issue.

Yeah! I recentlly came across that exact problem and I just said to myself "This is a deliberate design to make the device fail".
it is better to remove resistor on divider, 19v to 5 v, but it is easyer like this, stay well Sorin
Sorin’s skills are proper nice. Love your videos! 😊

look at 2:38 for PQB1 transistor+resistor pair. Someting is doggy there... (cold solder joints IMHO)
😂😂
I'm using same laptop. It also charges by type-c port. And customer enabled 80% charging limit.

Excellent, thanks to showing us commun fault like this. 👌
Hi Sorin Those laptops have a bios option that if the battery is over 80% they don’t charge just need to disable it
Thanks Enos, such a wonderful job u are doing, Kudos
Who is Enos ??
Brilliantly fixed thanks sorin 😊

Please sorin can you do a video about varistors and how to choose it 🙏 you're the best

Have same laptop, thanks Sorin 😊
Great catch.
Good job mate 👏
NOTE: Acer geniuses placing on some boards a little switch(open case) and battery will not charge until you return bottom case back or just short it
My acer laptop has the similar charging port so now I have got to know what fault it is now I can repair my one any time thanks
Present, Maestro Sorin
Awesome. I got the charger for mine today. The 8th gen intel i5 variant. The charging light keeps cutting off... Regardless of the position the charger. I guess I'll have to do the same thing.
Every video is helpful :)
Short id pin to ground is consume battery all the time because its normally pull up
Great teacher

Thumps up for the great video. 👍🏻
very nice trick
Hi how can I insert a ram in a laptop where there is no ram slots
Nice! 😎
what type of power supply for charging is he using?
what happened to Acer? am seeing them here a lot!
Long time not seeing the proper calibrated wire 😁😁
Actually i need some help from here. I installed windows 10 on a chromebook 11 but the touchpad and audio are not working, anyone with the correct drivers please my head is burning. I thank you

Don't you think it's about time manufacturers standardised on usb c charging sockets, as per cell phones, or is this not possible?
the laptop also has usb-c charging, as someone said above.
@@orange11squares Thank you for your reply. I did read that, but that wasn't my question.
2 fans, 2 heatpipe without a dGPU? That's a nice design or Ryzen is just hot?
💯💯💯💯
Soon, you will be repairing E V cars. Charging port solution, right?
I dont expect EV charging port to become faulty, remember its not minartured
The tiny barrel connectors are horrible and they break all the time.
I really miss the old square adapters that laptops had. They had 3 or 4 pins and they were really rugged
@@ocsrc What about USB-C? Do you like that connector for charging because it is square?
@@mart43 yes, USB-C is nice. But the laptops all use the barrel style connectors. They should use an actual square that is 3/4 or 1 inch square with 3 prongs, like the old laptops used.

proper dodgy design
Never buy an Acer they are sh*t as is customer services.
