    So wonderful to watch you with your level of experience as you walk through so many details - I would not even attempt the battery connection and you breeze right through that like it was nothing! Your understanding of grounding and power - I would never attempt it on that connection with the missing leads! And then take a chance at the used board and troubleshoot it like nothing - I take baby steps watching you on so many repairs - amazing - I did learn about sugar spills and using water on this video - thank you for sharing. Kudos!

    33 ohm for chipset is normal. Great repair Sorin. I still call that a repair because cost only £12 and pch was dead on the old m/b
    I like your repairs Sorin. Very pragmatic, no unnecessary work, straight to the point. I feel a repair specialist with a lot or practical experience that doesn't waste time.

    I was waiting for years for the video "we are replacing the capacitors, but in the next video". Minute 33:00 we got it. (I learned: input caps no have to be replaced, output caps have to be repaleced, means if a cap is not connected to GND better change it for a new one.

    • @hansregli8678
      @hansregli8678 Місяць тому +1

      All caps should be replaced. They are there because the board designer knew what he was doing. Since boards are reduced to the minimum there are no superfluous caps anywhere.
      Point 2: Replace the caps with new ones. Most of the broken caps break because they were overstressed. So they are at a vital point and aging quickly. To say this clearer: If you replace a grandpa cap with the same grandpa cap of another board you will give your customer only a short time of happyness.

      sorin explained it ones, All filtering caps are usually more that needed, due to the interfering regulations. Usually there are several in parallel, and if one still there, others are not needed.
      This is ofcose for PC and android, all Apple crap is much more sensitive and have better to be replaced there.

      @@silviuguseila2552 I'm board designer. You should replace all the caps if you want to make a nice repair. I would. It's not that hard. And yes you should replace them with new one. Also ceramic caps and all electronics is sensitive to heat, I would avoid hot air as long as possible. But yes Sorin is correct your circuit will survive easily with removing some of the input/output caps. Depending on the power rail obviously but 19V input rail has the most caps all over the board. But there is still a reason to have local caps to each power supply or chip. This is due to capacitance/inductance in the traces. Yes board works, but you may have more noise on the output. If it's in really hard place to reach I would understand, but otherwise I would always replace caps with the new ones.

    Awesome repair video. The only downside for this job is probably a change in internal memory size and the CPU heatsink. Internal memory may be higher with the new board or lower. For the CPU heatsink, that metal shim is not ideal for an i5 and above CPU, which the laptop may support. The motherboard you picked up likely has a faster CPU since it will be more popular than an i3.
