Hi Sorin we watch you from Australia as a whole family with my 4 kids and we now always use your LOOOOOL as our laughing at home hahah thank you for the content
Sorin is a real electronics master to fix someone else's mess.
Sorin, if the SSD is not displayed, switch off the VMD Controller in the BIOS. Then you do not need an additional driver.
not sorin's concern by this situation 😅, his job to made laptop is ON only😊 ,
@@venerandarain3for testing purposes
damn, wish i knew about this last week... oh well
@@ps-ib6ctwhy? it's not hard to load VMD driver during windows setup
What does VMD do? Never heard about it and never had issues with M.2 with 11gen intel. I don t get it.
Can also be a simple windows type setting in BIOS? Like legacy or windows 11 no?
This is now one of my fav videos you have made. I love the journey you take to find such complex faults. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Sorin ... you just repaired a donor board
lol you right
The more I watched the clearer it became. 😅
Amazing that you got this working after someone had cut out mosfets and bodged it about as much as you discovered. There are now far too many 'repairers' out there who try to fix laptops, mess them up worse that when they got them, then sell them on. Well done for spending the time on this.
"too many 'repairers" along with Kebab shops, hairdressers and chicken shops
I really enjoyed to see this video. This have multiple faults and I have some jobs like this and try to repair, only just for learning. If I resolve the problem problem, great and pleased for my success.
Of course, you need to make money and time is money, but in the Genesis of your yt channel is electronic school.
This jobs is the best for us, simple guys..
It cost me to beg for more of this jobs, but I understand...
Best of luck in next lesson!!
You did this just all the fans!! Thanks Sorin
Hello Soren and Channel. My lesson comes as I use my Fluke multi meter. Which came to my hand as broken * dropped from a great height and I repaired as the screen. And where both general visit to the board problems as to trace, identify the missing component and exactly why, USB c is absolutely critical as manufacture cheap intention. So why would this matter?
Well, because I have a digital recorder waiting for workbench troubleshooting and power supply value as individual "manufacture" to install.
Will I manage a repair? *Maybe? What is unusual to the device? At shut down, it clears the digital recording as music or voice to a digital drive. So your lesson is very clear to a larger bit as electron flowing and metric as repair.
Thank you for the kind nature and careful post to such problems. I really enjoy them. It a benefit to repair craft in my life, you see. M.
I'm with you on that "more alcohol"
You got into the job because you are a good man and want to help others 👍
I had much worse nightmare in my last video. The notebook was in a service and not only did they solder it badly, the board no longer had a PCH on it 😵
I had the same mosfet with this same condition on a asus zephyrus. I just put the new mosfet over the base of the burned one to not break the layer and it's works fine.
Sorin great job.I admire you and your techniques
What an absolute treat to watch you walk through the process of troubleshooting the variety of faults on this board. Over the last year I have been learning how to work on PCBs and ive gotten really good at the repair part. But I am still working on the troubleshooting process and understanding the power rails etc. Thanks for sharing these videos!
On the label it says PD charging, it should work on usb c. It also happened to me that I plugged in the type-c cable into the type-a port. It fits like a glove. And shorts all the pins with each other and the outer metal. They were not thinking much when they designed the new connector.
Hey Sorin, Great video as always, ive noticed you stopped vaping?
Genius, I would have given up a lot earlier. Nice one. 👏👏👏
Yeah maybe you should have stopped.. But then we would never get to see the wizard do his magic.. I love it when you work on puzzles like this.. I learn so much more from watching you trouble shoot a project like this.. Please do a few like this from time to time.. Thanks my friend!
i thought this was dead for sure! nice job Sorin :)
Sometimes it's better to remove a welded mosfet by carefully grinding it away instead of using heat and prying. However, the board will still be damaged.
yeah, I've seen other repair guy use this method and the result is better
Why that mosfet was welded?
@@faustasazuolasbagdonas123 mosfet burned through board layer
Usually Asus laptops work over usb-c also. They advertise that, 65w charging.
The processor and dGPU will not work at full power bc they don't have enough current.
But they did this for the case when you're travelling and don't want to take the brick for office/light work.
Good job mate 👏
You are a genius.
thank you so much !
Proper tuf job
Sorin, master of rabbit holes ! It sucks....
I've seen some Zenbook and ROG with dual support charging port and type C (and ASUS provide both charger in the box), of course type C charger use lower wattage than the usual charger
200/230W vs 100W type C charger (if I'm not mistaken)
I have an asus g713 i repaired recently (liquid damage right on the bq and intercil chip). Replaced bq and small smd now works. It also charges on the usb c ports with 4amps ive seen
Quite the TUF job
Send that board to Louis Rossman (I know he fixes Macbook laptops and "loves" them for being an Apple product). I would love to know your technical opinion! about Asus.
Sorin, its not that hard to understand what happened, the customer or someone they lent the laptop to used the wrong charger. They either didnt know the round charger was for the laptop and saw a usb-c port and used the charger from their phone thinkingthats how to charge it and or thought it would work, or they forgot that it takes the round charger and used their phone charger instead. It gets confusing when you have a dual purpose usb-c pd port and a single purpose usb-c data only port in the world that can be used in electronic devices. I could easily see my wife or kids doing this exact scenario because they would have no idea that only a usb-c pd port can charge the device.
I actually have a pd usb-c hub and it has 2 female usb-c ports one with a lighting bolt symbol for the pd port and the other doesnt have that but someone who isnt aware (like my kids or wife) could easily use the wrong usb port and fry the device in an instant.
wait, isn't there negotiations when communicating with the port ?! i believe you can plug USB--C PD charger into a normal USB-C but nothing should happen if the port doesn't accept it
@@hashemmi24 exactly
Quite the rabbit hole. We all do the same ... defeat is not in our repair vocabulary. I just spent 2 days trying to repair a control board for a pool robot. It ended up being a microcontroller issue ... no fix, no schematics - totally disgusted. 🤬 Yup ...it happens. Thanks for taking us on the journey & reminding us not everything can be repaired despite our best efforts. 🙃
Very tough repair but you did it as always like the master you are. kudos
Nice video 🤗
Hello sir. I flashed my laptop gpu with nvflash the wroung way, and now I have black screen. Soo should I flash the mother board bios or the gpu one. Please answer I just bought this laptop and now I don't know what to do.
if you get no image you most likely screwed the GPU software. You might need a programmer to do the same thing again ( hopefully with external monitor on USB-C ) it might trigger the integrated graphics card until you resolve the GPU issue.
I think you should repair normal charging port.
Wouldn't it work if you replace the wire for a diode near the charging port? So that you don't get voltage back in the charger
Chasing the current rabbit through the voltage maze...
First you think it's just a capacitor, ok...
then a mosfet... allright then...
and then a whole pletora of other issues :)
And again you think, why oh why do I keep accepting this kind of jobs :)
For the viewers Sorin! You do it for us! 🤗
great video Sorin :) Im curious, i have same gen laptop but it also not showing my Nvme in the Windows installation. You said something about special drivers, how does one do that?
Just switch off the VMD Controller in the BIOS.
@@SiETechNotebookReparatur thanks, will try it out
@@SiETechNotebookReparatur the vmd settings are not in my bios
@@renaldoswart9685 F7 Advanced mode, Advanced tab, at the very bottom. Or you have a totally different laptop.
Congratulations for repairing a donor board hehe... but amazing bro for trying to repair it though
Sorin, did you consider that this motherboard was the donor for the second laptop you have to repair.🤣
Only annoying thing is, is that if Sorin goes on Holiday, he never mention that in his last video to his subscribers. He suddenly dissapears and stops posting for a few day's or weeks.. 😖
hi Sorin the last mosfet you shorted which is welded in the bored was already short is that mean any sense?!
that motherboard was used for spare parts if ask me
Cred că a mai incercat să-l repare, dar nu a reușit și a trimis să-l repari tu😂😂😂
Piese lipsă, ești un geniu.
thats why they send to you one of the best at repairing these laptops. i mean you just took a junk board made it work.
infact one of your dell videos helped me fix my wifes laptop that was like 4 years ago she is still using that laptop right now while i type this all it was wrong was bad capacitor in exact same area you removed one lol. i removed the shorted one and boom we have picture as you say. crazy.
At least it brought us an interesting video. Thanks Sorin!
I immediately understood that he meant he pluged a USB charger into a USB C port that doesn't support charging, meaning there must be 2 or more USB C ports. However since there seems to be only 1 .. it doesn't make sense. He obviously didn't plug the barrel plug into USB C.
Damn, it would've been easier to fix if no one touched it - ouch! -.
I think there is something written beside the USB-C port, like "CHG" or "PD". Then its shure a fully working port; not only for data transfer.
24:03 No Mosfet no shorted mosfet and i dont care anything else😛 and it should work!!!!! or not Sorin!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
how can you check ohms with the laptop battery connected?
Cool!
Even geniuses have their motherboard moments... A delightful stroll around a motherboard and at the end... we have picture... :-)
The customer sending you totaly dead board & viola you fixed it.
No sorin no repairs.
is more funny that BENNY HILL.....no mosfet ...no short....😂😂😂
So we conclude to always look at the other side of the mother board
Sorin, They probably was trying to use the wrong charger for this laptop. My old laptop used the barrel type connector while my newer Lenovo uses a type C connector for the charger.
mr Sorin,the master✌️
Maybe customer has a usb charger from other laptop and put this one in this laptop, but if no power supported usb c, then it must be protected not?
Another Dodgy repair!! 😜 Multiple faults (some of which had already been 'repaired') - great job 😎
It's the first time I've seen you suffer so much, it really is the best video of you I've seen in the history of your channel. You've earned my like lol
That's a typical "pre-repaired" repair. The further you go - the more missing components there are. Previous "master" messed up a lot of stuff.
Can some one explain what happened with the SSD not being detected? What is the connection with the 11th cpu??
Does anyone know how to fix “the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.” Error?
Nice! 😎😎😎
Sorin, you smile when it doesn't work, that's not always the case for me! congratulations anyway ! ❤
nabijecka mas deaktivovat musi zapojit dalsi pin 3 GND aktivovat!!!!!
Looks like that motherboard was used as a parts supply.
Wow tough job, parts missing all over. Looks like a donor board with bits taken. Tried with Job lots from eBay in the past, very first board was a GPU fault and next was a CPU fault...Described as outputs to external monitor lol. High risk with job lots as most from people who know what they are doing so not much chance of easy wins maybe. Interesting job though, thanks Sorin. 👍👍
Do you know of anyone that can Crack a user password on the apple laptop.? The hint was aerosmith with a pound.
The name is "Tuff", but the chassis is super floppy!
he might have plugget usb c power supply into a PC that has USB c without pd !
UR A GENIUS SORIN
this is first repair actually I didn’t know at all what was going on 😹😹
May be he used a charger with a USB C pin
It’s possible the owner tried using a USB-C charger to charge the laptop. I have an HP laptop that will charge via the supplied charger or via one one the USB-C ports using a MacBook charger. The USB-C port is bidirectional.
I guess they mislead you for the cause of the fault in order to fix their scrap!
Different board styles
These kind of jobs keeps you going everytime and sucks you into the job, but realistically after 30 min, no clear solution. Then stop.
Wow, I think they sent you someone's previous donor board. 😅
this looks like a donor board, everything removed :))
Tough one
Hi Sorin joke for you " mum the computer guy dad met at the pub hear to fix your laptop , is he doggy ,dad said he's the best ,he want's to know were to park his horse. 😁
no sacrry startup sound this time :D:D:D
greaat.. maybe disable intel vmd controller for install windows. btw 40:18 looks like you replaced 7121 channel p with another channel p
150x motherboard auction on ebay ending in two days. Some gaming ones in there
Looks like a donor board 😂
Yeah it sucks...because of the stupid faults maybe generated by other people
that board looked like somebody used it for parts
Hi Sorin , your a nice man you try to help all people, but when you open the laptop with two mosfets missing you should have but the back on and said very polite, NO can do
Hello🤝Wow good job 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋
Asus 😑🙈💁♂️
The cap appeared to be bridged
A nightmare!, LOL
Merci !💻
