The Power button and led is only good for morse code 🤣🤣
Sorin just a little correction the intel graphics does not come from the chipset, its embedded on the cpu package. Om very very old systems the intel graphics was on the chipset, like core 2 old
when you have dual graphics(Intel and AMD), video signals have to be switched, I think this is the chip that is doing it.
@@yoppindia a mux. :)
If you look again, I'm sure you will see a separate GPU on both of these laptops.
What sucks most is my current laptop is a Nitro 5.
The two notebooks only differ in size, they needed that extension board to put the same components inside.
there is no fail job video Sorin.. thanx that you are a wonderful person. I even learn lot from these videos which you define them as "fail".. thanx for inspiration..
06:20 Chipset manages the flow of data between components on a motherboard. It's the traffic controller between the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and peripherals. When the laptop is not at heavy usage,doing some simple stuffs laptops are using integrated gpu which are build in cpu,for example for intel cpu: some inte uhd and Intel Iris Xe Graphics for amd some Vega graphics.Ryzen laptop user can find that easy,when you open device manager,open cpu list its say for me: AMD Ryzen 7 3750H with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx. When you start heavy task like game it switch the gpu using from cpu to your stronger gpu. If you like using always your stronger grapics u can set it in windows. Overall there will be nothing wrong if the manufacturers will glue some heatsink on the chipsets,but i think they not doing that because the chip itself should not heating mouch.
The PCH got that name because the north bridge is now on the CPU. Data flow between CPU/RAM/dGPU no longer pass through the chipset. Only south bridge stuff like peripherals exist on the PCH-
@6:30 the picture is generated by the CPU, not chipset. Chipset can only switch the source, and the rest is done on the software side of things. These chipsets have zero display capability by themselves.
Im pretty disappointed with Acer. The Nitro series is reasonably priced and I had recommended it as a budget gaming/work laptop for friends but it was poorly made. Would not recommend getting anywhere near Acer anymore.
I travel a bit and I enjoy gaming on the go. I'm changing laptop brands now 😂
I had Acer Laptop i7 4th gen with 2gb Nvidia 840M, graphics for 7 years never ever gave trouble , i sold it and upgraded to a newer model .
I have 4 Acer Nitro's all with dead chipsets. Just got a BGA rework machine. Going to try replacing the chipsets and see what happens. Hope I can bring them back to life. Always wondered why some laptops had heat sinks on the PCH and others don't guess just cost savings for the manufacturer. Going to stick some heatsinks from Amazon on these if they work after their heart transplants.
I installed my own heatsink to that chipset back in 2020 i don't know why Acer just don't bother with this stuff
Hi Soris that black desk surface for a days now makes my watching experience unpleasant
Laptops with RTX GPUs aren't really that expensive any more, as Nvidia has discontinued the GTX line and even lower end GPUs are now part of the RTX brand. There also used to be a low-end MX line, but it seems Nvidia has discontinued that one too.
Hello Soren, I had such a laptop and the charger was 22 volts
Unlucky Sorin you can’t win them all 😊thanks for the upload 😊
yes i bought a laptop for $20 from facebook marketplace broken and parts, DIY. the chipset was blown up. so i tear down and use for parts
Had EXACT same with these models.
Sorin, don't plug back the bios battery. The shorted chipset will drain it in a matter of few days/weeks.
and?
Hey Sorin. Just courious, what's the probability of a successful laptop repair? Like how many laptops from batch of 100 could you repair on average.
What a stupid question. How long is a length of string?
@@elitecol69 What a stupid answer. Nobody asked you. I'm just courious about the success rate.
isn't the cpu under the heatsink
hello sorin, if we have a working PCH , what diagnoses could be done to make sure that the problem is only in the PCH and not in the CPU or the GPU to avoid wasting time and money? can you make video a explaining that? thank you
Hello, Sorin! With all respect, why there's nothing you can do if it is AMD? I'm just curious :D
I like it how that second laptop wasn't even a nice laptop anymore, just a crazy job 🤣
"Gaming" laptops often fall short fall short of true gaming capabilities, resembling knockoff versions of desktops rather than genuine gaming machines. note that aside, with Moore's Law nearing its physical limit, planned obsolescence has become a prevailing concern. mounting a small cooling thermal pad or heat sink into the PCH could have significantly extended them prematurely broken laptop's lifespan, yet such measures seem absent in today's market, falling below satisfactory standards. a scummy behavior if you asked me.
I have picture..
I've got 4 laptops with bad PCH on my desk right now. If i replace this chipset and clear the bios ME, which other ICs are usually affected?
And you need some new reading glasses 😂
Whats wrong with amd cpu
The fact that this gaming laptops can not be repaired without replacing the motherboard is sad. 😔😔☹️😪 electronics is very sensitive it needs proper knowledge. 👍
Hi sir when i play game's like gta 5 its give 1 hour battery backup in acer nitro 5, 16 gb ram
My son has such a laptop. Any suggestions how to prevent this?
buy a Lenovo Legion next time.
All gaming Laptops are crap, but at least Legion are built a bit better.
Keep the chipset cold with a tiny heatsink, or thermal pads
You could find an old cup heatsink from a modern laptop cut to size and then connect it to the primary heaksink via soldering. Obviously checking clearances from other components. It is extreme but would work. Thermal pads may do a decent enough job. Most modern laptops are crap anyway, poor design cheap parts, you'll get an original alienware still going strong today, you won't be saying in a couple of years about the latest gaming laptops.
What if Sorin was repairing graphic cards... on northweatrepair yt channel we got a whole video of it 🤣😂
It doesnt have to do with the "PEG", it has to do with IDG, perhaps youre confusing with MUX switches and optimus.
In that case if optimus runs everything passes form IDG. IF autoselect PEG is "wired" directly "bypassing" IDG.
Thats why you get performance boosts with Optimus off, or if you got better laptop Advanced optimus.
If im correct.
0:50 Why not AMD? AMD laptops have NVidia GPUs too.
Seems that Acers of this model are not very reliable machines…
My Nitro 5 i7 RTX died in December after 3 months. I am still waiting.
Plugged in my external monitor then boom, dead.
So ACER Nitro 5 can be categorized as a failed product?
any tips to prevent this damage to the chipset ?
Change thermal paste? Use a cooling mat?
brother, I need your help, I have an imac a1419 (2014) that drives me crazy, it does not provide audio, the strange thing is that it does provide audio when the machine starts, once the system starts, it does not do so, it does not detect any device, except one that says digital output, I have already ruled out the system, I already changed the headphone jack, I measured if voltage was reaching the codec, and if it did, (just in case I replaced it) and the problem continues, I no longer know what to do, thanks in advance .
You need to check the audio circuit maybe there is a bad component or cold solder joint. I would try to reflow or replace the audio ic.
The king of power injection! Thank you.
pls is the name of the gun he pointed on the faulty chip
Hi, I did not know the cameras name was 'pls', thanks for letting us know that.
Everybody body can tell how many ohm short for pch. Thank you
around 30-40ohm
👍
big mistake going for acer
Idol ❤🎉
new laptops are mostly junk , its like older acer nitros were working ...now days they make so cheap they break easy lol
The chips is not responsible for video
More vidéos, liké yours vidéos super....
Another Acer laptops specially Nitro series!!!
waw acer Nitro5 is really Breakable
Hi Sorin, nice fail collection.... is very bad the OEM don't design dissipator for the chipset.... obviusly they wont you buy a new one... but i can accept for a cheaper laptop but not for a gaming expencive one... very sheet gay.. bye Francesco Timpano from Florence Italy
One thing I learned from your video is never buy an Acer gaming laptop.
I've had mine since it released in 2021 and just now I am having an issue and I've pushed it's capabilities I'm sure.
I think the costumer should spend the repair money of the chipset because it's a expensive laptop, it diserve a try.
isn't 60 pounds for a chipset replacement like a really low price? I wonder how much you're charging for a simple shorted mosfet replacement then...

It always Acer ACER ACER
dont buy Acer laptops
lesson learned
Very strange but Acer Laptop have always been bad to me. Be it AMD or Intel. Asus and Gigabyte seem to be much better. Cooling as well.
Rule number one: NEVER buy a gaming laptop
@@alex830815please suggest which laptop I should buy if I need good computing power and value for money
Gaming laptops are nice, but you got to get a good one and no skimping on budget, and you have to clean them yearly.
Got a 2006,2009,2016, and a 2021 laptop still kicking.
Gigabyte, never EVER touch that brand, they hate their customers, rejected all my rmas, horrible costumer service, and flat out told me to go buy a different product.
You can find a page on where they never sent back a dudes gpu.
They may of been good in the past but are scummy today, I'm surprised they are still around.
I can't vouch for alienware ether, they had a horrible dell start, then got good in 2010s, but then as of now all products are a possible hit and miss.
TLDR you got to research before you buy no.
I just replied to this comment a while ago and my comment is nowhere to be found now
@@Tee008 Which brand(s) were the laptops you mentioned that were still working, if I may ask?
Why dont you work on AMD laptops?
these new laptops are complete garbage crap
