Thank you for the videos Sorin! After watching you I had the confidence to try and repair a broken MacBook and scored myself one for 50 euro! Now I have a working one
@@TheHalo14austhe fix was very simple - dead battery. Laptop wouldn't charge so I disconnected battery, plugged in charger and laptop turns on. Easy to get a replacement battery for MacBooks too
Nice one, Sorin! Two things: 1) Your advices for batteries are even valid for cars. On the manual of my wife's Volto EX30, they ask for, from time to time, allowing the battery to discharge in order for the internal computer to collect data to correctly calculate the battery charge (and autonomy, of course). 2) *Please*, never use a blade forcing the cutting face in the direction of your hands, like you did at 12:55. It's very easy to get injured like that! Rotate the laptop and cut it in the direction away from you :)
Working on one of these similar. No 3.3v. no short on coil. The short seems to be between the gate driver and the pos output of ic. Ordered ic. And will play more later.i see a lot of your repairs are a simple current injection to find shorts. I hardly get them..always more difficult hard to find signal issues. One before was no pic, but ended up being flexes fed into lcd glass. I can never win.
Angle of thinking was limited to some technician,as they once swap the faulty with known good component and the result remained the same,they didn't think that the component (battery) faulty
good day mr. Sorin, I'm a fan from Philippines, back then i used to have a device that similarly had a fault with one of your video, that's why i discovered your videos on youtube. and it happened before pandemic. i started to do electronics as a hubby and now it became my source of living. always watching your videos on my free time. mr. Sorin, I'm just wondering if you are using that micro scope from temu? it would be a very useful tool in my work bench😅, I can't really afford that much for now 😅 earning just enough for daily experience
Before the device becomes obsolete due to new battery technology, I recommend the owner starts to make it open to more people to buy at a reasonable price for hobbyists.
Thank you very much for your videos. I watched a lot of your videos and I learned many useful things. Now I want your help. I see the message "No bootable image found." in my laptop. And I can't use even my keyboard and touchpad. What can I do now? Please help me.
14:34 never saw such fuse before. but base from his explanation. it is "self destruct" fuse. if the BMS circuit (Battery Management system) figured that the battery is in bad health. it will power the heater below it and melt the fuse. This is perfect if it does the job right. specially on EV cars and motorcycles. but in this video, like he said, the BMS made a bad call. coz it has only 86 cycle. The last time I heard such kind of system that feels like a planed obsolescence are on the printer cartridge. it record how much print you do. and if it reach a certain print it stop printing and ask that you change cartridge 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ just seems strange in this case… fuse blew for a reason, now we’re taking out that safety? Though he said something about it’s a heated fuse and it melts the solder?
hi dear teacher I like very to repair computer and power supply but I don't know from where can I start .... please guide me so thanks I wish to be always healthy.
Its all about R&D efforts whats put in there.. if you transfer that time into money its super cheap. I know your feeling like for decades i looked why car tuning companies asking so much money for the tune of ECM. After i did all work myself fully which took solid year work.. that money you end up paying for ready one is fart in desert.
not only that but the person behind is a gatekeeping dummy, his practices are very bad, almost like an evil megacorp, will not support this even if it was cheap.
never seen a fuse like that. it feels like something that can be abused for planed obsolescence like how they do on ink cartridge asking you to change if it reach certain number of prints. but I can understand the need for such self destruct fuse on batteries coz lithium batteries are dangerous. specially on EV's I hope they don't apply this shit on Vacuum robots too and the likes.
Yes the same thing applies to vacuum cleaners etc. Dyson is known for that.... setting flag in microcontroller eeprom and after that no charging. Changing the cells makes no difference, still non-working. To re-set it requires jtag programmer. For Dyson it is easier to buy chininse copy battery. For the price of original battery I can buy 4x copies and they last at least as long (4 years). If it fails in 4 years just buy another one for 25-30 bucks vs $100 or more for original.
Do you have experience? He has videos where if there has been something the fuse has melted again so its in factory condition still with this repair. Here is honestly nothing dodgy going on when you know whats happening here on video.

the most interesting job ive ever done, for reviving dead battery laptop. 👌🏻
Thank you Mr Sorin !!! We need more people like you in this world…
This man is genius🤩
Greetings from Venezuela I am watching your videos and I am learning a lot at any time I am asking you for advice
Surgeon Sorin did it again.
Yes, good job, i think you have to charge and discharge any new battery to calibrate at first use, Thanks Sorin!
The battery analyser remains a powerful tool, unfortunately not affordable for small businesses. I get like 1 locked battery in a month. 😂
$449 for unit + $269 for 1 year license, when the batteries are made from cheap poor quality lithium is kind of pointless nowadays

If I tried to cut open a battery like that I'd probably short something out with my luck lol.
This laptop looks similar to the Lenovo Yoga from the last video😱 It luckely ended up differently😎
Good job mate 👏

bitlocker works according to TPM , when the battery was unplugged that reset the bios till next boot and bitlocker didn't ask for key anymore
that's not how TPM is working, bitlocker didn't ask for password, because disk is paired with machine
@@kiki83607 why it asked for it first ?
Thank you very much for your videos. I watched a lot of your videos and I learned many useful things. Now I want your help. I see the message "No bootable image found." in my laptop. And I can't use even my keyboard and touchpad. What can I do now? Please help me.
How to find the capacity of the battery after fully discharging n charging
Amazing man.
Now, that's a proper calibrated fuse....🤣🤣😂.....
So next time maybe the power managment chip tries to fry the fuse and it might fail!!!? what will happen to the battery burn or blow up ?
Perfect
is something wrong that cause the fuse burn ???

still condition of the battery is poor, 86 cycles doesn't matter if the battery is made from cheap poor quality lithium
Thanksssss
10:58 this gives a mini heart attack.
Can the mainboard lcd can be changed?
All it needed was a proper calibrated fuse.
Nice! 😎
When you say some battery incompatible with notebook firmware, you mean 3rd party battery? Thank you.
Just legendary Sorin. Not easy pizza however. 😂
If anyone tries this, be careful with the knife, mine slipped and went through the battery.
Don’t have to replace the battery fuse?
it is Sorin's ideology to show that everything can be repared without changing it
@ just seems strange in this case… fuse blew for a reason, now we’re taking out that safety? Though he said something about it’s a heated fuse and it melts the solder?
@@chrisgr00ver in this case changing the fuse does not solve the problem why the signal to heat it was sent.
This is not a Vivobook. It is a Zenbook 13 flip. I lately fixed a dead Zenbook 14 flip. Capacitor like always
Thank you!
hi dear teacher I like very to repair computer and power supply but I don't know from where can I start .... please guide me so thanks I wish to be always healthy.
Your best bet is to do as I am, watch all his videos starting from beginning, he has many videos about diagnosis that is where to start.
Mai ascuțiți bisturiele, vine porc time !
😊😊👍👍
wow fixing faulty battery
A shame the battery analyzer is so expensive. Only good for busy repair shops.
shame ? show here other cheaper options

be carefull you are liable for this repair if something goes wrong at home (fire)
LOL! Please provide actual documented fires caused by laptop battery......

@@XantheFIN Yeah the original fuse is solder and Sorin just added more solder. That guy is your typical completely clueless noob lol
lick squid damage

Can you unban me from discord?

Perfect
