When you do the troubleshooting you make repairing look so easy. One thing I have learnt from all your repair videos you use your tools very efficiently and effectively. Thank you for the inspiration.
Hard to believe that other repair shops can be so careless and sloppy with the work they do on your electronics. Makes you think twice about who you pick to fix your stuff
Yeah as someone who worked in a repair shop yeah it really sucks fixing the other peoples mistakes or breaks. Especially when what they were screwing up wasen't the problem in the first place.
It's the same with builders, you just don't know who's good. We use to go with reviews before but they are not reliable these days. Word of mouth is probably a good bet but I suppose it's still a gamble. 🤔
This man goes straight to the point to fix the problem your videos are very interesting and not boring there are people who tell so many stories I don't want to hear making their videos boring

I am also an amateur repair gnuowif. I fixed a Dell 5579 laptop similar to the one you just fixed. It's my wife's laptop and I fixed it yesterday. It's short-circuited with the mosfet shorted and 1 capacitor shorted. Unfortunately, the problem burned the board at the Mosfet position and punctured a hole in the board. But I carefully wired each circuit and used a grinder to work out the burned part. It took 2 hours to repair that laptop but it was really fun. And more importantly, I have successfully fixed it. I don't have a thermal camera like yours so locating the short circuit is quite difficult but that's ok.
Am an old technician. Love your videos. Very educative. In our old days we never had the ibgts and the new semi conductors, Voltage and frequencies were a nightmare to calibrate. Todays world all that has changed.
With the volume of work you do, that IR camera and injection tool has paid themselves very quickly. Excellent diagnostic tools. With a better than factory user.
I get the same joyful expression after nailing a repair. It doesnt matter how many times I get it done. I become overwhelmed with a sense of accomplishment as if it was my very first repair.
It was very time consuming but it got me to the right area of the board in just a few minutes and I didnt have to spray alcohol all over it. Works fine in a pinch.
I am amazed how easy looks like whenever you repair things. I have lust to learn everything what you are doing in these videos. You explain detailed way things which is good for educate the newbies such as me. Thank you for these videos. 👍
hard to believe there is people complaining about who wins $50... great vid! i will def look into that supply you have, my bench supply only does 5A max.
Everyone has their own ways to find short on the board just need couple of experience on working, if you have thermal camera and voltage injection then that's a plus point. Great work 👍
Love your videos. Can’t wait to have enough money to get tools and do what you do again. I miss it. Everyone has a negative opinion about something. You handle it great. Good luck with all those video cards
Awesome I learnt and I'm still learning from you my general, you are my mentor, although I do not have enough tools for the work but I'm able to fix, the problem here in Africa is hard to get right tools for the work especially soldering tools and capital, but appreciate what are you doing I'm learning through your videos
I wanted to get one to do some AC repairs. When I saw the pricetag of the handhelds I almost had a heart attack. Then I found the USB C FLIR One gen 3. For $250 and a download of an app, it worked pretty well.
such are the services, they replace parts and I do not want to check the causes of a short circuit in more detail. And here it was possible to locate the damaged capacitor quickly and without any problems. Good job
wow Alex wow i watched this special video 3 times in a row thank you so much! i clearly see that the right troubleshooting procedures with thermal camera and voltage injection tools are very important for such king of case . i think it is better you put the links for those tools , and if you mind please mention the way of getting those devices including V2 microscope for non -local technicians like me by the way Alex i am from ethiopia and runningmy own bisunes by following your path!
Now I see how to inject voltage correctly, I´m going to buy one now. I´d like to buy from you guys but I´m in Brazil. Keep doing the good videos!!! Thanks again
I call that voltage injector as short circuit killer. Diys short circuit killer plus alcohol works for me. Thermal scanners are for pros. And Ur a pro. U nailed it. 👍😎
What i think ? ..... Amazing work like everyday , Watching you from algeria and i learnt alot watching your videos bro , Especially how to solder and use different solder tips and where to ise specific ones.... Respect bro, wish you success . Greeting from algeria ✋😊
Bypass caps may have diff values even when the same size, for example in my last audio circuit I used 100uF 10uF 0.47uF. But as you mention in nearly every cap replacemeng vid, if you use 10uF + 10uF and 0.47uF that device will still work, maybe not that "precise" but it will and that is all what people want.
I use boardview software all the time and it states the Capacitance of every component. I worked on 50 or so models and all have the same capacitance when caps are soldered in banks. why you may ask? well it's manufacturing procedure, it's easier for the manufacturer to use the same caps so the board takes less time to manufacture, of course this is only viable in capacitor banks ( caps in parallel with same size ) now why is it that audio equipment can be different ? well filtering is very precise in audio equipment thus capacitance needs to be precise as well, often the capacitance needed is no even available so they put different cap values to creat an equivalent precise capacitance ** Capacitance is calculated opposite of resistance, meaning ; values are added when in // and inversly added when in series
This is awesome video,just learnt something important...indeed I will need a voltage injection tool and a thermal camera ...I have checked in one of our biggest town in the country of Zambia but no such devices ...wish to have such some day...
I've been using the Ulephone Armor 9 phone for detecting overheating components. It's built in thermal camera has worked great. It cost me under $700 with all the extras included. I don't even use it as a phone. I just use the endoscope and thermal camera. Only downside is it can't be attached directly to a monitor. It's chip wasn't designed for it.
Like viewing your repair videos, always learn new ways of repairing electronics. Am saving to open a repair shop. Great job as always keep it up. Love from Grenada.
Love your work, and appreciate you sharing all your fixes! I do have one question though... I have the exact same camera and led light and I'm wondering how you get such a clear image? How do you not have the led glaring back into the scope and into the camera causing bad granular image?
Wow that's amazing, I also want to fix board level repair soon when I can afford to buy some tool. As of now I love watching you're video man I learned a lot. Love from PH❤️🇵🇭
I have the same question, by the looks, it appears to be a Fluke 8X series, so could be any of them as layout is pretty similar. I own 2 flukes and they are superb multimeters.
Good day Alex. Question why did you use another meter to check the value of the capacitor when you have the fluke 87V? Won't it give the reading? Thank you for a great video again have a bless day. ;) Looking forward to your reply.
The voltage injection tool combined with the thermal cam is a really powerfull combination!
When you do the troubleshooting you make repairing look so easy. One thing I have learnt from all your repair videos you use your tools very efficiently and effectively. Thank you for the inspiration.
Its so great to see you getting really happy when you finaly fixed something. Keep on doing your fantastic work!
I was going to say the same thing. He becomes Mr Happy!

It's amatuer hour for those unfortunately

No matter how long Alex has done this, he smiles like Christmas morning everytime something is fixed. Love it.
_I enjoy watching Alex flex by fixing other shop's no-fixes!_ 💪🏼

brother watching you fixing is my fun. i always happy with you when you "cmon look at this"
you probably have been told 16 million times that your work should be on a satisfaction videos list 😌😌😌
I love how you are still happy and smile when you fix stuff even if you fixed hundreds of devices.
You are the luckiest person in world to have lots of Donner board's to repair what you receive for repair God bless you
Your are the electronic surgeon. Enjoy your all your repair videos. Your have very systematic approach to find the multiple issues. Great job
You make this look so simple! The short is gone! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
So therapeutic watching your videos
Love that joyful laugh once you successfully repaired the device, I know the feeling.
With the volume of work you do, that IR camera and injection tool has paid themselves very quickly. Excellent diagnostic tools. With a better than factory user.
Your politeness and smartness just wow
I get the same joyful expression after nailing a repair. It doesnt matter how many times I get it done. I become overwhelmed with a sense of accomplishment as if it was my very first repair.
Best way to end my shift at work by watching you do great work as always.
Sir I am an great FAN of yours.. I reside in India. I like the way you find out the faults and make dead laptop work..😍
You are certainly top man of finding faults and repair ,Well done and always a pleasure to watch you at work.
I don't get tired of seeing your joyful face when a job is fixed and all back to specs !!
I have had success with a cheap lazer thermometer to find hot spots on electronics.
That would be tough
Time consuming, but creative way!
It was very time consuming but it got me to the right area of the board in just a few minutes and I didnt have to spray alcohol all over it. Works fine in a pinch.
if it's just to repair ur own laptop, it could be the perfect option if u don't own a Thermo camera while u already have a thermometer
@@gastongl404 Keep in mind the massive price difference between the two.
I am amazed how easy looks like whenever you repair things. I have lust to learn everything what you are doing in these videos. You explain detailed way things which is good for educate the newbies such as me. Thank you for these videos. 👍
I noticed what seems a missing MOSFET at 03:00 Mashaallah great knowledge and analysis in finding the issue. Great job.
You are amazing in quick diagnosis (years of experience) and we need to watch a lot of your films to match the MASTER
Great thing is that you enjoy every time when laptop gives picture on screen! Keep it up bro !
best repair channel on you tube with great values and morals
I really like the way thermal camera point directly to the problem..let's call it Mr Detective!
hard to believe there is people complaining about who wins $50... great vid! i will def look into that supply you have, my bench supply only does 5A max.

Love your videos. Can’t wait to have enough money to get tools and do what you do again. I miss it. Everyone has a negative opinion about something. You handle it great. Good luck with all those video cards
I'm learning so much from Northridge fix videos. Thanks Alex
So much intrested and competent you are. Although am a Physician but watching your all video.
Love the content, keep up the good work. The days you don't post content, I'm bummed (but I get it, you gotta balance family, life, and work).
Finding shorts is my weakness. I'm learning a lot with your fixes. Thanks!
Hey man,your videos are more than a usual electronics fix.
Gives lot of happiness and relaxation
Awesome I learnt and I'm still learning from you my general, you are my mentor, although I do not have enough tools for the work but I'm able to fix, the problem here in Africa is hard to get right tools for the work especially soldering tools and capital, but appreciate what are you doing I'm learning through your videos
Having a thermal camera can save you a lot of time and add value to your repair's... happy family time Mr. Flash
You make this all look so easy, yet here I am for weeks beating on a simple Switch issue, lol. I learn a lot watching!
And now I want a thermal camera even more (i don’t even repair stuff - just feel like I need one!)
I know that feeling
You probably don't.
I wanted to get one to do some AC repairs. When I saw the pricetag of the handhelds I almost had a heart attack. Then I found the USB C FLIR One gen 3. For $250 and a download of an app, it worked pretty well.
Flir One Pro 😃
such are the services, they replace parts and I do not want to check the causes of a short circuit in more detail. And here it was possible to locate the damaged capacitor quickly and without any problems. Good job
why do you not inject voltage near the problem area again, and check with thermal cam to pinpoint which component is issue ?
wow Alex wow i watched this special video 3 times in a row thank you so much! i clearly see that the right troubleshooting procedures with thermal camera and voltage injection tools are very important for such king of case . i think it is better you put the links for those tools , and if you mind please mention the way of getting those devices including V2 microscope for non -local technicians like me by the way Alex i am from ethiopia and runningmy own bisunes by following your path!
A thermal camera saves a lot of time. Good work brother. Kudos
It's really really hard to have this tools in my country. We hope we learn another stuff from and for sure thank you.🤷♂️
Really you osoom ,honest and real professional and by making video doing a grt job.Well done Dr Umer Islamabad Pakistan
I share the "Meter In Diode Mode" which I learned from watching your videos to my EE coworker and he can move forward the debugging job.
High level of professionalism!
Wow! Power injection tool and thermal camera!! Gonna be saving for that set up for sure!! Thank you!!
Now I see how to inject voltage correctly, I´m going to buy one now. I´d like to buy from you guys but I´m in Brazil. Keep doing the good videos!!! Thanks again

Greeting from algeria ✋😊
A channel that gives back to its users. I love it shows support 🌻
hi alex may i know where did you buy the LCR tester from ? please send us the link thank you

Wish I was able to fix an old Acer laptop that just decided to stop working over night. You make it look so easy 😅
Like viewing your repair videos, always learn new ways of repairing electronics. Am saving to open a repair shop. Great job as always keep it up. Love from Grenada.
You are truly a machine. I (and I think a lot more people watching) am learning so much from your videos. :)
Proper tools combine with knowledge,better than factory job
Thank you, i know this isnt related to your repair videos but i was able to fix my Led Tv bcoz of watcing you on how you diagnosed problems 😊
Troubleshooting a faulty board is really entertaining when you know what you're doing ,awesome job keep them coming 😃👍
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳You are my teacher in soldering ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I really want to learn this kind of skills, microsoldering stuff, its really satisfying to watch!
You techniques are simple and effective. Awesome work..
your channel is growing so fast. Keep up the good work!
The winner is from North east India hurray hurray👏👏👏🇮🇳
Thermal camera is a must! Definitely on my wish list
I really enjoy this tutoria. Can you please show us how to get a short on the board without using voltage injector.
Those other shops need to learn, "Better than 🏭 Factory"
Great work as usual. Please suggest us some thermal camera in budget. As the flir cost is too high for us like small repair business.
Love your work, and appreciate you sharing all your fixes! I do have one question though... I have the exact same camera and led light and I'm wondering how you get such a clear image? How do you not have the led glaring back into the scope and into the camera causing bad granular image?
You are a fixing machine 😉 I'm learning a lot from your videos, thank you. Keep up the great work 👍
I watch your every videos. But I wonder one thing very much that every time that caps are found faulty. Amazing!
Beauty in your work impress everybody.i think your channel subscriptions cross 1million soon
I've seen some cheap thermal cameras before that connect to your phone using USB you open up the camera app and it works pretty well.
Tools help to evolve. Another excellent repair, good job!
You can use a tone ohm meter to locate a short. If you know how to use it, it is a good tool. Not good for everyone - but it does the job.
Wow that's amazing, I also want to fix board level repair soon when I can afford to buy some tool. As of now I love watching you're video man I learned a lot. Love from PH❤️🇵🇭
boss I am amazed to see your work .. it is really like a Pro ... I know you are a Pro ... love your work chief...
Amazing indeed, im learning so much from this guy, i cannot bring myself to stop watching his videos
been learning how to fix electronics and your channel is a great inspiration
Thanks for the explanation on the voltage injection tool 😊
I’m proper addicted to these sort of videos. :)
clean work friend....really that's great, waiting you every time and saw all your works for many...go ahead
Great video. I agree if you need a voltage injector tool and a thermal camera to do the job this quickly, then get one! Time is money.
Your thermal camera is life saving.
What brand and model multimeter do you use? I haven't notice you mention it yet. I've watched a lot of your videos, not all yet but a lot.
I have the same question, by the looks, it appears to be a Fluke 8X series, so could be any of them as layout is pretty similar. I own 2 flukes and they are superb multimeters.
Easy find with the right equipment. Awesome job Alex
I love your videos. Can you tell me what gloves are you using? And for what purpose? (anti-static, isolation?)
You asked "what you think? “ I think you are awesome 👌✌️
Good day Alex. Question why did you use another meter to check the value of the capacitor when you have the fluke 87V?
Won't it give the reading?
Thank you for a great video again have a bless day. ;)
Looking forward to your reply.
I definitely need a power injection makes it look so much easier to resolve the issue and with troubleshooting. Great video keep them coming
The right tools make the job easy
