    That's the thing customers don't always understand. They aren't paying you for only the time you spend on the repair, they are also paying for the hundreds and thousands of hours of experience you had to undergo to get to this point.

      Not to mention the thousands of dollars in equipment!

      I believe it's a combination of 4 factors that makes this guy good.
      1) Basic knowledge of electronic components.
      2) Correct diagnostic equipment and basic use of.
      3) Critical, logical thinking.
      4) Experience.

    @viper33802 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Wouldn't it be nice if customers would tell you the whole story. So much harder having to reverse engineer the series of events. Seems like, unless the DC jack was also getting bad, that the customer did nothing but added a second issue. Great job Alex! I appreciate your videos and explanations.

    π Filter !
    !first time school helped with something!
    it's even shaped the same ( 2 Caps and a coil in the middle ) and the coil was missing.
    the problem in this instance is that it's better to replace with wire because as an RTX gaming laptop the 0 Ohm resistor/Fuse is gonna be under serious load ( 200W give or take )

  • @gamerpaddy
    @gamerpaddy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    looks like a ferrite bead to block rf interference from or to the dc jack. not really needed, a piece of wire will do just fine.

    • @stanimir4197
      @stanimir4197 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      he measured 0.4ohm - that's way too high for the bead or any coil (over 6W at 4amps) - I guess he should have zero'd the ohm meter 1st. There are 2 caps on both ends, I'd guess any choke would do.

  • @TheThore

    @ppcasm_1278 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    He is correct when he says it doesn't matter how long it takes, and that you're paying for experience. I do a lot of computer programming and hardware repair and hacks and I can't tell you how many times I have explained things that I've accomplished to other people, and I paint the picture in such a simple way that those people think they can just go out and recreate like "oh, so all you have to do is..." but without them realizing real life isn't so cut and dry and by the time they realize how complex coming to those simple solutions actually is, they're completely dumbfounded.

  • @Y0deler

    I love that mindset... it doesn't matter how long it took to fix. Your experience is not a commodity that the customer gets a discount because of.

Your video's are the first thing I look for when I open TH-cam and your viewers clearly have a lot of respect for your professionalism, expertise and ethical personality.

  • @megaraitei
    @megaraitei 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This man's a genius.
    I just paid 55$ at my local repair shop to replace a blown capacitor on my Dell. It was tiny, tiny like a grain of sugar, and even after soldering a new one - it didn't work. So I had to go to another shop about 2 hrs drive away and spend another 75$ plus 3 days to get it fixed (coz they didn't know where the prev shop had screwed up).
    Alex here does it so easily, I wonder why other shops are unable to do the same.

    • @tejaspadhye

    This looks like a pi filter formed by the two caps under the missing component, that it is an inductor.
    This topology is used to filter noise from the power supply.

    I cannot believe how much things have changed. I was repairing boards for a manufacturer back in 1985 to 1991 and all I had was a soldering iron, a solder sucker, o-scope and voltmeter. They also provided a magnifying light. I got into network admin after 91 and never picked up a soldering iron again.

    I wondered if that spot was a missing a component at 9:00 when it was in the frame! I’m no expert at electronics by any stretch but this made me feel good. I definitely wouldn’t have thought of replacing it with a resistor, that’s genius. What an entertaining and well executed fix. Well done

    @robertpage2023 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Went back and monitored a couple of earlier videos where you couldn't fix the computer boards even after replacing components that either looked bad or showed up "hot" on the thermal cam.
    Your reason for the "no fix" on these was always deduced to be a CPU problem.
    I still wonder why you don't replace the CPU's on these boards.
    I know that there is a lot of intense soldering on these but I've seen you do that kind of soldering before with ease.
    Just looking for your answer to this question Sir.
    Thank you for all your great work!

    • @stanimir4197
      @stanimir4197 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      >I still wonder why you don't replace the CPU's on these boards.
      CPUs are expensive and hard to come by - you can't really buy them, so the only way to harvest is from boards for parts that are not guaranteed to have working cpus; He'd need the same family CPU at the very least - even then the bios might not support it, unless the cpu is exactly the same. Then the replacement of the cpu is a proper bga rework, which is time consuming and done on bga rework station. Before putting a working CPU he must be sure the board will not blow it up again.
      So overall - expensive, time consuming and not guaranteed to work and may blow up an expensive component, i.e. the CPU.
