As a Technician this is the best series that I have seen.
You are such a pleasent person to listen to, i could sit in your workshop with a cup of coffee and watch and listen to you all day!
im 13 and built my first system with no help just your videos when i was 12 and working really well for now
You did better than The Verge for sure lol
Nice work. I'm a tech too, and anticipated your every move. You're the real deal, and not a poser or a hardware seller like so many youtube "techs" are.
I did catch a goof, at 13:35, you forgot to plug in the monitor after you reseated the video card the first time. In the end it didn't matter, and you did have the monitor plugged in the spare video card.
It sure is nice to chase a ghost like this and then uncover the obvious defect like this. It's not always this easy, and you got my respect when you used all of the customer's other parts to fire up the new motherboard. That's how it's done by a pro. We even have the same cranky attitude regarding crummy cases and people asking for advice and ignoring it.
Again, that's some top quality troubleshooting and professional evaluation. Kudos.
+wirenutt57 Cheers!
+wirenutt57 Carey is the real deal, one of the best I ever come across.

I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to learn about
computer repair kit
try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my partner got excellent results with it.
I'm starting to think Carey does not like that particular case.
Atmos .yyyqz b.Rt
It does not matter what he likes, if the customer likes it then he has to deal with it. If he decides to voice his opinion that's just what it is his opinion.
If you like huge ITX/mATX cases for no good reason then Bitfenix is your best friend.
What gave you that idea?
+dropkick drunky
It is objectively a poor choice of case, and I can deduce this because of the many errors made with it. If he didn't want to service this case, he didn't have to.
The moral of the story, ALWAYS listen to Carey.
I have watched hours of your content now. I'm working on my first build and I'm really excited about it. I feel like after watching you, I can confidently follow along with your videos and get it put together correctly. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
This is a very educational and learning tool for we computer techs. This video is well worth watching. Carey, you do an amazing job of eliminating the source of the POST failure. In the end, that's what it's all about is process of elimination. Sweet!
Man, those components look really good with that Black and Orange Corsair 230T.
Your videos are superb. You are a true techy, not just some guy trying to sell snake oil.
The frustration on your face...wow....I can feel it ....I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. Very educational and I appreciate them.
I built my first gaming pc yesterday thanks to your videos. Nice job.
CareyHolzman Great video as usual. Proved to be extremely helpful to me two days ago. My brother bought a PC from a PC builder company and when it arrived, it would turn on but no video would output to a monitor. Since I'm a fan of your videos and am comfortable handling computer parts, I followed a similar approach to yours and found that one stick of RAM was not seated correctly and a simple reseating fixed the issue. Thanks Carey! It saved a potential big time waste sending things back and money having to pay for shipping between the company to get it checked.
There is no change on the monitor. Why? Because the monitor cable is not plugged in :) (I've done that like 100 times myself)
Medicfinland and yes, that did not solve the problem, but it is still quite funny ;)
Medicfinland I was thinking the same thing....
Great video Carey. I had a similar diagnostic issue with my own personal system. One morning the system was dead when I turned it on. I installed a new PS and it was good. Then a couple of weeks later, the same thing. I thought is must have been another bad PS. Installed another PS but this time nothing charged. Then I started eliminating different parts, like the memory, then the processor, and finally found it was the MB. This took me a couple of weeks because it was an old system and I had to find parts on ebay to try. A P4 processor cost me $7. To top it off, the first MB I bought on ebay, a used one, was also defective. It would not post. I emailed the seller and he agreed the MB was DOA and sent me another. Finally, after two weeks of trying multiple parts, my system was once again booting and running. Lessons were learned along the way though. At least I didn't have to contend with a lousy case :-)
This was a brilliant demonstration of your skills as computer technician as well as a teacher with entertaining qualities. Even though the video was quite long I wasn’t bored a second. Your voice and the way you talk reminds me of Johnny Cash or Elvis. Pleasant to listen to. Much respect of your work ethics and the fact that you don’t let such a customer hang in the wind. Chapeau. I am impressed. Keep on with the good work. Greetings from Germany.
Superb workmanship.
Great stuff Carey & all your uploads really fantastic!! You are the man!
Enjoyable and informative video! Gotta say the ASUS 1366 mobo I bought for my current computer (now 5yr old) came with two small gouges in the CPU socket. I noticed them as soon as the socket cover was lifted. In my late fifties at the time my eyes weren't and aren't the best for small details, but a magnifying glass confirmed the damage. Contacted NewEgg, who originally told me to send the board back, and to expect its replacement in circa three weeks. I explained that I had ordered the entire build from them (easily verified on their end) and that a three-week-plus wait would make it difficult to diagnose any other potential issues before the month grace period expired. They were kind enough (?) to cross ship. I had the replacement board two days later.
Thank you for uploading these, helps us all aspiring technicians
Such an awesome video Carey. I really enjoyed watching you work through the analysis of the problem (even though it was NOT fun for you, so thank you for that) and I found it extremely informative; I've always loved your videos... thank you sir.
Cary, I have been watching your videos on You tube. You have taught me a lot. I am 64 and enjoy working on my own computers. Thanks or the videos. Hunter.
Such a beautiful cable management in the orange case. Puts a smile on my face :)
Thanks Carey, for me this is a great insight into the process of elimination computer repair. I don't expect to be getting into the computer repair business. But thanks to your effort of letting us observe your builds. I have successfully built a great system of yours. "Feb2015 Gaming computer"
Great video!!. I really liked the process you followed.
Carey, your facial expression and overall demeanor at 48:30 is priceless. Past the point of silently swearing, past the point of thinking of ANYTHING other than this project, past the point of even considering doing this again. Just done! Good job. How many all-nighters do you have in a typical year?
Nice work Carey, very informative and helpful.
Nice job and I completely understand your frustration. I've been in that same situation more times than I can even remember
Thank You for coming back to the video i learn a lot.
Buy watching you video i learn how to build computers an have build
6 in a short time.
thank You.
I've been waiting for this video ever since you put up that teaser video. Awesome work as always Carey!
Hey Carey, I'm not sure but I get the impression you don't like that case lol
Reeeally cool video. I really wish I could work on computers all day long. I really appreciate you showing your diagnostic procedures in detail, Carey.
This is a very useful video, thank you.
Great video, always good to walk through the process and figure the solution.
As a novice I started out with a ATX build along with heavy research time for parts. As I began to do more builds for myself and family, I didn't have to do much research, thus saving me time.
Im glad I watched your videos as well. Only used brands you use and I see why. Thank you, you helped me build my first pc ever and it works.
Great job Carey, I liked the parts about self employment and picking your battles. Diagnostic videos are very interesting to watch.
Your videos are awesome. Always very informative. Your How to build videos helped me learn how to build my own system over 3 years ago keep it up as always!!!
Nice video..yeh what a nightmare PC case, I thought you might take it outside and back your truck over it! I love corsair cases, they are so user friendly. Thanks for showing the logical procedure of diagnostic and repair. I watch all your videos Carey, they are the best on youtube! I've learned so much watching them all.
Great videos Carey! Really enjoying them!
that"s how i exactly diagnosed computers here in the philippines.. the way you did
That was good to see. Thanks for recording that. I some day want to build my own system and I promise I will not use a case like that customer did. I fully plan to utilize cases you recommend because I'll be the one fixing it if it fails and I don't want to go through that.
Carey, thanks for the education.
Thanks for bringing us these helpful videos. Please keep making more diagnostic and repair vids please.
You picked a good case. That's based off of the 200r. I have a 230t as well just in black without the window. Good video btw :)
Great educational commentary. Thanks.
Best tech channel on youtube Carey, thanks.
super educational. i really appreciate all the videos you've made!
Good video, It is one of your best!! Thanks again for sharing it !!
awesome video carey nice fix and smart diagnostic
Very good. Well explained and well diagnosed. Thanks for educating me!
Another excellent video. Much appreciated!
Such an informative video! Learned so much :). I was always wondering how this process went. Sounds like a nightmare job, but man, that new case looks amazing. 1000x better than the old one you told them not to get ;P.
Man,this is great entertainment,a pleasure to watch; and we learn something; thanks!!
could watch this dude all day
Great video. I'm glad you left in the part where you're checking the monitor for signal not realizing the cable became unplugged. I am sure I've done that a few times. It's also great hearing you talk about computer repair and what you don't wanna work on. It reminds me of all the fun times I had in the business. Great stuff!
Love your videoes Carey! You're teaching me alot! :)
That is a very interesting video Carey. I really like your videos plus the NewEgg ones too. I have learned a lot watching you on both channels. I don't think I know even 10% of what I need to know. LOL. But I find it really interesting and I am learning a bit each time I watch these. These are really valuable videos for the average person to learn some things. I will subscribe and see if I can learn some more. Keep up the great work. I do want to say I really like how you describe things along the way. Both on your channel and also on NewEgg. Because not everybody is as technical as you.
That was in the days when Fry's actually carried a reasonable selection of components. Fry's Las Vegas had no in-store stock of components other than cases a month ago.
Rampage is their ROG line for Socket 2011 and 2011-3, Maximus is the ROG for 115x.
Holy moly, if that new case had a bit of white to it, that would be like the perfect Titanfall themed case.
Very informative video Carey. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe he should have made a comedy version of this where he goes to retrieve ever increasingly brutal weapons to take his frustrations out on that case... sledge hammer, chainsaw, gas cutting torch...
This is excellent. It gets to the point. Thanks.
Great Video Carey!
I've built in the same Corsair case, great case but the front fan filters are hard to clean. I screwed up cleaning the filter, and they started to catch the fans. Contacted Corsair and they sent a new front panel FOC. And that is why I will always use their cases from now on.
You're good man...love watching your videos.
As always,a fantastic educational video.Before this video,I was going to order and build a computer with that BitFenix case,But after watching how painful that is to work on,I decided to order a simple Fractal Design Core 1100 case,It wasn't a gaming build anyway,just regular pc,surf the internet and watch some youtube videos.
Great Job, thanks for the video!
Ah good old BitFenix Prodigy. A bloody PoS with tepid space utilisation for an ITX case. Beautiful on the outside, a pain in the arse to work with on the inside...
I remember loving the look of those Bitfenix cases when I was 14/15.
Being 24 now, wow I am happy I never bought those cases for my old PC.
There are power supply testers that puts load on the power supply, one brand is Sunmoon. However they are prohibitively expensive -- about $3,000 USD. I keep a spare PSU around for that reason.
Carey is a brilliant dude.
awesome video , thanks wish i still could do this stuff, being in a wheelchair, has hampered me, totally enjoyed
That build was really cool.
Another Awesome Video Carey (Y)
I love your videos man and i hope u will get more subscribers. Posting videos like PC repairing its amazing becaus you help us so much in this way :) Thank you!
I have two MSI cards identical to yours, one is a test card , the other flashed to work in an old Power Mac G5 tower, they are old but, good cards. as for the power switch I use a square panel that holds the power switch and leds that came out of a scrap tower. I had just a switch but the wires kept getting tangled, so I found a good panel that has worked wonders testing boards.
I see posts all the time where people will really question why others would buy a premade PC rather than build it them selves and I think this video is a great example of why.
Diagnosing a PC problem can be a real headache.
You pretty much need another computer with all compatible and working parts to test the faulty computer.
yeah *nodding my head*
Hey, great insight Carey. Hope you remembered to return the customer's Sherlock DVD :-)
I built my second build (my gaming pc) in this case. This case has huge flaws. I got a great deal on it though. I am upgrading to a Define R5 soon. I need a bigger case that I can put my pc in for generations of builds. Thankfully it's been running for 8 months, no issues.
Excellent. Very informative and entertaining. Thanks
You always make me laugh. keep up the great vids and i am sure you have had some videos like these on TH-cam back om the old TH-cam of 2009
Determining a motherboard/cpu is the problem is the worst.
***** Seems like it! Makes you have to literally undo the entire PC. And along the way, you have to rebuild things as well. Still, I guess it's better than a bad HDD (files are priceless!).
I want to know how those pins got bent,looks like it was working before. Did someone take the CPU out after it was built and just forced it back in?
+Drazen Graves also the fact they were just completely missing says something. i mean if there were just a few bent once thats relatively easily fixed with a toothpick.
Thanks ks for another great video Carey defo sounds like the customer or someone else with little experience attempted to fix it causing damage to the cpu socket pins at the cost of a new motherboard.
+Brian Harvey
you're one of only a couple of all these commenters to refer to the actual motherboard damage and offer an answer to bent pins on intel sockets..im a pc builder myself and ive been given about 3 x 1155 motherboards and an 1150 board with pin damage far worse than 1 or 2 bent..i had 15 bent pins on 1 board alone..an asus itx..i straightened them all-even the few that were flattened on the socket plastic and were crushed into angled steps..and the board boots fine now..it did take me several hours (with sewing needles and watch repair eyeglass) and carey hasnt got the time for that nonsense..time's money..i then went on to repair one of the other 1155 boards..with even more bent pins-1 pin out of the bunch did snap off unfortunately-but the board still boots and works everyday (socket 1154 now haha) after that my friend took the remaining boards and had the patience and skill to repair them more accurately..he's a master..a total pc fanatic..the guy who donates me them buys cheaply from ebay and has little idea how to set an intel lga processor in its socket the correct orientation without trial and error..i expect more boards in due course...specs
I like the look of this orange case. It grows on you! 😊
Very nice video, keep up the good work.
Excellent work man.
you are the deal man, nice work.
Video is long but it's worth watching like all of your videos.thanks for the informative video
nice work mate really like your videos keep it up .
I GIVE YOU CONGRATS ON THIS REPAIR!
Good stuff .. Sarcasm at its best
The guy who built this definitely goofed up. They probably put the CPU in last while the motherboard was already in the case.
nice troubleshooting man!
So how do you feel about that case? :) Great vid.
I'm addicted to this content. I read a book with similar content, and I'm absolutely hooked on it. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
Shorts in USB ports can really be detrimental to the function of the system, and I can attest to that. Once, when I visited my older brother and his friends in college, they had an Xbox 360 that suddenly refused to turn on, and happened to have a flash drive in it. The 360 made a noise when the power button was pressed, but it didn't actually do anything more. I can't really explain why, maybe it was a short in the flash drive (because the port looked fine) but it turned on when I removed the flash drive. Another time, in my own Xbox 360, the plastic bit inside came off without my knowledge, so when I plugged in my flash drive, the metal case shorted the exposed pins, so it did the same as the last one. I remembered the problem with the last one, removed the flash drive, and sure enough it worked fine then.
Great video. That case looks like a nightmare to work with. Been look into a new build for my folks so trying to look at all computer stuff related with cases involved. Worst case I have dealt with is a RAIDMAX Dirk-Tooth by Smilodon. Think I got that name right.
