Out of curiosity, why would someone press dislike on videos like these? This guy is doing something what the internet was made for, share knowledge. Praise this guy man!
best troubleshooting guide u can get from the official HP website: unplug ur charger and remove ur battery, try swaping RAM, if that doesn't work buy a new motherboard from this link ..
Hi there , at 09:46 , you explained because of short to ground we can inject the power to any ceramic capacitor to find the short , just i wanted to say big thankyou for your explanation, because i though that we must inject power to the specific capacitor !!!! i saw a lots of video but they didn't explain exactly how to inject the power on the mainboard .but your explanation was easy , perfect and clear. thankyou for all your explanation in your videos . Thank you for spend time for us to make a tutorial video . please make more like this video with a good and perfect explanation .
Few days back my hp laptop went totally dead , no light, no display but thankfully i watched your previous videos on finding sort using voltage injection and i was able to find the faulty capacitor and bring my laptop back to life...thank you so much your video helped me save couple of bucks 😊
This type of detective job is the best content in my opinion! Finding the problem, investigating the connected areas, and concluding the exact location. Excellent job! I ordered a power injection tool a week ago and super excited to receive it -- hoping to use it to fix a couple of pokemon games!
I love how after so many years of fixing, you're always getting this nice smile after a fix. Beautiful too see this passion. Big up to you and your team.
Your methodology of repairing is super duper cool. 1. Check connectivity. 2. Using Thermal Cam spot any overheating components. 3. Identify the cause of error and fix it 4. Job Done
i like what you did today, its like teaching at school where to trace those traces going and when to used voltage injection.. hope you can do this in your future videos
The things I appreciate most about your videos is the methodology and logic you use. Logic is so rare nowadays and most people just don't seem to know how to think their way through a problem. Your videos clearly show how doing so works and why an immediate emotional response is rarely the proper way to tackle a problem. Thanks again for another great video.
I am learning so much from your channel Alex, particularly when you show how to follow the traces/pads to the fault. I have always found this quite difficult before but with your explanations I am finding it a lot easier to follow. Please keep explaining following traces/pads. Thank you for all your fantastic videos.
I accidentally crossed one of my USB peripherals with 12V and my HP laptop died instantly. I have always done my own repairs but rarely on a laptop MB so your videos are a huge confidence builder so when I go into my MB I have confidence. Thank you.
Once I wanted to buy a Spectre with charging issue. The seller said it's just a connector problem, but after seeing many videos from you, I knew it's a totally different issue. We also learn from your videos.
I want a thermal cam. And a voltage injector. And a microscope and ring light. Love these videos, brilliantly done as always. One cap, takes down whole laptop. Wonder how many electronics in landfill just because a cap has shorted….. Bravo Alex, keep up the great work and videos 💪👌
Just found this channel yesterday, and I haven't stopped watching it! Can't wait for something of mine to break so I can try to search for the issue. I really appreciate that OP repeats things he's surely said in earlier videos (like what type of flux he's using). So please keep that up for us noobs. My question - is there a video that shows an example of how to setup this short circuit search? The way I understand it, is voltage is being injected somewhere and a continuity test is being done. I'm looking for a noob version of this - where to inject the voltage, what to set the multimeter to, etc? In the meantime, I'll keep watching and cheers for this awesome channel!
Nice victory! for the cap find! Always feels like a victory when you find the short and fix something. Keep up the good work! With a job like this it almost feels like playing detective, it does not feel like work.
What would you do without a thermal cam? Looking for a needle in a haystack for sure. Great video on how the find a problem methodically. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Hi there , first it was perfect diagnosis without schematics, and second it was very good you explained how to read and fallow the path on the motherboard, please upload more like video , how to follow track and path to find the issues without schematics . your explanation is so easy and awesome. thnx
The importance of having a good quality thermal camera. Just a contribution for anyone, sometimes a short doesn't produce enough heat to be detected, in these cases you could try the Kelvin method (4 wire), search for that. Nice job as always. Peace.
Whn you said "that's it, bord is fixed", i understood "that's it, northridge fixed" :))) anyway, this can be said after every successful and clean repair, like a mantra🤟😎.
Very useful info. Describing your train of thought helps tons to people who haven't spent so much time doing this...like me :). ERB channel is a little too "basic" and never pursues an actual fault to conclusion, while other more advanced channels just assume damn near everything is second nature to the audience.
i love what you're doing everyday i watch your video i see my self i love fixing electronics but your ideas are challenging me i wish i had opportunity to have the experience you have and equipment like yours i will go far in Machine diagnosis and troubleshooting and repair watching from kenya And linking from kenya more love sir from kenya
Excellent work brother 👍🏼 and thanks for sharing me I'm a mobile phone repairing mechanic Your channel is my institute and you are my teacher i'm from india 😂😂😂
After follozing you for a time, i juste do my first real repair even :) i was a efi chip desoldering /programing / soldering for a macbook air a1466 emc 2632, and now it works. by the way it was olso my first macbook opening, o i ripped to small connector that i olo fixed. Thanx alex
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❤️🇵🇭
Great work I love your vids. I especial love it when you get a troublesome device fixed and you can see that you are genuinely happy with getting it fixed. It reminds me of something my grandpa used to say “you can teach a man a job and he will work for a living. Or the smart man makes something he loves his career and he will never have to work. He will go to play and get paid for it. Which do you chose?”
Thx for sharing. My short hunting is a little different. I use a current injection of about an amp and measure the voltage drop along the trace. This will guide you as to which path to take when the trace forks.
Amazing work, Bravo Bravo , its really crazy to see people throw away a whole board just because they could not fix it and all the issue is a damn small capacitor.
Out of curiosity, why would someone press dislike on videos like these? This guy is doing something what the internet was made for, share knowledge. Praise this guy man!
become too good is also a crime for dislike;
Bots , haters , etc. I always find channels like that.
Some do just for fun even if they like what they see. Some weird "i'm cool brain damage thing" i guess, anonymity grows interesting fruit sometimes.

Excellent diagnosis without schematics always learning something new everyday. Thanks

brings me happiness seeing you being happy everytime you fix a customers item!
I'm just a hobbyist but these videos have helped me learn how to troubleshoot problems. Thanks man

The best repair Chanel around this TH-camrs channel . God bless you and give you more
Time is money. Working smart always gets the job done. Another splendid video.
Your methodology of repairing is super duper cool.

You are a real inspiration for me and I'm sure everyone else who watches and enjoys your journey.
You sure love your job !
That big smile when all was fixed
is admirable !!

It's fun to see you when you find the problem and fix it. BIG smile!
It’s refreshing to see the satisfied expression on your face after you troubleshoot and make repairs! Keep the great content coming and thank you.
Working like a detective.. trace the line and captured the culprit ... Learning something new .. ❤️❤️
Look at that, better than factory!……. The Job is done! 💯💪🏻🙏🏻 Mr Alex you are truly the best!
Great Work. Voltage injector and thermal cam saved the day.
Probably the only channel where we hit "Like" even before watching the video🙂
Once again I learned something new.... I still don’t know how to inject voltage, but I’m improving with yours videos. Thanks again

My day start this good! Watching quality content.
Nicely don again. My wife loves his smile when he figured it out.
I accidentally crossed one of my USB peripherals with 12V and my HP laptop died instantly. I have always done my own repairs but rarely on a laptop MB so your videos are a huge confidence builder so when I go into my MB I have confidence. Thank you.
And after you screw up you can sent it to Alex 🤣🤣
I didn't know much about electronics repair before starting whatch this channel, know I feel a lot better. 🙏
Always feel happy like you after repairing something by my own hand.
I like to see the joy in your eyes when you fix something. I know that feeling.
Once I wanted to buy a Spectre with charging issue. The seller said it's just a connector problem, but after seeing many videos from you, I knew it's a totally different issue. We also learn from your videos.
Thank you Alex for once again showing us your troubleshooting skills in realtime. You are a master at your craft sir! Fred
Hello from Russia! It's nice to watch the intellectual work! You are a neat master, I like your work.
NorthridgeFix ... Better than factory YT channel
Awesome technique. This guy is good at his job and passionate.
I've learnt a lot from you, i know one day I will equip my workshop and do an excellent job just like you. "Mwenyezi Mungu akujalie baraka zake"
Built a PC today, was fun, now a NorthRidgeFix video! 😄
I am impressed by the voltage injection pin point the culprit with the help of a thermo camera. Brilliant!
I want a thermal cam. And a voltage injector. And a microscope and ring light. Love these videos, brilliantly done as always. One cap, takes down whole laptop. Wonder how many electronics in landfill just because a cap has shorted…..
Bravo Alex, keep up the great work and videos 💪👌
im not that excellent in electronics but the way i look your at your smile means that device will serve another year to its owner thank you!
Your job get easy by having right tools. Really awesome to see your videos and diagnose the problem within a mintues.
What a good investigation of short....well done Alex

I would definitely watch your channel everyday.
What would you do without a thermal cam? Looking for a needle in a haystack for sure. Great video on how the find a problem methodically. Thank you for sharing your experience!
couple options, spray it with isopropyl and look for where it boils quickly, or feel around with your hand
Hi there , first it was perfect diagnosis without schematics, and second it was very good you explained how to read and fallow the path on the motherboard, please upload more like video , how to follow track and path to find the issues without schematics . your explanation is so easy and awesome. thnx
Always a pleasure to see professionals at work!
Finding the cap is actual job which is shorting the other components, great work, sir 😊

Masterful work Alex. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work my friend. Awesome !!
A great start to a Sunday with one of your videos !

So good watching the process step by step.. thankyou for sharing, Sir.
Investigative work is always the most fun part of the repair. 👌👍
Excellent troubleshooting Alex.
It is fascinating to watch the process of tracking down an issue. I really enjoy your content, well done!
Amazing work, Bravo Bravo , its really crazy to see people throw away a whole board just because they could not fix it and all the issue is a damn small capacitor.
Journey to the center of the board: the hidden shorted cap
Excellent job greeting from a brother from a small city in ballkans, Tetova
Kind regards Loki
Great approach
Great deduction
And fixed... Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm learning something new everytime I watch your videos. Thank you for the great content.
Yay, another video! Happy Sunday!
The smile on fixed device... never gets old 😁
Great job Alex doing a well done job 👏
You did a great job saving the world!
