    Wow most would of given up on this I think, but not Sorin. Getting that tiny track half way down the layers exposed and then micro soldering was very skilful. Learning so much from these videos ...Excellent repair! 👍

    • @billyjames9861
      @billyjames9861 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The first person who soldered the charging port didn't do it correctly - IE: There was no solder in the two tiny holes - Sorin told himself for some mysterious reason that this laptop has no charger ID Pin - But it did/has - All he had to do was put solder into those two tiny holes and solder the charging port back properly.

    • @g4z-kb7ct
      @g4z-kb7ct 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

  • @JustInspiredKent

    For the past 5 years I've been watching this Channel, this is by far the hardest repair I've seen. I mean how am I to know Gate and source are allowed to shorted together for some strange reasons.
    I'm really glad you were able to retrace your steps and fix the laptop. This repair is made for legends only not for people like us.
    I'm sure the mobo designer was biting his finger hoping don't find that ID pin. 😂

    Just revived my dead SPA942 IP phone thanks to binge watching Sorin for the last few years. I opened the board and found that the phone received only 3.5V from the 5V 1.2A adapter. So I took my bench supply and fed the phone 5V 1.2A and the phone worked perfectly. Took an old micro USB adapter, rewired and my IP phone works like new and my adapter now has a longer cable and more wattage. Thank you Sorin!

  • @sp_charles24
    @sp_charles24 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I accept your words (14:30 - 17:00) as a technician. We are at a heavy risk each time, we encounter a repair where something might go wrong beyond our control. I too was charging a very low price for repairs. As you said, I did not value my repair skills, I was charging lower prices. If a dead motherboard is received for repair we need not worry about the mistakes that we make while repairing, cuz, it is already in no power condition. Recently, I received a laptop that works fine only the problem was the DVD drive was not detected. Usually, I'm very careful in handling motherboard with voltages, I don't step my foot on the ground while checking with voltage. However, when I tried to measure the voltage on the DVD SATA connector of 5V Run power. The probe mistakenly slipped and shorted 5VS supply line and data line of SoC. The result was a catastrophe. High voltage with high current hit SOC. Now I have to replace the SOC or motherboard. I was really upset about the mistake and costs me 300$ to change SOC. After watching your video I realized, that I should charge high for these repairs depending on the expensiveness of the laptop. Thanks for your advice

    This is exactly the computer I want to buy when I go to university. I was so scared when you started drilling into the board looking for something you didn't know existed. Can you explain the differences between Rosin, Flux, solder paste, and when/why you use them. Most other people use the Amtech NC-559, have you used that?

  • @Al-xj2oo
    @Al-xj2oo 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hey sorin, just curious what is the purpose of the "comeback" MOSFET?
    P.S. Wow sorin just wow. The trick you did with heating up possible associated drivers of that problem mosfet, to increase the resistance of the circuit and seeing how that effects the short between the gate/drain - blew my mind.

    One of my last jobs before I moved from the US was an older man with a dead bios battery in a laptop, you could see the battery removing the hard drive cover, but you couldn't get to it.
    I told him $70, and I would split the case, replace the battery and repast CPU and clean the fan, he got all upset and said,"that's outrageous".
    Handed him his laptop and said thanks for stopping by. (gtfo) politely. People are interesting, that's a fact.

    It must surface somewhere nearby, or go to one of the power control chips?

  • @GregM
    @GregM 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Whenever one mentions low melt solder I think of solder that has high bismuth content and remains liquid and aids in removing charging ports etc. Low melt solder has less lead and should not be used as final soldering since it is more brittle than normal solder. For ports I would get rid of all the old solder put the port in and ensure it is siting flush with the board. That way you ensure that the solder on the ground legs flow all the way through and makes a secure bond with both sides of the board. Maybe it is just me.

    Poor repair people are the bane of my life and they cause more problems than they solve. I've had countless laptops come in for repair that have melted or missing bits and I have to show the customer the problem before I start any repairs. I have even returned some machines because the damage caused by previous repairs is so bad. I always charge for repairs and I'm not cheap on my hourly rate but I am careful and I am fairly good after 20+ years in the business. I still get the odd surprise every now and again but most fixes follow a pattern I've seen at one time or another.

    • @johnbaker26

    Awesome job, frustrating but your perseverance paid off. The wire on the charging port seems a bit fragile, maybe an idea would be to see where it is connected to on the pcb (I do this searching with one probe on the point I know so this would be the track you exposed, and put the other probe in a ball of copper wire wool and touch the pcb part by part till I find continuity) and solder the wire to that point.
