"The Board is Begging me to use a Wire..."🤣
It's a proper callibrated one so it's fine 😂
If number on the MOSFET is ending on 2,4,6,8 then it's a channel N, if is on 1,3,5,7,9 then it's a channel P MOSFET
We know that. My guess is Sorin though the previous shop, fitted the wrong mosfet
because of a hardjob I watched all ads without skipping
The Highest Lvl of repairment i've ever seen on Sorin's channel. Welldone Sir Sorin.
Bro you haven't seen the ASUS desktop motherboard with a missing component he repaired some time back,it was insane
Agree. Best repair ever !
sorin does not have enough subscribers for this kind of high level repair.you wont find many of these kinds of technicians.thanks sorin.
that was very hard job, the customer should have said what was done to the board, so you wont confuse yourself and loose precious time... in this repair you needed a lot of tools and knowledge to have it done, without the battery analyzer you probably would have not fixed the laptop, good job master Sorin!
It's comparable to medicine. A new doctor needs to know what has been done previously and why, before ordering new medication or changing existing prescriptions.
Customer don't know what was done to the board.
@@Struktualnyjat least customer can say it's been to other shop or someone tried to repair it
@@maklogetrich2378 he wrote that it was in another shop and they tried to replace the mosfet but failed in repair.
You should noticed the customers (before starting your repair) that if you find evidence of someone previously worked on the laptop the price of the repair will increase, and more, you have video evidence of that so you should be protected.
In my case, i would like to know how much time you spend on the repair and be charged acordingly. Nice work 👌
What a hard repair! I like your job and your mood: you work slow, using your experience and your brain, without jumping to conclusions. Nice attitude!!
Thought for a second the next video would start with “ok, so today we have a proper nice microscope”.
I’m still wondering what he did with the pliers 🤣🤣
😂
😂
Great repair work Sorin. I was happy you got the job done after spending so much time. Your patience and attitude towards completing this repair is something to admire. Your videos inspire alot. Thank you.
Wow, what a battle. Been watching for well over a year now and am constantly impressed with your tenacity and ingenuity. Really enjoyed the breakdown at the end. You’ve spent a lot of time and therefore money too, but also you have highlighted the pain of taking on stuff that has been butchered before. Still, you did it ! Thanks for sharing your journey
This board has not been worked on is understatement. This board was used as a one night stand by previous cowboy.
Yes Sorin you will lose when someone worked on the board before, but after watching so many of your video's I think there is a part in Sorin that likes a challnge and doesn't give up easily and it's pretty obvious this part won in todays video. But don't worry there is still plenty of easy pizza's on the laptop repair menu in the future! This one may have cost you time, but it's still a learning experience. Also maybe a tip and try to prepare some contra battery connectors with wires instead of hooking the battery straight on the reader, might save you from having those weird battery pins not properly connecting faults.
That was an absolute adventure! Lot of things learned. Thanks!
So much energy deployed. Thank you 🙏
This one was a wild ride. Real interesting - thanks for sharing
Thank you master sorin
Sorin, Great job as always.
Great job Sorin!
great job , we need more like this video
perfect calibrated fuse, Mr. Sorin thank you so much..
Great Job Master ! High end level repair, as always . Cheers !
Long and tricky one, but what a satisfaction in the end!!! Amazing job👏🏻👏🏻
Dude your a laptop genius! Love your videos!
so i watched the full video. im impressed you have so much patience. i am also in the field of electronics repair, but that was such a mess. props to you for reviving this device. well done
Bravo Sorin for you tenacity, humility and determination! Thank you for sharing!
I think this is one of the best videos in your collection! Congratulations Sorin!
Simply wonderful
Great job Sorin. It wasn't that long ago when you used the battery analyzer and it also messed up the pins and was giving you problems diagnosing why it wasn't charging.
Bravo Sorin ❤❤
Wow Sorin you certainly know your stuff, I really enjoyed the video thank you so much 😊
you're a magician 😮 what an amazing job 👍
Great job albeit learned from mistakes and your perseverance to success. Humble in the process and good learning for all.
Good job mate
Hey boss, great video, amazing skills and yes you should charge more- people will pay for knowledge
A tip on hownto handle pricing in such situations
We own a repair shop and we never provide a quoted to the customer prior to final diagnoztics
Yes- you need to work hard to find out if it's fixable or not but only once we are 90% sure we can fix a motherboard we will contact the customer with pricing
To begin with- we always give a range foe pricing and explain that price difference is in time and parts we need to replace
Customers do understand especially when the computer price is expensive- they rather pay 200-600$ then buying a 2000$ laptop or more
U r too humble, and should start enjoying yiyr skills
Time is money
As simple as it sounds
U can do 10-15 repairs per month and receive laptops from all around the world
Save the energy on customer that don't like to pay, have more time off and more money per repair
U deserve much more respect
Cheers boss
Love your video
We learn a lot form u

Great video a lot to learn i recommend it. Thank you sorin.
Very clever fellow ,as the board had many problems ,Well done .
BIG regard for uncle!
I don't take computers that others have worked on where the repair was not successful. Way too many uncertainties. Fantastic job Sorin! That was the most advanced component level repair I have ever seen! 😮
what if they lie to you and you discover after they leave, you tell them that you discovered someone worked before, and they say you lie. Problematic indeed.
@@orange11squaresyou just say “sorry can’t be fixed”
@@moldo8811 interesting , might be a good way out without to much details.
You have good patience with your customers.
Amazing, great, great, great work!
Really this laptop is a very hard job but with your patience you have done it. Excellent work 🎉
I am glad you fix it i watched the hole vídeo.. no Wonder the chop gave up.. also i bet it feals good that you have fixe it.. saying that i was in london last may went to a repair store they had your vídeos on the lCD brilhante ..wish you well
god of repair, gj sorin you win 💪
Real King.
excellent video - loved the fact that the board had Master Sorin's trousers down lol - More of these difficult ones please buddy.
Thank you so much for this video, realy interesting.
Amazing video
Great educational video taking on a laptop already worked on. Never see charging of the non rechargeable bios battery before😀See you on the next one.
This time the laptop was dodging the repair. Hard one indeed, the battery analyser was also necessary this time. Proper calibrated job Sorin! Well done
Nice video!!! Thank you
great Job !
thank you,
I have this laptop, it's a beast and gets hotter than my oven even with a fan spinning like an airplane engine!
First day of using it the BIOS update killed the machine completely and had to send it back for repairs.
just a hard job ! with no "we have picture !" to make you smile :-)) you are the best
wonderful job...
Bravo Sorin. We know you loose time, but we like to watch challenging repairs like this one. Quick repairs with shorted caps are boring to watch.
@sorin One the beginning you should check if on input circuit on the MOSFETs if 2 the gates has continued, and then you will realize that the 2 MOSFETs was channel N, because the two gates was link 🔗 together. That was you first mistake... 😅 And the job will be much shorter... Thanks for sharing your knowledge... greattings from Portugal 🇵🇹 🌟
good job
Great Job Sir. Love for Bhutan
Ahahaha you kill me with "Here is a perfectly calibrate fuse !"
very good video Sorin! You can analyze the device before giving a price, and charge a repair attempt fee, in cases like this where someone has already attempted repairs on this device, it is up to the customer to decide to risk the repair.
wow this one you doing great..👏👏👏 this one is the best challenging fix...your the best..👏👏👏 best 🍕 pizza 🍕 ever ...
Repairs with too many faults factors are very difficult to tackle. good job.
Great detective work and hopefully you replaced the "properly calibrated battery fuse" with a boring uncalibrated but proper fuse.
These kind of customer issues are easiest to resolve ahead of time.
Inform the customer ahead of time that flat rate depends on the condition that it had not been worked on previously and if previous work is discovered the customer will be contacted to decide either the labor rate becomes an hourly charge (with a cap) or the laptop is returned without attempt to repair.
Hahaha Sorin should never retire, you make my day lol, this Board is begging me😂😂😂😂
A very interesting video, thank you. That's the thing with these tricky faults: I understand that you are getting frustrated considering how little money you can charge for this job. But for your TH-cam-channel, it might be a good thing. The video is more interesting and you can show off your skills. I hope this video is going to do well.
that screw shorted on mainboard, that's very very often seen on lenovo notebooks
Very well Job , Waww🔥
Hello🤝OMG insane repair master it's only one Sorin👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🍕
Now this is a proper electronic repair job. 😁
Great Lesson @1:05:00 about DOUBT setting in. Bear this in mind.
Most times I will always check charging mosfet and charger chip when no charging.
I want that battery checker thou, it's just too much for the amount of batteries I would need to repair.
As for previous work jobs, I do a bench check (charge a fee) and usually NO, if the re-work was bad or charge extra!
That was an adventure
17:19 LOL! Thanks for the laugh Sorin!
Yessss, i like loong videos.
proper hard job
Hi, definetely it is best always to call customer and tell about findings like previus repairs to avoid any issues and also disguss the price for the job and extra risks. Every single customer trying to make it cheapest and will go much more dodgy than just using a wire :)))
good work Sorin, BUT what about RTC/bios battery at 1:00:25 ? you left it empty, on a expensive gaming laptop? now the client will deal with cleared bios settings all the time?
That battery should be replaced (if this is a standard battery) or charging circuit should be fixed (if this is a chargeable battery and the circuit is not charging). LOL
Ok this is a nice laptop with top notch quality
Boss from the beginning it was wrong to charge a LENOVO battery without id pin from the charger and was not charging cuz the fuse from battery then the second mosfet that what burn the BQ chip cuz you fix the battery fuse already that what make the whole confusen , As always thank you very much we learn from you evey time 💐💐
:)))))) I was waiting for the "perfect calibrated fuse".
am new generation laptop repair good job orgi love from somalia
Try to use spring probe, on that MBL for battery. Terminals are too big obviously, if you can get those probes they have springs and will not damage any connector. You can use literally clothespin, to catch connector from battery and put probe on it.
Hello. What do you do if screws are stuck not turning?
It always happens that a job that took 10 minutes to solve (as in the video of that HP laptop with loose pins on the SODIMM channel) would turn into another job that takes hours to solve and fix.
I think you should introduce a charge for laptop that has been repaired before especially if the customer says that it hasn't been
It's always a tough repair when you have multiple faults and you're coming in after someone else has tried to repair the laptop before. I'm lucky having well over 100 schematics so I can always find a similar model even if I don't have the exact model. I charge hourly and not "per fix" so I'm not worried how long a job takes but there's a point at which a laptop becomes too expensive to repair, in that case I advise the customer to take it somewhere that does a fixed rate repair or I'll stop charging my hourly rate and continue the repair for free after my original charge. I don't need the money so I'm lucky in that respect, not everyone is able to do that.
Some circuits are designed such, you can not fault trace it 😊
Sorin to Micriscope - Say hello to my little friend 💀
time stamp 53:00 The BQ24780s does not supply input mosfets with gate voltage it`s done by the ThinkEngine chip, The bq24780s is only for charging
yeah also he had still 3.8v with the new BQ, is it possible that chip detects if mosfet is off the board and it wont send the signal driving it?
♥
please i need to know the name
of that machine that reads the current/voltage/mhn
Come on Sorin, we have a rule "do not use a screw if you can use a wire" :))
Faithful schematic diagram? For this specific model and manufacturer? Does it correspond to the mainboard? If all three answers are YES...
41:55 maybe because that shorted second mosfet is shorted so I guess that BQ chip is blown due to mosfet is shorted.
sorin with rosin
i think if you fix the fuse before using the NLBA it will unlock the battery.
Eid Mubarek ❤
Eid Mubarak! :))
Eid Mubarek brothers and sisters 💓
Sometimes I do have jobs where someone worked before me... and most times its some kind stupid mistakes to fix.
