wow that was some fast reflexes there Sorin.. I slowed the vid way down to see the fire and smoke but your hand just disappeared.. You see this is why I wait to work on a lap top.. you have taught me so much already.. but here is a tricky one.. so much to learn.. and being 68 I learn a bit slower than I used to.. thanks Sorin.. for not giving up on your teaching channel when it would be so easy to do so.. I appreciate you and your efforts very much..
Hello Sorin. Happy to see you again. I've learnt a lot from you here. And I begun to repaiir electronic stuffs. First Dead Proline TV repaired one week ago: Broken fuse, two broken AC to DC bridge diodes, one 0.03 ohm resistor, one 470 ohm smd resistor, one 1kv ceramic capcitor, finally the R36 6 pins control chip ( the only component bought from ebay, 10 pieces R36 for 2.5 us$, waitted for 10 days). Thx a lot and see you soon.
Love the videos! My personal favorite are the 1hr work-flow videos. With your help, I've been able to fix quite a few things, and I'm eager for more! As a quick story, would you believe I purchased a $1500 laptop for $400 that wouldn't boot, randomly boot if left running for 10 minutes with a BIOS reset error, and function just fine until powered off again. Ended up being a replacement BIOS battery that had the wire polarity reversed! Can't make these things up... Also can't overlook the simplest things. Thanks again Sorin, and keep up the good work!
thanks Sorin, I have one of these crappy ones. Gonna try and fix it by watching your videos. Thanks for your time and explanation, it's very much appreciated!
I had a mishap which was similar to this as one of my first laptop motherboard repairs. I plugged in the charger and a capacitor popped, smoked up and started glowing red. My first instinct wasn't to unplug the charger, but to instantly try to stab the capacitor off of the face of the board with my test leads. All alone I was sooo embarrassed with myself. I cried that night. and retired from board repairs for a while. Thanks so much for this video. I'm motivated and reminded myself not to be a bitch and to not give up. Also not to forget about continuity/diode mode. I hope to do BGA repairs one day.

I always learn something from Sorin's videos and im greatful that he takes the time to share this knowledge with us. But without proper training, we cannot learn correctly since we are not taught the fundamentals. We need lessons to learn the right procedure and what to look for when we open these devices up. Maybe when Sorin feels better he can start up his lessons again. 😅
12:54 - take a look at the right bottom. When the mosfet blows up, then after the smoke, you will see "liquid". It is coming from that place on the board. Mosfets don't have any liquid things inside, so from where that liquid is come from? What it is? So llook on the chassis/cover close to that place- Do you see that " line" , that shiny spot? it is like a mark of dry liquid. If there was no hard drive, then it means the user opene the laptop before, then took out the hard drive and maybe wash and clean the cover from liquid damage and then later pretend that nothing happend. Some of that liquid stay left on the board under the cover, and client (and also sorin) didn't notice that. Maybe that is why that liquid made a short on the first mosfet, then after that it blows up the second mosfet (as you said on the video) Is it possible?
thinking, why not temporary bridge the 2nd mosfet with a 'test mosfet' or low current rated thermal trip/fuse, in a holder that clips in place, to continue with power rail voltage tests ?
Funny Sorin quote of the day: _"Based on the smoke [ sniff ], it's a semi-conductor!"_ It's not the first time Mr. Sorin uses his nose to identify the type of burned-out component.
Noone wonders why it disappointingly does NOT start with the bridged first MOSFET and plugged charger, but surprisingly starts whith the buttery plugged in? 27:11
I don't understand that if that fet is shorted how the motherboard is powered on even though another mosfet is removed because that shorted mosfet gets input from the 2nd mosfet of 19v power section(from current sensing resister).
oh man, you amaze me , lol, taking out that super io chip in less than 10 seconds and replace it , whithout cleaning , i tryied some times with dead boards and i still can not do it so clean, darn , i need more practice and dead boards , lol, greetings from Argentina
Sorin, wonderful stuff once again. I have learned very much from you. How come you are still using your old soldering iron? What happened to the TS100 or was 80?
my wife had open heart surgery during mine -- but i felt that I could not repair the issue and i searched you had no videos on removal of a growth inside her heart, damn-it man you don't do open heart surgery either?
I am worrying right now, My lenovo laptop is smoking through front bottom track pad side and some coming out of keyboard buttons. When I am putting charging on after that lights not turning on and It smokes!!! What Should I do?
Was that factory flux or some liquid around the burnt mosfet? and how strange the laptop came on just after you plugged the battery but that was before replacing the mosfets
Hi Mr. Sorin. Thank you for your TH-cam videos, which make me want to learn electronics. 2 things from watching your videos: A) I am a little confused as to when and how to use diode mode: what do the numbers in the readings--like: zero, or some other number--mean? And also, how is diode mode different from continuity mode? Note: One use of diode mode I remember was to identify the power supply to the ene and/or bios chips (AFTER removing power sources to the board). And continuity to ground ( with the beep ) was used to confirm a short to ground past a set of open mosfets. Diode mode is still not super clear to me, though... Can diode mode be used instead of a continuity check? B) Lastly, with tiny SMD components, how can you tell which one is a capacitor vs. a resistor? Sometimes, they are so small, it is hard to tell them apart... Are SMD resistors always black, and SMD capacitors always beige? Also, if the SMD component has shorted, and you don't have access to schematics, how do you know what to replace it with? Note: as you indicated, in the case of capacitors, they are often used in parallel, so removing the failed one, or simply "jumping" it, might be ok. Also, as you said, there are plenty other capacitors downstream to take the load of the missing one... But for resistors, can we just run a wire instead of a failed resistor, or must it imperatively be replaced with a working one with the same rating?
Hi Sir.I have a Lenovo G550 working great with Batery .But not working with the charger.i have another lenovo were i charge the batery.Whats is the problem?
I shorted my t61 thinkpad. I replaced the fuse and have no 19v coming out of it or on the rail. The charging port is tested good. When I check mosfetts for voltage they give variable readings. Does that mean that they are blown? Thanks to anyone who can help.
Hello, i think my Lenovo G40-80 isnt getting cpu/ram core voltage properly but i dont know how to check. My symptoms are: 1. When i press power button, only power LED lits up but nothing happens (like cpu fan spinning), with battery the same, power+batt led lits up only. 2. Adapter working fine, delivering 19-20V through all power mosfets , tried different power supplies. 3. Battery is charging when i connect power jack. 4. No AC adapter+only battery, and only AC adapter+no battery - tried both combination,still nothing. 5. No shorts in the primary things (mosfets, caps etc) Any suggestions?
As usual amazing job Sorin. 👍, Just I have quick question, why ALWAYS there are two Mosfets in each power supply with the coil and resistor on the motherboard, I reviewed couple of your videos on Mosfets but still i did not get it, Why always Mosfets comes in two first one output is the second one input (in serial).
I have the same problem with the lenovo g50 89 the black on but I put maybe about 20 volt with different charger couse I dont have so get litle bit fire from side where u put tu the stick so now the pc laptot is dead and smelling from the baterri some shit
@@TheBarkinaksoy I think any of the yoga's that charge thru the usb c port. From what I have seen the USB port has one 6v pad and a 18v pad next to each other. If the charger end gets pushed sideways then the 6v pad can contact the 18v pad. This shorts the USB C controller and takes the processor on the way. There is a newer USB C controller chip out that will just turn off if this happens but there are still a lot of those older chips in laptops out there. How aggravating it is to replace the USB controller chip only to find out that the processor is shorted too. Thats my take on this situation.
Yes there is a mosfet which has 19 volt input and output 5 volt. I was just measuring the gate pin with multimeter on voltage mode. And it shorted all usb power chips burned. And io chip burned also cpu became shorted. If all yogas are like that. I will stay away from yogas. Just bad design.
hello sorin. nice too see u again. wish you best. i have question, need your help. i have HP pavilion dv6 laptop. touchpad not working. already changed with new one but not working. 100% Sure its not driver and its not on/off think.... please help me if u can. and i have another laptop board somethis is shorted in cpu area but nothing is getting hot with even 5 amp... please answer if u can. love u too much anyway :*

One week off, and all your subscribers felt it, terrible to have no videos for a week :-) Glad you back and hope that you had a good vacation.
Sorin, you made me happy, that you fixed that board
very nice repair, this video is refreshing in its repair style
Very good job, to recover your health and thanks for the master class. Greetings from Argentina.
You really are a very patient clever lad Sorin...

Thanks to you I already know how to repair the old power connector. Thanks and I hope to give it.
The fire was awesome , felt like in a James bond movie héhé , keep up the good work .
Sorin it would ve great if you could post a video on repairing laptop chargers.
hey there sir, i'm new her. I am laptop tech , a beginner one. your video help a lot on me. thanks.
Sir i love your videos, thanks for share your knowledge, i fix a k53 thanks to you. i will always be grateful for that.
That was crazy. Nice repair
very nice mr. sir. 👍
Sorin,
What was that you are burning the board 😂😂😂 great fix thank you for the great work you are still the best 🙏
Was a good idea to check for shorts BEFORE putting 20V after the mosfet...
Well, you found more easily the problem...
so are mosfets pretty interchangeable between boards?
great job here Sorin

Is it possible?
this liquid is hot solder
Hy Sorin, nice to see you again. Maybe the charger of the customer is not working
Felicitari ptr ceea ce faci

hi if its ok i will make a bridge instead of replacing the mosfet? cause i cant find any mosfet like that..
exultant teacher always something to learn
your vidio is very very good , but i went to ask what materials need as bigninar
great fix on video
I have the 3 blinking lights when plugged in,, does not charge, trying to find a solution.
Thank you good video

I don't know the answer for your question.
Two mosfet means;
1- more current can pass
2-more dissipate can heat goes
Love this channel ^^ it is electrical miracle haha
I have a Toshiba m305 powering on and sating battery not detected
Great video, but a question: why does the Si4800B mosfet have 4 drain pins and 3 source pins? Is that just to provide extra connection locations?
It's to provide extra current fo fet. That's why gate has only one, small current.
mostly the problem of the laptop not charging or no power is the mosfet. am i right ?
i really love your works wish i can meet u on zoom
thank you sir
you shorted it out at 12:49 accidentally touching the probe to both pins lol
Tullerion probably you missed the fact all 4 pins are soldered together there :)
Where are you gone for week ?
I have the same problem with the lenovo g50 89 the black on but I put maybe about 20 volt with different charger couse I dont have so get litle bit fire from side where u put tu the stick so now the pc laptot is dead and smelling from the baterri some shit
u can help me please any your contact for u
Happy Easter Day Sorin
You shorted the mosphate pin when you put the positive prob make something burnt.😀
Sorin, please get a fume extractor, even a cheapo pc fan one will still help.
u found INCREDIBLE,.,.
Why did you solder 3x pins on the second mosfet??
Probably to make sure the connection is right as these 3 are connected anyways.
I am having same problem and go to repair shop they charge 15 $ but after one week same problem appears not charging
How come I always get the hard ones? Just had a Lenovo Yoga that blew the USB C chip and took the processor with it :(

I have a question for anyone to answer. After I make liquid Flux . What can I store it in .for easy use?
How can you tell if they are N or P channel?
how come its easy for you to remove ic/mosfet with your hot air..im looking at the clock..its barely 15 seconds or less...congrats,.and thank you
It took 30 seconds count it.
Smooke on the laptop....a fire on the sky :)
Why you don't have a repair video in desktop computer motherboard?
That behind looks familiar lol
Nice vedio keep it up
