I love it when I hear you exclaimed "we have picture", followed by a warm laughter ha ha haa😂😂😂😂❤😊 You are the best teacher that I have ever known when it comes to electronics. My legend 🙌 my hero, my mentor ❤ ❤❤.
Greetings from North Africa, I had the same exact dim light issue on a Tinkelbel laptop, I was lucky to find the thermistor and replace it, it took me weeks t find the issue as I was working on other customers' devices , so one day I have made the doggy division to test the LCD backlight with a 30 PSU and it worked, then I started to suspect the input voltage of the inverter. Thanks for your hard work
Hey Sorin, as much as I love the proper calibrated solution. Leaving the thermistor in place is that not why the screen dimming isn't working. As in bridging it with a wire is different from replacing it with a wire or god forbid another thermistor 😁
This one was really interesting. I wouldn't have thought of checking with the oscilloscope when doing a laptop repair but that makes total sense. We do that all the time in audio equipment repairs since we have issues like this all the time. Really enjoyed this one, hahaha.
Another entertaining video Sorin. Even after fixing many things over the years. like you. I still get a great satisfaction when i manage to fix something.
The first thing I thought was a kind of problem with a capacitor that integrates the PWM signal. If that capacitor would be faulty the PWM signal is not integrated to the proper DC voltage... This was a tricky one indeed... A thermistor (or polyfuse I think) never would have been my first guess. Good one Sorin!
Sorin this was a nice fault. Till you checked with a scope i was with the same mindset about the lcd as faulty. This was really a tricky one but a nice one. Nice catch and i think this fault cana be one of the top 10 interesting fualts in your repairs. Have fun regards
im currently faced up with the same problem. i had replaced the ower cables connected to the motherboard. still cudnt work. i changed the LCD screen, still cudnt work. i came here n found the solution. thank u so much I'm from south Africa
Finally, we can start 2024 with a proper doggy repair. Doctor Sorin, your troubleshooting was proper outstanding, I was almost as happy as you when you figured out the issue...Really amazing!
yes I think someone already reinstall the system and dont install all drivers with HP Hotkey and Support Assistant so maybe is problem there why brightness not dimming.
Nice repair, some of the newer laptops gets the pwm and enable signal from the PCH and not from the EC anymore , had one that lines were shorted to ground
Excellent video, but I am confused between 29:18 - 31:35 - how initially you had 10.9v, then something clicked... and obviously a lightbulb went off in your head and you knew what it was. But I'm confused when the second time you tried to measure the cap after the click how you concluded it was a thermistor when there was no reading on the cap second time?
Hi Sorin, huge thanks for the video. Very interesting and always instructive to follow your analysis. Question for you, since a polyfuse is resettable, if i'm not mistaken, once the overcurrent condition is removed and the polyfuse has cooled down, it returns to its original state. In this case, would it be safer to replace it if it's faulty? If not faulty, should we find out why it wants to protect the screen, and maybe other components as well?
Check for PWM shorted to 3V on the LVDS cable. Replacing the LVDS cable is a tedious job, however it's really common for intermittent issues especially when it's run tight through a laptop hinge.
At around 18:30, i think what about checking it with an oscilloscope, to check whether maybe the 26V are actually a partial available 40V. let's see how it continues 🤔
Amazing, almost there. So you checked the input, not the output. Good. Wouldn't have thought of the thermistor though, I had rather suspected a capacitor with dropped capacity w/o short.
You should always have 30 and 40 pin LED screens to test in those cases. Never trust others, always test yourself. And by having a screen to test, you avoid ordering not needed parts.
yes, i think its mandatory have 30 and 40 pin Led screens to test before buy a new one. Time is precious and to jump the first doubt if is a screen fault or a motherboar fault is clever.
Hi Sorin, thanks for all your interesting videos! Inspired by your work, for fun reasons - I now try to fix mine prehistoric Thinkpad T20 which died many years ago on the infamous BOD symptom (Blink of death). So far without luck. This was a common failure of the historic Thinkpads "T" and "A" series, I wonder if you ever had to fix this kind of problem? Maybe you could share your experience, if you still remember? Thank you and good luck!
it was not going to hurt any if he kept it for himself for testing or keep it in his stock in case someone wants a screen replacement . I run a computer business and usually I keep parts in stock regardless if customer want it or not . stock is money, instead of customer wait days for a screen replacement or go to another shop to find one same day you can earn his business.easy money
😂 Imagine if Sorin was a doctor, he will be like: lets short the brain of the patient, anyways he doesn't need to think nowadays 😂 Like always, we enjoy your videos 😊❤
So I'm wondering what that voltage rail is, what the thermistor is doing, and why you have a pwm signal on the other side. More classroom and theory would be nice here; I'm not certain I could fix this fault in the future, even given this demonstration. I need to learn more. Thank you.
I find it confusing that you call these thermistors while they are polyfuses. They are similar in function to PTC thermistors in certain situations but operate on mechanical changes instead of charge carrier effects in semiconductors.
They are called polymeric positive temperature coefficient thermistors (PPTC). They operate like PTC thermistors in certain situations but they operate on mechanical changes and not charger carrier effects. In short they are a type of thermistors used as fuses.
I am a bit confused but it being Monday that can be the cause. Weren't inverters used on LCD displays that used cold cathode lamps in the LCD for backlights? The inverter I think were to convert the DC in the laptop to AC for the cold cathode display tubes. Newer LCDs that use LEDs for backlights do not use inverters. Is that correct or have i mixed something up?
Imagine a Doctor says to his patient and states "the bad news is we took out one kidney, but you had two kidneys in parallel, so you're going to be fine, you don't have to replace it"😂
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. But that’s not hard to imagine a doctor saying that. I can imagine it being said everyday by one doctor or another. You can live with one kidney. My wife has been living with one kidney for years. And no one gets a kidney transplant until both kidneys are no longer viable. Because you will be fine with one kidney.
@@IAmThatGuy-ne6gw I thought it would never be said the way he said it Anyway, I sincerely apologise and I'm glad that your partner is well and healthy
That one is a special type of fuse. It works like a thermistors in some situations but is tested like a fuse hence very low resistance means the fuse is good.
great repair! but if the main power rail is pulsing, does it mean that there is another issue with this laptop and could it mean that this issue kind of disappearing because of the input caps at each power supply?!
Nice. I hope you also have a solution for Dell XPS half screen freezing (Sharp touchscreen LCD LQ133D1JX31). Most 13'' XPS from 9360-7390 models have this issue.
Nice! I been trying to figure out why my dad's laptop keeps getting display issue. I uninstalled & reinstalled display drivers of last 4 versions & keep getting same results. Screen will randomly go blank & stay like that until I force shut it down. Then other times, it just does it intermittently & flickers when moving mouse. Sometimes the screen blanks out right after boot before even having chance to login. I haven't took it apart as I kept thinking it was driver related & outside of a loose cable, i'm mostly ignorant with displays. I told him outside of wiping laptop & putting windows 10 back on, I don't know what else to do. He didn't want to. Its either exact model hp or close to one in this vid. I did try running it to my big screen tv via hdmi & while running dual screen I noticed the tv wouldn't flicker or go off when laptop screen would. I switched to tv display only & watched netflix a couple hrs with no issue. That got me thinking it might be hardware now. Reason why I kept thinking driver is it is a w10 laptop & he upgraded to w11 not long before it became a issue
Nice haha, I always take the base off and disconnect battery, plus unhinging the screen first before prying apart deffo can save time 😝 Also missing resistor and cap on the lcd pcb ?😊
Anyone to tell me why AC is passing through the fuse to the LCD. I am confused because I thought the fuse recieves DC and passes DC. Or is it that because its faulty and is pulsing current wronly?
I think it was a polyfuse. It was defective, and it was turning the power on and off at a high speed. Putting the meter in AC mode would have probably shown the problem.
I have a Lenovo laptop with a similar issue; but some screens do work fine, others don't (2 out of 10 in the shop, both are smashed 😅). I can adjust backlight brightness, but backlight keeps flickering, it almost stops at some brightness levels.
Hi Sorin, That was pretty cool episode of tom and jerry. Can you discuss importance of grounding solidering iron. Can it damage components if not grounded? I noticed on one of soldering iron. SMD LED lights up very slightly while attempting to solder. Thanks

Most laptop have built-in hardware screen brightness adjust by holding FN key and pressing F6 / F7 for brightness down/up. For hotkey it's software driven and needs driver or it doesn't do anything.
Yes but in this case it is the hardware fault not hotkey driver as when he adjusted the brightness you can see it brightness level appeared . if there was hot key driver issue the brightness level will not appear.
@@Customer22374rtClearly you don't understand what was said. The hotkey is working and it shows the software brightness on screen. but it does nothing because that's SOFTWARE driven and requires a driver to actually change the brightness. The hardware brightness is done with the Fn+ F6/F7 combination. If you actually owned a laptop you would know that LOL!
I don’t understand when you put 30v and the screen was working perfect and the also you said the dim signal wasn’t reaching the inverter., why would you still think it was a faulty screen?

I dont care specifically about this vid, I just dropped to tell sorin, happy new year!
Learn't a lot on this. Very informative. Thanks Sorin.
From the doctor's I get to see, you have much better reasoning and diagnosis skill. Doctors should aspire to be like u, not the other way around.
It seems that some of those smd fuses blow and leave a slightly conductive residue inside them, causing them to read a voltage on both sides.
Now that's some very impressive troubleshooting!!🤓 Another valuable lesson from experience.👍
makes my day when Sorin starts to laugh when he figures it out.
That information is gold. Thank you Sorin.
Supper I have same problem laptop after replacing screen same issue I need to check thermistor now thanks sorin❤

Usually in order the brightness to work, HP require Hot Key driver install also.

You could take the 26V and boost it up to 30V with a little circuit? or can you touch solder the chips and try to shot gun it?
This one was different. What was your thoughts that caused you to go back an inject 11v on the power rail
How do you know if its a fuse or polyfuse?
Good job mate 👍
Sorin. I don’t understand the thermistor. 50 ohms means it bad?? A good thermistor should show 0.00 ohms. Is that what I’m understanding.
