- I genuinely didn't know this was going to happen. I thought it was just a dusty PC 😅
Just in case anyone's thinking "weh you could've saved that" - this had an E2-3200 (FM1) CPU in it. It was not a good APU. It was the worst APU. This PC was not worth saving.

I got to 1:20 into the video and had to come check the comments because I thought "There is no way in hell it's worth fixing that piece of junk, what are these people thinking?"
Would a new MOSFET have worked or was there something else that caused the MOSFET to die.
@@Pekeliini I love the ivory towers people inhabit in the comments. Last week I had a call from a secretary of a small electrical business whose owner knows my brother. The PC had become unusuable and their company payroll was on it (Sage), could I help? Budget to fix was zero.
The PC was unbranded with an MSI H61M-P31 (G3) M/B, a Pentium G860 CPU, 8GB DDR3 and a Toshiba 1TB HDD
It was indeed unbelievably slow - even to get into Windows 10 settings was a wait of five minutes.
Did I throw it in the bin and demand they shell out £500 on something new? No, I cleared off all the junk such as AVG and the other million things in startup, virus scanned and chkdsk and Auslogics defrag (Thanks Graham). Then I recalled that I had a Core i5 3450 and 4GB sticks of DDR3 doing nothing. Put them in and the PC actually worked well in dual channel mode no less. The upshot is that any time I want electrical work done for nothing just ask.
Any moron can say "Anything less than a Ryzen 5600 is scrap", it takes a bit of understanding of other people's situation to actually help.
@@reggiedixon2 cool story bro. It's nice that you were able to do free labor and parts for that small business owner. Makes is a lot easier for it to be "worth" saving when it's completely for free. As far as I'm aware Adamant IT doesn't work for free. So it's already a cost to bring it in. Sure, the computer in this video is also worth saving if you just change the MB, CPU and PSU and not charge for any of it.
@@Pekeliini Why does my actual account have to be in competition with Graham? What part of "zero budget" is confusing?
Well....YOU SAID ignition! Obviously the board took it as a command! 😉
yeah that was hilarious.
Absolutely the best phrasing for the situation 😂👍
Good one LOL!
@Big AL -
YES , it ignited like a "V2" rocket ...
2:40 - bloody hell...
4:15 - "aaaaand...ignition". "Darn...king hell". Yes. Yes indeed.
4:15 and that's how ladies and gentlemen RGB lighting came to motherboards.
Reddish-gold burn
Admit it. Secretly we all prefer "repairs" that involve open flame 🙂
When you actually do the ignition process 4:15
Adamant IT : Taking voltage injection to new levels
Nice demonstration of fault finding by voltage injection without using a thermal imaging camera. Bet you're glad you didn't have your finger on the MOSFET. ROFL
damn , that would have been a serious injury if that happened, LOL.
I can never understand how people can ever get anything done on these old computers. At least you go a free fireworks display in your shop lol
They run MS Word and Microsoft mail just fine. Yes this is sarcasm.
People will struggle on with really bad systems as long as they still actually work 😩
I often find myself having to convince people to upgrade for their own benefit, despite the fact that technically I'd make more money infinitely fixing their old PC.
@@Adamant_IT Its a double edged sword Graham, you got to run a business at the end of the day. Damn if you do damn if you don't.
The key thing to understand here is that often the brain of the people using these computers is working at the same level of performance and reliability as the computer in question. That is why they continue using computers that basically don’t work and don’t even see the problem.
In most cases, it's not about money. You'll often see people with garbage computers from 2013 who, paradoxically, are using the latest, high spec smartphone. So a good many of them either have the money or are willing to go into debt to buy the latest bauble, but they want to waste resources on a shitbox from 10 years ago. Strange stuff.
Graham: "And... Ignition!" 🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic answer to that burning question!
HP slaps case “you can fit so much disappointment in here it’s crazy!”
I understand the "not worth saving" part. Still would have been cool to see it resurected from the ashes.... Literally ;) Hopefully it had a Phoenix BIOS ;)
jeah that would of been nice i do like his repair video's his live streams not so much
His channel is focused on PC repair, not PC recycling. It's his channel, he can do what he likes on it.
I do PC recycling myself (including for recycling charities) and there are plenty of videos elsewhere on YT if you want to know more about that - and I would support anyone doing that because it keeps perfectly good machines out of landfill.
It's bloated Microsoft Windows that makes many PCs useless, not their age. Linux breathes new life into old hardware.
@Jérémie Faucher-Goulet -
you might still use/sell the drives , Power Supply , RAM & CPU ... 2 fans , the heatsink & USB-2.0 connectors for experiments ... the rest is junk
@@TheSpotify95 -
muahaha literally all AMD Essential "E"-CPUs are junk ... the worst AMD CPU I used was an AMD E1 laptop cpu with 7 Watts TDP ... it was in a 2014 Toshiba laptop much slower than a consumer laptop from 2007 eith Intel core2duo & I let Windows 10 lose on it (upgrade from Windows 8 )
@@TheSpotify95 -
the Core2Duo laptop-CPU is much faster than ANY AMD E1-Series CPU (which are all a waste of sillicon) ... I personally tested it on 2 laptops , 1x Core2Duo E7xxx vs. 1x AMD E1-2100
Short but sweet - and just the type of fireworks display to go into July 4th weekend =P
Nice to see you held the fan when dusting
Nothing will happen when you dont hold it
4:14 it ignited, isnt this what you wanted? XD
@Adamant IT
You have just given your American brethren an early 4th of July celebration
Keep doing your best, thank you for the interesting videos
One of the best Mosfet, PS, "failure mode" descriptions I've heard to date.. 125 points awarded. You are on fire my friend. Cheers
Motor speed controller “ H Bridge “ is a good one .
300 amps 16 FETS , lots of smoke , flames , molten plastic shrapnel & venting caps !
@@gd2329j NO WAY! That happens to be one of my worst recurring nightmares. How did you know? Freaky. You are all knowing and basically RoCk, GD*J Cheers
WOW 🤩 that goes to show please keep your desk top clean from dust bunnies ….. that was a fire just waiting to happen great 👍 job you found it first ! Keep up the great work
I want internal light effects like that for my next PC.
It's a good thing this happened in a controlled environment. This could have happened to the previous owner resulting in a house/office fire.
It totally would've been a house fire, you saw all the dust that came out, basically sucked in its own tinder ready to blow at any moment.
well ur not that smar now are u..hp power supply did what it was designed for to cut power to shorted board. and HE was using cheao chinese one to light the fire!!!
If the user had replaced their PSU it could have caught fire.
Not with that weedy HP PSU
Now that WAS worth filming. And not just for the monster dust bunnies.
"When I said ignition, that's not what I meant"
It's better to burn out than to fade away 🔥🔥🔥
4:16 hahahaha the hp took the "ignition" serious
Thank you so much for the explanation sending much appreciation to yo man
This video was fire, literally. 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for the video.
At first blush, I thought it was a rat with no tail.... Great video as always. Cheers!
Nice! Early fireworks for Canada Day! Thank you very much :)
You have a short on one of the power rails as it turned on for a second. The correct procedure would have been to spot the fan spin. Realise the PSU protection came on. Find the short and replace the chip(s). Not risk blowing up your send PSU and now the CPU as well.
lol that board aint worth the time of finding, buying, shipping, soldering a new mosfet on. junk MB with junk APU
I love the title. well done!
Shorts, flames, explosions oh my! :)
Without spoiling, nice surprise. Thank you! 🤣
Adding "cracking dusting pictures" to my Texas vocabulary!
Cool fireworks 💥 🔥light show 🤩🤯. It would’ve cost more to dump this pc than repair it haha 😂
An excellent strategy to make repair videos way more exciting.
4:14
Well... you did demand ignition!
Lovely surprise! Good video! Clad that you recorded this!!! Mad fast reflexes!
good thing you decided to record it gave u a nice lightshow also if that had happened while it had all the dust in it that would have combusted
Shows value in doing a clean before attempting diagnostics!
4:14 ignition indeed!
"The motherboard is dead. All we did was set it on fire" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for making a video out of this computer never saw this kind of flames from a mosfet.
I learned something, and I was entertained.
4:13 3.... 2....1.... Ignition!!!! Houston... We have a problem!! Hahahha
Nice one Graham, it was entertaining, thanks for sharing.
Wrong move buddy! :D That old PSU is most likely perfectly fine and I was convinced that it was something on one of the power rails that's shorted. If it was an internal short in the PSU, in 90% of the cases it wouldn't jerk the fans into a "quarter-spin" like that. At least that junk box proved to be full of excitement after all! :)
LOL… Let’s be honest. That’s grandma’s “solitaire machine” from 2014. 😂
The power of Antec compels you! :)
Clear demonstration of why power supplies that can push too much current trough a single rail can be dangerous...
4:14 and ignition.
Ignition indeed
Gday mate. Just recently subscribed. I've gotta say I loved the outdoor dusting. It had that real 70s Flying Circus feel whered they'd be shooting in the studio then they'd switch to film for an outdoor bit. Looks like you live in a nice part of England
Great video, I've had to clean out plenty of dusty junk boxes just like this, but never had the pleasure of watching them burn a little 😃
Thanks for sharing!
Made my day lol Thanks Adam.
"Ignition" as you knew wat was to come hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Four! I mean five! I mean fire!
+ 1 Kill for the big Antec PSU !!
"... standby power... and ignition!" *click* *ignites* 😅
Antec "Continuous Power" - they weren't kidding 😆
02:36 I was expecting it to get blown over the wall 😁
Now thats a good one for next April.
You wanted ignition, you have ignition
✨🔥💨 🤣 Slo-mo reaction was great
I luv this vid ! Thank you.
That HP computer is "fired!"
Keep the new Air Blower, you previous device with high pressure and Low Air volume is the wrong device. Lower pressure at higher volume is perfect. Keep this new Blower.
When that flame appeared I laughed out loud very entertaining was not expecting that 😂
Geeze that kinda caught me off by surprise when that mosfect next to the cpu caught fire
You gave it a Viking funeral ;)
I came for the repair....I stayed for the fire.
Good Lord @ 2:41 .... So much dust.
I've been using the Metro Vacuum version of that blower for 10+ years now. Excellent product and not harmful to the environment (past some noise).
Close your door when you dust man, sheeeeesh. that was a blizzard. 🤣
RIP little CPU magic smoke released. Mosfet welded to the board. Imagine if that happened with that hug dusty bunny in there. Instant conflagration
I got the mecco UK plug duster, 2 settings, strong blast and way too strong blast, it does the trick but I still need to pre-brush the fans and hold the fans. With my aging mobo I am concerned about knocking a cap off the board.✌
Whenever I get a rig in that won't turn on and trips the PSUs SCP like the stock PSU did in this one (which is technically a good thing), first thing I do is unplug the 4pin 12V and try to turn it on again after waiting 5-10 secs for the PSUs main filter caps to discharge and "release" the SCP so to speak. If it turns on then and doesn't trip the SCP, no need to go any further, dead VRM, ready for the scrap pile (in 90% of the cases at least, I've done some board level repair on rare stuff, but most of the time it's not worth it)
So much for the pyromaniac 🤣
Dust bunnies, more like dust dinosaurs!
That duster is one of the best and I have had it for many years.
Never had fire but I was very grateful for a PSU tripping out when I put someone else's Socket 3 CPU in offset by one row of pins. The CPU survived as did my reputation as no one was watching.
A typical case of burning the house down to stop the plague😄.
"I going to take this out back and give it a good" kicking...
I am sorry that is not Dust Bunnies That is Dust Kangaroos
Wooohooo, my PC is on fire!
Well goddamn! Haven’t seen dust bunnies of that size for a long time 😆
A word of advice,to save yourself from the death cloud of dust.Just vacuum it first,blow it later.Having a repair shop in a crowded city area,I'll have at least 100 lawsuits for pollution,if I don't vacuum first..
aaaand ignition! Oh no! :D
I shrieked with laughter when that happened... muhahaha
Instead of LFC it should have been LCCOFOMG (Let's catch computer on fire oh my god). Never the less, really good information about this case.
those are literal dust bunnies, very rare creatures xD
That was awsome,nice one bud,,
That is a real ignition 😂😂
In my will, I instruct my wife to play Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi at my funeral, but only if I deserved it.
I'd say this fella deserves it.
Good lord those clouds!
Looking forward to gear reviews!
If we assume businesses exist to make money, I don't see the point in spending any time on this from a business owner's perspective. Valuable as far as demonstrating voltage injection and whatnot, but if a customer brings me something like this I just say, "I'll transfer your data to a new computer but I'm not touching this".
I held my breath when u opened it mate😂
I refurb a lot of old PCs and gft them to local families. They are OK for homework and perving the web so needy people love them. I've never had one quite as mucky as this but quite close - this gave me a right laugh!
As a long time repair tech I would absolutely say it wasn't the dust that killed the motherboard it was the original bad powersupply most likely that overvolted the board weakening that mosfet and who knows what else due to bad current protection on a cheap OEM psu. I would have unplugged the clients data drive first thing as well to avoid data loss.
Dust probably killed the PSU, dust traps heat and PSUs fail when they run hot
You said "ignition", you got ignition. :-))
loved this one!
Good to see you let those dust bunnies back into the wild behind the shop. I’m looking to get one of those blowers instead of going the compressor route, so look forward to review.
