it is like watching a movie where sorin takes the role of a detective and starts Interrogating the components until he finds the suspect xD great video sorin and thanks for sharing :)
The only difference, that on Columbo we (the audience) already knew the offender and we were just curious to find out how the detective found a way to prove!
I have seen more than 50 videos, I have never posted any comments...I'm an industrial electric technician, with some love for laptop repairs... Even with schematics is hard sometimes, and this is incredible...doing it like he does, teaching with no secrets like he does...You have win my greatest and honest respect Mr. Sorin... Regards, From Portugal!
You've found the right channel to learn laptop repairs, sir. Sorin is among the top 2 on YT in my opinion. The other one is Laptex. Have a look at their channel. Most of their videos are in Hindi but still there's handful of English videos which I found very helpful. I don't have any affiliation with their channel. Just wanted to help someone who's willing to learn laptop repairs.
@@juliusvalentinas ask a German, Japanese, or Chinese guy they'll explain. In Japan, they rarely use English, not even in design phase. English is not the language of technology, but mathematics is.
Just gotta say, "Sorin", your video's are "Sic". Trying to learn about fixing stuff and came across you channel about 6 months ago, I've watched everything I can find. Always look for the two mosfets, coil and current resistor now....;-) Please keep doing the long video's, please keep showing the mistakes, please keep explaining. It helps us newbie's enormously... I love the "dodgy" fixes, but once you understand why, they're good. Thanks for taking the time.
@Sorin, easy way to check SOC (system on chip) (CPU) test data pins of USB ports if one data pin is shorted cpu is dead takes 2min to diagnose, saves time
@@awetaiwo9551 SOC is CPU and PCH rolled into one chip, if the data pins are shorted it means that the SOC is dead as the USB ports are connected strait to the SOC
Propper cheap laptop Chromebook haha dont spent that much time on it. Buy a cheap laptop for 10/20 euro's and install Chrome os on it will be great. This stuff so cheap and bad.
hi sorin. on battery the coils will not gen voltage.the chip releases a 100ma low output to the super io .and after the power button is triggered the mail 3v & 5v will get power love from sl
Most of the time the difficult job to fix is missing voltage, you're lucky sorin because you have 2 pc's extra board to get a SIO ,if you don't have a same board or SIO, you can't fix that! BTW is a nice video and great idea, thanks man
Sorin, I have been enjoying your videos. Thanks for your instructive, practical style 👍. I have one criticism. PLZ mention the make/model of the computer you work upon. If not in the title, then maybe tag it, or mention it in the explanation below video. This way all the people who are looking for guidance on repair of a specific laptop can find it in the Search function.
i cant believe your skills with the soldering of high pin count ic's .. ive seen others remove the ICs and clean the pads and apply solder to those pads and then try to solder it .. ive never seen you use extra solder .. and as much as ive seen your videos (and i ve seen many .. most ) youve had a perfectly soldered IC every time .. this super IO was an odd one .. and even though twice or thrice .. it moved from its place .. it was soldered perfectly.... my salute to you sir ... ive learnt a lot from your channel .. and to think .. im not even in to the repair business .. i used to assemble and deal in computers long long back 1994 to 1997 (fresh out of college) so thats a long time back .. but thank you i watch almost all your videos
@electronicsrepairschool i've learnt so much from you (lol), after the diagnose i thought it must be a faulty bios, or a partially dead controller (IO)... and when you've said the same around 1:00:00 i was so fckn smiling and being proud :D Thank YOU!
Can this cause GPU and CPU to heat also when plugged in on adapter? As soon as i plug in 3seconds and GPU is 40°C (no heatsink). How is CPU and GPU power controlled? Something is pushing amps..
Hello Sorin! Love you videos. Could i possibly have information of your shop? I would sent a board in for Diagnosis and repair. Lenovo yoga 910 motherboard. Charging issues and the inductor gets really hot. I am a bit lost on the repair. I also have an extra board for parts.
How could I send my PC??? My HP G4 Pavilion 2205la once decided to only send power to the cooling base, until it drained the battery, after that i changed the power button chip, it still doesn't react at all ( i noticed the LEDs chip is broken) i prompt the 2 power pins and it doesn't turn on.... I'm trying to see if I could get this fixed all thoe i don't even know how to send it to Master
hello congratulations I like your method. Allow me a tip. Change the color or pattern of the tips. I can already see it happening.. a voltage test on a 3.3 rail with 19v 5 amps tips :)
Can anyone point me the direction of fixing my laptop ? I have replaced the Thermal Paste on it and accidentally blew my Screen Backlight Fuse off. After finding the blown fuse and removed it + short the circuit to see if the issue is still there... the screen is working fine... but now the Battery does not charge anymore. The laptop seems to be working fine only when plugged in ... but dies immediatelly when I disconnect the charger... which means that the battery is not charging. I have removed the battery and tried it out in my new laptop (they both have the same battery model) ... I have charged the battery ... but when I try now to connect the charger... the charger's protection kicks off and cutts the charging power. I have tested the battery from my new laptop as well... and the charger cutts of the power as soon as I plug it in. Any advice on where should I start ? Thanks in advance
Sorin nice good guy you should been a doctor, so many lives would be saved, even without seeing on youtube. With all those corrupt doctors, actually parent doctor -> child doctor mafia these days.
in begining of the video 1.24 you say it is taking 1 amps that means that it is charging.. if i had taken this laptop, i would say it is short .. i need more experience
Hello sir please I need your help my acer r14 is not charging and the technicians I have given says they need schematics to enabled them fix the charging circuit please can you help with the best the laptop works if the battery is charged but will not charge even with a charger
"i spent over 1 hour" hahahaha i spend days traying to fix things that are way over my head. Nice job. Im still learning, so far i can fix small easy things, but i dont give up. Im taking an online electronic course. Hope some day be able to fix complicated things.
Thank you sorin for the leson, members of this channel ,I'm looking for a mother board for LENOVO Ideapad-300-14IBR Model name : 80M2 I'm in need of your help I'm in Uganda
It was Beautiful work...if it was me do that work i think laptop was broket in 100 small pices and put to rubbis.haha but you fix it...thats nice ..have good day..
Awesome repair video! TY. I appreciate your angle on electronics repair. Can someone do a meme on the evolution of Rapid Cool Technology between Sorens' and Louis Rossmanns' Rapid Cool Technology video on discord? Ping me, I don't have time, TIA
You are like the friend i wish i had, ive learned so much watching your videos and now i only ever fail if parts cant be purchased/mixed or swaped. Also the obvious damage inbetween layers. I use a rework station for small stuff and a old counter stove 200c for reflows works like a dream :D and old style solder irons for stubborn places 🙂
My bows to You! I'll quote Tina Turner: You're simply The Best! Always a pleasure of watching You at work and thanks for this precious lesson. Hello and see You soon from Poland.
well, it would be much faster without schematics. You set diagnose for first board in first minute of testing and than spent one hour trying to make fix somehow using all spares and schematics customer send you....just be you next time and fix it under a 5 minute :)
I always get laptops with shorted cpu or gpu, never had with shorted capacitor. As i said shorted cpu, gpu or first mosfet. If is gpu shorted u can bypass.
I'll say . I really like the way he fix "thingy's" but when he have schematics and a few spare boards he waste time , because without them he is force to look in just one board and fix it. P.s. guys dont send more than one spare board. He will fix it anyways . One way or another. 👍
I ask why did the customer made it so difficult by not sending the charger ! Also whoever sent this does know an awful lot about these laptops to have two other motherboards ? Well done you for sorting it out. I lost track of the motherboards early on, would have been useful if they were marked then A,B & C or something. Thank you Sorin.
Sorin I hope you find one day the time.. to do it al the way and not in a hurry. I understand you have a shop to run. But I almost see you make two boards in one time but you don’t did it. I like your spirit too always thinking off the shop. Thanks for all the time
2 dead boards for the same model seems like this laptop is bad, i like watching your diagnostic process you're good at it and for one hour video it's all benefits
bad for business great for us.. Sorry Sorin.. But thanks! I just had a thought at the end.. If the customers could see you working on there lap tops, fixed or no, they would be satisfied you did your best.. I truly appreciate people who do there best.. no matter at what level it is.. Carry on! you truly are good at what you do..
When Master Sorin says : " Can´t believe I spent an hour " , means I would be happy to find it in a week.
😂😂😂😂
100/100
Sorin is the best man
@opal177 its a boss fight

less stupid people doing bad things.
Sorin why you testing board on baterry ?
I always connect mainboard to service power supply i watch current .
it depend on set up, he use test prove to inject voltage,.

ANY HELP
Soldering over the battery couple of times?? C'mon Sorin :)
Hi Sorin, it have been a long video, and you fixed it, and we learnt something 👍🇦🇺❤️
That wass clear from the beginning the output of 3.3v alw was shorted that's mean the ec chip somehow is shorted.
Can this cause GPU and CPU to heat also when plugged in on adapter?
As soon as i plug in 3seconds and GPU is 40°C (no heatsink). How is CPU and GPU power controlled? Something is pushing amps..

I laughed when he said that aswell lolll
Someone should give him a semiconductor parfume...he loves that smell...seen it before on different videos :)
i like those kind of jobe.Thats simple and stereotipe tehnicians kind of jobe it borring me
What is that liquid paste that you apply to ICs before de-soldering them with hot air gun ? Please tell us.
Nice videos wanna learn more and more thks much for your videoz

worth watching and learning
it is short surprised lol 😂😂😂
Was that a ChromeBook laptop?
is was unbelievable
Come to Besiktas Sorin...Because we'r 2021 champions...
Some one help me to get smd components like caps, resistors, MOSFETs and ics through online in india

it's a great way to find the imposter among us
Smoke back to normal...lol

great job idol
Very nice
I was confused: which is the powersupply and which was the multimeter (same colours) and which board was which pfff
No qwik fix, but you figured it out and that was an impressive, time consuming hunt. No wonder you don't work on TV's anymore!
What’s the last thing you changed there, the super IO? Cause I heard you talking about bios chip so it got me confused 🤔
No gpu repairs sorin?
