- Repairing a laptop may sound like a brain surgery, but in fact it is more like a nose job if you are careful. With some experience, you can fix wires, connectors or cooling fan easily, or not. It could be worth a shot!

I think this is the first video of his I've seen where he doesn't either electrocute himself or blow up a capacitor.
I mean he does stick his hand in a running fan
He is getting smarter. Not that he was stupid or anything, but no matter how smart you are, it's awesome that you can always get even smarter.
You do realize that he doesn't ACTUALLY do it by mistake? He's joking, he even showed us how in another video.
SpookySnek Then how do you explain the scar on his left wrist?
I'm sorry if I sound a bit hostile, but he did explain that he stabbed it with a box cutter. You can see it in his review video about a watch from Tokyo Flash.
SpookySnek Do you mean the "Don't Take Capacitors for Granted" video?
5:05 "There is usually some excess screw that you can vacuum". LOOOOL
Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is true.
As someone that fixes laptops on his spare time; i laughed at that moment so hard that i had to stop from the pain.
Too many times have i forgotten one damn screw from the inside because i was in a rush. Thus had to take the whole thing apart and put it back together.
Ayy same I was dying xD. Also when they fall off the table or when your hand hits the bowl you were keeping them in...
AhA! This is why i use magnetic balls to hold my screws in different labeled boxes! Once i take them out i put them in their representative box with small magnets. Makes them a pain to put them out one by one; BUT I CAN NEVER LOSE THEM!
hmm thats clever I should try that instead of chucking the screws on carpet
I had to open my previous laptop several times, every single time I did it there were some screws left at the end.
Guess they weren't actually needed lol
5:09 "There are some excess screws that you can vacuum."
My gosh! 🤣
lol
Can confirm, small electronics screws breed when you aren’t looking at them lol
it's true tho, we never find out how to get all the screws back in!
5:08
Quick safety tips: 1) avoid getting a vacuum too close to your motherboard because it builds-up lots of static and there's a risk of ESD damaging components - a hand-pumped blower's safer, and 2) insert something through the grill to hold fan still when you blow it out because if you turn the fan backwards fast enough it can create a negative current and damage upstream components. At least that's what I've always read; if I'm wrong please correct me!
No u are actually right so far i see, the modern vacuum cleaners arent waking that much static but still dangerous to do, better ground yourself and the vacuum cleaner, but thats too much work.
Your not wrong and totally right !!
There are always back EMF control when fans are involved.
When you power off the fan it will continue to spin and there is circuitry designed to sink that backwards voltage.
Also, motherboards are usually covered with dialectric spray lacquer and are usually not bothered by discharge.
This was a huge problem in the 90s and early 2000s but we have learned since then.
These are small concerns but wont cause any issues in any reasonably modern Fan/circuit board.
shit i did that vaccum thing with my laptop motherboard directly ofcourse with battery unplugged but as you were saying i think the screen glitching problem i am facing right is because of that ..as it was happen after i put back everything
Would a cock pump work to ??

"There are usually some excess screws that you can vacuum." - is where I lost it.
Same, every time I clean or replace anything in my laptop I'm left with 1 or 2 extra screws. The only reasonable explanation is that there is a small screw factory hidden inside my thin laptop :D
The same thing happened to me when I fixed my car s engine.
I broke my Dyson when I tried to vacuum the excess bolts, screws , valves and air filter.
When I heard that I felt my soul leave my body.
I sticky tape my screws in groups. This makes it easier to know which screws go where and is a time saver. Trust me, tape the screws.

Iran Number 1! :-)
thats a hp g series, had mine for about the same time, i noticed that the fan had packed up, so bought a new laptop, replaced the fan and had issues with the screen driver cutting out, the motherboard was shorting out, so i slid a piece of paper between the motherboard and the frame, not works perfectly.
and yes a royal pain in the as* to take apart.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Back when I was doing tech-work, I had developed the concept of the Four C's.
The four C's are: Cables, Connectors, Components and Clues.
Cables are by far the weakest link, followed by Connectors.
Components (video cards, sound cards, fans, PSU) are generally pretty reliable, but can fail.
And the Clues? That is what many Users do not have, and that leads to more trouble than all the others!
strange since in most notebooks its always the video card or fan or PSU failing.....
correction: strange since in most cheap notebooks its always the video and or PSU failing.....
The fan is mechanical, it will fail over the course of time. A good piece of hardware will realize it failed and alert you, or at least adjust to not overheat it self.
Even in my well used, nearly a decade old Toshiba, what failed was the plastic case.... original fan, PSU, all boards, cables, etc.(except the hard drive that I damaged a little when I put it down too hard one day, but even that is still usable, just a few bad sectors, but I replaced it anyway since I don't like any problems.) Well used.... it either ran Folding@Home at 100% CPU usage, or I was using it for school work, or it was traveling with me between classes and home. It did this for a few years, then when I wasn't going to school, it would still travel with me to work and back, I would walk around with it a lot, etc. The case is cracked in so many places, that it cases problems when I move it, otherwise it works fine.
In a Dell my mom used, the power supple jack failed, that I just re-soldered. That and the screen hinges failed, Those both happened after it was at least 5 years old.
My ex has a IBM X60s, older than my Toshiba, that works perfectly, all that was ever changed was the fan.
Quality matters in these components.
He does have a degree in electronics
5:39 everyday millions of wires are getting abused

Electroboom im a big fan, i showed my dad ur video's and he agreed to become a patron
“Please respond or I’ll get rid of you”
Lmao I didn’t expect you to come up with a new lyrics to the song 😂
Some laptops have special programs (lenovo and some more) to make fans spin the other way so they push the dust.
does not work. but my lenovo g510 has only two screws that hold the entire bottom panel, giving me almost instant access to everythng inside, so i don't really need that function anyway.
Lenovo also has this interesting warranty option: If for example your hard drive is broken, they can just send you the hard drive, and you replace it yourself. And since it was so easy to open of course I've done some modding: Original HDD went where the optical drive used to be, and was replaced with an SSD. I've put the original optical drive in an external case. Way more practical that way.
wait? what kind of fan is it? most of laptop is using centrifugal fan. which i think the direction of the blowed air cant be reversed the other way.

@ 1:58 he says:” welcome back” but how could he know he would put something in front of it if it was the future?.....
I believe he recorded opening the laptop
After that to make a smoother cut
He recorded himself dropping the battery twice
The second time he said, because it was true, welcome back
Or i believe thats how he did it.
Else he wouldnt have been able to record it disasembled
0:40 he says "here i am jumping forward to an important part and i will jump back later" and starts talking about the fan getting jammed.
He first made the "beginning" parts
And then the "future" parts he switched them while editing the video
i just found this, and having replaced bad fans on at least 5 of my own laptops over the years, this is absolutely 100% the correct way to do this.
3:51
He is a genius. U can clearly see how he fix the dead fan. Amazing
That fan is not dead it has uneven blades so it cannot rotate efficiently.He removed a blade on the other side to make it even on both sides.

Okay certified computer tech here: Cleaning the dust out of your computer every year or two is important to maintaining the device's health and usability but don't try this vacuum method, 9/10 times your computer will probably be fine but this can make the fan spin way faster than it is supposed to and can ruin the bearings in your fan, causing it to cool far less effectively and potentially cause heavy damage to the system. Also vacuums that aren't specially designed for computers can cause a ton of static charge to build up and can potentially kill vulnerable components in your computer, just stick to short bursts of compressed air or (if you are capable of reassembling it) take the computer apart and manually clean it. Compressed air is generally safer for the average user though.
So the vacuum on it's own makes the fan spin faster for a few seconds than it normally would and that causes damage?
Completely correct about the potential for ESD with common household vacuums. ESD is a far greater concern than simply spinning fans beyond their typical usage speed! Only use vacuums designed for ESD sensitive environments, but compressed or high velocity blowing air will nearly always do a better job at loosening dust and debris and has virtually zero chance of causing harmful ESD. However, blowing air over fans can cause them to spin far greater than their bearings are rated for as well, more so than most vacuums. Always secure fan blades during cleaning.
BTW, what certifications do you hold to be a "certified computer tech"? 🤨
