Today Sorin grew from Expert to Grand Master Expert in my standards, and I will expain. I am train as technician in Electronics and Electromecanics... but this video is something that I never encounter before in my training or other people experimented. I always believe Sorin is very good but today he was moved in "Best Off" category. Today lesson hit me hard...
Not all capacitors are there for the FCC, there are also there to filter noise from nearby components either under certain conditions/places from events produced by the laptop/device itself or noise outside. This is why it matters some times it matters and others it doesn't. The noise produced, depending on the intensity can disturb data lines causing data corruption which is where, at principle and if properly implemented in practice as well, filtering capacitors exist and are placed in certain places. Also, the number of capacitors alone might not be enough to pass an FCC test if a certain capacitor is filtering a very specific frequency spectrum which other capacitors don't matter because they are removed since they might be filtering a very different range spectrum and thus as a result now the laptop/device is emitting a signal in that frequency which is now unattenuated.
Long story short (coming from a hardware designer), its for EMC compliance. CISPR25, IEC 61000, and other friends. Local mitigation improves overall EMC performance. If a board is not compliant, it just doesn't go to production, simple as that.
My first PC, a mighty 286 I bought in the early 90s, inhibited the AM radio my father used to listen to his favorite news show, so, I was banned from using the PC while he was listening to his radio.
i somethimes liked SORINS videos before even i watched them because he built a good reputation and respect in my heart with his impressive skill and knowledge. plus he is also a good teacher of life and business. I am very grateful for your delighted heart. may god give you health and happiness. thank you.
Capacitors do more than just helping devices pass FCC. Sometimes they are critical for communication circuits as they can be very noise sensitive. Also, the roles of the capacitors only becomes appearent when the system is under full load. But I do agree with your conclusion that most of the times you are fine without replacement. One important risk of replacement is that you could replace caps with caps with the wrong voltage rating.
If it would be caps near the driver of an HDMI, ethernet port, wireless circuit, USB port or LVDS screen connector I would replace them. If they are electrolytic caps or high value caps I would replace them too. You'll have estimate the risk of replacement and compare it to the risk with taking them out. @@juliusvalentinas
i had asus motherboard before.. with a shorted main power rail caused by a shorted capacitor on cpu vcore input.. i had it removed and was able to power ON the laptop.. but this happens next.. whenever i type any key on the keyboard, the screen flickers.. it does not flicker when i use usb keyboard.. i was about to tell the customer that it either needs a new keyboard or a replacement screen.. but i placed back a working capacitor on cpu vcore input.. the problem with keyboard typing making screen flicker is gone.. i have absolutely ZERO idea what was going on.. but it the end, a replacement capacitor fixed the problem..
Hay Thanks , At first i thought this was silly just to prove your point but I seriously learned something important. Keep being they way you are "dodgy", If it works that is what matters... it seems the easyest way for me to learn - love it. .
Sorin, I know that, but THANK YOU VERY MUCH, for the first time I've seen someone simplify the reason why so many capacitors are installed. THANK YOU AGAIN TO HEAVEN.🇷🇸❤️🇷🇴
Ce tare! Nu m-am gândit ca producătorii pun condensatori pentru a trece testul FCC. Multumesc pentru prezentare foarte bine explicat și apreciez foarte mult efortul de a explica.
Thank you for the very detailed explanation I really appreciate the time you took to fill my knowledge gap. Now I understand why you aren't replacing capacitors.
The big capacitors are for filtering while the smaller ones are for high frequency bypass. Under heavy computing loads the big capacitors will provide extra current while the smaller ones will prevent ringing. The overshoots at the edges of the pulses are due to insufficient high frequency filtering. On top of that the power rails should have no pulse present if property filtered. They should have clean dc outputs.
You're right, Sorin. But don't forget to speak about output caps, the ones used to smooth out the inductor output ripple...yes, alright: these are lytics...mostly. Thanks for another excellent video. And regards from Madrid, Spain.
@fichambawelby2632 they look like a no brainer...I night start with a Yihua set..in general I'm pretty happy with the Yihua stuff I have bought. PeaceFromoz.
I think the video should really be called "Dodgy Sorin Explains Why He Doesn't Replace Capacitors He Removes!" Fantastic tutorial and great use of your oscilloscope! 😎 This video complements the lesson you did with Diana where you shortened the wires to prove the switching power supply signal got less noise when doing so.
Of course, this is true only for "parallel mode" capacitors, when it used in serial mode you have to replace it (even if you don't know the exact value)
An excellent video Sorin, good to see you using the oscilloscope. Any chance of a video for scope beginners? Trying to trace a sound fault on a laptop and a scope would be really handy.
Sorin what works is replacing the cap for a new cap of higher capacity. So for 19v use 22v or above and just get new of same size but highest capacity. 5v use 6,3v. Also FCC rules are excessive but this is partly to prevent and make sure with no doubt that e devices will not effect electronics on planes trains or other important electrical equipment. I agree 100% NO CAPICTOR NO DEAD CAPICTOR.
Lets see, there is no power "spiking" in the system, which makes you right only so long as there are no voltage or current spikes in the system. You would be right 99% of the time. Its when a capacitor blows up that makes you and this demo wrong. The blown capacitor absorbed the power spike and died. What I'm saying in no way takes away your genius when diagnosing laptop faults. Love your work. Capacitors serve a purpose: they take out the spikes and the ripples much like coils. And in moments when there is a power deficiency, in some part of the circuit, a capacitor is there to provide a few extra electrons. Keeps things running smoothly. Analogy: its like smoothing out tension and slack in a chain. Too much tension and the chain snaps and a capacitor blows up. The system runs cooler with capacitors and stops all sorts of knock on effects. **Its only if electronics operated at super conductivity that we could do away with capacitors.** As things are in real life, capacitance forms all over the place in electronic circuits, with sparking results. Capacitors give these electrons an open space to park. Two parallel tracks on a circuit board .... capacitance. What is a touch screen: its capacitance. Put a capacitor in place: no more working touch screen. Electrons love capacitors in preference to tracks or wires. **I've written all this down for my own amusement.**
And one would be enough for that. All these caps he removed in this video are on same 19V rail. As he pointed out in a video there is minimal resistance due large ground and VCC planes in board, having any cap at any position on board between these plates will cover condition you're talking about. There are people who are amused by pretending to be smart and there are people like Sorin.
@@gorjy9610 One is not enough: because different parts of the board are chewing up different amounts of power. Different parts of the board are hotter than others ... dah. Zorin's demo It doesn't explain why capacitors blow up. The big ones blowing up right next to little ones. Are you paying attention when blown capacitors are being removed? And they blow up in specific places and not others: it is uneven power in the circuit. And wires don't have to touch each other for electrons to jump an air cap. Capacitors minimize sparking and arcing, among other things. And lets not forget TIN CREAP with so many free electrons in circuit boards of bygone days. Coating a circuit board alone does not solve that problem. Capacitors: the place to be for electrons to play in, jump around in, arc from layer to layer instead of inside sensitive CPU chips. It is excess electrons that spark and arc. And when you have 8 phases going into a CPU, each phase irons out its own ripples of current and voltage .... with capacitors. The whole purpose of 8 phases is more precise control of ripple .... a more constant current .... because of more sensitive CPU's and GPU's. But go ahead, remover all capacitors and rely on the circuit board's layered capacitance. And when you see a bridge rectifier soldered on a board, remove those capacitors too. Zorin, does an excellent job of motherboard diagnosis, and teaching electronics as he goes along with his simplified approach .... dispelled a lot of my ingrained mis-conceptions. This is not one of them. If a motherboard had all its capacitors removed, the board would in quick time start arcing between layers and become the victim of tin creep and short circuits. Clouds carry charge: its where lightening discharge comes from. Now imagine clouds of electrons between circuit board layers and discharging between those layers. **Is that amusing enough!!**
Excellent tutorial. I would want to ask that you could demonstrate how to test a RAM with any cadgjet to see if it is in excellent operating order, similar to how we test capacitors.Suppose it's something you recently bought or took off of a PC.(Examining it when it is out of the laptop/PC slot)
Excellent video as always! Does this apply to power supply capacitors only, meaning that they must have one leg connected to gnd and these are the only ones we would find shorted?
ESD protection, I blew one laptop capacitor just by touching 😂 You are top man 👍 massive difference in this timeline, time ago engineered to last , these days standards different
I can't believe that he actually didn't put the capacitor back! How can you sleep at night knowing that you have remove só many capacitors in you life. Hahaha good job, thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Hi Sorin, any chance you could make an update video about a good choice of linear power supply in UK? I m looking for one and it seems very hard to find one on eBay or Amazon, everything is a switching one :D Oh and is there a video showing a modification to remove the short protection from it? Many thanks greetings from Edinburgh
First I do the same. In Notebooks I don't replace the capacitors when there are more than one in the same place, near the controller. The value for filtering capacitors is the bigger that the size admits. Don't forgot stability capacitors need for the switching controller leave one at least. Look at the datasheet and basic apliccation. The risk is that the chip loose the hability to control the output. The 97% of the chips has no problem but some may be.
I have frequently witnessed you and others elsewhere repair dead laptop circuit boards by soldering in a jumper wire. Nevertheless, I would like to know if it is a good practice to short over or avoid, say, a 1. resistor. 2. Capacitor (CMD) 3. The diode next to the HDMI port. 4 A MOSFET, either elevated or flat. whwn you cant get the spare. A week a go I managed to restored one of my dead HP Laptop Pavilion 15 DAR 62 REV A by following one of your tutorials when i used a jump wire/short to bypass a capacitor, a mosfet for the 3.3-volt display, and a diode adjacent to the HDMI socket.
When I see that you do NOT replace an smd ceramic cap and you also do not measure the capacitance of the new substitute or a donor... Similarly, when I see you put a copper wire (albeit thin) instead of a fuse... The two previous examples conflict (collide or hit my brain) trained under rigorous discipline in my professional training as an electronic at both the high school and university levels. If you, Master Sorin, would correct the two points mentioned...but I understand that it is a personal decision and under pressure to return that device as quickly and economically as possible. A sincere greeting from Mexico.

I always get backlash from using proper calibrated fuses, people are so ignorant and so quick to speak up.
All the caps are coming off my motherboard - it will last forever! KNOCK ON DOOR. Seriously though, the manufacturers could put a fuse in series with these caps, but I assume the FCC won't like that.
Drones, satellites fire a laser beam through the ceiling, laptop cover into the capacitors of blacklisted devices, to cause their memory effects, leading to malfunctions. It depends on the user’s behaviour, and the laptop’s software clarity.
Is it true that the capacitors also help stop mis-timing or false switching on the chips? Any blips / ripples should be cancelled with capacitors present so no false triggers.
yes could be a use for a cap... i build a game controller, i didnt use a cap before, but it didnt register the button press well.. placing a proper cap anything worked great..
Remember @Sorin, capacitor is a energy store. For the motherboard, it is better to have a capacitor close to the power-hungry receiver. If there is no capacitor, a larger current must flow in impulses. As a result, you have higher losses, EPI, a hotter board and who knows what else. And actually, I can come to terms with it. BTW: I'm 100% sure you left the electrolytic capacitor on the last set.
Wow, telling Sorin that a capacitor is an energy store... That is ridiculous. Everybody knows that, Sorin said that 1000 times... Mate, you are just funny if not ridiculous
Without capacitors the laptop will work but not work fine specially for a gaming laptop. So its better idea to replace the capacitor. It is not that important to be exactly the same value. Atleast Try with bigger one. Thank you.
I think Sorin frozen his knowledge in the older times, where he could have right. But not today in the laptop/gpu/ pc motherboards. He's talking about all capacitors, but it is only half-right, because other half of capacitors, which are AFTER the coils, on the output side are important, and without them, the motherboard will start but system can be unstable during some circumstances. Just download some motherboard schematics. Sometimes at the end you have changelog, where they pointed out what they changed in each MB revision. You can find there new capacitors and reasons why and where they added it, and what issue it fix. For me Sorin likes to find a lot of excuses for his laziness to not replace caps.
You didn't watch his videos, did you? He always replaced output capacitors. He says "don't confuse input capacitors with output capacitors" in this very video. Seems like you did confuse them, not Sorin
Today Sorin grew from Expert to Grand Master Expert in my standards, and I will expain.

Of all the repairs we see though it seems 99% of the failures are the caps Sorin speaks of.
I didn’t hear Sorin stating all capacitors are there for FCC matters.
No capacitor. No short capacitor. No job for technician. Just leave the mainboard like that way Sorin. So i can run my bussiness 😊😊😊😊😊

I think Sorin was clear at the begining of the video at .38 seconds saying he is going to talkf about Input capacitors, not output capacitors
You didn't watch his videos, did you? He always replaced output capacitors. He says "don't confuse input capacitors with output capacitors" in this very video. Seems like you did confuse them, not Sorin
