Sorin is the best of all techs i have ever come across, some techs would waste time, schematics, board view etc but this senior is 100 times ahead, i love this man beyond capacity. "We have picture" 😂😂😂 long live Sorin
Big companies like Lenovo or HP or DELL would normally just say the motherboard is faulty and needs replacing, I've never heard of any of them employing staff to actually fix motherboards like Sorin does, they just tend to have FRU's rather than repair anything.
The MOSFET in the bottom right at 7:03 has flux residue on the top side, indicating it's generating a lot of heat. This could be the cause of the issue.
Why am I always so happy to hear those glorious words..we have picture 😅 puts a big smile on my face everytime....thank you sorin for sharing your excellent knowledge with us 🙏
Master SORIN... I'm going through my Chemo sessions and really enjoying your quick videos almost daily..... Thanks for the excellent experience with you.
The customer is BS. Lenovo would never try to diagnose a board and list what is specifically wrong with it. They will just replace a component such as the main board, memory module, drive, etc. not give some shady list of what they think is wrong. My thoughts are the customer poked around the bored a bit themselves after watching a few of your videos realized they couldn't fix it and made up some BS story packed it up and sent it to you.
Definitely agree that Lenovo didn't diagnose this laptop, but I feel that it is more likely a repair shop with a Lenovo sticker on the window & the customer then believing it was a Lenovo-owned service centre. Either way, misdiagnosed, but the laptop now has a bit more time before retirement 🙌🏻
I don't see why the customer would waste time making up that BS and pretend that it is from the service. I think this actually was in a service and he believed that this information will actually be helpful for Sorin. Maybe this was not a Lenovo service but a Lenovo authorized service center. Once I got an Asus laptop which the customer first brought to an authorized service (I think I verified this but this was a long time ago so I am not 100% sure now if I verified). The service prepared a report which had a photo of liquid damage on the mainboard. The customer told me that this liquid damage occurred long before the fault. The report also included a useless technical description of the fault, a repair price which was similar to or higher than the laptop price (which was 6 years old), and maybe their conclusion that it is not worth fixing. I fixed it by replacing an LDO. Then I carefully tested it and it worked fine. Until I returned it to the customer...

I have a Lenovo t540p It switched off while i was using it an since then when i try to switch it on the screen doesn't come on.The keyboard backlight comes on,the fans spin an the cpu becomes warm,it also charges perfectly but the screen does not come on. What could be the problem
1.2 amps can seem slow, but that is what a good charge controller should do when the battery is close to flat, it should start to speed up at around 10~20% charge, and then slow down at 80% again.
buck converter coils is outputing lover voltage to supply something, 19v convert to 3,3v, 5v, 1,2v, 0,9v...... and he checkin resistance to main groud if the low power line short, somethimes is LDO converter chip 3v3 for power button, bios, chipset...
professor, I have an HP board reference HDL 50 LA-D702P, it turns on in two seconds and turns off only for 2 hours, what is the professor's idea in this case?
When the priority is "Get the repair out the door making profit for the company" rather than "What's the actual problem?" (I call them "Parts Chuckers")
It's really complicated when you have, in a big company, lots of admins above you, in some cases they give you a small amount of time to fix the fault. They come with power points with graphs, yeah, some professionals, do copy pastes from emails as soon as the fault is complicated or go out of the script, lol. I am too slow for big companies, so they say!
Warranty service don't look any further than just diagnosing an issue with the motherboard and quoting for replacing it. They don't go any deeper unless they are refurbing it to sell again.
Salut Sorin! Acum ceva timp ti-ai cumparat un osciloscop, ti-a folosit la ceva pana acum? Nu stiu daca se justifica sa am asa ceva pe birou, sa nu stranga praf degeaba :) Multumesc!
Sorin ! But why that MOSFET died? What make to die that MOSFET? Because ok you find the died component but did you find the reason why the MOSFET died?
@fabini14 if a MOSFET fail there is a reason. So soldering in a new MOSFET may can work only for a week and then fails again so definitely you need to identify also the reason why that MOSFET died to eliminate also the cause that makes that MOSFET to die!
@poklop252 no on earth that a laptop will draw 20A current so if this MOSFET died is because something in the circuit after the MOSFET have a problem. This means that need to investigate what is wrong on that circuit that made the MOSFET to die
@@SymbolTech21 spikes are over 50A when you plug-in battery there is nothig to limit amps from capacitors all over the board, sometimes mosfet and ceramic capacitors and chips get shorted on power-line
Hai Sorin you can make a video how to read and right ec chip with JTAG soldering wires on motherboard for Lenovo laptop like x1 yoga gen 5 as example mec 1663 chip
@ i have sematics but it didnt work like example 3.3 volt line witch cable to put if somone can make a video of it whit good explanation i sorin is e verry profesional 🙃 he gives good explanations also his dogy repairs are profesional
big companies has experts only for changing parts not for fixing[ and they are paid very well and they know only 10 percent on electronics] ,so Sorin knows that as we others know so why judge them 😂😂😂😂
I don't think that Lenovo, Dell, HP... have qualified specialist technicians, as I noticed that they hire no more than a child and barely disassemble the devices and don't know what's going on!
As with a lot of companies now, they are not in business to keep old devices working, they want to move you into new devices... why have you pay a few $$ when they can have you pay more $$$$ and keep their profit margin high... a win for them... Is the company going to invest 1 hour of time finding the fault or 1 minute to sell you a new board... it's all about the bottom line...
I used my Samsung Galaxy tablet for years without any problems until one day it crashed while using a banking app, reset itself and then shut down completely. My tablet hasn't turned on since that day, and I can't see if it's charging. When I took it to the authorized service, they said it was a foreign product and they didn't handle repairs. However, I bought it from a Samsung store in a shopping mall. It contains very valuable pictures and videos for me. Since I live in a village, I can't go to the city often. Can you make a diagnosis by looking at how the fault occurred? Because if the battery or screen needs to be changed, I am thinking of ordering it online and installing it myself. Have a nice day.

Hello 🤝Good Job 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋
have you ever had your tip of the multimeter slip on another pin and damaging an ic? what would you do then?
what caused the mosfet to get shorted in the first place? what if you resolder a new one and gets burnt aswell??
Nice one Sorin....
Good job!
Another great fix! 🍕🍕🍺🍺

Sorin, Lenovo didn’t miss the mosfet… they simply didn’t bother and they felt it was far more profitable to sell a motherboard 🤷🏻♂️
