    I was able to repair my Alienware 17 r3 after much watching of your excellent channel . The 19V power rail cap short to gnd after 1st mosfet stage I used a diy voltage injector and some time. I am really very very pleased as a used 2nd hand Motherboard was expensive really far to expensive. I want to thank you for your time and effort recording your work helping out people like me

    This has been a really interesting video. Thanks for the work putting the footage together.
    I failed trying to fix a friend´s Lenovo X1 reflowing the onboard main memory (It was already dead but during the reflow, it posted and crashed a few times). I quitted after it stopped posting at all, but after seeing this video I think I might try to find new memory chips.
    Regarding the liquid metal... I have it on my own laptop (wich was hitting 100C previously) and it works, but after seeing this I have seen exactly where the danger is. Hopefully, I won´t have to see anything like that ever.

    Sorin, You needed Luck and Knowledge to come tothis result. I've been following your work and I want to say THANK YOU SIR. You have greatly expanded my knowledge. I wonder how expensive is this for the customer. The laptop itself is VERY expensive. If I was the customer I wouldn't have fixed it. The easiest thing would be the ebay and a replacement with a new one.

  • @mikebruestle218
    @mikebruestle218 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Sorin, not sure if you read comments on old videos, but here’s a tool that is NOT in your toolbox…
    A standard dishwasher. Yes, I’m serious. I’ve cleaned several circuit boards in the dishwasher. Works awesome. They come out spotless.
    As long as it’s all semiconductors and no cube relays, or other parts that can trap water, a dishwasher works awesome for cleaning boards that have very heavy dirt, spills, and gunk stuck to them.
    I typically put a light amount of detergent in the machine, and suspended the boards with wire bread twist ties. Let it run through the entire cycle, including the dry cycle.
    Search for “CERN dishwasher” and you’ll see that it’s even used by scientists. It’s great because you throw the board in, and go do other work while it washes!

    Sorin, nice job! I never thought memory chips are so resistant at high temperatures... And you did it manually... Obviously you have lots of experience. Many are using machines to center them, heat the board, control the temperature. And you are also very lucky to find the fault... True! "Worst fault ever"
