Thanks for uploading this. There are many other pepair-men who wouldn't upload videos when they failed. We can learn a lot from this thanks to your courage. I impudently hope you'll show us how you can deal with your customer in this case. Because this sometimes can happen when you run a repair business.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Darwin Noah thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hey Sorin.I recenly replalced a big capacitor on a tv psu board. I put by mistake the capacitor's plus to the negative on the board and the negative to plus on the board. Then I put the plug! That's it! I wish I had a camera on recordng.....! You should have been laughting for the next ten years! Unforgetable experience! I was running to one side while the board was flying to the other side!
Yeah the conclusion is that to not be a moron and use lab PSU and limit the current first and then use original adapter. . Insted electronics repair school shoud be how to not repair electronics school.
Nice one sir, I know you missed something, we all do no matter how good we are. No one is above mistake. I'm so proud of ur confidence when at the end after seeing the chip burning you were just you. I know I would have gone crazy. Thanks very much for for being an open minded person to post this video so that we can learn... Always your Fan!
Hey Sorin, I know you will somehow read my comment. I am a young electronics enthusiast. I learn alot from you. Have made it my lifes goals to see you in person as God wills. Thank you.
Thanks for the interesting video, not many repairmen will actually show fails. From my side I can add the following. Latitide E7240/7440 can run perfectly without CD3301B mounted on the motherboard. It's easy to bypass this IC and laptop and primary battery will work perfectly. Only downside is that Docking station will not be recognized by the motherboard, but most people never use docking station anyway. I had two E7240s with blown CD3301B fixed simply bypassing it. Don't know why owner of this laptop wanted this dead IC replaced.
Sorin cam asa iti vine cateodata sa iti bagi cv in ele.Si eu am patit ceva asemanator cu un lenovo acum vreo 3 zile.Cam greu sa ii explici clientului ca a luat foc pe masa.you are the best
Sometimes the magic smoke go out no matter what you do to keep it inside the circuit. It happen to all of us once an a while. Keep up the repairing spirit, the life is going on
even if you Fail in something (NO one is Perfect) you still teaching Us and this is very important, we watch your videos to learn from you Sorin rather you did it or fail, this is amazing you uploaded a video even if you failed in it, not like other youtubers uploading success videos like they don't fail at all, love you Sorin ive learned from you alot thank you very much and keep up the good work and the good videos
36:11 oh Sorin Sorin... I bet you were tired. Never use regular power supply after that risky/serious repair of burned tracks on the board. Never use a lab-power supply (with current limit) if you didn't use a multimeter to check for shorts after tracks repair. Never solder the chip again (after tracks repair), if you didn't start the board without that chip to check for shorts on the board. Never solder the chip again (even if you check that board is fine and has no shorts after repair) if you didn't check that chip alone on the bench for shorts (edge pins to big middle one -to quickly check if you have few ground pins as normal, or if you have almost all pin shorted to the big middle one) I know that you know all these rules - I'm only remind you -don't go for the short way, because once you will be lucky, but other time you will loose the board forever.
Sir, you did great job of attempting to reconstruct tracks. I like it very much. I watched it more than once. If i were in your place i would have not attempted it. Good job.
I'm so glad you made this video. I recently had customer with Lenovo laptop, has 3 badly burnt tracks from voltage regulator chip. I couldn't fix it either. Very tough repair. I feel better now knowing it wasn't just me! Told customer he would have to buy a new motherboard. Sorin, to me it looked like you may have soldered the track that was by itself to the wrong trace on the motherboard. If you would have scratched more burn away, I think you may see that you soldered to a trace for the pin to the left? If you still have laptop, you can scrape away more burnt board and see to be sure! Thank you for your videos!
Don't worry, Sorin, we don't have X-rays. Something like this has happened to everyone. Thank you for sharing even things that don't work out, that's teaching too.
Anyone can make mistakes, but it takes courage to publish it. Still, we learned something. Don't worry, your health is more important. Thanks for what you taught, good human.
You are our teacher we learn to much from you..but any ic after replacing it must check at least to point(not ic pins)on this section befor pluging power charger.. Your student Aram
Sorin, first of all...I've learned a lot from this video, probably one of the most important videos...THAT PATIENCE to rebuild those nasty tracks...for me it was the end when you've opened the laptop...a big respect for you man...you can't fix em all, but damn this was a nice lesson for me...I have to be more patient and keep trying...
Thanks for sharing sorin, unfortunately you can't win them all and i feel your pain. I'd be tempted to ditch that repair, just not worth your time and send customer away with another laptop or money back.
nice video man . that was not your fault . this board was so crazy to repair but i think at first you should find out why that chip blowed up like that before . maybe there was a short somewhere else . btw thanks for this crazy video we learn from our defeats ;) keep it on . GL
I think the deeper layers were shorted inside the board where those tracks burnt, since that black soot sh!t it leaves behind tends to be conductive....happened to me a couple of times and scared the crap out of me :))
As I wrote in one of your previos videos, even fails which are normal are learning video for us beginners. I know you feel bad because of this failed repair, but there is no much people who would even try to repair this. They will just say not repairable. So keep up and don't worry.
Hey sorin nice try but why you didnt use the power supply first instead of charge adapter, will be better to know if were a short before charger plugged. yes maybe putting 1 or 2 volts on that power rail. 3.3v or 5V rail. and inspect for current consumption. i Did a kind of job similar and after rebuild tracks, check for consumptions on that pads before conected the adapter. and voala, just to make sure not short on the chip and on pads. but dont frustrate yourself, that happend to me before and then did the mentioned above. keep going.
the motherboard has become conductive due to the burnt tracks, theres no way to fix it.. unless you can cut out the burnt part, but on a laptop its impossible as there's stuff on otherside of the board. ive seen this happen
Hahahah. I know that sucked, but it was a treat to see Sorin is human after all 😂. Great attempt at repair. Would have been awesome if it worked. Just as awesome to see failures too. We learn a lot from both. Keep up the great videos.
The care and method of plastic clip removal at this model was interesting, keyboard connections, hinge back plate. Hard drive adapter plate.Spring loaded cover. (half) removal, clear in exactly how to execute removal. I am well prepared to avoid this model. What I learned about was test to the individual trucks ...as well as the inspection at first view when case opened. I had a recent fail as I attempted an early model of Korg sequencer, with a hinge bi-plate. (no joy). Repairs can be difficult, some a big problem...... It would be a kindness if you might build a working LED strip. I have a motorcycle light to replace turn signals, and while the led strips are inexpensive, I am curious as to best method to supply power and ground....best type of wire, best voltage...and would love your view to that method, of which I think others might be interested. Hot glue to anchor, ect. I really enjoy your craftmanship at chip replacement. I bid you a fair season. M.
Fail or not, that's a nice video. It happened to Louis R., and he throwed his soldering iron, the computer, and went to the street for walking. I just wondered why the new chip was destroyed too. Take care Sorin.
Sir what is the issue with this board? New chip also burned. Now what? Probably we have to replace the motherboard. Videos are very knowledgeable and we learn a lot from them. What I like abour your channel that videos are unedited so we see same as what you see. 👍
i think this video still teaches us a valuable lesson !........... that even the best of us cant fix everything ?...............some things just dont want to be fixed............thats just the way it is ?...........hope you had a good swear !...........i find it helps !!! :)
For you it was a fail but honestly - I learned very useful trick in rebuilding the tracks and I think that many of viewers took some good advices from this video.
You mean Im not the only one that does this? === This is a great video. Hopefully we can see a follow up of what exactly went wrong. Im the eternal optimist I guess, I think it still can be repaired ;)
Sometimes the Burned chip is not the problem (as you know) something else give it way to much corrent and they cant hadle it and burn this is like replacing a fuse without knowing why the fuse blow up in the first place
That can happen. I've had 6 PC MBs that ran fine for a day or two then suddenly died, and it usually a chip shorting on the MB. It's like leaving electronics sitting for a long time allows old components to absorbs moisture, then when powered it blows the chips soon after..
Hello Mr. Sorin, I admire your work with thin wires under the microscope. You have a firm hand and you know a lot of interesting tricks :-) What kind of tweezers are you using (looks very good one)?
What a nice video. I'm stuck with the same model. When the power is connected to the laptop, the light on the power pack goes off after a min or two. At times the fan would spin just for a few seconds after pressing the power button without the battery then it would cut off. I did some tests are shown in most videos on RUclips but my tests seem to come out ok. How do I proceed?
The prognosis did not look good but for maximum dramatic effect you should not have tipped us off in advance that it was going to go pete tong! Fair play for giving it a go though :-)
I have a Dell E7440 that won't power on. If I plug in an AC Power Adapter to the laptop, the "power on" indicator on the AC Power Adapter will turn off by itself, seems that there is a "short circuit" in the laptop. I called Dell support and they told me that either the motherboard is bad, or the DC Jack is bad that need to be replaced. Do you have an easy way to determine whether the fault is at the DC Jack, or motherboard (without disassemble the whole laptop)? If it's the motherboard, do you have a tutorial video to show us how to get the motherboard (Dell E7440) replaced? Thanks!
Yes, if you don't fix the real problem when you replace a chip it's going to just do like the last one did. I could not have done any better though. If he had a current limiting dc plug could this have been avoided as far as catastrophically? If the replaced chip were to just have gotten hot he could have found the reason? Maybe he could lookup the pinout of the failed chip and those broken pads to have gotten more information. Maybe one of those pads clearly indicates a likely fault.

Hey Sorin.I recenly replalced a big capacitor on a tv psu board. I put by mistake the capacitor's plus to the negative on the board and the negative to plus on the board. Then I put the plug! That's it!
I wish I had a camera on recordng.....!
You should have been laughting for the next ten years!
Unforgetable experience!
I was running to one side while the board was flying to the other side!
haha that must be the big cap on the high voltage part :)

I can't believe he decided to fix that mess! He's gonna try again if he can find another chip! Bravo Sorin for never quitting!

OMG Sorin!!! just keep it up! It happens to me on a regular basis... Your way to "revive te tracks is really great... Thanks Sorin!!!
A lot to learn out of this one. I say a worthy upload! Don't let desperation get to you. Good one.

Fails are as instructive as success, thanks for this post again Sorin
nice video man . that was not your fault . this board was so crazy to repair but i think at first you should find out why that chip blowed up like that before . maybe there was a short somewhere else . btw thanks for this crazy video we learn from our defeats ;) keep it on . GL
Exciting ending! I like it! Totally surprised and I learned a new word!
I think the deeper layers were shorted inside the board where those tracks burnt, since that black soot sh!t it leaves behind tends to be conductive....happened to me a couple of times and scared the crap out of me :))
Its not your problem you are the best fixer
I'm sorry Sorin, but the end is very funny. :D
Great Try Thanks for Still Uploading !!!
I love it! Great finale! Sorry sorin, I enjoy this one too!
I thought you should have made it before i watched the end. But i like your videos. Great work.

It's never losted time. Always the lesson.
Never seen Sorin bleep out!!!! Is hilarious. Hey it happens......
sorin thank you very much for this video. You are brave and I am really learning from you because I am a beginner Good luck next time
It's nice to upload some fail videos from time to time just to remind us that not EVERYTHING can be fixed.
The Beep at the end scared the crap out of my dogs and they ran outside!!
still love your work man, we learn, even thou things like these chip got fried, now thats a true tech.
On minute 36 the wire was soldered on both sides, the 3rd wire you added on the left side was touching 2 points

He's dodgy, Sorin way!
He should know whyyyy the old tracks are gone befor butting the new chip !!
@@alaahaidar8029 I agree. I couldn't understand what was going to happen differently here after 2 failures before.
the motherboard has become conductive due to the burnt tracks, theres no way to fix it.. unless you can cut out the burnt part, but on a laptop its impossible as there's stuff on otherside of the board. ive seen this happen
carbon is like a resistor nasty stuff, this looks like its burnt through other layers of the board.

Sorin the end was so funny:)😂
"wow the tracks are gone!!!" Lol...i love watching your successes ..but your failures are so funny
I have learn so much from.you. i will attend some class from now on.you inspired a lot of young technicians.
Sir what is the issue with this board? New chip also burned. Now what? Probably we have to replace the motherboard. Videos are very knowledgeable and we learn a lot from them. What I like abour your channel that videos are unedited so we see same as what you see. 👍
upload more videos with failed repairs they are very informative. All stories dont have always happy end..
You have very steady hands wish i was the same.
Vous êtes le BOSS Patron ;)
Bummer. So it goes, you only learn when things go wrong.
Sorin i realy respect you
Very nice Christmas fireworks i really like it
No worries Sorin , you did the best you could . :- )
this is the real life man, waiting for the next video repairing that laptop
it is toast!
It is fucked till he buys new board
i think this video still teaches us a valuable lesson !........... that even the best of us cant fix everything ?...............some things just dont want to be fixed............thats just the way it is ?...........hope you had a good swear !...........i find it helps !!! :)
Great video Sorin!!! we learnt a lot with this, that we cant fix them all

I like you got the Romanian balls to upload this fail, will be a win next week. !
just goes to show we cannot fix them all unfortunately
Enjoyed the Video. We've all been there.
That can happen. I've had 6 PC MBs that ran fine for a day or two then suddenly died, and it usually a chip shorting on the MB.
It's like leaving electronics sitting for a long time allows old components to absorbs moisture, then when powered it blows the chips soon after..
Nice to by first.
The new desktop is greatly connected no flickering and nice quality picture
i like the end professor.
Holy crap! That sucks
Good job although i would in this case do jumpers after chip replacement. Soldering directly to each pin and then track. Thats just me though.
My first thought was that one of your highly calibrated fuse blew, lol.
Hello Mr. Sorin, I admire your work with thin wires under the microscope. You have a firm hand and you know a lot of interesting tricks :-) What kind of tweezers are you using (looks very good one)?

Great video😎👍
Tragic ending...
Waiting for part 2
Happy birthday to you!...
At least u did your best and at least tried great video 👍
First thing I do with an older laptop is change the bios battery. So many times, that solves startup issues...
The prognosis did not look good but for maximum dramatic effect you should not have tipped us off in advance that it was going to go pete tong! Fair play for giving it a go though :-)
ALICIA KEYS "THIS CHIP IS ON FIREEEEEEE"
haha :)
I have a Dell E7440 that won't power on. If I plug in an AC Power Adapter to the laptop, the "power on" indicator on the AC Power Adapter will turn off by itself, seems that there is a "short circuit" in the laptop. I called Dell support and they told me that either the motherboard is bad, or the DC Jack is bad that need to be replaced. Do you have an easy way to determine whether the fault is at the DC Jack, or motherboard (without disassemble the whole laptop)?
If it's the motherboard, do you have a tutorial video to show us how to get the motherboard (Dell E7440) replaced? Thanks!
bummer ohh wel you cant win them all but it was a decent try Sorin
Where is the chip for the keyboard located?
Forget it and go enjoy your weekend and on Monday the repair will seem much smaller.
Sorin your are THE BEST!! take it easy
Thank you to sharing your knowledge and experience with us. You are keep keening my interest more and more.
many thanks, sir .
thanks for sharing. i learned many.
Awesome work as always...those Chips Pain in the Ass...
good job you have do your best ,i see some capacitors aroud the chip suspected shorted
Yeah. That flux was indeed a great insulator... 😂🤣
please boss, I would ask to make these videos next in french, you are extremely !
Dell e7440 power off after some second .any help regarding this issue
Yes, if you don't fix the real problem when you replace a chip it's going to just do like the last one did. I could not have done any better though. If he had a current limiting dc plug could this have been avoided as far as catastrophically? If the replaced chip were to just have gotten hot he could have found the reason? Maybe he could lookup the pinout of the failed chip and those broken pads to have gotten more information. Maybe one of those pads clearly indicates a likely fault.
