Wow! Can't believe. Ram repair is unheard of. Can't believe. It seems the only thing Sorin can't fix doesn't exist. You methodological approach is like no other. Nice work Sorin
definitely not. there are plenty of people fixing stuff worth $0. I've fixed lots of stuff like that and documented it on my site repair logs for ~20 years.
80£ to fix a laptop that doesn't turn on. Fixing the 4GB Memory Module it was free of charge. Same idea, if a laptop comes with frozen bios and need 1 minute work. You charge a laptop that doesn't turn on, not a frozen bios. In the other way, you have to work like 3-4 hours to fix a laptop and get paid 80£, this is also something that happens to our job. Get used to it.
@@ChrisPavlidesbut does the computer shop not know that it's a ram issue when they have the caps lock light blinking? If they don't know such simple thing, is it worth paying them 80 euros?
This is amazing video. the attention to detail was brilliant. i was facing similar situation with liquid damage and after this video i go back to the microscope and pay extra attention to the pads, and BEHOLD there was a broken track right at a tiny via. Soldered a jumper wire to the other side and now RAM works perfect. I almost gave up and replaced it with a new one but this video just gave my RAM a little extra life. THANK YOU SORIN!!
Hi Sorin, enjoy your videos. I have a saying that I taught many systems engineers in my trade. " Don't look for a complicated solution to a simple problem" We all do it 🙂
Unreal cool repair! Surprising after brainwashing that touching memory wrong is harmful. Not only did Sorin's calibrated wire work, his repair proved that heating memory chips to 350 degrees and moving it slightly did not kill it! Not following his own logic demonstrated something very interesting.
Hope you feel better soon.. Watching your work and i must say that your work is outstanding... don't change a thing you are amazing..... I wont send you candy.... ,yust promise you won't change a thing the way you work...
Logic would also state to try the repaired ram in the ORIGINAL socket. This is where it was when it came in, and this is where the water damage likely occurred, so it would make sense to also ensure it works (no doubt it would work!) in the OG socket. This would also prevent a 'come back' if the customer puts a stick in that socket and it fails. Again the testing of the OG socket would be purely for video footage as I'm sure it would work without issue. Great video Sorin!
"Coming from a local repair shop", imagine being a computer repair shop and not being able to diagnose a dead ram module, something that in this case costs 10€ brand new and with warranty. It's literally one of easiest things to diagnose since you can pop a good module in to test it. Computer clearly turns on and they write "no power". If the client asks why he's being charged 80 pounds for something so cheap they'll say "you pay for our years of experience and knowledge", not that they needed to send the machine to someone else. Enough with the rant, good job as always Sorin.
well, in that case they are good to pay....if they do not know simple things or are not willing to do simple work then they should pay.....for the job regardless of how simple it is.
The guy paid 80 pounds specifically because of their lack of experience and knowledge. If they actually knew what they were doing they would have correctly diagnosed the ram and replaced it. That's why you should never take faulty items to noobs or cowboys.
@@g4z-kb7ct You misunderstood my message. When i said "Client" i meant the laptop owner. When i said "they'll say", i meant the repair shop. And maybe it's different in your country but in mine people don't usually carry around a golden plaque saying they are noobs or cowboys. You have no way of knowing which one is a good technician or not.
Love your videos. Wish you were around when I worked in electronic repair. Hey one thing I dont get is why dont you use fiber pens to clean up tarnished contacts or to get ready for soldering. They do a much better job than scraping with a metal probe. The solder has a better surface to adhere to as well.
13:22 - Remember, even if you cant see logic at one moment, there must be some logic, so dont give up. Eventually once you figure out logic, you figure out solution. For 10$ device or 10.000$. Its all about solving the riddle.
First thing i leaned fixing LT's when it powers on but no pic is CHECK THE RAM!! It could then be a ton of things if thats not it. always check the obvious and corrosion or the simple stuff. Use a known good part is also very good at checking ram, video output. After that dont work, it gets harder!!
Many times I met that manufacturer of the integrated circuits that you reflux (SK hynix)... when I investigated him I understood why he had "crushed" his competitors and at the rate he is going he will turn them into "dust"; Another way of saying it, it will be the "apple" of memory ICs...uff.
Ram is really cheap. If the customer check google for the flashing lights and open it self he could get that repair itself for free. But great work as always. Love to hear WE HAVE PICTURE :)
Sorin should do the quiz. question 1 . Iam addicted watching you videos. 2. can not wait for "WE HAVE A PICTURE" 3. I love when it starts "Today we have a nice laptop here" 4 all above
those modules are dirt cheap , many of us got some laying around ... was it really worth repairing? I mean just for sake of not creating ewaste? I guess....
Hi Sorin, good job... even if you lose for i while the logic going reflowining the chip and not and not to follow the liquid demage... but is normal we are human..... and for @dfear the channel is called electronics repairs... i understand that ome time is cheaper replacing then repairing but not in this case i think and in any case we always have to try, what are you doing in this channel otherwise? bye Sorin..

he didn't recognize it was good or bad. he just assumed it was good. if it was a faulty ram chip there's no way to know except swap it for another good chip. that definitely would not have happened here.
Wht kid of computer shop is that that gave you the jobs ? It seems to not do anything by themselves, just forward the job to you and add an extra charge.
that's normal.... when in doubt, delegate. doing nothing and taking easy money for free is easier than thinking. that's been going on for many centuries.
Nothing beats the feeling when ... 'we have picture'.

literally the only guy who has the patience to fix a 6 GBP ram module!
definitely not. there are plenty of people fixing stuff worth $0. I've fixed lots of stuff like that and documented it on my site repair logs for ~20 years.
fun and pleasure is one thing but it's not cost effective if u are running a business.@@g4z-kb7ct
a nice repair. first time watching you fixing a RAM, wire soldered in one shot. thank you
80£ for 4GB of memory. Totally worth it.
why the computer shop didn't even try to change the ram
80£ to fix a laptop that doesn't turn on. Fixing the 4GB Memory Module it was free of charge.

Yo keep it up man you good i would like to give more but am a bit poor yk thats why i learn to repair from u ❤

Repairing a RAM stick instead of replacing it, wow! Long live repair and right to repair
Every time I had a bad RAM repair, I just tell the customer to replace it. I think Im digging deeper to repair one now

@@orange11squares by the way, when I said "client" I was talking about the owner of the laptop.
Possibly it was dead and no error code indicated faulty RAM. "Could be?!" 😂

my appreciation to you Mzee Fundi wa kazi
Excellent Sorin!, super calibrated wire at the RAM then, A1!
What a nice repair! and a save to the customer, most of the time this kind of fault ends with a new ram stick
I appreciate the persistence. Obviously a 4Gb chip isn’t worthy of repair but what an awesome job.
Congratulations. You are a great techinian. Greetings to you from Brazil mate.
(11:12) This SI is sorin. My soul has returned to my body.
Going to component (or track) level on a memory card puts you on quite a stata. Excellent job ...

ciao Sorin, why not checking the original slot where the liquid damage happened? cheers G.
amazing.... thanks sorin

Always enjoyable!
Better than factory.
It calls for proper calibrated merch, "Could be?!" 🎉😂😂
Pro Tip:- I use a Rubber Eraser ink side to clean the RAM pins, I live on the coast and the salt air oxides the pins. B4L

2. can not wait for "WE HAVE A PICTURE"
3. I love when it starts "Today we have a nice laptop here"

Small correction: WE HAVE PICTURE ... Now the laptop IT'S open. 😁
I was yelling the trace is broken. My wife looking at me sideways 😝.
U can see clearly the break on the pad pin connection of pin 4 ^^
good job!!!!!!
Which temperature did you set for flowing the ram chips?
I like your work
those modules are dirt cheap , many of us got some laying around ... was it really worth repairing? I mean just for sake of not creating ewaste? I guess....
thankyou that was very helpful :)
Great job

nice job
Perfect sir😊
first long boot is memory training, it takes longer on ddr5
I would test that ram now cause of reflow...

Perfect 👏👏
Pentium Gold is approximately 1.5 potatoes in terms of CPU power
We had picture before at 7:33 but he didn't see it.
Thats that good one
Pentium gold means above celeron and below i3.
@Sorin how did you recognize that it's not a faulty RAM chip
he didn't recognize it was good or bad. he just assumed it was good. if it was a faulty ram chip there's no way to know except swap it for another good chip. that definitely would not have happened here.
How you decide for this technique
4GB DDR4 Sodim $21 CDN repairing memory stick a heck of a lot more charge wise to the shop
But it's another otherwise perfect RAM saved from being thrown away.
😂😅😅😂😅 10:35 'we have picture'. Great work.
👍
Sorin's Magic Flux....
Can't believe...Caaaan't believe ❤
I got 5 long 3 short hp omen do you know what is the problem
You did not check it in the original socket to see if it was OK there!
Luckily, the broken pin is low speed SDA. Not sure repairing high speed interface pins such way leads to stable RAM functioning.
Nice one
It's a pizza 🍕 😂
"we have picture" .... pizza all round :D

nice nice NiCe repair
Wow, we would have just replaced the RAM module. Nice.
RAM memory, that would be RAMM, right? :)
Yeah, I thought about that too. But saying RA memory is kinda weird :D
