"We will replace the capacitor later, don't worry!" (Grin) 🙂
Sorin must stamp this on t-shirts!
😁🤣😁
😂🤣🤣
Wink wink

"We will replace the CAPACITOR later don't worry He-He-He-He" I love that man!
When I used to do repairs many years ago, there was always 1 or 2 customers that would try it on with you, so the shop I worked in had the customers fill in a short form with a description of the fault and an agreement/disclaimer at the bottom of it that they had to sign as part of the book in process, 1 copy was given to the customer and another was taped to the case of the machine, that way if parts took time to come in before the job could be finished a few short notes could be written on it before it was put on the rack, as when your dealing with lots of machines every day its easy to forget where you were before you stored it! it was also useful to make sure we had the usernames and passwords -- which of course was my 'pet hate' when they werent provided, great job as always Mr Sorin
Sorin, i am an electronics engineer, working and designing laptop and desktop motherboards. I know you're not the biggest fan of replacing caps BUT i have to tell you, that the most caps on laptop boards are relevant. The smaller everything gets, the less place do we get to place caps. On desktop boards, we can place big electrolytic caps, but on laptop boards every little place for caps counts to get rid of the ripple from switching DC-DC PSUs. Of course, the system will work for now but things can get really unstable under load or special conditions. So i'd really recommend to really replace them. You can see that they are used when they fail... and not placed for fun. I recommend to buy such a book of caps, so you have every size.
I watch a lot of the videos produced by Alex at NorthRidgeFix. He never ever removes a shorted cap without replacing it. He even has a capacitor notebook he sells and uses to replace the bad caps. Sorin's work is fine for what he charges, its really inexpensive for his labor for some reason. Ive always been surprised Sorin doesn't use "BoardView" more often. Alex assess the problem and goes straight to "BoardView" to pin-point the problem. He is 10 times faster than Sorin
@@user-pe3yi7hn1s right... also alex skips some things as a no fix after some attemts... sorin sometimes spends hours and hours for few bucks. i like both to watch but alex is more precise and straight forward but sometimes i also like sorins dodgyness :D
@@user-pe3yi7hn1s
Alex at NorthRidgeFix makes good and intersting video he make it seem very easy to repair a pc motherboard plus his videos are edited perfectly but sorins is the OG he choose the hard way and show us the real time that the pc board repair take and for me i am a beginer and i will prefare sorins way.
When Sorin says that he will put a working capacitor in place of a damaged one, he will FOR SURE do it;))))))
and after it in his smile you allrdy know FORRR SUREEEEEEEEEEEE he is replacing it! :) hjahahahah damn i rly love the man:)
@@GlishaSo ;))) Exactly, Buddy! Sorin is also blasting me into space!
Hahahahaaaaaa!!! True!!!
You are one of very few people in the world I would buy a used car from. Except - I bike ;-) Thanks, Knud, Denmark
19:04 - Moment that we were waiting :) Its becoming meme of channel ;)
Excellent, Sorin.
Happy new year master 🎉
awesome!!! i just repaired a similar model of asus (UX334FL) thx sir!! you the best
great repair as always :)
Good job mate 👍
Nice fix sorin the alcohol is still useful i thought that the thermal cam will pinpoint the failed capcitor but it didn't
Great job!
i cannot believe what people say and do to get out of paying .....sorin you need a stand for the thermal camera ???? great video ...
That’s the way to do it the termal camera do the job agin👌And thank you that you teach as what to not do when taking a job🙏🙏What camera you use to record his videos?
Thank you.
Great teacher
11:33 - I don't understand, customer comes back 2 months later and complains about key not working after hinge fix. Do you have a repair policy? Should include such terms to prevent customers coming back for issues not relating to the original repair, I have these in my repair policies, simply prevents (or makes it too hard) for customers to accuse us of breaking their device after it has been repaired to working condition. The fact a customer accused you of breaking the laptop after they had paid for the repair, took it home and used for it 2 months, should not warrant any free replacement or further repair. Be firm my Sorin, your a business, not a charity, you're too kind.
i agree. most shops woudl actually break your laptop and even steal and replace parts from it if they can. thats why i try to fix my own lol
من داخل دو سه تا از کانال همکارا هستم ، واقعا اموزشهای شما نابه من ندیدم اونها از این مدل کذاشته باشن برای همکارا ، ممنون مهندس جان
I just start the video, ,i had the same issue on my laptop a few days ago. Didnt check it yet but i guess it's a mosfet on the connector side... well let's see ^^
Hello , i like yours videos and the new caps too mutch
nice job
This is the laptop with screen in the touchpad it always blows my mind
Sorin ! I think I have fixed and sold this exact same laptop this particular one 🤣🤣🤣
good fix
Don't worry ... :) :) :) I love you Sorin
You should start uploading every video specially when you place capacitors 😂👌
Had the same once - customer came that he needs a battery changed, but it came its not the battery as its not working on the power supply...
Most customers don't tell the truth.
Great 👍
I had the exact same issue on my ASUS and I was able to power it on (thanks 4 your guides!). But without that cap it has some strange behaviours (restarts) .. there's a chance you remember that cap value? 🙏
I have a dell inspiron 13 series 5000 that wouldn't charge. I tried every tip and trick, none wouln't work until I changed the motherboard completely, I didn't have time to repair anything. That was a month before this video comes out.
don't forget to replace the cap hahahahahaha🤣🤣
never does🤣🤣🤣
Hi, by any chance you remember that faulty cap value? I'm facing the same issue
complimenti Ottimo, i cliente furbi ci sono in tutto il mondo
Great
Hi Sorin, I remember you used to inject a higher voltage in your first videos (like 3/5v) so that the short would be easier to spot, especially without a thermal camera, but now you keep it quite low, like around 1v..I mean, if a cpu/gpu mosfet is shorted, that chip is already gone anyway, isn’t it? What am I missing?
It's not actually always the case, I'm not sure about the logic behind it, but I've fixed a couple of gaming laptops with shorted CPU/GPU mosfets just by replacing them. For this reason, it's crucial to inject a quite low voltage, because if you leave that mosfet there (Ofc you have to, you didn't spot the problematic component yet) and inject some voltage, the IC on that power rail will get hot, in these cases either the CPU or the GPU. It's really a gamble, but worth trying!
We will replace the capacitor later... 😃😃😃
king! :)
Don't you have a database/software combined with a ticketing system? Or make you a small access database or excel sheet. After this repair put a YES in the field "customer is fraud? NO/YES ". When he comes back two years later with a phone or with a coffee machine for a repair say "what is your name?" ...."give me a second " You look in your software for this name and say: "I am very sorry, we cannot help you, have a nice day!"
Hi sir please guide me how to set my bench power supply to desired current i want to set. if i short the probe it will sparc and create smoke😃
First set the voltage to zero, then short the leads & increase the current to your target. Then release the leads & increase your voltage to the desired value. In that way you can avoid sparking!😀
Sorin. Why did it boot into BIOS when it clearly had a SSD plugged in and active.
Eric
Gpu and cpu combine Asus it great technology's
Do you have some Asus schematics or smth?
Still you didn't change the capacitor..
sorry sorin but i have to tell you that if you had another battery and charged and to put instead the the one in the laptop the laptop would work fine until battery discharged[i dont know how you missed that]so the problem was another thing with charging adapter input and the customer was right or someone else or he tried with another battery
what chip is that near the shorted caps?
i dont know man
TAS5766M - Smart Amp
Edit: I just realized you meant the caps near the the cpu supply, no idea. The one i pointed was the closest to the shorted cap removed.
as Nicolas Brenta said - this is amplifier for sound/speakers
Sorin when will you upgrade your microscope media recorder? It has very poor image quality.
I think his microscope is good but the lighting creates some glare
@@yosef4208 Well, pls compare it to northridgefix's image quality. He has the same microscope (now he has a newer black version but is doesn't matter, he used the same blue one for long) but the thing that record the image is totally different, and has a waaaaay better image quality, just look at the sharpness etc.
@@Lackooo84 he use some antiglare lense/stuff to microscope make it very clear, i think sorin's microscope is okay, but just the glare make it bit blurry
@@hatemaqil7649 Don't think so, if you check closely you can see that framerate is also laggy. Check northtidgefix's older videos when he didn't use the anti glare light yet. Image quality/resolution/small details etc. is waaaay better.
@@Lackooo84 Isn't NF microscope like displayed on a screen? Compared to is Sorin actually is looking through the microscope?
Idk i think sorins setup is good enough personally
why didnt try charging the battery first then you can said the customer lying or not??
the customer said he try another charged battery and the device came on
Hi, can you repair my laptop?. The battery connector to the motherboard should be solderd.
❤
Dear sir, I have dell 7567 laptop which has themal limit (74 degree) on gtx 1050ti. When the hotspot temperature reaches 74 degree, this laptop shut down. Could you how to fix it or remove themal limit?
Hi, 74 degree is not too much for this configuration. Did u replace termal greese? If yes try to download new firmware from official site and update it. Also it can be because power supply doesnt work correct.
Hello from an interested viewer. I had a very similar finding to a similar build as laptop. I managed to trace the fault to a video chip. The internal solder had a partial failure. Only after a full warm up would fail be shown. But I am very curious as to where this unit may have been subject to "over clock" settings? Overclock setting with gaming thruput would perhaps be a causal link to the failure...you see. There could be other cause.
The owner of such a unit would face a replacement as motherboard just over 330.US. And where a replacement laptop as i5 build would be as double or triple the board replacement. However the thermal limit is a very "hard fault" with a component as "melt down"....with some hazard. First released as 2017 build, there might be advantage to replace the laptop.
Some parts only laptops are available as ebay. In the past, I have gone to such means as to order several, which provided me with spare parts in plentiful number. Here, this requires the patience to fully disassemble the motherboard and all support cables. And some determined commit to effect repair as self directed workbench job to completion. I like such activity and find repair enjoyable. But I have had failure in such enterprise.
I humbly suggest. 1. replace motherboard 2. Find a best avenue to replace laptop
as the best available options. Thermal defeat might cause burning, huge smoke hazard. I would discard that view. M.
@@mcgama88 Thank you for your kind reply. I totally agree with you.
@@rudolfra7736 Thank you sir for kind reply.
@@user-ny6ig5vg7w Watching the wonderful craft and ability of Master Soren is so fun. In part, because I hope to design a device for automobile. Where as I carry my laptop, such a powerful tool for work, for manage as banking, manage as contact to friends and family. I like them but as device, they can have complex problems. And so many interesting choices. As features, as storage, as connect domain to phone and home control and photo, video end user. And fail as when I spill coffee to keyboard.
I did take notice that I had not mentioned battery test. As Soren has demonstrated in his recent post. Perhaps a new battery would be a solution, but may have a cost as could be directed to an upgrade? I bid you fair winds as from half a world away. M.
that laptop takes 19.6v 3.34a and you have it at low settings !
Again job well done. Good safety check, but I am not sure what this business is with the black gloves.. becoming a pro?😅
The charger is rated at 3,42 A , so chargint at 3 Amps is good
during cpu, ram, gpu, video memory, ssd in idle? so 0,42amp left for heavy load stress? It is hard to believe
@@Radek__ yeah really it proably uses like 5 amps
please read my stupid question how do you remember screws places ??
This is a stupid question that bothers me as well so let me join you in asking. currently, i use a piece of brown cardboard that i cut to size and draw the rough features with a marker. when i remove screw, i punch it into the same location on the cardboard. I can store the cardboard and screws dont fall out. I write a make and model on the cardboard so it can be used another time. This is time consuming and it gives me fear that if something goes wrong with the cardboard, i wont be able to know perfect locations for every screw. This is bad dependence. I need more freedom.
Some laptops have every screw marked on plastic like M2x3, but even then you need to recognize that screw as screws are not marked. One device can have screws that differ by type, thread, thickness and length. Put a long screw in a shallow hole and it will short something.
How does Mr. Sorin never worry about screws at all?
@@suediem9315 The same way he doesn't worry about replacing capacitors :D . Your method is perfectly fine, using cardboard.
@@BrainHurricanes it works. But it makes me dependent. Perhaps you are right.
Allegedly it was Joseph Stalin, who quipped: "Huge quantity has a quality of its own". Maybe after disassembling and reassembling 500 laptops, the subconscious brain takes over and you can do it right without even thinking, just like you ride a bicycle. In this case, I am handicapping myself by cheating using the cardboard.
@@suediem9315 yeah putting the wrong screw in wrong place can damage the little holes they are so weak and no screws will fit in there lol
Hi Sorin, what model thermal camera are you using? Thank you!
Description.....
HTI. 1000$ camera
@@EsportsTVs😮 thanks
26:15 hmm it is weird. Original charger has 3.42amps, you have now 2.96amps in cpu gpu semi-idle and battery charging (I know that in Windows, cpu will go in deep idle)
but, still it is weird - that only 0.46amps left for gpu and gpu memory in 3d load, and also for cpu and ram, and ssd stress? 0.46amps for that? It sounds like charger will be overloaded. I'm not sure that 2.96amps is okay
would the current get lower as the battery charges a bit?
battery was fully dead. so current would be very high initially charging faster. when it gets to certain charge level, it will resist the charge current. or think of it like this, when it is empty, potential (V) difference is high. current flows faster as there is not much resistance (V=IxR R down so I is up) like when you inflate a tyre, when empty, it is easier to push air into it, once it is near full, it gets more difficult/slow to push more air, as the pressure (resistance) is gonna try to prevent more air in. same once when the resistance goes up, your current goes down. (adapter V is fixed) so what changes is current/resistance.
I suspect the system it will lower the charging current depending on the system load.
@@electronicsrepairschool good idea - this can be possible.
Thank you for answer,
and all good for you in new year Sorin :-)
greetings from Poland.
replace the capacitor later🤨😉
HEY BUD. I COMPLETELY GET IT. BUT IF THE BATTERY WAS 2900 MA. AND THE SHORT WAS ONLY 1500 MA. THEN IT STILL MIGHT POWER ON IT WOULD JUST KIIILLLLL THE BATTERY IN 30 SECONDS
I can bet and win..... That capacitor was not replaced 😂😂😂
Unplug the battery and charge it up. Plug back in and see if it powers on.
tough times - probably 5% of the society (and all of television) are lying :)
Hmm, concerned about costumers disputes, but not afraid not to put new cap back?
Costumer can open the laptop and see it himself and dispute that repair was not done properly?
LIKE I ALWAYS SAY. AND PEOPLE GET MAUD WHEN SAY IT
ITS ALWAYS A CAPACITOR. %95%
I HOPE YOU CLEAN ALL THESE FANS WHEN YOUR IN THERE
No capacitor no shortet capacitor)))
poate vine dupa doua luni cu displayul spart si zice ca din cauza la capacitorul tau :)))
Just to comment in first 10 :D
i call it a liar.
says it works so later if u cant fix, they will say it was working when i gave it to u
May be 4 th 😂
