Thanks T for the tip on the disassembly tool, my set arrived today. Much easier to do than my improvised tools and no blood spilled :-)
WOW...WOW...WOW...What a professional procedure you used..everything done was so cleanly...Nice
Excellent tool, indispensable for technical assistance in notebooks.
Thank you so much sir 🙏 now I am not going to pay anyone for learn how to repair laptop battery! Thanks a lot
Thank you so much for you video. It is very well explained and has very good quality.
Good work!
great instructions. Thanks!
Nice and great tutorial
Many Thanks 👌, beautifully explained. God Bless 🙌
Very professional
Now i understood why the new cells i replaced are not working. Thanks a lot for this informative video
You are welcome.
wtf!! I've never seen solder just melts like butter within 1 nano second 🤯.it looks like solder melts even before touching it!!!so cool
Good soldering iron like the Hakko, Goot etc with temperature control, good bits makes it possible. We in India know only the Solderon brand. There is something called low melt solder which eases the melting process too. This low melt soldering lead is different to what we generally use.
Perfect, very beautiful, the clip
Perfect work better than the manufacturer
Nice.!! Continue good work😮
Thanks ✌
Nice tuto, and nice cells holder 😅
Thanks :)
Nice!
Thanks a lot .....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fratilor, nici nu m-am asteptat ca peste Prut si mai ales la Iasi, unde studiaza mai multi Basarabeni, exista baieti talentati sa creeze astfel de utilaje.... Respect!!! Faceti un instructaj si in limba Romana va rog. Va salut din Republica Moldova. Multumesc.

Good video
thank you
I understand that your device is designed for computer repair services, but you could think, even in your interest, to widen the target of buyers by creating a low price subscription for the reset function useful for the hobbyist, but not with the professional, e.g. 1 reset for month (or 1 every two months) ?
As far as I understand it is only a matter of software (you do not have hardware expenses to provide this service), so it is highly scalable, which for you means pure gain if the offer does not affect purchases by professionals.
I tell you this because the product is very attractive to us nerds, but the professional subscription is a big deterrent . The 10 days of free reset are a step on the right way, but a bit anxious and in any case does not justify the expence. Good work!
It is not so simple. Since other software costs 1000$ I would way 249$ is good for most customers.
@@nipembedded9976 Still, You need to found out a "Personal License" which give a certain count, lets say 10 or 30. That will make us interested in buing the hardware. What "other Software" cost is not so relewant, because we will not buy that software eighter.
Good video thanks, but I think you have to refix the temp. sensors to the battery cells to avoid overheating problem.
The temperature sensors only sends the temperature to the chip, it has nothing to do with overheating.
Loved it. I have an old dead laptop battery for a Toshiba L510 that I've wanted to fix for a while. However, I've taken the pack apart and disconnected the cells from the PCB. I've left it alone for about a year now. Would it be possible to interface with the PCB after having left it disconnected from any power source for as long as I have? Is there any chance of reprogramming the onboard chip or will the volatile memory be gone and the battery has no chance of refurbishment?
If the chip was unlocked (no PF set) before disconnecting the cells, then everything should be fine after reconnecting the cells. If it was locked then there is no way to unlock it, you will need our NLBA1 device to unlock it. Note that there is a fuse on the PCB, in some cases the chip blows it up and it has to be fixed.
The best programming trick: discharge in Windows 10x, and discharge once in Bios. When the battery becomes stronger by repeatedly doing this, new performance and energy saving features turn on, they are off by default, so it is good to do it with brand new laptops, too. When you sometimes use devices with full lcd backlight and full power, a little coil deliberately discharges to enhance the battery. Same with phones and power banks. The coil turns on using legal Sim card for net once.
This is complete nonsesnse! 😂
Hello, is it possible to programe and reset chip of a hp battery using svod3?
As far as I know NO, SVOD3 is just a simple reader like any Arduino or CP2112. But it is not capable to bypass the security of the chip and reset it.
the best way to open or disassemble the laptop battery..pour some drops of petrol in the connector holes and shake it ..then twist slightly with both hands then it will open without any tool and it will also not crack or destroy
Very small drops of petrol is a good idea to dissolve the adhesive but more petrol could damage the case.
For an ultrasonic welded plactic case just like 80% of the laptop battery cases are, i wish you very good luck with the petrol. :)
@@torture66666 i always have good luck while using petrol..u try too
NLBA1 a nice tool but Insane prices. 349$ + chip programmer licens 249$ pr. year. A new battery usually cost 25-40$.
Are there any other cheaper alternatives or DIY build projets that can do the same?
@miwa4783 i think it is for commercial use , you can fix batteries and make money .
Look up Battery EEPROM Works & Smart Battery Workshop software. 😉😊
Our tools are definitely not for DIY.
thanks alot, it was too informative vedio I like repairing. I am in Afghanistan how to learn it completly
You can learn a lot of useful information in NLBA dedicated forum.
@@torture66666 how can I get it?
Would it be better to use nickel strip instead of wire to connect the top and bottom as in the original?
Makes no difference. Some manufacturers use nickel others use wires. Electricity will pass troght both in the same way.
@@torture66666 The strip looked like it could carry quite a bit more current.
Will the chip reprogram itself with multiple charge and discharge cycles after changing the battery cells? In other words is there any way to repair battery without needing specialized equipment to reprogram the chip?
No, you can't. Once the PF (Permanent Failure) flag is set then you need to unseal the chip and clear it. Only specialized tools can do it,
@@nipembedded9976 Thank you.
28:16 You said that it is bigger then the previous one and has 2600ma so why did you put in FCC 5200?
Because it's a 3s 2p configuration. 3 cells in series (3x4.2v=12.6v) total voltage and (2x2600mah =5200mah) total capacity.
hy, i ve replaced my asus a53s battery cells with higher cap ones. but battery life still sucks and each cell wont cahrge more than 4v. i don thave than fancy device, is tehre anything i can do to tell battery taht bigger cells are in?

Good morning my friend you could make a video for this 2F8K3 battery for dell Alienware 17r1 for the battery model if the machine can activate it and pass the driver on the cip I would greatly appreciate it to make a video for that battery and Show us the connection to the terminals thanks very much with appreciation ...!!???
Hi I have problem with NLBA1 I recell the battery as you always start from the positive I did what I said but after recell when I reset the FCC it has been reset but after charging the the FCC dropped again what was before also the chip is supported what could be the problem can you guide me.
Fuse is also good.
Thanks in advance
Please open a topic in the forum and you will receive support there.
What is the advantage of replacing over buying a new battery ,the cells are are around 12£ and anew battery is more less the same price
Most of replacing batteries are bad quality, recycling an original battery with original cells will make the battery working as a brand new original one.
There are many new slim and flat batteries which are locked because the cells are over-discharged (stored a long period without charging), such batteries can be repaired by pre-charging the cells to about 3000mV and resetting the chip.
How can I remove the old program on the chip if it has a defect, knowing that I have a copy of another battery of the same type thanks
Very simple just go to reset tab and load the working eeprom and press write.
@@torture66666 Thank you for your reply
I can't do that. It shows that the file space is large. I want to how to erased the old file
Meaning, I want to get a blank EEPROM so I can program it
@@RMASTOP Please open a topic on the NLBA support forum and also add screenshot with the issue so you can can a more accurate and fast reply. If the size of the eeprom that you want to write is different that means it's from a different battery or different chip and it's not safe to write it.
Can you list us the names of tools that you used here?
We are using NLBA1 device. The tool is created and sold by us: www.laptopu.ro/shop
Καλημέρα φίλε μου θα μπορούσες να κάνεις ένα βίντεο για τη συγκεκριμένη μπαταρία 2F8K3 για Dell Alienware 17R1 για το μοντέλο της μπαταρίας αν το μηχάνημα μπορεί να την ενεργοποιήσει και να περάσει τους driver στο cip θα το εκτιμούσα πολύ να κάνεις ένα βιντεάκι για τη συγκεκριμένη μπαταρία και να μας δείξεις η συνδεσμολογία στους ακροδέκτες ευχαριστώ πολύ με εκτίμηση...!!??

Hi 👋 i want your old battery eeprom i want to study it in hex editor i am positive it's possible to reset cycle of battery charge throw eeprom (bios) can you give me 3/4 old buos download link?
I own one. And want to use this more often. But its subscription based pricing is cost prohibitive. And we need to reset modern chips, with modern technology. Not these 10+ year old laptop batteries in this video. We need to reset DJI battery chips, Ultrabook, Notebook, Tablets, iPads, iPhones... type chips, with flat non 18650 batteries. In short..and modern BMS chip. Make this open source. Remove the subscription model. Make this a killer tool in the right to repair movement!
NLBA1 can reset the most modern and custom chips on the market too like BQ40ZXX, even the most complicated chip to unseal BQ30ZXX with dynamic SHA1 password is also supported, all versions of the custom Apple chip BQ20Z451 and is currently working on adding DJI chips. Yes of course it is subscription based. Do you want it for free? You must be joking right?
We repairing 2019, 2020 year built slim-design batteries with latest crypto-technologies chips using NLBA1 subscription. It Does support these, just check the License description. And its really most cost-effective solution on the market, just compare with similar products with $1000 yearly subscription. WTF they should make it for free???
They invested tons of bucks in developing. Create the same product and sell it for free!))..
I need a DJI drone to have some flights this summer, I have contacted the DJI official store and I was very surprised that they asked me pay for the drone. What is this, why did they ask me to pay for it ? please help me to understand... I am totally confused.
@@nipembedded9976 I paid for the NLBA1 device. I only have issue with the recent software subscription requirement you added (after I purchased the NLBA1). As for DJI analogy. You buy the drone hardware, and the updates are free. I paid for your box. I was just shocked you migrated to a subscription model. I'm not asking to give away the box for free. Just ditch the subscription model.
@@cognetic I don't know what NIB device you bought and you have such ridiculous problems. If you are referring to my NLBA1 Laptop Battery Analyzer then I am really shocked that you still did not understand what you have paid for. You paid for the NLBA1 Laptop Battery Analyzer which is an Analyzer and all Analyzer updates are free. This is clearly presented on the website. In February 2021 we released the Chip Reset and Repair option which had (and has) absolutely nothing to do with the Analyzer, complete different product, clearly presented on the website. If tomorrow I will invest 1 million $ to release a new feature to Repair Makita batteries you will be the first person claiming why it is not free because few years ago you have paid for an analyzer, I am still shocked.
Summer is coming fast, DJI asked me to pay for the drone, I was shocked but I decided to pay for it, it is not normal to pay for a product but I did the effort and I have paid for it. After some time I have seen that DJI released some Guides (dji.com -> Explore menu -> Buying Guides), I have tried to download them but SHOCK they are asking me to pay for this service, what is this ? I paid for the drone, how they can ask me to pay for all their features which will be released in the next 100 years ? Still shocked ...
I really enjoyed the video. Just one question, is that hardware actually worth over 600$? That's a little bit out of my budget.
Thanks for sharing
The analyzer NLBA1 device Lifetime and Unlimited is roughly 300$. You pay once and you have it all the time, free, all updates. If you want to repair batteries you need The Reset license which is 200$ for 1 year. If you repair a few batteries like 30 in the current year then the next year we can give it for free.

How to buy it... Bangladeshi seller available...?
This is a useful tool for those in Africa or Eastern European countries where money is short or Amazon does not deliver......but in first world countries I think people will no doubt prefer to buy a new battery rather than have a diy home made battery made from probably recycled 18650 cells .....Thanks for your upload
I am in Nigeria and how do I get this NLBA1 PRO device because I am in Africa?
Pls reply my message...
Is the software stand alone or do you need to buy reset tokens every year?
👏❤️✌️👍⭐️
Hi, sir, i am from Pakistan. I want to laptop battery repairing shop.. Is it work, i mean it is professional NLBA1??
NLBA1 is the most advanced Laptop Battery Analyzer with Repair option on the market.
@@azzidoqsc sir, is it just analyzer or complete repairing solution??
@@rehansiddiqi1668 NLBA1 device is PRO Analyzer with charging, discharging, calibrating, wake up, testing, measuring internal cells resistance, checking the cells, generating reports LIFETIME, so you pay once and that's it. If you want to Reset battery chips (Repair Laptop Batteries) you can buy 1 Year Chip Reset License = 199$. It supports a lot of chips, including all Apple Macbook batteries, even 2021.
@@azzidoqsc G sir, okay thanks a lot.. ☺️
The cost of getting new cells plus the repair work will be much more expensive than buying a new battery. To be honest, this wont really be feasible to spend money for this equipment just repair batteries. Unless someone is in recycling and refurbishing business.
It is not true. Not all laptop batteries require replacing the cells, there are tons of laptop batteries with good to new cells that are only over-discharged. By precharging them and resetting the chip, the battery will function again. Many of our customers are recovering tons of such batteries.
More, the equipment is by far the most advanced laptop battery analyzer, you pay once and you get unlimited software, all updates included. This is a must-have device in any laptop shop or laptop repair shop. There are tons of testers for LiIon/LiPo cells but for laptop batteries, just one, NLBA1 :)
@@nipembedded9976 Over-discharged or deep-discharged, what is the difference? Recharging/operating a deeply discharged battery is fundamental dangerous (and prohibited)
@@Tualatin007 Battery or cell ?
@@nipembedded9976 In principle/theoretically/fundamental... cells, cells in Li-battery
An over-discharged cell has a voltage below the lowest threshold mentioned in the datasheet. Depending on the voltage level you can pre-charge it safely.
Hi Sir
Please Answer my question
My laptop battery NOM 11.4V 2.1Ah 24Wh
This battery cells dead
it has 3 cells of 2100 mAh
is it OK to replace with 2600mAh Cell
Yes, If you have an NLBA1 device you can get support from the author: www.laptopu.ro/community
this tool is not for home use it's for computer shops you need to pay an extra very expensive fee every year to be able to reset and reprogram the chip i was one of dose fools that purchase this very expensive toy thinking that i was going to save 3 brand new laptop battery's that were in storage for to long and guess what nada this toy is now a door stopper So unless you hone a computer shop don't buy it
Did you buy a PRO equipment to repair 3 batteries only ???

Indian price nlba1 2024
good thing we have some nerds reverse engineering ur device , soon no subscription pay software bs :)
Exactly, you just need to wait !
PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED!! I still have the NLBA1. Its a brick at the moment. I purchased as a chip unlock / reset, as they said chip unlocks were coming. They never said anything about moving to a subscription model, until they announced they did. A subscription model is cost prohibitive for us, as we rarely have battery chip locks.
@@cognetic If you don't afford the price you can check out other softwares (just software) that cost up to 1000$ per year.
For 350USD I could buy 5-7 original brand new battery for my laptop. Useless tool.
While others repair hundreds or thousands in a year, who has more benefit? :)
@@nipembedded9976 Useless tool for ordinary users, not for service centers, but I am curious why to renew old battery which may cost you more than to buy new one.
@@Ravenola 1. The tool is a PRO tool like tons of other PRO tools used in the repairing industry. Your comparison is out of scope.
2. Okay, which is cheaper, repairing 30 x 2022 Apple Macbook battery or buying 30 x New Original Apple Macbook battery ? You can replace 30 with 1000 or 10000, there are no limits in the number of batteries.
I think this is an interesting product! BUT you have to change or add the license model, so that it can attract more customers! There are 3 sorts of potentially customers: 1: Big Laptop Repair Centers (as there cant be many left I guess, the laptop market is decraising). 2:Smaller Computer Repar Shops. 3: DIY enthusiats.
The License model is way to costly for group 2 and 3. (People write $199 but it looks like it now costs $249, so wrong direction). Smaller reair shops dont repair many batteries - the sell new batteries or new computers to the customers, its a better deal for both. End customers dont have knowledge of different quality but are suspect to repaired batterys, also the time of labour is to costly in most Western countries.
So I see group nr 3 (the Enthuiasts) as the biggest possible customer community for the future. They dont make money on their hobby, so its allready a big investment to buy the hardware, just for experimenting och there own pile of laptops an mayby helping som relatives. BUT they should be a welcome addition to the community, because the dont count the time spent and could share the findings so that the Database will increase, to benefit for all!
Of course there should not be free licenses - But an addition of a License for Personal Use is needed. It could be a (much) lower annual fee, or preferably a license where you pay for some amount of uses, lets say 15 or 30. then you have to buy another set. That way I beleive it will benefit both users and also your business!
Alternative is using CP2112...
This is good for customers but not for the business.
You make some good points. The small user license can be good for customers and businesses. As you and others have pointed out, it depends on the target market for this device. It would appear that the business owner is not interested in the occasional hobbyist that would probably choose to use brand batteries ( like Samsung ). The problem is that this device is likely being used by battery refurbishers that flood the market with inferior batteries that last at best a few months and have ridiculously specced capacity ratings. It seems that this business seller is not too worried about that.
@@mikw1809 You are wrong, the NLBA1 device works with genuine chips ONLY, so, only with Genuine Batteries
@@nipembedded9976 My comment was not about the originality of the chipset. I am talking about the use of non-branded cells, not the container battery itself. I hoped that was obvious from my comment. I refer to Samsung batteries, just substitute that for cells, and hopefully it will make sense to you
