Another great video!! I started watching you because you were one of a few that didn’t edit your videos. I always enjoyed your hour long videos. Plus, it seems like I’m getting more usb-c charging ports than ever before. I actually have your videos playing in my shop all day. Keep up the dodginess. You’ve taught me to think outside of the box
i would always buy a motherboard from you coz you are genuine and honest person sorin everytime .....if i had your experience and knowledge i would be buying motherboards from ebay repaired ...
Sei sempre il migliore ,non essendo un riparatore ma un autogas converter ,ma ho sempre amato l'elettronica, e qualche volta anche seguendo i tuoi video ho riparato con molta soddisfazione qualcosa , grazie Sorin
Hi Sorin, i told you not to give so much credit for their technicians, i work in the same field and i can tell you, you have no ideea what kind of technicians are getting hired. Glad the board is working! 3 Technicians can't change a charging port, nice one!
3 "technicians" already have checked the board.. Hah. Anyways, I suggested on the previous video to buy the board, it is worth the value, in the worst case scenario for spare parts... But it comes up that is functional. Good call Sorin ! Keep up the excellent work !
Probably it is just type of techs that just replace motherboard :D. In my young ages i was working in that type of company, now sometimes i replace capacitors :D.
6 months ago I lost my wife, my bride left us. I'm in big depression and your channel help me means a lot to me. I'm a programmer and it tech, but now I've learned a lot from you like never before. And I want to do this job and earn for life. Thank you
Honestly it must be common as I bought 2 MB's from this seller one was only USB C port and 2nd one was working without problems . I got convinced by your video and bingo twice !!!
When I saw all the broken circuit lines (pads) I felt like dying! How is that possible! How does the user manipulate, i.e. insert the connector like that? ...could accept let's say 5 broken lines but ALL of them (omg). On the other hand, excellent work of patience yours teacher Sorin and therefore a happy customer. Thank you very much for sharing because here in North America it will be difficult to see a laptop from that manufacturer. Cell phones YES, they are common (people buy them). All the best.
@@saberben4785 Yeah, you're right. It makes all the sense in the world because I should have assumed the owner would insert the plug carefully. Thank you very much for answering and i mean it with absolute sincerity because that's how we all learn. All the best.
the seller has so many motherboard, and too few time or people to check every single recovered part is working (or not). so is a game of speed, to list enough boards per day. it not worth the time, for them to get bogged down. so instead with ebay condition category sell a parts / not working... this is not unheard of. and if the board costs them $0 originally as an e-waste... then thy made a sure fire 30 bucks. for the work to make the listing in terms of broken charging port / broken tracks then yes, it does not worth their time. and maybe they can guess well for this common damages. anyhow, very interesting to see this example dead boards. a good learning experience to share with us here
Previous video some of the comments mentioned this seller is associated with insurance devices. Others said bought from the same seller generally board works.
That is a way of working. You tell the customer a price if you fix it and tell him other price if you do not, for diagnosis. It is gamble has you said. Here there is a price for diagnosis and the rest is customer decision.
hi sorin, i bought defective laptop from facebook marketplace, i usually buy the totally dead laptop ,they are 95% fixable than those with power but no display... i bought 2 already and i managed to fix them 😁, one i3 6th gen, and one celeron 4c+4t, i bouth them for 35usd including shipping fee...
i also had the same story with my S series Sony vaio (dead MB core i5) then i bought a working MB with a core i7 for just 25 euros and it was working fine.. other sellers from the UK were selling the same board with core i5 for more than 35 euros... so, this is it... you always should go for the best deal even if the seller isn't really trusted one
Dear Sorin, I thought that the problem of this series of laptops of this manufacturer was the failure of the SOC Package . In my opinion, the motherboards of this company are not in a very good condition in terms of quality. I think if you buy a BGA device, your success rate will be higher, there are many cheap options like Seamark ZM Series
As I said, a lot of technician does not know to repair mother boards on a component level, they have a dead mother board for any reason, they do not even try to fix it.
So in this case the seller of the motherboard is selling mostly good motherboards but don't want to bother getting motherboards back, which is a great strategy from my point of view. Given that as soon said, I'd but them all for the repair shop as these laptops are going to be demanding lot of repairs. That's just my guess.
I have the exact same laptop, boots up normally but the keyboars and trackpad dont work. Wireless keyobad and mouse work. It did have a drink spilt on it. So, bought a new keyobard and trackpad for it and it still doesnt work. No evidence of any spillage on the board
Sorin, the 3.3v and 5v always supply is short, I injected volt 5v at 5v pwr supply audio codec ic heated. But on 3.3 line I injected 3.3v board takes 5amp but nothing heats the pch is getting little warm but non component is heating, spend two days. Touched almost every component. What could be the solution.
I have been to a RMA dept factory sale and there was mountains of PC motherboards - bought 5 and 1 worked -. I'm guessing it's from a RMA dept, ie, if they can't get it running in 1hr they just swap it out. So it's either the RMA selling the old stuff, or it's from e-waste recyclers where the RMA stuff is dumped.
Yeah. Completely agree. They call them "flea markets", "garage sales", "auctions" "swap meet", etc., they take a street in a city and set up their sales tables, usually on Saturdays from 8am to 3pm and you can buy from gadgets complete electronics even by separate parts. I also love going to a specialized auto mechanic because they don't get complicated, in the event of an engine or automatic transmission failure, they simply completely remove the old one and install a rebuilt one. I'm talking about the US states of course. A brotherly greeting from Mexico.
I bought a faulty laptop with a shorted PCH on ebay. Easy fix but need a bga rework station. Do i have to clear some of the bios instructions when changing pch?
nice video as always. could you help me i need schematic diagram for Samsung Galaxy A8 2018 (SM-A530F) . cant find anywhere even on discord. thanks for our help
I am curious: the specifications of the new motherboard are the same as the old one? The Bios of the new motherboard says i3 10110u which is entry level CPU, but D15 is also sold with i5 configuration
Yep it could be a downgrade, but still customer have working laptop which is the most important, if it wasn't fixed, it would to ewaste or parts but now it can be used for long time
@@silviuguseila2552Are you serious? I3 10110u has only 2 cores against the 4 cores of the i5 only this mean i5 has double the performance compared to the i3, just see any comparison. No one thinks this is a gaming notebook, but that doesn't mean halving the performance is acceptable.
what?? solder mask?? no! that's wrong. we expect solder mask on the alex channel. here, it must be hot glue! uff. i hate this mixing. what's next? louis using a proper calibrated fuse? weird.
I have repair like this board, the 3.3v and 5V are present but it doesnt turning on and not charging.. Can someone help me to what have i need to check?
Heyy please read my comment my pc says no bootable device and on my bios on disk information it says not installed how can i fix it ???? Would connecting a hdd and booting it from it mybe fix it when the pc is booted ??
I am really liking your videos. It's like a good detective story, and good learning tool. But you are way too honest, I'd have put the old board back and explain to the customer the real problem, and then you would tell them you have to source for a new or used CPU for the board... Then you should charge for market value of a comparable desktop CPU at least. You deserve it. Wish I could come to your store, too far from Toronto CA, and have my ASUS laptop fix. Cheers, on to your next video.
10:17 look left on holder of port like someone catted pins with Scalpel knife ? like someone was lazy to test it and it just catted out all pins.... look little more close and you will see it ! so its good to buy used boards here looks like they have lazy workers :D damnnnn now i see when you removed to they destroyed that port :( Good job ! GG
I am saying to my customers that if they like, we can risk. I'll buy a part, and spend time on a repair. If things will go sideways, they pay for the part, or I keep the device. Especially with TVs, laptops, phones and tablets. But with game consoles, I say that I can buy off game console if I can't fix it, I'll use it for spare parts. With dearer items like PS5, when you replace an HDMI port, you can see that an HDMI encoder can get faulty. Not often, but have 1 PS5 here with this issue. And, I've said to the customer that if he wants to proceed, now the repair attempt fee raise up to £50 because the chip itself cost £48 + my HDMI port.
imagine the conversasion between the three techs that checked the board . Its not working yes its not taking any power look the tracks ar broken ok lets put it on ebay
I saying that you can fix a faulty board. There are a few people that are real repair mechanics but mostly the are to fast and when it comes to rebuild a truck or more. or a short the saying faulty and can’t be repaired. Idid it many Times and all reparable. If you watch Sorin videos 😂
SORIN PLEASE at least one time, just one time show that you change the thermal paste, you drive me crazy, you put the heatsink without any thermal paste, just whatever crusted bits was left on it, PLEASE DONT KEEP SHOWING THIS to people, its not ok to do this, always change the thermal paste
Chill m8. Sorin changes the paste if it needs changing, and he doesn't if it doesn't. Think of it like this, If your laptop didn't have any problems it would have the same paste all its life.
i would change the whole charging port with a usual dc jack....19v and ground and change the plug on the charger too!! thats it!! for me, i dont care about usb c!

Fortune favors the bold :) I am really glad it went Ok and it is a fix.
i get these a lot, you make sure you jumper 6th and 7th pin (charger detection pins) which is most important after 2 ground and 2 plus.
Thanks to sharing this repair !!!!!!!!
Good job mate 👍
can you do a video on the resistance measurements and voltage measurements on the coil inductors
