I was utterly amazed by thinking how much dexterity and ingenuity were needed to complete this job. I actually couldn't help but hold my breath while Sorin was grinding thin FPC cable with a growling dremel. Your mottainai spirit made another customer happy. Salute from Japan.
That was very intense fixing that flex ribbon, and seeing the picture come up immediately after. My family here were wondering why I was cheering and clapping watching a vid. Well done Sorin.
the idea is that the repair needs to be cheaper than the whole device, because it wont make economical sense to do it. the guys that will tell new screen actually arent repairmans but just parts swappers
Mr Sorin, you have mastered the art of applying the proper calibrated wire in the most difficult places. Oh teach us grand wire master🙏 No seriously you make it look so easy, but that must be proper hard to do. You truly are a master at your trade🦾
Sorin, you're a legend! I'm also from a poor country and have the same affliction of being unable to throw away electronics that are fixable, but I'm nowhere near your level with repairs. I've got a no-screen detected laptop, and I know everything but the screen works because this laptop is already on its secon screen and I kept around the previous broken screen that has a bunch of lines through it and black splotches, but there's picture. Now I just need to figure out what's wrong with the other screen that had been working perfectly until a week ago. I kept looking around and couldn't find anyone else trying to repair the screen control board, but then 3 night ago I finally found you. Been catching up on your screen repair videos every night - you continually give me inspiration (and knowledge, and hope). Thank you.
£600 for the screen? Your labour, expertise and materials for you to charge. The thing is only worth £300 2nd hand. Why bother as a customer? Stunning repair Sorin.
More than half the population of European countries coming from poor countries. you have two likes sorin, one for your ability and knowledge and one for your sincerity.
This is what I will call the unthinkable kind of repair one will hesitate to do at first, considering the risk and time and effort to do it. Amazing video repair by the ONE AND ONLY MASTER SORIN.. Two Thumbs up for you Sorin..
wow just wow !!! im from Ethiopian and i have been watching you for the last 2 month i my self is a Technician in Lenovo service provider But you gave me many skills i didn't get for the last 10+ years in this line of duty .... just thank you keep it up pls don't stop spreading your skills and knowledge if i have money i will pay for each videos (God bless you)
my great respect! I´m also from the eastern block, so I agree that everything should be repaired if possible, before an expensive change for new. Keep up with the perfect work! greetings: Benedikt
LOL I can't believe you of all people wanted to buy a replacement tool because it was broken rather than just assuming you can fix it as we all know, Sorin can fix (nearly) everything!! Car Boot Sales are brilliant by the way :)
You sir, are my hero. Back in the '90s I had to quit my EE job because of my declining eyesight. We didn't have microscopes back then, and smt technology was the relatively new form of witchcraft. I wouldn't have touched that job with a ten foot pole, with a rubber glove attached to the end. That was brilliant repair work.
Wanted to say this one impressed me. Most would have abandoned the job when they saw the broken ribbon on the LCD. Good job on your part using that ‘properly calibrated wires’ and certified hot glue for the job.
Sorin: So if you have broken ribbon cables, thats how you fix it. Me: Correct, thats how I fix it...I ship to sorin for repair lol. Great job Sorin. Very impressive!
Bravo Sorin! A spectacular repair and a joy to behold! I salute your tenacity. I salute your ingenuity and I salute you! Thank you for sharing the pain and the pleasure!
It is a jammy customer very guarded about the issues and probably knew a lot about this laptop or just bought it for repair and did not have a clue. Sorin you are amazing.
That was fascinating and scary to watch! Even the grinder didn't want to be involved in Sorin's scary dodgy repair and desoldered itself😁😁. Funny thing is I kept finding myself blowing on the screen to try and remove the ground bits off the repair section like I was the one doing the repair😂😂 force of habit Awesome work Sorin!! 👏👏
Sorin, you are the one and only one. This is a repair who never did. Like a chipseth replacement with a hot air soldering machine. Muster is the word that will explain your work. Keep your way of work. We are here because of your unique working methods. Thanks
Thank you Sorin, I now know how to repair a ribbon cable. I have one to fix on Jaguar CD Changer to do. I've been thinking about how I was going to do this for the past few months. I've only just started to watch you in the last six months and have learned so much more, to the point that I want to go back to repair computers again after a break of 10 years...
I thoroughly enjoy watching your vids Sorin. I love fixing electronics as a hobby and came across your channel and I enjoy your repairs. My favorite is hearing, and we have picture!! Or Thass sick! 😁 Keep up the great content Sorin.

15:15) Hello. For this type of work, I cut the plastic diffusers used in LED televisions that are placed between the backlight and the panel to credit card size. They are barely 1mm thick. They are quite resistant and in this way when inserting them to remove the screen to be replaced, we avoid pinching said screen with the possibility of breaking it. That tool I see is fine, for removing stuck batteries, but on a screen, such as this one that offers resistance (since it is still very stuck), the possibility of you prying with the tool and breaking the screen is very high. I knew you would use a dremmel, that's what I would do. No risk, no glory. Who said fear!! 🤪 (28:15) mini drill taking a forceful beating off camera The knocks only work on televisions when the analog antenna signal was bad and cannot be extrapolated to other devices 🤣🤣🤣
While thinking, it is difficult to do, at the same time as wanting to do it. And then everything goes well. I felt this pleasure while watching. Another great job Master!
Simply amazing! Nobody in their right mind would think to do what you just did. You sir are an adventurer and an inventive genius... Thank you so much for sharing.
Your dilemma regarding the screen being faulty - I would say the screen assembly is faulty. So that doesn't necessarily mean the screen is faulty, just some component within the screen assembly. As the risk is the same (that is the screen could be damaged during the repair attempt) you have covered all angles.
Wow! Just wow! I think you just won the triple gold star award for going way above and beyond on this one. I'm constantly amazed at some of the things you persevere with and fix where others would just give up. Brilliant work. That laptop owner should be super grateful.
22:20 you can remove this shields with tin the sides and then moving soldering iron with big tip from top of the shield. Also you can use 58°C or 80°C low-melt solder sticks and flux on the sides of the shield❤
This was an awesome repair! Very satisfying to watch, I know the happiness when you saw it working made up for the time it took to fix, also it was a challenge. Good motivators to like this line of work ;)
Can't deny, that was a proper solid money saving wholesome repair.
The legend himself.

Well done Sorin.
Oh yeah same with me here 😅
And I thought action movies could get tense... Im on your side there.
This guy is insane..... the balls it takes to do a repair like this... i salute you
LOL grinding through the tin plate.. that's hard core man! Well done.
I thought for sure that the screen was dead. Thats an incredible fix
Sorin , most repairers would not have bothered and tell customer new screen. needed.Well done so talented
the idea is that the repair needs to be cheaper than the whole device, because it wont make economical sense to do it. the guys that will tell new screen actually arent repairmans but just parts swappers
Absolutely brilliant
Proper man has fixed it with proper calibrated wire.
Who`s the number one master? I cant hear........
I think this is the best repair of the month.
Well done boss Sorin !
It's a long video but worth every second of it

I didn't think the screen ribbon could be repaired, but with the right tools, miracles can happen, well done.
Or you can be dodgy and route a wire directly from connector instead of ribbon L part. Or even to a point in a screen where the ribbon leads to

I can't believe it - you brought it back from the dead. Your customers should appreciate the level of genius brought to bear on their behalf!
Sorin, you had to fix the dremel in order to fix expensive touchscreen. You are unstoppable!🚀
You sir, are my hero. Back in the '90s I had to quit my EE job because of my declining eyesight. We didn't have microscopes back then, and smt technology was the relatively new form of witchcraft.

That´s a proper surgeon job... Amazing...
Amazing repair, say what you like about Sorin, but, that was a Jedi master repair….10 out of 10! You are the man!

Keep up the great content Sorin.
I have been watching this Channel since 2019 and Sir, you still never cease to amaze me. Awesome stuff right there.
This isn't a repair job.
This is art!

Good idea
Sorine: no, what's that?
Me: There's no way he can fix this thing
As I watch, I hope he fixes it
When he fixes it, what a hero you are
Thank you
That was a proper calibrated SORIN ONLY job.
Hats off to the Κing of dodgy.
Hello. I saw your video. This is not called a repair but a miracle!!! Congratulations.
I swear , when you were drilling the back of the 600$ screen , i was with my hands on my head and holding my breath..... You are the master of repairs
This repair took a lot of risk and perseverance. Hat down ! No risk no gain 🤘
This was no doggy job but a real special one....done by the master himself! Nice Sorin!
Holy shittt 😳. Only Sorin could pull this off.
with 100% certainty, at least 97% of repair shops would've given up on trying to repair the cable and just buy another screen
Proper nice repair
Well done, hope the customer appreciates it. Fantastic repair.
You are absolutely right when you say how painful it is to see especially when from a poor country, you know the score
When your Battery is Bigger than Whole Motherboard..This a MasterClass...Video
When İ saw the problem, İ said this time Sorin couldn''t fix it. After that, Sorin''s fix was truly magic.
I would do the same, but I would definitely break the screen. Well done Sorin!
that is a insane repair
I had the same issue with the same model today and just followed your steps, and it was fixed.
Thanks very much ❤
Your fine motor skills are proper amazing. This thingy had 8 wires on area smaller than your index finger. Proper amazing job!
We have p... backlight!!! Awesome repair. This scenario most of techninican would given up. Perfect example of thinking outside of the box
Jaw dropping work sorin, i think you are doing extremely difficult jobs easily because you are very calm always.
You are not Sorin anymore. From now on - you are Merlin, the Warlock of Electronics!
Dang I love this channel!!!!!
While thinking, it is difficult to do, at the same time as wanting to do it. And then everything goes well. I felt this pleasure while watching. Another great job Master!
Top man Sorin. There are very few repairers with the skill and patience needed for a job like this.
Wow, that was proper nice repair! Perfect job!
Bold, wise, perseverant, best master. Most of us would not tried that. 🎉
Simply amazing! Nobody in their right mind would think to do what you just did. You sir are an adventurer and an inventive genius... Thank you so much for sharing.
Sorin All I can say my friend is. Dam those are some skills right there ..! A true grand master of electronics repair 🤔
This video deserves 10 thumbs up!
btw you can buy rubbery dremel bits. Much better instead of the rigid ones.
I was there every second living it. Nice. Bravo Sorin!
I'm taking my hat off. Well done, Sorin! 😊
WOW!!! You made a customer very happy......
Great to see a master at work.

It was a God level repair, with a proper calibrated flat cable :).
Nice job!
Than you for being so good to your customers.
That's a Crazy Repair. Amazing job Sorin.
Sorine, esti de toata groaza!
That's those kind of repairs i'd like to watch , proper calibrated repair , thanks for the repair video 🎉 🍕🍕🍕👍
It's never to long watching you work your magic.
I am watching you removing the screen and I said, "Oh, he cracked it". Then I realized it was an old scratch on this cheap monitor. Well done.
22:20 you can remove this shields with tin the sides and then moving soldering iron with big tip from top of the shield.
Also you can use 58°C or 80°C low-melt solder sticks and flux on the sides of the shield❤
You are a proper calibrated man
Sorin you are insane for opening that screen lol Your videos are full of suspense also :)
Two repairs for the price of one! Incredible repair Sorin. You truly are the master.
Sorin, as repair man you know your dremel cannot be fixed banging it over the table 🤣. Great job as always
You're a master. I have a question. Why you did not use that UV glue or how to call that stuff. I'm pretty sure that you know, what I mean. :D
No word to says just amazing how Sorin handle this broken cable very well
Masterpiece repair. This goes in the best 10.
hands up for this man... i would call this an impossible job... AMAZING..
33:36 it is not a Dremel. The proper calibrated name is "a rotary tool" or "straight grinder".
Incredibly skillful job Sorin. Top class.
Sorin you are a doctor surgeon 😊
Bravo Sorin, simteam durerea cand lipeai cablul flex !
Unbelievable, Sorin you are an artist!
You taught me how to fix a broken flat cable!
Thank you very much!
What an insane repair................
This was an awesome repair! Very satisfying to watch, I know the happiness when you saw it working made up for the time it took to fix, also it was a challenge. Good motivators to like this line of work ;)
Wow... just wow.. Well done Sorin.
Your thought process is really valuable. Thanks
