Sorin, I have been watching your videos for over a year now, and I must admit that you are the BEST repair technician on RUclips!! You make it look so easy, I wish I could have been your apprentice in this lifetime!
Hi Sorin, I'm already convinced about the effectiveness of hot glue hinge repairs after you showed how to undo the glue in case of second repair attempt. I know a lotta people think that the main disadvantage of using hot glue on hinges is that it might make further repair on the device impossible. But you,ve clearly proven otherwise. I hope people will stop doubting you and start believing you for good. Thanks!
Hello from România Sibiu! I watched almost all your videos and learned alot from you, I'm about to open my own repair shop, thank you Sorin for sharing your knowledge.
You are awesome!! Thank you for helping me confirm what I needed to do to fix my laptop that is the exact same as this one but a different issue. Just amazing! You made my day!😀
Sorin you have convinced me about using glue a long time ago. Your coolness is amazing and the appreciation of sipping that coffee made me feel happy. The repair was superb as usual. You are a master class. I am still watching your mining channel although I do not have any interest in it. That's sick!
Hi, Sorin (from Australia). They make it difficult on purpose - to discourage people from repairing it. As you very well know, this is the trend nowadays.
You really should limit it to 0.9v (0.8v to be safe) so if there is any kind of short directly to CPU, PCH, SIO or GPU then it is only receiving the normal operating voltage or less. But since we know on a desktop the CPU and GPU can usually tolerate mild overclocking and mild over-volting 0.9v and 1.0v are probably fine in 99% of cases, even on a laptop.
Hope Sorin is ok, since mining his appearances seem to have slowed down a lot and i personally have gone through all his videos some many times. I'm no electronics wannabe but just totally interested watching the work he does...... fascinating.
For those small ceramic capacitors those definitely have lots of redundancies and missing one is definitely not a big deal. However, if you are talking about the big black polarised capacitors (usually for VCore), those might have very little reduncies and I've had plenty of cases where one of them losing its capacitance (NOT short) renders the entire motherboard inoperative, and just taking it out won't change the problem.
Mr skin thanks for helping us the poor people from many African countries to learn properly how to understand electronics and actually fix and not easy time on the things. Thank you form my heart and may Jehovah the true God bless you and your family thanks very much for all you have done for this channel thanks again soon much.
before i repair hinch with glue but not like you, i take the technique from you and know i have like you, laptop come back for other probleme and the hinge is perfect even after 2 year xD special thx for you (sandwich with hot glue hihi)
Someone gave me a 14 inch variant of this laptop to fix and it had a catastrophic fault... The ram powerrail mosfet was litterally burned to crumbs, damaging the bottom layers, making it unrepairable ... One good thing is that the laptop litterally told me that there is a ram fault with the LEDs when trying to turning on ...
Hi Sorin I have seen quite a lot of your videos, and you have given me quite a few tricks 🙂thanks. I am working on a DELL E7440, and I hope you can give a hint for that. it is shutting off intermittent if i twist or tap it hard, sometimes by it self. but it mostly run fine in bios or ePSA diagnostic and IF i fails, the only log i get is ASF2, that means it shut down unexpectedly. I cant see any fault visually on the board by microscope. 3V_ALW and 5V_ALW are always on, and I have measured and 3.3V_RUN - 5V_RUN - 1.35V mem - 1.7V VCC_CORE - 0.675V_DDR_VTT - 3.3V_ALW_PCH with an Arduino every 50mS, and they all die at the same time Only FAN, one RAM, and ext. screen are attached,

Hi Sorin, I have problem with my dell laptop when I open my laptop the starting logo is look fine but after displaying the windows there is color flickering, I thought it was a screen problem and when I connect HDMI to another monitor it look the same. Is it probably the Graphic chip? or what?
Most likely a GPU problem, could be the graphics core chip or video RAM issue. You neglected to mention your model number so we don’t know how old it is and what GPU it is likely to have
