I spent two years of my life servicing televisions back in the early 80s. It was NOTHING like it is today: swapping out defective modules, defective vacuum tubes, broken potentiometers, etc.
Today it's tiny, surface-mount components; working under a microscope; using a thermal camera as a diagnostic tool.
I'm not lamenting that I missed out on today's technology. I worked in a factory and made a living to support my family, which I could never do servicing TVs. It was interesting, but not so lucrative.
Now I find my enjoyment watching today's experts do it.
Thanks for sharing here.
9:30 "Just a little bit of flux. You don't need more." I originally learned from watching Rossmann and I learned that a job like this needs an entire syringe full of flux 😂
Thank you for showing us a method to diagnose properly.
Love the new editing and a lot more informative videos.
Thank you very much, I'm leaning so much.
Nice tutorial Sorin. I also really liked the video editing !
Thanks for verbalizing what you thought in each step of repairs. Sometimes I can't follow why Dr.Sorin is do so or what he is thinking about. Such repairs seem amazing and pure magic to me. But unfortunately I can't learn from them. By the way, I like your dodgy solutions since they are quick & economical. Thus good for both costomers and repairers!
This was a easy one, thank you Sorin. Have a nice weekend :)
You had me worried in the end for a moment! Nice repair job Sorin.
great info re: soldering/temperatures etc thx
Good job mate 👍
excelente trabajo cambio puerto de carga

Good jobs :) Have nice day :)
Sir Sorin,,what is the mat you used?, why this is burnt during using hot air😃
6:50 if you have melted charging port, the customer told you about sparks and gave you his original charger, then you have to CHECK that charger plug - to see if the hole in that plug is not melted (expanded) as well.
Sorin, If you teach people proper electronics - then you should say that kind of advice, because if the plug hole is expanded or melted then the port can be damaged again later.
Actually its quite interesting...I'm doing repairing jobs on and off most hap hazordly in past... Master Sorin taught some clear approach for the diagnostics systimatically.
That is genius
I do this with the help of low melt solder.
And you don't need a hot-air station to do that. The less heat you have to put the board under, the better. Heat == stress
You are incredible in diagnostics, but as our diagnostics technician you need someone to solder it for you :) no offense.
There are tree ways how to to this properly :
1. Get the connector out by air, remove all old tin, fit there new one , and solder it from other side of board using lead solder (lower melting temp, higher quality of joints)
2. Almost same you did it, we just preheat the board to melt tin, little bit over and fir the connector, then add more tin as you did
3. And the best option for soldering plastic connectors , as keyboard con, 4pin audio con etc.
- use IR machine with bottom pre-heating, IR heating is mostly targeting metal parts , so it´s like from manufacturer, but it takes some time, all plastics remain in same condition as it was and joints are perfect :)
Thank you for your vids, it´s good to see someone working the right way not only replacing entire components :)
How do you learn all of this without a electronics background ? Any courses or books? Or do I need to do a degree in electronic engineering ?
Rossmann keeps saying that the best way to learn is to just start *doing* it. I've watched most of Rossmann's video, this one too of course by Sorin, but indeed there's no replacement for just hands on trying it out; the more you do, the more you'll learn. There's only so much one can glean from watching others or reading books; hands-on experience is just as important, to get a feel for the tools, etc. No need to buy the expensive kit upfront of course.
Also no need for a degree, though one could argue the extra theoretical background might help (I don't know, my degree was comp sci instead), but one option (in addition to just fixing stuff) is to buy electronics kits and build them, a good way to gain soldering experience. There are numerous books by Bibani on this (I used to make guitar effects units long ago using such books) or one can buy simple kits off ebay or Amazon, things like a mini oscilloscope or signal generator, eg. look up the XR2206 on Amazon, or search for 2.4" digital oscilloscope kit, that sort of thing. Hobby stores likely sell similar things. Doesn't much matter whether the kits are actually good products (though perhaps handy if so, ie. combine the experience building them with choosing kits which could be useful later), it's more just the practice that matters.
Likewise, being able to fix things for neighbours, friends, etc. I found this video because I wanted to repair a neighbour's laptop, swapping out the charging socket, almost the same model of Acer. I found the experience of using the hot air station to remove the old socket was similar to what Sorin shows here, but I only needed a normal basic soldering iron to attach the replacement, and now the laptop no longer suffers from a wobbly-cable-causes-sudden-shutoff issue. A year ago I repaired a neighbour's PS4 which had a bad HDMI port, that sort of thing. I'm still at the beginning of learning though for sure.
Also trawl 2nd hand shops, thrift stores like Goodwill, look for items which are not fully functional and try to fix them. Old radios, tape units, etc., though such items might veer into the more mechanical side of repair aswell, while beyond a certain timeframe a lot of consumer kit tends to be mostly single-chip with not much opportunity for DIY repair (tech from the 1980s through to the early 2000s is probably optimal). Or look for faulty PC mbds and GPUs on ebay, stuff that's really cheap, though not items that are obviously beyond repair (eg. ignore mbds with wrecked socket pins); I have a couple of mbds with bad traces I intend to repair. Vintage 1980s micros are another good practice option, repairing C64s and suchlike (Commodore, Atari, Acorn, Sinclair, Amstrad, Oric and so on), especially wrt learning how to diagnose faults. Channels like Adrian's Digital Basement and others have numerous repair videos for this sort of thing.
At the upper end of things, apart from Louis Rossmann, there's also iPahd Rehab and Paul Daniels, but many others too.
This looks just like the tv with a cockroach in the electrical socket.👍
cmon customers send some crazy hard job to Sorin to we see some interesting and crazy skill repairs! this one is cool but motherboard jobs started to be rare :(
nice
❤
Please please upload desktop motherboard repair video
I was waiting for the "It's Friday!" but sadly no 😪 Good fix though. Have a good weekend 🙂
Sorin mentioned that he will work in the shop only on "hard" stuff and that the shop got "new blood" (young employees).
low melt solder
👍👍👌👌
Iink to buy one?
Don't mind a good port with some cheese.
there is a moment i suspect there is another carbonized cockroach in charging port 😂😆
