The most important "tool" is always the one between the chair and the table! Great Job Mr. Sorin! Congrats

The Weller iron station behind has a jack to ground it , take a look.

sorin you forgot to talk about from where you get the usb c power to power laptops and thank you for giving us your time

Thank You for your time...that u show us this all......!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

Perfect video Sorin, thank you:

Sorin... You forgot to introduce THE most important smoky thingy....😂

"And this is my special calibrated wire "😁

You forgot about most important tool. YOUR LITTLE FRIEND! :D

Hi Sorin, I watch your videos regularly. Thanks for sharing all those informative videos with your good work. 👍

A mouth-watering array of priceless and powerful tools! Loved your workbench too! A thing of beauty is a joy forever!

That set up is wonderful, thanks Sorin

If you don't have a hammer, you're not a craftsman, greetings from Serbia !

Thanks for the tour! Times are changing, I do miss that lighter fluid though, but I'm sure you don't miss the burning fingers 🥲

All tools are good because you know exactly how to use them Thank you Sorin You are very generous man lot of us learned from you a lot of useful things Thank you Sorin

So glad you did this video Sorin. I was going to ask you several times to show the equipment you use, but figured you had a video already that I had to find. Thank you!

Thank you for your time, the best is the quality of work, with the right tools .

Thanks Sorin for sharing.

infiRay P2 Pro Thermal Camera, less than 300€ and it's fantastic

Simply setup but the best 🥰 thanks for sharing this 🙏

Thanks for sharing!!!

Use a toroidal isolation transformer for the soldering station and possibly the multimeter/oscilloscope. If you would want the hot-air station behind the isolation transformer you would have to buy a pretty big (about)1.5-2kW transformer.

Nice setup, you are doing amazing work

To answer the diode mode confusion> I believe it may have different voltage settings ? If thats the case, most handheld millimeters use around 2 or 2.2v in diode mode. Some bench millimeters use higher or lower voltage. That may explain weird voltage drop readings you get. So if you are able to change it, its a good thing.

Thanks for sharing. I believe in getting quality tools and as you said, they will pay for them self over time. Thank you for all your videos, I think you are an amazing teacher at heart and I love to see the joy on your face when you find the problem. I rarely give up when trouble shooting, So it's so nice to watch you and learn as I go from your channel. Thx, Moe

Proper nice and calibrated setup👏🏻👏🏻

Дякую за відео у вас гарний набір інструментів видно одразу фахівця своєї справи!!!

Nice tool collection, Sorin. You do nice work.👍👍

thank you for your time.

Thank you sorin, really helpful

Few questions : - do you repair GPUs ? - do you have more testing equipment like signal generator or scope for when you do audio or industrial professional board jobs?

Sorin, for your psu USB cable just buy a common and cheap USB-A female breakout board and connect it to the PSU. No more janky wires. Then use any common USB cable you need and simply plug it in.

Great video Sorin. Ty

With the right tools You can fix everything/anything..,.........

Thanks Sorin! I had IT5125VG not programming with svod 4. I spent hours on it and finally it turned out I had to use the debug port instead of kbd port… I agree SVOD 4 not such a great support I had one spi input/output burned hopefully it was a small transistor. Happened 2 weeks after spending 1100$ cad

Nice setup , a power supply with analog ampere meter will give u more information about the behavior of the motherboard.

Any thermal camera con do the job better than touching with hands i'm using a very very old flir one microusb paid 249 euros 7 years go... ( used now at 100 ) ... and I have no plans about changing/upgrading it

Jbc is the best soldering station. It was really a revelation for me to solder with it. I don't have anything else in my house.

Greetings from Romania!..but you forget your little friend..where is the pliers😅??

Does the H8 have some lag or delay, especially LAG in the video. I would appreciate, next time you show thermal imagers to do a pan left and right at various speeds so we can judge the response time and sustained frame rates of the video. Hikvision makes fast thermal imagers. I just bought the Hikvision DS-2TP21B-6AVF/W (-20c - 120c) for $150 shipped, brand new unit. And it is 25fps sustained with very quick response. It is a 160x120 IR sensor but the image it produces on the 640x480 IPS 3.5" screen is comparable to 320x240, it is very clear and sharp. The unit feels well built and professional. The Hikvision thermal units behave and work like their IP cameras. Feed can be RTSP to vlc, their NVR surveillance apps, any IP camera phone viewr app can view video from their units, just like a normal IP camera. Many other parameters can be adjusted from their IVMS software which are not present on the handheld unit itself. Very cool.

Excellent thanks for the video

Nice tools! Can vouch for AMscope! Happy with mine, I wear glasses. I have a nice linear power supply from multicomp and tc500 thermal camera from Topdon. Want to upgrade my hot air and solder iron. Still using budget.

Nice setup. I could buy all that equipment, but I don't have the knowledge.

Thank you for the video! But how did you modified that linear supply so that it can inject voltage? I have almost the same one and it automatically switches off and beeps of short if i try to inject. There is no switch do deactivate over voltage or over current. Thank you🙏

for Thermal Camera Uni T 260b is the best of best.

My battle, there are tweezers and then there are tweezers. Pot scourers to clean soder iron tip. Using copper one atm. Works good.

thank you mr sorin

Think you for all what you do think you very much

One other tool that maybe useful is a copper bristle brush to use to brush across circuitry when you want to check continuity from one point to another and need to search for that point.

I have seen other repair channels use an oscilloscope to make repairs, what is that used for?

It's a shame the Lavolta power supply is no longer available. I keep looking all over for a similar one. There are plenty of 'linear power supplies' on offer but most of them are switching power supplies and the listings are false. Take one look at the unit weight and you know there is no transformer in them.

Thanks Sorin;

Thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you for showing your tools, would it be possible for you to explain how you adjusted the focus range on the thermal camera? I have the same and do have problems focusing.

I bought the battery tool from watching your first video on it and was nice but now the subscription price for a year is just nutz.

great video sorin but i think you leave out one of your important tools of all ...THE ZIPPO FUEL .... i miss you using this tool .....(burn finger end) haha ...in its time your most valuable tool of old times .....

About the multímeter I have seen someones that instead of showing the OL they show a voltage ( 1.7) for example and I also find It complicated. But like others, at the end they show the voltage the diode consumes.

I like your accent sir and the style you work. You reminder me, the old professional people in my young age, somewhere in East Europe. I’m on Milwaukee, WI , and I have my daughter Apple computer and need some fix , where is your shop …? Thx

Ok can you tell us in comparison is that thermal cam any better then Infiray P2 PRO with a macro lens? (It should be better by specs and for this kind of jobs).

Where is your fume extractor?

Nice setup, good stuff. Sorin do you use some type of heat silicone protection for the table? Also before you bought the SIO programer you used to buy chips already programed by a guy, can you share the link were to buy programed chips, I remember you said once but cannot find that video for some reason. Thank you for everything.

thats enought Sorin thank you

Thanks sir

Thanks Sorin

hello can I ask what program you are using for editing yours videos before uploading to KZfaq?

Indeed afordable is tricky word , tbh 600 pond is a big big amount of mony when u ×3 or 4 multiplie it Nice video thx , bye

I´m curious about your dark grey table mat. I understand it´s temperature resistant for what i´ve ben seeing. Can you please tell where you bought it?

Sir what is the matt type that u use

I love this.

Thanks for the vidéo, you forget hot glue, and calibrated fuse ;-)

No oscilloscope!? Interesting Great video BTW

sorin what did tou think from the infiray P2 pro with macrolens.

ah, my dream setup. btw, how we trick power supply to deal with laptop charging port middle id pin? thanks

Sorin, you forgot one of the most important tools: your attitude of “ I can fix this!!”. I have seen other similar channels giving up quite easily and saying it can’t be repair.attitude ( coming from heritage) is separating you from others by far. Fixing a dram module with a “proper calibrated wire” instead of just buy another dram is a perfect example.( or cleaning a micro push button, instead of swapping it).this is what I am learning indirectly from you: never give up.

relly cool , thank you

What sizes of those sop8, dip8, wson8 programming pogopins you need mostly, there are a lot of different ones i see. Suspect you only need a few that are frequently used.

Sorin, what is the brand of this microscope extra lights? Cheers

wOoOoOow very nice tools😍😍😍😍

4:12 is your computer a laptop without ground? Or is the soldering iron not grounded? The issue has to be one of the two, and afaik, weller would ground the tip of the iron. 4:30 Sorin, they use a transformer inside. It's the common mode voltage leaking through the capacity of the transformer windings. But again, if they ground the tip, which even cheap irons do, that shouldn't be an issue. So either your unit is defective (but just measure continuity from tip to Gnd contact of AC plug) or it's your PC/Laptop. Or your entire house doesn't have Gnd (if the building is old).

Can Ugreen usb-c extension cable work with this?

can you try to do a video explaining the different of what can you do using linear power supply That You cant do with a switching power supply?

Nice one

The uni-t thermal camera IS cheaper and does an excellent job, I say more, its the only camera I have seen wich you can put another lens in front wich allows you to exactly pin point the bad component.

hello @Sorin can you please explain or give me a link if you already explained what's the difference between switching power supply and linear power supply, and how can i modify my power supply to remove short detect, thank you very much and keep up the good work

Why is so hard to find linear Power supply? Also where did you buy yours please, I can't find it anywhere, saw your video about the PSU, but can't find it, could you please suggest different linear around the same price range. Thank you

Please give us about how did you become a hardware technician? Experience, skill and knowledge 🎉

Hello Sorin, can you do a video on how to disable short circuit protection in power supply unit or is there a video on that already?

How can I find the levelprog is bios programmer? What is its name exactly? Thank you.

How do you connect a USB-C laptop to your power supply so that you can measure? Or also connect this with the 2 wires to the large power supply as shown in the video. It's not clear to me.

i realy want the deskpad, what model is that?

I hope you update us when something is new

what do you think about someone buying bulk dead laptops or other items and then repairing them for sale? do you think this is profitable or is it too hard to sell them after the repair? Some very large businesses or colleges may have a dozen for sale as bulk dead laptops.

I don’t find that power supply to buy it…😢 any other good options? Thanks a lot

Sorin you didn't mention the tweezers and grinding machine

Hello🤝nice stuff 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋👋

thinks for all

Good morning ,what you think about RF4¿

Very nice

I use the cable off dead Dell chargers with my Bench PSU and don't get the warning message.

Sorin, where to find these pogo pins? I find your video on them. I searched aliexpress, and to no awail. Maybe you could provide item number?
