Big boss looks badass with the leather jacket. I'll freak out if he says "I'll be back or ill reassemble it". Plus his thumbs up at the end was almost like at the end of terminator 2.

Special thanks to ASUS. We wouldn't be able to watch these videos if they didn't make such "quality" devices. Keep it up ASUS..

If you made a Northbridge Fix shirt that said "What the Flux?" I would buy it.

WTFLUX has to go on a t-shirt 😂👍

As usual the best guy in the world who's showing the electronics maintenance creativity 👌🏻

Hello. I just wanted to say your component level repair is awesome, your understanding of this as well, I wish every repair shop was like this! Keep up!

I had an Asus ROG laptop preordered since Feb. Seeing you work on all those similar models I decided to go with a different brand. Thanks for always being an educator and inspiring others! May good fortune always find you because of your sincere and abundant generosity.

I watch every single video from your Channel..makes me sad that i had to leave my school just becouse i couldnt make advanced math and phisics, i was studing electronics, but on the other matters i was a 18/20 student, study how every single of those component work, and what they do.. noone here in Portugal does a job likes yours, congratulations, youre a master! Wonder how much a repair like this costs?

That "what the flux" made me LOLing thank you and Ramadan Mubarak ❤❤

You have a very professional and well run business, thank you for the upload! Wish you all the best!

Great watching you jump in and fix this board, explaining as you go..a real pro...thanks! John

Watching your brilliant board/trace repairs, i successfully repaired a PS4 Pro "lifted" power cable socket back onto the mainboard. My soldering skills i would class are spot on, so i wasn't put off by putting the lifted socket back in place. The power supplies cable socket on the mainboard came clean off including ALL the solder pads whilst i was giving the console a much needed deep clean out (without even much effort trying to ease the cable free). I scratched off the masking close to where the "GND" pads had lifted, then soldered in place and i ran 4x tiny lengths of 28 AWG gauge Kaynar wire from the boards trace lines. The 2x "GND" points made the socket nice and firm and didn't budge an inch whilst soldering the 4x socket pins to their trace line repair points. Alex, your videos are really educational and i for one have benefitted from following your uploads. People like yourself really do help others out who maybe fresh out of ideas. Thank you my friend and i so look forward to more of your uploads. :) :) :)

I confirm that ASUS laptops break very easily. Years ago I had one which featured a known bugged sound card. Just by plugging headphones into it would cause the plug sensor to fail leaving the laptop in ‘headphone plugged in’ mode or ‘headphone unplugged’ mode, all the time. I had the interface swapped three times. Then I realised it was a known issue. I spoke with ASUs and told them I was not willing to pay for shipping insurance (the shipping under warranty was not insured so it was at my risk…) and that I wanted a permanent fix. ‘All we can do is to replace it again’. That was my last Asus item I purchased.

your setup is sick. Your work speaks for itself.

Thanks for the steady stream of cool videos. These always help me decompress after a long day at work.

You checked ☑️ all the boxes of professionalism 👍🏽

Pleasure to watch !! I have connection to this trade line but such a smart people you are. Hats off

The work you do is high quality! It's fun to watch. Thanks for the frequent posts 🙂

I wonder.... always when an mlcc cap is shorted the pcb location reveals room for another mlcc cap. From theory two caps parallel devide the inrush current and ripple current this should in theory extend the lifetime of the cap. So I wonder if the laptop manufacturers cut down cost by eliminating one of the two caps. It could also be that for instance they designed two 4.7uF caps and replaced it by one 10uF. Still laptops should last five years 24/7. Great job again Alex, good for the environment repairing instead of replacing.

Holly heck my OCD was going crazy when the cap was put on crooked. Thank you for fixing it. Love your videos North Ridge Fix.

Is “Big Boss” Mr. Burns? That is the question… Lol 😂 Alex, you’re amazing, and Big boss too. Always nice to watch you guys, even though I’m not in your field of work and I don’t understand anything about hardware stuff. It’s mesmerizing to watch you guys.

I don`t get tire of watching this videos man....Big boss is the men!!

i’ve noticed there is usually a provision for another Cap close to the cap that gets shorted and i’m thinking adding another Cap close to the damaged one after replacement will ease the burden on the single cap saving it for shorting in the future

I fix boilers for a living so I totally get it when you say you know from experience. When you've done something for so long, often you just know what to look for and what to expect. 👍

FROM country NEPAL .thanks a lot for making my technician carrier more easy and comfortable

great fluxing job alex a pleasure to watch ..great to see big boss awesome my friend..

Excellent video Alex. Looking forward to the next one....cheers

my man you are SO GOOD at your craft and fixing ASUS ROG's. ASUS should get in contact with you and make you an authorized repairer and make all parts available to you with schematics and wiring diagrams.

You guys are pro the way you explain step by step is awesome .

you are awesome buying all my first equipment i did my research and im looking forward to working on microsoldering hope your having a good day

Dang! That was a great rescue for this laptop! The owner will be happy :)

Best quick repair in youtube

You're one of the electronic Gods in my universe. Thank you so much for all the knowledge. What the flux.......... LOL!

Nice work on the destruction you had to work on.

Your hand is just smooth like BUTTER! 🔥

Hey, so i found your channel while looking for a way to repair my asus GL551JM, one day it simply I turned off and it wouldn't power on in any circunstance, so after a few hours it would be back ON, until one day it never got on again, and since then i try to repair by myself, I've learn alot with your videos and hopefully I will be able to fix it this year

Nice work, great. Also a good work. Disassembling is a hard work too, sometimes..great work bigboss. thank you for the video. Greets

You and Big Boss are The Best. Thanks.

I am from pakistan and i see your work for learning you do a great job and there is a lot to learn on your channel thank you very much for that

What The Flux needs to be on a T Shirt, I will buy one.

lovely bit of work,thanks

Everyone needs BIG BOSS behind the scenes 👍. The pros PRO.

جزاك الله خيرا ونفع بكم وبارك فيكم

A maestro at work wow

Amazing job!

Awesome as always :)

I am sitting tight, just bought one of those ASUS...😒😒😒 Nice video indeed!

I say it might be a mess but with your skill "It's Clean and Neat"

Very nice video one's again I wish one day I be able to do what u do

Excelente trabalho 👍

Nice Sunday Special Repair

My old ROG from 2010 never failed but it would overheat all the time. I'm pretty sure the overheating and subsequent throttling all the time put a lot of stress on the components. I took the bottem shield off, elevated it, put a laptop cooler under it. It works OK to this day. It currently sits on a shelf with other old laptops. I hope to resurrect it some day as some kind of frankenstein monster briefcase build tho.

Nice video, I liked how you connected all three ground pins for the battery. Easy shorted capacitor. But since I am a computer scientist/engineer, I wonder if some of your words were meant as an insult.

happy Ramadan to you and your family :D

8 Days no Video. Where you at Alex! I need my Fix fix.

Awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍

I see one of ur multimeater probe tips crooked, what the amtech fux , ha ha ha ha. Alex u r not better, u r the BEST

WTF (WHAT THE FLUX) 😅😅 very very sincere reaction 😂

good job mate.

You are the best

Hahahahahaha. That’s a new “t” slogan for your merch Alex. What the amtech flux lmfao. That dude deserves a bonus lol.

Great repairs, and a sense of humor. "crooked scientists" :) :).

That's make me happy 👍🏾

Nice Jacket Mr. Big Boss 😎

Really nice work

como se llama esa herramienta que usas para desoldar los capacitores?... gracias por el contenido soy un gran seguidor tuyo saludos desde argentina

Thank gawd I didn't choose an Asus when shopping for a high-end laptop. I needed something powerful for graphics while uninterested in gaming. I'm pleased with my loaded Dell XPS 9710 so far. And no, I'm not happy with the price I paid for it.

Man, I wish I lived where you are so I could get my laptop fixed, all my school stuffs on it and I don't trust anyone locally really to fix it. :( Cool videos tho, think I'll stick around and watch.

Epic repair ;)

My having a asus laptop a 2 years 1:38 minute in the video now im getting super anxious

Is there anything this guy can't fix? Watching him makes me want to either continue to learn from him or throw all my equipment away! Especially my soldering iron.

Alex i hope everything is ok, has 7 day with no new videos, hope everything is fine by there, we miss you

this guy rocks .... :)

Hello sir thank you for amazing videos , I just wanted to know how did you know where the data and other pin would be connected when you added jumper pad on those two pins, I know you have immense experience but for knowledge purposes if you could explain it thank you so much again !!!

where youve been sir..its been 8 days from your last posted video

What the Flux,, good job 🤪

Nice job.

That connector is no joke! They're soo easy to break away from the board!

Great video as usual ! , but how can you know the value of that capasitor to replace it ?

Nice job

Good Job

Hahahah I say what the flux too when I see WTF! Good job mate, keep up the great work!

Watching this video on a laptop that looks a lot like this one, kinda makes me nervous. At least I know what to be careful for when I inevitably have to replace the battery after it's spent the last 2 yeas suffering from being plugged in all of the time.

Hi Alex. Great work, as always. Just wondering, you are selling red solder mask in your shop. Why not use red solder mask here instead of green? Keep the world from complains, haha...

From my experience asus makes the best boards out there when it comes to ROG series! The problem is that lots of time the owners do not clean them regularly and they rail them until they over heat them. This is the main problem. And yes there are a lot because they are buyed a lot.

Hi Ramadan Karim w b yn3ad 3likom

i will use What The AM tech Flux from now on.

got an asus rog 512du that wont power on or charge, took it apart and with testing found a shorted mosfet, so might order some parts off you soon, pretty sure its a cap or a few, got q few zones that short, but i do not have a thermal imager, figured might try the aerosol can upside down lol

Success "snatched" from the jaws of "defeat". Good job - 375 points awarded. p.s. Love the "roving cam"... It adds a whole new dimension. Please buy a Coke for Big Boss. He deserves it.

Inspiring Innovation • Persistent Perfection - They have perfected making their machines fail just out of warranty.

Good job and ramadan karim

Failed ASUS gaming laptop again? Well it's time to consider ASUS brand as premium line. MOSFETs failed, SMD caps failed every time. They have issue of designing MOSFETs power rails or just using cheap MOSFETs? Something is seriously happening with ASUS premium laptops. Why don't people just move to MSI for same price? MSI offers better build quality and component design. I have been using MSI for over 5 years and it's still running like new. I only need to replace thermal paste every year. I have used ASUS gaming laptops too. But they don't last like MSI. Failed a lot and now I abandoned ASUS brand. I wish people make right brand choice!

What the ... Flux should be on a T-shirt.

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Люблю тебя мужик

Diode mode is very useful

Thx bro

Lol. I usually say , 'what the frack.' A BattleStar Galactica fowl talk. But I really like, what the flux!

My 7 year Asus ROG is still kicking, just hoping it doesn't give out the pooch.

nice Vedio ☮️👍
