The Alcohol trick is awesome !! Thanks to one of your previous video I managed to fix 2 HP Laptop for my children! Thank you and Have a great weekend !!

Ok, I need a t-shirt with Sorin holding soldering iron and big "Nice friday fault"

"No petrol left." "OK, let's use some alcohol then... Petrol run out." "OK, no alcohol left." 😂😂😂 Awesome video like usual, thank you!

What i love with him is not only a great electronics teacher, also great ethics; " make a good diagnise, make a fair price" . I also disagree with comments like "dodgy" :), i rather call it pragmatical, cost effficient, and solution oriented. Keep the great job up.

Always top quality, educational videos. Thank you from Portugal

The best electronic teacher Because of him am now a laptop & phone tech Nairobi

Hi Sorin. I don't know why yt was not showing me your videos on my feed. I'm subscribed and I was thinking you were not publishing videos anymore. With this video you came back to my feed suddenly after nearly two months not showing your content. I'm glad you are still doing this great didactive content.

Nice tip about the flashing light in the power supply!

my sister gave me a laptop same with the one you repaired and with similar issue ..I followed your step by step diagnosis and repair and amazingly it also had same shorted capacitor..you saved me a lot of hours and probably patience just to repair my sisters laptop..thank you!!!!

i have learnt so much from this man he is the best teacher ever i have fixed many laptops thanks to watching his videos

Have a nice Friday...I love your technical skills...may Allah blessed you and your family...you are very very good man .thank you for your teaching us.👍👍👍

I'm a beginner and I finally found a good professional. Thank you very much for the content 🔥 I also btw have a blue Lenovo which is dead lol.

Love your faultfinding methodology, 10/10 would buy a pint

your a good teacher sir.

I very much appreciate your videos. Being confined on a small island in the southern Philippines, all dead and lame laptops land on my desk. Currently I am overhauling or repairing 3 laptops in Japanese language. Your hints and ideas almost always help me to find the origin of the problem. The alcohol trick is one of the best. I use local rum. Cheers and thanks.

"Just a nice Friday fault." 😁👍 Have a nice weekend, Sorin. 🍻

Have a nice weekend Sorin

sir you are teaching in just simple way.... love from INDIA....

Brilliant video, mine has the same problem but it was the other cap that had shorted! Thank you

Happy weekend Sorin.

Very good repair, teacher, we miss you with your videos, thanks for the tips, greetings from South America

Your just so good at this stuff. i don't know how you do it so quick.

Simple and logical is Sorin’s magic.

No proper calibrated fuse this time ....lol....thanks for all your videos Sorin

sorin glad to see you again :)

Hi. Thanks 4 all the cool Videos! Have a nice Weekend! Greetz from Germany 😉

thanks Sorin for the enlightenment

Hello Mr Sorin, I hope you can do more videos of small board repair ( different electronic gadget board like ). small board are easy to understand for beginner like me and very educative. and I think that would help to learn how to test components and find the fault with your way to diagnostic. Nice Friday and good weekend ;) Regards.

thank you for share experience ,it is Important for me

Sorin! I just found the BEST way to find short!... Connect a 18650 cell with high discharge 20 amps.. I would like to see more chips smoking !

Good job. Greetings from Brazil.

Great video as always

Nice laptop. Hehe I fix same one a few days ago.

Thank you sorin you are a genious. The only time i would use petrol on a laptop is to set fire to it after a failed attempt to fix it :). have a great weekend.

Great way to locate broken component!

Nice one master Sorin.

perfect as always

Not good friday but great friday.

Thk your explenation mr sorin

Wow , another great repair .

Video too short also because you are very experienced. Great Sorin!

Very BIG thank you sir for the awesome videos... You are really good and top on the list

Would you ever burn some thing else out if you bypass the mosfits & limiter? Those caps, are they polarized? Thank you, I always learn a lot. Peace

Great job bro

Thank you.

Thanks Sorin , Great as always . ; - )

Always Great thank you sir

Thank you Sorin for this video. I hoped you would record a video for this Asus laptop that you diagnosed during the repair of that Panasonic DVD player yesterday. Did you ever have a case where laptop actually starts and shut down after few seconds or a minute during windows loading? I had recently two cases of „ No power“, in both cases voltage on power connector was about 1 or 2V. In both cases there was a shorted Mosfet producing some power rail (GPU or 5V). After mosfet replacement laptops start but power is cut after few seconds or minutes.

Very nice!

I like these shorter videos, my attention span can be limiting at times.

Just a newbie question, when the capacitor`s gone, and you remove it, don`t you change it with a new one? Can somebody explain me that.

Thanks for the video. Did you replace the bad cap with a new one?

Thanks 😊

thank you my teacher

You are amazing!

Hi, thank you your videos, I really like your channel, I have a question: about the kind of petrol you use, is it an normal gas we use for machines car, bus... or some thing special for electronics. thanks again

tkx again for interesting video greats from Africa

""Nice Friday Fault""....lol

Sorin i Just love You ❤️

Greeting from Mexico

Hi.have same laptop over vga video working but not on lcd.any sugestion.love you video and great content. Cheers

11:39 wow! finally you are gentle for the motherboard :) all pads under the capactior will survive.Yeeeey! :) it could be even more nicer if you could take any donor board from your scrap and took from there good capactior from 19v power rail and replace it here. It is 1minute job. but maybe one day will see that on you video :) fingers cross :)

Your the king!!

Thank my master

I love that screws driver....where cam I get it?

Nice video Sorin, whos that bold handsome guy in the back?

Good day Sorin. I have a question why did you not change the capacitor that you removed, don't you need to put back a new one to make it stable? Can you tell me what model is your power supply you use for testing? Thank you Sorin for everything looking forward to a reply ;)

Hi Sorin, thanks for the beatiful content as usual. I wanted to know ask two questions to you: 1) it is advisable to solder a new capacitor where the old one was removed or it doesn't change much the behaviour of the circuitry. 2)Which kind of alcohol did you use to spot the hot zone? Was it Izopropanol? If no which kind was it? And may izopropanol make shorts between the wet components? Thanks so much I have been following you for years but since I recently got my new equipment and some computers to fix I wanted to delve in those repairs, so any advice about this two topic would be welcomed. I would also appreciate advices from other members of the community with more experience than mine ( which is basically null apart some engineering academic education ahah).

Thank you again teacher Sorin for more knowledge!

Sorin we are waiting for NEW VIDEOS!!!!

Nice 🔥🔥🔥

I have always wondered after watching your videos for so long, why do they put in 2 caps when one would suffice?

This is the bread and the butters

Got the same problem çan you fix for me

Hello, this comment might not be related to this video in any way, but I know this is the right channel to ask this question. I have been following and watching videos from this channel beacuse I am very interested in electronics repair. I am from Kenya and looking to set up an electronics repair shop here. I am looking for advise on a magnifying desk lamp and the magnification that can help me inspect the tiny components on a logic board comfortably. I'm really restrained financially and I have no 100 USD to spend on a microscope. Links to what I need on ebay will be very appreciated. Keep up the good work. You've inspired me alot.

Does anybody have a list of what he uses to repair these motherboards? This video just inspires me to learn motherboard repair.

So if that cap was shorted, don't you have to solder another cap insted?? How can we find out the value for that ? Or the new one has to be bigger in size to work fine ?? Just curious

😎 too cool man ✊🏻

Mr sorin why you don't use bios programmer?

You could use a current shunt in series to show the amperage at the start of the video. You could use the oscilloscope as well. Just for fun! Keep up the good work.

Silly questions: Don't you replace the cap you removed? Just took out the broken one and that is it? Can the laptop going on without problems in that way? Do we know what was the purpose of that piece? Many Thanks

thanks Sorin,do you handle projectors?I have LG projector model Bs275 stuck on standby,checked logic board by applying external 12v and 5v it comes on ,but power supply only gives 5 v ,missing 385v and 12v,tried to check components everything seems to be okay, could you be having schematic? how can you advice?

Would you please tell me about flux ...I made home flux with rasin and alchohol but it looks like as super glue ..I need to know how can I make it to be easily to remove or soldering smd IC graphics IC thank you.

Hi sir I wanna ask .if i have a power supply . Wich gose off when there is a short .do i have the shorted element get hot?

One question though....don't you need to replace the cap that was removed?

Sir. What about when turning on the it suddenly turns off like 2 or 3 seconds. What is the common issue?

Is your multimeter plugged into a power supply? I am confused about how the component gets hot when you are only testing the readings.

Not getting what you explained in the beginning regarding current pulling. can you explain..

You might not answer this but - (do you think it is time you get a thermal imaging cam?)🤔 I know they can be expensive, but they seem to make life easyer also less money spent on alcohol, petrol, anti freeze etc and any mess that them products leave.

Thanks Actually in my . country people avoid Asus because of this fault, but now I understand they are only trying to protect the PC,

I did see the laptop before:)
