Going above and beyond as is standard operating procedure for Adamant IT I've noticed. You're local customers are so lucky to have you and many of them probably don't even know it. Most computer stores would at best diagnose a motherboard fault and then just toss out the existing board. They would then perhaps upsell the customer on a more expensive replacement part with a decent markup, plus probably charge more labor than you did in actually repairing the board. So yay to no needless e-waste and another bravo job sir!

I can say with a fair bit of confidence that the misaligned i/o plate and the broken solder joints have the same cause. When the expanding packing inflated, it pushed down on the gpu hard enough to not only bend the motherboard, causing the already substandard solder joints to fail, but it also bent the motherboard tray of the case.

@procta2343 Жыл бұрын
i think this sort of repair work now, is getting very thin on the ground. Too many shops just want to the quick swop and away, rather than use skills on repairing, like people used to do. I fixed my PC speakers, with a soldering iron. That was thanks to Markus Fuller, who did electronic repairs, so a quick look at two mins if that with the iron and good as new.

Though after he found out it is a chip on the motherboard not any other part that is the problem unless he offers logic board repair services which he does. As most don't and only do part replacement not chip repair they would replace the part that they found to be faulty.

Times money mate. A board is cheaper than the diagnosis cost
@yumri4 Жыл бұрын
@@DJIInLondon As he seems used to finding the place the error is made it was quick. As most logic board repairs use cheap chips or no chip in this instance it really depends on how quick are the employee at finding the error and how expensive is the board for which one is objectively cheaper after all costs are accounted for. You still have to go through the majority of what he did to find the part that needs replacing as blindly going through a list will take more time then to do simple diagnosis like he did to get to it is a motherboard issue.

@@josephmeholick1300There is always that one guy who thinks like you. For the 10.000th time it doesn't matter, if there is an air pocket stuck in the pump housing he can just rock the case back and fourth until it has moved to the radiator.

@@AutodidactEngineer Well this is in ideal position is one where the pump is the lowest point in the loop but as you say it doesn't matter, it this case you would hear gurgling but nothing more than that. The only thing I will say is that as the coolant levels get lower then you'll get more air working its way into the pump which can damage the pump, some AIOs have fill ports though so you can always top them up. I mounted my AIO in the top of the case which is the best place as you'll always get coolant flowing through the loop, but again as you said, it doesn't matter.
