It is amazing how such a small fault can render a complete computer scrap without component level fault diagnostic skills. And this is now also expected to be done without circuit diagrams. Nice job 👍

I love how happy Alex gets every time he sees a successful repair. I’ve learned a lot from this channel even though I’ve been doing the same thing for years. I record the microscope for every repair but I only do it for the customer. Maybe I should start posting them too.

And yet another shop referred you to fix a laptop! That’s 2 in a row now! Everyone knows you're the man with the master plan! Thanks for the video Alex

I am a retired auto mechanic who specialized in diagnostics. In addition to a paycheck, the feeling of accomplishment when something comes in broken and leaves working was great.

I just love this instructor's sense of humor and how he teach us to fix the computer's issues. Easy to follow, calm attitude, work smart not hard attitude...Thanks so much for teaching us your skills and knowledge, I really appreciate that! I already subscribed to this channel so I can learn from this wonderful instructor :)

You make this look so easy when in reality its an extremely hard job to do with high risk of damaging the thing your trying to fix. Awesome skills :)

Great work Alex! better than factory ! Your smile when you get the computer fixed is priceless!

well done, you make repairs that other places won't try to find look so easy to fix.

I love your smile when you see an image on screen. Nice job...

Always amazes me that such a small part can bring down the whole system. Another one kept out of the e-waste bin! Great job! :) ❤ from 🇨🇦

Lovely work! I wish I could do this , but in which country I live , we just live month to month, I used to do this work in a company workshop as an Engineer until 2002 , eventually moved on to a higher paying job. But I love the way things have advanced and component level repair still being alive and well, plus great work by Alex.

you can just see the pride he has in his work. it is awsome to see. =) good job!

It is absolutely astounding the kind of dexterity you have

I do really enjoy your videos I worked for almost 40 years on electronic organs keyboards and amplifiers I had that same look when I completed my repairs. Watching you makes me want to get back into doing some repairs and now I know where to order all kinds of things to repair with. I enjoyed your kiddos being in the video. Be safe keep on making the videos.

Returning back to the micro soldering field after 4 years and this video had me smiling as well at the end. Display on after troubleshooting like that is worth every minute!!

You are one smart bloke, well done, I am in awe of the work you do on such small components.

I'm super impressed with how well you can speak English and also annunciate it as well.

Love watching you work. It's like a therapy.... 👍😁👍

Everytime i watch your repair video's its a new lesson for me. Keep up the good works my teacher 😊

You know a guy is in his top level skill when he shows you how he works...cheers man love the father/son tandem of business you have there...same as our business setup here in philippines..cheers man!

I love companies that clearly mark their components and list their datasheets and pinouts. Vishay has always been great at this. ;) There are two versions of each of these SiC chips. There is a non-A 5v PWM version and an A version that is 3.3v PWM. Just don't mix A and non-A versions... SiC651 - Mouser Part # 78-SIC651CD-T1-GE3 - 5v PWM SiC651A - Mouser Part # 78-SIC651ACD-T1-GE3 - 3.3v PWM SiC638 - Mouser Part # 78-SIC638CD-T1-GE3 - 5v PWM SiC638A - Mouser Part # 78-SIC638ACD-T1-GE3 - 3.3v PWM

That was enjoyable to watch and YOU have eyes like a hawk sir!

Alex you're awesome! Welcome back from Canada!

My most favorite joke from you comes when you thank Big Boss and I always keep on repeating the video over and over just for that. It goes that....... "Thank you Big Boss, the boss of all bosses" it makes me bust into laughter🤣🤣🤣 Other words ,apart from that,i learn much from u in this field. Thanks for the effort. Am also called Alex from Uganda but today it's been a loss ; Big Boss wasn't there to be thanked.

Excellent fault finding process performed. Well done.

We should appreciate that this repair shop actually knew you and came up with good advice to that person.👍😄

Same thing just happened to mine, had to give it to the authorised repair shop in my country, now I'm praying

Damn! That's why I LOVE your videos! You are amazing and before watching your videos I knew NOTHING about microsoldering but now I do my own repairs myself and some minor to average repairs on people that ask me if I can fix their devices problems when they know I'm a computer techy, I've studied computer science and programming but after watching your videos for several years I added microsoldering as well. Thanks alot for your videos and help!!.. ❤

You are doing such a great job. Keep the good work. ⚡

I like your passion, your hapiness it's clear when the laptop powers on XD

Impressive, awesome as always.

Nicely done! You earned a Sub ❤

Your videos are absolutely amazing! You are a brilliant man and what you do, I love to fix and build computers but watching your videos it’s truly inspiring! Keep up the excellent work sir 💪💪👍👍

Good video Alex. Well worth watching

excellent job master 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Always high-quality content on this channel. Great stuff! Is Big Boss your uncle?

Heyyy I have the same laptop. Fully working though, but good to know it's salvageable like this. Earned a new sub!

I find this stuff so intriguing ...loved watching this...ty.

Always suspect the capacitors. That's often all it is. What do I think? Beautiful. Thank you all for making the effort to do this. Being part of the trickle of sanity and decency in a world set up to undermine these virtues.

Great video... Another happy ending... Keep up the good work

Really enjoy your videos, always more to learn, thank you for taking the time to show/teach us. Could you tell me what brand of headset mic you are using? 🤔

عمل رائع و تقديم مميز ... استفدت كثيرا من فيديواتك ... تخياتي لك من ليبيا

One small capacitor renders an entire machine inoperable. That’s wild. Thanks for the video.

Good job mate 👍

16:15 yes yes Happy to see your happy face... Good Job... keep it up.

Great work 👏👏

Awesome job!!

Another fantastic video. Thank you for the effort you put into these. Please can you tell me how you find out the value of that cap without schematics please.

What a smile of your face when you powered on the laptop.😁

Another great fix from our new "Canadian" friend. Nice work Alex!

Rocking my 2008 Asus G50VT laptop that I have run for years 24 7 crunching on CPU and GPU it just won't die, seriously. And I'm running slightly overclocked X9100 my main machine to this day probably time to upgrade

Wow hell of a job man.

Powerful brother

Great ❤, big boss the final technician

Alex cools processor with his bare hand as heat sink. Take this, CoolerMaster! ;-)

Nice, great job .. 👍👍

I understand very little of this but I love watching the repairs. EDIT: Btw I have this laptop and I replaced the liquid metal with kryosheets just to be safer.

I have the same exact model , and one day suddenly the laptop wasnt power up and no signs from the charging lights either, and after reading some forums about asus laptops not powering up i feared the worse. I mailed asus explaining what happened and their answer was leave the laptop with its charger for more than two hours on , i thought it was a complete bs to be honest , but i didnt had anything to lose before shipping it to their service center , so i plugged it for two hours and it actually worked and the laptop came back to life .

Very good work as usual. I was wondering how did you determine the value of the capacitor that you replaced. Thanks

Been a subscriber for a while and love watching your videos. One thing that always puzzles me is how do you know what value capacitor to use? Did you "Steal" one off a donor board or does it not really matter?

Hi, Excellent stuff!.. I have been following your Channel for a while now and enjoy watching you carry out repairs, I really like your work, how you explain your though process and demonstrate what to keep an eye on etc, Illustrating the Practicalities of doing such repairs. However, this particular repair caught my attention as it being an Asus ROG branded Laptop, I did catch a glimpse of the Laptop sporting a Ryzen CPU, albeit this being a Laptop repair is similar to my own, which I have just built a new Ryzen 9 7950X3D on top of the ASUS ROG X670E-E Platform.. So, as you can imagine this video grabbed my attention more so than your others.. I only wish I knew as much about PCB's/Electronics as you do AND have the confidence to attempt a repair of my own, seeing that I have been building systems for 20 odd years and the number of systems which have basically been thrown away *Most probably* would have been a "Simple" repair job (I say Simple, however I understand its far from simple what you do in practice) This video has most definitely made me rethink what is possible/Cost effective when weighing up what my next steps are whenever I next encounter faulty MOBO/GPU/PSU component/devices.. Anyway, Great repair job & Excellent Content.. Cheers!!

Alex is the Gordon Ramsay of electronics repair.

me love de northridge fix, its better then de cake

grand master. - from philippines

16:29 a happy repairman is a good repairman

Hello, I am amazed how good you are in repairing this! You are the best ! I do own the same model. I am begging you, would you please repair mine, too? I will ship it to you. please? I beg you !

I remember I was the only person in southern California to do micro soldering , data restore and iphone repairs level repairs back in 2009 sh* how times have changed

Good job

Great job 😀😀

Very good repair work. I would be interested to know what temperatures you used with the hot air soldering machine for this repair. Best regards from Germany

Hallo Alex ! I watch lot of your Videos its awesome. Thank you to teach me about repair fix gpus or console stuff thank you . I hope you make more videos bro thank you

Thanks Theacher

NOOOOOOOoOOOooOoO!!!!!! I was so proud of never seeing the g15 advantage come across your table, now I’m sad 😢 Lol luckily I can actually replace all that myself thanks to an awesome youtuber 😊. I need to grab a scope and hot air station for my home office anyway, any chance you’ll be stocking that SiC? Figure if it goes like any of you other videos, more of that same failure is going to start pouring in.

عودة ميمونة ❤❤❤

Nice work
