Everybody : we need a new keybord Sorin : no no you need tow resistor

damn that was really clever of you Sorin. You never cease to leave me in awe

Yes,this is the real electronics repair school!

Oh yeah that's what we want to watch Sorin thank you for this kind of content

you handle frustration very well (better than I do).. and I always use windows to turn off my computer unless I need to to shut down faster.. Which is not to often.. well done Sorin.. You showed us that even the master can have troubles.. it gives us apprentices hope! thanks again my brother.. have a great weekend!

True repair school. Nice diagnostic, two ways to fix it, the easy way with keyboard and the hard way with knowlege to save money and do the job more quickly. You truly explained what is happening betwen power button and the connector. Amazing. Great nerves also.

I started thinks for a moment that there will be on/off switch glued with hot glue to the side of the laptop.

thank you Mr.sorin ive learned alot from ur videos

Ogni volta aspetto un tuo video sei sempre il migliore, buon fine settimana a te e famiglia.

Awesome job master Sorin

Great Work Again.

Sorin, i have done almost same thing, many many years ago on IBM PC motherboard. Using 1k pull-down extra on chip-enable to start up. All worked fine for years, and sold the PC as well. Great job done without change of keyboard. Just need the balls to do it. 👍

Great vid!

Hi was very useful and informative tutorial video . thnx

Awesome mod Sorin. I like it. Very clever.

amazing.thanks for the update.

nice approach

That's very clever and good fix. But if you see morally what if button resistance goes even higher to open circuit overtime maybe due to same cause and customer will have to come back to get it fixed.

loved that job well done

Kiitos!

Hi Sorin, you are sometimes so clumsy that i must LOL, but watching your videos is heart refreshing, it is a thing for own. THX

Great job.

greaat, a new trick for us. i will try it soon for my consumer laptop 😍

You're genuis ...still learning from you master

I love your videos you are the best sir keep up the good work 👌👍👍👍👍👍

This was one epic fix

thank for sharing

Excellent modified voltage divider. big thumb up Sorin

Good Job Sorin . Love From India (Mumbai)

that's real job Sorin

Finally Friday... Good job

Thanks for your work. If you have time make a video to build audio amplifier. Thanks

Good info and so far 9 min in the video. Much love

Hi Sorin! Great creative solution, as always. Could you make more videos of phone board jobs? At least for me, i find them much more difficult to repair than laptops and i wanted to learn more. Thank you!

nice always out of the box

loooool ur laugh at the end summurises it. Nicely done Sorin thumb's up. I think the reason why it doesnt turn off it's the 3.3 v that must be there precisely all the time so ur first attempt of putting higher resistance before SIO was the real deal, as u said maybe 1 mega or 1.5 should be fine to make it work perfectly.

good job.

Well done.👍

Good day Mr. Sorin. Thank you for all of your videos. We'll 1st of all, I can't say it is doggy repair. The customer would have left the laptop and carry on getting a new one. Which would cost him way more then to repair this one. You used your knowledge to bypass a very delicate and difficult keyboard replacement. And guys that keyboard replacement is really pain in the ass type work. I am amazed to see your calculated sense. I thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. SHAON from south africa.

Nice work!

Weekend fain !

Hallo Rosin Marking on the SMD resistor 105 . Calculated resistance value: 1 MΩ

Next time, find a pnp transistor, Collector to gnd Emitter to io pin, Base to power button. I did laugh when it was determined to stay on lol :-D

I love the Sorin way.

The smartest technician I've ever seen in my 30 years in elections repair

13:15 - the term you're looking for is "pull-up resistor" - it keeps the input pin of the microcontroller pulled up to 3.3v, so logic 1, until the button is pressed :)

The trick to holding those resistors with tweezers is not to squeeze it hard due to being afraid of dropping it. The extra pressure squeezes it out of the grip...I use a 760lumen LED bike light/torch and get on my hands and knees to find anything I drop, usually find it quick.

resistor be like: yeet! sorin: 👁️👄👁️

Nice one and very funny

YOU ARE AMAZINGGGG !

you are the best !!

gr8 job thanks 4 share

gracias

i love the live nd true situation,clever guy for sure

great job :)

The laptop starts, that was the job, nothing more, the shutdown has to be ordered separately! 😂😂Haha. Thank you Sorin !!! ☺️

I would put contact spray in the button and clean up whatever leaks out as a first step.

Amazing

👍👍👍 today resistor class 😍😍

Thank you once again. Never give sharing reparing tips with us

Try use the equation , it will make it easier, just use the formula and find the right resistor value and ur set

Honestly I have never laughed so much during a laptop repair. :D I wish it took you about 20 more resistors, every time "Oh Come ON!" lol

ahhahahhah amazing love so much when Sorin laughing on dodgy job:D

Hi Mr. Sorin. I also have an Acer laptop with a small / big problem. It goes ok for a while and then closes suddenly. I have a question: where can I find you? Thanks in advance.

Usually a place a small button on the left side of laptop ( making an hole ) probably i published a video about this...

Sorin the resistor disappearing magician. :D

Insane fix. I love it but I am just going to change the dam keyboard. :-D, I just add it onto the customer bill.

That is quite a frustating job to do. Respect to people who repair our broken electronics.

What when the windows freezes. The customer will not be able to turn in off with a long power button push. Why not adding a micro relay, so when it drops to a low voltage, the relay is keyed up?

Mr sorin u should work with northridge fix its better for u if u like u are a good partner with him.

U are smart

I already fix that kind of problem, i just replace with new switch and make jumper then cut the keyboard pat to connector

Sorin can you piggy back the resistors?

Mr Sorin, you are the best!

I have hp elitebook folio 9470m blinking caps and scroll lock 3 times tried changing Ram nothing

Hi dear professor, could you please restart of putting the model of the laptop in the title? Many thanks!!!

What will happen when the resistance of the power button will go higher?

Six Minutes in and diagnosed !

Final job is funny god job master.

You shouldn't be upset about the comments, after all you work on the garbage, which you save from ending up in the dump ..............GOOD JOB.................

Something always catches my attention and I still forgot to ask countless times... 😁 How come your microscope camera never shoots exactly what you're seeing with your eyes? Is it normal for this microscope?

i am still laugh at the end ahahahahaha you are crazy man!

what about using a transistor to pull the 3.3 rail to ground when you press the power button?

That dodgy resistor @ 56:14 is going to cause another fault after it breaks off

ahahahha 27:40 i just cant stop laughing, love u Sorin! Wavings from Argentina

I have the same issue

This is interesting

please I need acer e5 774 diagram .. I have a fan problem

the voltage of state 0 to put laptop on is different from the voltage of state 0 to turn off. if u dropped the voltage bellow 1.5 V from 3.3V the power button could've turn it off. very good try sorin.

I will just make a switch, on the side, the problem is i dont know exactly which will be the positive line, plz help

Sorin, I'm only a bit concerned by the "longevity" of this kind of repair; since the Power button could get worse contact over time, since there's (maybe) a water damage there inside. If I where you, I would add an external power button to be put in parallel mode with the original one using a couple of wires... But, of course, if there's enough space inside the la ptop casing. Anyway you thought the meaning of "PERSEVERANCE" !!!

I would like to see the face of the customer when you tell him you modified the motherboard for this 🤣🤣🤣

AS ALWAYS SUPURB

Genius

Can't power button be set to do nothing for shutdown in windows setting. Long press should certainly power off abrubtly though.

just solder a button with wires to the side of the laptop

Well said Sorin ,do not want to share the money ,A mans got a living to make lol

BEFORE see THE réparation i say : Sorin dodgy hot glue vibes, make a "new" button in left or right side of case :-)))) edit: oh no, no dodgy vibes ,but clever idea ;) salutations from swiss french

SORIN...we use a term JUGAR...I unable to find appropriate translation in English but it's something like to make a thing work by hook or by crook.... Someone advise of using a transistor switch...👍

ROFLOL "My resistor just fly somewhere" One day, if Sorin ever cleans up the work area, he may find enough "flying" parts to build his own laptop. I agree with the previous comment, spray a bit of contact cleaner first, then, if that didn't work, go do the dodgy repair. Thanks Sorin.
