Yeah but what you are missing Sorin is that you have the WISDOM that most of the other KZfaq creators don't have within themselves. They may have fancy graphics and ways of showing the current flow but that doesn't make them better. You underestimate your talents and need to start back up teaching your beginner lessons. It's not a competition between them and you. If it was, you would be the winner. If you notice all of those other guys ALWAYS use schematics in their teachings. You are the ONLY ONE who can perform repairs just from your knowledge in your head. Please don't give up on us. We really appreciate all you do and want to see new classes from you. Thank you.

Well just something about your lessons. Your ones are different from all the others, it's like art teachers , they are all art teachers , but some are very messy , others work/teach very clean , you can learn from all. Your art is electronic repairs, and I think we all like your art in the form it is now. Something else , your videos are all RAW , no editing , no cut , very straight quick repair. Keep doing it , Thank you !

Just love his style. Minimum tools, a little lighter fluid and boom, all fixed. I've watched Louis Rossman use alcohol to find the hot parts too. The two best computer repair people on YT. Great stuff Sorin!!

Sorin as others already mentioned you're just straightforward and trying to share your experience with us. I believe that's the most you could do for anyone involved into electronics repairs. Thank you.

Sorin I told you many times “there is no one better than you “ we learn all from you and like the way you do it. So do not think you doing anything wrong for us. I thank you for all the time and hard work you do for us. And I hope that you can do it again and again so I learned a lot from you. And many more!👍🏻

I have watched many beginner videos and the way that you explain things is so much more in depth/an easier way to understand the reasoning behind the how and why. I appreciate all of your videos and would like to let you know that the time is not wasted in creating them I know there is many that appreciate them.

Comparing your beginner lesson videos with some other KZfaq channels, I'd watch yours anytime. The reason is simple: you're the guy with knowledge based on real work experience. Theory is nothing without it's application. I liked your beginner lessons more because those were combined with practical demonstration. I'd really appreciate if you'd continue doing more electronic component lessons like caps, inductors, diodes... I recently discovered your channel and subbed immediately after watching one of your repair videos. Electronics is fun, and with you around, even more! Thanks for everything you do, keep it up.

Thank you 🙏 for sharing your great experiences and helping others Around the world 🌎 BEST OF LUCK.

Sorin you are missing the point on why we follow you with such great admiration: You take us along side on the repair process, we've seen you struggle on difficult repairs (like last video) and say "I don't know" like us beginners do all the time and then you keep going on till you fix things in mind blowing ways, of course some purists (or people new to the channel) won't understand that you have very small amounts of time to get the job done, I'm sure many other "professionals" won't have the same success rate under same conditions. It is true others may have better animation, but you are a better teacher for raw, real life repairs, you don't skip parts to the process, you struggle, you guide us on your thought process, some times it feels like you can read our minds as if we were just beside you: "No, removing that cap is not a problem because..." Question time: How common are those chips that behave like mosfets? is it worth to stock a few from china? are they as generic as mosfets?

It's incredible that peole that walk by shor shop and those who have the priviledge to have YOU fix their stuff have no idea they were in the presense of a real life GENIUS. Thank you for these videos. As a video maker myself, I understand that switching on a camera to record what you repair to help someone else means the job will take 3 times longer. Please never stop switching on the camera. Thank you Mr. Sorin.

Another great video! Keep them coming! I could watch your videos all day long! When I have a little time I watch another video from you every day! Thanks and you have all my admiration for what you do!

Every video you sent is a GIFT for me!Thank you so much!!Greetings from Greece!

Mr. Sorin we appreciate your "on site" beginner/medium/advanced lessons, keep going the good work !

Tanks to you Sorin, i can progress in electronic fixing day after day .yours vidéos are great and your "style" is unrivalled! keep UMP thé grenat work.

Yes indeed, thursday and another good vid from dr. Sorin, THANKS Sir!

Yes some other channels have good presentation graphics, . I've seen a lot of them , but it's only thanks to you and your videos that I have already fixed 3 laptop

Thanks for videos, Sorin. You inspired me to buy my first DC PSU and few other tools. Now I will hunt down some older non working laptops (read cheap!) to see if I can fix them. Hope I remember everything you taught! Thanks again man.

I am from the old school and its lessons are very practical and effective. Many thanks. for your experience, tips and advice.

Sir your videos are the best I've come across. I watched them take notes on my notebook everyday.

Te respect și apreciez pentru ce faci. Învăț lucruri și descopăr mici chestii importante pe canalul dumneavoastră. Le-am aplicat pe unele, am reparat un laptop vechi dar bun și tocmai ce l-am donat unui copil ce are nevoie de el. Mersi și spor în continuare!

In my mind I thought the job would take a long time but you are hero of short circuit , little petrol and a lot of amps..amazing Big thumbs up Sorin

Honestly I learn a lot from your channel...very clear and easy to understand

You're the man, Sorin. Thanks from Argentina!

I think you should be proud, you have real life experience which is more valuable than any animation or raw lexical knowledge. Thank you for the videos!

From a Sorin to another more capable Sorin, just RESPECT and GRATEFULNESS for taking the time to teach us new tricks. As about the shorted capacitor, I’ve seen a motherboard back in the day, where all all electrolytic caps that we’re around the CPU were swollen or open at top. Still, that computer, which was a glorified file server, never missed a step, never froze, never bluescreened. So yeah, sometimes you can go away with removing a capacitor, it just depends what was his role 🍻

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your valuable time and knowledge.

About the beginner lessons I think they are great and you do very good job Keep going

Amazing! You are the best, Sorin! I enjoy a lot the way you explain things and it's like a detective's serial where you investigate to find the culprit :D.

Mr Sorin, you are a wonderful, extremely wise man. You do not need schematics and instructions. I am not an electronics artist, I am just a layman and I am still waiting for your next videos. Greetings from Poland

Short: Please keep doing your beginner lessons. Long: I've been on and off trying to learn electronics for years, books, videos etc. Animations are great, schematics are great, but they aren't the same as the real thing. Your vast experience and genuine love of electronics from a young age, is what makes your practical examples more valuable. The fact that you slow down and hand draw the schematics as you're thinking them through and explaining them, makes it easier for the beginners to digest the information. Thank you for all you've done so far, and I hope you keep doing it for a long time to come!

I was just watching one of your older videos and boom notification for a new one. Insta LIKE!

All of your lessons are good, Sorin! Keep it up!

Thanks man, i'm very grateful for all the knowledge that i have received from you, I won't get tired of watching and liking your content.

A great quick repair video Sir,keep them coming they are great.

Really great video.Like the way you teach, like your channel. Wish I started learning sooner.I'm 48, don't think I am too old .Let's learn things : )

Hey Sorin thanks for the great video again realy appreciate the time and efford you put in these video's

Tkx Mr sorin I ve lean much thinks from this Chanel It wonderfully to have you.

From India........learn electronic every day..... thanks you...

i did understand sir and you are professional for doing this without bitmap :)

You are the best repair guy! Throw anything at you and it will be fixed! Love you man!

Hi Sorin , just keep being you . You are fine as you are . Thank you for how and what you do .

Sorin, Your teaching style is far better than the animations you talked about, as Nik Nik said in the previous comment you are raw and its always a pleasure to follow along, If you were a maths teacher there would be far more smarter kids in the class because they would pay attention to what your saying, Keep doing it your way mate :)

I must confess you are best teacher on KZfaq keep the good work going

Every one of your videos is a valuable lesson. That's why you have so many subscribers!

I find your lessons more helpful nobody can help with such professional ideas.

Thanks to this video I fixed a similar model HP. The symptoms were the same and had a low resistance path across the power rail. I never would have had to guts to pump so much current into the board. I almost gave up because nothing seemed hot at up to 4 amps. It turned out the bad capacitor was on the bottom and it cooled off immediately with the power off. After removing the bad cap (not replaced), the laptop turns on. However, the battery doesn't charge. The voltage at the power input is pulled down to 15V (??). Still, I pretty happy.

Bro, this is awesome! Awesome lesson!

Thank you, Sorin!

Your unique offering to youtube is your guerilla tactics that take tough jobs on unknown hardware, with no schematics, and get to a solution within an hour. I find this approach most valuable and it's hard to find on other channels.

Amazing as always!!!

First time ever seeing your channel. I'd encourage you to do the beginner lessons. The reason is that I've got a very hard time taking in information from those "professional" videos where all is animated. I need to know every detail, and have it explained face 2 face to understand. I can't take it in by reading either. Videos like this one right here is what teaches me

You are explaining the capacitors just fine. For those who don’t understand maybe use the example of old school, automotive breaker-point ignition. As you were describing the function of a capacitor in a switch mode power supply, that is the same function of a condenser(capacitor) in the ignition system. With points closed, 12v battery power goes to ignition coil. When the points open to induce the primary field into the secondary, a huge arc can form between the contacts causing a number of problems least of which being catastrophic damage to the points and significant RF interference because it’s essentially a spark gap transmitter for a brief moment when the points open. . The condenser absorbs the energy that would produce that arc, stores it until the points close a discharges.

dont worry you are better than others..you are a master in board repair

Just to tell you that I'm instantly happy when I see you have a new video out! What is your secret to staying so calm and always being happy?

Thank you sir you are my best electronics teacher ever

Hi. I am new on this channel, I am jus subcribed. It is so wonderful to see this videos tutorial. You are a genius man. I appreciate that you take the time to teach your knolage wit us. Thank you so much.

Additional knowledge again sorin..always very nice video..will explained..thank you.

Quick, nice diagnose, and doggy fix :) Without schematic it is hard to guess the capacity of that cap -so I understand it, but I've said: doggy because you ripped off that pads :) You had solder station ready and hot, so you could take that cap in 10seconds. Don't be lazy :)

Nice one boss, very quick troubleshooting...

I learned from you to make a light sencitive transistor from an ordenary one. I tought i should bring one to work today and try to make an optokobler with a 2N3055 and a diode. Nice to do with my apprentices. I think your fokus on how to reuse parts from boards is important. It is a lot of components on the electronic garbage we throw away today. I think it should be a place for your electronic knowlege because you are different.

First of all I wanted to tell you that I love you man! I've been following you for a long time and you're just funny and genius Today I got a dead client computer that I was able to fix with everything I learned from you Respect! You are the best! (By the way, how can I contact you directly?)

Bravo si mult succes in continuare.

Thank you for the video, it was educational. I didn't realize it is possible to find shorted component just by touching the board. In my case it happened to be AD7676 chip, very hot on a laptop that doesn't power on or charge.

Your beginner videos contain something that other people are often missing: many practical demonstrations. We like your beginner videos as well, especially if you keep the focus on the practical aspects and make small projects, perhaps. For the theory, you can direct viewers to other content that you like. Another important point is that a lot of people focus on making the video polished (for style) but then make it too short, skipping a lot of important details. I would rather watch a longer and less slick video that gives me the details. Your videos also have the important quality of demystifying electronics: it is not a black art, just knowledge to be acquired. In any case, thanks for sharing your skills!

Brilliant again. Have a nice weekend.

Love your videos and explanation. You need to show more phone videos . I miss seeing pouring petrol while injecting voltage. More important every video is a lesson.

Always the best, good job.

sorin i will tell you only one. im trying to lear littlebit electorinks and some repairs and wached too many videos, there, its you are only one person which ia tryng to explayn clearly. i dont know why i cant understood others explaining lessons, but trust me, you are beast in this case. i am tryng to wach all of your video. im learning too much from you. you know. you know what, im somehow proud inside with you. i wish i can meet you and know you close. love u so much like human and like pro. for me, you are pro. dont care and u must dont care about what others are sayng. trust me, you are doing your job wery well and you are helping too much people. and u are like teacher, a friendly teacher for me. i dont know english well and sorry for this. thank you for everything u are doing for us!!! and tell u one more. in my coutry its like 1 teachers have around 60 students in 1 year, and max 10 want to learn some from them... and look how many do you have? and almost 90% are siting and watching your videos 3 or more time to take some info from you. u are like movie when u are watching about 3 or more time, cos you are learning more and more from it..... once more sorry for my english, thank you.

one thing i like sorin and his teaching is without schematics. is started repair(not paid) without schematic. the teachings boast me up because of that genius sorin showing to repair without paper. l always like the lesson since the beginners level

I am very happy with your channel very helpful

Dear Sorin I've searched also for electronics for beginners, yes they are nice but for me (as a beginner) it's always hard to find the connection between what I'm learning and laptop fixing (which is my passion hobby) in your video it's more directed. I was optimistic when you started your beginner series but the you stopped because you thought it boring, I assure you it's not for someone who want to learn, with all respect to your wife opinion but maybe she finds the whole electronics thing boring. I would love to see you explaining things that others may find dum but for a beginner who's trying to shortcut time is very useful Like: - when you open a laptop where do you expect to see a voltage, and how much is that voltage. - when you come with your power supply where do you put it on the motherboard, why And what are the value that you start with. Many thanks in advance If you answer or not 😀 Big fan

man nice to watch your videos you genius

Happy holi sir

Thank you for this video, very educational as always. Can you explain to me how a mosfet reduces the output voltage from 19 volts to ... volts? Or is the input voltage always the output voltage?

Great Job ! and awesome video thanks !

Always following your video lessons and they are always helpfull. Thanks alot. I had love to know more about the power supplying device, it functions, when to be used and how. Would really appreciate if I get an answer.

hi Sorin! thank you for sharing your videos, I just wanted to know on how you do the heating test of the bad capacitor, please teach me. :)

TnQ man , My Teacher , My Mentor

Excelente explicación. Puedes compartir el esquemático y/o boardview?

Lucky motherboard. My is sitting on the table for months. Have no clue. 19v all around and cant find what is wrong. Hp too. Great vid. Cheers from serbia...

you are the best . dont change please

hi there, it very useful video. thankyou

Excellent.

Sorin, how do you feed amps to the motherboard with your power supply which heats up the bad components. Thanks

I love you teacher

Sir I ask u something about the capacitor u remove it, and why u cannot replace another capacitor u remove, instead,. Very nice techniques.. Learn a lots to all techniçian to follow of your videos. 1000000 thumbs up. Tnx a nice videos.

Very good Job 👍👍, why you not replace the Bad capacitor from new one?

Good stuff , show us some phone repairs :)

Hello, a pleasure to participate in your channel, I am interested in changing the motherboard of my hp 250 g6, since it had an overload and it burned. My problem is if the processor can be changed from board to board, since it comes stuck with some glue on the edges.

Thank you

I like your video really help

could you post a link where to buy the "petrol" you used to identify the shorted capacitor? is it safe to use petrol used in cars? Thank you!

love youuuuu :* i just start watching. :*

I do really like the # of screws on this cover - very few

I liked the video and obviously I subscribed on your channel

I would rather learn off you then a hundred fancy graphic videos. Thank you soo much for your time. If we ever meet,i would like to buy you a beer.

Vry nice video sir. At 14.15 where did u connect the positive point on board. Can we put positive at any mosfet to check shorted component

hi, sorin can you please tell me what kind of ribbon cable goes to the cd-drive? i have the same laptop, but without cd-drive. i searched everywhere but unfortunately i didn't found that ribbon cable. thank you! sorry, my mistake, ribbon cable to sata, because i want to put a hdd where the cd-drive should be. thanks!

love it

Useful video 👍
