@11:51 the component in SOT-23 (left one) doesn't look good!!

I like these "No repairs" just as much as the jobs that go as planned. You are really feeding us a good variety of approaches to repairs

Can we just take time to appreciate the hard work this man is doing to make us entertain and also make his customers happy 😊

You can be a surgeon, with your level of precision you would save many teams and lives, keep up the good work, you are the best my regards

Even though a no fix, the repair knowledge gained is priceless.

This is the same issue I have for my laptop. I am planning to send in for repair. Thanks Alex for your great videos.

1st class video again, totally hooked and enjoy every repair. Keep up the great content 👍🏻

These things are ones that are hard to be taught, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your work!!! Hope you're doing 👍. Bests regards from Dominican Republic

I love your way of work and confidence that you do work as you know already that the problem is here excellent 👍👍👍

Imagine destroying your PC because of the faulty USB C of the charger. Good job as always. At least the data is saved on a drive

I'm from sri lanka.🇱🇰 I really enjoyed your videos ☺️ & learned lot of things. You are a very good guy,🤘 All the best ❤️

These little daily uploads are really hitting the spot! Great work 👌

If it needs re-mentioning, happy to hear 😊 knowledge is a powerful thing.

We don’t get annoyed with you mentioning everything each video; it’s a bit like listening to a great piece of music, we enjoy it more and more each time! 🍾❤️

It's such a pity when is a "no fix" board but the given knowledge's a worthy lesson.

I think its great that you show the boards that are No-fix so people understand that not everything can be repaired.

Good job as always. I am learning a lot from your videos. Thanks

Dear Alex , thanks for the awsome videos . These videos are a source of joy . Dont stop

Hi.. I watched every video of yours. I like the job you do. You are an expert.

no fix but seem like i fix alot of these as i watch your video. thanks so much for sharing your experiences

11:50 there is a blown 5-legger also.

Seeing these videos with trace repair work I did some searching to see if there was a way to secure these in a different way. I came across Electrically conductive PCB paint from everything iv seen they used this in place of the pads it looked like paste that you'd fill the ripped traces with and you could solder to that. Is there any merit to suck a thing? I like your approach as it obviously works and is proven to work but I'm always looking to optimize how I do things or look for maybe a more efficient way. Love the videos as always 🙏

Thanks for showing us that problem which will make our work easy.

Exceptional designers. Not for the consumer of course. Clear intention👌

And by the way I love your work so much and every time I witch you videos I learn something new

I do love how clean you work

Sometimes there is no fix sadly but most important thing is that you tried to fix it 🙂👍. Few months ago, I got some monitor for free, it would not turn on. I took it apart and power supply had 4 blown capacitors. I replaced them and then monitor started working 😁👍

I am watching your all videos From India Your videos is very knowledge full

Very nice video. I love what you are doing so much, i learned so much from you. And you are doing such a great job. Thank you for the video. Greets

Experience is a great asset..... 👌... nice

I wonder if I would have been smart enough to check the USB connector after finding the fried chip or if I would have just replaced the chip and burned out the replacement as well. Thanks for the lesson Alex!

Which type of converter do use on type c for DC powersupplies

5:20 That was a amazing grinding! 😅👍

This man is a repair god. In and out, super quick, and knows whats most likely wrong before he gets there, that's gold.

Nice job, shame it couldnt be repaired but experiance paid off not wasting time 👍👍

What type of solder paste is that get like liquid u use?

Nice job Alex👍great video👍

Never to much information. Very often I wish you share more e. g. the temperature of the hot air etc.

Well try bro thanks for sharing your experience bro 👍👍👍

Suggest what flux is good tu use?

Respect , Thank you sir

just got a used spec 13" 3k2k oled for a little more than 900. very flimsy charging ports. ordered some magnetic connectors but ima open it and see if i can strengthen the ports

If a pin of the usb-c connector can bend up and touch ground, while receiving power from the same pin on the opposite side, isn't it a design error?

I am wrong when see your full video Your video is very helpful Thank you so much guru G

Would you consider CPU replacement if the customer is willing to pay a premium and if their device has sentimental value to them?

What's the name and use of that chip on type c motherboards

Nice to see you

@NorthridgeFix Hi friend! What happens if you examine a motherboard, it takes you say 1 hour, or even 2 hours, to find the problem but it is not economically convenient for the customer, to perform the fix? Does the customer still have to pay you something even if you only looked for the problem but didn't do the repair?

Nice video from a professional tech

How would you approach to the laptop that turn of randomly? Did you get this kind of problem? CPU temp is fine, replaced thermal paste. DC jack is good, hdd test good, RAM test good, charger is good. I try to twist and bend a MB to check for crack solder joint but nothing to find that is cousing laptop to turn off. After it shutdown itself i need to disconect and reconect charger to start it again.

which cpu or spectre model is that?

7:31 Cant you use the mask under that tracer that you replaced ?

Can i ask from where did you buy the microphone you are using to recording the video ? 😄

The independent repair business is a hard road to travel. Gone are the maker support of long ago. Hopefully folks at least appreciate your efforts.

sorry I have to ask, you said you have the same board? that board most be having a cpu on it can you change the cpu of that board assuming you know that cpu on donor board is good... I don't know if that is economical but I'm sure that's more eco than buying a new laptop?

Sir can you make a video on ic removal and soildering

good job mate.

Well another fine video.

See experience is priceless.

this repaired trace - mind blown.

Computer surgery has always been my favorite ♥️

Good stuff.

Sir i have a desktop toshiba 2tb hard drive its chip is burnt will it be ok

So is a problem with the cpu yes?

Just a quick question, when a board is deemed not repairable, and the customer is advised to leave it to you as a donor board, do you pay for it ? (the donor board)

Cpu for these motherboards are around $140 to $260 new. Some people aren't willing to pay that.

Thanks

Grinding Pen link is not working

None of these issues were present in those days when laptops got their power from a DC barrel Jack and USB was for connecting peripherals. DC jacks had their protection MOSFETs and zeners, USB had their fuses.

Sir can you send product what we sell to out USA. Like Serbia becous i am from there!?

amazing video

Awesome

Due to same connector issue, i plugged an otg on my phone, and i don't know about faulty connector and next day phone cpu dead

nice Vedio ☮️👍

After you’ve replaced parts and deemed a no fix, do you go back and take your parts off and put the original ones back on before you send it back to the customer?

Bad board made for a good video, thanks

Sir you put one lead of multimeter on component and other one put where?

So basically the charger sent a big power spike through this board, leaving a trail of destruction everywhere it went.

sorry alex i like the no fix videos .....it shows your abilities in deduction and its entertaining not for you and your knowlegeable subscribers obviously of course... but as a spectator as i am ....joe from uk

I think there is gnd and other side check

Have a HP Spectre for work, I hate it, never had so many issues with a laptop.

Can the customer provide CPU/GPU that he bought himself after it was deemed NOfix and give it to you again with new component and then you replace? Is that common or rare situation?

My fave creators are him and HVACRvideos.

Where can you get a new battery for the Hp spectre? hp’s website is garbage for getting used parts

Assalamu alekum sir

I have a problem with an RX 570 graphics card mining version (I got scammed and I thought I was buying a regular version). When I tried to use it in windows, win10 recognized it and installed the drivers but it cant mine because windows wasnt initiating the device properly. When I moved to HiveOS (Linux), I was able to mine with it but there is a constant memory access error and it appears that the device mining capabilities are halved. I was thinking on buying a damaged card and replace memories. But since I have almost zero electronical repairing experience and I live in Poland. -Could you refer me to somebody around here? -How much should I paid for the repair if I find somebody brave enough to do the job? -Would it be too hard to repair it by myself?, more from the economical perspective (since I already resigned myself to the loss of my money), I was aiming to actually learn something besides "do not buy stuff using google translation".

👍👍❤❤❤

im not even an old subscriber but there are multiple videos here on HP spectre laptop! HP should have recalled 🤔

Charging over USB-C is the worst thing to happen to laptops since the scandal of dedicated GPU without sufficient cooling remember those

👍

Boss 😍😍😍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

still a good job

Dead CPU, well the new (10years more or less) are connected directly to the USB ports. The data lines of USB pass a chip and then go to the PCH (inside CPU) in old the go usb-chip-chipset-cpu (always chipset fried) So if you sorted a 20 volt direct to the PCH (0.8/1v) is dead end. Is other form of planned obsolescence they can put a USBC port only for charge no data.

Imagine plugging something into your fast, fancy, new USB-C port and then having it fry your CPU 😂

👍🏾

Knowing when to give up saves time and costs. Learn from your lessons and other people's lessons

As they say, know when to fold em.

Ah yes the HP spectre. That's a lemon model. What's up with Spectre/x360 anyways? What's the deal with them I get so many bad at work and we don't do board repair. Got some DDR4 chips and chargers, hdd/ssds out of them though that's all they are good for. Do these laptops need some kind of fuses or protections for the new USB-C technology? Seems like the companies haven't really got that all figured out yet.

On that Degree Celsius you are using the heat gun
