I follow Sorin for some years so I know what he's capable of but the dexterity with the wire and the iron this time made my jaw drop!

Sorin replacing charging port ❌️ Sorin repairing the original port ✔️ Nice repair

I am 17 year it support . I start work in it service , your videos helping me so much , respect from Georgia 🇬🇪

Ooh, we get a Sorin time-lapse for unscrewing the board, is that a new thing? I wonder if you can bond/ melt the black plastic a bit into the connector so it can't move? Else like you said, it will probably break again one day. I wonder if the owner accidentally kicked out the usb-c to cause that kind of dent to the case? It will have likely slightly opened up the usb-c metal outer parts and the bent in clips that retain the plastic spacer too (maybe some of that uv glue in the rear part where the black plastic is kind of squeezed in by the metal USB-C might reduce its chance of shifting) ?

Sorin you are something else buddy the talent you have is like no other

That was a perfect surgery ,sir. I very enjoined when i saw that skillful soldering wires.

Sorin never fails to amaze me wow ❤❤❤

Thanks for the discord ping! Nice video to go with my coffee before work ❤

USB-C, one of the worst designs in technology in recent times

This a really hard job but sorin make it so easy

It is better to change out the socket. Metal housing is a bit bent = more wiggle. Also, plastic connector insert is loose with case.

12:25 if you have a problem with removing greasy solder flux from the board, try heating it up a bit with hot air and absorb it with a qtip or cotton disk. Then you will have an easy time removing any residues with alcohol or gasoline. Edit. And apart from that, after you clean rosin, the board often stays sticky

For charging I still prefer barrel jack 😁

Good morning, I'm not shure, but for what purpose you are using the UV-Gel ? Is it really necessary ?

how long this charging port can last? as looks like internal plastic part will be moving anyway

Congratulations Sorin 🥳👍🎉 on switching from hot glue. UV glue is indeed stronger and more convenient to use. I like "smelly" epoxy glue that sticks and is iron strong. PRO-POXY 20. I built a broken corner laptop for a customer. Adheres well to plastic after light polishing.

Does Huawei make their own laptop motherboards? Does it seem its a mid level or entry level laptop? Great fix sir!

1:40 I like the new Benny Hill mode

Sorin, I noticed you were looking into the microscope while shining the UV light, I hope this is safe for your eyes ... take care.

Hi sorin nice work again. I think you could use some hot glue to reinforce the plastic part of the port to motherboard to extend the life of that port as you say it is a user generated problem but it could help a bit more. :) have fun regards from istanbul Turkiye

Sorin are you considering making some tshirts or stickers? It would be so cool to have like "Thats a nice laptop" sticker :D

400k coming soon come on guys

Happy makara sankranthi sorin sir from India🇮🇳😊

Yesssss, morning therapy 😌

very clean job. enjoyed watch this video

Nice work

Those famous wires you usually use, are from wire transformers? thanks

This damage is customer fault. Shouldn't be covered by warranty.

I have two motherboards for an ASUS X541U one with i3 7th gen(dead chipset) and another one with i5 7th gen with password locked bios can i swap the bios chip from the i3 one on the i5 one will it work normally?

Perfect!!!

Good job mate 👍

hi can you please explain why there is second type c slot on this logic board , is this possible to use?

Sorin, it seems the tip of the soldering iron needs to be filed to a sharper point to work on those chip pins. Or is that not possible because of the heat distribution.

maybe apply some hotglue to the back of the port to stabilize the inner part?

hello friend , i have an huawei honor magicbook, same kind of board usb port, will you be able to fix it if i send the board to you?

Excellent work, soldering etc, uv glue, No Fault now!, lol

That's insane! I would throw that at a wall! Lol Damaged port is one thing. Ripped all the traces out is another.

Not convinced with these USB charging ports, changed my acer one in 5 minutes just unplugged and replaced £5

Hi ask my laptop charging but not turning on good battry how to fixed it thank you

well done, nice - I don't know about this UV-thingy and how to remove again (if necessary) but why not using hot-glue to fasten the wiggly pins at the charging port? What happens when the port realy need to be changed and there is this hardened UV-stuff, which can't be removed without breaking all tracks involved? ...well, just came to my mind and removing hot-glue might also be tricky, I know

What if gluing this plastic part with the metal part would make this connector more resistant?

USB C is even worse than barrel jacks. Those Lenovo rectangle ones are quite good though.

Hi! What is the green liquid thing you used with UV light? Never had seen it before. Thank you for the video!

With the case looking a littel bit bent I'd say it's more likely to have been dropped/knocked when the charging cable was plugged in and that's what has caused all that damage.

Do you do helium anymore? Is so, what’s the channel? Thanks Sorin.

great job as usuall

why no hot glue used on this? the plastic inside the charging port was moving causing to break the tracks on the board.....

Nice had faulty mps on this one recently from bad port assumably

maybe if you glue that middle plastic to a outer shell of usb port with super glue. might be more rigid. because i see that plastic moving independently

Which are the chances? That same laptop's problem was exactly what I was fixing today!

Is there a way to soften up the gel? I was just thinking that if it breaks again, there won't be an easy way to replace or repair the port again.

UV gel ??? we miss the hot glue hero

I put magnetic USB-C adapters on all my devices to eliminate plugging in the charger wire

When is the next episode of Sorin&Diana video?

Îmi pare rău dar usb c nu este ok pentru un laptop, poate pentru smartphone dar nu cred că este un conector reușit.

Nice one

If you put hot glue onto the repair would it not make the port stronger?

Will hot glue work to stop the port moving?

Hi, anyone knows how much it costs to fix this problem. I went to one shop. It says £100. That’s too expensive so I end up not fixing it yet. (Around whitechapel, London)

Inject the proper amount of superglue into the back of the plastic to stop wiggle 🤷🏼‍♂️

I can’t believe, I had the exact same laptop, has to fix 8 traces 😅

Usually, when I come to work like this and the black base is moving, I re-press the holes on the surface of the metal base to install the black base again.

good

damage from falling landing on cable is customer fault. Shouldn't be covered by warranty.

The crimp on the body of the usb c socket must have been bent so that the black plastic core is free to move. Replacing the socket is the best way to fix this otherwise it may break again even with glue added. Unfortunately there are many different usb c sockets in the market of varying quality and pin arrangement, the cheaper ones can be less robust. I use a magnetic lead with my phone to protect the usb c socket.

NiCe ❤❤❤

Magsafe FTW.

180°c?

Why not replace the connector with new one which can not move/wiggle the pin/plastic inside🤔

how did he know that the row of pins that are under the port for usb-c are fine? usb-c has 2 rows of pins right? i dont see how they were not broken as well

That metal shell on that port is doing nothing to protect that port. Some ports have hidden contacts under the port. If this laptop was new when sold and it is already had this damage I bet it will be back for the same repair.

No hot glue and make a sandwich this time? it will last longer and with Sorin garantie

Seen...

I think the customer should use a magnetic charger

That computer looks like a clone of a Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1

These USB-C ports are the worst inventions of the past years....

welcome the usb-c wonders, worst charging solution for laptops. Avoid it as much as possible.

Maybe some hot glue and it will be perfect 🎉

Who is building a USB port that does not hold up by the ground pins and only by the data pins ? it will be always broken .

❤❤🎉

This is obvious someone that have tripped on the cable or picked up the computer and forgot to unplug the cable.

Why do you always look at the picture through the microscope when the monitor is there?
