You the best. I'm one of your leaner followers and have a special folder just your videos in my laptop. May God bless you. Believe it when I say you helping me feed my family. Best of love from Africa, Botswana

as long as you told the customer about the problem and he decide what to do, you are applying in my opinion a clear and honest way of doing business.

Hi, I am from Argentina, we do a lot of this kind of repairs, laptops here are very expensives, so we repair as much as we can. Thanks for the video! helps a lot!

at the end of the day thats another laptop out of the landfilled. God job.

There are shops that wouldn't even touch that job. But you fixed his laptop the best you could. I'm sure he will appreciate it. Not everyone has all kinds of money to spend and you understand that. Always learning from your channel. Thankyou JR

I'm from Brazil and I totally understand this kind of job.

I notice some people are so rough on their electronics: phones, computers and tablets,. I had my computer for years and my phone for years and they are in very good condition. Good job sorin, you are one of the best on KZfaq.

Nice work Sorin! That model HP uses the cheapest plastic I have ever seen. It is very brittle and cracks easily especially where the hinges mount. You have to be VERY careful opening the laptop when the bottom cover is removed because the hinge mounts can snap. If the hinge gets too tight it can also cause the cheap plastic mounts to break. Nothing is made to last anymore.

I am very thankful to you Sorin, Sir for making a video of such a thorough job. It gives me inspiration to venture to work on my Toshiba Satellite Radius P55W-B5224, which has a loose hinge, all vowels of the keyboard do not work, after watching a movie for longer than 1 hour, the screen suddenly started malfunctioning - flickering. I thought it got too hot. I opened the laptop and cleaned the fan blades and then vacuumed the air inlet (tiny holes on the top portion of the keyboard). I reinstalled the display driver and reseated the RAM, battery, touch screen. Screen flickering getting worse to a point that screen getting dim and nothing shows up on the screen. However, I used an external keyboard and external monitor connecting the monitor with a HDMI cable. The external monitor is displaying everything and playing movies perfectly. I do not want to buy a new screen. The laptop's screen was fantastic before trouble started. I have not touched the LCD display cable. However, unplugged the touch screen to reduce interference. I might have made a mistake when I unplugged the touch screen cable - perhaps did not disconnect the battery (disconnected the charger though). Sorin's video gives some hope to identify the connection point(s) of the display cable on the motherboard side as well as on the back of the screen. This model of Toshiba laptop is more complex than other models. Any feedback from viewers as well as from our Professor, Sorin is much appreciated. God Bless you, Sir!! You are really, really good - running short of words to appreciate what you do and your knowledge and mentality - help others and the environment. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!!!

On vacation i fix up computers and laptops in my village. I often see broken hinges and i tell the customer. We can A. Glue it together but it will likely break agin and it might not be possible, B. Buy a new screen housing but it will definetly break agin or C. Repair it proper solid with a bolt and nut on the other side. They always choose C and never regret.

Dislike? Why? Its another GREAT JOB by Sorin.

Also as a customer I want my lap top working.. if more is needed I want to know before the work is done so I can say yeah or nay.. I hate it when they say your job cost xxx only to come back and find it is now much more than originally planned for.. you did a good job.. I used to own my own business for 40 years.. I know what is needed.. and options are the best way..

Another excellent repair carried out, nice to that nothing goes to waste, keep up the good work.

just started learning the trade a few weeks ago. absolutely love your channel my man! great stuff

Its nice to see you are ok THANK YOU for what you do and what you teach us. Thank you very much. I hope one day i could help other people with my job. Blessings Sorin.

sorin, I really love when you talk about how to run the business, please keep this talking on. we learn from this talking just like from electronic repair.❤️ my appreciation 👏👏👏

You are very skilled Sir and your running commentary is very good not only technically buy commercial/business viewpoint .

Thats never a dodgy job in Kenya trust me Sorin🙌🌹 Really beautiful job

AM DEDICATED TO YOUR LESSONS AND PROUD TO FOLLOW YOU

I appreciate a lot that type of video, good to you to show that sort of situation (even when you go into trouble for some customers, losing time, and there is an accident then, you may face trouble) great to show that repair, thanks This is a hobby for me I admit ; that sort of laptop is relatively easily sold between 60 - 100€ then send away to another country. SO some laptops from the bin get a new life and are useful to someone in the end - after sometime, I get used to old type USB replacement on telephones and other blue tooth devices, thanks to all those videos, does not make me an electronician, but somebody that can help in some case ;)

Thank you SORIN for such teachings and lessons for us to feed more put of your knowledge , keep up the good work and for this generation you are such a blessing unaware but honestly you are a blessing indeed. You dont know how much you are helping people to improve their work in their workshops in all you are leading a big generation to survive, thank Again My Mentor SORIN 🤝

Cu toata stima, am stiut ca sunteti din romania :D Sunteti un adevarat intelept si om de treaba! Am invatat asa multe din filme dumneavoastra!

You are doing a good job Mr repair teacher I love your patience , I love how you are teaching , may God bless you and give you long life , thank you so much for everything

Great video, as always pleasure to watch you my friend!

How nice that you show how to repair the screen, what will your customer be happy, I learn something new every time, but I do not yet understand how a power seply works even though I have a home 😔The diganost of the motherboard is also a mystery to me. You are the best electrician there is so much patience.

Thanks Sorin for another lesson for the beginners. You a are great teacher.

Wow! What a great and wonderful job, I honestly learn a lot from you.

What I've learned from several repair videos and channels is to always check the second mosfet. If this is shorted, even the first one does not work because of lacking gate-voltage. But anyways, this channel was the starting point of my interest in electronic repairs. I've learned a lot since then and still do. Thanks Sorin.

you are great man. many others will refuse to repair that laptop

Mr Sorin thank you i wish all the goodness in this univers for you and your family. i learned a lot by you. so thank's

I am glad to see a on the budget repair. I do it al the time, but a broken hinge i dit do not know how to do.

Jobul asta mi-a adus aminte o intimplare de acu citiva ani in urma ( nu multi, 4-5 ani ): A venit un om cu o unitate de pc si m-a rugat sa ma ocup de ea ca-l scot copii din casa. I-am zis s-o lase si sa treaca dupa 2 zile. Nu m-am uitat pe loc. Am avut un soc cind am constat ca era un 386SX. In final i-am facut o unitate cu un P4 si i-am dat-o de pomana cu conditia sa duca cealalta unitate la reciclat. PS. Chiar is curios si eu cum vor fi comentariile

😍Excellent Repair, Sorin😍 PLEASE stop apologizing for doing great work and fixing broken things. I can tell you have honor, integrity and honesty. When I come to the UK if I can find your shop I will bring my broken things to you without a second thought and 100 percent confidence in your "dodgy" repair.... Much respect for you and your skills.

Hello Master of repairs You are definitely right, I understand what you are saying, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us GOD bless you

Thank you for sharing this kind of video. It is a great lesson. You fix things cheap, that's big. Fixing stuff with new parts and lots of money requires no skill by comparison. No street ingenuity . Nothing. In places and houses where money is tight this level of skill is invaluable.

Of course it is perfect...You did a great job again!

You are good human Sorin.

I honestly don't understand why your client wanted to fix that thing!😱 Having said that you are always the best.👍

An interesting repair as solve to each problem. The customer and the cost as first goal to operation. And the care with heat to hot glue. I am using the techniques to a 50 year old electronic. *Baldwin( (fun machine). (1975). which came to my shop bench mostly working as all original. Also very heavy dust *repair as compressed air. clean out rapid. An circuit board diagram as very early digital signal path. Unit is working well to tones, voices, rhythm At a troubleshooting to a likely mosfet fail, my hand slipped and I shorted a tv unit to fail, destroyed. (last week). Was not a customer's but salvaged unit....and a reminder to me to use effective bench and workspace place as component. I study your work bench to consider best placement as solder and tool layout. Thanks for the post and training to craftsmanship....great to learn from your work. Thank you....with "Regards from Washington State, US. McGary".

We need more videos like this there are times where ordering a part isn't the easiest or fastest . Here in serbia we don't have an option for cheap and fast shiping of those parts so the only option many times is to order from aliexpress or ebay and wait few months which isn't the optimal solution most of the times if customer needs his device done as soon as posible. And this is great temporary solution for the customer to get it working untill part arives. Thanks for the video!

real repairs, more like this please. If they wan't to pay for replacement parts great if not you do the best you can. You're still number 1

great video sorin we dont just learn electronics repair from you we also learn how to do business thanks for sharing :)

I may not be working in a shop at the present time but I have done jobs that made me wonder why am I doing this for so I do understand what you are saying and also you have done an excellent job at low cost you feel good that is what counts.

Awesome Video Sorin. True repair shop experience with everyday Jobs we encounter.

Sorin i have one little suggestion you should put it title or in description which exactly model of laptop you been working on because many many people search and cant find some and you have that done repaired showed everything but there is no way to find it if you just not lucky to see it on your video. and I think that will increase viewership by ALOTTTTT! for real when people type for example hp g3 repair your video will popup and I think in my head for days and days why you don't put that in description or title it gonna help the world ! Especialy someone godmaster like you in this! Much love from Serbia!

sorin i know you help a man. who don't pay much money on the laptop. probably no one helped the men but you did. please upload all kind of videos becouse we so much learn from the your videos. Thank you 🙏 love from india ❤️

I'm from Algeria and I understand this .Great job!

its a fair price for a computer that has been used as a football 👍

Great fix , Sorin

The price is the most stuck issue in the walet of a customer, when it comes to repair electronics and negociate, because all what you do is just predict an less amount to get the deal and job done good job Sorin and i like the video ';D

That customer was surely fighting with laptop or something, he was using it as bulletproof vest for sure!

I repaired hearing aids for over 20 years and there were many that were old and in bad shape, so you do the best you can for the value of it. I understand this repair job.

Great Video Mr Sorin. I'm watching you from my daily driver 2014 laptop whose hinges are held in a hot glue sandwich. Like new :)

Clean & perfect job👍👍

Thank You for this movie . Great job again

BRAVO "BOSS" merci pour vos vidéos ;)

Hey Sorin, you have forgot to check the second MosFet. Replacing the second MosFet that was broken here would have been no more work and hardly any more cost.

Having a repair shop,I know first hand about getto style repairs,old laptops and customers who don't want to overspend.I always explain that I ll do patches and not component replacements,and if they agree I proceed.

i totally understand u sorin, great job

Sorin, great man! Another functional repair! that's what it's count! At end of the day, it's nice to breathe! Dodgy or not, it's funcyional? If yes, they should be fine!

😂😂😂😂 2nd Mosfet is dead (Shorted) , not the charging IC 😂😂😂😂 2nd mosfet gate is shorted to 19V and the charging (BQ) chip wont open the mosfet, 1st and 2nd mosfet gate is connected together so if one of them are shorted it would not open the mosfets, so it needs the first two mosfets to charge the battery 😂😂😂😂 These are n channel mosfets, needs higher voltage then the input to open the mosfets

great work ethics, thanks.

Sorry master,you can trace the signal where it is come from. May be it is a simple open circuit like an open resistor. By the way,you still the best teacher I follow. Greetings for Burundi.

Hello Sorin nice to see you again 😀 I have the proposition to movie: how to remove black glue from BGA chip in phone motherboard.

Hello from Cluj, Romania ❤

Dayum! This guy is really good.

You are a master good work thanks for this video

I do it all the time.. I learn the hot glue trick from you. If the customer come back its you fault Sorin!😂

Awesome video, thank you Master.

Bravo Mr sorin good job its brave🔝🔝

Îmi pare rău Sorin, ai cam rămas in urmă cu ce se întâmplă în România și in București cel puțin un laptop ca ăla ajunge cel mult piese de schimb dacă nu direct la reciclare, nu mai repară nimeni așa ceva! Ar trebui să vii mai des acasă, lucrurile s-au schimbat mult....

I've learned a lot from your videos and still do, but if I short the first Mosfet's gate to 19V, is it right to do?? Thanks Sorin

A little while ago i was watching one of your clever videos when you said you had created a fault on a Lenovo ideapad 100s feeding it with too high voltage. I have done the same. I looked to see if you produced a repair video but couldn't find one, so did you or should i bin the computer given its age and limited capacity.

reversing the direction of Mosfet to have 19v in the gate and then opening the Mosfet, No one can do that except Sorin ... WOW

Hey, you've got a new workbench

Great video....I have a question 🤔 when you did spin the mosfet around..u short the gate pin with 19v which means that u sent a 19v to power ic responsible for switching the mosfet and this could be the reason for not charging? Is that correct?

Great Post.

Good job sir.

Almost always the left hinge on HP correct? On this type of job, I skip repair and go straight to "data recovery" mode. I save the files and dispose of the toxic waste for customer. I make some money, customer gets their files and can buy another device. All win. Good trick with the hot glue and loosen the hinge. I give it a try next time. I usually drill through case and send a bolt/washer/nut all the way through case. Ugly yes, but holds. I'm happy you fixed it for them.

When you see a screen and wifi card connectors sideways it mean the manufacturer had no idea of what it was doing.

You had the two hinge holders inside the screen protector. Put them back on and heat the plastic so it bonds together, reinforce with epoxy around the holders, screw the hingle back in. Like new. No need for the hot glue.

haters will always hate sorin fabulous repair bro well done the guy should be so pleased with that laptop repair :)

Good Job Sorin am a big fan

Great job Sorin. A silk purse from a sows ear.

Grandma must of gave it to him and it is priceless now.

Seems like you'd have super glue remover on hand, test it on a part of the plastic and soak the port in that. Then epoxy the hinge and the port into place with minimal application. Almost the same amount of work/time but doesn't seem that glue will hold the hinge. Maybe customers appreciate the economy version costs but others might want an option to have it done right.

Thanks for sharing the reality of working on this Sorin. That kind of job is a "meat & potatoes" work. So many jobs are like this or worse, I completely understand why you wouldn't want to spend a single minute more than needed for it. and Yeah, Gloves! ~v~

Don't get many hinge repair vids in 2024, that's why I'm watching this.

Thanks the cheaper jobs are also educational,great work

you should have 3,3 v on the battery bins on motherboard when the battery out ,if you have not, then you have frequently a problem with charging circuit

This repair was a mess to begin with, I would have wrote most of that off, tricky repair but brilliant, well done

I bought a new 1920 X 1080 screen for my 12 year old 16" Acer a year ago on ebay. I payed $19.95 for it with free shipping. It still works great. I got a great price only because there are so few like my Aspire 6920 that are configured for full HD and the seller wanted to get rid of about 50 of them.

I would never agree to repair a laptop like this. I warn my clients that for a computer contaminated with chocolate and Coca-Cola and not cleaned for years - I take double. It's like going to the doctor without bathing for a few months. Please refuse such repairs.

Great job!

I don't think you need to apologize for such a job, you did everything possible for such a job for that money, it can normally be done better, but it takes parts that cost money and it takes more time, and it costs, in the end a job well done

First, I like and comment, then watch the video, every video is pure gold 🦾🦾🦾

Some people want you to take chicken poop and turn it into chicken soup and make it taste and smell good too. That's what this job is. Somehow you managed once again to work a miracle on a scrapper and made it at least functional. Saved the customer data recovery, and an immediate purchase of a new laptop too.

These repairs are absolutely brilliant / very honest and upfront and helping out people that don't have much money / love it / great work

most people don't understand, that hinges with integrated stopper (that have a proper amount of conterpressure), like laptop hinges HAVE TO BE MOVED SLOWLY.... seeing so many moving the screens so fast, that hinges cannot live long... but some laptops have also a poor quality....so the chance to break the hinges are double...

Nice job again Sorin ;-)
