My apologies again Alex! I will place online order for pick up next time. I really appreciate you taking the time to pull my order with no notice and also for taking the time to share more soldering tips n tricks while i was there. Congratulations on the new place and thank you for what you do!

@a13Banger Жыл бұрын

Amazing video, so fast! I am quite new to soldering but just moved into using a rework station and I gotta tell you.. seeing that "shift" happen when something reflows into position is a magical feeling. I can't get enough of this :) Can't wait for the next video!!!!!!!

I purchased that same model laptop that ended up having that same issue. I went back and forth with HP for several months and they tried to fix it under warranty but could not. It was the most frustrating experience ever. I eventually got a refund and moved on. Here you fix it in less than 10 minutes. Amazing!

The difference between professional and amateur outlook is really interesting. I'm sure I'd spend hours trying to isolate and understand the fault which is fine if your goal is knowledge and experience. If your goal is putting food on the table, time is money so judiciously firing the parts cannon (replacing the USB controllers on an educated hunch) is the way you keep yourself afloat and go home at 6pm instead of midnight. The diagnosis process is fascinating, especially when you consider time and effort have a cost. I love the technical process, but that's not all there is to the problem. This is a great illustration of professional intuition.

@13th_Shots Жыл бұрын

The problem is just HP's quality, spectres that will not power on anymore - we replace mainboard, victus no power - sometimes fix is dead simple - ATX reset and the unit comes back to life, x360 models - touchpad stop working - momentarily no fix for it. Trust me, we are direct repair partner for HP, there some serious issues with their products.

Another great job, Alex.. On another note, I went and got my wife the 2023 Baja Storm Rock Creek Pathfinder for her new family vehicle. She has been looking at it for a few months, and since her birthday is in a few days, I decided it was time to let her drive away in the vehicle she absolutely loves. Can you send the video link of the one where you also went to the dealership purchasing yours, if not, no big deal.

Great video! I have a question, if you don't mind. Can smoke damage digital microscope lenses, or do I just need to clean the lens, and it will be find? So is it permanent damage? Thank you!

@GregM Жыл бұрын

Some people use a Barlow lense on the microscope it expands the working distance of the microscope but decreases the magnifcation slightly. At the same time protects the objective lens aka the one closest to the work area. There are other screw on lenses that can be use to protect the objective lens but they can affect the field of view to a degree.

@@GregM Thank you! I don't have protection for the lenses. But dust will not destroy the lenses, right? You just need to clean it, and it will be good?

When you said USB C chips will fail that made me think of the EU mandating that all phones have to use the same charger (even Apple) in the future and I would guess that will be USB C. I think we better stock up on those chips. =)

Just curious how much you would charge to do this. Anyone around where I live including myself would want at least a couple hundred bucks for such a repair, and the laptop isn't worth that. I have not developed this skill and no one else in my area has, because of such reasons.

@jokers7890 Жыл бұрын

thats what it comes down to...'worth that'.....well it is 'worth that' for some if it has very valuable data or sentimental value....there are many variables as to why someone will spend alot of money on a repair.......they might just be wealthy or they might live in a certain area or it might have been a present or they just want to repair it for fun like a hobby.....the reasons really do not matter......someone could charge $1k to repair a 10 dollar calculator and someone will always pay it

It's not what the laptop is worth, it's what your replacement amount will be. You're not getting a new laptop for 200 bucks.
