Another great episode of my favorite TV show. 😁👍 That ugly cap has been bugging me ever since 1:57 😠🔥

@NorthridgeFix 3 жыл бұрын

Yes you're right. That cap looks bad but it's testing good. I ended up changing the Mosfets again this morning along with that bad looking cap. Short was gone like before. I powered on the device and Mosfets went bad again. Laptop is going back to the customer unfixed unfortunately. .

I think your skills are spot on, to the point, and well equipped to get it done the best way possible. If you say it's a no fix, after learning what all you go through here, I more than respect that.
