I've been in the HVAC&R service business for over 40 years. Modifications & work-around's are an everyday requirement to "get it working". I am surprised that its no different with micro electronics. Your video's and troubleshoot methodology have inspired me to start a new hobby. I've set up a small electronics test bench and started servicing my own old discarded computers and phones. Don't let others tell you that your methods are dodgy or sloppy. Your doing real-world repairs on used equipment "your not Factory reconditioning service!". God bless you for providing real training and inspiring others.

I told you Sorin was a true gentleman! He is patiently waiting for the customer to return so he can give him back his wallet. Sorin is from the old country where men are fair and honest. I admire him for the great man he is.

[@Igot2fly1]

Yes you are a gentleman, I found a LARGE amount of money also one day at a store and I turned it in to the manager. They probably thought I was crazy. Maybe BUT I had my 10 year old son with me and needed to show him YES there are HONEST people in this world. I dont need their money I have my own. THSANK you Sorin for being HONEST. It shows.

[@someoneinthesky9784]

almost in any repair video I watched in this channel, everytime Sorin fixed it, I went, "How is this possible.. " truly amazed by his skill, I really want to start learning about electronics so I can fix more stuff.

[@andrijanastipina3308]

So nice. You found my wallet! I see that you are an honest and worthy man and you like to help others. You can keep money or spend it on helping young students learn electronic. I wish you all the best!

[@devonwilson5776]

Greetings. Thanks for such a wonderful gesture. Amazing. I am absolutely sure that Sorin will indeed utilize the money to the benefit of those he is helping to learn electronics. May the Lord continuously bless you in all aspects of your life.

[@ISMAIL-dl3gw]

You are My teacher thank you a lot from my heart and follow doing like this videos you are the best ❤

[@vvv2k12]

how is he getting a reading of 50mA by touching the ground with power supply and touching the positive with a probe? dont you need to touch two points using probe to get a reading?

[@zenonthez-132]

@@vvv2k12 I think both are power supply. He set the volts at 19V and when he touches the ground to ground and positive to the circuit, the motherboard draws 50mA (showed in his power supply screen) which he said "a lot" when it should be like around 10mA.

[@princerajahuntermatutu5043]

Sorin....my online lecturer and better than my offline lecturer.i wish to be like u sir....Zambia

[@vitu7893]

I learn a lot from the way you fix a not working laptob motherboard. Thank you for sharing. God Bless. A fans from North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

[@MrNcimino]

Thank you so much. I have learned a los with your videos. Do not read all those mean comments. Thank you very much!

[@mnyama8]

sorin, you arosed me from dead, i mean i am good in electronics theories than practical, so you jus gave me a driving force, i am expecting to buy all important repairing tools, the same as you are having on your table, thanks great man, I am from tanzania, africa...

[@bardos]

i was wondering if you forgot to put in the lone motherboard screw. i am constantly repairing and refurbishing Acer laptops,,, not microsoldering, I am no wizard, just repairing in other ways so I know these boards well. I am learning to go a few steps beyond this by watching your videos. really appreciate what you do. Much love.

[@v1ncend]

I learned to repair motherboards, and I have been successful in these repairs! I was already passionate about electronics and I was only repairing ATX power supplies, I thought that repairing the motherboard was complicated but thanks to your explanations I am only improving. A huge thank you, I am active on the discord as well ;)

[@vvv2k12]

[@wefukthenwo]

Some repair shops charge after the repair, so I think your customers are very lucky. Besides, what choice have they got but to go elsewhere or buy a new laptop. You are a fair man and your customers will soon realize this, they will come back again and no doubt recommend you to others. All in all, you win some, you lose some. Your time and knowledge is money, you need to pay your staff and the overheads. Do really want to reward the miserly in this world by leaving yourself short? Make'em pay up!

[@khalkhal2372]

Thank you. This is my laptop. Effectively i have hinges issue that I succeeded to fix with hot glue as I learned from you. Hope you will get better soon

[@hightttech]

Yes Sorin, it is easy to sleep with a clear continuous, and not struggling to remember lies.

[@devonwilson5776]

Greetings. Thank you teacher for always sharing your knowledge. Be blessed.

[@trisv1974]

the somoke at the end of the video over the laptop was epic!!!! Thumbs up from me

[@williamlogan4049]

After following you, almost since you started I have this to say to you,you are a Honarble man honest to a God and Mankind, what else to say? .Thank you Sorin

[@Radek__]

8:30 that's true. I 100% agree. I'm thinking in the same way as you.

[@tikky34]

Thank you Sorin. We learn, Thanks to you ..

[@zyxnull]

@@vvv2k12 both wires, the black one connected to ground and the red one with a probe are connected to the power supply and not to a volt meter, when power is drawn from the power supply it displays how many amps are being consumed and that's the 50mA you see on the reading. Later on when he tracks the troubling cap you can see thee current spike well beyond 1A

[@justinspiredfallout]

Thank you Senpai Sorin! I think you should remind people about your Discord link in the description when you end your videos with the 'Like and Subscribe' bit. So many people asking for tech help in the comments of your videos. I have gotten a lot of help from some very nice people there and I highly recommend joining.

[@kencatorce4743]

Thanks for the video now i know how i feed my family i learn a lot from you. What i need now is soldering station which i dont have. Thanks and always uplaod videos on ur future work. More strenght and more blessing to come on you.

[@sergelavallee913]

You are the best. Who cares about the people say. Just keep doing your wonderfull job. And also i always enjoy looking at your videos. You are the best teacher and technician. Thank you for the wonderfull gift you give us. Also this summer i'm going in UK and i'll try to meet you if you don't mind. i'm 61 and i have work in electronic all my life. Thank's again Sorin.

[@colingaunt7308]

I respect you. You were worried that the customer had not been quoted correctly but was your customer was honest with you. Did they report that fluid had been spilt into the laptop?

[@Radek__]

11:44 -It is nice to see that kind of honest people in these days.

[@juanchizabaleta2405]

Good job Master, your health is better. Thanks for the advice and greetings from Argentina,

[@danielnight5717]

Many computer servis say: buy a new motherboard because if you want repair motherboard you pay more. Very good video thanks

[@juanshaftpatel7488]

[@nealefrancis3995]

Great Vid Sorin - love the addition of smoke effects - :-)

[@agutek]

I buy joblots of laptops and maybe 1 in 15 is easy like this one with a shorted cap, massive difference between a repair shop and trying to repair laptops that other people already tried to repair and have all sorts of weird problems... Thank you for your work, I could say 80% of what I know it's from you :)

[@aaronrepairs9516]

where are you from and where do you buy these laptops?

[@dolfink2799]

Hi my friend (please allow me to call you like this) a Quick question :how do you know that the mosfets is on 19v Power rail and not in 5v i.e? Also you remove a cap how you are sure that mb will functional for a long period? Very good and fast repair in my opinion

[@constantinionescu2756]

very good tutorial Sorine. invat mult dela tine .Thankyou

[@nooruddinpanjwani8573]

Sir, I watch your educative videos. You are very good and inteligent teacher. I have a question, when pouring petrol over the suspected area of motherboard while applying 19 volts, why it does not create further short circuit? In other words why it does not damage the part of that circuit where petrol is poured? What is the logic? Is petrol works as an insulator? Please explain in details. Thanks.

[@Pr0_X.29]

You re the best Sorin! By the way I have charging problem with Dell D630. I replaced charger and battery but the result is same, and also I replaced the charging IC. Advice? Thanks!

[@windycl111]

sounds like u r feeling better. Can't wait for your videos

[@jelenicedward4881]

I love your Videos...Master Repair..😀

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Sorin ya'll are OK. Zer goot mien Herr. Can you picture the tourista 20 years gone by. He shows up, as he is leaving you see his name. You stop him and say, "I've got something for you. You go to your desk and return with his wallet. He bursts into tears.

[@laboratorioassembler]

I'm doing the same with my customers... now i've started to call customers on real time (or using whatsapp with photos) to give update infos... and wait for decisions (if the work is something complicated... difficult to diagnose)

[@benjamintaylor1011]

Good job....am learning so much

[@Swenser]

Hey Sorin can you do a video and go through the junked motherboards you could NOT fix and explain a little. I like the tough jobs even if not fixed. Keep happy:)

[@pinakbhattacharjee7475]

Hi Sorin....nice to see u doing jobs in a very easy way....take some rest...bye

I see you landing a great Job at one of these bluechip corporates, hope you will still make videos from there...

[@uchesoncomputerconcept2856]

An awesome video indeed, Pls how can a get a power supply or may be construct mine

[@theethicalh3707]

hello siir i'm always following you thaaanks before watching

[@tyronearendse1722]

In the beginning of the video the fact that you didn't get a reading on the charging port with diode mode, is that an indication of a short being present? And how would you know if a component is open?

[@Mustafay3sil]

ı wish ı could work with you great master. You are a precious man.

[@ammunir6]

thank you for this explanation it is very very useful for me and i trust you teacher .

[@smithkennykenny5070]

Good day sir ,am happy I discovered your channel it has been very helpful thanks. Could you do a video on how to read with a multimeter for beginners please sir

[@christosmoutevelis4896]

[@abdullajar8306]

I learned a lot from you Thank you very much

[@ziggy_makes_videos]

Nice troubleshooting master

[@luisvilleza2687]

Mr Sorin Is it a good thing to have a infrared thermal scanner that show which component is getting hot ?

[@MeFixingEverything]

:D I was just typing the comment to tell them every time that this is a motherboard problem. You are reading minds now.

[@Electricworld-1]

Very good thanks, keep up the good work, all the best.

[@simonishvilikaxaber8817]

watching this video from the same Acer 5736Z laptop ❤

[@johnboscomoll2541]

What type of power supply u should get for repairs of laptop

[@AlexElectronica]

Good afternoon from Spain. I have a doubt: How do you know that it will not explode, the damaged component when applying voltage with the power supply, in the carbon resistors? As happened the other time in one of his videos. Many thanks for sharing with the world and for my part, since you learn a lot by seeing them. And finally, I apologize for my poor level of English. Have a good holiday and well deserved

[@msaberi865]

job done very nice and i learned alot

[@electronic7979]

Useful video 👍

[@zaidhussain5206]

Thank you so much for sharing this video, really very informative , please keep the good work

[@mdrstatistics]

I'm facing 3 (or 4 issues) with my acer aspire E1-572G Recently i spilled water on my laptop, i cleaned it all. It was working fine till i shut it down. 1. Issue: power is on, yet no display. (sometimes it lasts longer but then shuts down.) 2. Doesn't power on, even if i press the power on key. 3. Key A and Caps lock doesn't work. 4. Won't charge. (Not sure about this one.)

[@flrazvan]

Salut Sorin, In Buciulesti nu am primit niciodata un estimate la momentul predarii produsului. Never!! Si tot timpul imi par cam umflate preturile. De ex: pt o simpla reparatie a unei placi de baza pt o tastatura ( mai scumpa) m-au charguit 150 de ron... mi se pare enorm pt RO.

[@ramonvaldez4836]

Thanks Sorin

[@zx8401ztv]

When you showed the short appearing on every power mosfet, i did think a common smd capacitor could be the problem. But I did expect you to find something else instead. I watch quite a few repairers and smd capacitors are a pain in the arse. I don't think you are dishonest sorin, ignore the negative people.

[@DumahBrazorf]

He moved so fast from one mosfet to another he made me cringe. One touch on the wrong side of one mosfet and he could had blow up that rail. Like someone with his open hand on the table stabbing fast with a knife between his fingers.

[@zx8401ztv]

Dumah Brazorf Yes i know what you mean, there is always a risk when moving too fast. I watch louis rossmann and jessa jones plus others, they all find a lot of shorted capacitors. I really don't like the layer smd crap-acitors lol.

[@Sang123-19]

You are very handsome for all your electronics teaching method... I love it

[@mauricelopez1745]

Just here sitting patiently for another video.

Awesome...Yes Customer relations very important...wow that laptop been at bottom of a lake...lol

[@demionlindsayable]

sorin is my master...

[@a.wagner9479]

LoL... " you're quite rude, extracting the caps like a tooth" kkkk

[@senpairy1868]

Hi sir I'am new here in your channel I just want to know what is that liquid you've dropped in the motherboard the blackone

[@Gadthaiparts]

Is it possible to locate the shorted without power supply? But using a power meter only?

[@NizarGARA]

Nice job, I learnt alot from you. I wana ask you something about my laptop, few days ago I accidently dropped beer on the keyboard. Since then my laptop doesn't detect the graphic card. A calssic reflow with a hot air can be a solution? (it's using only the integrated intel graphic)

[@diyroby732]

ahhhh water/liquid damage. The most scary thing that could ever happen to a laptop and the reason why so many great machines are thrown out is a piece of cake for Mr. Sorin :) Without any electronics knowledge, I bet anyone could fix 80% of motherboards only by removing capacitors one by one and testing. Thank you for todays lesson.

[@conty6575]

By not replacing that dead capacitor and only swipe it out, doesent that put extra presure on others capacitors?

[@cokhongkhiep9519]

when applied DC volatge to find some where hot, how much voltage and amp should be set. My case the samsung laptop can charging but when try too start, it flashing led light 4 times and reset the cycles until cut off power. Do you think it is short somewhere ?

[@PbaY.]

another lessons...tq sorin

[@paulgeorgiancaliap9828]

Hello Mister... Can you fix a TV led or lcd... Thank you verry much and have a nice day...
