I see at some point capacitors will accuse Sorin of racisim and prejudice, that was a very funny statement Sorin "what do you mean replace the capacitor" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kalma-cn]

i always do say hello to my little friend 🤣

[@CaribbeanParadise-cn3sy]

At last a Nitro 5 fixed..lol.. Nice one. As usual great process diagnosing fault.

[@waseem4231]

Great Videos. Although im not a technician i find these kind of videos very intersting. especially the way you go through troubleshooting the issues. Keep it up Boss!!

[@davidorris638]

Sorin, still the best, learned alot, God bless ❤

[@kiwanukagerald7274]

this kind of fault banged my head once,actually there is a driver chip that drives the vrms for the CPU and that chip is powered by 5v,if that voltage is missing the laptop behaves like a dead log.in my case that chip was RT3602AE and it was missing 5V because the 5v power supply chip was faulty

[@sipansibabdreddknot5179]

thansk for the headsup info

[@Dohcom1]

Good job, nice tutorial!

[@user.fedorman]

No capacitor, No shorted capacitor, the real Sorin is back, there was another video with a fake Sorin who replaced a capacitor on a Macbook 😂

[@keremalp4272]

cool video. good information flow

[@tlough1]

Great repair.

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👏

[@pihmusik]

Super robota kolego Sorin!!!

[@paschalokeke3216]

Nice repair....experience counts on an electrical device repairs....bootable to legacy has to be done throught the bios setup...

[@chumatez]

Nice one

[@postfiresaw]

sorin the best!!!

[@TheComputerField]

Laptop companies now adding 4 extra capacitors because they know Sorin will eventually make one disappear.

[@user-we2vb4vs2g]

18:45 I think the SSD is fine, the Laptop supposed to boot in Legacy Boot Mode instead of UEFI Mode. The customer tried the Bios options thinking at first it was a Software issue I would say.

[@toolsarecool]

How would the customer have gotten into the BIOS if the laptop didn’t turn on…? 🤔

[@user-we2vb4vs2g]

@@toolsarecool Yes, you're right according only to what we saw, not to what caused an output capacitor to ruin everything.. Surely the boot BIOS options wasn't modified randomly by itself. Mr. Sorin said that he's assuming that the customer wiped the drive. Was that when the Laptop was off!? As he never experienced a shorted output capacitor neither. The software always controls the hardware. There was a wrong process before it turned off. But I could be wrong, it was just a guess as I said. Nothing worth to argue and play the expert about.

As always enjoy your video content just curious we're both did you get your thermal camera thanks in advance and everyone have a great weekend what's left of it...

this that a 5v always rail/5v ldo or standby?

Can you tell me what equipments and other tools you use?Thank you!

It is standby voltage 5V like on a desktop power supply 😮

Hello, I don't find any usb charging connector socket for honor magicbook 14 in India, I only found samsung 18 pin connector for mobile.. Will it fit for replacement?

[@CaribbeanParadise-cn3sy]

[@dontrotter1099]

wow a first! thanks Sorin

[@aliemlek]

👍👍👌👌

[@hansregli8678]

Sorin, not replacing the capacitor is really bad. Because at this location it is needed for stabilizing the output voltage. The designer calculated the total capacity needed when he designed the board. Now the remaining capacitors have to bear more of the spikes and declines in power as planned. Not good. 😢

[@Fox-X.75]

Hello, what type of thermal camera do you have?

[@CaribbeanParadise-cn3sy]

Sorin made a video of all his tools and mentions camera.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maawo6ljgNl6gZo

[@somewaresim]

Some laptops require the battery to be connected to work don’t they?

[@maklogetrich2378]

yes, some do

[@rasclew3937]

Sir how do i get in touch with you? I have a17.3 HP Omen, my favorite machine, that has went on the blink. Turned it off one evening, next morning I got a power ;ight for about 5 seconds, and nothing else. No tech around here that do what you do.

[@gonedoneggonedoneg9863]

No sundy coffee ???-WHY??

[@JustInspiredKent]

Nice fix Sorin! Should the fans not stop when you close the lid though?

[@ProGaming-bm6ff]

If it goes to sleep mode after closing the lid fan should stop but if laptop is not going to sleep mode the fans will still spin you can change this in control panel

[@JustInspiredKent]

@@ProGaming-bm6ff Thanks!

[@nerodante1980]

Hey Sorin, are u watching your team in the Euros?

[@yeabzerdemesie8769]

On most of your videos you takeoff a component and the computer works. My question is that is it ok not to replace that component or is it a must to replace the component??

[@Bogdan.Benett]

Cafeaua?

[@rivciks5045]

I don't understand, if the laptop is able in function without that capacitor, why was he there in the first place?

[@alfiereazzurro4956]

Hi, what could be causing the PC to restart, i.e. it suddenly turns off and then turns back on again. He does it every now and then.

[@CaribbeanParadise-cn3sy]

At what point do you refer to. Disconnecting battery resets laptop so it does its stuff, Dell restarts 3 / 4 times.

[@techtronics7]

Monitor temps to see if it is an overheating issue. Also could be a software issue, bad driver issue or hardware bad memory or hard drive.

[@alfiereazzurro4956]

@@techtronics7 I changed the power supply but after a while it started doing it again. I dusted everything and it doesn't seem to do it anymore

[@user-di5nw1ul9v]

Based on your experience would you conclude that acer nitro laptops are more likely to fail than gaming laptops of Asus? Planning to buy a gaming laptop so...

[@Luis-co5lj]

Hi, I sow almost all your videos I learned a lot of each one of them, I want to ask you how to resolve Kernal-power issues?, I already tested almost steps that are indicated in some web page to resolve that problem, the only is the power because the laptop turn on without problems, the problem occur when the computer has many prosses working at same time, the temperature on the processor increase until it shutdown (protect itself). can you give me some ideas to help me to resolve de issue? please, I appreciate your help so much

[@KhairilHamid-mt8qv]

Same with me..

[@Timpano_Francesco_Repairs]

Ho Sorin, good job never see this capacitor blow... Can i Ask a Little suggestion?, i have the model before your termal camera TTI, surely it's a Little less Revolution respect your but i don't succede in a good calibration... can u suggest me your parameter..transparency, colore temperature and range.. ecc any help Will be gratiful, monday i'll send you the exact model...thanks for sharing your experience...what you think about paul daniel se Flexbv? U use them or other? bye Francesco Timpano from Florence Italy

[@CaribbeanParadise-cn3sy]

FlexBV is a great piece of software. There is a free and paid version. The paid version lets you search all your schematics looking for a part on another board so if you have donor boards its an easy search same if you want pin out of an IC but do not have schematic for your board.

[@Timpano_Francesco_Repairs]

@@CaribbeanParadise-cn3sy thank Caribbean that the confir i wont..

[@retrocomputinggrotto]

Another one?! - It's not a MacBook so no capacitor replacement here! No Capacitor, No Shorted Capacitor! #WeHavePicture

[@heraclito226]

Qual modelo da câmera infravermelho?

[@Swenser]

Sorin, I have previously asked you to advocate for the release of Julian Assange by Englands Tyrannical government that blindly follows the US military orders. I want to let you know that the matter is heading to a close and Julian is being allowed to be free after pleading guilty to exposing US military atrocities. Your next repair will be much more enjoyable to watch by myself because of this great news. I hope you can share this great news about humanity with all your viewers.

[@menotyou8369]

There are plenty political channels you can spam, why don't you go bother one of them?

[@Swenser]

@@menotyou8369 because some things are of utmost importance. If you were going to be locked up I'm sure you wouldn't mind some advocacy. Don't be so selfish. Everyone , everywhere should support the protection of our freedoms that you seem to take for granted.

[@TheResoluteHawk]

Capacitors have been coming back to bite you in the ass recently. Probably should replace them.

[@Wesmancan]

Are those even worth a repair. You must work cheap.

[@mdsadi9316]

World's most unreliable laptop acer nitro 5 series
