I am a HUGE proponent of electric screwdrivers of any type. Whenever it is possible I use power tools for screw removal. I spend aprox 30 years swinging and a hammer and my wrist/elbow/shoulder joints are pretty much filled with gelatin that used to resemble cartilage. Save your body from repetitive motion injuries ANY time that you can.

18:02 look closely between the power plug and the keyboard plugin(I think-big white plastic connector). The is an arch of separation between the edge of the board and inner of board. That is the hidden trace to the ceramic capacitor. The trace goes under the keyboard connector.

When I was working for HP as a field engineer, I worked primarily on laptops because I was the only person in the area that could fully disassemble a laptop, replace the board, and put it back together in 30 to 45 minutes depending on the model. I sure as hell didn't do it with a manual screw driver. When it's your profession, it's a necessity for various reasons.

I can see a via, not sure, below 1st inrush limiter (a mosfet) and left side of the cap 12:45, through which the dc jack voltage is connected to the shorted cap removed. As adamant said it might be as a supply to control the 1st mosfet there or something else there.

Yea, while I was reviewing the video, I did spot a Via below the mosfet I removed and near the cap under it - that's probably how power was getting over to the other area. I still think the faulty area was managing the input mosfet. But yea, weird layout, they kinda just crammed the DC stuff all around where they also wanted to put CPU and CPU vcore. Weird board.

I have also the same laptop like in this video. This is my first time using the multimeter. I did the same like you did measuring the DC jack with the power on and by me is measuring from the DC jack cable 19.72 so it's a little bit less. I dont know if that's the problem. Also you measures the non ground pin from where the DC jack is connected to the motherboard, I also measured that but it's not beeping to me. I also followed another video from you and you did a different measuring method measuring with continuity mode the coile power supplies to the motherboard which you got bad results of low ohmns. I tried also measuring the coile and multimeter is giving me different numbers from m ohmns to k ohmns and go back to m ohmns again and down to k ohmns and so on what does that mean? I also tried to measure with continuity mode again the capacitors around the motherboard but its not giving me any beep sound to non ground. But there where little capacitors not giving me any beep sound to both sides. I dont know if it normal to some of capacitors. Do I something wrong? What could be the issue here and how can I fix it?

@Adamant_IT
@Adamant_IT 4 жыл бұрын
These days I start at 1v 3amps limit. While in a dead-short, the volts should stay close to 0 indicated. In this case there was still some resistance, so I had to push up to 2v limit, which then got me up to 1.6v indicated, limiting at 3amps. Since we're current-limiting, the voltage never really goes very high. But it's best to keep as low as you can, in case the short isn't where you think it is and you accidently bang 5+ volts into a line where you shouldn't.

The wire is regular leaded flux-core solder. I know which terminals are positive and negative by observing the wires from the DC jack, red for positive, black for negative. You can also figure it out just be measuring and observing - if I find -19.5v, then I've got the positive and negative the wrong way around.

No it's not absolute that capacitors of the same size are the same value but you are 100% correct in guessing that it is highly likely. If you can count one 1 thing it's a manufacturer's desire to make money. Making a bunch of any item the same exact part saves money off the BOM.

@Adamant_IT
@Adamant_IT 4 жыл бұрын
I don't think an IR thermometer has the accuracy needed. Injection works by getting a single component to run hot enough that it can't dissipate the heat, so the board around it will usually be lukewarm at best. The IR thermometer I have is only good to the nearest inch or two, which doesn't really help find an 0803 capacitor. Thermal Camera makes this a lot easier, but I'm still pained to spend £300+ on something that my fingers can also accomplish. I'm thinking of picking up a second hand CAT Phone with the built-in thermal cam as a poor man's option.

Oh Graham, it is a _reverse, zener, one way, rectifier, electronic doodad thingy diode_ . Good heavens man, get with the program. 😀 Don't let the critical bastards get you down. 😎 Remember, those who can *do* and those who can't _watch KZbin videos and as a result are experts_ . An expert of course is a person who can't spurt anymore hence the ex part. 🤭 Let those prats try and produce videos and see how they would go and we both know they couldn't do it. Like your work and please keep it up. *Thank You* , from a grateful subscriber!

Basic power faults like this I charge £80, which lines up with the kind of prices you see advertised from other repair shops on ebay and the like. If it were a more complex repair, or needed more expensive replacement parts I'd charge more. But I don't personally feel that my skill-level is up there yet.

I'm subbed to him, but I haven't had time to watch any content yet. Most of my knowledge is based from a six-month binge of Louis Rossman content 3 or 4 years ago. I want to get back into watching other people on the board repair scene, but it's waiting for more free time.

​@@Adamant_IT Thanks for the reply. I understand about lack of free time. Priorities and all that. You need to keep working and so on, that all comes first, especially in these times. I find Rossman a little bit (I'll put this kindly as I don't mean to be critical), "less careful" over his soldering than I personally prefer to be. I suppose it's a personal technique thing is all? Rossman certainly does 'let rip' at Apple with good cause too, but many other makers are going down that same path (for shame). These days, I tend to avoid surface mount/micro component board level repairs, as at my age (65), my eyes are not the best now so I often need massive amounts of light and magnification to get it clear enough to work on. YUK.

@@brianjrichman Louis has an issue with shaky hands which may be why his soldering (or soddering in 'Murican) may look a tad rough. I empathise totally re your vision. Mine used to be really good but now it is crap and I am unable to do any sort of soldering except to whack to wires together and even that is a struggle. A good microscope would allow you to do surface mount work but they isn't cheap. Although a dozen or so jobs would make getting one worthwhile. Just a non professional's thought.

@@josephking6515 Don't know about Luis' "shakes". Oh well. Was just my observation is all. As for pronunciations, I am originally a Brit and pronounce the "L" in the word.

I have seen several of your videos -but certainly not all- is there any video explaining what may happen to people if they inhale soldering fumes? Do you have any bad experience, have you ever experienced any kind of injury in the work you are doing? Do you need safety glasses for soldering? Is there any way solder may start to explode like when you throw water on fried oil? If you don't have any such a video already, I will be extremelly interested hearing from a professional addressing health and safety issues. People in UK take health and safety in workplace seriously. I remember you mention a lot about lithium ion batteries and that they should not be overcharged nailed pinched etc. But I do not remember anything on soldering.
