Another easy Fix. Motherboard Short circuit repair - HP Spectre X360 13-002dx No power

[@stefanlechner]

Nice and quick. Thats the way it should go. Maybe we all should call it a quick fix, you can call it an easy fix, because you have many many years of experience and the right tools. Thank you for the video

[@VictorRamirez214]

i love the little chuckle when you figure out the problem, not sure if you're surprised or just happy you fixed it, but it gets my every time. Love this channel

[@onuroskay8613]

Good morning from Turkiye. Thanks Alex for the video

[@JaveChen]

4minutes for you Takes a day for most of us, including the disassembly and assembly parts that took a lot of time nowadays Great job as always

[@ivanfreely6366]

The time he mentioned was strictly the 1-volt testing and capacitor replacement.

[@robertpage2023]

I have a group of trained monkeys doing my disassembly and assembly. They work for bananas. Of course if I work them too hard, they throw there POO at me.

Even us viewers should pay you for the knowledge shared! hope a big Thanks will do!

Hello from Romania Transylvania :)

[@simonpleijers6670]

Can we design electronic devices that do not fail on 1 bad capacitor that cost near nothing ? Alex keep up the good work. Your work extends device lifetime, preventing a lot of electronic waste, natural resource usage and emission reduction. You are more a world saver than you think. Easy fix or not this helps!

[@robertpage2023]

It's been my understanding that the mass manufacturing of electronic components are tested and only the best ones are kept back for sale to Military and space uses. The rest, well, all the game and computer and phones get them for public use. As in anything manufactured, there is a 'half life" to its span on earth. Even US..............Just depends upon how well God made YOU.

[@robertpage2023]

@@MattyEngland Yes, you are right but until the manufactured component is tested, you don't know what you've got. Like eggs a chicken lays, Until they come out of the chicken and you "candle" them, you don't know what you've got. "Buk, Buk, Bakcak!"

[@thepeoplesnews1328]

Sir, I really enjoy your channel and shared knowledge. Thank you. I think there was a diode or zener diode that looked a little damaged maybe melted, it was to the right of the mosfet. Once again thank you for your knowledge and experience.

Excellent job sir! Im a big fan of yours. Because of your videos I learned to fix my broken gadgets. And now I even have my own repair shop at my house. Tho its very hard to obtain new tools, but all worth it. My next target is to have a thermal cam, really comes in handy. But still cannot afford it. Lol Keep inspiring us Sir! Godbless

[@pablonunez194]

nice job like always. an "EASY" job because of your experience. I already at last I can get mi flir one thermal camera. I'm so happy about it. Thanks for teaching your knowledge.

[@robertpage2023]

You know, you can use that thermal camera to look for air leaks around your doors and windows, summer and winter to see where your AC and Heat are escaping. Then you can weatherstrip it or insulate it. It might even tell you if there is a "Ghost" in your house.

[@pablonunez194]

@@robertpage2023 Yes true... I'll keep that in mind. in my house there are strange noises at night. :D

how did you know the value of the cap? you can guide for the size,color or what? thx in advance

Nice work Alex. When can we see some repairs with the use of an oscilloscope ? Keep up the good work and brilliant content.

I still think you should put "happy faces" on the parts that you replace. Of course, a seasonal theme would be nice too such as, since it's Halloween, put a pumpkin Jack O' Lantern face on that cap. It burned out and you "re-lit it" HAPPY HALLOWEEN MR. ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're amazing!

[@blackfa5823]

Just wondering are you using a hot plate when removing the components (mosfet, capacitor, etc). Thanks.

[@evoxslaydiy7620]

Well done Alex! One question. Can I use my bench power supply as inject voltage tool?

[@dreamcat04]

Yeah. That should work too. Sometimes you just need fine tips in order to get to small components

[@randyr.parker2698]

Well, I'm not Alex, but yes you can, just make sure not to set the voltage higher than the rail you're working on or you stand the chance of blowing up other components. ALWAYS keep the voltage low, best below the lowest rail of 3.3 volts, but better down around 1 volt, amps it doesn't matter, you can set it high, but not too high, because you don't want to burn the short out till you find out which component is bad, and you also don't want to burn any of the writing off the bad component so you know what to replace it with.

[@pablonunez194]

Usually power bench suplies go on protection mode when detect shorts that's why the short killer. the short killer gonna go no matters if it is a big short. the short killer can inject around 25 amps if it needed .

[@rahulmechatronics]

Yes you can use. Just ensure correct voltage/current is set on PSU before pressing output button

[@evoxslaydiy7620]

@@rahulmechatronics Ok Thanks! 1volt and how many amp do you thing I should set the psu?

[@The98deville]

Curious as to why all of a sudden laptops are dying from shorted capacitors...For years they were, in my experience, rock solid. I've had to replace a few keyboards and batteries on Dell laptops with 4th Gen Intel cpus but out of the close to 2 dozen I've worked on only 1 was dead and it was clearly liquid damaged.

[@skullkrusher6753]

Yeah, like mine has damaged gpu from overheating. Not from damaged capacitors. Is it from production flaw?

[@argeeman]

Great job mate.

[@HeyElliott]

Just came across your channel and video "randomly" (I'm sure the algorithm is watching and knows exactly what I need, ha!) ... I have a USB C x360 laptop that I've loved that just stopped turning on. I see blinking from the port when I plug in. I've let it sit for months and then it randomly allowed me to turn on and I was able to get all my data off of it. Now won't turn on again. Would love to see if this can be repaired! How do we send in for assessment? Cheers!

[@sanelb1147]

In a situation when u don't have same donor boars, no schematic. No idea what value the cap is, what do u do? Take a random cap of same size and try?

[@ereal2]

when do you NOT WANT TO inject voltage? when is not recommended that you inject power?

[@theinstallerguy786]

When there isn’t a short.

[@pablonunez194]

Usually if you don't have a short, injecting voltage is not necesary . you need to check voltages on the board.

[@robertpage2023]

I'd say, you can always do both to make sure that you didn't miss anything. But, that's just me.

Question How do i know what is a capacitor and what is a filter whats de difference?

[@davi1848]

Hi, firstly thank you for all the amazing content. Have been watching and following for some time. I have a question please. My Macbook Pro suddenly died so decided to do some testing from watching your videos. I have found Capacitors and components connected to PPVCC_S0_CPU and PPVCCIO_S0_CPU all shorted to Ground. Does this mean the CPU is dead?? Thanks.

Sir i forgot to ask you about heating temperature when your dealing with thin board like xbox controller board what should good

[@moonpig660]

@NorthridgeFix how much on average would a repair shop charge to replace a xbox one 1697 controller bumper with or without you providing the replacement parts? I was trying to replace it myself but following videos i just cant seem to get both bumpers to hook on ad the edge of the controller

[@eddikomputer2227]

Very perfect sir..

[@ljumuso]

What causes are cause of the short on that area?

[@MrFixiit]

Wow that was a easy fix :p

[@BryantAvant]

Alex, do you vent your fumes to an outside source? I'm starting a new shop in kc in a small space and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to ventilate the small office

[@NorthridgeFix]

You need a Fume extractor with HEPA filter. No need for windows. The Filter will take in the bad fumes and output good air. Without a HEPA filter bad fume will go in the fume extractor and come out unfiltered.
