The world needs more people like you my brother. Instead of throwing everything into th trashbin we need to fix. Keep up the good work sir.

[@stillraven9415]

Something like 98% of the world's troubles is because of the disposable economy. There is too much money to be made that way, so they will never change. We don't have much choice because that is all you can find unless you have a guy like this pushing back.

[@SimjetAU]

After 30 years in repairing radios and satellite phones and a variety of other comms devices I just love watching you doing these repairs. You are a master thats for sure. I wish though some of this gear you use to assist in detection and repair was available 30 years ago..even 10 years ago. I am retired from the comms game now but I love this channel

[@ddaffyduck9636]

Thanks for keeping that beloved old tech alive for thirty years!

[@TLM-Nathan]

Alex should send a thank you letter to Asus for all the business they have given him.

[@JacobLara]

Alex, we all love seeing you do videos, obviously, but any chance Big Boss can do a repair video for the channel? Would love to see him go through his checks, then take apart an Asus laptop (which he probably has done a million of), then reassemble and test. I am sure he has his own style for videos, so however he wants to do it would be awesome. Thanks for all the great work!

[@John-dp3ln]

Just received my NF.V2 mini grinding pen. Pure class, just like the mini soldering iron. Only thing missing but not really necessary would be an instruction sheet to explain leds. Works really well, just as precise as Alex demonstrates.

Another awesome ROG laptop repair. Hope there isn't any flooding you have to worry about, heard Cali is getting SOAKED right now and it's causing flooding issues. Stay safe Alex!

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Not even raining , news was dead wrong. Northern Calif. is probably what you heard.

[@HazeAnderson]

LA always floods when it rains.

[@MrDemonKing21]

@@BigEightiesNewWave Oh I have a friend who lives in Cali and she said it was raining like crazy in Cali. She bought sandbags and everything.

[@Mave-rick]

Northridge, where Alex's shop is located, had only light rain, it lasted less than a day. It sounds like your friend lives in Northern California. Southern California, is pretty much dry desert with little rain year round. I say this as a fellow Californian living in SoCal. Thumbs up for caring about others. 👍

[@Elyon113]

I love learning from your channel! thank you for uploading these!

Thanks for showing the reflection showing up as a false heat sopt. I need to practice with the thermal cam I got from you and learn to use it correctly.

[@PiMi91]

amazing job as always, looks like a nice place even with rain, i would like to come on day. greetings from italy 😁

[@breakingaustin]

Why can you not live by me 😭😭I stopped taking electronics to local repair shops because they either fuck it up more or tell me it can't be fixed.. I tested two places with an Xbox with a loose ribbon cable and both told me it was fully dead and tried to charge me. I showed them the issue and got banned from one of the places. the other actually offered me a job, but I wouldn't work there if you paid me triple hours. Please, please keep doing what you're doing. you are a dying breed to those just wanting money for nothing.

Is it just basically you and big boss who work there? I mean on the equipment? If so then that’s wild. Good job either way

[@Ryoga-Oneesan]

seeing those piles of broken devices waiting to be fixed indicate that you're not gonna run out of contents any time soon.... and we're gonna be here, watching and learning something new each time you upload a video.... 😊😊😊❤️

[@bigsscore8378]

Respect to you and the lonely BIG BOSS

[@aymenbolo850]

ASUS IS SOO GOOD ON TURNING OFF AND NOT REBOOTING BACK ! This issue is pain on the ass had this last year

[@MaD_fX]

What I always find surprising is that people have absolutely no shame sending in their filthy devices for repair without as much as wiping them clean first. Look at the state of this laptop in the shot from Big Boss' desk at the end of the video - absolutely disgusting. Alex, just like you have a no-fix fee you should probably add a health-hazard fee to your terms and conditions as well.

[@ahmedyosry2671]

I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS

[@djrenault]

"why does it always have to be that the last thing we measure is the thing that is bad?" this reminds me of when my buddy's dad was looking all through the garage for something, and finally found it, and i said "it's always the last place you look eh?" and he said "yeah, cause after that, you stop looking" lol

[@mophie6941]

that made me laugh really loud, it is so true actually 😂😂😂

[@nimas216]

like that every time big boss want to start the device first he says besmelah🥰

[@zachariepayant3864]

Awesome

[@rasg3000]

Ar 5:30 there is a component that looks SUS af. You might want to give it a second look

[@mohamedhussein120]

Nice ✌🏾

[@antoniocavalli5474]

Very good job, Do you have alot of acer nitros to fix?

[@Davpana]

Alex, please, i am soldering the first QFN chips, Yesterday i was repairing a big TV and at the time to press the chip my fingers burned, pressing the chip is mandatory so how long are your tweezers? Thanks!

[@Heinrich.Fourie]

hi do you do any reballs on gpus or cpus

[@jackiemay9471]

awesome

[@Davpana]

Good morning, i think i don't understand your mosfet testing method, i guess the small one contact is the gate so you test in diode mode with beep between GND and the gate, but i always used to test Drain-source channel for short, normally a good one shows small voltage drop only in one direction, this because i heard not always the short ruins also drain-gate junction.. how it have to do? thx

[@rocketPower047]

So i have a 12th gen version of this. Am I eventually screwed and should've stuck with MSI?

[@djhandsometv6826]

How do you inject voltage and what device do you use for it

[@shamsalfaisal]

Came in for repair.

[@killpioo2]

How do you find a reputable microsolder repair shop if you're not in the UK?

5:31... the hole in the CAP :)

[@robertoruiz7069]

Alex-alex >oh that's right,you can't see me raising my hand on the other side of the screen.i think i know the answer to your question !!! WHY IS IT ALWAYS the LAST one we measure??Because when you find IT [meaning in this case the shorted component} there is NO REASON to continue searching. Let's say you lose one of your shoes,when do you STOP looking?That's right>haha Always something good to learn from your videos,the new camera is amazing.

[@nimam3530]

He is the whole universe's boss.

[@andyboghi]

always amazed of thermal camera, QUESTION from a noob: what will happen if you will inject 1V 1Amps on a good board, will it damage?

[@tylercoombs1]

The ROG whisperer LOL

[@mohammadhassan7069]

could you tell us where to get parts to fix are products like a changing port

[@mizizi1]

The best amazing

[@stillraven9415]

It is ALWAYS the last place you look because you stop looking for it once you find it. Try starting with the last place first.🤣🤣🤣

[@SirSmilie]

maybe this has been asked and answered before but how do you get so many donor boards? Do you ask the customers of the "No Fix"'s if you can keep the item and they sell it to you for a small fee or do they just let you hold at no charge because they dont want it back?

[@ariewijaya1679]

They swap "unfixable gadget" with unpayable diagnostic fee 😁

[@darkbyte2005]

Great video, as alway better than factory.. I was wondering how can you tell just by looking at the mosfets. Which pin is drain, source or gate?

[@OnStageLighting]

The layout is always the same. Gate is easy to remember as it's the single pad.

[@OnStageLighting]

Some packages are actually dual MOSFETs rather than a single one.

[@chaerulea3457]

Most times if you are not experienced you can use the number part of the mosfet to check the diagram

[@darkbyte2005]

Wow, thanks

[@StonyBologner]

Ur thermal looked like one of the top row of mosfet some where in the middle was getting hot

[@somewaresim]

How do you ever get to the non-expedited repairs with so many expedited ones? 😮

[@aelaan12]

Boss of all Bosses - oh look it's raining lol

[@dazlee3449]

trouble with gaming laptops today is there packing too many high ends components into a small compact space, i find sticking to the mid range stuff tends to have very little issues, asus tuf laptop i have has gone so well for 2 years with the gtx 1660 no issues what so ever. it is a regular name that pops up for repair but i guess some are lucky some not.

[@randomtechme3311]

والله العظيم كان عندي شعور انك عربي. افتخر فيك. بسم الله عليك و حولك من العين.

[@MathiasVen]

Why is there Thermalpaste on the Coils and Mosfets???

[@BigRalphSmith]

Why does it always look like a bomb went off on your bench? How do you keep track of everything piled up on it?

[@frank409]

@NorthridgeFix Do you think these components blew up because these laptops usually runs quite hot? 95C on CPU is a "normal behavior".

[@ragpot]

I truat your big boss recognises your contribution to NRF and makes you a partner.....

[@gacherumburu9958]

👍👍

[@elvisfrias8267]

Having a computer with the same issues. How much is it to fix

[@norkris8729]

on my asus laptop i have a dead USB A port (no 5v) is it a bad idea to bring 5v to the back side of that port from somwhere else on the board?

[@asusroggl702vsk9]

Wala Wa7sh🤣😍😍
