What a statement! Wow! That's awesome.

[@exincident]

May be you were a bad student ?

[@azee2222]

I definitely love that you've aimed this at hobbyists and recommend going cheap on equipment to start, helps give those entry level people confidence that they will be fine to start off with basic equipment instead of worrying about getting more expensive stuff.

[@petersmith5199]

I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now but have decided to start at the beginning as my new soldering station has arrived in the country from wish. Happy new year to me, but more importantly, thank God there are people out there so very generous with their time and knowledge. Thank you.

[@_.alex.-]

I'm really glad to have found this series and your channel! Thank you for all your effort and explanations, you are a great teacher.

[@brianbarcus5853]

I'm one second into this video and I must stop to commend you on your absolutely gorgeous wall decorations. If I wasn't in a wheelchair I would be replicating that fantastic room decor myself in my room.

[@erickgomez8758]

This guy is an amazing teacher, this is the first video I’ve come across and I can already tell I’m gonna learn so much

[@autumnjeserich2689]

I do professional board repair everyday when it comes to soldering irons you don't get more with more expensive ones. The important thing is to get a t12 cartridge style tip that has the heating element in the tip, not the old fashioned ceramic heating element that the tip sits around. There's tons of knock offs that can be had for as little as 20-30 bones. I have a hakko but I almost never use it and use my knock off t12 i got for 25 dollars on amazon. Also for board repair 2 soldering irons is much more valuable than 1 valuable one. It makes removing smd components very easy like smd resistors and leds. A good iron stand that preferably has a spot for brass shavings and a sponge is also a good investment. I don't use my hakko station much at all but I do use the stand.

[@fricky172]

I'm only 5 minutes in, and wow! I can't wait to check out more of your channel. And THANK YOU for truly starting with an introduction on budget equipment and scope of the video series... I've done very basic soldering and repairs for years, but always been more of a software guy, looking to learn more hardware repairs and understanding. Ok, onto the rest of the video!

[@IsaacOLEG]

Now that I will have all the necessary equipment (including an analog oscilloscope, for more learning) I will get a damaged or non starting powerbook board, so I can go along with you in all the basics more easily. I have an accessory question, if you don't mind : what can be written for a sensing current resistor, on the board ? (should it be written Rcs every time or most often) . I did see Louis Rossman using a software that links the schematics with the board layout (but it seem to be somewhat expensive, not really possible for my level of learning ;) ) Best regards

[@bekoblast]

God Bless KZbin for this useful Tutorials, and Thank you very much sir for sharing your knowledge, you are a life saver.

@AdamantIT wonderful content. I have a m-atx Mobo (MSI k9agm4) which seems to have a short. I have checked and all surface mount caps close to cpu socket are shorted. CPU is not installed and also RAM is not installed. This Mobo is outdated but would be a great learning experience. Please advise me where to start, I'll get you more details if required.👍

Hi, thank you for your tutorials. I need help with hp proone 400 g2 touch that has no power. I changed adaptor and even applied 19.5 from bench power supply but draws no current. I assume that indicate no short circuit on the board, but does not power up. I have reset the CMOS battery , but also didn't help. NO led light is on once you plug power in or when you press power button. Any idea what is it? Very much appreciated.

HELLO ADAMENT! Am an avid Subscriber, you are my first 'Go to' when diagnosing PC issues! I recently built a new Computer in my old Tower with an MSI Z390-A PRO Motherboard with an Intel Pentium Gold Processor G5400 CPU @ 3.7GHz! Next added 64.0 GB DDR4 3200 Ram! Also a ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1 Video Card! Recently upgraded all my HHD's with an Intel 660p Series M.2 1 TB SSD Drive C and two WD I TB internal SSD's! My Computer now boots up completely for a cold start in 30 seconds!!!! (Once in a while when I turn it on, it Boots into the Bios Screen)!!!(But when I wont to boot into Bios, no matter what key combination I press it wont go into Bios on Command)! Windows will not display on my Digital Monitor but I can see the Bios Screen on another HDMI Output to my 32 inch TV! Am running XMP Mode and Gaming Mode on the MSI along with allocating 3/4 of my Ram to Process my Adobe Premiere 2022! My Question is: How do I get the computer to Boot into Windows EVERY TIME? And secondly, How do I get my computer to boot into Bios on command?

[@daveemm7504]

Good video. I'm curious, when a micro component like a cap or a fuse go bad, is it physically visible as in burn marks, leaking goo, obvious cracks or breaks? I know you can simply test it w a meter.

[@Adamant_IT]

Not always. Sometimes you get a clear sign that the component has failed - sometimes a dead component looks exactly like the perfectly good one next to it.
