I laughed out loud to the “we have a nice back cover” 😂

[@pedrosmith4529]

For a moment I REALLY thought IKEA was selling laptops

[@ronaldpickett5133]

LOL

[@maklogetrich2378]

I read the title, what? IKEA made a laptop? then I play the video, that's why 😂

[@hermesserranoaudio]

Me too 😂😂😂

[@modorangeorge4991]

Anyone can made a laptop or any electronic product these days. Just buy 1000 of them or whatever is MOQ in China to put your company logo on it and sell under your own brand.

[@fouzanium]

A bit too early to post for April 1st 😅

[@hatemaqil7649]

we got picture!! actually we got backlight 🎉🎉😅

[@algizmo7079]

Kudos to the customer who did such a nice job of disassembly and packaging. What a creative repair. Nice one

[@andrewwturner]

What you have to admire with Sorin's repairs is his sense of what's "good enough", this is a skill he demonstrates time and time again in his videos. He could have replaced the LCD and cable but that would have been expensive. Computers are temporary things - we own them for 3-5 years then throw them away, this repair was plenty good enough to last the remaining life of the laptop.

[@LostSheepful]

I've run old computers and laptops to avoid having to replace costly equipment (a win2k for 18 years). The trick was to prevent Windows from doing malicious updates. I've run Pavilions 1000 series g7 with wide screen- kept running only thanks to replacement power buttons, keyboards, touchpad boards, display cables and displays. Terrible luck with a more expensive 2000-series g7 A8. When I bought an more recent computer it wasn't an HP and it was based on price because the newer computers are using crap metal, crap boards and will not last by design. I'd rather be out $100 than $500 to $2000 in 3 years.

[@lablackzed]

Love his way of working find the fault fix it not throw it away old school.👍

[@miroslavstevic2036]

7:40 "This is why this repair can be done in only one way ..." t h e d o d g y w a y

[@jonathanparis2594]

😂😂😂😂

[@Pepe-ry8pm]

Repairing the screen was the best option: Changing it meant a high price (lcd+touch screen) and a high probability of poor quality in the touch screen. I have sometimes tried to separate the touch from the LCD on Lenovo screens and I have never succeeded (a huge headache). When I saw the Ikea laptop title... 🤣🤣🤣 I love your way of repairing. Greetings from Spain

[@johnsmith-mn2pl]

Sorin sounds like Dracula out too late in the night air 🤣

[@elgatovolador3226]

Let's hope the owner pops in here and tell us how the water got in there

[@5nowChain5]

Romanian Electronics Technicians are the Best in Europe. They CAN fix anything. We had one who fled to UK in 1986. A genius in the workshop.

[@kamkag159]

I have caught myself saying proper calibrated document back in office after watching your videos )))

[@Unsocial200]

That's why it is important to have a proper calibrated wire

[@davidlguerr]

I am sure it is possible to replace the screen and having touch working, as long as you order the correct PN from HP. If the screen was broken, it had to be replaced, there is no dodgy repair for a broken screen. But anyway, kudos to Sorin, having that much trouble to fix it.

[@Ed31003]

feel better soon Sorin

[@youtubasoarus]

As usual Sorin is a wizard with this stuff. Always amazing to see the result!

[@Maher-h]

Soren, you are like a surgeon. you treats the devices with forceps and a scalpel. Good Job

[@Strohann501]

Ikea Laptop is the biggest clickbait ever :D love it :D

[@t.s.8783]

Clickbait at it's best.

[@orfe]

Before clicking video i thought; “what! After getting rich with Ottoman Köfte (meatball) now with the laptops?) Never felt the same before when i see an HP logo :)

[@ziaddassoum]

Get well soon Sorin 🙏. As always, great fix !

[@johannesdesloper8434]

You solder 3 wires together by wrapping a proper calibrated fuse around the 3 wires and wrap the ends together few times and cut off excess. When evrything is tied together then solder.

[@Techware-do5xz]

Proper calibrated wire 😂😂😂 That was awsome. Thank you for your dodgy fixes.

[@mohamadmansour2595]

amazing job Sorin, you are genius 👍👍

[@grahamstuart3207]

Great Dodgy Fix Sorin. Customer will be very Happy.

[@Timpano_Francesco_Repairs]

HI Sorin, good job as alway... i like your calm and way to repairing, it's like my but i need to grow a lot to reach your experience... too simple throw away and replace and unsustenable... bye Francesco Timpano from Florence Italy

[@socratis100]

insane work ,good job

[@galacticpeace8459]

3 wire in same time - easy - twist 2 together or 3 and all easy 😉

[@gabrielshaw4729]

twist the two small wires together before you tin them....then tin them and its easy!!

[@samuelonaolapo2812]

Sorin, you really excite me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@sashaskatingchannel2322]

I can’t understand where there is so much water under the thick sticker. maybe it's condensation or something like that

[@fredwooding599]

Amazing... can't see how that should have worked... Another great lesson. Thank you.

[@kees4220]

hi dorinda, do not call it the dodgy way, but name it the sorin method way

[@surushzab1]

to make multiple wire solder to each other I twist them together, solder them together, cut the excess off and then solder them where I want to be.

[@Dohcom1]

Excelllent fix Sorin!, perfect reverse engineering, incisions and soldering, lol!

[@salvatoreitalia1850]

wow ,magical hands

[@GlishaSo]

i cznt believe how ez was this when I saw dmg I was like nooooo RIP so much work ! Amazing job done brother!

[@ElMariachi1337]

Still working with that amount of damage is crazy for sure!

[@radio-ged4626]

Amazing that the screen survived. I would have taken one look at that damage and just quoted for a new screen and cable. Unless it was my own laptop LOL. With my own laptop it would have to be more hot glue than laptop before I would give up trying to repair it and pay for a new cable and screen.

[@benjaminrichter8082]

Sorin! I love your videos. I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro that doesn't display picture, it used to blue-screen when picked up or moved. Can I send it to you to take a look at? Even if it's dead, it might be a funny video.

[@wisher21uk]

Brilliant fix Sorin 😊

[@peterhodgkins6985]

Amazing! You never cease to surprise me Sorin! lol

[@TheTony111111]

Another's great fix, Sorin.

[@Trustsimo07]

thanks, Sorin, now we know it, rust and damage track means 19v is there.

[@boof405]

Get well soon brother. The sore throat was a surprise :))

[@chickenhenhen2534]

Amazing ..bravooo love your job ❤

[@roche1237]

Proper calibrated wire to the rescue Sorin😅😅😅.

[@RickDkkrd]

We have backlight. That's insane. I can't believe.

[@Hotkife]

I always twist wires before soldering? Certainly helps when there's more than 2 lol

[@safn1949]

Excellent, that's a lot of damage.

[@weerobot]

The Dodgy Way The Only Way...

[@rfr653]

Good job mate

[@vandehoek]

Do you have any parts left over? (IKEA) Hahaha, well done Sorin.

[@tim0steele]

I would like to know how the water gets in there.. good repair.

[@AlbataniMT]

O cara é muito bom! Comemora igual eu quando consigo sucesso no reparo kkkkkkkkk

[@philiprostom7885]

Thank you

[@trilhosdoalgarvebtt]

I would change the screen without even blinking 🤣😂

[@chumatez]

Nice one (we have pictures)

[@8500gtNvidia]

Every time Sorin is going to check the screen connector and find corrosion, you know what is going to happen xD

[@antoniomaximino1410]

"Dodgy" but efective ! 🤣🤣

[@davidharvey4059]

Sorin does it again I just can't imagine many people would go to this much trouble. Easier to buy a new screen or a new pc Just excellent stuff

[@LostSheepful]

In 18 minutes he unpacked and repaired. It would take at least that to order part, drag out the computer again to do the repair and that's if HP hasn't "retired the model" Then it's a gamble of whether or not the right part comes in.

[@Edge-71]

The only way is sorin way ..haha

[@f.falkwings]

Someone tried to connect that screen into an incompatible laptop and since the wire layout is very unconventional, it fried that screen connector and part of it's circuits. I'd made that mistake before 😂 Never connect touch capable screens into non touch capable laptops haha

[@juarezcastelo]

We have backlight!

[@RocketRenton]

Didn't even know they made Laptops, learn something every day.

[@dmisi1]

pe vremea lui Ceausescu erai boier cu un patent si cu o sarma,.... :) 2024 it is a proper calibrated wire Year ,.... Great video !!!

[@user-dx7ei4zx8l]

Lawl we have PICTUREEEE! Lawwlll.... lawwwwlll. Lawl.

[@humamalrawi1276]

The master calibrated wire

[@daisyschmidt7515]

Perfect job :D

[@blackdotkiller1]

An MFI laptop 😂 you build from scratch 😂

[@perumalp28]

You are genius

[@MrReeceyburger123]

Haha awesome man love it, same sort of repairs for myself 😄 You should do a compilation of your dodgy sayings haha, fusee wireees huhhh 🤟😂😂

[@sullytrny]

Off-topic but Subaru just had a recall and guess for what? it's the capacitor.

[@ZENERVOLTAGE]

Hi Sorin...Or community! I was wondering if you could let me know how you've connected a USB cable to your bench power supply please? To allow you to see the current draw from your repair jobs. The USB has 4 wires inside, and I'm just confused about what to do with D+ and D- wires? I've connected the red and black to my supply, but without the data lines to anything, the current draw is limited by the device somehow, and not by the bench supply. What is the best thing to do with the data wires?

[@eugene7173]

How the liquid or water pass the aluminuim tape on the back of the screen inside the frame and it continues for a while until the screen connectors died of rutten rust. WOW > what you were using kids water gun at the screen?

[@trexzulu2806]

Zambia 🇿🇲

[@beogeek]

Hey Sorin which camera do you use for the birds eye view?

[@JVSd-SG]

Hello. Mini PC on Intel n100. When turned on, the screen is black, the fan rotates, the radiator heats up, and it consumes about 14W from the outlet (TDP of processor 6); during normal operation, it seems to have consumed about 20W. But even when turned off, it consumes about 10 W and the processor heatsink gets very hot. Processor to be replaced? Can the processor heat up when turned off and consume 10W from the outlet when the processor is alive?

[@TSAHBB]

Sorin is the best

[@uaalien]

lol. My mind is officially blown!

[@omarsayedahmed951]

Is this screen is touchscreen, want to see testing for it please, and i am worried about charging battery; i don't why but i learned alot from you; you are a good man; i wish allah gives you everything nice.

[@blackdotkiller1]

[@The411]

Perfectly dodgy :)

[@sniper5406]

we have a nice back cover, we have a nice Screen, we have a nice screws, we have a nice laptop, we have a nice wire, we have a nice connector, we have a nice riddle, we have a nice keyboard, we have a nice backlight, I CAN'T BELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEVE

[@DTsinaf]

Dodgy way... YEAH!!!!

[@jwwilson-h3i]

rusted and corroded screen connectors

[@ebilgin]

this is like defusing bomb in counter strike :)

[@orfe]

I’m a creep who gets a pleasure when someone’s device fixed unless if it’s not software related. ( chip blocks etc don’t give me that pleasure and happiness especially i hate them as a victim and can’t do anything about it with my battery) I got every step and logic except how you spot those 13V’s must connect on inverter board. That’s where i blackout :)

[@sanaali3875]

Wao wao wao u are great sir

[@bmd.toptech]

good

[@Brycereigle2000]

Stupid question for anyone here, Can a laptop board be shorted still if power supply light is on and working normal? I just bought an ASUS G533Z laptop and it has no signs of life at all. But no light flickering or off on PSU. Tried a known working, charged battery, no difference. Thanks

[@boof405]

Yes! The secondary power lines(vcore, ddr, vccsa etc) could be shorted. But it doesnt mean that its shorted as the fault could be anything. Faulty power IC, broken resistors,fuses and so on

[@alessandrovirdis520]

Swedish instructions here... 🤣🤣

[@Rabenov-wq8qy2qg5t]

Use the provided hexkey!

[@alessandrovirdis520]

[@intoxicode]

Pretty sure the IKEA laptop is the framework just saying sorin...
