Customer sent an IKEA laptop, can we fix it? Can we??? Let's solve this riddle

[@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 😅

[@perkulant4629]

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

[@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.

[@algizmo7079]

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

[@kamkag159]

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

[@miroslavstevic2036]

😂😂😂😂

[@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.

[@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

[@lablackzed]

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

[@hatemaqil7649]

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

[@Unsocial200]

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

[@Ed31003]

feel better soon Sorin

[@youtubasoarus]

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

[@johnsmith-mn2pl]

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

[@Techware-do5xz]

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

[@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.

[@pauldery7875]

Awesome Proper Repair, Love your work and ingenuity to repair such a mess of laptop, for the customer in cost effective manor. Paul, USA!

[@GlishaSo]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Dohcoms]

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

[@Maher-h]

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

[@ElMariachi1337]

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

[@sashaskatingchannel2322]

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

[@samuelonaolapo2812]

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

[@ziaddassoum]

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

[@fredwooding599]

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

[@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

[@grahamstuart3207]

Great Dodgy Fix Sorin. Customer will be very Happy.

[@elgatovolador3226]

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

[@VoiceOfGalacticPeace]

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

[@peterhodgkins6985]

Amazing! You never cease to surprise me Sorin! lol

[@mohamadmansour2595]

amazing job Sorin, you are genius 👍👍

[@boof405]

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

[@socratis100]

insane work ,good job

[@wisher21uk]

Brilliant fix Sorin 😊

[@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 :)

[@bull.dog.]

@Sorin - my respect! 👏

[@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.

[@gabrielshaw4729]

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

[@TheTony111111]

Another's great fix, Sorin.

[@roche1237]

Proper calibrated wire to the rescue Sorin😅😅😅.

[@Trustsimo07]

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

[@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.

[@chickenhenhen2534]

Amazing ..bravooo love your job ❤

[@tim0steele]

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

[@rfr653]

Good job mate

[@Hotkife]

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

[@vandehoek]

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

[@safn1949]

Excellent, that's a lot of damage.

[@AlbataniMT]

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

[@8500gtNvidia]

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

[@REVERSE_BIAS]

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?

[@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.

[@chumatez]

Nice one (we have pictures)

[@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?

[@philiprostom7885]

Thank you

[@RickDkkrd]

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

[@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 🤟😂😂

[@kees4220]

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

[@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 !!!

[@juarezcastelo]

We have backlight!

[@trilhosdoalgarvebtt]

I would change the screen without even blinking 🤣😂

[@beogeek]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@antoniomaximino1410]

"Dodgy" but efective ! 🤣🤣

[@perumalp28]

You are genius

[@DMNL2]

No clean @11:14 ????

[@weerobot]

The Dodgy Way The Only Way...

[@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?

[@humamalrawi1276]

The master calibrated wire

[@foxfoxboyboy]

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

[@TSAHBB]

Sorin is the best

[@daisyschmidt7515]

Perfect job :D

[@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

[@blackdotkiller1]

An MFI laptop 😂 you build from scratch 😂

[@Edge-71]

The only way is sorin way ..haha

[@trexzulu2806]

Dodgy way... YEAH!!!!

[@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 :)

[@jwwilson-h3i]

rusted and corroded screen connectors

[@sanaali3875]

Wao wao wao u are great sir
