Asus x553S not coming on, just a nice Friday fault

[@androbelgica7681]

my sister gave me a laptop same with the one you repaired and with similar issue ..I followed your step by step diagnosis and repair and amazingly it also had same shorted capacitor..you saved me a lot of hours and probably patience just to repair my sisters laptop..thank you!!!!

What i love with him is not only a great electronics teacher, also great ethics; " make a good diagnise, make a fair price" . I also disagree with comments like "dodgy" :), i rather call it pragmatical, cost effficient, and solution oriented. Keep the great job up.

Hi Sorin. I don't know why yt was not showing me your videos on my feed. I'm subscribed and I was thinking you were not publishing videos anymore. With this video you came back to my feed suddenly after nearly two months not showing your content. I'm glad you are still doing this great didactive content.

Nice tip about the flashing light in the power supply!

I very much appreciate your videos. Being confined on a small island in the southern Philippines, all dead and lame laptops land on my desk. Currently I am overhauling or repairing 3 laptops in Japanese language. Your hints and ideas almost always help me to find the origin of the problem. The alcohol trick is one of the best. I use local rum. Cheers and thanks.

Hello Mr Sorin, I hope you can do more videos of small board repair ( different electronic gadget board like ). small board are easy to understand for beginner like me and very educative. and I think that would help to learn how to test components and find the fault with your way to diagnostic. Nice Friday and good weekend ;) Regards.

11:39 wow! finally you are gentle for the motherboard :) all pads under the capactior will survive.Yeeeey! :) it could be even more nicer if you could take any donor board from your scrap and took from there good capactior from 19v power rail and replace it here. It is 1minute job. but maybe one day will see that on you video :) fingers cross :)

[@enzorenade]

You are amazing!

[@saeidshariati5103]

Thank my master

[@asv5769]

Thank you Sorin for this video. I hoped you would record a video for this Asus laptop that you diagnosed during the repair of that Panasonic DVD player yesterday. Did you ever have a case where laptop actually starts and shut down after few seconds or a minute during windows loading? I had recently two cases of „ No power“, in both cases voltage on power connector was about 1 or 2V. In both cases there was a shorted Mosfet producing some power rail (GPU or 5V). After mosfet replacement laptops start but power is cut after few seconds or minutes.

[@ghislainriou9560]

Good day Sorin. I have a question why did you not change the capacitor that you removed, don't you need to put back a new one to make it stable? Can you tell me what model is your power supply you use for testing? Thank you Sorin for everything looking forward to a reply ;)

[@RoyMaya]

That's what I was wondering too. I guess it's like taking out a kidney - you can do without it. lol

[@ghislainriou9560]

@@RoyMaya lmao it looks so

[@MegaErrora]

Just a newbie question, when the capacitor`s gone, and you remove it, don`t you change it with a new one? Can somebody explain me that.

[@tanishqbhaiji103]

They have like more than 10 capacitors, they overdo it for redundancy and if they need only 100 uF they will put 220uF and you can remove them just don’t go removing a lot of them like more than 7-10.

[@edthetech]

Thanks for the video. Did you replace the bad cap with a new one?

I love that screws driver....where cam I get it?

[@virusoiul]

Nice video Sorin, whos that bold handsome guy in the back?

[@michelepiofragasso5804]

Hi Sorin, thanks for the beatiful content as usual. I wanted to know ask two questions to you: 1) it is advisable to solder a new capacitor where the old one was removed or it doesn't change much the behaviour of the circuitry. 2)Which kind of alcohol did you use to spot the hot zone? Was it Izopropanol? If no which kind was it? And may izopropanol make shorts between the wet components? Thanks so much I have been following you for years but since I recently got my new equipment and some computers to fix I wanted to delve in those repairs, so any advice about this two topic would be welcomed. I would also appreciate advices from other members of the community with more experience than mine ( which is basically null apart some engineering academic education ahah).

[@rogamingz206]

1. Laptops are overly engineered, the two caps most likely to reduce the noise of the flow, its okay to not replace the removed capacitor. 2. I think he uses isopropyl alcohol 70 percent is okay i guess, it wont matter cause you will dry it out after you spot the shorted cap. Just my 2cents watching sorin and adamant. Hahahaha. Sorin help me ouutta here. :/

[@Tiyagi99]

You could use a current shunt in series to show the amperage at the start of the video. You could use the oscilloscope as well. Just for fun! Keep up the good work.

[@anyiamvictor]

One question though....don't you need to replace the cap that was removed?

Hi sir I wanna ask .if i have a power supply . Wich gose off when there is a short .do i have the shorted element get hot?

[@idachirufus7365]

Hello, this comment might not be related to this video in any way, but I know this is the right channel to ask this question. I have been following and watching videos from this channel beacuse I am very interested in electronics repair. I am from Kenya and looking to set up an electronics repair shop here. I am looking for advise on a magnifying desk lamp and the magnification that can help me inspect the tiny components on a logic board comfortably. I'm really restrained financially and I have no 100 USD to spend on a microscope. Links to what I need on ebay will be very appreciated. Keep up the good work. You've inspired me alot.

[@spike5552]

So if that cap was shorted, don't you have to solder another cap insted?? How can we find out the value for that ? Or the new one has to be bigger in size to work fine ?? Just curious

[@tknuwan]

Not getting what you explained in the beginning regarding current pulling. can you explain..

[@joshuamungasia4529]

thanks Sorin,do you handle projectors?I have LG projector model Bs275 stuck on standby,checked logic board by applying external 12v and 5v it comes on ,but power supply only gives 5 v ,missing 385v and 12v,tried to check components everything seems to be okay, could you be having schematic? how can you advice?

Mr sorin why you don't use bios programmer?

[@blaze-jb4xz]

Anyone know if laptop screen that showed pink then faded to white and now dead screen can this be fix without replacing screen?

[@RudyPeter]

Nice, understandable videos, but mostly still the same all around, at least when it comes to laptop videos. I don't know maybe Sorin is still lucky that the defect is still in the power supply. I started repairing laptops recently, also thanks to these videos, but out of fifteen laptops, I only had five with some short circuit on the board and the remaining ten I can't find a defect. I would welcome videos of even more complex fixes. For example, how to fix a usb data line or a faulty ram slot or a white screen display with a faulty display.

[@RyanMcNeal2]

I am not a pro. I would imagine that you have to change the connector/place/slot where the ram sits? Just an NEWBIE OPINION!!!

[@RudyPeter]

@@RyanMcNeal2 The ram slot does not have to be defective, but the system simply does not recognize the ram in the slot. What to look for, where to start? Also usb port, 5v present but the system does not recognize the device in the usb port. Or short to 3.3v, only partial, nothing is hot but more components are warm .........

[@blaze-jb4xz]

Do you know were to buy replacement LCD screens for phones or a trusted worthy company that sells real ones not glass replica I tried to get one but found so many that sold me ones that look like it but never worked for any phone

[@forgewire]

How do you check current on motherboard with multimeter if it’s not connected to power supply?

[@jimdavis6833]

I have always wondered after watching your videos for so long, why do they put in 2 caps when one would suffice?

[@azureuscomputerrepairs]

Please understand that when Sorin says "petrol" he means "LIGHTER FLUID"

[@azureuscomputerrepairs]

Don't forget some circuits only have one capacitor... those circuits, you will have to replace the capacitor, otherwise that part of the circuitry will not work... eg... mousepad etc. Just be aware.
