Lenovo ideapad 100s - dead, repaired by a magic touch :D

[@TheKetsa]

When this happens I always fear the problem will come back a few days later...

[@kimspeller6941]

maybe as the battery has swollen like that the pressure between the case and motherboard caused a broken joint or track ? and once the pressure was removed it made contact again ? had an iphone battery go like that once, trashed the motherboard ! :(

[@electronicsrepairschool]

possible

[@Dr.Leszek]

I think the problem was with the battery that got too much swell, beacuse of heat on the back and there was too much pressure between the battery and the backpanel. I had a LG Nexus 4 which battery was almost dead, after couple days laying on the windowsill beacuse of sun battery got that much swell that the backpanel was cracked, of course the was no amps by trying to charge it , and after removing the backpanel and testing things it started to charging, of course with low amperage but.. it was charging .

Could be the curse of the dendrites

[@gs-mt8zd]

That battery is the problem and in it's condition very dangerous and needs to be replaced.

[@DumahBrazorf]

You never saw a laptop @5v before because that's not a laptop. That's a joke, a tablet dressed like a netbook. That battery is scary. I would have removed it and forced the customer to buy a new one or use the "laptop" without it.

[@mattiashammelfelt7803]

I also had that problem on two different laptops, after a little magic massage on the swollen batteries it started...But recommended the customers to let me buy new batteries for them

[@EdgeRatedR007]

My father has the same laptop with the same issue. I only opened the back and it worked but I have to make sure the charger is in. Maybe the connection is a bit loose, like the 110s you did last year?

[@montydaniels1054]

A friend of my wife's dropped off her Lenovo IdeaPad 110s-11IBR. How I found the problem was easy but I wasn't actually thinking it was what I found. The Positive [ + ] side evidentially broke off the charge port. Usually the - & + are integrated into the Mainboard but not on this model. The Negative & Positive, - & + wires are soldered onto the rear of the charge port, then soldered onto the Mainboard. In my opinion, it's the strangest way for the charge port connections to be soldered on. I ended up buying a Soldering Gun with the Solder Auto-Feed, which has a Reel for the Solder right on the rear of the Gun, so you can solder with one hand. That's the only way I found to be able to fix this model laptop. I just wondered if you use one of those type Soldering Guns. I do so little soldering, I didn't even know that they made this type of Soldering Guns.

Hi Sorin, maybe that middle screw on the cover was over tightened (you mentioned it at the beginning) causing the motherboard to twist?

[@SudosFTW]

Figuring out a way to get this model to boot without a battery would be a huge step. Lenovo put out a BIOS update to prevent the battery from overcharging just recently last month, and I like many others have a puffy battery.

[@fayazkhan4640]

Very nice service thanks

[@nealschwartz9456]

The battery is shorting out motherboard. Many years ago, a tech explained to me that every item connected to the logic board can be suspect. Today, I always start bare bones then add one peripheral at a time.

[@hackintoshmalang5717]

Mr. Sorin...I have problem with my lenovo yoga s1...its cannot shutdown, ...after shutdown for a while then its restart by its self...could be because bad super io chip ?....i already check 19v,5v,3,3v its normal

[@pcplacegr]

Had this one recently with a strange problem activating by itself the Bitlocker encryption, thus not booting without the key. Took me 1 day to find out that the ONLY Windows to install is a 32bit version... Jesus...

[@aning7159]

That is the same with my unit.. my unit problem is no Bootable device.. but in a bios sandisk is readable. ..

[@tylerd2471]

I followed your steps and Bam! I fixed my computer lol. I assume the power button is not making contact with the actual button which is located opposite side of the blue board you were working on

[@JSuparman]

Sir, I think, the charging circuit itself has a 'tripp-off' protection electronically everytime it detected large overvoltage comes in.

We love your videos thank you

Sir can you help me , my keyboard not working well the keys looks sticky and it’s typing by itself without any press on the keys

[@ZeeTech21]

hi sir i lenovo idea pad 100s. its turning on but no display. waht is the problem ?

I had one that the problem was the keyboard causing a short. after disconnect the keyboard.

[@Its_me_abhi-nv9dh]

Best rework station and dc power supplay

[@zx8401ztv]

Ooow 19v into a 5v input, that has to kill the boost converter that must exist to charge the battery :-(. Perhaps that lenovo got too hot and would not start?

[@m2a687]

Undoubtedly, the pressure of the rear panel was the cause of the problem.

[@mavesoft3284]

No, I think is a kind of magic with wichcraft...yea thats possible....yes i seen this before... :=)

[@itzzjok3rzz208]

My laptop just randomly stopped charging for no reason. One of the chips started smoking and magically started working again. Its also the exact same model as that one

I have a lenovo ideapad 110s i have the chargerr is pluggeed in, the charger is fine and the charging light just goes orange theen stops please help

[@MarcoSorsaPT]

Just the other day you said the voltage does not matter and you showed us when you applied 28v to a laptop. The current limiter drops the voltage to the correct value. Now you blew a 5v laptop by applying 19v to it. Confused now.

[@electronicsrepairschool]

5*4=20 4 times more voltage. From 19 to 28 is not even one time more

[@MarcoSorsaPT]

Ahh yes. My bad thinking. Thank you.

It's way much better idea to buy 2.60 pounds Key for Windows than using KMS Activators etc .

better find an old win7 or 8 key on a dead discarded machine. It works for win10.
