Out of curiosity, why would someone press dislike on videos like these? This guy is doing something what the internet was made for, share knowledge. Praise this guy man!

[@joychung3639]

become too good is also a crime for dislike;

[@1050franco]

Bots , haters , etc. I always find channels like that.

[@InsertValidName]

Some do just for fun even if they like what they see. Some weird "i'm cool brain damage thing" i guess, anonymity grows interesting fruit sometimes.

brings me happiness seeing you being happy everytime you fix a customers item!

I'm just a hobbyist but these videos have helped me learn how to troubleshoot problems. Thanks man

[@gastongl404]

best troubleshooting guide u can get from the official HP website: unplug ur charger and remove ur battery, try swaping RAM, if that doesn't work buy a new motherboard from this link ..

It's fun to see you when you find the problem and fix it. BIG smile!

[@netcomsolutions369]

Look at that, better than factory!……. The Job is done! 💯💪🏻🙏🏻 Mr Alex you are truly the best!

[@dnantis]

You sure love your job ! That big smile when all was fixed is admirable !!

I didn't know much about electronics repair before starting whatch this channel, know I feel a lot better. 🙏

[@Martin-ot7xj]

Hi there , at 09:46 , you explained because of short to ground we can inject the power to any ceramic capacitor to find the short , just i wanted to say big thankyou for your explanation, because i though that we must inject power to the specific capacitor !!!! i saw a lots of video but they didn't explain exactly how to inject the power on the mainboard .but your explanation was easy , perfect and clear. thankyou for all your explanation in your videos . Thank you for spend time for us to make a tutorial video . please make more like this video with a good and perfect explanation .

[@fabianfarina2208]

My day start this good! Watching quality content.

[@arun6106]

Probably the only channel where we hit "Like" even before watching the video🙂

[@loadedfry2.089]

Always feel happy like you after repairing something by my own hand.

[@gilancadre6236]

Your methodology of repairing is super duper cool. 1. Check connectivity. 2. Using Thermal Cam spot any overheating components. 3. Identify the cause of error and fix it 4. Job Done

[@tchierrafire]

I love how after so many years of fixing, you're always getting this nice smile after a fix. Beautiful too see this passion. Big up to you and your team.

[@pyrhockz]

That grin is communicative ❤

[@stillraven9415]

I like to see the joy in your eyes when you fix something. I know that feeling.

[@symonsicuan6148]

im not that excellent in electronics but the way i look your at your smile means that device will serve another year to its owner thank you!

[@chiranjibkalita9679]

Few days back my hp laptop went totally dead , no light, no display but thankfully i watched your previous videos on finding sort using voltage injection and i was able to find the faulty capacitor and bring my laptop back to life...thank you so much your video helped me save couple of bucks 😊

[@marcotinnirello6010]

I want a thermal cam. And a voltage injector. And a microscope and ring light. Love these videos, brilliantly done as always. One cap, takes down whole laptop. Wonder how many electronics in landfill just because a cap has shorted….. Bravo Alex, keep up the great work and videos 💪👌

[@sylvesteryaiuglig2470]

I would definitely watch your channel everyday.

[@HamSammich88]

Time is money. Working smart always gets the job done. Another splendid video.

[@JonnSandon]

You are a real inspiration for me and I'm sure everyone else who watches and enjoys your journey.

That thermal camera is a major time saver.

[@pauloumali6242]

i like what you did today, its like teaching at school where to trace those traces going and when to used voltage injection.. hope you can do this in your future videos

[@rafaelduarte5620]

Once again I learned something new.... I still don’t know how to inject voltage, but I’m improving with yours videos. Thanks again

[@williamramalhodacosta763]

I love your videos. Whats make me feel so glad i see your face when short is located. Amazing. Congratulations from BRAZIL

[@kunalpal3854]

Working like a detective.. trace the line and captured the culprit ... Learning something new .. ❤️❤️

[@karimnageeb1880]

Journey to the center of the board: the hidden shorted cap

[@NasheedPog]

This type of detective job is the best content in my opinion! Finding the problem, investigating the connected areas, and concluding the exact location. Excellent job! I ordered a power injection tool a week ago and super excited to receive it -- hoping to use it to fix a couple of pokemon games!

[@Enjoymentboy]

The things I appreciate most about your videos is the methodology and logic you use. Logic is so rare nowadays and most people just don't seem to know how to think their way through a problem. Your videos clearly show how doing so works and why an immediate emotional response is rarely the proper way to tackle a problem. Thanks again for another great video.

[@matkos19]

What a good investigation of short....well done Alex

[@fizzyplazmuh9024]

I accidentally crossed one of my USB peripherals with 12V and my HP laptop died instantly. I have always done my own repairs but rarely on a laptop MB so your videos are a huge confidence builder so when I go into my MB I have confidence. Thank you.

[@martinkesselaar9522]

And after you screw up you can sent it to Alex 🤣🤣

[@mpjohns]

Nicely don again. My wife loves his smile when he figured it out.

[@Martin-ot7xj]

Hi there , first it was perfect diagnosis without schematics, and second it was very good you explained how to read and fallow the path on the motherboard, please upload more like video , how to follow track and path to find the issues without schematics . your explanation is so easy and awesome. thnx

[@gibbo4809]

I am learning so much from your channel Alex, particularly when you show how to follow the traces/pads to the fault. I have always found this quite difficult before but with your explanations I am finding it a lot easier to follow. Please keep explaining following traces/pads. Thank you for all your fantastic videos.

[@spizzed]

It’s refreshing to see the satisfied expression on your face after you troubleshoot and make repairs! Keep the great content coming and thank you.

[@ernieschatz3783]

Very useful info. Describing your train of thought helps tons to people who haven't spent so much time doing this...like me :). ERB channel is a little too "basic" and never pursues an actual fault to conclusion, while other more advanced channels just assume damn near everything is second nature to the audience.

What would you do without a thermal cam? Looking for a needle in a haystack for sure. Great video on how the find a problem methodically. Thank you for sharing your experience!

couple options, spray it with isopropyl and look for where it boils quickly, or feel around with your hand

Once I wanted to buy a Spectre with charging issue. The seller said it's just a connector problem, but after seeing many videos from you, I knew it's a totally different issue. We also learn from your videos.

[@spaceted3977]

Fantastic repair !!! With the fault so far away from the Mosfets really impressive !!!!

[@danielgrevan]

The importance of having a good quality thermal camera. Just a contribution for anyone, sometimes a short doesn't produce enough heat to be detected, in these cases you could try the Kelvin method (4 wire), search for that. Nice job as always. Peace.

[@fingerfreak]

I'm learning something new everytime I watch your videos. Thank you for the great content.

[@pcrengnr1]

Thx for sharing. My short hunting is a little different. I use a current injection of about an amp and measure the voltage drop along the trace. This will guide you as to which path to take when the trace forks.

[@jamessimpson4636]

Great work I love your vids. I especial love it when you get a troublesome device fixed and you can see that you are genuinely happy with getting it fixed. It reminds me of something my grandpa used to say “you can teach a man a job and he will work for a living. Or the smart man makes something he loves his career and he will never have to work. He will go to play and get paid for it. Which do you chose?”
