Not every device can be saved. Good to share these too, because of awareness for everyone. For being "out of gas" you are still very positive. :)

[@the_equalizor]

I managed to replace both USB-C ports on my friends Spectre 15 inch. I don't think I could have done it without watching a couple of your port replacement videos.Low melt solder for the win! Thank you.

Alex, thanks for sharing this attempted fix. But when you reach a conclusion about a particular problem, wisdom dictates to stop, and call it non-repairable. Realistically speaking, professional choice of action. Thank you 🤓

How do you know which side of the capacitor should be ground and which one is positive?

[@frankreiserm.s.8039]

I love it when you can't fix something because I frequently can not fix electronics. Please do some videos without speeding through the microsoldering because I stink at microsoldering and need to see it in real time. Frank Frank Reiser Video/Audio Service

Ah be hocam.ilk yapmanız gerekn tekniği çipi değiştirdikten sonra yaptınız.bu tür arızalarda kısa devre olan komponenti veya çipi bulmak için kısa devre gözüken kapasitörün + ucuna max 1.8v vererek kısa devre olan malzemenin ısınmasını bekliyorum.benim gün kaynağım sabit 3A akım vermekte.bu da kısa devre olan malzemenin ısınmasını sağlamakta.1.8 volt vermemin sebebide piyasadaki çiplerin genelde 1.8volt ve üstünün besleme voltajı olduğu yüzden.gidip 3.3v verirsem ve çip eğer 1.8v ile çalışıyorsa o çip meftâ olur :)

That's why i love old motherboard, we can change the CPU easily

[@majong_da]

It's not actually cpu problem. It's Hub or PCH. Newer laptop have PCH and cpu combined on 'cpu PCB' - it's two chips now(or one if it AMD Ryzen or anything)

It makes no difference, probably just a habit.

In continuity mode there's no difference, but in diode scale it needs to be so in order to measure correctly

25 years ago the cpu was the last thing that would fail.... but have seen a few over the last few years and all have been soldered in :/

[@konsehfelembomrex5839]

Thanks for the repair sir. Please what temperatures do you use in in desoldering chips.? I'm new to microsoldering Cameroon

[@thebristolbruiser]

Just practice and see what works for you with your equipment. Generally around 400-450 degrees on a preheated board is sufficient. I think the melting temperature for lead-free solder is around 210 degrees. So you want to be much hotter than that. But just get some dead or useless boards and practice removing and replacing components. The only real way to get a feel for this is to do it yourself.

[@josepeixoto3384]

@@thebristolbruiser I like the idea of practicing on junk boards first, thanks.

A handling fee basically so people don't bring garbage over and over, $20, 40$ whatever applies to your area.

[@EdahTarik]

Does he put the red probe on tgebpositive side of the cappacitor

[@94mac]

Red probe on ground

[@majong_da]

for some reason I'm not surprised. The Thunderbolt has 20 volts at its disposal and is controlled by the Hub. so if something cheaper or faulty is connected to the laptop's thunderbolt port, there is a high probability that 20 volts will hit the Hub. R.i.p

Please do a video of replacing a TDK 404 Mems Mic (or similar) as the only 3 videos on the web show how to heat it up from the bottom. Some boards have components on the bottom stopping you from doing that! Can you be the first to create a video that shows the temps and other specs to properly replace a mems mic on a very closely populated board? Would be a nice video that does not exist!

[@em0_tion]

@@ps0freak General advice - be a fan of a specific product, not a brand. Brand loyalty is a no-no. It's a good starting point, but never a guarantee. Try a different technique, try a different product and/or brand as well. You can't argue with real-life results. "Truth is in the pudding." 👍

You mistake bro..why did you remove the ic.. If i where you,you must be inject voltage first..

[@misfortune5007]

You showed that the cpu is getting hot in between the silicone chips. What are the chances that a reball will fix the problem ? Slim to none ! It mai actualy be a short inside the board of the cpu. In any case, a reball is time consuming as it is and you need a dedicated stencil. Is it worth it? NO! You can't guarantee that the balls will stick to the pads. I recently seen a video on people killing cpu's by mishandling of gallium thermal paste. That thing is conductive and who know if it can be removed in the ultrasonic bath.
