HP Spectre x360 Laptop Repair - Not charging or powering on & both USBC ports not working

[@NorthridgeFix]

The chip at 11:16 was re-adjusted after realizing one of the two ports was not vworking. It had the wrong orientation

[@kalentonggaming7093]

I was just going to comment and ask this. Because of the pin 1 in the first chip marker and the 2nd chip pin marker are the same place. Good job as always sir. Keep up the good and awesome work.

[@ashleynery8092]

did the chip still work? or did you have to replace it again?

[@HazeAnderson]

I saw it flip *right* before you got it down on the board. I could do nothing to help! 😅

[@EvPv]

was just about to comment on that

[@kpelectronics]

Oh, I just sow the video, dint see this coments about it. Jajajaja good job anyway!!

Thank you for continuing to share (in detail) knowledge-making changes, and the way people think - inspiring us to repair.

[@electronicengineer]

I agree with your sentiments 100%. This man goes out of his way to share his hard earned knowledge with us. He work is commendable. Fred

[@Happyoldfashionfamily]

Only a business owner understands. Even though you may only get $65 for a repair attemp, you are still not only not making money but losing money. Glad you got it working.keep up the great work.

[@hightttech]

Very Nice, NF 👍. HP should take notice that that YOU have those chips IN STOCK. It's not by accident; on the contrary, it's because you've learned how your regular patients make trouble for their users. Very efficient.

[@aelaan12]

I really wonder why HP is not watching these repairs and make product improvements. I mean, you have clearly so much experience with these that identifying the possible faulty parts is going to be a "yup, again the same chips". I know two KZbin channels praise the HP to the heavens and back, they are just manufactured laptops with all the same quality control issues other laptops have.

[@stefanlechner]

Very nice job, as always. You done it👍 btw now i know i would never buy this hp spectre. Its really often you had to fix this model and its always one of the same two problems. Nice work

[@Alan_Skywalker]

I usually add a small amount of solder on the pads and gently tap the four corners and the center of the chip when it's being reflowed. Sometimes some pads on the board are still quite cold or covered by flux residue when being reflowed, the extra solder and taps will make sure that nothing is blocking the balls.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Maybe a silly question, but why didn't you place new solder on the pads under the chip at 11:15 ? Is it because there was enough solder on the underside of the chip? 😁😁 Thanks!

[@KindaCharming]

I have one of these laptops with the same issue. How do we ship it to you for repair, and what’s the normal cost for this repair?

[@pizzel]

i always love your vidoes, ive learnt alot over the last year. be blessed.

[@alialali8891]

Despite the difficulty of the language, but I follow you

[@ldiazmdiaz]

When you remove each chip did you re-check for shorts on those caps?

[@cybermaus]

And why not desolder/check the caps first, like usual.

[@tundeanimashaun477]

am also curious with the same question

[@markwilliam3162]

another great video cheers wales uk

[@asnamonir97]

Thank you very much I always follow you

[@Nasoj0Tnek]

I got mine to start charging again by pure luck. I was testing voltage going to the usb ports and randomly tested a mosfet/transistor and got the 19v on the meter, and I noticed when the mosfet was contacting ground it started charging. This must have woke up other parts that had previously shut down to protect the board and from then forward I now have one usb port working. I guess I triggered the mosfet/transistor to start functioning normaly by connecting it to ground, I dunno but it still has one power ic dead. I'll hope it continues to work and leave it be, one's enough...

[@NarcisAlin1]

Hmm ..no doubt that the laptop wouldn't work !!Awesome like always

[@shadowarez1337]

[@andreward8510]

[@optimizelogicrepair2784]

I have a Dell XPS with same chips, but three of them. One of the ports was at 5V, and the PP_HV line was short. I replaced the chip and now have 19.8V on all 3 ports but laptop still not turning on. I wonder if I need to change that other big chip on my board too. Didn’t find any shorts around it.

[@rayeeskhan127]

Awesome work sir 👍

[@deanrott9973]

We have a HP Spectre x360 15-bI012dx and it would only charge to 1% on a new battery so I thought it was the battery and replaced it, but now it doesn't even turn on. The computer has the green light when the power cord is plugged in and also we get the green flashing light when we press the start button on the side.

[@skeptisk1]

Hi boss! Can you talk about What you are charging for the repair Jobs? And Why are you using a batterybank and not a powersupply?

[@henriquepereira4058]

It will work from a master

[@railfail]

Quick question: Are the solder balls on the BGA ICs supplied as leaded or unleaded? I doubt there is an option, but interested to find out.

[@cfamozcomputermetropolis7191]

Amazing stuff. Point blank

[@jaquelineborrazmx8328]

Where can I get the ports? My hp sorcerer is having the same trouble. It doesn’t turn on if there’s no extra electricity

[@elenium115]

What light you are using for your microscope? You doesn't have reflection I'm fighting with now.

[@sevagtankabalian91]

My friend great job out there, may i ask if you trust the provider of the chips,especially that in some case these ics can be faulty and time consuming to replace them more than one time👍

[@nawledge4pwr]

When putting the chips back on, how do you get solder onto each pad before you heat up the top of the chip to make it stick?

[@spcrxj]

May I ask where do you get those large chip from? many thanks

[@davebone3474]

Excellent videos, I am learning a great deal from them. Any idea when shipping costs are going to improve.

Hi, you do a great work, i love your videos. Just one question: How are you sure that the chip is in place with all these connections under? You just put it in place by the lines or is it something else?

[@Chris-mn7yy]

HP should be ashamed to sell the shit that they currently sell. We manage 4500 devices, mostly Elitebook range, there is nothing Elite about them, they're utter junk. Also, here in the UK, HP's support is dreadful. We will be going back to Dell at our next refresh.

[@spitefulwar]

HP Notebooks beyond Elitebook / Zbook ranges are just bad. At my last workplace (mind you not electronic repair shop, just MSP) we had several Spectre, Envy and Omen Notebooks that my Ex-Boss had sold before we made him take those from the portfolio die, often just after the 1 year warranty period. For those we sold with extensions they also died between 1 and 2 years of use. HP had the entire logic boards replaced and as to my current knowledge (not working there anymore) at least a couple of those repaired notebooks died within another year again. If people want to get an HP notebook and are shooting for the lowest level / entry level you can actually make a good bargain with HP 250 G7s but it seems like anything in between entry level and professional level notebooks at HP is not up to the job. The kicker: a refurbished 840 G2 is in the same price range as the 250s and usually has proven for several years that it would not break down after some "light" office use.

[@Shogoeu]

I wonder if Asus is not acknowledging this, could it be planned obsolescence?
