Laptop comes on and goes off - This can be a reason - Dell 3310 2 in one laptop repair

[@robertcartier5088]

About the odd camera placement: It's a 2 in 1 laptop, therefore it unfolds and recloses with the screen and keyboard on the outside to make a tablet PC... the camera at the top of the keyboard is now at the back, acting as the back camera on a tablet.

[@robertcartier5088]

@@saamirhussain2515 1) Dude, this is year and a half ago, I don't care... 2) The title says that it is a 2-in-1 laptop... I have a 2-in-1 laptop... It is a laptop AND a tablet - when folded the other way. My explanation is the only reasonable cause for the camera. Sorry, but simple denial of the facts is not convincing... Do you have a better explanation?

[@arsayu]

It’s for back capturing. The screen have double hinges, and also you have rubber feet’s around the keyboard so you should be able to rotate the screen for 360

[@sergelavallee913]

Exactly you bent the cover the other side back of the keyboard like a V and you use the other camera lol!

[@Radek__]

you are the smartass

[@Palmit_]

@nikolayu - thanks! my brain had a bit of a hiccup in the first 30 seconds of the vid.. 🤦‍♂

[@Norrecito]

That's right. Lenovo calls these "Yoga" laptops while HP has the "x360" series. They all have a screen that you can rotate 360°. Because of the different viewing angles, a lot of these laptop come with an IPS screen which is nice.

[@michaelwoode7320]

Duh it's a 2 In 1 when u flip it thats what the camera is for

[@no2thenwo737]

I just re-balled the ddr3 memory chips of a Zenbook Ux461U that would shut itself off. If I had no access to a thermal camera on this job, I would have wasted too much time troubleshooting and be left scratching my head. This was a rare fault on any laptop in my experience. Good video.

[@timecentral3134]

Excellent video!!! These smaller smart jacks (4.5mm as opposed to the traditional 7.4mm) have been used in inspirons for several years now. It's been my experience they have a much higher failure rate than the 7.4mm jacks. Often they don't appear broken or dirty, but the contacts inside the jack have lost their shape and need to be sprung back into place (as you demonstrated). My luck has been mixed - some of the contacts relax and go back to not making contact in a few days to a few weeks. My suspicion is that, as the contacts started to have a poorer connection, the springy contacts would get hot and loose some of their springiness. Your client is very lucky you could fix this... that jack in your videos is Dell Part Number 0Y0YV which is harder to find than other jacks. (note: that computer should turn on with 19v and ground without the battery present... it's turning off after turning on because the battery is just barely above 0%). I haven't seen anyone on youtube but you go into this level of detail. Keep up the AWESOME WORK!!!

[@duplicitousdemocracy2246]

Your commentaries during the videos are really entertaining and also helps viewers understand your thought process in working out the problem. And of course you are absolutely right, it is much more satisfying to fix an issue instead of buying a new part.

[@Oak690]

Nice work as always Sorin. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us! Repair without spending $ on a new part is always a plus.

[@themlotproductions]

It’s great that you get a buzz out of fixing rather than just diagnosing. Well done on this one.

[@PerrynBecky]

The way things are headed, actual repairs instead of replacements might be making a huge comeback. Excellent troubleshooting and repair here.

[@Radek__]

15:37 yeah, fine, but how long? How long does it need, to bring back the same issue again, hmm? That charger port, should be replaced - the plastic inside, which protect against short, is probably cracked or melted.

[@marcellipovsky8222]

I am also sure that this will return after a short while. The material inside looks corroded and has signs of metal fatigue. Port replacement is inevitable.

[@Walkzz_02]

lol that first commentary intro in the video made me laugh a bit, thanks again for teaching us @Electronics Repair School

[@s.mtopaz478]

Thank you for all the help and advice to everyone in this world.

[@benc9059]

oH; that was a very quick logical repair . You are the BEST !

[@Rucio88]

Love your work. Corporations don't want us to have knowledge like that anymore so they can charge us whatever they want. My father in law is just like you. He is into old hi fi systems. He can find faults and repair them. It always amazed me. I admire people like you and my father in law. Great work!

[@onewheelnut]

2 in 1 , maybe the screen folds all the way back on it's self . Love your channel.

[@sadeghsaba2008]

Laptop repair master. very nice work

[@danielrock3119]

I had to fix my laptop today, it just turned off last night. A component near the charge port got hot but it wasn't faulty, it was a capacitor on the other side of the board that was shorted

[@tvelektron]

Nice... but i still would like the port replaced - unsure how long cleaning and bending will last 🤔

[@axellno1759]

The screen can be bent all the way backwards probably when that camera will be the "back camera" of the "tablet".

[@djtongi]

Sorin, this is a two in one device! Laptop and tablet! It has double hinges. You can flip the display over nearly 360 degree, the camera on the Keyboard then works as a back-camera, like on the phone.

[@ognjenjakovljevic494]

They had overstock of camera sensors and were like lets put one there so people will get confused 😁

[@dtvking]

The keyboard camera is used when the screen is folded over and you use an external monitor.

[@smartinfosolucoesemtec]

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@tobiasmangoma9566]

Dell has this charging port problem. I changed a lot of these ports before

[@mccajosk]

"but we have no satisfaction like we fixed something", exactly.... Keep it up. :)

[@-ENIAC-]

you have a Dell laptop and the power supply from HP, the connection is similar but the data cable is connected differently.

[@ablacon64]

That camera is like the back camera of your smartphone, you can take a picture and see in real time on the screen when the laptop is folded as a tablet.

[@Brycereigle2000]

I think the camera is to take pictures of things in front of you, while it is being used in tablet mode. Probably designed for a commercial use.

[@Brycereigle2000]

Basically a rear facing camera for when it is in tablet mode.

[@tanchelm]

That camera it's used by Lidl staff to scan products... :)))

[@laerticomputers]

it is a secondary camera and is used when the laptop is folded, the primary camera its on the screen

[@chriswebb4162]

Another brilliant and entertaining video. Thank you.

[@Frank-Thoresen]

I liked this fault, your analysis and repair

[@Swenser]

It's a spy camera. You are not supposed to know it's there. Well found Sorin.

[@iulianaxinte]

Servus ! Poate fi un senzor care comandă iluminarea display-ului sau dacă tastatura este cu backlight, comandă pornirea iluminării tastaturii.

[@michaellemma7504]

"The camera" is a rare camera for the tablet mode, since the laptop is X360 (2in1)

[@jalalyn]

It’s a 360 screen. It can be used like a tablet. And this camera works when it used like a tablet

[@carlospenalver8721]

You have 3 types of laptop owners,1 are regular who own most 2 are those who think there are spies everywhere who take pictures of you while you use your computer and log into it when you think it’s off to watch you without you knowing and 3-the ones who caught someone or knows how to check if anyone is hacking into their systems and monitoring them, these are the types who would want a laptop like that, all they’ll get is a video or pic of the cieling instead of your family enjoying a day at home or you at the office. No worries, you’re not crazy, the voices in my head said they’re not coming to take me away 🤪

[@Trustsimo07]

Thanks, it’s a light sensor for screen brightening

[@whirlwings]

That camera is meant to monitor lizard activity in your ceiling sorin

[@desmondpkandemiri1971]

you can open the lid and flip the laptop to more of a big tablet, so that's when that camera becomes handy, it will be more of a back camera, just like any other smart phone camera.

[@robertushartono1546]

I believe the camera is for when you use laptop as a tablet, mean you turn the screen 360 degree

[@Mark_C1]

Re: camera placement “We’ve been chasing that ever since, shrinking the camera smaller, talking about our options - every generation we want to get it back top, the technology for cameras hasn’t got small enough to where the border is for our liking.” The obvious follow-up question is when that development might happen, and initially Lyle’s response isn’t encouraging. “When the camera gets down to 2mm, 1.5mm, we’ll absolutely throw it back up top.”

[@KyleSand]

Im guessing ambient light, lid sensor, auto white balance?

[@89Ssik]

13:49 looking at screen, nothing, second he looks under screen on, laptop obviously jebaiting Sorin 😁😁

[@mryanzou]

Hi Sorin - Dell professional laptop sometime use another camera to use like a back camera of a tablet - cause you can fold the laptop completly. Same think for "thoughbook military grade"

[@mryanzou]

2in1 mean it can be use as a tablet mode - it sould be a double hinge, if not some company ask for the modification to have a regular hinge system (less way to break the screen ^^)

[@TheITMechanic]

This second camera means we can fold the laptop and record rear view.

[@MrRvdbeek]

A charger port issue. Nice fix thanks

[@XantheFIN]

Camera lens could be making the trick if made for that angle.

[@LaptopDisassembly]

On the new Huawei laptops the camera is hidden under one of the Fn keys.

[@andyvitz]

Yeah and the reason why that camera is sitting in the keyboard it's cuz when you put it in tablet mode you want the camera a rear-facing camera right

[@tafadzwamusekiwa659]

It's an x360, back camera in tablet mode

[@wisdomwilliams7353]

Good morning am from Nigeria, i have a hp folio when i press power botton it keeps coming and going off

[@AbbySuRuiz]

I have a dell inpiron 7573 that was working perfectly fine n i accidentally dropped it. Now it like sounds like its gonna turn on n immediately tuts off a few secs later. I already got a new batteries both reg n cmos, new charger cord n port, checked on the ram memory cards but still nothing... what could be wrong 😭😭😭😭😭

[@ronlevin2339]

it is so nice that charging port is not soldered to the mother board

[@tsedalt.lombebo9472]

wow, what perfect troubleshooting!

[@yeabzerdemesie8769]

My Hp Laptop is a bit older but it comes on displays dell and then shuts down, what should I look for??

[@wenpyle]

keyboard can fold all the way to the back and turn into tablet and camera then is front and the one one the lcd is the back

[@retrocomputinggrotto]

After unplugging the CMOS battery and the main battery, something appears to be shorted with a pair of tweezers - are there some pads that need shorting to reset the BIOS or are the pins of the BIOS battery being shorted to speed up the process somehow?

[@Documentare684]

[@romanb.6905]

The dodgy camera is a "secret component" from Dell.

[@gordthor5351]

Is it a finger print reader?

[@kpelectronics]

yep, that is so, you can put the screen facing you and you have the camera bahind

[@xzoli8]

I think so, you can rotate like a lenovo yoga, open it wide i reverse V shape this way like an A thus you need the camera on the keyboard side in front of you.

[@GlishaSo]

ITS 180degr laptop so its back camera when you flip it >?

[@Mr.FrankDavid]

I like your screwdriver Where can I get it

[@lijojose3462]

Hi...my Lenovo ideapad c340 boots up after a delay of 56 seconds every time. The lenovo logo shows up only after 56 seconds after I press the power button. Otherwise it works perfectly fine. What could be the problem?...thnks

[@laidman2007]

Good find!

[@iSLAMUNITED-y5r]

SORIN is the best

[@Iamsuccesspro]

It's not a camera, it's a light sensor?

[@Zxcabcdefghitesagh1]

Hello sir I have a problem of my laptop after 10minutes on it will automatic shutdown and when u turn it on back it goes on and off. Is it ok to ask u what's the possible problem? Thank u

[@candabi]

It could be a fingerprint reader, not a camera. Good example not allways are dificult fixings. One more interesting video from the master, thank you.

[@kotosqoposrly]

What did you use to clean the charging port?

[@Documentare684]

[@Laptofix_]

This is back camera sir It's need when it folded

[@CayoBuay]

2 in one laptop ... Can be used as a tablet so can turn into a back camera in tablet mode.

[@NvArya]

Make video on witch tools you use normally like your multimeter, workstation 😶‍🌫️

[@jayeshfernando1039]

He already have a video on same few years back.

[@demarbrown2673]

It can be folded in half like a tablet.

[@boardfix9374]

it's a rear camera because it's x360 pc/and tablet = 2 in1 means

[@NRop-md4cd]

Anyone can help with this? My laptop is Dell G3 15 windows 10 .. when i press power button the BIOS screen [the black screen that is supposed to have the word Dell in the middle] is all black with white parts on the edges of the screen, and it keeps like that for few seconds and the windows log in normally, the screen is all good, all videos and game work properly. I cannot do anything in the BIOS system, i cannot install a new windows cuz i cannot see what is in the BIOS screen.

[@benc9059]

It*s for spying the user, that camera 1

[@tarek3006]

Thanks sorin

[@ootyguy9805]

But what's the guarantee that this fix is going to last? the inside looks pretty bad, water damage could have rusted the pins, i am guessing this fix is not going to last very long, proper fix would be to replace the socket

[@videomaker811]

What a awkward camera placement. At the keyboard area.🤣 the dell xps 9560 maybe slightly better camera still aot the screen but at the bottom side.🤣

[@Crystalservices]

Wow another video.

[@pirelli77]

I think it is a fingerprintsensor OR lightsensor. And yes, it is better to repair than to quickly buy spare parts, that gives satisfaction, i understand you very well Sorin!!☺

[@christopherjackson2157]

I don't understand the camera. It makes no sense

[@milo.ibanez]

[@systemsandbunnies]

The screen rotates 360⁰, tablet and PC mode..

[@Lecitter]

[@rakibhossen49]

It fold like a tab and at that time it will use ad a back camera

[@Dragunov1111]

When its in tablet mode it has what they call "world faceing camera".

Maybe the laptop can be standed as a triangul

[@surajcomputersdelhincr]

[@ciprianpeica85]

is a 360 laptop turns into a tablet

[@de1genius]

It’s an x360 laptop so that’s a rear facing camera

[@hippynurd]

Im only 2 minutes into the video, so im not sure if he figured it out yet, but 2 in 1 means that its a laptop and its a tablet. The giveaway is those crazy hinges that allow the screen to fold back onto itself. That makes the keyboard the back of the computer, and that camera is the tablets camera, not the laptops camera. It should have touch screen, and it may have a stylus that pops out if you press it.

[@a-techglobal1734]

u made me laugh about camera lol

[@jessertuyor1626]

I hope i can meet someone like this guy within our city. I really want my laptop to be checkked cause its turning off automatically. The other technician here said its within the board
