Laptop not coming on, not charging and no, is not a motherboard fault

Sorin, I suggest you use a lower voltage for finding shorts If the high side mosfet of the Vcore supply is shorted, you would inject 19V directly to the processor and fry it. Just inject 1V or 2V. BTW I purchased a UTI690B IR camera. This is a high definition device for under 300 euros. Highly recommended (with an additional macro lens) Thanks again for your precious videos

[@gorjy9610]

if high side is shorted CPU is already dead, he can't kill it twice. Protection will kick in (unless Sorin removed it before in previous repair ofc :)) in case of short but too late to save any modern CPU.

[@kas262]

@@gorjy9610 Interesting point, thanks. In that case, a shorted Vcore high side mosfet would imply the death of any modern laptop with soldered processor. I am still under the impression that the protection features would detect the shorted high side mosfet and cut the 19V supply _before_ the processor is toasted. Any other opinions on this specific situation ??

[@rossmoodley9407]

The protection provably did detect short on main rail hence the reason laptop not coming on.What is dangerous is to then inject 19V without first checking cpu vcore buck regulator for stuck mosfets eg sending voltage when it should not.If you inject 19v you just destroyed cpu.Start by checking all power rail coils for shorts an if injecting voltage start with lowest value like 0.8vJust my opinion and learnt from a bad experience.

[@shamshadansari1765]

I like how you acknowledge own mistake and this is how we learn.

[@lee8902]

The problem is that he learns on clients devices!! How many devices been return to clients with more damages after applying voltage to find a short??

[@shamshadansari1765]

@@lee8902 Do you have other options to diagnose the fault?

[@lee8902]

@@shamshadansari1765Yes, multimeter!! Of course it takes longer but I'm sure that I would not make more damage. Secondly, you have to unplug/disconnect all the cables from a motherboard and remove it from the case and check mesuarements again. And the last, for the lcd cables I use lcd cable tester to check them

[@gorjy9610]

@@lee8902 everybody learns on clients devices, only if you work with just one type/model of device it can be different.

[@lee8902]

@@gorjy9610 First of all, the name of the channel is “school” so all the viewers think that is the right way to do it!! I wonder who would pay for the screen if it got damaged by applying the voltage to find a short?? Obviously customer!! Believe me, I work with lots of laptops after other “repair” shops who made more damage to clients devices. I agree that all engineers do mistakes, but not all of them pay fo their mistakes. These basics you learn first year but definitely not as a TEACHER who shows how to repair!!!

[@redwinedrummer]

Interesting case! Not the usual places where we would look. Good job!

[@milansobocz8684]

... first what i do in this case is disconnect everything from the board and check if the board starts or not ...

Had a similar issue on another acer not long ago. Webcam had a short and shared same cable as screen. Short not only ruined the cable but also took out the chipset on the MB.

[@salvadortapia5412]

Gracias por compartir!!! Saludos!!!

[@jacekwitkowski247]

I've got similar problem once.. The cable was broken under the hinge. Some tape... done the job.. Best for You.

[@screen-protector]

What I'm doing when devices don't wanna start, is unplug everything that is not needed to boot up / power-up. If that is not working, the next procedure is to reset it if I can, laptops, PCs we can, and other devices with batteries. With laptops and batteries, we don't need an HDD/SSD, or wifi, optical drive, so, I'd disconnect it all. It saved me many times a lot of time :).

[@thegamebot]

Hey, love your video. I just have a quick question Hope u can answer. I recently completed my Repair course and I don't know how to progress further? I don't what to do next and get work/job, or how get some physical Experience. Will be happy if you reply.

[@senkuishigami3884]

I would recommend starting "general repair" e.g screen repairs first and then after you have gotten used to that, you can move onto learning microsoldering. There are plenty of resources online like Sorin's channel which you can learn from. I would reccomend first getting this practical experience. Then if you want to you can find work at a repair shop or start your own repair business. But remember that if you go start your own repair business that there will probably be a lot of competition between you and other repair businesses. Having that practical experience and showing your customers that you are better than another repair shop will encourage them to go to you. Hope this helps!😁

Sorin hello, just that one : is a first mosfet bridged capable of providing erratic information about "battery/sector on"? that laptop switches between both , or sometimes it say put correctly on "sector" . looks like a false contact somewhere, but I suppose I better change that first mosfet (bridged) first is not it ? thanks so much I suppose a yes or a no would be enough ;) BTW I only have those messages on screen with the screen luminosity changing at the same time, but the power supply show no large current change (0.02A ) . Battery correctly charged 99% with the laptop

But Nea Sorin, Wouldn't a thermal camera be significantly cheaper than your helium access point? Wouldnt it be worth it? (i know the access point pays for itself but the camera maybe would also do that by making things more convenient) There are those Seek thermal cameras that you attach to a smartphone for less than 200 pounds, with good resolution and framerate.

[@jujujuoooo]

It's not his shop, he works for them. He talked about it long time ago on the older videos, the owner of the shop is the one to blame.

@@jujujuoooo yeah, he also said in a video not that long ago that he has a slight degree of independence from the owner i won't discuss store politics, just wanted to say there are pertinent thermal cameras on the """cheap""" like that Seek one

[@slavka4633]

Watching briefly, no time for all video as I can not focus as this repair does not make sense. Have you seen short in the cable before? Wrong cable will most likely looks like fume vape and you will smell it. Did you feel connector hot before messing about? You should check cable where it is hot otherwise it is screen or conection to screen. Disassembling of cable seems to me wasted time without checking its temperature.
