Thanks for going the extra mile. At least many people learned more today 😀 that is priceless

[@lucataszarek8782]

Hello🤝well, replacing the port did not bring the expected result, but it is always a good learning material, best regards👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋

[@AndreiCJ88]

Lenovo has an issue o Thinkpads with USB-C charger. They fixed it with a BIOS update. But if you don't do the BIOS update, the charger shorts the motherboard, aka the chipset. We have a lot of those laptops with that issue at the shop I work at. And most people don't know about that. It's stupid.

[@fosteralphar5162]

Nice observation so please how is that problem solved?

[@morphingsomething5203]

@@fosteralphar5162 He say "BIOS Update".

[@KellySimonsson]

Wasn't it specifically the Thinkpads with Thunderbolt firmware? You'd had to install the newer firmware to make it stop this self destructive behavior like they had with the old bad firmware. It basically killed the EEPROM for the controllers. I own a T480s which also suffered with this kinda thing. Luckily I had experienced this with a customers computer so the very first thing I did was flashing the Thunderbolt firmware for my specific model. This only apply to models that actually had thunderbolt though.

[@morphingsomething5203]

@@KellySimonssonThank you for your very specific information.. :D

[@hedpt]

if that's true, Lenovo should get the devices back and replace it with other, im not buyng lenovo again!

Thanks for the review! Have a nice day!!!

Remember when ThinkPads weren't garbage with USB-C charging ports? My X201 is still going strong.

[@Doman2000]

Same here too, x201 survives everything.

I've learned from those videos to keep away from HP, Dell Alienware and Lenovo laptops.... it's like they have a junk motherboards

[@IFIXCASTLES]

Have a great family time!!

[@Geothotz]

Is it just me or does anyone zone out and just relax when you watch ? This is like my asmr without being my asmr

[@brucewalker1908]

Thank you for the video. It was great.

[@thebreaker551]

You should test it before work!

[@MFSE7EN]

That's unfortunate. But with that sound I already knew the motherboard was faulty. Back in the day when I worked at a Lenovo partner, we'd replace the motherboard and all was fine. But I guess this one is out of warranty.

[@DIYRepairHour]

I had a laptop not long ago with damaged USB-C port - dropped whle charging. Removed the port from MB, started measuring around. CPU shorted. My guess? 19V went straight to a data line.

[@alejandrom.692]

Sorin, can i ask for probe laptop with usb-c charging port before fnirsi what do you have? Power supply with usb out? Thank you so much. Me encanta su canal 😊. Gracias!

[@GlishaSo]

so many people these days are like "its only charging port" to get price low for fix but its mess or dead laptop like this just wasted your time :(

[@pieteboe]

big fat ty for the content

[@OKTAYAlizadeh]

Did one today, and same result, battery not charging, not pulling any amp, maybe some fuse or diode somewhere blown

[@andrzejyczewski4045]

Hi Sorin, Recently I have found a polish youtuber who > If CPU is shorted and resistance is 0 ohm then he uses compressed air upside down to freeze the CPU and the resistance raises for a time being. Then he confirms it's short for sure. Can you test this trick?

[@vladutlita1689]

Perfect Charging Port Replacement...!!

[@markmurphy9280]

Nevermind, cant win them all, very good video of charger socket replacement though, Keep smiling 😊

[@michaelmiroyan2365]

Hi, Maybe you have a video with Dell inspiron 15z 5523 7 beep error?

[@retrocomputinggrotto]

WOW - I did not know Lenovo had a Diagnostic App for error/beep codes!

[@user-wy3ke1ly7o]

sir Sorin i see placements of the graphic card and its RAMs are they by default or the chips are taken out?

[@MFSE7EN]

Hi Sorin, I remember in another video you said when the battery is faulty, some laptops nowadays are not coming on even with the power supply. Do you know which make or model that applies to? Because I have two HP Elitebook x360 830 G6 that both turned off while working in Windows and they are not turning on anymore. Just the capslock key is lighting up, I think. Maybe they need a new battery?

[@stellataylor9326]

Personally, I have an Asus Vivobook 15 M513U which is not turning on without the battery, but don't know about HPs. You said, the caps is blinking... Actually you should look after, what that error code means

[@MFSE7EN]

Yes, I can do that when I have time. However I already ruled out everything except the motherboard and the battery@@stellataylor9326

Why they make the CPU´S no more replaceable? Also on the expensive ones?!

[@elijahlee3486]

I have a laptop that has no charging light or power but everywhere I check has 19v. does anyone know what the problem could be? I also replaced the dead CMOS battery and charging port

[@PracticalKnow]

Sorin, can I ask why you chose the Amscope SM-4TP? Was there a particular feature you liked on that one as compared to something like the Amscope SM-4NTP? Also when you change magnification do you find you have to raise or lower the head to keep it in focus?

[@electronicsrepairschool]

Not sure what SM-4TP means, i spoke with amscope customer chat, i told them my requirements and they recommend this microscope. Yes i have to lower or rise when i zoom

[@PracticalKnow]

@@electronicsrepairschool Thank you for the response Sorin. I'm about to acquire a new microscope from amscope and your feedback is helpful.

[@johnmaloma7623]

Hi Sorin what is the name of syringe using on Flux

[@user-bh1tj8df3l]

Dell and Lenovo. In that order, that's how this started for me. I don't know how to work with devices I don't know under pressure (time and/or customer pressure), so I personally went to auctions for damaged laptops and bought several of these two brands. With the passage of time and with a thermal camera: Chipset, GPU, CPU running hottest? Ugh. Another way to say it: Can you check my drone? Sorry, NO at the moment (an answer that the client will not like but is unchanged at this time). PS: Motherboards used or second-hand, e-Bay? Amazon? Well, we all think differently, my workshop cannot depend only on fixing laptops.

nice vid

[@raftt8050]

Lol at least the costumer can have a charged battery 🤣🤣🤣

[@mikanikolic1976]

the customer followed the description from the application, he disconnected everything, which means that he knew about the defect

[@KeiLin11]

Lenovo is not a nice laptop anymore.

[@verpejas]

you literally never learn from your mistakes. If you are so lazy to take the board out fully, at least unscrew its holding screws so that the board is not being under stress when you put in that thermal pad. What if the laptop was working but your shoddy soldering job caused the usb data pins to short with power/ground/together? That can easily cause the bahaviour we see in the video - broken PCH, as the usb ports are handled by the pch chipset. If you had spent 5 more minutes to remove the board you could've spotted if there were any shorts in the area you worked on. Also, PCH's should never be pasted with thermal paste, that is common knowledge, that the PCH operates at lower temperature than the cpu, and putting thermal paste on it bridges the pch to a heatsink that is hotter, thus heating it up, which may result negatively in the long-term usage. This is basic knowledge for all intel platforms since gen 4. Also you should've measured the chokes/coils before your repair - if the shorted usb lines killed the pch, we could at least rule out other possibilities of failure.

[@vincentrigby5611]

If a duck don't look like a duck more a frog then why replace is it because you are Able to test that its doing same job as duck ?. 😢great anyway 👍

[@orange11squares]

sometimes a duck can do the same things as a chicken , eggs...etc. In this case it worked fine, problem was the cpu defective.
