HP Laptop Repair - No power Caused by an Awkward Button Design.

[@jkboyett2]

Low melt solder is one of the best tools ever.

[@imben77]

I do repairs for the secondhand shop I work in. Thanks to your amazing videos, I was able to replace my first HDMI port on an Xbox One S. And you know what? It's now better than factory! Thanks again for posting these videos

[@JockoFlocko]

Another great video. I do a lot of repairs for older amateur radio equipment and stereo HIFI receivers, tape decks, tube type amps, etc (1950's to late 1990's) You wouldn't believe the amount of time saving techniques I've learned over the years watching your video's, they really are excellent educational video's for beginners and advanced techs. I would say your soldering technique above all else has saved me the most time when it comes to getting it right and not having cold solder joints all over the place after finishing a project. Thank you.

[@playharder1435]

Great video. I need that low-melt solder and tiny soldering iron in my life ♂️

[@ThejasonJaw5442]

Great repair Alex good Job

[@MrSethGr]

Now we can say it's better than factory!

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Nice job, this is technology for technologies sake not for better design.

[@robinrufino8244]

6:50 this part got me with the guard off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@imqqmi]

Really awesome you had the offset of the button right at first try! Or was this the 100th laptop with this fault and already knew where to place the button on the pad? One reason for this design could be to prevent users from pressing the button too hard and damage it, though it failed anyway. Or they had an surplus stock of these buttons.

[@Leeum123]

Stole Big Boss's chair in the end 😂

[@ranjitmandal1612]

🤣

[@Ahmad_48]

It looks like the power button on old Nokia devices.😂😂

[@ranjitmandal1612]

Great repair and upgrade

[@timerecaps2834]

HEY ALEX PLEASE TELL US ABOUT IS THE COMPUTER REPAIR BUSSINESS IS DYING ? IN THE NEXT VIDEO

[@thenextension9160]

Always educational

[@alistairblaire6001]

I swear this button design is infamous now lol. Although I didn't realize how absolutely tiny it is.

[@gamersftwonline]

my boy got his face plastered on every video lmao

[@pradeepsookraj-em7gz]

100% better than factory

[@ausseamore8386]

[@MARKLARverklas]

[@mariocinque8588]

Ottimo lavoro complimenti.

[@xlwirelesselectronicrepair]

Salam brother. I had a order last week. Some wick and flux. Still have not been shipped.

[@NorthridgeFix]

All orders ship same day. What's your order number.

[@xlwirelesselectronicrepair]

Order number 222493 I still didn't receive it. And there is no tracking info . Ordered this October 5th

[@rchltmedia]

lenovo and HP sure gets really drunk when designing this

[@lolidasterner414]

My experience on a hp omen. Its the first time i have seen a laptop that powered up by pressing the power button not on the middle , but on the left side. Truly a strange design .

[@maklogetrich2378]

which hp omen is that? isn't it on the keyboard?

[@lolidasterner414]

@@maklogetrich2378 its the one with a nvidia 2060 and 9th gen intel cpu and a 15 inch screen. The button is on the upper left separate from the keyboard.

[@craigshagey9999]

Nice work 👏 👌 👍 💪

[@suryavanshib]

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@kennethrich2107]

Alex, If only I had your skills. Do you by chance, as a side hussle, buy broken electronics cheap, fix and sell at a huge profit? Or is running your shop fixing customers electronics enough? I imagine, enough. My house would be filled with every imaginable electronics out there.

[@KarhamPaints]

I agree that the design is stupid but, as I work in similar situations, it is simply NOT an engineer choice. The designer of the case wanted it that way for aesthetic reasons, and the technical staff must comply. I do that all the time, saying myself this is idiotic but aesthetics >>>>> practical use

[@mlnunnari]

It is 100% an engineer choice. They chose to use a top-down button when they could have used a simple side button. The designer designed it and the engineer over complicated it.

[@KarhamPaints]

@@mlnunnari lol, no.

[@mlnunnari]

@@KarhamPaints he literally just done that in the video.

[@KarhamPaints]

@@mlnunnari what i mean is that there are a ton of reasons for that choice that do not depends on enginnering

[@ranjitmandal1612]

😶

[@dav1dbone]

90 degree tact switch would sort that, Dremel the push switch

[@proaudiorepair]

Awesome

[@didoortiz1048]

better than factory :)

[@crawfordcannon5952]

I know it wasn’t in this repair but can you show how to identify a capacitor value if it has been shorted and there are no label or identical capacitors nearby?

[@TinkeringJohn]

Either look at another identical board and see what the values are, or find a schematic for the board.

[@fathiizzan]

Am I cooked? I got Asus tuff f15 and not even 2 years use already got error 43 on Nvidia 😢😢 tried everything on Software fix, formatting etc and nothing works.

[@jaygerson]

3:10 Need some WD40 on that door

[@deathtrap1976]

Sounded like a horror film from Hammer Studios 😂

[@mafhell2668]

[@chifundokolombo129]

I'm l first here

[@i_am_alen]

Hey I am an engineer, I need to make the design of the power button complicated. :-)

[@FUJISHIR0]

Boycott HP ! Bad pc design , lock printer users After a "security" update, sell inc as it s gold ... I ll never but HP anymore.

[@Colin6712]

What a stupid design why didn't they use your button to start with

[@Respected_Gentleman]

Terrible design, clearly created to create faults.

[@ayushkrishnayadav]

The gay designer

[@Snowmanjoshi]

Engineers are like that they design things which normal people can’t understand

[@you166mhz]

3rd grade engineer design ....
