@ChrisPavlides8 ай бұрын
80£ to fix a laptop that doesn't turn on. Fixing the 4GB Memory Module it was free of charge. Same idea, if a laptop comes with frozen bios and need 1 minute work. You charge a laptop that doesn't turn on, not a frozen bios. In the other way, you have to work like 3-4 hours to fix a laptop and get paid 80£, this is also something that happens to our job. Get used to it.

"Coming from a local repair shop", imagine being a computer repair shop and not being able to diagnose a dead ram module, something that in this case costs 10€ brand new and with warranty. It's literally one of easiest things to diagnose since you can pop a good module in to test it. Computer clearly turns on and they write "no power". If the client asks why he's being charged 80 pounds for something so cheap they'll say "you pay for our years of experience and knowledge", not that they needed to send the machine to someone else. Enough with the rant, good job as always Sorin.

The guy paid 80 pounds specifically because of their lack of experience and knowledge. If they actually knew what they were doing they would have correctly diagnosed the ram and replaced it. That's why you should never take faulty items to noobs or cowboys.

Soldered a jumper wire to the other side and now RAM works perfect. I almost gave up and replaced it with a new one but this video just gave my RAM a little extra life. THANK YOU SORIN!!

Logic would also state to try the repaired ram in the ORIGINAL socket. This is where it was when it came in, and this is where the water damage likely occurred, so it would make sense to also ensure it works (no doubt it would work!) in the OG socket. This would also prevent a 'come back' if the customer puts a stick in that socket and it fails. Again the testing of the OG socket would be purely for video footage as I'm sure it would work without issue. Great video Sorin!

Love your videos. Wish you were around when I worked in electronic repair. Hey one thing I dont get is why dont you use fiber pens to clean up tarnished contacts or to get ready for soldering. They do a much better job than scraping with a metal probe. The solder has a better surface to adhere to as well.
