Razer Book (2020) - Screen flex cable repair - a common issue, a hard repair

[@jomarieadlawan4176]

Many technician would have said no, but Sorin never even think twice. What a legend!

[@Ingatkamote]

I know you are a Filipino, many technician here in PH, said Yes. But you will recieve a more damage device that cannot be repaired by other technician. 🤣

[@jerryhan9668]

first thing about finding out the problem of flex cable , then you cannot buy one on any site. I give up on this job, but MASTER SORIN has a lot of patience, with the proper tools and of course SHAKE FREE HANDS, he did the most impossible job of fixing flex cable, unbelievable, then THATS CRAZY, WE HAVE PICTURE.... Congratulations for a job well done. Pizza is coming.

[@rivciks5045]

I would like also to fix my ribbon cable in such way but my hands are shaking like crazy

[@ronaldpickett5133]

WOW! Like watching a neurosurgeon! You have skill my friend!

[@boolfnasa2582]

SORIN I wish you were a medical surgeon, you would hav done miracles to humanity. This should not be categorized as repairs, a new word should be added to the dictionary for this thing. How you can put a hot soldering iron on a flexible ribbon cable without melting and messing the whole thing, leave alone adding a dust of solder and welding a hair-wire to it, and repeat that over and over again, Please make a video only on this explaining the temperature used, the type of wire and solder etc., Please Please.

[@breakthru3000]

When I saw the damage of that cable I stopped the video an read the title again. And again. I could'nt believe that the title said "repair". Are you crazy ? What's to repair here? This is pure madness. You have extraordinary patience, Sorin. But you're also a little crazy at the same time :)) Awesome repair, man, awesome. Standing ovation!!!

[@isaiasprestes]

Sorin using his full dodge skills on this repair! Amazing!!! MacGyver medal!!

[@JoeBlogs720]

No sane person would attempt this crazy fix, Sorin is fearless !

[@chronically_late]

I just ripped one of the panel flex cables on a Samsung TV while replacing the backlight. I actually found your video/channel while searching for tips on repairing that cable. Thank you for sharing and you got a new subscriber!

[@radekradek9931]

I rarely write comments but your skills are crazy, I know how much patience it takes to repair such a flex, and you do it like soldering a regular cable. Good job!

[@sxaccess2011]

The work of a true master. When I saw that cable I was like, "NO WAY he's fixing this one"...I was wrong! 👏

[@frankmormando3917]

Holy f? No way would I attempt that. Repair of the highest order. You are very skilled Sorin. Thank you 🙏

[@cfq.tufanuf7601]

Respect on this one Sorin!.... I've been reparing electronic goods for 30 years and when I seen this one even I thought that one's a skip job. Nice job!

[@PD-fc3og]

You sir are my drug of choice! I get a high when you say: "WE HAVE PICTURE!!!! THAT'S CRAZEEEE." It always makes my day and I'm a happy chappy. Keep up the miracle fixes / cures for many years to come. Wunderbar.

[@Nexkg]

Amazing! I mean how this is even possible!? Bravo Sorin!👏

[@radio-ged4626]

I have to admire your patience, ingenuity and skill. I have tried on a number of occasions to repair ribbon cables with only limited success. Never anything of that construction and size. I'm impressed.

[@deejaymorph]

You're the most charming repair guy ever 🙏♥️

[@user.fedorman]

Absolutely incredible, Sorin's level of technical skill is insane

[@parawizard]

Absolutely disgusting repair! Nice one. I've repaired holes in these ribbons with conductive ink + poking hole to the trace. This was on a Razer Blade 15 keyboard cable.

[@DarkGT]

Mad skills as always. The proper repairs fix things, not just swap parts. We can only admire this man's dedication.

[@solomonmwala9412]

You’re a genius Sorin. This is one of the most insane advanced soldering skills I have ever seen! Solomon Watching you from Zambia!

[@MattyEngland]

Sorin should start extra work as a dentist.... "Say hello to my little friend" 😂

[@luminousfractal420]

id take him over all the dentists ive had in the last 20years 😂

[@MattyEngland]

@@luminousfractal420 haha, same.

[@5nowChain5]

Honest to god, he would make far more money and have thousands of happy customers in the UK looking to book a service.

[@berberger4814]

I think I would only go one time to this dentist and then have ptsd 😂

[@cba3135]

“now that is a proper dodgy repair”

[@moulyjeanlouis7302]

Trop fort Sorin!!!! super réparation!!!et Bocoups de patience!!!!

[@uaalien]

This video deserves billions of views! Let’s bump it to the top 5!

[@Tom-pd4oc]

You are the doctor of computer repair. Outstanding job.👏👏👏

[@ovidiuovidius]

O operație excepțională ! Sir Sorin is it neurochirurg . Muncă de chinez bătrân. ❤❤❤ 👏👏👏👏👏🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

[@MikeB_UK]

Sorin, you are a legend! If anyone reading has ever tried this themselves then they may appreciate just how amazingly skillful this repair is. Very few technicians would attempt this, they would just tell the customer "sorry, you can't buy the cable, you need another screen. " Amazing work. What I never understand when I see videos like this is how the hell did it get like this and who kept that damage quiet when they had done it?

[@Olympiakos-v2q]

I will say it again, this was neurosurgeon's operation. We should call you Dr Sorin!!!

[@kostasantoniadis5451]

Nice repair. It takes lots of patience and confidence. As we speak, somewhere in China, a worker is secretly sending the design of a flex cable to a near by factory.

[@ziaddassoum]

Anyone else would drop and skip this repair, but Sorin !!!! Magnificent as usual

[@mryanzou]

Wow nice repair, i should say Extraordinary repair ! good job Sorin !

[@john_Jean-Marc_JMP5184]

wow, what a masterpiece you've just accomplished Sorin.

[@edwinramos4466]

Proper calibrated flex cable lines!! Thanks, respect for your skills master!!

[@rodsco357]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! Plus my favorite instrumental.

[@adelinbloa5441]

Sir you are specialist of soldering stay blessed.

[@tarek3006]

You are definitely a master at this work man 👍👍👍

[@8500gtNvidia]

Unbeliveble job Master Sorin!!!!! Northridge can lear here!!!! Fantastic job 1000 level dexterity

[@venerandarain3]

i can see some rubber layer between shield and the track. not plastic but Rubber, and also cant wait longer for the silver laptop you show at the closing repair. 😬

[@everyhandletaken]

To use your saying "that's crazy"... cannot believe you managed to repair that. Genius.

[@散淡-x7c]

在买不到配件时才会这么搞 ，但在活动部位这么搞厉害了。不懂外语 ，不知是十么胶水 ？ 佩服大师的耐心和细心。

[@andrewwturner]

That was a really neat application of kapton tape and hot glue, good job.

[@Bruuhhhhhh]

proper impressive repair It was nerve wracking to see how frail the tracks on that flex were

[@uttamx2016]

Customer must had highlighted the cable issues . Great job by Sorin

[@duplicitousdemocracy2246]

A wonderful, skillful repair Sorin. Great technical repair by the master.

[@tinkmarshino]

The heart surgeon of the electronic world.. I am very impressed!

[@crawfordpritchard9604]

Just goes in for an FPC repair like it's nothing. Nightmare to find FPC cables sometimes so this is a great repair job. seriously good skills and patience. Love this channel 💖💖

[@klaidasrunele]

Thanks for sharing the process! I have a family member whose laptop ahs experienced the same issue but its so jarring there is no way for me to easily fix this without learning some kind of micro soldering.

[@kepler104]

Amazing job Sorin! No one would do this job, you are great!

[@paolomonai9511]

🎉🎉🎉 ...simply the best! Impressive job. A mix of patience, dexerity, steady hands, experience. Waiting for the second one😂😂😂regards from Italy.

[@paulmendes9315]

There is a special conducting tape for this work which just conducts vertically and not horizontally so you just need to apply tape on the damaged cable.

[@FreeWhilly734]

Must say I think that was the hardest repair I've watched. Pretty sure 99% of people would walk away from that one. Well done 🎉. Crazy how big are those tracks 0.5mm?

[@venerandarain3]

Almost 1 week sorin has no Update, hopefully hes ok, stay healthy Sir Sorin.

[@mharszkietv]

great job sir salute on you in every problem always analyzing before you take risk,

[@GregM]

Reminds me of some MacBook flexgate repairs. This is a known issue with these Razer Blade laptops and this cable tearing due to opening and closing the screen.

[@elmostafakarrat6764]

Well done, Professor. I swear the technician is happy when he fixes things. I swear I was happy when the screen worked.

[@Socal_fix]

Sorin always surprises. Great job!

[@lucymc0191]

great repair sorin you saved the customer again as always .....

[@saltcityrepairs5121]

I envy the precision of your hands Sorin. impressive Maestro 👌

[@bigrichrodriguez335]

Sorin is the man! Got several people hooked on your mad skills. Thanks for another great video and full proper repair again!

[@BootedTech]

You are braver than me, that would be a no fix or new cable, considering the chop chop previous job.

[@ravindraadapa2952]

Sir you are not only fixing things but inspiring all to learning a lot from good knowledge you sir really it's a good time for me 🎩

[@VenkatesanS]

I thought you will give up when I see the damage. Great work.

[@seankirby2580]

Unbelievable skill. I'm very impressed.

[@paulcalman5509]

OMG - not many peeps would try to repair this - high five!

[@mm0077]

I have the experience of this many times but you made it look easy Lol. For the audience trust me that is not easy LOL. Job well done.

[@nesanexenergysystems4991]

Astonishing repair. I take my hat off to you…

Brilliant repair Sorin thanks for sharing, I would of just sent it back

Excellent job Sorin.

that was a insane repair, respect

[@genomamastering4777]

Insane repair!!!! Increíble

[@BasicComputerRepair]

I have never completed a repair on a flex cable like that. I have tried but gave up, accidentally scraped away tracks, cut, try again.... This was a very hard repair.

[@loverboykimi]

Good surgery Mr. Sorin.

Hey, no fair using magic! This is next level stuff right here.

[@cod4Rlp]

Sorin, I've just done a similar repair. It took me probably 6 hours straight! Although I had about 15 connections to do. Can you tell me where you got the wire for the repair and what are you using as a dispenser? It doesn't seem to be enamelled. Happy to purchase from you on your ebay shop.

[@blackdotkiller1]

Excellent Video 👏well done Sorin 👌

[@kmclash1835]

That's crazy! 😄Good job, Sorin!

[@terrygee210]

Outstanding work. How many other fixers would go the extra mile like this, and have the skill to do so?

[@hosseindehghanpoor836]

that was a proper high cost job, too many calibrated wires were used ... :)), you are perfeccctttt

[@aaaaaaa1]

A skilled technician requires a steady hand, meticulous attention to detail, and the right instruments just as a surgeon uses essential tools like scalpels, forceps, and surgical scissors to perform intricate procedures.

[@pp3v42_g3h]

That middle layer is rubbery, probably easier to remove it with the iron. Or you can do it from the front too, but the flex stays more rigid if the glued part stays and you only remove the rubber side. Anyways, nice. Oh and you missed that pink tape that keeps the cable from rubbing on the case, kapton tape would work too.

[@prinztv24]

What a job, we have picture. Superb surin

[@adaniel69]

[@berrywin]

Incredible repair kudos. The industri should be ashamed you can't buy this cable! It's time for the lawmakers to force a change!

i wonder why all the tech channels like ltt and GN don't get all upset with the anti repair behaviours @@CaribbeanParadise-cn3sy

[@luminousfractal420]

theyre forcing right to repair in europe. but apple have gone very quiet and i expect are pumping billions into removing those laws.

[@luminousfractal420]

​​@@CaribbeanParadise-cn3sy thats what razer do. theyre a marketing company not a hardware company. they started out selling mice that caused a whole latency drama on windows, the sensor chip used onboard virtualization to offer more frequencies, which meant it caused latency on the sensor itself, they blamed everone in the worlds pc's, and kept deleting the link to the info id share about the sensor. they caused the whole 90's mouse lag thing. (which eventually got hardcoded by microsoft with windows 7> in the usb stack. the microsoft whitepapers explain the new usb stack causes latency and therefore windows is no longer suitable for medical use. thats why your doc and likely your hospital is still using vista with no security. bill gates doing us a solid. but yeah..razer suck. always did. gimmick brand.

Beautiful work. I love to see it.

[@JustInspiredKent]

Insane that Razer refuses to stock parts for these as it's a 'legacy' device. They won't even sell you the parts even if they had them. I would never buy a Razer laptop. Great repair Sorin as always. As long as the customer doesn't need to open and close their laptop! It sadly won't last. :(

[@Sidman723]

I probably would have given it back to the customer. If I had to try, I would have just used capton tape without the glue, but great job!!
