What Killed This Expensive Asus laptop GA502DU

[@raincloud54]

Okay. Alex. You should maybe read up on the origin of the Christmas holiday and Thanksgiving. You have a rather shallow understanding obviously

[@NorthridgeFix]

I think you should expand your knowledge on this subject. I have nothing against people who celebrate Christmas and kids enjoy it, but it's still Pegan. Birth of Jesus is not known. Hear Pat Robertson kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqObZ5h4arWEodU

[@schlowe2003]

@@NorthridgeFix Extrapolated information using the birth of John the Baptist suggests September 28-29. But yes, Christmas is very pagan.

[@DavidSFGM]

@@NorthridgeFix I agree with you. But just curious, are you a Christian?. Im a big fan I watch all your videos

[@222inverter]

Thanks giving got nothing to do with Christmas??? or anything holy???...it's just a time when the natives gave the settlers(people from the U.K. and Europe) some meat(turkey) because otherwise they would have died??this is why no other country celebrates thanksgiving cos its an American thing ....Hi from the UK

Thanks Alex for the content. Q. I found that Lead-based solders usually melt at 356-374F and Lead-free is around 422-440F.. How and why would the laptop produce that much heat to melt the solder and kill the pc? seems quite dangerous, and the fact that the current has to go through all of the components before it reaches the mosfet is also interesting.

[@nybiggs]

This guy donated $15… I hope he gets an answer

[@najeebshah.]

lmao 15 usd wasted, no reply , not on the top either

[@hugegamer5988]

When mosfets fail their on resistance can climb, this causes excessive heat which make the resistance climb higher. Then it spirals out of control and fails.

[@AC_Milan1899]

Superb work Alex

[@Dutch1961]

Actually you're right about Christmas. It's the pegan winter solstice, to celebrate the returning of the light because daylight time is getting longer. In the early days of Christianity it was common practice to embrace popular pegan festivals and embed them into 'Christian' rituals to make Christianity more acceptable for pegans. Santa Claus absolutely has got nothing to do with Christmas. This figure comes from an old Christian celebration in Europe. It's named the Sinterklaas (Saint Nicolas) festival. In western Europe we celebrate the birthday of Saint Nicolas on december 5th. Somehow in the US Saint Nicolas became Santa Claus and it got connected to Christmas. I celebrate Christmas every year although (or maybe because) I'm not religeous. For me it still represents the returning of the light. Oh, by the way, we don't eat turkey.

[@TheOnlyDominik]

When I saw the first videos of you I was shocked at how much flux you use, but the solder joints get so clean and I guess it also protects the other components nearby from heat. Thanks for this tip.

[@HazeAnderson]

That's because you start out building stuff, and there is plenty of flux in the solder. When repairing however, you need 4x the amount of flux.

[@exnozgaming5657]

Flux is your friend, adding more can never go wrong :)

[@gordonm2821]

Also the camera makes it look like lots of flux until you zoom out

I have the same laptop. It works if I plug in a charged battery, but not from power adapter. It says it is charging, but does not draw any amps. I found out that one of the mosfets behind the power jack was shorted. I replaced it with same model, but now it does not run on a charged battery or DC adapter. If I short the first mosfet connecting to DC jack, it runs on DC, but does not charge even though it says it does. So I disconnected the battery inside and run it on DC input. It works fine like this though. Anything I can do to fix this? What drives those mosfets?

Honestly think you should do a video of the most repaired items that come through your shop. I know it's a bit of a difficult one, I once asked a breakdown guy what is the most reliable car given the amount he is called out to. He said a Ferrari because he's never had a breakdown call to one. So it does depend on the % out in the community.

[@mehmetsarkaya5267]

Here's why that Ferrari logic doesn't really rev up: First, Ferraris aren't your go-to grocery getters. They chill in garages more than hitting the roads, so obviously, they're breaking down less. Plus, Ferrari owners are all about that premium care, rarely letting them hiccup before getting checked. Also, seeing a Ferrari is like spotting a unicorn, they're rare, so fewer of them equals fewer breakdowns. And just 'cause they ain't calling for a tow doesn't mean they're not quietly getting tuned up.

3:54 I just dont get it why so many ppl break so many ports. Maybe if it was a gopro or one of its copy-cats id understand but on devices that never leave the house? As for the vr mosfet dying its beyond my comprehension why there is no protection that shuts down then prevents the mobo from powering up. I mean with nowadays tech worst case it would cost only a few bucks more. And admittedly i dont know the full history of Christmas, but TBH i dont really care.
