    I had that pure bliss of delight yesterday on a Legion Lenovo gaming laptop. I was crossing every finger praying to the repair gods it would finally work after 2 hours of work on it ... and when it turned on I literally got up and started doing the tiger woods victory pump. lol. Great job Sorin.

    Doctor Sorin operating on a Predator and we all know with the good Doctor the job is never done until it`s sealed with hot glue. Seriously if it was me, this board was gonna end up at a recyling centre. Good job.

    The first laptop my Daughter had, years ago, was a nice laptop find totally unmounted in the trash. Luckily, i found every pieces except the screws. It was too my first laptop to repair. But what it had? The charger connector had burned the layers around in the motherboard. So I had to do the same job, hoping that any layer would be important there, same color of green paste to repair cars, wires to sold to rebuild the power supply, using an other one taken on a non working laptop. And still now it works, as my daughter had others laptops becoming adult, I kept it as virtual synths for my music.

    I've never seen a board burn up like that for no other reason than questionable design choices. There's supposed to be an IC or resistor or cap that burnt up, not layers of the board randomly deciding they want to be best friends no matter the cost. Very interesting job, a pleasure to watch you work and I couldn't be happier with the fix. Thanks, Sorin.

    I don't understand why it took a solid minute to switch on? I get "memory training" and various things, but I wouldn't expect it to take as long as that laptop took? 21:25 power button pressed to 22:25 when the screen lit up. Like, how long should one wait ? I'd of been too impatient there! Nice fix Sorin - a true master at work!!!

    Great job Sorin 👍 This is a design fault, maybe intentionally done. There are rules for PCB design... That power rail should not be there! There is a minimum distance allowance between ground and power rails. Even the designing software (like Eagle or Proteus) is throwing a big warning if you try to get a power rail closer than 1 mm from a grounded mounting hole!!! Big shame to manufacturer of the PCB (not of the laptop, they just put the project on auction and other companies actually make the PCB design) I have a friend here in Romania, he is working as a programmer for embedded SoC's, and his company is the 5th subcontractor of a big American company (still earning like 4K€ a month) And in one of his contracts for a smart thermometer SoC, he was asked to intentionally put a bug in software to render the device useless after a random number of uses greater than 1k... This was confidential but was a long time ago... so i hope i don't get anyone upset by this comment.

    hello sorin ! great work as always, just wanted to say regarding the moment you tried to boot the laptop at 21:15, i think it probably was doing what we call memory training where the laptop/pc resets a few times to initialise the memory, group it in a pool and run a few tests on it before it is usable by the system and let it boot.
