When the fiberglass of the PCB get that hot, to turns in to carbon and becomes conductive. That's your short. take note that the resistance went up when you ground some of the carbon away. It is possible to lift the trace layer and clear the carbon, but you have to get it all.

Isn't fiberglass made out of glass fiber? Glass fiber is made from silicates from Silicon. I can't find a recipe for glass fiber that contains carbon. Maybe it's from the resin.

Great to hear the story around how "Big Boss" got his name and his relationship to you. Thanks for sharing and for clearing that up!

Kudos to your dad and biggest boss, the world would be a better place if we had more dads and big bosses like this. There is always a time to call it to quit, you gave your Asus laptop your best and it's time to move on. Always fun as usual.

I think about fathers day and I see this video and how you appreciate your father and Uncle. Two very important people in your life. Such a blessing to be able to experience that. Happy Father's day guys.

A Big Family of hard work! Thanks to you,big Boss and your dad for all!♥️

i love the way you appreciate BIG BOSS for his hard work,you make him feel better,think better,work better and at night he sleeps better.the simple word `thank you`means a lot you`re a good person.

If it is a layer issue, it's possible it didn't get any heat spots because there was no component in the way of the flow of current to get hot, it was just flowing from power to ground through the shorted board layer. Knowledge says the board layers could be carved out and a fix might be possible, Wisdom/Experience says, the board is a no fix. Nicely done!

@@Martin_danko9207 you're right. I don't know the topic that well, if I did, i'd be fixing boards instead of watching a channel teaching me how to fix boards. If you hook up positive to ground on your power supply does it detect dead short and limit amperage or does it push all of its amperage to ground? I'm not sure and I'm not willing to risk my power supply to find out. I thought Alex said it was injecting 0.7 amps, but I watched again and he said 0.07, so my bad, I was thinking at 0.7 amps it would take a long time to heat the entire ground plane without a component 'in the way' causing the short. Why don't you educate me instead of just telling me I don't know what I'm talking about. 👍

Totally aggree with your decision to stop working on the laptop. At the same time its obvious why only 0.077 Amps are being drawn if you use Ohms Law: I = U/R -> I = 1,4V/16Ω = 0.088A I dont know how much voltage you injected, but the physics checks out I guess

I wonder is the reason the motherboard doesn't draw amps now because you didn't replace the capacitors you had to take off to clean the carbon.

I never knew using a hot air gun to install an HDMI port was a thing, but I guess I am rookie I would probably damage that port, what temperature setting did you use and what temperature does that solder melt at ?

clean better the burnt area with dremel, you still have a connection to ground , the burnt pcb between layers causes low ohm readings ...

The ginormous amount of jobs he has on his dock connotes him not prioritising his time efficiently. So as he said that type of grinding/rebuilding repair will have to happen elsewhere.

What temp did you set to resolder with the heat gun? Did you not melt the plastic?

Big Companies that produce that kind of electronics devices is not interesting in to let you repair broken units. Thats why they make it very delicate and hard to get broken so they can sell more units. They actually loose money when good people like you is trying to repair.

I would love to see Big Boss as a Boss fight in a video game.

As you said in the past you have a lot of asus laptops. If you were to try and draw a conclusion, are these old laptops (like 4-5 or more years old) or recent ones (like 3 year max)???? Do you have other gaming laptop brands waiting in line or something that you found repeatedly in another brand !? Thank you

Hey man, I have a couple questions that I'm totally stuck on. First off, let me start off by saying that I am a huge fan of your channel!! I've been interested in repairing laptop and desktop motherboard boards for roughly 2 years now and I absolutely would not have been able to learn half of what I know if it wasn't for you and your channel. So, thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with me!! Sooo, I have an Asus ROG Zephyrus gu502gv motherboard that had a loose screw in it somehow and it ended up touching the motherboard causing it to make a "zapping" kind of sound and immediately just shut off and died with absolutely no indication of life whatsoever. No LED lights come on when plugged in. Anyways, I believe that I have found the issue with a blown cap. Now, my issue is that I have absolutely no idea about these caps. I don't know where to even find the exact cap to replace it. Could you maybe give me a little bit of advice on how the caps work and where to find them and if there are certain specific sizes that I would need, please? Also, I am receiving another Asus Zephyrus ROG gu502 gaming laptop that was given to me by a very random and kind person because they thought it would be a good project and a valuable learning experience on how to repair it. Now, when they gave this laptop to me they said it was totally dead and unresponsive with no signs of life and no LED indications. They told me that her son had spilled soda on the laptop while it was powered on and while he was using it. I'm not sure how bad the spill was. I haven't seen it yet. But, what caps or compositors usually go bad due to liquid damage? She said that the spill had happened on the left side of the laptop and motherboard. Is it even possible for it to be repaired depending on how much of the soda was spilled on it? Or is it just a dead, unrepairable board??

He's not going to read a book kiddo. Make it 4 sentences. The caps are only for rfi or noise protection. You do what he does. Pull a cap from another board. Also you need to study about basic circuits and components so when you see it on a board you recognize the function.
