i find your content very satisfying to watch. it relaxes me. you are a highly skilled technician. i love to see all the equipment you use. i saw your previous video where Big Boss was assembling... that was cool to see.

It's good to see that after all these years you still enjoy bringing yet another piece of equipment back to life. Good work, sir. Greetings from Mexico!

It's always good to see that fixing things still makes you happy. 👍😎

Amazing repair! Alex you're the man!

Great job Alex! I ordered some stuff from you guys yesturday can't wait, excitement😃

That just rocks. Excellent work, dude.

I'm quite thankful that my laptop still works great but I find these vids very interesting because they teach me how to repair stuff.

You’re doing a wonderful work sir…I’m a fan from malawi the warm heart of Africa

You are genius absolutely good and intelligent work

Good have you back in KZread video show , Alex. 😊

Great job. Might have to get me one of them thermal camera next. It sure looked pretty handy there. Great video and thanks for all that you do.

Agreed, be tough to find one bad cap without a thermal camera. Those shorts end up effecting half the board sometimes. Although that one did show a tiny hole in it, still be like a needle in a haystack.

Hello 👋 a big fan from Ghana 🇬🇭

I love this stuff. So satisfying!!

As always great job. Thanks for the timestamps 😀

The desk looks so clean from any clutter :)

I don't really see use of these things in my life😂. But watching your videos makes me relaxed and I feel very good Love From India❤

Great work. Amazing. So i bet you could also find the problem without thermal cam, but yes it is a very fast help and good devices for such things. Thank you for the video. Greets

You make it look so easy,Because you are a legend

Lesson learned. Great job.

Good job my friend from guyana

Thank you, I was able to fix a customers laptop from your video. Not exact same pcb but close enough to help me dial in on where to put the milliohm meter to use.

A smile of hand work the greatest smile ever..

as always a great job. Italy

Thanks Tech this is great presentation. I need to the thermal camera to repair my faulty laptop that has failed to start.

It's magical🤩 i love you 🥰 Great job 👍💪

Good job mate 👍

Better than factory! Always look forward to your Videos .Hope the work on the place is going well!

Awesome job Alex. watching your videos from long time. & learn something new every time. still have 2 query in my mind. 1. how much soldering iron running at a time while you work because you quickly change it without replacing bit. 2. in any video u not use dc power supply to start laptop & ampere drawn by laptop to find out problematic area except while finding short

well done my friend.....👍

Hi, Big fan from India I m also working CTDI.

So the cap you replaced, how do you determine it's value? I was looking to buy that book full of these caps/resistors but didnt make sense to me going around replacing the cap without any actual info on the caps value.

Beautiful...

Nice job

Hi Sir.. quick question, is it common the caps broken easily and what mainly causing it? we can see the user never open / abuse the laptop, and premium laptops are built mainly focusing the quality as well

Love watching your videos but under the camera sometimes it looks like you add too much solder. But still love watching your videos.

My friend, why did you remove the music from your videos? We enjoy listening to it 10 percent of the total enjoyment

Don't be every electronic device can fail. it can be Asus or hp or whatever manufacturer it can happen but it happens mostly on gaming laptops because of the heat it produces when gaming.

what is that R24 smd to the left flat shiny w 2 solder points?. i have issue w part 1ROO33572 But i cant find replacement. Its corner is gone. Had a LED short and this is what i found.

I have question can "chipsets" make a short circuit in motherboard, because I found many capasitors are shorted, and two mosfet (pin1,2,3 source) that connected to pm_1v05 are grounded. ( these mosfet should not be grounded at all). Chipset amd 47b2 1851 218-0891011 Mobo is gigabyte b450 aorus elite v. i hop that you get my point, and sory about my bad English.

Can Freezing Spray be used in this case instead of the thermal camera and alcohol?

Yes but it evaporates fast. Another method is candle wax. Rub it on the suspected components and it will melt if shorted.

Hi my zenbook duo died a month back can you share me the blueprint or the motherboard diagram of this laptop so that i can get it repaired

new 2023 asus laptops (tested in TUF A15) will not power on without the back cover installed. It seems there is a mechanism that prevents the laptop to power on and returns it to shipping mode (which means you need to plug the charger first before powering on). I even tried removing the back cover when the laptop is powered on, the moment I remove it power to the laptop is cut-off. This is just a heads-up in case you get any repairs in the future.

Will the failed component (mosfet, cap, etc) always show as hot with thermal cam?

@Denise_in_progress

Every fail component will light up if it's shorted. Or you can do it by feeling the components with your fingers to find the heatspot. A thermal camera is a must for fast repairs.

Best thing is that you didn't have to take the motherboard out👍

Hi Alex, I have a noob question. I was wondering if you could take a quick minute someday in one of your videos to explain the SMD books you have for sale. I took a look at your shop for the options but am confused which is which and for what. What is 201, 402, 603 etc etc please ?? If I am just a hobbyist looking to keep a variety of SMD components, what would you recommend ? I don't need a commercial quantity, just enough to be covered for the odd repair. Thanks very much. 201 book 170 values 50pcs each = 8500pcs 402 book 170 values 50pcs each = 8500pcs 603 book 170 values 50pcs each = 8500pcs 805 book 170 values 50pcs each = 8500pcs 1206 book 170 values 50pcs each = 8500pcs

Heat or poor quality capacitors, but most of the time heat.

Power connector solder joints look fractured.

You can see in the schematic or boardview, but if you can't find it or not exists, you can't try substitute for one that has the same size, or the same capacitor from a donor board.

hello sir

I know it's less likely that two components have failed, but having removed the two capacitors first, it only takes a moment to test each one for a short before soldering them back. That avoids the possibility that one of them is short _as well as_ something else.

Asus laptops and handphones are notorious for breaking down.

Just an observation. The camera angle to you is a little too high I prefere to be same level as you. It’s currently above you. What does everyone think is it just me being fussy.
