That's one of epic episodes of Sorin's Sitcom...

Best teacher ever.

Happy Birthday! Never worry about being a dodgy Romanian. In the US, a Dodgy computer tech tells the customer the motherboard was destroyed by a short in the power button circuit, the laptop cannot be repaired. But, his company is willing to to take care of the hazardous waste disposal fees for an $49.95. Plus you owe 4 hours labor.

This reminds me of my ESL teacher back in the US. I was the best one in the advanced class, but of course, like everyone else, every now and then I made mistakes, gave a wrong answer, etc. And he always said to me, "That's ok, it keeps you humble" Since then, every time I make a mistake, specially on electronics, I remember those words.

"What kind of Sorcery is that"😂😂😂 17:14

"Breaking this track was a bad idea." I was surprised you didn't bypass the small board from the start. Nicely fixed.

What a job!!! Fantastic.. I hope you learn one thing, ALWAYS do things the Sorin way 🙂

Happy birthday dear Sorin. One hundred of these days. Regards from Italy.

happy birthday my friend sorin i wish you all the best in your life,your a great man and teacher!!

One of the best of Sorin's videos. Thank you for sharing!

It is very interesting and entertaining to see all these challenges. We really benefit from what you present in your videos. Thank you very much and I wish you a happy birthday

Happybirthday King Sorin.

La mulți ani dacă am auzit bine, sa fii sănătos ca fericit vad ca ești!

Happy birthday sorin, much respect from turkey.

You know Sorin, with you this looks like a journey (like always), a pleasent one; instructive and entertaining same time! Nice episode! Baftă! 🍻

I think the fingerprint can be setup "on" in the bios or a option of the fingerprint software, so the user can power on the laptop by fingerprint, i remenber i use this way to power on a Thinkpad x230.

Thanks for the videos sir. Keep dem videos coming.

Happy Birthday Sorin

happy birthday idol Sorin! 🎉🥂🍾

Happy birthday Sorin from the Netherlands

Great insights. Thank you. Happy birthday in advance

Great Job / And an excellent T-Shirt logo "Let's Do It On The Sorin Way" :)

Awesome work.

Happy B'day master Sorin.

that was insane and i agree with you and i can say that we should never let our guard down even for a power button :))) but anyway it allways a pleasure and a satisfaction of seeing a good job in action and a problem terminated (like the terminator :D ) i will be glad to be tommorrow for a coffee :) Good job Sorin and we see tomorrow

Our master, the best of the best

Sorin what a nightmare , some times what you did in the end gives the best results regards Jim

Лютый колхоз по исполнению, но работает же! Браво.

Un calduros " La Multi Ani !!! " draga Sorine

nice one... 👏👏👏

Happy birthday

Well, that was a good learning lesson for us, but I could see the frustration in you Sorin. But somehow it's good to see that your patience has a limit too. That gives me a goal to achieve... mine is much shorter :) But I will never understand why they over-engineer such a simple thing as this... Must be an engineer fetish in this modern era I guess.

First time I’ve seen Sorin get frustrated with a job.

Thanks for all of your time; Do you have a link to any of the common tools you use; Especially your cordless screwdrivers; Apologies if this has been spoken about in length before; Im only new to your channel

Happy Birthday for Tomorrow.🥞🥞🥞🥞

Great fix, Sorin. You have great patience. I would have thrown the laptop through a window after 1 hour of getting nowhere. 😅

Most get sold on ebay, broken display, untested, no returns.

I missed the Niiice laptop at the beginning, I think the way Sorin says it, it much better

you are the master of fixing great work really you are amazing thank you ayman from Egypt

Would test those two transistors on that little board Sorin they should control print reader triggered by the power on button, the question is does the reader chip pull down the whole 3.3v rail or a faulty transistor doesn't give it enough juice. Long press hard reset should work anyway though, so probably is the chip, or a dodgy cap on that little board seen only when it's powered. Can be. 😂 Happy Birthday Sorin.

Hello🤝masterpieces Sorin style ✌👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋

0:26 also me literally Said "Huh?" when sorin double read the confusing description. lol

why not remove goodix chip and connect power button 3.3 in to out line there on that chip? will it not work?

@orange11squares

4 ай бұрын

that was the proper solution, removing the fingerreader chip.

WoW definitely Sorin is not a quiter

Nice laptop pissed sorin finally

good thanks :)

I knew it, this laptop will be fixed by a wire 😀, when I see you putting the 1k resistor. Yes à Sorin’s way.

Clearly you were tired when you were doing this job. You traced nothing on motherboard when you saw disconnecting button board is fixing the issue. And some more signs that shows you were not focused when you did this job. Sometimes this happens. You're the best.

La multi ani ! Sorin. Tomorow you will make a proper calibrated party ?

THAT'S SICK! 😅

Romanian guys passed a message that to be proper dodgy you had to take the resistor from the same laptop, not from a donor.

Why don't you just disable the fingerprint scanner in the bios? Coffee at 7:00 am on a sunday is much too early for me especially on my birthday, so I wish you now a HAPPY birthday too ! No crazy jobs today !😇😁💗

haha its nice that you can laugh at yourself, it doesnt bother you and its even nice that you can get out of it with humor

great video thought u will do the dodgy Dr Sorin thing without wasting time

Today it's not just nice, it's beautiful

Happy Birthday.. I seen that there is a software fix for this known issue ??? from dell firmware update

I hate it when they overcomplicate things like a power button.

This is freaking sick..😂 I laughed so hard by his expression 46:00 🤣🤣🤣

Wow that was crazy. Why does the power button have to be connected to the fingerprint reader? So sad it wasn't a stand alone module

👌👌

@ time. 18.52s there was what looked like a resistor that had been damaged up the right top of the screen.

Hi my bro ...thanks 4u....my laptop .hp 14 dk0002dx amd .turn on and masseg bios recavery.i do it that flash disk but black screen and don't work

If it works I guess 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

17:10 "But I am not a dodgy guy ..." Yeah. A Sorin is SI unit for dodginess. Reaching 1 Sr is unfortunately impossible, most people are in microSorin range.

Hello Dear Sorin, Its seems this board also sold separately.

wow , over complicated power button . finger print nonsense fails then whole laptop is locked , what a garbage design . awesome Sorin fixed it

Maybe in bios there is a configuration that's triggering the need of read finger print first to unlock power button and keyboard.

If there is, wouldn't it then be silly by how easy it is to get the keyboard going again?

At 37:25 look at the connector pin on connector on the topn (purple connector) to the left of the 3.3 v line coming in. Doesn't that look like corrison or something in the connector?

@SURGE101

4 ай бұрын

It does look like corrosion but I think it’s the glue from the sticky film that was on top of the connector which he removed in the beginning. I may be wrong.

First time I heard Sorin said this motherboard is pissing me off...

Well that was a nice birthday surprise, the "this is sick bro" made me laugh so hard. Your mistake was calling this a beautiful laptop instead of a nice laptop 🤣

How do you find what the chip is? TCM07? I looked it up so as to follow what you were doing but was unable to find it. Thanks

Why didn't you use a "calibrated" wire instead of the resistor?

The EU is bringing in a ban on chip ID linking, ie, no more iPhone BS - lol -. Unfortunately it prob doesn't cover the new M laptop's lid positional sensor.

@SidneyCritic: In recent years, before I retired, I had to log in and out of my job by putting my fingerprint on an optical reader... do people like that? ...well, here among us, the answer is: lol.

🍿

Bye see you tomorrow 😁

What was the cost of the repair just curious i spend days repairing things and have no ideas of prices to take things to get repaired one of the reasons why i don't.

Sto LAT 🎉

This is one of those nightmare jobs that come along now and then. To fix it perfectly often exceeds the value of the computer in respect to the amount of labor and parts if available. I would have done the same thing and consulted with the customer.

Popcorn thime🍿🍿😊

This true you can receive a complaint from a customer and think that's easy only to take your whole day.

But why not just to replace the board? My 5770 didn’t even have fingerprint but motherboard supports, I ordered from aliexpress and now power button is fingerprint as well

that is not dodgy enough for Sorin.

56:22 ☺

moral of the stories.. do not buy laptops with, fingerprint reader, with discrete gpu, with high tdp cpu, with sophisticated display, with type-c charging.. sticking with bare with dc barrel connector with standart panel is good choice. Could only removing the faulty chip solve the problem?

Happy birthday Sorin. ✨🍾🍸There is now an "Ooooohmlet" 😉😉from Diana 🥠🍽😃

the fingerbrint ic

It s not faulty! It s the ultimate safe laptop. Nobody has access to data, not even the owner...

the firet time I see Sorin angry :)

It could be my viewing angle but two of the battery cells appear to be swelling. Might want to take a second look. Im only 10min into the video though. Lol

Happy dodgy birthday
