No this electronic knowledge & I could be way more dodgy than this, but not how to do a good professional job it may work but it's not a long term fix! I'm in the process of setting up a repair channel but it will take time due to work load, so please come & chec us out & we'll show you how to do it right!

damn that was really clever of you Sorin. You never cease to leave me in awe

That's very clever and good fix. But if you see morally what if button resistance goes even higher to open circuit overtime maybe due to same cause and customer will have to come back to get it fixed.

you will still need a voltage divider on the base of the transistor , because it wont turn on on 2.7v so actually sorin way was faster

you handle frustration very well (better than I do).. and I always use windows to turn off my computer unless I need to to shut down faster.. Which is not to often.. well done Sorin.. You showed us that even the master can have troubles.. it gives us apprentices hope! thanks again my brother.. have a great weekend!

Thank you once again. Never give sharing reparing tips with us

True repair school. Nice diagnostic, two ways to fix it, the easy way with keyboard and the hard way with knowlege to save money and do the job more quickly. You truly explained what is happening betwen power button and the connector. Amazing. Great nerves also.

Awesome job master Sorin

thank you Mr.sorin ive learned alot from ur videos

Great Work Again.

Hi Sorin, you are sometimes so clumsy that i must LOL, but watching your videos is heart refreshing, it is a thing for own. THX

Sorin, i have done almost same thing, many many years ago on IBM PC motherboard. Using 1k pull-down extra on chip-enable to start up. All worked fine for years, and sold the PC as well. Great job done without change of keyboard. Just need the balls to do it. 👍

Great vid!

Awesome mod Sorin. I like it. Very clever.

nice approach

amazing.thanks for the update.

You're genuis ...still learning from you master

Hi was very useful and informative tutorial video . thnx

Good info and so far 9 min in the video. Much love

The trick to holding those resistors with tweezers is not to squeeze it hard due to being afraid of dropping it. The extra pressure squeezes it out of the grip...I use a 760lumen LED bike light/torch and get on my hands and knees to find anything I drop, usually find it quick.

13:15 - the term you're looking for is "pull-up resistor" - it keeps the input pin of the microcontroller pulled up to 3.3v, so logic 1, until the button is pressed :)

Hi Sorin! Great creative solution, as always. Could you make more videos of phone board jobs? At least for me, i find them much more difficult to repair than laptops and i wanted to learn more. Thank you!

Well done.👍

You shouldn't be upset about the comments, after all you work on the garbage, which you save from ending up in the dump ..............GOOD JOB.................

good job.

Good day Mr. Sorin. Thank you for all of your videos. We'll 1st of all, I can't say it is doggy repair. The customer would have left the laptop and carry on getting a new one. Which would cost him way more then to repair this one. You used your knowledge to bypass a very delicate and difficult keyboard replacement. And guys that keyboard replacement is really pain in the ass type work. I am amazed to see your calculated sense. I thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. SHAON from south africa.

Nice one and very funny

Thanks for your work. If you have time make a video to build audio amplifier. Thanks

loooool ur laugh at the end summurises it. Nicely done Sorin thumb's up. I think the reason why it doesnt turn off it's the 3.3 v that must be there precisely all the time so ur first attempt of putting higher resistance before SIO was the real deal, as u said maybe 1 mega or 1.5 should be fine to make it work perfectly.

I love the Sorin way.

gracias

Weekend fain !

This is a common problem with this Acer model and the best solution is to change the keyboard. The resistance of the power button may increase with time, which will cause the laptop to die again. Please help the customer by changing the keyboard. My opinion😎.

Insane fix. I love it but I am just going to change the dam keyboard. :-D, I just add it onto the customer bill.

i love the live nd true situation,clever guy for sure

👍👍👍 today resistor class 😍😍

Usually a place a small button on the left side of laptop ( making an hole ) probably i published a video about this...

YOU ARE AMAZINGGGG !

Hallo Rosin Marking on the SMD resistor 105 . Calculated resistance value: 1 MΩ

you are the best !!

Honestly I have never laughed so much during a laptop repair. :D I wish it took you about 20 more resistors, every time "Oh Come ON!" lol

great job :)

the voltage of state 0 to put laptop on is different from the voltage of state 0 to turn off. if u dropped the voltage bellow 1.5 V from 3.3V the power button could've turn it off. very good try sorin.

Try use the equation , it will make it easier, just use the formula and find the right resistor value and ur set

Amazing

Just flush the power button with ipa and all will be fixed, no need replacing resistors ! 😇 Just saw the fly at 1:01:00, it was under the powerbutton ! Haha...

I agree,drill a very small hole like .020 very carefully in the metal backing and flush holding the keyboard with it at an angle downward.This VIDEO SORIN makes you look like a TAXI DRIVER taking the long way to the AIRPORT so you can look up the female passengers dress HOPEFULLY.And i don't blame you for that.Every man needs a PEEK once in awhile.haha YOUR theory was good and made sense,but a fault was ,we really can't say the resistance would NOT KEEP changing in the future?But i see ,what you really wanted to teach us was the theory to in crease resistance to drop the voltage to near 0 temporarily.and that would have worked i think.love all your videos,doggie or not.haha

ahhahahhah amazing love so much when Sorin laughing on dodgy job:D

From my point of wiev the job is done....well yea....sort of... :D Another DODGY job well done. :D Maybe if you could find a 1M ohm resistor could do the trick. BTW manufacturer did a dodgy job too with that battery so....you are allowed too. :P :D

BEFORE see THE réparation i say : Sorin dodgy hot glue vibes, make a "new" button in left or right side of case :-)))) edit: oh no, no dodgy vibes ,but clever idea ;) salutations from swiss french

That dodgy resistor @ 56:14 is going to cause another fault after it breaks off

U are smart

I would like to see the face of the customer when you tell him you modified the motherboard for this 🤣🤣🤣

Six Minutes in and diagnosed !

Final job is funny god job master.

if the laptop will freeze at some point, the customer will not be able to power off the laptop by pressing the power button for a few seconds, and he will have to wait for the battery to drain. hahaha

ROFLOL "My resistor just fly somewhere" One day, if Sorin ever cleans up the work area, he may find enough "flying" parts to build his own laptop. I agree with the previous comment, spray a bit of contact cleaner first, then, if that didn't work, go do the dodgy repair. Thanks Sorin.

Mr sorin u should work with northridge fix its better for u if u like u are a good partner with him.

i am still laugh at the end ahahahahaha you are crazy man!

This is interesting

I already fix that kind of problem, i just replace with new switch and make jumper then cut the keyboard pat to connector

I have the same issue

Contact cleaner liquid under the button would've probably fix it.

ahahahha 27:40 i just cant stop laughing, love u Sorin! Wavings from Argentina

Genius

22:51 Oh, I think it flew to the 9th dimension!!! You must be carefull, Sorin. When technician grab a micro size resistor, it randomly opens a portal to the 9th dimension, randomly... I'm just joking!

what about using a transistor to pull the 3.3 rail to ground when you press the power button?

@gorjy9610

Possible but you need at least 0.6Vvoltage drop so replacing at least one resistor in case like this is still necessary, in begining he got only 0.4-0.5v drop, not enough to open transistor.

Sorin, I'm only a bit concerned by the "longevity" of this kind of repair; since the Power button could get worse contact over time, since there's (maybe) a water damage there inside. If I where you, I would add an external power button to be put in parallel mode with the original one using a couple of wires... But, of course, if there's enough space inside the la ptop casing. Anyway you thought the meaning of "PERSEVERANCE" !!!

AS ALWAYS SUPURB

Something always catches my attention and I still forgot to ask countless times... 😁 How come your microscope camera never shoots exactly what you're seeing with your eyes? Is it normal for this microscope?

What will happen when the resistance of the power button will go higher?

Mr Sorin, you are the best!
