    Sorin, this was the best job! We all have run into this insanity where we go to fix something.. take it apart find nothing and it just starts to work again... Frustrating I know.. Because all of us that go to repair things be it computers, cars, washing machines you name it.. When they just start working we know that we have not fixed it properly and that whatever was wrong it will happen again.. Keep us posted if you find anything in further investigation.. or if it comes back to you again with the same problem.. Thanks my friend... carry on!

    I had the same problem on a HP EliteBook 840 G5. Based on your video, i slapped it around a bit, twisted, and knocked a bit. I'm not sure if the power light was on or off before starting to give it some gentle tough love, but it still did not show any other sign of life before I gave it a bit more love. Then I saw the caps lock light up for a moment... a bit more love and then keyboard light come on and it booted as normal. I have no idea where the problem actually was as I didn't even open it up.

    100% the cable... you moved it an the damaged part isn't connected to ground anymore and it shut down during movement once again! I think it's the section on the twistig point of the hinge. the cable is wrapped with "ground" and when the cable is damaged at some point, it comes and goes. OR.... ou said, that the screen got repaired before. Maybe the guy damaged the cable clamping it somewhere during reassembly.... but like you alredy said, replacing the cable is the safest and best thing to do. Maybe it's working now but closing the screen once or twice after assembling the whole thing, the failure is back and then you're just more pissed. Great Videos! Always love to watch!

    Nice video, thanks for sharing. I have a similar HP Pavilion 15. Terrible design as it requires removal of almost all components just to replace the harddisk. My guess for this fault is a short in the pinched cable. As the screen was opened before it could also be that the connector was misaligned, causing a short on one end.

  • @sup2069
    @sup20694 жыл бұрын

    I think I see what could potentially be the problem. Sorin mentioned that it looked like the screen casing had previously been removed. If that is true, the person who did it probably didn't have the cable all the way on the screen. Following up, when he disconnected the cable from the screen, no short. He then checks the screen inverter caps, fuse and mosfet, no short. He then reconnects the cable to the screen, no short. In summary, the only thing possibly wrong was the cable to the screen not all the way in.

    That is called the Guru Proximity Factor, like when your car is making a strange noise, and you take it to the mechanic and once he wanders over to take a look at it after you've been waiting for half an hour and by then the car has stopped making the noise. Once the object in question is in the proximity of a Guru, it stops the problematic behavior. The Guru Proximity Factor. That is a real-life lesson...

    Indeed the worst case. Sometimes its just a corroded contact point causing a short and sliding the contacts across eachother accidentally clears it.
