Wanted to say a huge thank you and appreciation for the knowledge you share Sorin. Was able to fix today a severely liquid damage HP elitebook that HP deemed as unrepairable after watching maybe hundreds of your videos. Did not have a clue in the beginning. Thank you Sorin

What no hot glue to strengthen the plastic centre 🤦‍♂️🤣👍 after you fixed it

The plastic center of the port is still broken and not secured though? Surely should have replaced the port, that's just going to break the traces again.

i thought is was an april fool's day but its not. port was broken and had to be replaced. he just solder pins to traces.

You should get the 3s quick dry uv mask

Hi Sorin why do not use hotair same with uv light then it cured fast. You do not have to wait 10min then.

sorin . use hot air over uv gel. it drys so quick.

after repair i put glue to make plastic stronger

UV mask lifehack - shine UV light for a minute max, remove it and then put hot air on top. The mask will harden almost instantly! :)

9:46 - Solid, hmmmm. I would have glued the center piece of that connector to the metal frame. As at 1:51 the entire center piece is loose, it is only going to happen again.

It's not going to last for long because inner part of connector is loose. Solder and tracks will crack again after repeated plugging and unplugging of charger.

made by huawei, such a poor design...as many others do.

@@orange11squares its not a poor design. its default type-c connector which was destroyed by user. The problem is it was destroyed and meant to be replaced by new one. As you can see on video the plastic part is moving above pins while metal case that has to hold everything together is stable. The right way was to bend metal casing so that it will hold everything together or change the port. That was a lesson of bad repair.

Yes! He should have tightened the case clips and also added something in between the case and core... Like UV gel or hot glue... But I was also thinking there are 2 rows of pins on that connector... And he soldered only 1 row... Or I might mistaking?

nice added mechanical strength with the wire

Nice repair as always👏🏻

Hi Sorin, good job as alway... thanks for the suggestion about 190° solder wire.. i appreciate a lot how you share with so mauch details that is the important things... bye Francesco Timpano from Florence Italy

No no, he did not used hot glue 😢

we always learn something from you

Sorin the solder you use is Mechanic SX-862 double rosin core which is 183°C, it's not a high melting point solder. The high melt Mechanic is lead free HBD-366 with 200°C. I can be wrong of course, guys any thoughts?

Sorin perfect as always. So pity that you are so far from me!!😢

Watching on my personal Huawei D14 Ryzen 5 3500 running Pop!OS, reminded not to jiggle the USB C charging port too often. Might be a good idea for manufacturers to offer a recessed USB C port, so that USB plug fits more snuggly.

its very common. i have done 2 laptops. in 2 weeks. same issue.

port is broken, this plastic inside is moved back... its pushed back, that y pins r broken

Ive been looking at this model for a few weeks now. replaced charging port twice and still it will only charge when cable plugged in one way... ive tested the filters at the rear of the charging port and all are fine.tried various chargers also.... im at a loss now with my knowledge anyone seen this before.

Hello🤝good job 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋

I just noticed the USB power display flips like a phone when you tilt it up - lol -.

sorin sorin sorin....

Hi, do you also carry out revisions or repairs of motherboards on commission?

Couldn’t tricking the EC chip damage the battery. I assumed there would be a reason to start slow.

I understand the low budgets repairs. But what is the price of new type-c connector ? 10 cents ?

What is the name of this black tape that comes from the side of the cooler to the motherboard?

Great work as always. I have a question, does the green mask protect the pins (from shorting)? or does it really have any strength to hold the port in place (like glue) ?

green mask is not strong. use other strong glue.

Prevent oxidation of the bare tracks, and prevent movement to degree.

its not super strong but it does the job, you can cover it further with some glue like b7000 for more safety if you like

You forgot to add the outro

It looks like huawei is not using a good quality board for this to become a common fault on their laptop. I understand that this can happen to any device with USB C port but it is kinda unusual to see the exact failure point on multiple laptop from a single manufacturer.

hmm, no hot glue

waitt,, its nokia theree

huawei should be sued for this cheap port this is 2024 and this should not be happen my huawei phone from 2017 still charge fine

Nice job , bad design

Who buys Huawei???

If you use heat with the UV it will cure a lot faster.
