    If number on the MOSFET is ending on 2,4,6,8 then it's a channel N, if is on 1,3,5,7,9 then it's a channel P MOSFET

    that was very hard job, the customer should have said what was done to the board, so you wont confuse yourself and loose precious time... in this repair you needed a lot of tools and knowledge to have it done, without the battery analyzer you probably would have not fixed the laptop, good job master Sorin!

These videos are cracking me up, you're so good... I love the fact that someone uses the knowlege about electronics while repairing it, not just deeming it as a no fix when something is too hard to understand. Keep up the good work man! 😃

    You should noticed the customers (before starting your repair) that if you find evidence of someone previously worked on the laptop the price of the repair will increase, and more, you have video evidence of that so you should be protected. In my case, i would like to know how much time you spend on the repair and be charged acordingly. Nice work 👌

    Yes Sorin you will lose when someone worked on the board before, but after watching so many of your video's I think there is a part in Sorin that likes a challnge and doesn't give up easily and it's pretty obvious this part won in todays video. But don't worry there is still plenty of easy pizza's on the laptop repair menu in the future! This one may have cost you time, but it's still a learning experience. Also maybe a tip and try to prepare some contra battery connectors with wires instead of hooking the battery straight on the reader, might save you from having those weird battery pins not properly connecting faults.

    Hey boss, great video, amazing skills and yes you should charge more- people will pay for knowledge A tip on hownto handle pricing in such situations We own a repair shop and we never provide a quoted to the customer prior to final diagnoztics Yes- you need to work hard to find out if it's fixable or not but only once we are 90% sure we can fix a motherboard we will contact the customer with pricing To begin with- we always give a range foe pricing and explain that price difference is in time and parts we need to replace Customers do understand especially when the computer price is expensive- they rather pay 200-600$ then buying a 2000$ laptop or more U r too humble, and should start enjoying yiyr skills Time is money As simple as it sounds U can do 10-15 repairs per month and receive laptops from all around the world Save the energy on customer that don't like to pay, have more time off and more money per repair U deserve much more respect Cheers boss Love your video We learn a lot form u 1

    Great detective work and hopefully you replaced the "properly calibrated battery fuse" with a boring uncalibrated but proper fuse. These kind of customer issues are easiest to resolve ahead of time. Inform the customer ahead of time that flat rate depends on the condition that it had not been worked on previously and if previous work is discovered the customer will be contacted to decide either the labor rate becomes an hourly charge (with a cap) or the laptop is returned without attempt to repair.
