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

We know that. My guess is Sorin though the previous shop, fitted the wrong 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!

It's comparable to medicine. A new doctor needs to know what has been done previously and why, before ordering new medication or changing existing prescriptions.

because of a hardjob I watched all ads without skipping
I just discovered this channel as I started to do some repairs. I also finally understand why Alex from NF is just good at soldering and not at actual repairs. 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 👌
What a hard repair! I like your job and your mood: you work slow, using your experience and your brain, without jumping to conclusions. Nice attitude!!
I don't take computers that others have worked on where the repair was not successful. Way too many uncertainties. Fantastic job Sorin! That was the most advanced component level repair I have ever seen! 😮

what if they lie to you and you discover after they leave, you tell them that you discovered someone worked before, and they say you lie. Problematic indeed.

Wow, what a battle. Been watching for well over a year now and am constantly impressed with your tenacity and ingenuity. Really enjoyed the breakdown at the end. You’ve spent a lot of time and therefore money too, but also you have highlighted the pain of taking on stuff that has been butchered before. Still, you did it ! Thanks for sharing your journey
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.
This board has not been worked on is understatement. This board was used as a one night stand by previous cowboy.
Great repair work Sorin. I was happy you got the job done after spending so much time. Your patience and attitude towards completing this repair is something to admire. Your videos inspire alot. Thank you.
Heartiest congratulations. It is as if we are repairing together with you.
If i were you I'd ask the customer for more money because it's your right 1st he told you (no one worked on it before) when clearly someone did, and 2nd you fixed the blown up fuse on the battery's board 3rd you've unlocked the battery and lastly you've charged the Bios battery (which no one do such a thing) and MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU'VE SPEND A LOT OF TIME {And Like They Say TIME IS MONEY} IT'S NOT GREED IT'S YOUR RIGHT AND LIKE I SAID IF I WERE YOU I'D HAVE TAKEN MORE MONEY ON THE REPAIR By The Way I'm 32 years old and i work with phones but it's not making me that much money and I'm not greedy like my fellow coworkers so I'm learning FROM YOU how to fix laptops too [SO THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR AND GOD BLESS YOU EVERY SECOND] THANKS AGAIN
So much energy deployed. Thank you 🙏
so i watched the full video. im impressed you have so much patience. i am also in the field of electronics repair, but that was such a mess. props to you for reviving this device. well done
Great job Sorin. It wasn't that long ago when you used the battery analyzer and it also messed up the pins and was giving you problems diagnosing why it wasn't charging.
That was an absolute adventure! Lot of things learned. Thanks!
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
Long and tricky one, but what a satisfaction in the end!!! Amazing job👏🏻👏🏻
Bravo Sorin for you tenacity, humility and determination! Thank you for sharing!
This one was a wild ride. Real interesting - thanks for sharing
perfect calibrated fuse, Mr. Sorin thank you so much..
I think this is one of the best videos in your collection! Congratulations Sorin!
Great Job Master ! High end level repair, as always . Cheers !
A tough one, well done!
Dude your a laptop genius! Love your videos!
First time watching your channel, love how you are explaining the details of how you are analysing the problem. Regards from Holland.👍
Great job albeit learned from mistakes and your perseverance to success. Humble in the process and good learning for all.
Sorin, Great job as always.
Really this laptop is a very hard job but with your patience you have done it. Excellent work 🎉
Bravo Sorin. We know you loose time, but we like to watch challenging repairs like this one. Quick repairs with shorted caps are boring to watch.
You have good patience with your customers.
I have this laptop, it's a beast and gets hotter than my oven even with a fan spinning like an airplane engine! First day of using it the BIOS update killed the machine completely and had to send it back for repairs.
excellent video - loved the fact that the board had Master Sorin's trousers down lol - More of these difficult ones please buddy.
Great job Sorin!
great job , we need more like this video
Wow Sorin you certainly know your stuff, I really enjoyed the video thank you so much 😊
This time the laptop was dodging the repair. Hard one indeed, the battery analyser was also necessary this time. Proper calibrated job Sorin! Well done
Bravo Sorin ❤❤
Very nice video it's very useful for me . thank you so much from Egypt
you're a magician 😮 what an amazing job 👍
thank you for the knowledge you've share to us master tech.
Thank you master sorin
A very interesting video, thank you. That's the thing with these tricky faults: I understand that you are getting frustrated considering how little money you can charge for this job. But for your KZread-channel, it might be a good thing. The video is more interesting and you can show off your skills. I hope this video is going to do well.
Very clever fellow ,as the board had many problems ,Well done .
Amazing, great, great, great work!
Great video a lot to learn i recommend it. Thank you sorin.
Great educational video taking on a laptop already worked on. Never see charging of the non rechargeable bios battery before😀See you on the next one.
just a hard job ! with no "we have picture !" to make you smile :-)) you are the best
Hahaha Sorin should never retire, you make my day lol, this Board is begging me😂😂😂😂
I am glad you fix it i watched the hole vídeo.. no Wonder the chop gave up.. also i bet it feals good that you have fixe it.. saying that i was in london last may went to a repair store they had your vídeos on the lCD brilhante ..wish you well
Excellent Job Sir🎉🎉
Thank you so much for this video, realy interesting.
god of repair, gj sorin you win 💪
Amazing video
Ahahaha you kill me with "Here is a perfectly calibrate fuse !"
Good job mate
BIG regard for uncle!
Never a dull moment. Nice one
Simply wonderful
@sorin One the beginning you should check if on input circuit on the MOSFETs if 2 the gates has continued, and then you will realize that the 2 MOSFETs was channel N, because the two gates was link 🔗 together. That was you first mistake... 😅 And the job will be much shorter... Thanks for sharing your knowledge... greattings from Portugal 🇵🇹 🌟
wow this one you doing great..👏👏👏 this one is the best challenging fix...your the best..👏👏👏 best 🍕 pizza 🍕 ever ...
Nice video!!! Thank you
great Job !
Great Job Sir. Love for Bhutan
Real King.
very good video Sorin! You can analyze the device before giving a price, and charge a repair attempt fee, in cases like this where someone has already attempted repairs on this device, it is up to the customer to decide to risk the repair.
Repairs with too many faults factors are very difficult to tackle. good job.
that screw shorted on mainboard, that's very very often seen on lenovo notebooks
thank you,
That was brilliant
Great Lesson @1:05:00 about DOUBT setting in. Bear this in mind.

wonderful job...
17:19 LOL! Thanks for the laugh Sorin!
good job
Northbridgefix has left the building after seeing the previous repair attempt 🤣
Now this is a proper electronic repair job. 😁
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.
Don't mean to insult you but circuit is pronounced SIRKIT not sirquit. Thanks for sharing your work 👍🇬🇧
Yessss, i like loong videos.
Very well Job , Waww🔥
Hi, definetely it is best always to call customer and tell about findings like previus repairs to avoid any issues and also disguss the price for the job and extra risks. Every single customer trying to make it cheapest and will go much more dodgy than just using a wire :)))
time stamp 53:00 The BQ24780s does not supply input mosfets with gate voltage it`s done by the ThinkEngine chip, The bq24780s is only for charging
@Nebbia_affaraccimiei

yeah also he had still 3.8v with the new BQ, is it possible that chip detects if mosfet is off the board and it wont send the signal driving it?
Try to use spring probe, on that MBL for battery. Terminals are too big obviously, if you can get those probes they have springs and will not damage any connector. You can use literally clothespin, to catch connector from battery and put probe on it.
That was an adventure
:)))))) I was waiting for the "perfect calibrated fuse".
Sorin to Micriscope - Say hello to my little friend 💀
It always happens that a job that took 10 minutes to solve (as in the video of that HP laptop with loose pins on the SODIMM channel) would turn into another job that takes hours to solve and fix.
Most times I will always check charging mosfet and charger chip when no charging. I want that battery checker thou, it's just too much for the amount of batteries I would need to repair. As for previous work jobs, I do a bench check (charge a fee) and usually NO, if the re-work was bad or charge extra!
Ok this is a nice laptop with top notch quality
41:38 that was proper'' funny man, hahahhahaahhahh
proper hard job
I think you should introduce a charge for laptop that has been repaired before especially if the customer says that it hasn't been
