Man you’re a live saver i swear to god

Today I worked on an Inspiron 3168 that had the power button completely missing from this three-button PCB. So I desoldered the down-volume button, and moved it to the power-button position. I am amazed that it actually works! Thanks @Nethesem !

Watching from 🇮🇳.....good work brother...i am also service technician

Good job as always, keep up the good work.

If only all No Power On problems were as easy as that

Smashing repair :-D I hate the manufacturers using only solder to hold buttons and sockets down. i have often placed a blob of hot glue behind the button to give it more strength. Handy for keeping laptop power sockets moving. (Weak plastic cases).

Had same issue, was able to solder it, thanks

makes me smile when you say 'solder'. In the states, we don't pronounce the "L". We say "sodder". :)

nice fix -another great stream

YOU SAVED MY LIFE LITERALLY!! OMG thank you so so so so much! This is exactly was the problem I faced and I fixed it partially until I finish my uni assignment then I’ll take it to the store to fix it, dude thank you SO much if I could give you 1k likes I would♥️👏🏼

I like to use foaming glass cleaner (Bon Ami power foam specifically) for safely removing baked on/in coffee areas. I had a laptop with so much coffee baked in , the blue PCB was brown to black . nothing was doing a good job , so i figured what's the harm . It removed coffee in seconds. I'm not sure what part of it made such a great solvent so I went back over with alcohol to clean possible residue . Great videos m8.

great channel. thanks for the content!

Simple solution dude, thanks for video.

Great work...Thank you.

most informative. I wonder how difficult it would be to obtain a functional replacement button had that been more broken.

Good work

Thank you for the video I repaired it myself

Great Job keep it up!!!!!!!

I would recommend a pointed angled tip as a general tip when doing smd and fine stuff. Those switches are the cheapest mini switches you can get and need some force to action them; Dell could have used better switches. As usual everything is done to maximize profits; rather fed up with this regarding HP laptops and I have switched to Lenovo. Anyhow great video and thanks for posting it.

Thanks!

little more cleaning the pcb and the oxidated soldertip will provide a better fluent solder. I like to solder on high temperatur too, but that can be hard for the tip when the standbytime is set too long. But anywhere,... the solution count👍👌

Nice video, I find anything sticky like soft drinks or beer , will not clean very well with IPA so something water based has to be used.

Thanks for the video, but I think you should really change the tip of your soldering iron or use a tip refresher that would remove the corrosion from your tip. Solder should "wet" around the tip not collapse to a ball :)

Logitech BRIO in 1080p 60fps mode. Webcams _can_ make good cameras, they just need a lot of light to make up for the small lens/sensor. In return you get absolutely wild macro capabilities.

yes you can use the holes , just add solder on the bottom side as there was metal there and why no flux ?

@Adamant_IT

This is a good shout, it's ground all around the switch, so a little bit of sanding to uncover the ground plane would give me something to solder the side-anchors to. I think the front ones will be enough. I've done this method of 'blob solder to re-enforce' before and not had any problems with it yet.

Sir what is the price of this power switch? The power switch of my laptop is not working.

I had a Dell laptop with the same chassis and was returned 6 times in the first year due to faults. Eventually the only thing remaining from the original laptop was the bottom chassis piece. Not a fan. Also the cooling is inadequate

Can we buy the switch online? Mine's broken!

Hi, I like your vids and teaching "how to"s Keep it up pls. I have a problem on my MSI laptop. It was working well, suddenly it shutdown. I powered up again, after few min it shutdown again. I thought there might be overheating or battery or charger problem. I check them all, I tested with brand new charger. No luck. Interesting thing is when it power down charger light also went down. it come up again after few seconds and computer can be powered up. After few min it shutdown again. time difference between two shutdown getting shorter and shorter after each shutdown. If I wait few hours before power laptop, computer can stay on longer. Could you please tell me what is causing it? I want to fix my laptop. Thanks.

Still sounds like overheating. You might have what I call 'flash overheating'. CPUs can change temperature from room-temp to 100c within a second, so you check the temps while it's on, and they look fine - but the moment that the laptop starts doing something, the CPU 'flashes' up past 100c and cuts out. This is usually caused by the cooler not seated correctly, or thermal paste that has dried and cracked. Try replacing the thermal paste!

The chip will be flat on top... If I had to guess, I'd say the heatsink was designed for a different CPU with a monolithic die (rather than the two dies on this chip) and the designers found that if they stuck a thermal pad on the end, they could reuse it with this CPU as well. One less new part to redesign and manufacture.

Yes good video. I've seen this crappy little Dell switch get broken twice now. Poor design!

Y have so much problem with soldering because the temperature of your soldering iron is too low. The TS100 you are using isn't very good for soldering elements with for example metal casing like switch. When you touch tip of your soldering iron to this type of object they take a lot of heat from it. This soldering iron isn't extremaly efficient.

Your not very good at soldering....Solder flows to heat, so heat the pad and then apply solder. The solder will flow where you need it.

@@Adamant_IT no man you clearly don't have a lot of experience doing this stuff... Firstly the flux was already burned away was part of your problem second of all you need your iron tip to be touching both the pad and the side of the unit and if that didn't work means your iron wasn't hot enough to heat up the ground planes and/or the metal housing of the button enough to let it flow properly. That was a horrible job soldering and you may have compromised those joints. It annoys the hell out of me if your STILL trying to push the solder in the spot you want it which you where clearly doing at one point it doesn't matter what excuse you use it means you dont understand the basics of soldering. When techs say it's ok doesn't have to be perfect its when the joint is soldered together and doesn't look the greatest ie isn't nice and shiny but it's still a solid joint. Pushing a solder blob to where you want it does not constitute as a solid joint lmfao. Little hint if its sticking to everything and isn't a shiny blob means YOU NEED MORE FLUX. Yet your on KZread trying to come off as a authority on this subject... This kind of crap goes to the customer they get pissed off at independent repair centers and then dont trust them... Dude seriously if you can't even solder wtf are you doing these kinds of repairs..... Myself and other people who have been doing this since Louis channel was first created are now having to fix screws ups because of people who refuse to learn the basics or start repairing customers stiff when they shouldn't and giving us all a bad name. This kind of crap really pisses me off and yeah it's a simple thing but if you can't even get a simple thing right I know what the rest of your work is like....
