    I've been working with and on electronics for 45+ years, and what I love most about it is that I can ALWAYS learn something new, like I did just now! That was a very fine piece of troubleshooting, but the way you explained each step of your process was very educational. I came to this video because I also have a dead laptop, and I was pretty much out of ideas, but now I'm quite confident that if I follow along again with this video, I will be able to bring it back to life. Thanks for sharing!

I am 70 years old, and electronics has (for me) been a lifelong pastime of repairing TV's / Radios + lots more. I still have a thirst for the knowledge. Working alone, the most difficult and frustrating part is not being able to discuss any electronic problems with another (educated) human being!!

    I love the simplicity of the way that the 8-pin IC Chip was removed and then (using calibrated fuse wire) bridging the Drain & Source in order to restore the 19vdc supply to the circuit.To say that the Motherboard is "complex" is an understatement! It is also extremely difficult for anyone to fully understand the full function of the 8 - pin IC Chip that you removed. Further to this, the pinout diagram would be needed - in order to ensure that you do - in fact bridge the Drain & Source. The IC device which was removed, handled the full current of the Laptop. There may have been the correct 'Gate' voltage present to turn the Mosfet on, but the device may have been faulty. I do appreciate everything that I have seen in this video, and I have been enlightened by your Tutorial. Thanks & regards from Sydney Australia.

Measured voltage from power jack input, step by step, component by component, and the first mosfet seemed dead. Made a bridge from small piece of electric cable across the mosfet, with use of solder iron... and guess what. Fixed! Super thank you for this video!

    Sounds like the diode in the MOSFET died and kept the circuit from detecting the power supply. Yes, power has to pass through the diode built into the MOSFET before the circuit on the other side will turn the MOSFET on... Short the MOSFET for a moment and then the circuit will power the gate and try and turn it on. If the diode is dead then no initial power detection happens and no power on. It's a low resistance polarity protection circuit.

    @@fullmoon6661 Usually there is a MOSFET next to the polarity protection MOSFET that controls the power from the battery going to the main power bus. The one from the battery would be in an ideal-diode circuit to prevent the power adapter from dumping power straight into the battery. The input polarity protection also acts a bit like an ideal-diode circuit that prevents the battery from discharging through the power adapter, so it serves a dual purpose and technically they are both ideal-diode type circuits...

    I had an old laptop went totally dead on me. I studied it and checked as much as I could with voltmeter. I studied and noticed that some of those tiny little resistor blocks that are surface mounted little bricks with no wires have numbers of their value ( very tiny ). I noticed some near power input were marked with 0.0 which I guess meant no resistance or some kind of jumper. I found one that didn’t seem to be ‘ jumping ‘ like it should so I managed to solder a small wire across that part of the circuit and ‘ voila ‘ it’s alive again. Also known as “There, I Fixed It “

    I have been watching your educating people on how to repair laptops etc and I must commend you on your patience dedication and generosity. My name is Rana Irfan Jalal and I am from Pakistan and although I can repair a few things as a hobby, I have never repaired laptops ot Iphones. Your explanation and demonstration on repairs have inspired me to try to fix some things after I have watched more of your videos. Please ignore any negative comments from othrs and keep up the good works. There are plenty of us who appreciate you tireless efforts. Kind regards, Rana Irfan Jalal ( Note :Same Ron Perera's Words and My Feelings ) !

    Love your videos, but I must agree that this one seems dodgy. Replace the mosfet with a wire. Why was the mosfet there in the first place? I'm sure the manufacturer deemed it necessary, they would have left it out if they could. Bypassing it has eliminated some capability or feature, likely safety or reliability-related. You called it a fuse, but wasn't it just a fine wire? If it's all about saving time, why not just leave the mosfet in place and bridge it?

    It's completely logical and he explained it. What more do you expect if you don't even know what a fuse actually is - "a fine wire". Are you here for some knowledge or to police a video? Like he said, he is not responsible for you, he has his own reasons for doing so. Don't like it? Well, don't do it! :D

    Many thanks. I had exact HP and had same problem. I took it to a shop here in Cambodia. After 3 days, they told me the motherboard is faulty. And if I pay them $45, they will fix it. After hesitating I agreed though it was a bit expensive. Again, after a few days, they said they are unable to give it life. So I took it back home. While I was contemplating to discard it after removing some parts, I came across your video. I have forwarded it to and requested them if they can do the same. Will update u soon. I wish I had seen u before!!! I can only like u and subscribe.
