I know you probably won't read this, but I just wanted to thank you, Alex. I started watching you three years ago. I liked working on vintage through-hole stuff but couldn't do SMD to save my life. Watching you made me start taking an interest in developing the skill. A few years ago I ordered from you some pad strips, UV resin, and a few other things to repair a video card. I did it, but it took weeks of practice to be confident enough to try to mess with an expensive video card. Fast forward to today and I now have a job at a big public university, fixing instruments in their chemistry department. I just saved a $40,000 instrument control board, using pad strips and UV resin. Unfortunately, I didn't order these from you (government rules and whatnot), but it made me think that I should drop you a line. Thank you for the inspiration that's lead me to a better career. Love from TX.

@@ortzinator I volunteered to work on damaged stuff in my previous position, and gained a reputation of being willing to at least try to fix stuff. Even if I was able to fix 50% of what I attempted, it still saved the department thousands of dollars. Then when I made the leap to this position, I had references who knew what I could do.

I think a lot of people really underestimate big bosses skills. The ability to take apart so many electronic devices quickly without breaking them and then putting them all back together correctly is not easy.

I wish this too. I sent a laptop in to a place in London, didn't hear anything for ages, chased them up, said they'd call back with a quote for the repair, never heard from them again. Number no longer in service :(

I agree. There is nowhere decent for really high end fixes needing high levels of skills. There is no ALEX in the UK yet:)
The time when power is on I'm kinda excited and when it's booted I nearly jump. Thank you for another knowledge, and thank you Big Boss for your magic hand.
MSI are one of the few manufacturers that have the EC firmware downloadable from their site, but in many cases EC firmware can be programmed though the keyboard connector if you find your in a tough spot and out of options, but obviously you have to have the firmware and not every manufacturer makes it available.

I envy your ability to reach down and grab/hold a chip in one motion without shaking too much and grabbing that chip so solidly. I still struggle to grab onto a chip that I just placed without disturbing its position and having to realign it.

I had a SMD component go flying from my tweezers tonight, and off to the 9th dimension. I instantly thought of you! Appreciate you and Big Boss putting out great content.
The customer took a gamble and this time it payed off. Glad to see it was a successful fix.
Alex, Big Boss & customer, I'm happy for all 3 of you! Alex & Big Boss, I'm just a hobbyist, but I'm amazed at and appreciate your abilities!
Great work Alex and Big Boss ! better than factory !
Hi. I watch Your videos for a long time. And I can tell, U are 95% specialist and 99% good person. I would come for a coffeebreak on friday, but its more than 10k km...
Another great repair! The customer was already "pot committed" so 49$ call, was the only right move!
I'm glad you keep the "better than factory" music
That was interesting from the beginning to the end. Excellent job❤
I have a chinese unbranded laptop that is not fixable. I am using its board to learn and practice BGA soldering. Every chip on the board has a white rectangular silkscreen marking as to where that chip belongs and what orientation, too.
Well done, total skill and confident too.
Better than a Netflix series! Good job master 👏👏👏
This is the first time I hear big boss... well done!
what a lucky costumer ! if the laptop was mine it wasnt fix!!👍👍👍
Legend!!! Big boss has the magic touch lol
amazing , i wonder though , what would have caused that chip to burn
Its time to add the super i/o chips in the inventory for 100$ 😅😅😅😅😅😅

Good job. Some super io chips don't need programming. Many sellers you buy it from will make you aware first if it does or not, as some have it written clearly in their description

What you are doing is a very skilled job that needs lots of experience. So you cant charge too much.
nice to see that 50% going towards the good side once in while :)
Your like the end of the road if you can not fix it then nobody can because you do Awesome work !!!!!!!!
What an end of the repair :), Congrats, Alex!
I wish I could order things like the wipes and pads, and maybe even the ports binder from your site for use in my shop, but at over $80 in shipping for less than $100 in materials... (I live in Ontario, Canada) I love your microscope Alex, so maybe when my business has survived its first year, I'll consider upgrading my microscope from your website. Thank you for all the amazing content! It has been extraordinarily important in the development and confidence in my ability to micro solder, and even just basic troubleshooting. An amusing side tidbit, when I watched my first video of yours, I thought to myself, gosh! This guy sound perpetually angry! I can't watch this long term. Then I didn't watch another video of yours for maybe a month. The next video of yours I watched was another valuable video that solved a problem I was having, I can't remember what the issue was. Then I saw another, and another, and got used to you and realized you weren't perpetually angry lol, then I subscribed with notifications on. I can't explain why I felt that you sounded angry, ya just did to my ears. Thank you again! I've learned so much

yah man, shipping to canada in insane, there are some books on ebay $10 with $30 shipping. Or small things, even our inter province shipping is absolutely nuts.
big boss needs a raise!!!
I am interested in purchasing a hot tweezers soldering station. Some "American" brands that are made in other countries are much too expensive. The magic hands of Big Boss! Congratulations on the win and thanks for the updated video.
I was walking while watching this video and i literally stopped when you tapped the chip to settle in place. Like if I move you wont be able to solder it 😂😂😂
Machaalah brother , im a big folower from morocco keep going god bless you and bigboss salam
Amazing. Well done Alex!
I appreciate your lines: Anything in the world 🌎 is fixable if you want to dedicate the time ,youd't care about practicality, you don't care if the repair is economical or not from the business point if view then off course Anything in the world is fixable, we give device our 100 % effort within allocated for that device and if we're able to fix it we get paid the big amount. 👍 👌
Today on Northridge Fix, hold a board like you'd hold a baby... you don't want to crush their bones. Life lessons.
That was an awesome fix.
Big Boss 😎 did it once again. He touched it and it works.
Nice. I have a super io chip from China on it's way for a t480s. Heard they need to be programmed. Seeing this work (even for a different brand and model) is giving me hope.
Can you make your store better gave up looking for Flux. So replaceables at the top flix wick chips and equipment at the bottom. Or I can't buy here thing we use all the time at the top please
Did you get that house?! :)
Thumbs up for Big Boss and his magic hands!
Is there a situation where just using the ring light would benefit not using the anti-glare light? Another great video. Love your work. Thanks for your help and excellent advice.
EXCELLENT JOB FOR ONE MORE TIME
Oof! I can breath now! Thanks to you and Big Boss!
Great job 👍
you're simply the best one Alex. Really amazing, best reguards from Italy!
Good job and good gamble on the customer's part!
Big Boss has healing hands! Memo to Alex: Big Boss deserves a new office/workshop chair! Please! Remember the story about the cobbler's children's shoes!😁
Customer bought own chip and laptop works.
i like that chemistry ''when big boss touches it ,it has to work
Good to know it did work at the end. Thanks for the video.
I love when your Boss always say Bismallah ❤️🌹 Alhamudlillah Akhi
Kesinlikle etkileyici. Sen harika bir öğretmensin.

Can you make a video on what Big Boss's desk looks like? I'm curious to see what he uses and what his setup is like

What a fast start after bios reset 😅😅😅 gg

Hey everyone! I hope everyone will be fine. I got ASUS G15 Advantage Edition 2 months ago. It's fully updated to Windows 11. It was running fine, most often i use it for my office tasks but from yesterday when i press power button the laptop starts but the screen is turned off and i dont see an ASUS logo and hear ASUS sound. When i turn it off by holding power button for 2-3 times then my laptop boots up properly. Anyone here who can tell me what's the problem exactly???
Love watching your videos , awesome job.
I got a GS75 and use it daily for 5+ years,....absolute workhorse
I think you handled that well.
your guys make a great team.. cheers.
Thanks boss you are Genius . I have learned alot of things from you. Can you please and another window on screen of you multimeter by this window we will learn more in detail thanks . Respect from italy
12:33. I see, big boss has confidence.
I was right 😂 I told you in the prior video it would work. Glad you got it fixed.
Great Job Alex. You are very good. Big boss looks great. Just want to know if you repair laptop GPUs too. I have and acer predator helios 300 (rtx 2060) with bad memory bank.
Great result
amazing job and very frustrating at the end
Big Boss = The Midas Touch. ❤
Thank you big boss
Awesome fix Today!
Great ❤, I’m also wished from here for it works
The big boss is the best you see his face with confident it will work we can say the magic touch😅😅😅
Quick get big BOSS to do the Lottery 🤣👍
big boss is Mabrook (blessed in arabic) , Gaming laptops are expensive but they are Fragile ,take care of your device don't stress it too much , turn it off for a few hours between time you're using it ,it will last way longer than they want it to last.Specially the new ones are really expensive but built so cheaply .
Glad this worked👍
I would love to come intern or something for you. I could learn a lot.
Great follow-up, thanx!
98% Big Boss - 2% Alex --- ha ha ha! I solder every day and always learn something here.

Do I really need to take electrical/electronic class plus experiences?
great work as always💪😉

Mashallah.... much Love from Pakistan
another job well done.
Can anyone tell me if dell latitude laptops needs the battery connected to boot up? Changed the keyboard and all hell broke loose.
Are you usa ?😊

I didn’t expect it to work since the Model number of the two chips was different.
Lucky customer 😄
Hello Alex, is your YT channel affected by the "invalid traffic bug"?

Probably not yet or he would have made a video by now. Hopefully it doesn’t happen. It’s crazy how many repair channels are affected already.
The EC (aka. KBC) definitely requires programming outside the motherboard, if you solder an empty EC the system will not boot. So someone must have programmed the new EC with the correct firmware.

On some boards the BIOS can program EC when it's empty. But most of the time you need to have EC programmer and maybe use the keyboard connector to access and program it.

@@nochkin The biggest issue I can think of that prohibits that is platform power sequencing in laptops. Like the BIOS runs on the CPU, but the CPU is not getting core voltage until the EC turns on the VRM.
Very good job 👏 👍 👌
better than factory, great job
In Turkey, it increases monthly, the price doubles, they always choose the same party to prevent it from increasing in 8 years.
