But it's been 4 hours did you get lost?

A defective mobile phone arrived yesterday. I opened it and it was badly tampered with. I was going to say it was a waste of time and return it, but you said let's get on with our business. I decided to examine it and found the fault just like you. Thank you very much.

For anyone curious, the chip in question appears to be an MP86945A from MPS.

I'm really curious how you arrive at what kind of chip it is based on what's written on the chip. Or if you just find a datasheet for the laptop somewhere. Just want to improve my google-fu for this kind of stuff.

In case your previous repair on that liquid cooled machine doesn't work out, I noticed the same DRMOS chip you need. (See 01:57 of the previous video)

I think many gaming laptops have too high a current draw and the laptop is not made powerful enough to handle this. There is too much focus on the thinnest possible laptop instead of the best possible cooling and a powerful enough power supply circuit for the cpu gpu. The two most common failures are ceramic capacitors in first place and power mosfet

I remember how heavy 100-200 watt thinkpads were, now we have 300 watt laptops trying to be so damned thin, same problems with even the 4090, 500+ watts going through some puny little cables.

Good fault find as ever Alex. That motherboard has scratches all over it, even in the middle of nowhere. Looks to me like an oddball factory handling of the board rather than the customer but who knows.

that game is called, making it look like you know what you are doing when you don't. Love your videos brother.Better than factory

My brother and I saw the giant rectangle once in S.W. Pa 1992 at 3 A.M. crawling overhead without a sound...it was MASSIVE.

It is wonderful video. I have a question. How much was the volt and amp you inject the circuit to detect the short circuit

"do we still have a short circuit? YES! the short is gone"

i work in a pcb manufactory and that scratch are from there it happens in the production when some companies care more from quantitie and not quality, for our company is a lot of money they loose when they return the pcbs

Hi Alex, around that VR Mosfet, what and why are there so many solder balls? is this from Heat?

Whoa, a scratch Picasso! Maybe the client was drawing a map? :)

Recently found your channel and I like it! Do you use current limit when you inject voltage? If yes, what is the limit you choose?

Check out his voltage injection tool video on the gigabyte 3080 gpu. He gave all instructions and info in the first 5 minutes. I attached the link to his video kzread.info/dash/bejne/na6XyZeMaNCnf7A.htmlsi=NRL3I5kGL28Vl245

If it is one of the phases in most cases you can try the laptop without it just to see if cpu is survived or not so you dont have to wait for the new drmos to arrive Note: you can try it only with drmos and if it is one of the normal mosfets never do it guys because 20v can directly go to your cpu or gpu! Or you have to desolder all mosfets on 1 phase that was damaged

Hi , what soldering station and tips you use for this case ?

Thanks for yor great work. Thanks alot for sharing your work and experience. Becaudr of your videos i found out 1 ceramic condensator had gotten broken off the motherboard. Tomorrow i will try to solder it into place... havent soldered for 22 years :) learning from the best tho i prob. Wount be using all the stuff you use :D Asus A 15 Fa506 started to dropping in power even tho it show plugged in... And today tadaa :) missing little item. If the fix doesnt work ill have to check the full mb :-D anyways keep up the good work!

Could be a refurbished or used laptop that the current owner had no idea was open and scratched/repaired before

Hi Alex, can i ask which multimeter are you using?

I really admire your work since years. But it seems more mand more newer tech fails, no matter if on purpose or not. I feel very scared even to spend that much money anymore if the failing-rate jumps up.

Make a video repairing the tesla Model S daylight running light SMD, please. it seems there are 1000's of cases of this fault where SMD heats up and blows!

I notice no scratch marks near that fuse as well, so the customer never looked there but you did Alex.

" Maybe I need an external USB " Alex, you're a regular Johnny Nemonic! 😄

working in IT for 15 years now my favorite excuse is "it just turned off" they never do anything...

its crazy man, i got me one of the razer laptops for 3k as a gift to myself in the army. same thing happaned that i was using it then it would not turn on. they wanted 2500 to fix it. they said it was a blown fuze. shame how i got like 20 hours of use but could not return it.

I dont recommend external USB brains people generally dont even use the one they have installed in the head properly

I think owner try to clean it with brush which may have metal contaminates.😮😮😮

Why don't you use the Uni-T UTi260B thermal camera with the macro lens you reviewed some time ago. To me, the visibility of the components on the board is better than with the flir camera. can you elaborate on that? Input from other viewers also welcome!

Because he doesn't know where on the board the short was. So he needed a wider angle of view to find it by looking at the entire board.

'repair' was probably done at some point at the refurb factory, removed the whole mobo, threw it into a mountain pile, they picked that one out of the pile and threw it into the repair and he gets this garbage.

Something loose in there causing a short?

Stevie Wonder previously worked on this board. 👌

"the maze" got me :D haha

Perfect 👌

This doesn't work on a Pixelbook that's playing dead here. I can get into the recovery screen and complete recovery successfully. The battery charges and holds a charge, but I still get a blank screen when trying to power up. Any other suggestions?

Maybe the mother board was changed used. The the shop had it laying between other boards, and scratching it.

Bet it was a 3rd party that Razer deals with, as part of the RMA. Useless 'repair' mills outsourced elsewhere.

on start just flexing how good a microscope camera he have (when he shows the whole board and you see everything even small scratches, good microscope bro respect! xD hahah nice video

Alex, can Big Boss make his own youtube video on how to disassembly and assembly. I found it was killing me when i want to fix my laptop

Looking forward to part two unless you forget to post because your Head Drive is full. 😂

I was scrolling through random videos and saw the thumbnail . You didn't die gaming 😂

The game is called 'Snakes & Ladders'.

Based on the thumbnail, I feared this was going to be about you, not the electronics.

thx milord

Maybe customer wrote a secret message on that board😂

Will the Officer Alex solve the scratchgate? Let's find out, after the commercials.

Looks like he was checking for grounds / power maybe ?

The game is called bodge it and scarper

Is it possible to do something about these companies using defective parts? This just seems to happen a lot.

When I read the thumbnail at first, I thought you died when gaming.

Its possible the customer bought the laptop as "Used Reconditioned" , and whoever did the previous work was a novice..

One thing I’ve learned from this channel is to never buy a gaming laptop, especially a razer 😂

why do people that are going to play games mostly buy a laptop?? never understood it.

Someone did measurements before

test all :p 2 second to see where :p

"Snakes and ladders" 😂

those are the scratchmarks of someone who is just measuring left and right having no clue what to look for.

No shooting game only shorting game

whats wrong? its a razer laptop, their mouse barely survives past warranty...
