Asus Laptop No Power. How fixable is this. Common problem with APL6012 Chip 

I respect a youtuber who puts no fix videos up as well as the fixes. Makes the fix videos more genuine. People have to understand that not everything can be fixed.

It's sad that a good laptop is scrapped because of a chip that cant be purchased. It's not very eco friendly these big companies need to get a grip

Happy New Year Alex! 2021 had its ups and downs, but one of the best things about it was finding your channel. You've helped many people in more ways than you can imagine. I wish you, your family, and your business the best going forward!

I love your videos and watching it every single day. You are a great teacher and i'm learning so much from you and your experience. Remember the words you heared many years ago it's true, but it shouldn't be. You make it true that knowledge comes for 0$ to the people. I'm very proud to you. Many greatings from germany and i wish you and your family and of course big boss a happy new year !

Happy new year, Alex!! I learn everyday from your videos. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Amsterdam

Started learning laptop repairs a year ago. I must confess to you Sir through your videos I have become better than many technicians in the state that I reside . Thanks so much and wishing u a happy new year . From Nigeria

Great effort Alex!...it's a shame that the part is not yet available...great work!..

Alex...I'm from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I have learn lot from you. Thank you for your time and commitment & dedication to share you knowledge.

Happy New year to Alex, his uncle BigBoss and all the staff. I love your works!

Very great video, even if it was a nofix. Thank you for that long video. I wish you and your familiy and all the members of your shop a happy new year, stay healthy and keep doing what you do!👍 thank you

Happy New Year Alex!! Wishing you huge amounts of luck this year!🤞 Will you be doing any 🔴Live Repairs in the future?

Alex is having a bad day today. Soldering chip wrong way without flux....testing mosfets with charger plugged in...finding a donor finally but ended up with another blown chip...just relax mate you will have better days in the future ..I love your work and your videos keep it up

This video was an emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows... Hate that you couldn't fix it, but as always, an excellent video!!!

Happy new years Alex and family wishing you all the best for 2022. ;)

A no nonesense channel. It's the best repair page I have ever seen

Excellent try. Limited by 'no circuit diagrams/component layouts', but well fault found. Pity the integrated circuit was not available; it happens. Great job and thanks for sharing.

I like your videos. Right now, I build computers but with the new Tax laws here in New York I am trying to get more into the repairs. Your videos teach me a lot. I got some of the tools that I need and I'm hoping to make this work. Thank you for the videos they are very inspiring

Happy new year to you and the family. All the best for 2022

Happy new year Alex. All the best for 2022.

Happy new year to all, and thank you Alex for you New Years sharing

great to see all your videos... It is good to see that not always can be repeared

Happy new year 🥳 thanks for great videos

Happy Newyear sir.. always watching :) from philippines

happy new year alex to you and big boss and your family ...joe in the uk

Happy New Year. At least you did your best to fix.

_Hi Alex, please provide the model number of the laptop so that technical viewers may locate donor copies of the laptop for future repairs, and so that the layman may avoid buying a laptop that is prone to failure._

God bless you from Algeria I love your videos so much even I don't do electronics but I had an adsl router modem it had a bad capacitor and I replaced it using the knowledge I got from your videos thank you so much.

You may not be a singer, but you are a master teacher we listen to!

Happy New Year Northridge Fix

As always good video, we learn a lot from this. Jazakillah khairon

I thought I was the only one singing just not to lose focus 🤣😂 also we share the same off-note voice🤪. Keep up the good work 👏

Happy New Year sir Alex GodBless u always and your family more blessings to come 😇

good job mate and happy new year.

Happy new year from Italy.

I think anyone watching these videos will get the impression this work is easy and end up butchering a lot of their own boards. I started Electrionic repair back in 82 fixing TV,s video recorders and vhf radios etc. Things have changed a lot . I ended up in the 00 doing BGA chips on printer boards etc . before changing into a manager and R&D . You are good at what you do . I am retired now but still have a lab where i restore oscilloscope etc for fun . Would love that camera /mic setup . Do you post ti UK ?

Happy new year, Alex!!

Generally when there's no dead short and the 19v is going through and there's an IC heating up, that IC is most of the time an all-in-one linear regulator and buck converter, which always provides 3.3v and 5v when the board has power. What I've seen happen multiple times is the superIO chip shorting out, which is connected to the 3.3v output of this regulator, causing the regulator to heat up crazy but because it's limited only to something like 150-200mA, not a dead short. No idea about this laptop but that IC that you couldn't find for sale is probably for monitoring the system voltage and I'd bet its connected to the superIO. And given that it blew up I'd be willing to bet as well that it took out the superIO with it, and the superIO is now shorted and causing the linear regulator IC to heat up. No idea what the superio of these newer ASUS laptops looks like, or if they're even available. MSI ones are cakewalk. Just gotta program them but can purchase them programmed if you don't want to learn to do so.

Let’s stick with fixing things and not the signing, lol. Another great video, happy new year.

Happy NewYear, X marks the spot

i got curious about this chip and tried searching for it. I know this video is 2 years old now. But its good to know that we can buy the chips now.

Happy New Year Alex.

Thank you for your video. we can get many more idea and tips for electronic and PCB repairing

Another great educational video👍

If one mentioned digi-key, octopart, and/or mouser for part reference search, you know you're watching a correct person on the electronic device related job.

Hi Alex, as always amazing video!!!

APL6012 Chip is fabricated by TSMC and everything fabricated in TSMC is either out of stock or out of reach, so good luck fiding it

Happy New Year bro 2022.

Happy New Year greetings from Holland from overseas 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy New YEAR! have a question. This common problems on Asus laptos are due bad components? how long last a new mosfet??

Happy new year 🥳

nice video thanks. But, as a chemist, I did not understand the matter with O2 in desoldering. Did I lose some video before?

How is the new soldering station going on with you?

genuine and funny.he is some guy even putting no fixes up

21:38 :) u got good voice👍 hppy nw yr btw

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year :)

Good show of no fix and reasons. Shame there is no equivalent. If they give you laptop do you still charge attempted repair fee? Also looking at ordering some stuff from you eg 500 port box. Do you pay shipping tax or is that down to customer.

21:10 That singing until near the end is wholesome ❤️❤️😅😅

Shame you can not plug your multimeter into your display to over layer over the screen the readings that you get when you measure, love the videos thanks

Awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍

Hi Alex. Thanks for a great video. We need a “best tunes by Alex” video for our children to sing along with please 🎧 👧 😂

Happy new year 🎆

Your singing was great!

Happy New year

@Alex Happy New Year to you and family. Interesting video. I wish you had the laptop model specified so one could check for the schematics. There is something perplexing about this laptop. Why will there be a 15 channel analog to digital converter on board?!!!! Converting temperature data to digital? Traditionally temperature, voltage and even infrared data is sensed and converted by the SIO chip.

Happy new year

While pressing the chip solder under the chip chance to spread and will shorted again?

the bq 24780s its work or not.beside to apl 6012 is rscl and rsda resistor 1k to 10k.rinx and rntcx resistor 10k to 10m.vainx 1 to 3.56v.excellent video.thenks.

salute you sir Alex.

do you use a special duster or vacuum for cleaning the components? I was wondering if an ESD datavac is worth it.

Do you selling the Air-Flux?

Good job

happy new year

Chips not available is a very known problem with Apple products, including MacBook's from 2019 and on. I hate to see Asus going the same ways as F**** Apple

I'm trying to buy a new hot air station but not sure to choose 861Dw or TR1300A I work on high thermal demand boards (high number of layers, thick pcb and lots if heatsinks attached to it) which one you'd suggest, Alex? Also which one has higher airflow in your opinion?

I think that is charging ic, anyway good work sir

Which Asus Model is that? I'm looking to get another laptop from Asus but I don't want to get the same model if that chip is a common issue.

Happy new year guys

I did enjoy the video.

How many u need? Not sure but I think I have 20+ this chip is using to measure the temperature like the BMS systems.

Bonne Année 2022 !

How do you lose part of the video, on the cutting room floor(9th dimension)? 🙂

Base on the datasheet do you really need to get the exact chip model number or you could get a chip that function the same as it?

You have replaced the mosfat with another mosfat number, can you please explain that or how we can choose the replacement mosfat?

Thank you.

Can I change a mosfet with a different number but similar to the original mosfet in terms of appearance???

Happy new year advance

Very nice video sir

Nice work

great singing Alex. just need to improve the ghost writing for better lyrics

You know your a parent.. when you bring out the "Clean up Song" .. and end up singing along.. in my head of course* :P

Is there any website where I can order motherboard chips from? I need a chip with the writing "sm3316 r065k" on it for my laptop with the ms-1762 Mainboard. I can't find the chip here in Germany

Awesome sir

Do you try the board with no chip assembled? It's only AD converter, there is possibility it's only for for some health sensing (voltages, temperatures), and it's not essential for function.

what is anpec, like a middle man for big companies to buy thier ''custom chip" who they get tsmc to make?. apl6012 is like the only 15ch i can find, everything else is 16 channel ..

what probes are those?

Nice Vid. But it looks like you had a crack in the small capacitor just to the left of the chip at 2:13.

When i try to install driver for gtx 570, driver is install succesfuly, but when i look in device manager, driver isnt installed. On the back side of the board, few smd capacitors are missing above pci slot. I replace all missing caps, with ones with same size, and colour. Problem is same, but i think that the values of capacitors are incorect, and because of that gpu isnt working. Can you tell me the values if you know, please.Also i cant change resolution in 1080p or any other then default once

Very Nice
