ASUS RT-AX86 WiFi router repair - I got punished for replacing a Mosfet :( 

What an chad . He is old , he has a family , and he was playing Diablo so he had no time for a video ! This guy is a legend !

We miss you, we didn't hear from you yesterday

Haha, "mad busy" I am thinking he didn't have the time to film and edit... but then qualifies with "playing Diablo IV to level 92 lol".

That capacitor got baked by swapping the mosfet and it was already about to blow. You should consider yourself lucky it went because it would have gone bad shortly after the customer got the device back and you would have had a warranty to deal with instead.

"We don't have picture, but it's working" 🤣🤣🤣

i am doing router repairs almost everyday but sometimes i can't fix due to non available videos like this one , please do more router repairs so we can learn more from you thanks

While using the screwdriver, you should hold it straight. New with every screw we all could hear it bounce.

Soren I really like your videos. I think those two capacitors in parallel both failed at different times only because when you removed the SHORTED one, the one remaining could not handle the power alone. Notice you upgraded with only one, but larger size for more wattage. The reason the design power button to a mosfet is to eliminate the noisy variable contacts that could cause strange problems. In electronics when we design without WEARABLE analog parts, thats called “mechless”, it’s ok to use analog switch to drive mosfet so we still get mechanical tactile button without the analog problems ❤

That was a "proper tricky capacitors". All capacitors are made in a factory just to "piss off Sorin". That's their job.

It's not a coincident. When you removed the other capacitor the one adjacent to it also got heated and this heat broke the capacitor!

Looking forward for that capacitor replacement video 😂

Your pain is our gain Sorin! Thank you!

Great video. I still have some of these old routers and they work great!

This is why I always replace parts with higher power ratings since current electronic designs are almost always marginal for overload capabilities. I am old school from Tube/Valve design days. Keep up the good work.

very nice repair Sorin👌

No MOSFET, no shorted MOSFET!! I've been trying to repair a monitor with a backlight problem all day and made it a bit better and then a lot worse! Not really done that sort of repair before so I'll mark is down as experience and hope for a better day tomorrow!

Another great and funny video, and video quality is so high now. Proper nice.

Great fix Sorin thanks 😊

It happened to me once, I was fixing a laptop which had a short on the battery connector. It was a shorted capacitor so I removed it and the laptop worked fine. A couple of days later the man came back and told me that the problem is back again, so I opened the laptop and the short was back on the battery connecter. The problem was also a shorted capacitor which was exactly under the old capacitor on the other side of the board. It is probable that this capacitor was going bad and upon heating near it, it broke down .

nice to see you again sorin after 4 days we didnt saw you
