Asus x553S not coming on, just a nice Friday fault 

Ok, I need a t-shirt with Sorin holding soldering iron and big "Nice friday fault"

The Alcohol trick is awesome !! Thanks to one of your previous video I managed to fix 2 HP Laptop for my children! Thank you and Have a great weekend !!

What i love with him is not only a great electronics teacher, also great ethics; " make a good diagnise, make a fair price" . I also disagree with comments like "dodgy" :), i rather call it pragmatical, cost effficient, and solution oriented. Keep the great job up.

Hi Sorin. I don't know why yt was not showing me your videos on my feed. I'm subscribed and I was thinking you were not publishing videos anymore. With this video you came back to my feed suddenly after nearly two months not showing your content. I'm glad you are still doing this great didactive content.

Always top quality, educational videos. Thank you from Portugal

Nice tip about the flashing light in the power supply!

The best electronic teacher Because of him am now a laptop & phone tech Nairobi

"No petrol left." "OK, let's use some alcohol then... Petrol run out." "OK, no alcohol left." 😂😂😂 Awesome video like usual, thank you!

my sister gave me a laptop same with the one you repaired and with similar issue ..I followed your step by step diagnosis and repair and amazingly it also had same shorted capacitor..you saved me a lot of hours and probably patience just to repair my sisters laptop..thank you!!!!

i have learnt so much from this man he is the best teacher ever i have fixed many laptops thanks to watching his videos

I'm a beginner and I finally found a good professional. Thank you very much for the content 🔥 I also btw have a blue Lenovo which is dead lol.

Have a nice Friday...I love your technical skills...may Allah blessed you and your family...you are very very good man .thank you for your teaching us.👍👍👍

Love your faultfinding methodology, 10/10 would buy a pint

I very much appreciate your videos. Being confined on a small island in the southern Philippines, all dead and lame laptops land on my desk. Currently I am overhauling or repairing 3 laptops in Japanese language. Your hints and ideas almost always help me to find the origin of the problem. The alcohol trick is one of the best. I use local rum. Cheers and thanks.

your a good teacher sir.

Finally friday and new video from Sorin.Best day of week :)

Your just so good at this stuff. i don't know how you do it so quick.

Have a nice weekend Sorin

Great video as always

No proper calibrated fuse this time ....lol....thanks for all your videos Sorin

Thank you sorin you are a genious. The only time i would use petrol on a laptop is to set fire to it after a failed attempt to fix it :). have a great weekend.

Hello Mr Sorin, I hope you can do more videos of small board repair ( different electronic gadget board like ). small board are easy to understand for beginner like me and very educative. and I think that would help to learn how to test components and find the fault with your way to diagnostic. Nice Friday and good weekend ;) Regards.

Thk your explenation mr sorin

Nice one master Sorin.

Thanks Sorin , Great as always . ; - )

Always Great thank you sir

Wow , another great repair .

Sorin! I just found the BEST way to find short!... Connect a 18650 cell with high discharge 20 amps.. I would like to see more chips smoking !

thank you my teacher

Thanks 😊

Very nice!

Nice laptop. Hehe I fix same one a few days ago.

Great job bro

Thank my master

Video too short also because you are very experienced. Great Sorin!

tkx again for interesting video greats from Africa

You are amazing!

Your the king!!

Sorin i Just love You ❤️

Thank you Sorin for this video. I hoped you would record a video for this Asus laptop that you diagnosed during the repair of that Panasonic DVD player yesterday. Did you ever have a case where laptop actually starts and shut down after few seconds or a minute during windows loading? I had recently two cases of „ No power“, in both cases voltage on power connector was about 1 or 2V. In both cases there was a shorted Mosfet producing some power rail (GPU or 5V). After mosfet replacement laptops start but power is cut after few seconds or minutes.

Great way to locate broken component!

Would you ever burn some thing else out if you bypass the mosfits & limiter? Those caps, are they polarized? Thank you, I always learn a lot. Peace

Not good friday but great friday.

Thanks for the video. Did you replace the bad cap with a new one?

11:39 wow! finally you are gentle for the motherboard :) all pads under the capactior will survive.Yeeeey! :) it could be even more nicer if you could take any donor board from your scrap and took from there good capactior from 19v power rail and replace it here. It is 1minute job. but maybe one day will see that on you video :) fingers cross :)

Greeting from Mexico

Hi, thank you your videos, I really like your channel, I have a question: about the kind of petrol you use, is it an normal gas we use for machines car, bus... or some thing special for electronics. thanks again

Just a newbie question, when the capacitor`s gone, and you remove it, don`t you change it with a new one? Can somebody explain me that.

I love that screws driver....where cam I get it?

Thank you again teacher Sorin for more knowledge!

Nice 🔥🔥🔥

I like these shorter videos, my attention span can be limiting at times.

Hi Sorin, thanks for the beatiful content as usual. I wanted to know ask two questions to you: 1) it is advisable to solder a new capacitor where the old one was removed or it doesn't change much the behaviour of the circuitry. 2)Which kind of alcohol did you use to spot the hot zone? Was it Izopropanol? If no which kind was it? And may izopropanol make shorts between the wet components? Thanks so much I have been following you for years but since I recently got my new equipment and some computers to fix I wanted to delve in those repairs, so any advice about this two topic would be welcomed. I would also appreciate advices from other members of the community with more experience than mine ( which is basically null apart some engineering academic education ahah).

Hi.have same laptop over vga video working but not on lcd.any sugestion.love you video and great content. Cheers

Got the same problem çan you fix for me

""Nice Friday Fault""....lol

Good day Sorin. I have a question why did you not change the capacitor that you removed, don't you need to put back a new one to make it stable? Can you tell me what model is your power supply you use for testing? Thank you Sorin for everything looking forward to a reply ;)

Does anybody have a list of what he uses to repair these motherboards? This video just inspires me to learn motherboard repair.

Nice video Sorin, whos that bold handsome guy in the back?

😎 too cool man ✊🏻

Hello, this comment might not be related to this video in any way, but I know this is the right channel to ask this question. I have been following and watching videos from this channel beacuse I am very interested in electronics repair. I am from Kenya and looking to set up an electronics repair shop here. I am looking for advise on a magnifying desk lamp and the magnification that can help me inspect the tiny components on a logic board comfortably. I'm really restrained financially and I have no 100 USD to spend on a microscope. Links to what I need on ebay will be very appreciated. Keep up the good work. You've inspired me alot.

Would you please tell me about flux ...I made home flux with rasin and alchohol but it looks like as super glue ..I need to know how can I make it to be easily to remove or soldering smd IC graphics IC thank you.

Hi sir I wanna ask .if i have a power supply . Wich gose off when there is a short .do i have the shorted element get hot?

You could use a current shunt in series to show the amperage at the start of the video. You could use the oscilloscope as well. Just for fun! Keep up the good work.

Okay effort

NICE

Thanks Actually in my . country people avoid Asus because of this fault, but now I understand they are only trying to protect the PC,

Sorin we are waiting for NEW VIDEOS!!!!

I have always wondered after watching your videos for so long, why do they put in 2 caps when one would suffice?

Hi you should check this out - right to repair in linus and rosmangroup,you should help with a video too.thanks.

Not getting what you explained in the beginning regarding current pulling. can you explain..

Anyone know if laptop screen that showed pink then faded to white and now dead screen can this be fix without replacing screen?

How do you check current on motherboard with multimeter if it’s not connected to power supply?

thanks Sorin,do you handle projectors?I have LG projector model Bs275 stuck on standby,checked logic board by applying external 12v and 5v it comes on ,but power supply only gives 5 v ,missing 385v and 12v,tried to check components everything seems to be okay, could you be having schematic? how can you advice?

So if that cap was shorted, don't you have to solder another cap insted?? How can we find out the value for that ? Or the new one has to be bigger in size to work fine ?? Just curious

I did see the laptop before:)

15:07 what kind if weird things would happen? Can anyone explain.

where is the cmos battery on that asus x553s model, i cant find it to reset the cmos, im stuck, Thx
