Board Repair Basics #1 - Introduction 

Your tutorials really make me feel like I've wasted the last decade of my life at school, you definitely are better at teaching than my professors are

I definitely love that you've aimed this at hobbyists and recommend going cheap on equipment to start, helps give those entry level people confidence that they will be fine to start off with basic equipment instead of worrying about getting more expensive stuff.

I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now but have decided to start at the beginning as my new soldering station has arrived in the country from wish. Happy new year to me, but more importantly, thank God there are people out there so very generous with their time and knowledge. Thank you.

I'm really glad to have found this series and your channel! Thank you for all your effort and explanations, you are a great teacher.

I do professional board repair everyday when it comes to soldering irons you don't get more with more expensive ones. The important thing is to get a t12 cartridge style tip that has the heating element in the tip, not the old fashioned ceramic heating element that the tip sits around. There's tons of knock offs that can be had for as little as 20-30 bones. I have a hakko but I almost never use it and use my knock off t12 i got for 25 dollars on amazon. Also for board repair 2 soldering irons is much more valuable than 1 valuable one. It makes removing smd components very easy like smd resistors and leds. A good iron stand that preferably has a spot for brass shavings and a sponge is also a good investment. I don't use my hakko station much at all but I do use the stand.

This guy is an amazing teacher, this is the first video I’ve come across and I can already tell I’m gonna learn so much

I'm one second into this video and I must stop to commend you on your absolutely gorgeous wall decorations. If I wasn't in a wheelchair I would be replicating that fantastic room decor myself in my room.

I'm only 5 minutes in, and wow! I can't wait to check out more of your channel. And THANK YOU for truly starting with an introduction on budget equipment and scope of the video series... I've done very basic soldering and repairs for years, but always been more of a software guy, looking to learn more hardware repairs and understanding. Ok, onto the rest of the video!

I am loving these basics videos, thanks so much.

Simple and awesome intro! Loved it. I want to learn more from you

so much thanks for all the effort you put in this channel !

thank you for your video. this is really good for a beginner like me. i would recommend to all of my friends for the efforts you put in on this. amazing!!! greetings from India.

this is the first time I found this kind of teaching video on youtube. thank you for your kind sharing!

I love your videos. Thanks a lot for all this very useful information. You are an inspiration.

I have been thinking of learning how to repair boards since seeing Louis Rossmann repairing them with a 2p capacitor and that's all it needed. Now I've seen your playlist and having watched some of your reviews I will be watching intently. Thank you for posting them.

Congratulations and thank you for these amazing videos!

Love your channel. So informative for an Amature as myself. Many thanks for the great work!

You are very generous with your knowledge. Thank you

Thank u sir for sharing this, especially for us that dont have enough time or funds to train.

Concise and practical. Very nice.

Love your videos cause they are very informative, great stuff my new friend.

you explain this in a very good way thank you very much

Congrats on the video! Inspiring tips to start in-depth electronics studies.

Your channel is really interesting. Keep up the good work.

Nice explanation for the beginners.thanks for video.

Thank you so much for this, I am really just dipping my toe into electronics and this is really what I need just to see if I have the aptitude. :)

Amazing and interesting work👍

Very informative video! Thanks!

this video is really a big help.... Thank you.

This Guy is one of the best man which i see here which give damn reallllly the best to learning fast and good . You Roxxx and big big THX !!!! :)

Now that I will have all the necessary equipment (including an analog oscilloscope, for more learning) I will get a damaged or non starting powerbook board, so I can go along with you in all the basics more easily. I have an accessory question, if you don't mind : what can be written for a sensing current resistor, on the board ? (should it be written Rcs every time or most often) . I did see Louis Rossman using a software that links the schematics with the board layout (but it seem to be somewhat expensive, not really possible for my level of learning ;) ) Best regards

I am loving that intro tune. ❤

Good introduction and great tutorials. Keep them coming . Thanks

This video is very very rich, thank you very much, this is what i am looking for

Amazing, AMAZING WORK!!!

hi.i would to ash regarding your power suppy..were i can buy with the same one?i have mine but it does not give amps without shorting the test probe

@AdamantIT wonderful content. I have a m-atx Mobo (MSI k9agm4) which seems to have a short. I have checked and all surface mount caps close to cpu socket are shorted. CPU is not installed and also RAM is not installed. This Mobo is outdated but would be a great learning experience. Please advise me where to start, I'll get you more details if required.👍

Hi, thank you for your tutorials. I need help with hp proone 400 g2 touch that has no power. I changed adaptor and even applied 19.5 from bench power supply but draws no current. I assume that indicate no short circuit on the board, but does not power up. I have reset the CMOS battery , but also didn't help. NO led light is on once you plug power in or when you press power button. Any idea what is it? Very much appreciated.

Excellent !!

Very well spoken video.

Great job, thank you

Awesome video

HELLO ADAMENT! Am an avid Subscriber, you are my first 'Go to' when diagnosing PC issues! I recently built a new Computer in my old Tower with an MSI Z390-A PRO Motherboard with an Intel Pentium Gold Processor G5400 CPU @ 3.7GHz! Next added 64.0 GB DDR4 3200 Ram! Also a ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1 Video Card! Recently upgraded all my HHD's with an Intel 660p Series M.2 1 TB SSD Drive C and two WD I TB internal SSD's! My Computer now boots up completely for a cold start in 30 seconds!!!! (Once in a while when I turn it on, it Boots into the Bios Screen)!!!(But when I wont to boot into Bios, no matter what key combination I press it wont go into Bios on Command)! Windows will not display on my Digital Monitor but I can see the Bios Screen on another HDMI Output to my 32 inch TV! Am running XMP Mode and Gaming Mode on the MSI along with allocating 3/4 of my Ram to Process my Adobe Premiere 2022! My Question is: How do I get the computer to Boot into Windows EVERY TIME? And secondly, How do I get my computer to boot into Bios on command?

Awesome video !!! Awesome music !!! :)

Thank u very much for sharing pls do u have recommended books on how to test electronic components

Thank you so much, which books can I look for If I want a good understanding of power system architecture of desktop, Laptop and smartphone pcb

I build pc's looking to update my skills abit, great content! Thanks

Sir please where can i download these .brd files from.

Epic tutorial, can you make the same with lcd led televisions? thank you very much

Hello, I have a problem with a laptop lcd/led port on an Acer AN515-42 laptop that has been partially burnt out this is after I installed a replacement lcd cable. I do have a picture or so. What do you charge? Could you fix something like this at all?

Nice information

Thank you for your tutorials, could you guys share where are you looking for the schematics? Many thanks

Which camera have you fixed to the adjustable stand for magnification?

In 10 minutes, and after 36 years in IT, I learned how to see what that inflated capacitor is doing (or not doing) in that old ASUS motherboard that went belly up last week... Good enough for me to subscribe.

Hi, I have a schematic in pdf file. But how can i get the .brd file to using openboardview?

Thnx u for knowledge sir

please tale me what we need -- Pdf schematic and openboardview software support file type

Thank you sir....

On two occasions, in the video, the physical board is held up to compare to the board-view on the screen... Both times, the board is held upside down compared to the image. Just an observation. ;-]

May you tell me what is the best resources to learn laptop repair

Thanks for the video =)

what an amazing tutorial i ever got, please sir how could i get the schematics diagram?

Hi Adam, having downloded openboardviewer I can't get to find anything on the schematic PDF, what am I doing wrong?

Hi Sir How i get file board for use with program openboardview ?

I just found this, thank you so much!

If I'm not mistaken, the board you held up isn't a MBP but a White unibody MacBook (A1342) ... :)

Where can i get the board view file for HannStar J MV4 94V-0

Hi Adam You mentioned that Apple service diagrams are available if you know where to look. Could I have a link for my mid 2011 iMac i7 27" please. I have looked and looked. Thanks Adam

Sir, I am a photo copier technician. Can I know how to find circuit diagrams of photo copiers such as Toshiba e-studio 257?

Get a good soldering iron. Critical. I thought I was terrible at soldering until I bought a real one. Hakko 888d is $60-80 and I still use it and have several irons now. The $20 eBay special (2 of them) flat out didn’t work

C7408 connects to Louis Rossmann's favourite circuit. PPBUS-G3H. As he constantly mentions about 100 times per video.

I am a Field Technician In Texas and do Breakfix for computers, I have a Fascination for Electronics and will like to learn how to Soldier to acquire this skill set and eventually work as A Component level repair fixing motherboards. I have acquire the following to start, Kotto Extractor, Kotto Solder Sucker, Silicone Soldering mat, QuadHands Deluxe helping hands, SRA Flux Pen, Tip Tinner from Thermaltronics, No clean Wick, Rosin Core Solder SN 63 pb37 0.8mm, HAkko FX-888D . Which Fluke Multimeter do you Recommend or other items i might need? I was checking out the Fluke 101, 107 and even 117 but have no idea. Sincerely Irvin Thanks

thanks you sir

Good basic 👍

thanks for the great intro! that Open Board View pgm, does it come with certain schematics? does it have a database? thank you again

Thanks 😊😊

I'm pretty sure I just picked up that same soldering station. Looks like a yihua unit

Thank you

Thanks 👍

cool intro music!

hi mate .. i m a big fan of you . i watch you for long time and got here a few motherboard's with big problems but i would like try sort them out or just get a bit into it !! coud you tell me please what your heath gun model and name please ??? thank you big like

Good video. I'm curious, when a micro component like a cap or a fuse go bad, is it physically visible as in burn marks, leaking goo, obvious cracks or breaks? I know you can simply test it w a meter.

Just by look at his wallpaper, I can already see that he is a man of culture as well
