Fail to fix compilation - Lenovo legion 5 and Razer 14 gaming laptops repair attempt 

Sorin: HELLO, so we are back, so this time we have a NICE LAPTOP 😅😅😅😅

37:15 : the hot spot disappeared because you wiped the CPU clean, which transformed it into IR-mirror, so after that you were seeing your ceiling (room temp). some surfaces even non reflective to the naked eye (like non polished aluminium) are perfect mirrors when seen through thermal cam. Just put masking/painters tape on that kind of surface to "fix" it

Hi Sorin, this why manufactures should be forced to fit sockets for gpu and cpu , also some form of crowbar circuit in the event of high voltage , but all that interests them is money, but a great diagnose of the problem, love the videos 73 Jim

It's now become common place for machines to be bricked by BIOS and Firmware updates that particularly Windows 11 pushes down. I reflash on average 3 to 4 machines a week due to this.

This is where I learned a lot about Repair. Sorin Thank you very much God bless you.

Sound is working fine.

A fail compilation? Will certainly be the channel's champion! hahahah

Amazing process of identifying the root cause. That was very interesting and a lot of learning to take from. Thank you Sorin for sharing this great knowledge with us. The 2 boards rest in peace😢 until they become useful as organ donors😊.

great and thank you for sharing your diagnoses with us.. greetings from Italy

My lenovo legion 5 died after a year and a half. I used to be a big lenovo fan but not now. Unacceptable. Surfed the net and I find I am not alone. Look up issues for lenovo buyers beware. Also see what they are saying about customer service. Watching this video and others has helped me realize what problem my machine is having. Thanks for the informative videos.

Sometimes it's the journey and not the (faulty) destination that's important :) You can't fix them all, but it's great to see you trying so we can learn more fault-finding skills.

Sorin, my ASUS r753u failed with bios update which came from win10. It’s not manufacturer. They outsourced it to windows since not every customer is doing bios updates over a few years. This comment is in context to older video. It’s also a way to end a working laptop after 6 years of use. They want to customers to buy every 2 years. All i do is coding and Computer Science Projects. Good enough computing power for a student.

I've owned a couple of laptops that constantly killed the GPU , after replacing several GPU boards, I found out that, SOMEHOW, the board had VRAM thermal cooling pads that were too thick, ordinarily this may not have caused me to be alarmed until I realized one thing...Thermal pads that are too thick caused the heatsink plate to lift up off of the CPU/GPU(since they require thermal paste), causing an overheating issue that totally destroyed the CPU/GPU.

Many computers have been bricked from the windows update or a bios update. Also many computers are being bricked from updates that over volt the CPU.

This is why I love old laptops with socketed CPU's 👍

3:00 boom!

I had like 4 laptops in a row which I couldn't repair because of CPU, GPU or PCH failure....what a depressing feeling :(.

If you don’t have sound restart the video. You clicked it too fast and it wasn’t completely processed yet on YT. It’s fixed now.

Nice video sir

Easy fix, new Motherboard...

No audio?

4:30 alternative biology class

Bios updates can be delivered by windows or lenovo vantage software, most likely windows.

I too have a lenovo legion 5 with what appears to be a shorted gpu if I lift up one side of the coils the voltage come up and is correct so clearly the gpu and or the vram are rooted I plan on replacing the gpu die for the fun of it but I do t have high hopes

10 ohm on vrm rail is not a short is it? Isn't it normal with even lower resistance on these 1v and 1.2v rails?

Terima kasih pak sorin

I do have sound but its only 360p I think we'll have to wait a bit on the yt servers guys

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 gen 5 (I think - has the Ryzen 7 4800H). It's a beautiful laptop, great keyboard, works well with Linux. Upgradability is also awesome! I want to change the screen from a 144Hz panel to a 120Hz panel (because the 144Hz panel doesn't have a 60Hz option, something that is useful for me).

Thanks for sharing! Will there be a point when you try a Ryzen CPU replacement :) ?

13:05 notify me when its not nice? LOL

Mission impossible.

for who said that windows update doesn't deliver BIOS updates. i can confirm that i have delt with this issue on asus brand, but as far as i know, all manufacturers delivered bios updates specially when the intel gen 7 and under cpus had that 0-day exploit regarding xmp overclock. so yeah, you can get bios updates with a simple automatic windows update. 100%. :)

Off super video păcat că nu are sunet

Hi Sorin Which power supply are you using ? I checked your amazon tools page but it’s not listed. Great vid as already ..👍

I can hear Sorin saying, ''there is no sound, Lol' '. * Oh, wait.. Just change the resolution guys. Sound is there.

300Watts I CAN'T BELIEVE. 🤣🤣🤣

No sound

Hello🤝interesting faults 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

Sorin u should have named it "what peopele want to see compilation"😂

Sorin quiet by the lenovo😂😂😂

Great video, but loud beeping is so annoying 😭 please put a tape or something on the beeper so it is not that bad!

stopped the video at 05:18.... wow that is one seriously welded mosfet. I wonder if you end up having to remove the one below it as well to rebuild the traces

no sounds

Can it be s short on the board itself under the CPU and not CPU itself ?

No sound 😅

If you can't fix it, that's officially dead

Windows is doing bios updates, I've seen it many time

I would like to know if theirs any type of motherboard reader for phone so I could recover all data including pictures everything and send to new phone from the old phone one of the IC chips broke off from the motherboard and now the phone will not turn on or charge power ... this happened because I was replacing a screen to the phone but one of the screws were difficult to remove when I finally did then is were I noticed a chip had broken off. Can anyone help ? Or know how to transfer data ? The problem is I can't turn the old phone on so want to know is there another way or is it completely lost ??

this is nice one problem with this one,two............dead cpu all time

The windows update make bios update , i get 2 brand new laptops hp i5 withe no os , install the windows 11 restart nothing then make windows update and on the first restart make bios update as well both laptops is same no differences exactly the same story wen i connect the WiFi and make the windows update on the first restart

More Legion 5 laptops are coming for repair, which alarms us, do we have to buy Legion 5!

Can you replace a CPU? I mean maybe will not work but otherwise it will go to the bin.

20:35 - I would turn it off before the CPU over heats, triggering my anxiety now. Was waiting for the magic smoke from the CPU. (Yes, I know they have thermal shutdown buuuuut, turn it off.)

Hey Sorin , Video has No Sound

Sorin...why c.c..subtitles don't work....in New videos.....God bless

I saw lenovo laptop and directly I said a bios issue without even starting the video

hi sir how do you record video from micro scope

more fail videos please

Of course is the apu, it’s amd :)))

If external GPU is dead then maybe it can still work with internal gpu, I guess?

Where is your location

NO SOUND

❤

👍👍👌👌

again black and white with no sound to make your imagination go wild

Why are these laptops even in your shop tho? They should still be under warranty

So now Microsoft is now distributing BIOS updates that cause chips to explode....

Lenovo Legion 5 Laptops dying pretty often

No sound😜😁

Sorin, no sound , you should upload the video, because that fault is very big, and we have to negotiate in that fault 😂 , with my respect

I suspect RAM issue

Nu se aude😂

Wow not often you gave up like to if you dare to replace the GPU if there are tool's for it you would try it for sure. Have a nice day 😂

lol

Replace the CPU sorin..... discuss with customer

Yes a nice looking laptop 💻 Sounds like a duck 🦆 but it’s a 💀 dead cpu . And why again? A waste of time. Gaming laptops are bad 15amps 300watt you can kil my wife with it or a 🦆

No sound
