Hp 15-AH150na laptop, dead, not charging - liquid damage repair 

As a firm believer in the right to repair movement, I respect you very much sir. You are an amazing teacher, more like a magician. 🌼🌼🌼

Somebody, please buy this man a Flir cam. He deserves it!

Always entertaining to watch you troubleshoot & repair the fault(s). Thank you for all of the repair videos you do. Always learning.🤓

I love waking up too your vids Sorin.

thank you Mr.sorin for the good lessons

From Kenya, thanks for these videos

Nice job Sorin you’re the best 👍🏼

Thanks, Sorin very interesting.Really nice way to teach and share your repairs. Keep it up to its so Appreciated.

Wow this is the 4th video I'm watching so far and my god you sir are a genius... Your knowledge is priceless wherever you work you are a fukkin BIG ASSET Amazing how you jump straight to the problem and mostly know where to look... truly amazing brother...

thanks for being a good "teacher". Dodgey School .

It was clear that the short was on the other side of the board. If it was one of those caps, it would be quite hot, and we would see the petrol evaporate quickly. I could see it evaporating from the PCB.

Good Job Sorin

And i was waiting for you to find the hot spot and say ' AYYEEEEEE' ha ha . I'm supprised that the mess on those chips and other parts didn't kill anything. The bad capacitor saved the day by shorting the main supply out lol.

You are a good man sorin

Atât am vrut sa văd 😀 FastAF as always

Great job 👍

Thank you M.r

good morning am kemar from jamaica you are doing a good job

Nice work

good job mate

You are one great tech,

Good video!

It will work wiout that capacitor? How does it effect the function? Thank you for your teaching I enjoy it

classic one, i like it :)

Did You replace this cap ? What with other components ? Did You resolder them to be sure that they will not be corroded for some time ?

Love from Kenya Sorin.

Sorin nice job. You disconnect the WiFi antenna. Did you ever broke the connector? I did a few times but what do you do then? Can’t fix it professional can you

Sorin! The fastest way to find short is to use 1860 high discharge battery. Please give it a try on video

you can open keyboard but as some other comments already mentioned its very time consuming. keys and pads are molded together with small plastic pins, they can be melted carefully and sepatate metal shield and key pads. The way Sorin fixed with a transistor is much more efficient.

1.are you replace back with new at short part or just leave only like nothing there, 2. any function of mainboard part have a function like before 3. or just ignore for any problem after?

Why you didn't replace the damaged capacitor? Is that okay to left that empty?

I wish I could bring my laptop to you! I'm having a strange issue on an HP laptop. The screen no longer works, but the computer does. The connection on the board where the screen cable plugs in is getting really hot.

You can open the keyboard, and you can fix a lot of things, but for such a job you need a lot of time, so it is always questionable for a service if it is profitable, for a private person who has a lot of time, time does not matter, so it is worth trying

Hi mr Sorin. My name is Shaon. Greetings from south africa. I would like to comment on small matter. U can look for a used s60 CAT phone. It has a flir thermal cam on it. I just bought one on Facebook market place on my area. It does the job to check the shorts. It coast me 1500 rand. In dollars about 75 British pound. I hope u can get one to make ur work more easier. Thank you Mr sorin for sharing your knowledge and skill.

lets buy this guy a thermal camera

where do we get the datasheet of the motherboard?

hi sorin, thnk you for the videos, i leaned a lot from u, but now, i need ur help! i have a lenovo b575 laptop that is dead! bios chip 3.3 is 0.652 volts and the 5v is gone.(i checked on the chokes and mosfets, mosfets were good and they had 20 volts and no short) someone told me your cpu is gone or its a fch issue, but i think its only the 3.3 5v ic (the driver chip) could you help me out?

onde comprar mosfets e chips? não se tem este equipamento em casa para desoldar e soldar nem um microscopio.

I did open broken keyboards with keys not working and did manage to fix the traces in order to make them functional again, but the fix is not reliable usually and IT IS NOT WORTH THE TIME. Usually, unless you have a very expensive keyboard that somehow is still using membranes and trace sheets, they best action is to just throw the keyboard away and replace it.

Sorin. I tryed to fix a laptop today. It was a HP Elite Book 755. It seems to be of good quality. When i plug the charger the charging lite is blinking and also the power buton, but it dos,nt do anything. First i disconected the bias battery, then tok it apart with care and i disconected the the battery harddisc and ram keyboard and powerbutton screen. It was of course i disconected the blinking, but i found the blinking on one of the coils. 19 volts is ok. i had one coil with 5 volts and one coil with 3,3 volts. and one coil with blinking 3,3 volts. I told my frend that i cant do so much more because i didnt have more than a multimeter. Though he gave me the laptop and said thank for trying. What do you think it could be. I dont think it is a short on this 3,3. the diodes lights up good and i cant mesure short. Do you hav any ideas?

When you inject voltage where to you usually inject it and does it matter what side of the component?

Sometimes i open the keyboard, its not that hard, but you must have a very lot of time and luck to not broken key hinges because you must take off all keys. I have a video with cleaning laptop keyboard in my little library :)

why did you not put another capacitor?

Cool..

What is that liquid you use

Almost a long screw damage :)

Sorin, ask Ash a proper nice thermalCam

what would be a good starting point to learn to fix stuff like this?

Sorin you tested for shorts with voltage settings on the meter?

I like you Sorin

hello rando with a dead laptop from water damage awell i found that a buzzing sound comes from a grey square labeled ir5 it only has 2 legs and gets hot when buzzes could that be what died, any suggestions? thanks T edit: and if so what is the part names and where could i find it??

I'm an electronics beginner, how come it worked when you removed the capacitor and didn't replace it? id really like to know, love the videos also.

So you just removed bad capacatitor but did not solder a new one?

Hello - I came across your channel searching for repair info on HP Laptop 15-ay039wm that suddenly has a black screen with the CAPSLOCK blinking once. I have read that this indicates a CPU problem. Is this correct and do you have a video on how to repair this problem? Thanks!

What are you using to clean the board?

people in discord are crazy, they said do not inject 19v on current sense, but wow sorin, maybe those high end person in your discord is not watching your vidz

My laptop in a new one.its a Ux325ea.it was removed due to ticking sound from the fan. The battery port was removed and fixed again as it was before.But the laptop doesnt turn on and even i if i plugged it to the charger it doesnt turn on the charging light too.Can i please know a reason for this issue😢

I'm not a technician but you removed the blown capacitor but you didn't replace it?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Well, we talking with the customer, if he want that we change the Keyboard we do that (extra Charge).

The customer is a dirty bastard however Sorin you did not replace the faulty capacitor, also you did not cable managed that ribbon cable correctly, i hope you did that off camera, if I was a customer and I was getting this type of service I wouldn't be happy. You really should take a picture before you disassemble before reassembling to make it easier to follow how things were. But if you do that off camera to save video time, that is fine. I bet this particular customer would not even bother but some of people are neat with their hardware.

Hi as i know You didn't change the damaged capcitor

I see you use Zippo lighter fluid to clean and trace the Heat. Can one also use Electrical Contact cleaner to trace where the Heat is coming from? Is the lighter fluid also safe to use? Thanx

Hello teacher ..iam from malaysia

Hello teacher 💪

Can someone explain why he didn't replace the capacitor with a new one? Why do they add a capacitor then when it works without a capacitor???

Capacitor went nuke! -Sorin: What do you think it the problem?

Thermal camera is a good idea!

Blow with Air keboard

Hi Sorin I like your work, but one thing I think you are wrong. When you test motherboard with voltage injection methot you use 19 v. I think this is wrong. If you have a short mosfet on cpu power supply you can burn the cpu for example. You can use 1 or 2 volts for exaple. Sorry for my bad english. :)

How to avoid this damage your pc

Hi Sorin it is very dangerous with 19v to main power rail on the current. If you have a shorted highside mosfet you will instantly kill the cpu, gpu or PCH

how could that thing be turning on so long

so typical in the industry when clients roll up with these filthy machines, but the excuses of what has happened is more about what they dont say than what they do say happened

I would clean that with disinfectant before I touch it

When will you ever buy a thermal cam?😁

i see many laptops everyday, but its always kinda disgusting how people let their devices being dirty like this. :D

Bye 🙂

hello sir want web sit that give me file for any bios freely

on tv ir remotes you open u and clean rubber keys and board contacts with alcohol and it restores the remote functions lol no need to buy a New remote

hows it going, wonder if you know what my problem is. I have a samsung rv510 that randomly shuts down and restarts. I have changed power jack as this was broken anyway, repasted both gpu and cpu, checked ram, battery charges to full then dies after a few minutes without the power supply plugged in. This problem is doing my head in. Could it be just as simple as buying a new battery or do you think its a dodgy component mosfet, or cap cheers alan

You use lighter fluid on a laptop?😳

Needs another stick of ram

Hi hellow sir, what is the benefits if i join your channel. Thank you 😊

The lap working without one egg like hitler

Hey Sorin, when will you buy a proper microscope with non blurry but sharp image quality? :D

The problem with this laptop is that.... it's a HP laptop.

😍

This was a sloppy repair, I would clean the motherboard better, and I would replace that capacitor, that you removed...

Very LAMBÃO

5 minutes lol

I have a omen laptop-15 with water damage. Can it be fix? 🥹
