Liquid Damaged Asus Laptop - Repair shop failed to do proper inspection 

A lot of repair shops don't bother dealing with liquid damaged units, even if you replaced this mainboard with a new one the laptop might still be wonky. At least where I live, repair shops have to guarantee the function of the unit for 90 days after a repair, which creates problems when dealing with units damaged by liquid.

@@pubbiehive 6 months in France for the warranty. Also, a shop that only changes the board is not a repair shop but a servicing shop. What i meant when i said that is that the work on a customer appliance shouldn't be done at the detriment of the ability of said customer to have it serviced and repaired elsewhere. Cleaning the board means you lower the chances that the customer has it's appliance repaired.If you're not able to repair it properly then don't even try or at last if you do take photos of where you clean and give it to the customer so the next shop has the same starting point. Some "repair" shops butcher the board and leave the client whiteout options when they fail... In our case for liquid damage we repair the board with the corrosion on it,remplace everything that has been touched and ultrasonic and bake it after so no humidity is left... And it works quite well. Of course, we don't repair what's too heavily damaged unless it's for data.

they either never opened up the laptop or they see the 'damage' (corrosion) and think that its not fixable or takes too much effort to fix. i say bad judgement on their part if this is the case. could also be they simply dont posses the skill level to fix it.. even though its labeled a repair shop. in that case, its great judgement to say no and lie to costumer. although if they lie to keep their shop rating high its bad imo, just tell the costumer that they cant fix it or whatever and sent the costumer to a shop or person who can fix it. That means they have connections to even better skilled repair shop(s).

My suspicion is that they saw the corrosion and immediately deemed to be "no fix".

@@hightttech I hope they tell the customer that they don't fix liquid damage and they don't charge diagnostic / repair attempt fee.

Asus laptop repair? Impossible 😱

Almost 5 Million Shipment for 2022.. just for asus laptop

@@st_us true but did you watch this channel, literally every laptop he fixes is an Asus. He can forget about Asus sponsorship 😅 But then again, we are talking about a company that soldered capacitors 180° flipped in their recent motherboards. Guess how that went

Tf do u think? U think everyone use Razer?Acer?Dell? Most of the users use Asus laptops including the game. Like mine, our repairer in my country fix an acer laptop n almost everyday.

Exactly what I thought. If they are honest and say not something we can fix as chips may damaged etc, then leave it so next shop can see the areas easily

Agreed.

hm, well leaving corrosion also means it slowly makes it worse over time.. but i hear your point.. leave a note with info and clean is best IMO

If the other shop charged the customer for a "repair attempt" for doing "nothing" I would have a issue with your comment, however, Alex didn't give any details in that regard, so I'll hold my tongue until part 2.

Just say no instead of misleading the customer.

Not every shop charged "no repair" fee. The probability of the successful repair of damage due to liquid is very low, so perhaps the other shop made them a favor and saved customer a no fix fee.

isopropyl alcohol

I tried it of course, if it worked, I would have mentioned it in the video.

I think you are here to just comment without watching the full video sir

@@akshaygaming1869 You can think what you want, I watches lots of video's from Alex and I really like what he's doing. Sometimes I comment mostly I just view them.

your 2nd haha

Wow

Interesting thought. I clean boards damaged by leaking batteries with lemon juice, then rinse with alcohol, cross my fingers and examine the carnage. I might try the vinegar on a junk board.

@@hightttech lemon works as well I think, I use vinegar or concentrated vinegar, for all kind of batterie damage. And I found out it will work as rust disolver too. Put the old screws in while the repair job.
