Tv's - Diagnose and repair / power supply repair/replace/improvise 

12:39 haha! Sorin can tell you, what kind of component is burning, only by smell the smoke. You are the best :) "mmhh mhhh, Diode! That's a diode!" :D

Sir you are the boss of electronics repair.

Thank you for this channel. I have been retired since January 2014 and I have missed repairing equipment. This channel brings back memories and makes me feel connected to the world again.

You are the best repair shop on the planet. Chip burning and no power no problem I fix it with a alternative amazing work thank you 🙏

Sorin's videos are always a nice blend of knowledge and humor. He makes learning so fun. I could watch him all day. 😁

I LEARN A LOT FROM WATCHING YOUR REPAIR VIDEOS. THANK YOU AND KEEP MAKING THEM. THANK YOU.DON.BYE

Thank you Sorin for teaching, i've been learning a lots from your video never stop coming on new video in a open teaching way thank again, bye Francesco Timpano from Florence Italy

Many years in electronis repair and this man makes my anxiety amperage go to 0.00... Thank you for solving my short circuit 👍

The whole time you were looking for a 5V regulator, I kept saying in my head: "use a buck a converter" over and over again lol.

You don't need expensive Equipment for solving Problems. Your best Tool is your Brain, bravo Sorin 👍👍👍

2 videos in 1 day! Love this and u

Slam alaikum (Hello) im from Morocco is a month now i watch all ur videos nothing to say just ur the honest man in this kind of method of work as a beginner of fixing phone's and laptop's i learn a lot from you thank you so much

Actually watched the full hour. Soon as you said its been an hour i was like oh wow okay! That was brilliant and goes to show even if you think the job isnt possible, there is always a way! 10/10 for this video

That's awesome. I've been learning and learning for a while now and the way you experiment is priceless to me and has finally given me the confidence to actually start trying more advance fixes. I am disabled and get sick too easy and I am only mid 20s I've been trying to learn tech repair for years to make money. It started adding mod chips to game consoles to now finally confident enough to start diagnosing some failed hardware like graphics cards , TVs , a few laptops, reading voltages from overclocking directly from the board. Thank you very much. You have taught me so much. I may have misheard a video around this time last year but I think you said it was your birthday soon and either way happy birthday man.

I used the Buck converter boards to knock the voltage down from 12v to 3v on an LED Headlight kit for my car.....very handy!

HI from USA.....Thanks! I watch the videos..the longer the better :P

Doctor of Electronics... THANKS SORIN

Love it that you try to smell the difference in burning components. 🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍 Brilliant.

very nice videos. I did electrical and electronics engineering but this videos are very practical. This is what every student need.

I love your style sir. Raw material. Not some edited shit

Sorin cook diode for breakfast, he knew the smell of a cooking diode. :D

Thank you soo much i wish i could fix things the way you do. I'm starting out in my little garage. With hopes to start a business. I've watched all your videos and really look forward with anticipation for the next videos. Kind regards Ben

you're a great teacher thanks for sharing these videos

37:50 I like your idea to use that DC to DC buck converter to replace burned 5V chip regulator on the board. You fixed that tv fast and with low cost. For me that was brilliant because, that DC converter (as you've said) is not linear like that one, which you've used in old video during the very big speaker repair, but here this one is switching type, so there will be no over heating danger and also it has coil and big capacitors already on the board, so it is perfect for this situation. I have exactly the same DC converter at home but I've never thought in this way to use it in that kind of case. Great idea! Thank you for advice.

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful knowledge !

Great fix Sorin, them adjustable switching ps boards are very handy, I shall get a few of them, nice work mate, thanks for sharing.

your repairing jobs alway remind me "Doc" Emmet Brown transistor replacement in one of the back to the future series :)

"That's not an excuse; you just carry on." Great advice.

thanks sir... I come from Indonesia really like your channel

hey thank you Sorin. you're awesome !!!!

One more time, an excelent troubleshooting skill! smelts like a semiconductor! haha. Sorin, I wonder if it is posible to make a video about stuff that it is not fixable. I know that may be it is not a topic that people will look for, but it could be interesting for future technicians. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

Diode hmmmm that's a diode smell. You sir are a genius

Another amazing vid, thank you Sorin 👍👍👍

Every time smart solution ... thanks alot

Sorin , use your favorite hot glue on those soldered wires this will keep it in place and prevent any short. You can use it also to glue that dc to dc board to the TV. Thank you so much for your videos. Keep them coming.

Best teacher so far so good

This, Sir/Mister is proper electronics good!

"something should get hot hahahaha",,,nice one sorin..i always waiting for new videos to upload here on youtube cause i know it will very entertaining...thank you for all of your video..every video of you can always give me something to learn

great video as always, learning so much from this channel, just to let you know also saw slight intermittent flickering from your cam, keep the vids coming though!!!!

Outstanding, Sorin.

How the FACT did you identify a component by smelling, its like smelling a fart and saying ah, you ate mushrooms. What ever, you got my like.

Wow! Great solution.

You are so nice, instructive and funny

Great repair.

Nice repair and nice video!

yea 2 in one day cool thats a nice little hack Sorin have a couple of those laying around also

Very nice video, thanks Mr. Sorin, I've watched twice. I really want cut the fingers' that pressed on dislike button, seriously.

welcome back guru

Nice ! That was cool!

Magnífico !

Very good 👍

sir thanks for the wonderful lesson

Very nice.Thank you.

12:46 i love the smell of fresh toasted electronic components 😋😋😋

absolutely fantastic

Awesome job

BAUHN is an ALDI supermarket brand. Here in Australia, at one stage i was going around picking up unwanted (working or non working) TV's. one was a 50 inch Bauhn. it worked but couldn't change channels or something. I asked the owners if they looked at getting it repaired, they said they took it to the local repair people (more than one shop i believe) and each time they walked in with it as soon as the shop person seen the brand they were told they don't repair that brand because it's junk and to just go buy another one. That is my knowledge of the Bauhn brand pronounced BORN here.

Great fix !!!

I think you need a few more of those switching boards, and a hand full of 7805/7812/lm317 regulators :-D

master at work

hey Mr. Sorin could you please make a video about super io chip programing ? Or generally about programable chips on laptops and when we should give this method a shot. Thank you alot for your videos you helped me alot with understanding electronics repair. I wish i had the chance to meet you in person. may god bless you.

just awesome, i heard about these dc-dc converters. they are really nice, except their size...

that is just amazing... just amazing

Thanks for this..

Super man thanks for sharing your Awesome 👏 experience. Looking forward for your next video.

WELL DONE!!!!

Hi Sorin. I have made an airgun. running 350C (oh just thought your 400 degrees is possibly fahrenheit?) and it melts off the chips markings so I sometimes lose the chip orientation. Any advice you can give will be valuable. I will also try 200 cel now.

Great! Thank You!

hi Sorin, love the videos!! just wondering if you`ve ever had to do a non-workindg touchpad button on an ACER laptop (where the button is on the motherboard) AND the actual button is working...would love a video on this??? keep up the good work

All i can say is RESPECT

scent of a diode... :D Let's tango!!! but Come to Besiktas...Sorin....

Nice job.. excellent.. 🙆

hi, nice job. maybe now u can build that promised, bench power supply based on those buck converters. will be cheap for us too. it will be a nice video too.

Lets have a look Sorin! The student is with you, 😁 Ok writting down. Use petro or alcohol to find hot chip. Teacher just showed student to not use finger. 😀

Super

The ultimate knowledge - to recognize the burning component just from his smell..

that a nice video, i think you should doing a lot of videos like that because you are genius man

200 IQ Thank You !

good job

I used the same lm chip a year ago when my sony cd car player. Display did not want to light up. And found missing 3v power rail for the display was missing. And the 3v chip you could not find anywere. So i did improvized. Tought to myself what if i input 3v with another chip. Boom and bob is your uncle problem solved. The funny thing is that we are both romanians

I have a question: You used the buck converter to supply 5V to the pin number two from right to left on the lower part, but what happens to the four pins on the upper part? are they connected to that same pin?

i like this.. thanks.

many thanks, sir .

Your best repair so far.....The owner will surely look for a guarantee on the screen ..... Samsung display :)

"Something will get Hot.......HA HA HA HA HA...." lol

What soldering iron you are using? Good video, thank you.

thank you

That is diode smell....hahahaha you are my guru :)

Now I just want to learn first how to smell smoking parts to be like you in the future sir.. :)

Sorin why are you not using the TS80 soldering iron ? Have you decided it’s bad now ? I bought one.

diagnostic by smell very nice

I wonder if we will see a webcam repair video in the near future. Though I am not sure if Sorin has an extra so we can see him fix it.

Sorin can you please make a video with the most common components which we must have in our labs thanks

The Chip Whisperer 🍻

Great bu be careful with those modules. I would prefer MP1584. Cheaper and more stable. I saw drift after time / temperature when using those larger units to repair old C64 PSUs but the MP1584 was rock solid after about 2 hours at 1.5a. Also they all seem to become unstable over about 2a/2.5a

Wow...Sorin can smell a problem....

hello , can you please give examples of what do you charge for fixing products what is the range because people doe snot want to charge because the product are cheap now another thing what microscope do you use and camera on it thank you

so its basically a variable resister like a potentiometer. The higher the resistance the lower the voltage right? E | I . R Thank you never thought of using it for a repair like this.

Just purchased 10 of the same little power supplies in Australia for just under $15. That's cheap.
