    I take my hat off to Sorin, a lot of repairers would have just replaced the motherboard
    and landed the customer with a hefty bill to pay.

      @Pro5G_ Sorin has earned his income on this one, and people with his skill level don't work for peanuts.
      I have spent a lifetime in consumer electronic repairs, you now require many skills way beyond the ability to use
      a multi-meter and soldering iron.

    • @Barbarapape
      @Barbarapape Před měsícem

      @Pro5G_ Repairing a motherboard that is this badly damaged is taking a big risk.
      It might last a few more years or only a few months.
      The fact that the owner allowed the fans to be so badly contaminated with dust tells me
      that they just ran it until it overheated.
      Guess what they will do when they get it back!

    This was an amazing lesson on board layering and how to remedy when you have multiple layers shorted, a nice angle-grinding technique. These are the types of challenging repairs that I enjoy and learn from the most qualified, watching a pro getting it done is very inspiring and adds to my skillset knowledge. I haven't had many LT's to repair but feel confident after watching so many repair videos. Great stuff Sorin, thank you so much for this lesson !! They can't all be 10 min repairs - that would get old. More fun to have the challenge element involved.
    Better yet, maybe repair other boards such as control boards or a TV or Audio device, just to mix things up a bit. So much to learn ... always learning. 🤓🥱🙂

We can fix this..) then starts digging in a board where i would already gave up on ever being able to fix this alien struck board. You show us every time that you will only give up when you actually found the problem. Because now you actually learned something. Iam just a hobbyist but i also always want to figure out wats the cause. Its either that , Or i somehow make magic smoke.
