I will never get tired of your smile when a job is done and working Alex. Thankyou for the content brother.
It was so cool meeting you the other day. Thanks for taking the time to personally help me with purchasing some tools and supplies from your shop. When your customer came in I can totally tell that you are a total people pleaser and happy to help your customer. Until we meet again…
This guy is awesome, and a hell of a tech, teacher and all around good guy.
and he make shiny joints. :D
I think the takeaway from this episode is DO NOT use liquid metal ... Thank You 👍😊
Some manufacturers use liquid metal from the factory. However, they typically have protection keep it from leaking.
Liquid metal is excellent at heat transfer BUT if you don't know how to apply it correctly then don't try use it
there is a use for liquid metal, but it's completely stupid to use it on laptops.
laptop cpus are not meant for overclocking = why liquid metal
laptop coolers are wimpy, and don't have any pressure to hold them tightly against each other = why even try to apply liquid metal, it's just gonna spill everywhere.
+ 90% of the population can't even apply it properly = just forget about liquid metal in hopes of getting 1-2 fps more in games.
I think it's fine to use if it's on a console or desktop where it won't be moving around much
They never listen. Now the costomer has to spend another $2,000 on a new laptop because of liquid metal!!
Enjoyed this one being a bit longer Alex, thankyou for the content 😁😁
THANK YOU! I have a ASUS ROG GL502VM that has a failed power issue. I didn't even know these were repairable! I already contacted your company and have my paperwork to send it in tommorow. I am so happy to see you are able to fix these. I hope mine is fixable as well :)
Hey, is your laptop working? Plz reply I'm facing the same issue. I have an Asus Rog g15 2022 which failed 3 days ago.
Very nice repair! Lot to learn about proper soldering.
I changend two switches of my PC-Mouse today and it workt great! Normaly i struggle with desoldering and soldering on little electronics... but since I watch your Videos I lernt alot about soldering and how to do it .
Keep up your great work!
Greetz from Germany
I learn a lot from your work. Thanks for posting all you have. There are lessons in EVERY video you post. Even the non fixable ones. Your methods of troubleshooting are remarkable. Btw just the name liquid metal scares me knowing is being used on electronics, and then you show the negative effects. Watching from Jamaica.
Love the longer videos. Great job as usual
I think the takeaway should be, DO NOT purchase a ROG gaming laptop until they can come up with a better solution for keeping the PCBA cooler. MOSFET voiding and bad Caps are also a huge issue for this laptop.
When I see someone take something like this and preform there skills it is like magic. To bring something to life like this is amazing.
wow what a great video alex ... a short shop work flow can we have more of this please .. and also nice to see big boss included in your videos ... regards joe from uk
I find these repairs so fascinating. The beneficial part to me is seeing the trends in bad manufacturing so that I can avoid those particular brands :) Thanks for the great honest videos!
It's nice to see you take pride in your repair.....when we see you smile...we know its a winner!...John
Good day, Alex. Your videos are always great and in this one you did a lot of measurements. Every time I feel that something missing for me, you always telling the result of measurements, but could you please, organise a small window in any corner of the screen to see the multimeter result?
Thank you for your hard work to show us a lot of tricks in this job.
"It just plays games, it is a gaming laptop so..." Love this guy's sense of humour
I used to own an amplifier that someone described as having more dry joints than a hippie's ashtray.
You are getting my passion for microsoldering going again
I didn’t expect my laptop (the third one) to show up in one of his videos but thank you also I love your work
@@MyTubeSVp around $300
hey which zephyrus/rog model was your laptop ?

Nice job! Got my 'dosis' Northridgefix today. Now I can resume my day. Kind regards. Marcel
love your repair video buddy very relaxing to watch .
@northridgefix when you get time can you make a video to go over all the tools and equipment you currently use and your website links you are doing an awesome job and we greatly appreciate the repair videos keep them going
Thank you! I am a hobbyist and learn so much from your videos. You are always very informative. Great videos! I am addicted to watching your videos 😀
You do always epic , but if your visible multimeter, DC power meter, hot gun meter at right corner which will helpful for us ! You are always our mentor 👍 😊
I do learn more with that short and rich videos than others very prolix and boring. Thanks, God speed .
your the man Alex! 3 in one video... that's probably a normal 30 minutes for you lol... you probably could have done like 6 motherboards if you weren't needing to do the video at the same time!
Awesome! Like the longer video! :)
I don't miss anything to your videos and watching every day that your video to learning about laptop repair,iPad,phone that so good i think,especially to interesting for me is like to repair VGA. that's so good.
Thanks a million for the guidance 🙏🏽
Liquid metal does have 5-10 times the thermal conductivity of thermal paste; however, it also conducts electricity. It is absolutely essential that it NOT be spilled onto the circuitry. Evidently, most people use far too much and it squeezes out and causes shorts. Better use thermal paste unless you know what you are doing. A 1 mm diameter bead will spread to cover 3-15 square cm depending on surface roughness. Seldom would anyone need more and usually should use less.
It's mind-boggling to me how many people are willing to buy a product they do not understand, and open up and tamper with their $1000+ device, before spending 20 minutes worth of research into what it is they're buying or how to apply it.
@@hrodberht3152 I certainly don't get it. I mean, w/ liquid metal you need some barrier to prevent spillage, right. So taking a laptop that [I assume] didn't have liquid metal and putting it on seems like it's asking for trouble... but what do I know. I'm a Playstation gamer who only knows a thing or two about PCs.
having said that, last night I ordered a Rog Strix Scar 15. Intel 12900H, 3070ti, etc that uses liquid metal. I imagine that one was user error but now I hope these have a barrier to prevent the liquid metal from spilling onto the board lol... seen a video of the application process, etc but haven't seen an actual video or pic of the chip pre heat sink.
I have seen people cover the immediate surrounding area on the CPU with clear nail polish but this stuff is all over the board!
@@sarges1712 it has a barrier to preventing liquid metal from spilling and its applied by machines if not mistaken.
i come for the smile after the fix!
الله يعطيك العافية انت والبغ بوس
Hard to hide the coop from an old whiley fox. Good job. Cheers!
Wow...great long video to relax on weekend and watch your incredible work. I just asked myself why using liquid metall on a notebook that is not made for it to use. I would never do that. Thanks for this "asus"-session, it was very interesting. Greets
I think that was a gaming laptop, not a notebook. is it that laptop on the right that didn't work ? he said it's the liquid metal one. 18:00
You are doing an amazing Job!
thermal camera is lifesaver for real, good job
3 peat crazy good pro level work!!
Thanks again for another informative video. God bless.
The Bob Ross of fixing parts. Thank you Alex for what you do
good job mate.
Good day Alex, I enjoy watching your steady hand on the micro components. Being a retired electronic keyboard tech for 50 years you have a unique method of troubleshooting. I have a curious question on the liquid metal contamination. Might compressed air not blow the metal from under unseen connections. Of course I wouldn't do it on or near the work bench for concerns of future contamination. As always IMHO!
its probably already damaged the CPU.
I think sucking is always better than blowing.
NO! I'm not gay................HA!
Or even vacuum it off with a small nozzle.
you can try with a lot of isopropilic alcohol and a very smooth brush. I managed to save one like this but it can also push the liquid metal even further.
@@michaelaltun can CPU be replaced?
great video.👍
U should do some tutorials for id and specs of smd electronics
I have like 10 years on this type of things and man still learning with ur videos.
The most awesome is how fast u id the problems and know voltages, resistance, and how works each element.
Really hope u can do tutorials
Where I live I have to fix my own things bc the people here isn't honest and don't are so transparent like u on the videos.
ما شاء الله اللهم اصلح ما بيديكما تحياتي للخال big boss
Hi Alex
Best ways of troubleshooting circuit shots without applying voltage to the board?
Best and easy way to read mosfet to detect defective ones
well done northfix you fix everything
very cool fixes
Great job
On the second board, when you replaced the cap, there is/was a spot for another SMD next to the cap. Was there a missing component, or just a spot for an optional component?
that flux is great stuff. thanks for the info......................
awesome job
Good job 👍
Thanks!
Hii Alex, thanks for the new video. Great job! Hypotheticaly if i were to use the UV laquer to seal the cpu edges do you think this would work without any drawbacks?
my question would be what would the benefits be off the liquid metal compared to high quality paste ? 2 -5 degree better heat transfer ? not worth the risk in my eyes.
espacialy on laptops which are beeing moved constantly nor is it really worth it in normal setups in my eyes.
it could be usefull if your trying to run wr overclocks with liquid nitrogen cooling but then again i wouldnt run that in my laptop or regular pc neither lol.
i would get a special setup for that.
@@cornnatron3030 liquid metal is 8X more efficient at transferring heat than thermal paste. Personally I've seen cases of core clocks dropping from 100c to 81c after installation, but the amount of effort and thought you need to do it just doesn't make it worth it. Honestly manufacturers should just be reasonable with consumers and explain you cannot have a 300 watt CPU/GPU combo inside a laptop that is 5mm thick... If they built the laptops to properly cool the parts instead of being thermal throttled constantly it wouldn't be needed.
master degree in perfection and patience
Awesome job! Just one question, how do you know what capacitor to replace dead ones with? I'm guessing you can't meassure the capacitance due to it being dead? Do you have a schematic of the boards?
Because he fixed too many of those devices he remember their value and also he have the same mother boards . So he can measure from it.
And for some of them he have schematic of the boards!
Here those all from his vids✌️✌️✌️
Sorry sir,,,,
I'm from Indonesia, I always learn on Asus and Apple videos
In my country, it's difficult to find tutorial like this, also coz i'm a poorguy😅
But,,, I hope,,, if you are free, please upload it often every week
may god repay your kindness
Any way to make this liquid metal solid or stick to something? Is it soo much better than normal thermal paste that it is worth the risk of destroying your laptop?
Good job 👌
Good job Boss
Great job as always. Thank You. Allah protect you and your family my brother.
Ameen.
Hello, thanks always but got a Toshiba satellite got no overheating issues but a few minutes after booting it shuts down unexpectedly ,,, help with an insight
My joints never shine.. unless lit. ;) :p And i concur. one does not simply apply some liquid metal without proper knowledge. 1070 RIP.. ;)
Hi, i was thinking, is it possible to upgrade a rog laptop that has soldered the ram? Upgrading from 16gb to 32gb ram LPDDR5? The laptop uses liquid metal. Is it possible or is there any restrictions on the motherboard in having a 32gb ram soldered on? Thankyou !
three for the price of one! well done
Good Job
Turkiyeden selamlar sizleri takip ediyorum ve severek izliyorum başarılarınızın devamını dilerim iyi günler.
I am considering about metal battery tab from third repair. What is worried me is any shaking won't cause any problems with the connection
Hit three birds with a single stone. Good work. Love from India
Hello, Why do you think this is happening for Asus laptops? Is there something we can do to prevent or is just bad made? I also have an Asus one, want to make sure mine wont run into same issues.
Awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍
Hi Alex, the first one is that a non Fixable Damage?
Does the CPU is not possible to remove and resolder? That's kinda stupid from the Factory then and increase E-Waste a lot. Missing the Times where CPUs are just locked on and with a switch they could be removed. Ain't there People that Fix CPUs? I am new in this all.
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
1 suggestion for you.
I think you can use flux dispenser it will be very useful to you.😇✌🏻
You R "our" 'IT national treasure.... and even though you don't... you're still SMOken! Cheers
Great job man, but where you find ammount of shorted capacitors
i wonder what would be the outcome if you used a air compressor to push air under those components to get it cleaned?
El conector de batería , yo lo habría fijado con un par de gotas de pegamento bicomponente, solo un par de gotitas y queda sujeto de una manera mas firme y soporta mejores temperaturas.. un saludo.. Desde España...
Nice long video!!! :D
how did you know the value of that capacitor without schematic? thank you
Nice and shiny joints
Lucky Video 3 repair in One , Oh Yeah!!!!

Is it possible to use ultrasonic cleaner for liquid metal?
Would Isoprop alchaohol under pressure in a spry bottle not work for moving that junk
Use clear nail polish around the cpu for protection if you wanna use liquid metal.
Bravo 👍👍👍👍
It's the smile of satisfaction that shows you enjoy doing what you are doing, and that's stopping our overpriced electronics from going to the big circuit board in the sky 👍.
This man is sassy and genius 💪👌👌👌
I’m about to send you mine, I used to do circuit board repair, had IPC certifications but it’s been a while since I troubleshooted or was in the industry. I have a GU502DU motherboard from ASUS, buddy said stopped working, I checked the mosfet with the meter one side is 20V other side is 4.20-4.5V so I definitely know a component is shot just can’t determine which one it is.
Nice one
all praise is due to god bless you with the Talent good job
Very nice
Nice ❤️
Are all these laptops out of warranty or is warrant voided because the user opened it and damaged it in some way? Ie apply liquid metal, replace non user replaceable battery etc? I'd think laptops stopping working due to capacitor or mosfet failure should be covered by warranty if the laptop was bought 2-3 years ago.
cleaning Liquid Metal is a big waste of time
Hey there is a very small ic a little above the battery connector that burned up, does anybody know what it's manufacturernumber is (GL704G(W) Laptop)
salaam brother's i hope you see this ,i love the videos keep up the great work.
Nice 👍🏾
Alex, why don't you use a wick in this case?
Scientist spotted 🤣
I watch his video's so I can keep my device safe from damage.
nice Vedio ☮️👍
