That's the thing customers don't always understand. They aren't paying you for only the time you spend on the repair, they are also paying for the hundreds and thousands of hours of experience you had to undergo to get to this point.

"we do not need to be better than factory..." then proceed to add flux and touch up.... Golden

That second laptop you showed that you fixed earlier in the morning is mine. Can't wait to get it back for my son to use for college again. Thank you!!

Wouldn't it be nice if customers would tell you the whole story. So much harder having to reverse engineer the series of events. Seems like, unless the DC jack was also getting bad, that the customer did nothing but added a second issue. Great job Alex! I appreciate your videos and explanations.

I cant even describe how much I have learned from this channel! I have always been into electronics but now I can repair almost anything. I will be upgrading to a better thermal cam soon and then I am done!

[matthewdev]

You're very good, I was impressed with how you managed it even without schematics, I hope they pass right to repair so you can keep doing your amazing job with even more quality and speed!

You’ve taught me so much. I’ve been applying these skills to my job as a field engineer working on analytical lab instruments.

π Filter !
!first time school helped with something!
it's even shaped the same ( 2 Caps and a coil in the middle ) and the coil was missing.
the problem in this instance is that it's better to replace with wire because as an RTX gaming laptop the 0 Ohm resistor/Fuse is gonna be under serious load ( 200W give or take )

I love that even when something causes you to scratch your You refocus and perserviere ... You are truly magnificent ! Thanks for excellent content !! Perhaps one of these days my Asus G703GX will end up as one of these video's

[gamerpaddy]

looks like a ferrite bead to block rf interference from or to the dc jack. not really needed, a piece of wire will do just fine.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I'm learning a lot from your repairs and I'm still training English, thank you so much 🙏

[ppcasm_]

He is correct when he says it doesn't matter how long it takes, and that you're paying for experience. I do a lot of computer programming and hardware repair and hacks and I can't tell you how many times I have explained things that I've accomplished to other people, and I paint the picture in such a simple way that those people think they can just go out and recreate like "oh, so all you have to do is..." but without them realizing real life isn't so cut and dry and by the time they realize how complex coming to those simple solutions actually is, they're completely dumbfounded.

The one thumb down on this video is from the guy that tried to sue you lol

[sargeue]

I have the same problem with my ROG laptop, no power! Watch all your vids and greatly appreciate your knowledge. I will be sending in my motherboard to you guys for sure!

This man's a genius.

I just paid 55$ at my local repair shop to replace a blown capacitor on my Dell. It was tiny, tiny like a grain of sugar, and even after soldering a new one - it didn't work. So I had to go to another shop about 2 hrs drive away and spend another 75$ plus 3 days to get it fixed (coz they didn't know where the prev shop had screwed up).

Alex here does it so easily, I wonder why other shops are unable to do the same.

[TheThore]

I don't know if I had the guts to place a 0 ohm resistor instead of an unknown component. This experience is what makes you special. Thumbs up.

[sandiledlamini]

Òne day I will visit usa 🇺🇸 and I will make sure I come by ur shop .God bless for ur lesson and I've learn alot from u sir.

[bassamxp]

good yo spot the missing component. I dot to admit it is extremely hard to notice.

[lucasdias]

Congratulations Alex.
This looks like a pi filter formed by the two caps under the missing component, that it is an inductor.
This topology is used to filter noise from the power supply.

Your videos are awesome, you inspired me to learn micro soldering. I do tinker stuff but not with this high level pro soldering stuff. Greetings from philippines!!
