These tutorials never get old or boring

This is a future of laptops, instead of dealing of 2 screws in round pin charging port, now we need to deal with a soldered 10 pin type-C port, that soldered like in a first year student project

Nice job, I usually use longer wires and solder them to further places like vias. This lowers the probability of breaking connections again

Lucky man always fixes Nice laptops!
He can not believe he has picture at the end!

20:41 I love when you say "we have a picture" 🤩

Every time you have a successful repair you won't believe it and i can't believe 😂😂😂😂. You are a great teacher. Much appreciation

[ruudvansteenis]

It's better than factory! 🙂
(I would have added some hotglue to secure the port.)

[chuckbenedict]

I'd only offer this repair without warranty because it will get broken again. But, amazing fix. I was skeptical it could get done.

Your videos are so educational and so much fun to watch. 😊

Charging via USB C is design to fail. I am using the same laptop model and was aware of this design fault from day one. For minimizing the risk of ripping the connector I am using an angled connector. It helps a lot as the leverage is much less than a straight connector. For me this works fine since years. I would advice this to all users of USB C charging ports.

You identify the problem well, Sorin. As soon as we begin a customer relationship, it's there ready to bite. I had a PS5 come back after 6 months of fixing the HDMI port. Of course, the fix should last longer and I've never had port come back so I take it back. Not able to say if was impacted again, but just reflowed it again no questions. Sales even worse, especially refurbished. Every problem the customer has (like not being able to look up stuff online) and another load of support messages come back.

soldering skills "on another level"

I actually start by disconnecting the battery. Older laptops with batteries that pop off, its a quick way to tell if its the battery or not. its a bit of a hassle now that they are inside, but its often the first thing I try, then I check the power connector.

What size copper wire to fix the charging port? Thanks!

[retrocomputinggrotto]

LOL - I've never seen a laptop with chocolate damage before!! I remember when laptop power jacks came on a very easy to change cable rather than soldered directly to the board.

[j.lietka]

Thank you for the great troubleshooting!! And great repair! 🤓

They should use a small extension now so they Dont have to plug and unplug from laptop

epoxy resin copper tape onto the board where the pads were, then you can solder the traces to the copper tape. it will be nearly as strong as new.

Sorin can we use USB 3.1 Type C Connector 24+2P Male Female Breakout Board this type of repair?

[hippynurd]

I just realized that sorin, and rosin have all the same letters and only 2 letters are swapped.
