I seen that smile at the end from Big Boss
I can't help but be astonished at how someone can demand anything from someone who freely shares the knowledge they've acquired through years of hard work, instead of showing gratitude
Well they had the will to pay but I agree these videos already are gold for learning
ever since finding you recently. I'm the type of person that wants to know a little of everything. Watching you makes me want to learn out to fix stuff like this and how to solder. Not for a living but just to know. Love your videos sir!
Hi Alex, usually, capacitors are not equal (in some cases might be, but in general case they aren't). These filter groups are made with different capacitors to filter out different frequencies. It will work that way, but might be not able to cover its initial EMI specs.
After watching a million of your videos, I'm almost ready to pull my ancient laptop out of the cupboard and pull it apart to try to find out why it doesn't start up. It's a scary idea but what could possibly go wrong?
Well, I guess you could make it "more broken" but how would that be any different from broken?
Just go and find the bad guy ;)
You’d have to use thermal camera to see what gets hot 🙂
@@BigRalphSmith very true ;)
@@marekmajchrzak609 I have one so no problem there
Thanks for sharing knowledge.
Watching you everyday is a lesson already. Just difficult for those who have no prior knowledge of repair.
Nearly at half a million subs. Let's get you there soon Alex.
Great job as always Alex !!
2024: "Use your brains!" - NBF The most truest and needed advice by society today.
lol, do you mean "NRF"?
How come? How come what? LOL! Nice repair again Alex, superb work and thank you for the excellent information and training!
Thank you very much for delivering interesting and enjoyable videos! I learn a lot from you.
i'm enjoy in every single video and never disappointed , amazing work 👍👍
The satisfaction after repairing, when you see it`s working, must be high as fuck :))
Our eyes and ears are our best teachers. Really learn? Takes wanting to fix, understand, test, and rethink. Takes experience, even if its a little at a time.
Oh dear, I am having the same laptop Acer helios 300 PREDATOR since 2018 and it's working fine... Who else are having the same? Watching your videos is great fun.. yes I know the pain of micro soldering 😅.
Knowledge gained from experience is like a precious jewel(Good Job)
i think due to flaws in design i think that is why acer ended up discontinuing the predator helios 300 line as my current laptop is a predator helios 16
Nice job
I find it interesting that these ceramic capacitors seem to fail often, not just on your channel but on other repair channels. The quality seems rather sketchy for these components. Thanks for the video Alex. 👋 to Big Boss, Pops and Dolly.
And here i just got the version of this the Acwr Predator Helios Neo 16 it has a sricker stating it has Liquid Metal on GPU/CPU 🤦♂️
Alex, what would you say is the primary reason for capacitor failure in most of your videos? Would it be due to individual poor quality caps? Or would it be more environmental or user issues? Thanks, I love watching your repairs and logic! Big Boss has big cred with me also.
Do you think consumer laptop manufacturers go to the highest quality component suppliers or the cheapest? Same question for the manufacturers of multi million $ cruise missiles.
Most current consumer electronics are over powered especially gaming related devices. Components are usually not tested long term in the real world. It's the consumer who discover issues as time goes by.
How do you learn? From experience..
"How come? How come what? What if? What if what?" Hahahahahaa. 😂
Alienware, I bought one used and it was the worst, never again. Meanwhile, my 10+ years old Panasonic CF-52 died last week, it had a lot of hours. I'm 6000 miles away and poor, so no fix.🤗
Please Tell the boss of all bosses my greetings from Egypt ❤
Big boss touches and its boom..
in any circuit board short without voltage injection.from main power supply can thermal detect hot..ease answer me olease
. . . Seems rough that parts types that used to be reliable are failing a lot . . .
Should do a online course
I have a question for big boss. How is he handling with striped screws on laptops? I have one and I make it worse while trying to remove with rubber band and electrical tape.
How do you tell the difference between a cap and an inductor ?.
Amazing
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
I dont think you need to worry too much about people making copies of a prerecorded course. Most of the value comes from questions and answers that students have (as there would be many) and that would only be available to people who paid for it.
You should make a online prerecorded education course
Good Old Big Boss ❤
You are the one
good
I don't have the patience to do this job, so I will stick to what I been doing for 17 years.
Which would be considered a reliable gaming laptop?
👌
i saw that smile yeaaahh
1 cap to rule them all, 1 to brick them XD
Love from Pakistan.
Lavy from bharat
i love big boss
def. less random failed Dell repairs around than Asus ,MSI. had Asus motherboards in the 90s ,were amazing for overclocking but already crap ,lots of fails
but but... better then factory.... :p
Anatoly!
Acer or Asus ?
Same difference
Came in for no power.
I am guessing.... Bad mosfet.
Final boss
first hehe
ok not first
i would never buy a gaming laptop or playstation console it is all overpriced and has terrible cooling and then dies quickly got new desktop computer and had the old one for 10 years, it is still alive, never repaired both are gaming computers. Motherboard like new, nothing blown up or melted.
Do you accept students from Africa?
why the factory flux is not oily? they are always dry. but yours and ours flux is oily near or below the components even after cleaning
It's a "no clean" flux..non corrosive after use...also crystallises with heat..
@@222inverter I have also a no clean flux, but still it is not like the factory flux, it gets cleaned much easier but still not like the factory. exactly as you said even below the chips this factory flux is crystalized and dry
@@hp2073 it depends if it's Rosin based flux?..as some are water based.. there are different types
90% of short circuit is a faulty capacitor.
