Re: laptop or tv repair
TV's seem to be easier. Because...
The boards are simpler and there is a chance to find/get schematic...
The boards are generally more crude, so it's easier to do component level repairs...
The bad thing is that usually the software and the processors are not widely available...
Laptop repairs are harder...because...
Everything on the board is so small, that you need microscope to see it..not to work on it..
Generally no way to find full schematic and even if you do it's nearly impossible to trace multilayer boards...
But for older models you have much and very cheap spare parts... And the parts are much more universal...Useful conversions. I don't "speak" imperial. Please use metric, if you want to address me.

Re: laptop or tv repair
tv is easier if you have plenty of space .. laptop not so easy even if you dont have space for tv.s .. cars are easier than both of them so long as your garage isnt full of broken tv.sLast edited by petehall347; 03-24-2017, 05:30 PM.Comment

Re: laptop or tv repair
I am slowly building up the equipment to start laptop board level repairs, or rather to add laptop board level repairs to my current range of repair services. I am going to be focusing on on apple mac boards as I have most of the schematics for these now.
Equipment wise
Soldering workstation with range of smd tips (Pace themal pick or variant) (have)
Thermal tweezers (highly recommended) (have)
Hot air smd tool I have a Pace thermo drive (on order)
Irda workstation useful to have
If your are going to get into removing larger BGA's then you will need something like a well Weller WHA 900 and probably an irda work station (on order)
Through hole solder extractor pace endura sx80 (have)
I have obtained most of this equipment on the second hand circuit as and when it becomes available, to save on costs all the pace equipment is run by a mbt250 three channel supply and controller, my hand soldering arrangements are currently covered by a well wsp80 watt iron and workstation supply. For more thermal mass I will be adding a pace variant as and when one comes up that is compatible with the mbt250.
good microscope and video camera (have)
No matter what tools you obtain though spend as much time as you can practising on scrap boards.
decent test meter I prefer Flukes 77 or 79 are good examples and can be obtained relatively cheaplyLast edited by llonen; 04-14-2017, 07:55 PM.Comment

Re: laptop or tv repair
I think the key to success in this business , is never to refuse any kind of repairs . Even if you have a small space , you can hire persons to do at home repairs .
Even more , i can say frankly , that few repairs are the difficult ones . Many repairs are as simple as cut inputs , twisted cables , empty batteries , inlets not functioning and laptops drying of the type " Was it unplugged " ? .
On the few difficult repairs , when you charge 50$ and more , it's not a weird thing to buy a schema ... You'll use it many times later .Comment

Re: laptop or tv repair
If you want a lasting career, consider doing data recovery on phones and laptops.
With the decreasing prices of phones and laptops, sometimes they are beyond economic repair.
Data, however, is important to the user. Baby, wedding pictures/videos that aren't backed up will be worth $$$.--- begin sig file ---

Hello, first of all, excuse me, I am using the translator, English is not my native language.
I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S - 14IKB laptop.
The tablet did not recognize me when I connected it, so I checked the device manager and I realized that there were many with the exclamation mark, so one by one I began to update their drivers until the sign disappeared of admiration, I even updated the BIOS, and the laptop rebooted normally and worked, so far so good, but the tablet still did not recognize me, I read on the internet that it could be due to a... -
Dear all,
Bought this used Dell laptop PP24L(studio 1435) in Jan 2022. It was running smooth on 64 bit Windows 7 pro from processor Intel core Duo T6400@2Ghz with 2GB RAM. The laptop battery was charging and working fine until few months back the opening screen will display something like "replacing the battery warning", press F1 to continue. Normally i press F1, the laptop will proceed to Windows and i can use as normal.
But last week, after i pressed F1, the laptop just shut down. I suspected the laptop battery is dead. So i pulled out the battery and... -
Hi, I want to ask for advice about an interesting issue I've been having with a sony vaio laptop.
Client came and said that "a desklamp touched the back of the lid while laptop was operating normally and it caused the office's circuit breaker to trip. Laptop had never turned on since".
After taking the laptop apart (checked dc adapter everythin ok), I found a faulty MOSFET on the motherboard which I replaced. Laptop managed to turn on. However, while booting it shut down. Nothing else seemed faulty and thermals were ok. Shutting down was coming at random... -

Laptop : Lenovo Y520 i5-7300HQ 16GB RAM GTX1050Ti 240GB NVME SSD 1TB HDD.
I bought my laptop in 2018, the guarantee ended in May of this year, it's been working(mainly gaming) fine for all this time except a minor issue with Windows warning me about power surge on USb port all the time when gaming, and it wasn't my mouse, I tried another mouse and the same issue, so I thought it's a driver problem and just ignored it.
My real issue:
My laptop appeared to be shutting down randomly at first, and when I try to restart it, the keyboard lights turn on, the...
