Electronics Repair Fails and Mistakes
Hello guys. Long time ago I was fascinated by electronics so I started learning more and more about them. I was always fascinated by the fact that I could take something dead and revive it. My uncle was a repair technician and used to show me all kinds of tricks and tips in electronics repairing. I was always good with my hands and I have fixed many devices since now. Mostly PCs and Snartphones. Today as I was opening a samsung galaxy s6 the screen broke. I am very disappointed with my self. I have done things wrong in the past and broke approximately 3 devices since I started the repairs. I have successfully managed to repair about 40 to 60 devices until now. But sometimes I feel like I can't do it anymore because I don't want to break things but I want to fix them. Also my parents told me that if I keep failing like that I won't be able to make money and I will always throw away money on taking the responsibility and refund the device owners for the damage. I don't know guys. Please tell me. Have you ever failed? Is it so difficult? Am I not going to succeed? Will I ever stop making these mistakes?

Good morning everyone, this is my first post and I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes in the post.
I have a Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16IRH8_LOQ with the typical issue of stripes on the screen, but I made the mistake of replacing the screen without physically removing the battery, thinking that just pressing the SW2 button would be enough – it wasn't. The board showed consumption, with LED6301 lit up and PU301 getting very hot. I replaced PU301. Now, the board is not working correctly, but it has no consumption, LED6301 stays on, and I haven't found any other signs of a short... -
Hello, I have an issue with the motherboard. Specifically, it doesn't power on, more precisely, the POST initialization doesn't occur.
Let me start from the beginning, the motherboard suddenly stopped working one day. There are no beep signals from the speaker, and the debug LEDs are not lighting up. After inspecting it under a microscope and using thermal imaging, I didn't find anything that could be damaged.
After that, I began voltage measurements, in which I noticed the absence of VDDQ, VDDP, VTT, and VPP lines. Later, I checked if there is an EN state on these lines,... -

I have an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 no charging indicator and not powering on via AC. Battery is totally dead (0V) and I'm in the process of getting another battery that at least has some charge left in it.
I have no idea where to start so without plugging in battery and plugging in AC, I measured main voltage rails with my analog multimeter. i've also attached boardview and schematics for this motherboard.

Hello wise friends,
I have a HP Envy x360 m, 15m-ee0013dx, with motherboard GPR51 LA-J493P r2.0 that will not power on. When connected to AC power the charging light turns on to white with no battery, and orange with the battery. When I press the power button I hear a faint click and the charging light turns off for a second, then it turns back on. When the charging light turns off for a second, the powered rails stay on.
I forgot to note that with no battery, no AC, resistance to ground at PRB1 is 147k ohm.
With the battery and AC plugged in, PLB1 goes up to 13v to charge...
