    computer motherboard repair courses

    Hi, I have the time and the inclination now to take on a computer repair course online.
    Can anyone start me off with ideas. So Far I have seen repairers advertising curses on YouTube which seems perfectly convenient to me.

    You don't have to. Go with many of the Youtube channels where professionals explain their work. The general principles between desktop and laptop repair are the same, the main difference between the boards is in where the power is generated (PSU vs on-board) as well as presence of additional embedded stuff in laptops (e.g. SD card readers).

      You Tube is the first place I am looking for courses. I made a selection and saved them last night . Got to sort through them to see which is best for me.
      The accents of some of the Indian teachers is so much that I do not understand all they say so I think it needs to be an English speaking repair course.
      For a few dollars, I can afford the NZ$5.99 one of the repairers on YouTube charges. I can afford to experiment at that price.
      But I will keep looking, thanks.

        Youtube is unfortunately polluted with non-English (or incomprehensible English) material that you can't filter out. I had to navigate. My tip here is look for channels, not videos. My starters were Louis Rossman and Soren's "Electronic Repair School". However I also speak several other languages and I found a wealth of information in the corresponding communities. I do think folks need to be paid for their work, but I can't recommend any training course because I can't vouch for their quality. I saw one and it was relatively shallow, I honestly learned more from the guy's youtube channel than his paid course.

              The repairs I am beginning to do are donated laptop repairs so it is not going to be so likely I will be repairing Macs, though I am interested in his videos.
              I am more likely to go with the Electronics repair school. He repairs most other computers and it maybe just the start I need.

                Asus ROG Strix Scar G533qm with a G733qm Motherboard, can I modify the Bios to accept G533 Bios
                by glovecaps
                Hello,

                I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.

                My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.

                The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this...

                Legion Y540 17irh motherboard issue ( need help to know how to diagnose my motherboard)
                by Docus
                Hi everyone 😀,

                I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.

                To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.

                Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just €150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:
                1. I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.

                HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D Blank Screen - motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901
                by Archimedes
                Subject is a blank screen issue in HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D version laptop with motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901 MB-A02. Production year is 2012. This one is a 2nd hand motherboard which I could use it for few months only. Suddenly no output from the internal display and also no signal from HDMI port then Windows out of order after few boots.

                Caps lock working normally and no HP's caps-lock warning blinks. Making a hard reset and replacing the RAM sticks or using different slots didn't help.

                Fans are spinning. Blindly could install windows11 and got the device manager...

                ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard recap
                by momaka
                Here’s another motherboard that needed a full recap: an ASUS P5GC-MX.
                This one was gifted to me some years ago by user Pentium 4, along with a few other goodies. It actually came in working order with no bulging or leaking caps. However, I noted there were United Chemicon KZG caps everywhere on the motherboard. The CPU VRM output (CPU V_core) was the only exception: it had only 2x KZG. The rest was 6x UCC TMV 4V 680 uF caps… which aren’t any good news either.

                So here is what the motherboard looked like with its original caps:

                After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
                by dragon3x
                Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                power on.

                Here are some examples :

                (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
                switching supply area).
                (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
                than 6.3 V.)

                1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
                I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
                3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...
