Can We Fix a Dead Acer TravelMate B118 for €0? Thermal Cam Diagnosis & USB IC Bypass

Описание: 🔧 In this video, I repair a completely dead *Acer TravelMate B118* laptop. After a full diagnosis, I used a *thermal camera* to spot an unusually hot component: the **USB port protection IC**.

That tiny chip was shorting the entire board and preventing the laptop from powering on. Once identified, I removed the IC and *jumped (bypassed)* it to restore functionality — and it worked perfectly!

🛠️ This repair technique can apply to many other laptops that show no signs of life. USB protection chips often go bad and can take the entire board down with them.
