HP Spectre lädt nicht mehr: Defekter USB-C Port & Kurzschluss repariert!

❌ HP Spectre X360 suddenly stopped charging – no picture, no function. The owner replaced the battery, but the problem remained: The laptop only turns on briefly and then completely refuses to charge. 🔧 In this video, I investigate the problem, analyze USB-C measurements, find a massive short circuit on the motherboard, and replace a defective capacitor. Afterward, the device can be charged again via one of the two USB-C ports – but the second port remains non-functional. I explain why a Thunderbolt controller is likely the culprit – and why the customer decided against a full repair. 💬 Let me know in the comments: Would you still replace the controller – or is a working charging port sufficient for you? 📦 Do you also have a broken laptop, smartphone, or other device?
