This guy is not only providing a service to the people, but also to the environment and planet, helping to prolong the life of hardware, and minimising rubbish. ❤

It’s not often that you get to see someone working who is this good at their job. A master at work.

@davidlguerr Год назад

The one to blame for: unleaded solder. Unleaded solder is the culprit of many electronics devices being discarded as being faulty. Sometimes it is just a matter of cracked joints.

@TheBackyardChemist Год назад

And shitty SMD connectors that do not have proper thorugh-hole anchors for taking the mechanical load

@timop6340 Год назад

That connector is mechanically totally bonkers. They probably knew before announcing the product that the connector will last something like 10+ plug in attempts before failing. Or they at least should have known.

@rikimiki12 Год назад

When someone is plugging and unplugging a laptop into a monitor multiple times a day, they should simply use an extension cable so they don't break the monitor socket. They pay $1300 for the monitor, but a $5-$10 extension is out of question.

@pb7379-j2k Год назад

This is what I wonder!! I leave my cable plugged in to my LG all the time and unplug just the computer. Is it just that easy to avoid this?

@billg7813 Год назад

Exactly!!! If people would watch more of these videos, they would see the pattern.

@natedawww 4 месяца назад

I think I managed to fix one of these blasted things, thanks to your instructions. Removing that connector without low-melt solder is quite an ordeal, so I'll have to get some for next time, but otherwise the hot air from the bottom of the board seems to have done the trick for the thunderbolt port. No microscope for checking up close, but it turns on again after reassembly, so it seems to be good again. (We'll see how long it lasts...)

@mikeh6876 Год назад

I own an LG Ultrafine 27" monitor, 4 years, and have never had an issue. But, It is on my PC and not a laptop. If plug in and out often then a short extension should be used. Love your videos - always good work.

@wartlme Год назад

I think replacing factory, lead-free solder with leaded solder would have been better than factory.

@ajandali Год назад

Near the area you applied hot air there were small components, how do you guarentee they don't fly away?

@CheSt3-R Год назад

Cause he used flux around the area. Is like glue and that can be used to prevent stuff like you say ensuring a good repair.

@TheOfficialSethos Год назад

components can't fly, checkmate atheist

@mikeycod7377 Год назад

I wonder the same thing, since the board is upside down you cannot see if any of those components fly off into the ninth dimension 🤔

@UDRElectronics Год назад

Pretty easy and straightforward. Surface tension. As long as there is no physical touching, the components will stsy in place. Its just like a tiny ant cannot escape a drop of water. Surface tension..

@06stangsc Год назад

Is there a risk when heating the board from underneath? Does it get hot enough for any small component to fall off the bottom while doing it?

@pootnannies Год назад

surface tension from the solder on the small components keep them from falling off but if you touch them even a little they will move.

@leeroberts1192 Год назад

Why can't they move things around a little and then have the port screw into place (to eliminate or at least greatly reduce the strain on the port), with just the data and power pins being soldered?

1. Are people constantly unplugging their monitors to make them fail so much? I have an LG 4k and I never unplug it-it hasn’t failed. 2. Isn’t this joint just going to fail again?

@andersjohansson36 Год назад

The connector must be incorrectly constructed. It has clear strong anchor points in the circuit board, but it seems that the small pins still end up under mechanical stress. Shame that LG hasn't fixed this yet!

@smarthome2660 Год назад

I think the difference is Alex reflows after applying pressure to hold down the connector. The factory probably does not hold them down with enough pressure. Alex always holds down components and reflows to unsure a tighter bond, thus we see solder squeezing out.

@38911bytefree Год назад

So they are not even interested on improving the quality, nor have a proper QA or test criteria. Just by runnin vibration tests it will show pretty fast. I know this is more for the automotive industry, but ate least you will be proud of your product.

@stevesmith3033 11 месяцев назад

@@NorthridgeFix That solder is 60% tin. Is the rest just 40% lead 'cause that's a pretty standard alloy really wouldn't make it low melt solder that takes a long time to solidify. Or is there something like Indium in the rest of the alloy? Then it definitely would be low melt

This should seriously be recalled. Customers should file a class action lawsuit. Considering the cost of these things, and that they generally last less than a year before this failure happens.. Terrible business practices, but, big business doesn't really care about the consumer after they have paid.. Sad times

@XeonProductions Год назад

This might be a stupid idea, but would it be possible to just solder a barrel jack via some wires onto the board and bypass the usb port altogether, and then perhaps feed video into the monitor via one of the other ports. Im tempted to buy a broken one of these just to see if it could be done.
