End Of Year at The Radio Shop 2022 

Buddy thanks for all you taught. I look forward to watching you in 2023. Thanks Paul, Ps will get my Patreon back up for you.

Holy... Are you going to crack that baby open? When I replaced my friend's charging port, I had a strange feeling that the sneaky electrons were staring back at me laughing... Surface mount stuff is so small, it's like an alternative universe, where the neighbors are having tea with Elvis at the Spooky Distance Cafe... Have happy one Buddy, and looking forward to more great videos. Cheers!

Happy New Year Buddy. I hate trying to repair stuff like that, I almost always fail. That's why I prefer through-hole components and tag strips bolted in a chassis! Thanks for all you do.

Happy new year, and more radios to fix in 2023.

A grain of salt is the size of a comfortable sofa compared to some of these components these days... No Fear! A flagrant shout out to Paul Daniels and Graham at Adamant! Cheers!

Happy New Year Buddy looking forward to another year of sharing time with you.

Throw away electronics, not meant to be repaired....LOL Happy New Year Buddy!!!

Happy New Year to you and yours, Buddy. Thank you once again for another great video. I really like how much that digital microscope helps you to see the tiny parts and flaws. Excellent. Stay well and Happy 2023. 73 de K7RMJ Frank

Has that overhead camera got a zoom facility? To me that would probably be the most useful feature during livestreams. Sadly such modern SMT pcbs are fast becoming largely non-repairable. We know they are made by highly precise machines, but I often wonder what the board "reject rate" is, while the engineers are setting them up for production runs! Other than simple replacement of things like external ports or BIG chips, board swapping now seems the only efficient way to fix anything SMT. And it's about time manufacturers gave a lot more thought to liquid-proofing personal electronics! Happy New Year to you and yours, Buddy.

Let's just say I'm "intimately involved" with these type of products. The problem is that you won't likely see a public schematic on the assembly. It's all proprietary. Even HP doesn't make these. They're just "ODM'ed" (Original Design/Manufactured) by a third party. Generic parts can be found but if they're not marked, without documentation it's a guess. As you found, sometimes it's cheaper just to replace the whole board but that takes away the challenge of fixing something. That's why we do what we do. Wishing you the best of the year to come. I really enjoy watching your videos. 73's

You're diving into new waters, enjoy the swim. I've been practicing with broken SMD type electronics from Goodwill or Salvation Army. Paul Daniels, Northridge Fix, Louis Rossman, STS Telecom. All good to learn from. Happy New Year to you and the family.

Jusr got set up surface mount as well. Looking forward to this addition to your content. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year Buddy!

Glad to see you making a video for 2023 my friend! 73, Tom k2bew

Happy New Year Buddy, best wishes for 2023! 73 - Dino KLØS

Happy New Years!

Have a good year Buddy, Hope your well.

Happy New Year! I always enjoy your videos. I have the Eakins 1280P with a 60FPS connected directly to the monitor and is very close to real time with minimal lag so it is very useful when soldering SMD.

Happy New Year Buddy. We've all really enjoyed your videos all year long. WHAT A GIFT! May you and the family has the best New Year ever. Live long and prosper....a fan

Happy New Year Buddy .....

Dry run or not, it appears you have it figured out. Just do what you think you should do. A mouse is a switch in my book. Happy new year to you and your family.

happy new year, thanks for all the knowledge youve shared it was instrumental in repairing my ft 101 radios.2E0PYE 73s

Happy new year. Micro..tec.

Happy New Year, love your repair videos! Just wanted to say I watch at 720P and this camera looks bad, like slight blur, the horizontal fine lines on stuff are jagged, the microscope view looked great. Just thought you should have an honest opinon on the camera...
