You're not just repairing stuff, but you educate your viewers. nice job sir, always satisfied with your videos.

@tschupbach 2 года назад

Sorry to see you had so much trouble with this repair attempt. but it makes me realize I'm not the only one who goes down a rabbit hole from time to time!

@repeekyraidcero Год назад

I mean.. you are retracing steps of engineers here...

@blueskin1978 2 года назад

Although a no fix (for now) still super interesting! Not every fight has a knockout in round one

@LtKeyser 2 года назад

I was surprised you didn't inject voltage after the first chip no joy as you do so often for a result. It was odd enough from experience to be worth an overlook. Your hunger for understanding made you do it in the end anyway, good for you. How often do we get stuck with yesterday's prejudice and fail to apply basic practice? This job is as psychological as it is technical. What an everyday challenge.

@churcheil 2 года назад

My repairing speed has upgraded highly just because of your videos.Thank you so much

@210_bk2 2 года назад

Yessss same

@repeekyraidcero Год назад

Hope the quality increased too :p

@churcheil Год назад

For sure

@imadb2933 2 года назад

It's been a while since we saw you struggled repairing a device. I personally like these type of challenging repairs.

@harleysofttailtx 2 года назад

I'm really glad that you don't just show the victories... that you also show us the dark side of micro soldering, and that is the rabbit holes that seem to have no solution.

@andrasszabo7386 2 года назад

Before watching these videos, I used a Weller solder sucker every time I wanted clean holes. Now I use wick instead very often. That is why every repairman should watch these videos. I learn a lot from them. Ever since I have learned from these videos, and practiced, I am changing charging connectors like socks in the morning.

@fletch3576 2 года назад

Only recently found your channel...you make the diagnosis and repair look so easy and explained in such a straight forward way 👍👍💪💪

@elibello5306 2 года назад

I started watching this guy, he's real and upfront. No editing. He shows it as it happens. He shows that he's professional, experienced, but not perfect. I learned a lot from him and ordered from his site, so I can do the basic and possibly the hard repairs. His videos are better than spending money for a school.

@sblgamesinc Год назад

He definitely edits. There's several videos where he talks about staying up late to finish editing. Great content though.

@robandsharonseddon-smith5216 2 года назад

Oh. I so wanted that to work out for you. Thank you for these amazing videos - because you do all these brilliant repairs, I can sit back, think I know it and never have to prove it! Keep it up!

@erosnemesis 2 года назад

You always reaffirm me when my techniques lines up with yours. Thanks for the videos.

@adrianhacker7972 2 года назад

I love your videos. You gracefully show how mistakes can be a strength when we can admit them and learn from them. You sir demonstrate the soft skills of trouble shooting very well.

@melplishka5978 2 года назад

People sometimes don’t understand that it probably took you a 100 hrs to get that experience. So it coast Alex in the beginning but now it’s starting too pay off. But this is exactly why experience is priceless.

@davidefogagnolo 2 года назад

Sometimes experience can throw you off. On the road, the moment you think you have mastered your car or bike, is the moment you are the most likely to crash. Always question yourself to improve even further

@naidol 2 года назад

Thank you. Look forward to Part 2. Gosh it must take you much time to make these videos and publish. God bless you... From South Africa.

@hightttech 2 года назад

Respect to you for posting this video. I've tried shortcuts just to find myself at dead end. So, I get up, stretch legs, get coffee, reset and try again.

@SauvikRoy 2 года назад

Even though you're so skilled, you also could run into rabbit holes, but you can find your way out. That is perseverance and dedication even after skills and experience! I could trust any repair to you! Good work man!

@rcardona2001 2 года назад

I kept asking myself through this video why not inject 1V and see what is getting hot with a thermal cam. I enjoy watching these videos even when you struggle. I think you probably know more about the switches than most

@Southridgecustoms 2 года назад

21:05 that mosfet has a hole in it

@CrAzZyTheCodingBoss 2 года назад

@LtKeyser 2 года назад

Whatever it is, is has to be checked. Now I don't see how to reconcile this with a hot CPU. We'll see tomorrow I guess.

@razvanzada8416 2 года назад

Thx Alex for the hard job and for your time. Looking forward for the part 2, really curios what is wrong with the board. Cheers!!!

@zyxnull 2 года назад

You know what's funny? These are the kind of jobs we get when opening a shop, the level of frustration is huge, thanks for sharing, seeing and expert like you struggle like us, mere mortals, give us some hope :D

@benjamindee4859 Год назад

I enjoy these videos very much, as Krisna Bayu said, not only are you entertaining, you are also educating. I enjoy learning to repair electronics, and in 1 video, i realise that i am grossly underequipped and poorly educated on the matter. I dont repair for cash, just the experience

@mohamedhussein120 2 года назад

Thank you for of the honest that you give for the people who watching you👍🏾

@Cabeza492 2 года назад

Seeing this repairing monsters fail on a fix attempt makes us rookies take a deep breath and think how much we got to go on studying and learning, and practicing. It's always inspirational. Not to give up, just stop to catch some air and let the brain work on background and come back later with a fresh idea.

@philipmervin6967 2 года назад

Alex, you put forward a lesson to learn from mistakes for the viewers 👍

@czerus2233 2 года назад

I like long videos like this Boss 😁👌. This really put more details that there will always a bunch of different things how a device, console and or any electronics could go wrong and finding solutions and tackle the issue is what matters. "You'll never knew what comes knocking on that door" 👍😉

@flrazvan 2 года назад

If you manage to fix it, you are the champ of board repairs.

@davidsenica8175 2 года назад

This is a perfect video for people to understand why the price is not charged by the time. Even expirienced have difficulties trying to repair the bord sometimes when it seems easy.

@polonavarro6177 2 года назад

that soldering iron that You use is amazing. the tip always brilliant

@bigdog8882 2 года назад

When I read shorts in multiple circuits; I use a 5 or 6 thousand count multimeter, and the circuit or component that's reading the LOWEST resistance (in milli or micro ohms); I start with that circuit. Thus eliminating the very small resistance of the trace or other components in the circuit. Love the soldering skills.

@edgarvilmanyi3948 2 года назад

Excellent video, thanks... How much degrees those thermal pads resist?

@DanRing 2 года назад

I love the honest down to earth videos

@MoTheBlackCat 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for showing the good AND the bad!

@musikdoktor 2 года назад

Knowledge is power.. Wise words!

@Solder_it 7 месяцев назад

Nice video, each one should make a steps to be followed just like: 1-whenever you have a short you need to trace it with thermal cam to save time or else. 2-when removing a component measure if you still have the fault before replacing. 3-always work with your standard(if we have this we do this even if you have an experience, just double check no shame in that. Thx for the video

@stefanlechner 2 года назад

Such a tricky switch. I hope you will get it done. Well you are also a human as we all, we all do mistakes or just don't have much patience. Try it on the next day. Good luck. Hope to see a second part. Thank your for that long video, greets

@jamesrhyangalera2639 2 года назад

I like watching your videos because very educational and help me improve better its just like having a pro tip watching here in Philippines

@iTCXtreme Год назад

Nice vids, I use low melt solder when solder this connector to prevent the plastic melting on the back of the usb. 🙂👍

@MirceaD28 2 года назад

Free lessons from the one of the best.

@AceSolomon94 Год назад

Did you attempt the video/audio chip? (P13USB Chip) That can also prevent the switch from charging since it's also in the same circuitry as the power ic chip. It's worth swapping out before considering it a non-fixable board.

@matijuarez 2 года назад

Hello, you can try by changing the p13usb.. sometimes when you replace a port and m92 you have problems with it too

@Dr-Asim 2 года назад

Hey brother, Love the videos, and I'm not even a electronics nut, I'm a car nut. I have one request, could you please put some sort of measuring device next to the components you are soldering? So that we can get an idea of the size of the components? Thanks and cheers from Norway 🙂

@typergaz82 2 года назад

Awesome as always alex keep up the good work👍

@Insomniacs8 2 года назад

Did you use correct replacing for BQ? It looked like it read PQ24 which isn't a chip I recognise. Assuming that is fine, I guess it could be the fuel gauge.

@daviddevillers6790 2 года назад

Great video! Thank you.

@jassen22 2 года назад

I love watching in this channel.❣

@TecNoobi 4 месяца назад

hey heY good video :) do you have found the Problem of the 1 V at the BQ ?

@Emogaminguk 2 года назад

Another excellent video. Funny thing I had a switch in for repair the other day no charge no power rails found the port and m92 to be bad still no look after 3 hours somehow bad m92 killed the audio IC was a weird repair

@polonavarro6177 2 года назад

well love to see part 2

@bakachelera Год назад

to protect nerbay components when using a heat gun could I use polyimide tape and aluminum foil or why is it better to use these silicon pads?

@bryanswaggbeast8194 2 года назад

Yes round 2 please

@tinojsachintha7885 2 года назад

During the whole video I was thinking why you were doing things in wrong order. I have no knowledge in electronics repairing and anything I know is thanking your videos. I was always thinking it could be a bad cap itself so why don't we try voltage injecting. Anyway at the end of the video you mentioned about it too. We'll see if there'll be a second round.

@electrotech7 Год назад

I learnt more from you thanks sir

@KonstantinosAngelis 2 года назад

21:04 Most probably its gonna be nothing but there's a component (mosfet maybe ? ) near the charging port that appears to be damaged. I'm only a hobbyist that just starting so propably it's not the issue?

@marcradermacher6244 2 года назад

What's the difference between low melt solder and leaded solder? I guess the low melt has an even lower melting point? Lacking low melt, using leaded solder would help removing connectors as well, right?

@rfr653 2 года назад

good job mate.

@rolandkovalcsik8113 2 года назад

Hello sir. Can you tell me what u use to remove Flux from pcb's? I use at work :3M novec Flux remover, electrolube flu400db and isopropyl alcohol, but I can't clear fully the panels and always sticky. I use Ersa F-sw32 Flux paste, and amtech 559. Thanks if you answer to me :)

@rickykei2023 2 года назад

Is it the problem is related to fuse or P3IUSB? seems you changed all the significant chips already

@mohak7269 2 года назад

nice Skills ,when i do usb-c it better to tine the pads usb-c connector side that way it will fix easier and faster

@skyhookphotography1546 Год назад

your chat about time spent on a job reminds me of this joke which I tell customers regularly. A ship engine failed and no one could fix it, so they brought in a guy with 40 years experience. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. After looking things over, the guy reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine burst back into life. The engine was fixed! 7 Days later the owners got his bill for $10,000. "What?!" the owners said. "You hardly did anything. Send us an itemised bill." The reply simply said: Tapping with a hammer: $2 Knowing where to tap: $9,998 Don't ever underestimate experience.

@rockstar-kp2jy 2 года назад

Big power ic? would be like the switch lite that powers the screen, or the lcd driver can be faulty

@Mommotexx 2 года назад

23:06 Is that a hole in the chip underneath the connector? Or is it flux? Maybe your problem lies here. Anyway, you did an amazing job by trying to fix this. Keep on going. Love your videos!

@AniDormi 2 года назад

can someone explain how the 1.1 voltage drop vs 0.5 indicates a problem. I have recently been trying to use diode mode more but I am having trouble understanding how to interpret the readings

@ShutUpNemoHoesPimpTV 2 года назад

what solder tweezers do you use "resistance tweezers"

@thefilthygringo9228 2 года назад

Why did you remove the solder before desoldering. I always use 60/40 solder for my guitar soldering. Unleaded solder sucks

@ksanadi 2 года назад

Hello Can I buy leaded solder I can’t found it anywhere Only leaded free is it the same as leaded Thank you

@alielbaz4928 2 года назад

20:00 top left corner, the 2R2 chip Looks broken, can that be the issue?

@m3gAnac0nda 2 года назад

I know the issue, common with dvd players too. Take a shoe, smash the board 2 or 3 times (gently of course), no more problem!

@a.camden4631 11 месяцев назад

So my nintendo, 2nd hand bought, it works, got it on like 10% battery, plugged in it says charging and keeps it from discharging and works perfectly fine handheld and docked (plugged in ) but it will not charge up at all! I tried charging over night (multiple days with OEM and New charger ,docked and directly plugged in) the hard reset multiple ways ect.. replaced the battery , at 75% but still will not charge up (but shows charging) , just does like a pass through and keeps it from discharge, port looks fine .....any guess what this could be ??? Any ideas Thanks

@Showstopper108 2 года назад

@2scleonarcc-cw821 Год назад

Hello! My Nintendo Switch still stucked at 12V, not chargingor turnon...what could ir be? Can you helpme? Tks

@DiJAndy 2 года назад

I have recently repaired powerbank USB connector. I had few problems with the "better than factory job". The solder was not very helpful to stick with the pins. Is it because poor quality of flux? Maybe wrong solder? Or possibly weak soldering iron? I left it with more damage than before 😐

@chilly1661 2 года назад

Could be all of those reason maybe buy a better soldering iron with replaceable tips

@soheilalmasi5594 2 года назад

what is the alloy of your low melt solder? I'm from Iran and I can't buy those or anything (there are many things that I need) from your website. 😔so I would like to know to see if I can find it here.

@skyeanderson4976 2 года назад

Hey. I’m not the OP, but most people use low melt paste or chip quik brand low melt, usually stuff with a 138c melting point. I would look if you can find chip quik low melt there. My low melt contains bismuth-tin.
