What a great repair. You wouldn't get this from a "warranty" type repairer, just more proof that Right To Repair is critical to keeping technology out of landfills.

@larrybud 2 года назад

It's about time and money. This thing probably costs 10 bucks to make for the car companies, with 100,000% markup.

@thetechconspiracy2 2 года назад

@@larrybud Exactly. Someone with the skills needed to to board-level repairs like this is going to charge way more than it would be worth to repair the key fob, when the dealer can fix it in 10 minutes (most of which is waiting for a machine to cut the key) with a part that barely costs anything to make and plugging a tool into the car to learn the new key fob. If they are charging a dime over $50, they had better be coming out to your house to program the key (they can look up the cut on their computer system based on the VIN, and cut it before they come out)

I feel like I'm late to the party discovering this channel. My favorite thing: that I see the TRUE JOY on your face when you are able to fix something! Sure, you provide real value for your customers and that's your job, but you look like you genuinely are excited and pleased with yourself when you're able to troubleshoot and fix a problem, and the fixer's watching you (myself included) know and love this feeling. You're very positive and a pleasure to watch, keep it up!

@desnick2316 Год назад

you mean when WE are able to fix something, lol

@BrianB14471 2 года назад

That looks like damage from a small screwdriver being used to open the FOB housing when changing a battery. At first look I knew that pin should be repairable, but I would have used an exacto to scrape the overmold down. The other thing I would suggest is TakPak CA glue over the part of the chip you ground away.

@harpingon 2 года назад

Okay! I was watching this video and thinking, "how though?" how do you get that pin broken. But yeah - inserting a pokey thing to try and get the fob open to change a battery could for sure do that.

@obd6HsN 2 года назад

Yeah, those fobs have a hard life, and are covered with a conformal coating from the factory. I'd definitely have sprayed a bit more conformal coat on to cover that part

@tomkroebel4936 Год назад

As I am repairing a lot of remote controls I can absolutely confirm! And it's the same for all these broken coils in FOBs...

Nicely done. I work a lot with forensic data recovery from vehicle components and sometime, chips damaged by corrosion (flooded cars), fire or several mechanical damages exhibit this problem. I approach it in the same way, usually there's plenty of connectors still buried in the epoxy. Things get a little more difficult with QFN or BGA packages.

Fantastic! On top of the brilliant repair successfully completed right before our eyes no cost for donor part, just a large amount of brains mixed with flux & solder as well as some more wear on the grinding bit. Big boss has now made a small profit to go towards purchasing more awesome equipment. Absolutely brilliant!

@optimizelogicrepair2784 2 года назад

The solder wick they sell is top notch. I bought 3 spools of it. Use it every day. Now my 10 spools of Goot Wick sit in a box, unless I need it for something very small. Now, if they could get this premium wick they sell in different sizes, now you REALLY got something. Oh yeah, and I bought the UNI-T thermal camera, LOVE IT! that thing has already paid me back.

@gary00832 2 года назад

Funny how we end up right back to the rtr .. the dealer has the equipment and software to read and write to that chip..They want you to come back so they can wax you that money! Good repair boss! Keep up the good work of sticking it to the man!!!!!!

@davidcameron648 2 года назад

Very unlikely that the dealers have access to the tools to read or write to that chip for security reasons (any data should be encrypted and obfuscated to keep thieves from reading the data from a fob and making a copy). The manufacturer is the one able to make copies, but $500 USD and up is price gouging for a device that costs at most a few dollars to manufacture.

@PaulGrayUK 2 года назад

He thought thru the box (best of both worlds) as soon as he picked up the Dremel to get access to the pin. Yes, well nice work indeed. Also, the humility and common sense to testing out upon a donner chip, shows the level of professionalism that you don't often see - somebody sure of themselves but not over cocky and with that - truly defining the word professionalisim.

Good save! In my last job, the benches in the cleanroom each had a 1/4" vacuum port for slurping up debris. By making a small filter in a plastic box it enabled us to wash areas with IPA, and suck-up as we cleaned, leaving no residue. A cheap vacuum/suction pump with a filter would be a great help with SM work like this.

@tschupbach 2 года назад

The grinding pen and flux have saved many boards here, won't be without them. The flux is easy to clean, and the pen makes short work of damaged or missing areas on boards. On reading the chip, normally the programmable portion of the chip has a "fuse" that is purposely blown after programming to prevent accessing the code that would allow you to read and then program a new chip. Find the datasheet for the chip and look up the program method. If that's the case, now we know why Benz can charge $1,500 for a fob.

@lewis2553 2 года назад

I did something like this on a Texas Instruments calculator once. It required the use of a microscope. Once the jumper was soldered, I very gently cleaned the area, dried it with light puffs of canned air, and then put some epoxy cement over it for mechanical support and protection. You should consider doing that, too. You were very fortunate that the chip case was plastic and not ceramic like the kind used in defense electronics.

Been doing these sort of repairs for years but with optics only and normally head gear but things just getting too small and uncomfortable for me so Looking at buying the microscope kit in UK 10 MP with 180x lens. can I ask what megapixel your sensor is?
