In this video I repair a ZX Spectrum with bad video output caused by a faulty transistor.
I bought this Spectrum a couple of months ago, and had been waiting for replacement parts to arrive before making this video.
Apologies for some of the camera work in the soldering portions of the video, my face was right next to the camera, and I wasn't using a separate microphone. I'll be trying to do this better next time.
I'm very much an amateur at all of this, so any tips or suggestions are always appreciated.

I like that there is a decent amount of realness not edited out. The human aspects of failing and figuring out a solution is easier to follow for me personally.

I did cut out quite a bit of miserable failure while trying to wick off the old solder, but tried to keep enough in to show that I'm still figuring things out and not everyone is an expert. Glad you liked it!

"I don't really know how to solder." followed by "my understanding is flux is a bit of cheat". So much wrong here, flux acts like primer preparing the surface to bond strongly to the solder, not using solder risk dry unreliable joints. Could do with a solder sucker. Still, a competent repair.

"a competent repair" - I'll take that hahaha. Thanks for the clarification on flux, I think I've got my head around it more than I did when filming this video, but I've still got a lot to learn. Definitely looking to get something better for desoldering, using the wick really becomes a pain.

Very painful to watch as a competent electronics and pc engineer. Please buy some. Liquid flux solder sucker and maybe a small heat gun for multi legged components .

Thanks for the feedback! Very much a beginner at this stuff (more a software guy than a hardware guy), so learning a lot as I go
