I sent you an e-mail saying this, but I wanted to say it publicly. I wanted to say thank you for starting this channel ! I was on the fence and a little scared to open a PC repair business here in Pittsburgh, but with your example and videos I took the step and now have a successful business. Your videos and example are priceless, and helped me tremendously. I owe you a debt of gratitude for this channel and all of your hard work.

[@rndmlife]

yes, same with me, its really helpful and help make my business successful and reliable

[@khalilhassan9469]

Hi you are very helpful to me. Thanks a lot. I am computer hardware technician. I am from Chad. I love your tutorial.

[@supportvital8005]

Well done Janey, best of luck.

[@jakobgrey804]

I’m actually an automotive locksmith by trade and we have done work with reflashing ECUs and immobilisers so we had the tooling and with these videos we’ve opened a key fob repair department. It’s made us hundreds and saved thousands for the customers with these exotic cars.

[@dankan4459]

Why can't you be like your brother " said every parent.. Ever!! 😂😂 Love the humour in this one. Thanks!

The best one for me was him arguing with that component with the lost pad 🤣🤣 "YOU WANNA PLAY GAMES? HUH? NO FLUX FOR YOU! I'M GONNA SOLDER YOU WITH ALCOHOL ON THE BOARD!" It felt like a huge "FUCK YOU SHITTY COMPONENT" 🤣🤣

[@mediumshipforbeginners]

"No flux for you!" Never fail to disappoint, what a great educational video....

haha funny video. "you wanna play games ?" "no flux 4 u"

[@HazeAnderson]

no flux 4 u 😂

[@AntonioWengratt]

I laugh a lot at this one!

I think "no flux 4 u" will be my new in-game handle. I like it in combat games.

Your a good man ! Also a good teacher thank you 🙏 for your hard work

[@djelloulomari4694]

Very great good person thanks for all

[@DicedIceBaby314]

I just wanted to give you a sincere thank you for all of your amazing content. I appreciate that you have your own brand of super helpful tools and excellent advise to using it. I am an EE and you are really my hero, please keep up the good work!

[@Daa253]

I like to imagine the customer's car unlocking, locking and alarm going off as he presses the buttons lol.

[@Embermist69]

This video here makes myself glad for the key fob for my 07 Dakota. Just a simple snap together shell so batter replacement is so nice and easy.

[@scottashcroft7001]

The marking on the components looks like MCs to me. The underlined lower-case s is used by Infineon. That makes it a BFS17P NPN RF transistor. Although EoL still seems to be in stock at most of the big suppliers.

[@NIRobor]

Yes, it is from Infineon, and it seems to me that it is the BFS17W SOT323.

[@macrepairphoenix]

Thank you for the fast shipping on my order. You guys are the best!

[@ammadarif9010]

Wanna play games? No flux for you 🤣 I may look rough outside but I'm soft from inside 😂😂

"You wanna play games? No flux for you." that would be a great t-shirt

[@heraldsunico]

Thank you for another video, I love watching your videos because I learn a lot from it, specially your techniques in micro soldering, you are a legend 😊. You are right about reballing, its very time consuming. I have reballed bga components my self and it consumes a lot of time. If you are fixing one or 2 devices per day it is okay to reball, but if like you, you have thousands of repair in queue, reballing is not advisable.

[@michaelr6205]

I really enjoy watching you work and trouble shoot. Real straight to the point.

[@temejumbo9794]

Always educational to watch, there's always something new to learn. Much love from Nigeria.

Damn, this customer should be more appropriately called "The Fob Destroyer" Tampering: Attempting to do something you know just enough about to get yourself in trouble"!!

[@jamesthepuerilis]

nicely done sir, i do repairs and build pcb kits for a hobby and its always a surprise when i see blown traces like that, you have to wonder how hot their had the soldering iron to cause that much damage.

[@optimizelogicrepair2784]

Love it when you talk tough to the wire, I do the same thing.

[@delllenovo7459]

You'd make a great teacher, your my teachers thanks

[@user-un6we3nu3q]

hi , thank for this video, this component is NPN transistor with type (bfs17p) , thanks.

[@refink33]

please make that into a T-Shirt for your online store! "if you want to play games, no flux for you"

[@kintag4459]

All thanks and greetings to you, dear brother, for your effort

[@anzicek]

Just trying to be constructive with this comment, I'm a huge fan of your channel and your work. Using a steel brush on a battery powered device with the battery connected could get you into trouble. When brushing near that battery connection I was biting my nails hoping it wasn't going to damage a component by making an unintended electrical connection. Maybe I'm missing a some detail here, but as I said, just trying to give some constructive feedback. Thanks for the vids!

[@jasontexter1721]

Very low amperage potential from those batteries. Unlikely to do any damage

[@autodiagnostykaiklucze5978]

We humans only:) definitely not intended, jumping from board to small battery powered fobs at end of day may miss some detail:)

[@theRandy712]

Those batteries are like 1 volt and a microamp. It's nothing. They can't produce heat or arc if you tried

[@Johnathan_Waters]

I have a question: Why exactly are you holding that hard disk dup to the back of the fob tester? Shielding?

[@djelloulomari4694]

Perhaps because the strong magnet in the hard disc

[@Johnathan_Waters]

Thx for all the experience and knowledge

[@letsfixit8812]

LOVE IT WHEN YOU SAY BETTER THEN FACTORY, THANKS ABSOLUTLY ENJOYED WATCHING IT, NO FLUX FOR YOU IF PLAY THE GAMES

[@ishfaqkhanshinwari8304]

i enjoy your video and also learning.the way your talking fabulous bro.

[@wbell1580]

So far some say N Channel MOSFET and others NPN RF trans. My bet on rf npn but simply pull it and test the good one pulled from the board elsewhere with DVM. Board screen says Q1 so likely NPN. Should be a ton of them or similars on your used fobs.

[@SuperFredAZ]

Amazing that a key fob should cost $700, I checked the price of a fob for my 2020 Honda CRV, < $150. Congratulations on saving your customer so much money!

[@musthaqfarook3986]

Really really enjoyed and I learned in your every videos thank you sir

[@DallasAutoDiag]

Hey man. Great content. What's that website that you went to at the end of the video? Thanks

[@steffenk8955]

Great Job, i like your Videos.👍👍

[@dougtaylor7724]

You should wear your jacket around your waist and tie the arm in front when you work on a Land Rover fob.

[@Stambo59]

I can't understand how motor companies can justify charging so much money for what's probably less than $10 worth of components. I guess it means fixing them is viable and profitable though. :-)

[@thegamepz]

someone have to pay for warranty work, rent for the dealership, wages for the employees, and profit for the big boss ( not that big boss). All of that is not from the car sales.

[@factfacts1619]

He made the board drunk by giving it Alcohol and no flux😂 Good job 👍

[@samonsthewise]

if you need that chip or the donor board i have a ton of those LR3 boards fried

[@chotuusian4127]

Good work

[@lies_laid_bare4275]

Haha I like the humor. Great videos man!

[@rchltmedia]

the battery is made in Indonesia! Give salutation! 🔥🔥🔥

[@BeaverZer0]

How did he do this to the fob's? Did he put too powerful a battery in?

[@hightttech]

Very Nice. Education and Entertainment 👍.

[@shabbirahmed4733]

I really luv ur work man awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@zerukz]

Does anyone know whats the name of the website alex used to search up the use of the component? If do please help

[@twitch54304]

That’s a voltage regulator. I repair Bluetooth devices for dexing vending machines and buy those in strips of 100 because they use cheap high amp chargers to recharge them and blow them often. Anything with a cr2032 or 2025 battery should have the same regulator near the battery. Although this videos a year old and I’m sure you figured that out and repaired it already lol.

[@tokoloshgolem]

How strange that something made by Land Rover would be problematic

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job like all ways

[@bryantalfonso9561]

I was laughing at no flux for you part,

[@Shogoeu]

How do you protect the components from oxidation after cleaning them with the steel brush?

[@ruleone5209]

Great job!

[@HavingFunRepairs]

I wonder if you could populate an s8050 NPN instead. Nice repair regardless!

[@Hariku91]

good job mate!

[@ghislainriou9560]

Good day / Marhaba brother would you kindly make a video of The tools you use and why you bought them. i only so the microscope with camera video review. love you channel as always ;)

[@michaelblack5011]

is not voltage detector, is a transistor switch with very low resistant , is use in power on mp3 Bluetooth module and flashlight

[@islandwills2778]

i worked for a corporation that made a product that used keyfobs to report clean rooms in a hotel. So what would happen is each maid would be given a fob, then they would wash there keyfobs right with there uniform.... so predictably every couple months i would get a package with up to 100 fobs for repair. Got really sick of cleaning and replacing buttons, or having to discard the fob due to liquid damage. As an added incentive to repair every fob if i could not repair them i had to make a new one, which involved populating a blank PCB with every component and then programming the firmware with a stand alone programmer.

[@farabielec]

Thanks. What us the black tester you use?

[@mashreqblesson9102]

Nice work

[@rajannarayanan2759]

Very good explain thanku

[@R.B_B]

I don't see you remove or apply conformal coating on the boards your work. Why?

[@Trump985]

“You can not use the car without the key fob”Are you fucking kidding me! Thank god I have an older car.

[@jeremyhay6425]

How do you clean flux off of the boards you work on? I just use warm water and a brush then use an air compressor to dry it off but how do you do it?

[@petenikolic5244]

what kept you on that one spotted that pad instantly

[@itechdeti8744]

CH-N MOSFET . 2N7002 that is

[@ammirazlan32]

Assalamualaikum. I have question what website did you refer the smd code?

[@pr0xZen]

Do you know of any good resources, forums, software etc for key fob schematics? Or at least high res, descriptive images? Never been so lucky as to get twins like this, and if a component is missing or destroyed beyond recognition, it can be very difficult to find the right replacement. And uncoded knock-off replacements usually have a completely different component layout.

[@TruthbtoldMD]

What is that gel he is putting before soldering and doesn't it damage other components when it turns to liquid?
