Thanks Alex for your videos on board repair. I watch all of time just to get me back to a more professional level of board repair!

[@scotty562]

Nice work. I'll keep watching your videos as long as you keep making them.

[@giuseppeusa45]

I'm addict from your videos. I learn alot from you. Thank you.

[@mohsentabouna6401]

beautiful 20 min+ video after a long day at work, you inspire me so much alex ❤. can you please once a week just turn on the camera live or record uninterrupted for 1 hour or two ? and just upload it RAW? also, there is software Charge meter you can have it on the screen and connect all types of charge cables to it I think it's easier for us all, you won't have to move that charge box everywhere and have the charge meter under the microscope everytime.

I love your videos brother! I order your chips alot for nintendo switch repair that I offer at my retro video game store. I have a weird issue though with a capacitor near the charging IC I've changed it out twice now and everytime I put a new one on the short turns up again. Is it possible that new IC chips could be defective from factory or could the issue be on another part of the board?

[@whoisntwhoisit2126]

Any reason you do not use Polymide Tape (Kapton Tape) for heat resistance? I feel like it can stop heat better than the metal tape, that stuff gets hot.

[@sotired9970]

Possible to replace the wire inside the connector to restore function? Since they seem to have just fallen out from getting disconnected from the solder?

[@ahmedsiddiqui6056]

Sir may I know what are the other type methods to be used not to effect other components on the board for example you used aluminium tape. Thanks Regards and that was really Quick and nice FIX👏👍👈🏆

[@em0_tion]

High-temp Kapton tape, pieces of metal (like 3.5" bay computer case cutouts), coins, silicone pads, old damaged Intel (BGA) CPUs... Just use your imagination and try it out on a practice board :D

[@bessydeejay1]

Can you please give any extra information about the chips you are changing? That would be very helpful!

[@NorthridgeFix]

northridgefix.com/?s=nintendo&post_type=product

[@Ryan53799]

What heat did you use

[@skirmishgla]

I would have used Kapton tape. Aluminum is a good conductor of head and eletricity, Kapton on the other hand is not conductive to electricity and is resistant to heat up to 400 Celcius. It is cheap and wildly available also could be a good thing to sell on your shop.

[@em0_tion]

Sometimes flux enters into the glue layer of the Kapton tape and makes it slide around. It's good to have multiple approaches ready just in case :)

[@mohsentabouna6401]

@@danielsatko- aluminium is better at getting rid of heat than clapton BUT you should shape the aluminium like a CAGE over the protected components, don't stick the aluminium to the components or else it's gonna melt

[@NorthridgeFix]

I use Aluminum tape to bounce heat away so connectors do not burn. I wouldn't use Kapton tape on any board work. Kapton tape deforms under heat and will cause components to shift when solder reaches melting temp.

[@em0_tion]

@@NorthridgeFix Oh, yeah, if it's close to the job and using hot air... I like how it shrivels and smokes like a defeated old witch 🤣

BEAST MODE AT 100%!

[@Adrian_Finn]

Can anyone answer why his meter beeps in diode mode? or was it in continuity mode? and why do we use red probe on ground when testing?

[@NorthridgeFix]

Already answered the question in another comment. Diode mode measures voltage drop between 2 points and usually much faster then resistance mode. I'll do a video about diode mode in the future.

Hi sir

Hi im New, in trying to diagnose a Nintendo switch that i bought used, it dont turn on. They told me it was only the battery but i changed it and dont work either, so i used my multimeter and check for shorts and got 3 in the usb c conector and in the battery conector its that normal?

[@NorthridgeFix]

No short is normal on any board, unless short is caused by low resistance component which is not really a short.
