I SAW MANY VIDEOS OF OTHER TECHNICIANS WHERE THEY SHOW ONLY THE DEVICES WHICH WAS SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED BY THEM. BUT, YOU SHOW BOTH VIDEOS OF DEVICES SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED OR CANNOT BE REPAIRED BY YOU. THAT IS THE MARK OF A GOOD TECHNICIAN. LEARNING MORE AND MORE ABOUT REPAIRING FROM ALL YOUR VIDEOS. THANKS ONCE AGAIN.

[@alliseeify]

While you were away, I looked back back at some of the first Videos you posted. It’s amazing how both are extremely informative, but how much more relaxed you are today. It went from a “professional” all business channel, to a fun “family and friends” channel. I love it.

[@ScrotumPole]

I watch a lot of electronic repair vids, and you sir are the best, the way you handle the molten solder, the way you handle the Hot Air gun shows textbook skills. Indeed "Better than Factory".

[@scorpio4236]

A pro tip, you can use an old soldering iron tip, to weld the broken plastic pieces together. I sometimes cut pieces of zip ties/cable ties for extra plastic ,to fuse the broken pieces together.

[@scorpio4236]

@@CousinFeetus It's best to weld it with the soldering iron. Glue doesn't hold up, if it did we wouldn't need people welding metal.

[@pgperkos]

I'm stunned! I honesty thought this was a no fix job. Amazing soldering skills brought the connector from the depths of hell.

[@mytownmatt]

Great video! Did you end up glueing the edges of the connector, or how did you secure it to make sure it's wasn't only held on by the pads?

Hello sir , I know how you feel when you go on a small vacation and get back to a pile of repairs , it they must get done lm 💯 that your family honor your hard work and they understand but a childhood life with a father around most of the time turn away from you and I will hate to see that happen to you , I have a son from my first and I worked so much that left me so when I got married to my second I made sure not to make the same mistake again ! Also this was the hottest repair I’ve ever seen you do ! Thank you 🙏 for all your hard work

[@Skyetender]

[@evoxslaydiy7620]

Excellent job as usual! It is very inspiring to see a technician after so many years doing this job to be so excited and burn his finger as a rookie. This mean for me that you love what you do! Keep going like that! (Not burning your fingers...😆😆).

[@rahulnag7751]

I think if the connector was glued , it'll be more stronger, anyway it's a great job

[@rheography]

or solder mask it

[@akashsolanki7735]

i also think

[@dreamcazman]

Yeah, it needs something to secure the connector so it's not solely reliant on the pins. Good job, but not sure if I trust it long term.

[@johnhoule622]

Customer will find a way to break it again, unfortunately

[@empithree]

Do you need to secure the connector again for future removal of the battery?

[@jmb2070]

Great job. I was looking forward to see the replacement of the missing pads with the pads you were gifted from last video.

[@pcb1962]

I think they are too slow to use for Alex, he can fix it much quicker with the wire that he's used to

[@samuellfredriksen8191]

Me too🤪

[@pablonunez194]

You should charge him a lot more than $ 100 for your burn . It is incredible that they don't remove this type of bad connectors from the factory, and they still do not sell the replacement. Awosome Job ... Hi from Uruguay.

[@deent5186]

You’re an awesome tech on any jobs you do. I’m admired and inspired.

[@HamSammich88]

Another Asus fail. Glad to see your making them better than factory. Impressive that you were able to use the bad connector. Keep it up Alex.

[@zbaktube]

So, the speed of changing the soldering tips depends on which end of the tip you touch? :-)

[@aliasgerzakir]

Nice repair, sorry for the burnt finger. Get well soon!!

[@stvnseegal]

Erm, I can relate on how hot a soldering iron is. I started when I was 9-10 years old and wile my iron was still powered my mom came into my room with a vacuum cleaner. When she kneeled down do vacuum underneath my desk I noticed she got tangled on the wire and saw my iron coming off the desk aiming at her. In a quick reaction I grabbed it just before the iron hit her back but you guessed it, I was so quick that despite the iron falling down hot end down and trying to grab the handle or wire I had my hand wrapped around the heating element. Luckily it was short as I threw it away, only had a huge burn on my handpalm which subsided within a week and a half But more importantly I saved my mom from being burned. Great job reconstructing the broken connector!

[@pcb1962]

There is a saying "a falling knife has no handle" - same thing applies to soldering irons

[@diyfrpandrepairs2669]

If ever the battery needs to be changed, won't the connector get damaged ifever they plugout the battery?

[@HoRnEyDvL]

Could you use epoxy to secure adapter down further if u wanted?

[@Alan_Skywalker]

Yes, always do that.

[@NorthridgeFix]

No need. The connector is not going anywhere and the customer should not touch it..

[@geniustechnologies82]

Hi..Alex why you are not use Solder Mask Today??

[@konsehfelembomrex5839]

Nice one. Adding solder mask to the connector will make it more durable now. Better than factory

[@ahmedsiddiqui4658]

The best repair video, applause for great work

[@stt9895]

Nice repair man. And yes we did notice missing capacitor next to connector 😊

[@nnighthawk]

Hey Alex! Did you ever try glueing one of these connectors back together before soldering it back onto the board? I would imagine it'd give it some more stability. I'd try superglue, I made good experience with many types of plastics.

[@gipsas32]

Probably no time for this. Its working and that's it. I think you can make it even worse with Superglue.

[@bestbuildpc]

better to melt some silicone over. Not superglue otherwise it will become really hard peace and if the conector doesn't work u make a mess.

[@Jeba-g6h]

9:42 sir I have a question 🙋‍♂️ if you see right next to the battery connector you can see a missing component how come the pc still turn on ? I talk about The third capacitor

[@Jeba-g6h]

Or is that a filter?

[@renderingrocks]

I've had so many soldering iron burns, i think my fingers can melt solder at this point. I hope it feels better

[@kamilbubalik1993]

"We're gonna charge the customer 100 $ more for burning one finger" Ahaha, just like me, when i burn fingers/skin doing some soldering for customers: "ooh, you gonna pay more!" Greetings from Poland Sir! As always, perfect work!

Very good job Alex .Perfect 👌🏻 👏🏻

[@ChrisSchubert1]

If you see the same issue for the same model but the manufacturer doesn't stock the part, it tells me Asus either doesn't care or wants people to buy newer models. Good job overcoming a crappy scenario.

[@scavenger888]

Alex, your using bare jumper wire, if you had only enameled wire, how would the enamel be stripped to prep for soldering?

[@giovannimarino4464]

Good Job... Just to understand what was the root cause ? Customer tried to change the laptop battery?

[@carlosgarciaoropeza5480]

For me the answer is YES. There is not other logic explain.

[@liulbelachew351]

Amazing job

[@ptkashinathmishra7149]

I will use some gorilla glue or hard glue to settle it in place. Or plus piece of thick wire over it from ground-ground soldered on each end also buried in the glue.

[@TECHHUBfixitup]

I wondered why you didn't use the ready to use copper pads that are been used in previous video?

[@somethingaboutachainsawgam8137]

[@idreess007]

I thought Alex would use the template pads for restoring the missing pads. Guess the jumper wire is easy and quick fix. Good job

[@isharadhanushan2002]

It doesn't have legs that go through a hole in the motherboard and soldered from the backside. It can break pretty much easily.

[@youssefhany6555]

Why didn't you use the pads that you received in the last video? 🤔

[@digital2rain]

The connector has no mechanical bond to the board. Would solder mask applied to the front edge help to secure it?

Hope your finger recovers fast so you can make these 'can fix" great videos.

Hi Thank you for your video. What is the equipment just next to your multimeter?
