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.

[@pododas442]

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.

[@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".

[@pgperkos]

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

[@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.

Invoice + $100 for the burn LOL......... I do not repair electronics but I LOVE watching your videos and listening to your commentary. Lucky to have found your channel.. thank you and keep up the great content!

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

[@pcb1962]

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

[@josearrasola7236]

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

[@aliasgerzakir]

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

[@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

[@rasheed3039]

Experience with a set of great tools = amazing and awesome job 👍

[@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.

[@HoRnEyDvL]

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

It'd be great if there's a way to 3D print a proprietary connector that's no longer available in the market, so you don't have to reuse a broken connector

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

[@stt9895]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@jryngki5094]

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.
