✅ I'm sharing a must-watch video about software updates and their impact on our devices. Don't miss it

[@pwrgood_ekb]

2:33 Why? Because you nearly tore it from motherboard before giving any chance for GND pads to even melt! Great

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

Hello, these are broken motherboards, and the purpose of this video is entirely different.

[@pwrgood_ekb]

@MovilonePhoneRepair well what can you show on a video if you can't even properly show a process of desoldering bga chip? I'm sorry, but looks like most of the audience that came here have at least some experience in repairs

[@zUltra3D]

You desolder chips like a primary school child. No flux, prying at the chips and overly concentrated heat. Please never handle a hot air station ever again if you're going to use it like that.

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

Hello, this video doesn’t specifically focus on repairing the CPU and memory. It’s more of a quick general overview. We offer specialized courses on our channel that cover this process in detail.

a little bit of flux and solder and the pads will be shiny again. this is such misinformation. i wish youtube showed thumbs down count so ppl can just skip this video

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

Thank you for your feedback. While flux and solder can restore the appearance of damaged pads, the issue often goes beyond surface-level fixes, especially when dealing with modern electronics prone to obsolescence. This video aims to highlight how manufacturers use inferior materials or designs that lead to recurring failures, rather than providing lasting solutions. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but I encourage viewers to explore the underlying issues presented in the video rather than focusing solely on quick fixes.

This is a blatant fake info. Yes, on budget phones, updates may cause the slowness and glitches. Yes, with the time, batteries and flash storage are degrading. But that's a software and aging issue, it's not screwing up the hardware. What you're showing me, is the lack of flux, and the unnecessary rant about "greedy phone manufacturers". The soldering pads that you're showing to us were probaby liquid damaged, probably due to a high humidity, or something like that. Software updates has nothing to do with it. Why would anyone believe this nonsense? Mah dude, these chips that you're showing me, are capable of withstanding temperatures of 90 degrees and more, but they won't reach these temps, because they'll throttle.

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

Thank you for sharing your perspective. However, I must clarify a few key points: Liquid Damage: The circuits I demonstrated in the video are surrounded by conformal coatings or resins specifically designed to protect against humidity and liquid ingress. This makes the likelihood of liquid damage virtually impossible in this case. Soldering Issues: The lack of proper flux and the use of inferior lead-free solder (as highlighted in the video) are well-documented contributors to hardware degradation over time. These are not isolated incidents but patterns observed across numerous devices, especially those designed with cost-cutting measures. Software Updates and Hardware Strain: While software updates don't directly "screw up" the hardware, they often impose greater demands on the system, which can exacerbate pre-existing hardware vulnerabilities, including those caused by poor manufacturing practices. The goal of this video isn't to "rant" but to shed light on how specific corporate strategies-such as cutting corners with materials or pushing updates that strain older devices-contribute to a cycle of obsolescence. These practices, whether intentional or incidental, result in financial and environmental costs for consumers. I hope this clarifies the misconceptions. Constructive discussions like this help us all better understand these issues and their broader implications. If you'd like to dive deeper into any of these points, feel free to ask!

[@CyberFox2077]

@@MovilonePhoneRepair Thank you for generating a response with ChatGPT. Perhaps, I'll do the same. Alright, let’s break this down because some of the claims here are seriously stretching reality. Liquid Damage: Yes, conformal coatings and resins are supposed to protect against moisture-but "supposed to" doesn’t mean "immune." Cheap coatings degrade, environmental factors like high humidity sneak in, and suddenly you’ve got liquid damage. To claim liquid ingress is "virtually impossible" is either naive or deliberately misleading. Burned pads scream moisture damage, yet here we are blaming... software updates? Seriously? Soldering and Flux Issues: Poor soldering and crappy lead-free solder are a plague on modern electronics-no argument there. But to drag software updates into this mess is laughable. Solder doesn’t magically degrade because an update drops. If anything, what’s being shown is textbook bad manufacturing-not some grand conspiracy by the Illuminati of Phone Updates. Heat Buildup and Resin: Let’s talk about this resin paranoia. Yes, resin can trap some heat, but any competent engineer designs around that with proper thermal management. The claim that resin single-handedly cooks the pads over time? Pure sensationalism. If you want to blame resin, show us controlled experiments-not a microscope close-up and wild guesses. Software Updates and Hardware Strain: Software updates making hardware work harder? Sure. Physically "burning pads"? Stop it. Updates don’t reach into the motherboard and sabotage solder joints like some digital gremlin. This is where the argument jumps the shark. Hardware failures like pad degradation are physical issues caused by manufacturing flaws or environmental factors-not patch notes. Planned Obsolescence: Ah, the classic "big bad corporations want your money" shtick. Look, planned obsolescence is real in some cases, but the evidence here is flimsy at best. Blaming resin, updates, and stacked chips for every problem is like blaming your Wi-Fi for bad weather. If you’re going to call out manufacturers, at least come with something more than anecdotal lab tales and conspiracy vibes. In short, this video is a mix of valid concerns (poor soldering, thermal cycling) and straight-up nonsense (software burning pads, resin conspiracies). If we’re going to have a serious conversation about device longevity, let’s leave the sci-fi plot lines at the door.

[@1sonyzz]

no flux applied under the bga chips = ripped off pads pretending like it's corosion... c'mon

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

You’re absolutely correct-proper soldering techniques, including using flux, are crucial. That said, in many cases, companies avoid designing devices for long-term durability, which contributes to early failures.

[@nomemande2397]

@@MovilonePhoneRepair But the culprit in this video is you for not knowing hot to do a proper job, not the designing company.

[@derNeonLeon]

This video consists only of misinformation... First of all, this dude is not even able to use flux. Secondly, if you want to break a device via software then you can simply brick the system so it won't boot. Thirdly, a major problem with bad solderpoints is that leaded solder is no longer allowed to be used. the old technology that was allowed to use lead is still alive today... with the old hardware, capacitors are the most likely to break... And the funny thing is that I know this even though I can't even solder. Btw.. a chip burns out at 100 degrees celsius and solder only starts to melt at 300 degrees celsius. this means that even if a chip burns out, the contacts are not broken. if a chip burns out, it can no longer get hotter lol

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

Saying that a chip burns out at 100°C is a significant misconception. The operating temperatures of most chips are well above that range, and they are typically designed to handle much higher thresholds before failure.

[@moti_vati0n]

This is a very interesting topic, and I want to ask a question. You mentioned that heat buildup is caused by software, but I have 3 phones with custom ROM (LineageOS) with no Google Play services. Are they less prone to such way of failures? Does the probability of it decrease if I have this ROM on a phone (POCO X3 Pro, which is known for being extremely hot) but still play games on it? (I'll also take a note that it used to have "turbo mode" (boost performance and ignore throttling) on stock ROM, but there it isn't on a custom one, and I don't use fast charging so games are only reason of this phone heating up.)

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

Great question! Using a custom ROM like LineageOS without Google Play services can indeed reduce heat buildup caused by background processes or excessive app activity common with stock ROMs. However, gaming remains a significant source of heat, particularly on devices like the POCO X3 Pro, which already has thermal management challenges. By avoiding features like "turbo mode" and fast charging, you're already taking steps to reduce heat-related stress. Custom ROMs may also manage CPU and GPU usage differently, potentially improving thermal performance. However, keep in mind that hardware limitations, such as thermal throttling and heat dissipation inefficiencies, still play a role. To further mitigate heat, consider reducing graphics settings in games and using a cooling solution if gaming sessions are prolonged. Thanks for bringing up this nuanced topic-it's great to see such thoughtful engagement!

[@aspopulvera9130]

​@@MovilonePhoneRepair what about CPU performance reduction like the ones found in samsung?

[@derNeonLeon]

@moti_vati0n Just to clarify some of the misinformation in the video: Gaming will always heat up devices, regardless of whether you're using a custom ROM or not. The idea that software causes solder joints to break is incorrect-solder issues arise from thermal cycling over time, which is a hardware problem. Also, solder melts at over 300°C, and chips typically fail when operating temperatures exceed 100-120°C. By the way, the damage shown in the video wasn’t caused by overheating but by poor repair techniques. The uploader ripped the chip off the board without using flux and didn’t heat it properly, which caused the contacts to break. That’s more of a skill issue than a real defect.

[@moti_vati0n]

@@derNeonLeon Does that mean that when your phone heats up, solder under ICs expands and contracts due to thermal cycling and then slowly destructs? And if little cracks appear, then air gets inside those cracks and oxidizes them further, am I right?

[@euMMagic]

Not correct, I have been using Samsung S7 edge since 2016 and have not found any major performance issues rather than battery not holding up long due to its age.

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

The Samsung S7 Edge is a solid device! Battery degradation over time is a natural process, but it’s great to hear you haven’t faced major performance issues. Replacing the battery could restore much of its usability for a few more years.

[@euMMagic]

@MovilonePhoneRepair Yes true... but due to hardware limitations for certain newer apps to work seamlessly, I thought of squeezing the last juice from it 😅 and go for a newer device...

[@guntramschlemminger7383]

And why should updates cause a failure toke this?

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

Great question! Updates can cause failures indirectly by pushing hardware beyond its intended capacity, often through poorly optimized code or increased resource demands. This can lead to overheating or accelerated wear on components. I’ll expand on this point in upcoming videos.

[@aspopulvera9130]

it was totally different with old phones during the reign of nokia like among all the phones 5 to 6 years is too short for them and they had alot of accessories and mods you could do their batteries are steel enclosed as well.

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

Absolutely! Devices from the Nokia era were built to last, with modular designs and durable materials. Today’s trend toward sealed devices and non-removable batteries significantly limits repairability and longevity.

[@jec_ecart]

Nonsense. While software updates are buggy, they can't generate enough heat to burn the pads.

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

Thank you for your input. While it's true that software updates alone cannot generate enough heat to directly burn the pads, they can indirectly contribute by altering power management settings or causing excessive workload on the CPU or GPU, leading to overheating. I’ll explore this in greater detail in future videos to clarify the connection.

[@mindurbusiness-b3u]

false. software updates dont kill pads LOL lead free solder or moisture or not enough heat +/or rough removal will kill pads. the devices are mass produced, sometimes the balling from factory is not great so the solder job may not be perfect and general use causes fatigue so pads just need a clean and properly re-balling. software updates LOL 🤦

[@MovilonePhoneRepair]

You’re right that manufacturing defects, improper handling, or poor soldering techniques can damage pads. However, software updates can accelerate hardware issues by introducing features that increase stress on older components, indirectly contributing to their failure. The balance between software and hardware is a critical discussion point.
