FIXING the USB-C Breakout Board that I MUTILATED previously

[@infin1ty850]

This definitely makes a lot more sense to repair than that hell you put yourself through with last week's PS thumbstick.

[@StezStixFix]

Can't argue with that 🤣

[@danielhulan3058]

This is a happy little Christmas present. A stezstix fix video in the middle of the week! Thanks steve.

[@CitySlicker19]

Two videos in a week? Must be Christmas! Hope you have a good one Steve and that you get lots of faulty electronics to fix!

[@EgoChip]

He probably forgot to schedule it and made it public instead.

[@AZBO_13]

2 vids in a week!! Banging!! Merry Christmas

[@valentine_puppy]

Stez on a Tuesday? Awesome

[@ISquishWorms]

My Tuesday just got better.

[@aldronusf8063]

Thank you for showing how a trace repai can be done! I am just beginning to learn and enjoy watching your videos! May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!

[@Okurka.]

It's better done with copper tape.

[@kevinwiseman5313]

Happy/Merry Christmas to you and yours Steve!

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Kevin, same to you! 🎄

[@ijabbott63]

What about the other ground on the connector? At the moment, ground will only be present when it's plugged in the "right" way round.

[@why_wait]

He checked both grounds for continuity , they must have a common earth

[@ijabbott63]

@@why_wait They are only common on the breakout board, not on the plug/socket.

[@Com4nd3r.]

Even a doctor is confused seeing such perfection

[@akobifan5428]

I recently discovered this channel. Warts and all it never fails to delight and educate in equal measure. 😊

[@LivyathanAD]

There's a total lack of Santa hats in this video so I feel short changed. Come on Steve, less of the bah humbug!

[@calvee1100]

I love that song! "Breakout 🎶"

[@elcondor7627]

Ooooooh Swing Out Sister! Love them!

[@yotoprules9361]

2 videos in 1 week, what a treat

[@Barry-mt6zj]

Appreciate the awesome vids and refreshing sense of humour Steve. Always puts a smile on my face when I see a new addition to the library! Happy Christmas!

[@Dukefazon]

What happened, feels like Sunday! Steve, Techmoan and James also dropping a video on Tuesday, wow!

[@wasdaletimelapse7658]

a Sneaky, Cheeky Tuesday video. Thanks for that. Nice one.

[@garymucher4082]

That was a "SOLID" repair in my opinion...

[@SolderBrothers]

Usb c is a fascinating design. Especially when you look into the multiplexing of the video lines on the nintendo switch

[@nagafusa1]

Where is the Rap ;-; also I would love a top 10 list of your favorite raps you done so far this year too! I know many don't like them but I love you expressing yourself in every video and keep up the good work!

[@CraigK80]

Need my fix of Stez fix stuff thing 👀

[@Skipperc3po.02]

Merry solid Christmas😊

[@craigtaco9875]

Swing Out Sister! Nice!

[@thefunwarden]

have you ever thought of using a Conductive Ink Pen for when you have broken traces, i've used them for model making and they work a treat. should work on a circuit board no problem

[@NikBoff]

Always a good show from you, how about flattening the wire to reduce its thickness.....?

[@propulsar]

Merry Fixmas!!

[@joelkist6493]

Merry Christmas! Hope Santa drops many toys to fix.

[@BadCat_Gaming]

Another great vid thanks man i hope u and yours have a wonderful christmas

[@20kilovolt]

Disposable vapes are an good source to pull out USB-C

[@seanlotr]

Great video watching this on the tube

[@Kardall]

Cool. Glad it's fixed. I can't order anything still because Canada Post is still on strike. I did manage to get a box of PC components for a build I had ordered like 3 weeks ago. I don't know WHY it took them so long, but it came purolator today. *shrug* maybe they shipped it because it was taking too long or they got overwhelmed. Who knows.

[@PTguitars]

I started saying "continuity" the same way you do when I use my multimeter ... 😀

[@wasserman63]

merry christmas

[@philblack5936]

Steve keep being the best electronics diy fixer on the net. Love your content very much 😂❤

[@cellgfx]

I knew Swing Out Sister was coming as soon as I saw the title 😆

[@jensalik]

I want to complain about there not being a rap. I'm very disappointed. 😢

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

I tried skipping backwards from 00:00… 😢

[@samuraidriver4x4]

I would have just thrown it in the circular archive aka the bin😂 Then again it is a good practice project plus it makes for content

[@juliom6260]

Is it xmas today ? 2 vids in 1 week ❤

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]

Nice Thumbnail. "Countdown to FIXMAS"👍🏼 Whatever happened to your MMV Tee Shirt?🤔

[@Maxel.F]

thx i forgot that song, its the one thats in many keyboards as demosong in the 90s

[@jameslane955]

Could you trick it out with spade connections and some wires with crocodile clips and probes on that you can swap out?

[@sabahl101]

Might be simple but still fascinating. What solder do you use, mate?

[@PeetHobby]

I would have connected the wire to the resistor pad and left the hole open for the pin header. Another option would have been to directly add the pin header during this repair.

[@SosiskaTheHorrible]

Had to be Swing Out Sister for the outro 🎉

[@Mullspeed]

Where did you get that solder mask curing widget?

[@OXFORD486]

Hi... where do you get your leaded solder from? All i can find is the unleaded type

[@pauladams2841]

I suspect you only fixed that so you could sing Breakout 😆

[@WhiteG60]

Just out of curiosity, why do the hot drop and then go over all the pins by hand again? Couldn't you just tin the pads, do the mounting legs and go over the pins?

[@keeperofzengarden]

Congratulations on your new haircut

[@gefthetalkingmongoose]

No rap! It must be Christmas 😊

[@charade993]

Oooh. Nice!

[@MichaelM28]

What are those clear cloths you use to clean up flux?

[@steve.b.23]

Cloths? They're cotton buds.

[@MichaelM28]

@@steve.b.23Not in this video. In a lot of his other videos he uses some clothes with a brush to clean flux residue

[@steve.b.23]

@@MichaelM28 Ah, OK. I get you. I can't say I've noticed Steve using them but in my last job we used lint free poly-cellulose wipes to clean flux from PCBs. Maybe that's what they are?

[@TravisFabel]

Can you tell me specifically what part number these ports are? I keep getting the wrong ones.

[@AnthonyCarr-d8o]

Random question but whats the thing called you use to restart dead batteries? 🤔

[@ronsonwagner9401]

I believe it's a TP4056 board with some thin resistor or other through-hole component legs soldered on the output so it's easy to slide into the battery connectors.

[@AnthonyCarr-d8o]

@ronsonwagner9401 thank you 👍

[@Teslamaniac]

I think you should use soddering too, so that he Americans know that you are soldering something lol

[@nwr99nwr99]

No one wants to see Steve soldering!

[@willster947]

The tunes!!!!

[@JaseEtheridge]

Dave... please can you ask voice-over-Steve to ask other Steve.... what temp he uses on his hot air please.

[@Okurka.]

Gas Mark 17.

[@sampahumeoli]

what a great song lol

[@alienfish8521]

Good evening.

[@karlfell3768]

Nice fix, but i am struggling to determine what use the tester actually is. You are testing a 24 pin plug/socket, but only have 5 points of measurement due to bridging of common lines. Maybe its just me missing something.

[@warrangota8721]

This is one of the many things you can use for anything your imagination can come up with. I have a 3D printing pen that had a weird barrel connector for USB power. Lost the cable and modded the pen with such a breakout module to accept power from USB C. Now I can use any cable instead of just the one very special one.

[@NorCalPhil]

A lot of my purchases lately seem to also be, coming from, China?

[@Enjoymentboy]

Are you SURE it was the breakout board that was stupid in this case? lol

[@darkstatehk]

I really find it hilarious with the "stupid " ending on these videos 🤣

[@аватар-д2т]

Какой спирт использовал? Почему в этом видео не показал 99% pure? ))

[@MrCageman]

I always see you pointing to 'this video here', but they are never actually showing for me. Ever. Wondering if you're just pulling our legs? :D

[@ErewhonGB]

It's an option you can turn off in KZbin settings from memory. They are definitely there for me.

[@InaldoTavares]

[@ianallen2]

Dont forget, on a USB lead, there is only 4 wires unless it is a charger cable, then there are only 2 wires. Not all pins are used. I have a thought that the pins are there for the future if they discover anything else that a USB port can be used for.

[@mikebarrett2621]

Research 'USB pinout'...

[@gamergod9182]

if the cable has only 4 wires, then it's only 2.0 spec. you still get higher transfer speeds with a 2.0 cable on 3.x ports, but to get full SuperSpeed, you need a USB 3.x cable which has 9 wires. I'm also pretty sure that modern devices and chargers do some kind of handshake over the data lines in order to provide more than the usual 5v charging.

[@Okurka.]

Welcome to the 21st century.

why are you fixing a 25 pence board

[@Okurka.]

So you can comment.

KZbin is getting more and more sinophobic lately. That's a shame.

[@richfromtang]

Great speaking voice, awful singing voice. Don't 'sing' bruv, it's really creepy sounding, level 1000 cringe. Count your blessings, :D at least you have a great narrating voice. David Attenborough didn't ever try to be a pop-star ;)
