How NOT to learn to microsolder

[@rossmanngroup]

Hey, stop making fun of my board!

[@stanislavlattenberg]

+Louis Rossmann Louis does not kidding, it's a reality xD

[@elek19995]

+Louis Rossmann hah

[@UnyieldingVigor]

+Louis Rossmann Found this channel from you! Great content! I have one question for either you or Jessa.. Are there any replacement batteries for an iphone 6 that don't suck? My experience with aftermarket batteries has always been pretty bad, but I need to get a new one as im only getting half a day out of a full charge. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated.

[@elek19995]

+pbhenry3 you might have short somewhere.. which drains ur battery..

[@ibjessa]

+pbhenry3 what makes you think you need a new battery? iPhone 6 is kind of young to need a new battery. Troubleshoot elsewhere.

Once again, these videos are the best. I've learned so much in just the last 2 days of watching these and the tips are fantastic. Big thanks to you both for all of your hard work and above all for sharing this with the community. I know everyone doesn't appreciate these videos for their content ; but I read schematics and build as well as repair guitar pedals for a living. Repairing phones is much more difficult (on another level) because you are dealing with SMD components. Most music related electronics technicians will not TOUCH SMD / surface mount components when it comes to repairing a lot of the modern guitar pedals and effects units. I've been watching these videos for that purpose, as well as phones on occasion -- so thank you again for posting these ; I think you will help a lot of people in numerous fields of electronics repair with this content.

Hi and greetings from Romania ! I own a GSM service in Romania and i like your posts , they are very clear and helpful . I was wondering if you could tell me the model of your microscope because i need an upgrade and your microscope is exactly what i need . Also if you can give me a list with the tools you use in your videos i will be grateful . Thanks in advance !

[@leif011]

thank you for all that you do for the repair community.

[@stgrepairs4893]

Great job Jessa, keep doing this great videos. As I always told you your skills are tremendous!!!

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

Good video and recommendations. So far I love my AmScope Tri-nocular stereo optic microscope. I would definitely recommend them. I did the cheaper one first and the working distant was to much with the height of my chair and bench, but they had no issues on returning it and suggesting what would work for me. Also an iPhone 6 data recovery, why are people not using the cloud backup nightly service to backup if they don't plug into the computer to backup that often. If your cloud gets filled pay the $1 a month, $12 a year for the extra space then. It's probably cheaper then any data recovery fee's.

[@pequodexpress]

I stopped by at the suggestion of Louis Rossmann. I notice that your Chinese microscopes use different ocular lenses. One uses the older ocular lens with the focusing mechanism in the lens itself; the other uses an ocular lens where the focusing mechanism is on the barrel into which the lens slides. Do you prefer one over the other, or do they essentially perform the same?

[@vincentforcier4923]

Thanks again, great video. I torn a trace once removing a shield, but that one is baaad. I wonder how you'll fix these, i've fixed my messup of 1-2 trace but fixing so many traces ?

[@geoff3172]

Great videos, thank you for sharing , have you a link for the liquid flux, does the flux disapate the heat

[@tiggstah]

crazy, i just broke off two pads from doing that exact thing (ipad air). i have shakey hands tonight and ripped them as i was using the desoldering braid. fixed it though i didn't think that pad would be considered micro-soldering. what is a good temp to use on the rework hot air thing? for, say, taking powerjacks of motherboards. i don't have money to buy a good one and the boss has this crappy aoyue thing and i've not had any luck using it at all.

[@JessaJones]

using crappy tools is always a struggle. learn your station by feel. ignore the "temperature"

[@timstech5508]

There is something i learned from working on Apple boards with a cheap rework station.... You can't. The temperature and airflow is the same as the high end but the VOLUME is not. These boards absorb heat quickly so you need to pump a lot of heat into the chip to take it off.

[@louieloko4799]

I stay in la what's a good company /services to get trained at.if u know any please let me know and I wanna say u kick ass u are always a big help

[@JessaJones]

The only place to learn how to think and troubleshoot boards is our Practical Board Repair School in NY. We also teach technical proficiency--ports/connectors/backlights and microbga chip change. Anywhere else is at best a technical proficiency only school and at worst a complete waste of money.

[@themaskedscotslass]

im a big fan your good at repairing phones and tablets

[@RenzoJohnson]

What scopes are you using there? Please let us know :)

[@bigt121947]

jess educating as usual thanks again.

[@astroman5923]

Repetition I mentioned on a video Louis did the only time it's a risk is disassembly of a new device you have not seen before, at that point, I take the risk and make the customer aware, because most problems are from torn cables not physical damage to main board, As Louis said most walk away, but some don't, if you have worked with them many times before, cables are trivial mainboard damage is not, I hope the guy learned from it but that's someone way out of their depth, an expensive mistake, hopefully he learned from it. I must say I would have just turned that one away, especially with the ground plane chomping into the underlying traces like your bold to even try and deserve to succeed! I never like working on worked pcbs, because you can only start to look at the damage they have done and hopefully reverse it before fixing the original fault, you seem to be catching that elusive rabbit sometimes :) but you know these phones just as much as that rascally rabbit does. I started on cb radios so the components were HUGE back in 1987, unlocking frequencies etc, only advice I would add for people would be to work on low current boards that have a separate psu, or can be separated from it wouldn't want people to start frying themselves, start large scale down avoid TV's because of the voltages involved, unless you know how to build shunt resistors etc then go ahead. Buy a working playstation 1 they can be bought for £15 $30 or any console for that matter with small scale electronics aslong as it works, take parts off put back on rebuild it if it works after that you will do fine just don't give up keep trying, iron out the mistakes excuse the pun. The circuits are big enough to work without a microscope, you can easily remove the caps, resistors, inductors, diodes etc learn what they do...... And then test the continuity of the circuits without a microscope, change out the bios chips and verify based on the boot up OS go one further get a pipette and water and damage the board on purpose and then repair it. Be interesting for you to explain each component Jessa how inductors create a magnetic field causing current or I to ramp resistors and drift velocity etc again what you and Louis and Michael do is great, in regards to education fascinates me and makes me wonder how much of your biology studies PhD ? Crossover to electronics as it all covers chemistry and physics the only biological link is dna i suppose if you like how circuits integrate via code.

[@elenamarinca1184]

hello..I would like to see how you put back the shield

[@ahmetcelalkupeli2140]

Any salutation for new gen nand (I6 series ) as you know we can de soldering nand from iPhone 5/5c and Resolder to the usb stick for data recovery... Or It's possible to dump iPhone 6 nand ?

[@khangahraman5891]

ahmet celal kupeli it is impossible

[@frankieboyo1969]

What scopes are you using there please?

[@nad97799585]

hi, why you guys never do some android devices,

[@kofibadu1211]

Please how can I learn how to repair iPad

[@Krynn72]

With the "hold it until it drops" method of shield removal, have you ever had components shift/fall off, or do you find the solder on components doesn't melt when the shield's solder melts?

[@ibjessa]

No, the solder holding the shields melts at lower temp

[@MarkShaffer]

The shields are held on with an alloy that melts at a much lower temp, so when the shield is hot enough to come off, the board drops without and if the components shifting.

[@ethanchow7103]

+Jessa Jones Where would usually be a good place to hold the shields for an iphone? Thanks.

[@MarkShaffer]

It depends on the shield and phone. You've got to have an idea already of how the components are laid out, there are a few points you can grab any shield safely.

[@ethanchow7103]

+Mark Shaffer So just anywhere that there are few components?

[@كايتوكيد-ظ1ح]

I own a telephone 5s does not function if Datoh on fallow the Supply does not give you any indication of switching on of the same and I Alentabjah metabolism also do I plug in charging the same result please help

[@ibjessa]

Contact Rany Saba in Lebanon. He speaks Arabic

[@gpoaacbh711]

Rule No. 1 for soldering in my apprenticeship as an electronics technician was: 'Never use force when soldering'

[@AngeloRecaman]

Hey Jessa, I am WISH from ALL of my HEART go to your course. But I cannot afford it at the moment because ITS not only the TUITION (That's fine actually). But food + airplane ticket (from Brazil) + hotel + other things = EXPENSIVE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I will say one more time PLEASE Make an ONLINE VERSION of your course!

[@JessaJones]

and i will say again, online version of course = youtube videos

[@AngeloRecaman]

Jessa, I know that you have EXCELLENT material on your youtube channel. But for US beginners interested in getting the WHOLE point. Watching it without an organized way is difficult. Thats why I think you should make ONLINE courses. I wil keep watching your videos. However I do believe that REMOTE courses would make your stand out even more worldwide.

[@alexburton3062]

hi I have a big problem with my Ipad mini I put a disk on it and somehow the screen has gone weird I then googled what's wrong and a lot of people said smack the back of it it made it slightly better but not much the screen as gone staticy and there's a weird white patch at the top of you have any idea please help

[@ibjessa]

You need to replace your LCD. The smack on the back, or "percussive maintenance" as we call it only works (sometimes) for iPad 2

[@alexburton3062]

Jessa Jones ok I'll try that

[@alexburton3062]

Thanks

Hello from Puerto Rico 😊

[@angelitoore1]

Please could you tell me about your microscope carateristics? I want to buy one or somebody help, Thanks

[@JessaJones]

Hi! Thank you for your interest in the equipment we use. I use several different microscopes here, including an Amscope microscope, that can be purchased at the link below. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MRAAR4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B005MRAAR4&linkCode=as2&tag=rossmanngroup-20&linkId=8c3b94523f849afcbb9e232f303e4670

[@mobiletexchbaguio1512]

Great video tnx for sharing

[@StephenRimingtonrimtech58]

Really want to get into doing this any where in Australia that you know of that does A1 WORK that you and Louis Rossman do and teaches the same skill set ie techniques how to repair properly being watching all your videos nearly Im pc repair tech but love to do what you guys do

[@StephenRimingtonrimtech58]

+Stephen Rimington awsome guys

[@hawaiisidecar]

Thanks for this.

[@K4gixxer1000]

Your hilarious Louis! Good video Jessa!

[@stepcorngrumbleteats7683]

My phrase is "Not Economically Feasible"...10 days of time to replace 20 pads (@ your max rate + a "kiss my ass" fee added) = 25 iPad mini's @ full retail...$$$...LOL

[@ibjessa]

You'd be surprised what people will pay for data recovery

[@stepcorngrumbleteats7683]

+Jessa Jones Yeah, I keep forgetting NOBODY backs up the data...except those of us that do...😏

[@ethanchow7103]

+StepCorn Grumbleteats I always back up my customers' phones before doing anything, even if its just a battery replacement. So far haven't destroyed anything yet.

[@stepcorngrumbleteats7683]

That's the smart way to do things. I suspect you have much success by taking proactive steps like that. Good luck to ya.

[@ethanchow7103]

+StepCorn Grumbleteats yea I just use ibackupbot and back it up to a flash drive that I give the customer. Usb2 drives are so cheap these days.

[@eduardangarita8133]

me gustaria hacer un curso con ustedes se ve interesante y me gusta

[@elek19995]

roses alloy + heat 250 C = no broken pads

[@sypher0101]

12:33 are they solder-iron-tweezers ?

[@JessaJones]

yeah man. Hakko mini hot tweezers. I use them for 90% of the microsoldering I do all day every day.

[@sypher0101]

iPad Rehab Awesome! never knew those things existed, can deffinitely see how they would make microsoldering much easier :)

[@elek19995]

removing shields: low heat on max + 5 min = succes

[@devicerepair2350]

we are all ve been through that

[@henrikloiske8572]

I got the impression that someone used an excavator to take of the shield...Yikes

[@StephenRimingtonrimtech58]

ps I live in Outback Queensland Australia

[@ibjessa]

There are lots of great microsolderers from Australia. We have one Australian coming to our board repair course this week.
