Last week I fixed a young co-worker's PS5 HDMI port, and I could not have done it without your videos. Low melt solder and combining hot air with the soldering iron and wick was a lifesaver. I had some experience with the hot air station already but game consoles really do suck up the heat. I've never seen that kid happier. His PlayStation is his most valued possession and he works his butt off. Was happy I could save him some money and I'll be sure to buy more supplies from you!

[@samholdsworth420]

You're a god to that kid now 😂

[@chiankailin5957]

Sometimes people want stuff to be fixed no matter how impractical and expensive it is ,it has a chance where the stuff holds a part of their memory,like gift from loved ones that passed away etc.

[@ItsDoms]

No kidding, I had a customer pay $200 to fix an iPad 3

[@lukedavis436]

I largely fix stuff as a hobby so anything goes in my case...but I understand business Wize Also iPhone 4s are an absolute NIGHTMARE to disassemble, trust me I've fixed about 5!

[@sk22ng]

You're a genius, Alex. That last pin correction was truly over the top as it would've been fine without the added solder in the scheme of things.

[@todormiroleskov8663]

I've tried to change a flex cable on an ipad mini 2 and it was a nightmare. So one again on camera it seems like an easy job but if you've tried it you will know the struggle. Nice job, Alex. 🤘🤘🤘

[@luckyirvin]

Alex, after earning a NASA Soldering Certificate years ago, I see your quality/reliability is outstanding, I would rejoice having you as a teacher/trainer, and your efficiency is epic. Salute, Sir!

[@kcinplatinumgaming2598]

its good to watch your videos, in 2020 i had a stroke and it keeps my mind occupied as I used to fix stuff like this myself and after the stroke it now makes my eye sight poor ...its sort of relaxing time watching your videos .. i miss those days but watching your content makes it worthwhile to me

[@bryanch3549]

I don't have the patience to do this kind of work (or the steady hands) but I really enjoy watching a master at work. Thanks for the videos.

[@the1whofights434]

Just went back and watched that video- crazy repair on expensive device. And you have the hands of a surgeon so steady and precise and under a scope. Great stuff

[@GoingShirtless]

I own a 7. gen that I know has a charger port that is faulty as the connector is sloppy and moves quite a bit. I have already purchased a replacement port with the flex cable, and as I have never done this specific repair I have been a bit hesitant to get on this job. But now, seeing this fix done with relative ease with just a soldering iron makes me more confident. I do not have too much in the way of precision tools such as the very fine tipped soldering iron, I thought I might wing it and use a copper brad nail with a very fine point and hopefully get a makeshift one-use soldering tip out of it: Hey, if it works it works :) I may order er proper set later! Thank you for many entertaining and informative videos!

[@TheRetroBristolian]

I wonder if the camera just makes it look worse than in real life, but trying to see through those cloudy windows to line up the ribbon cable, you're a better man than me!!!! I couldn't see anything! Awesome repair as always 🙂

[@bblod4896]

Not one of Apple's best designs for a cable interface but you handled the swap easily with the right tools and experience. Thanks for the video.

[@Alasdair-Morrison]

The respect you have for your big boss is outstanding.

[@posceve]

I love the LUMA solder!!❤

[@pajon82]

In this particular case, I was able to see the alignment better without the antiglare light. But as always, WE did a great job! ;) Alex, you are the king of all kings! Thx for all the knowledge you bring us all! Wish you all the best! / Greetings from Sweden

[@MrTJP777]

You should check out the closed captions... They're displaying your website incorrectly. Cheers!

[@Peter-oc3wl]

Amazing soldering job !

[@gregfisher216]

Great Work Alex and big Boss ,the boss of all boss's ! I can see for the weekend warrior ,hobbyist this could go south in a big way. Practice makes perfect !

[@dennishammond3126]

Awesome work as always 17:06

[@JacobLara]

What were you looking for in that window for alignment? I couldn't see anything.

[@mikeforbes2721]

My tip has been lasting me a pretty long time. It works really great. It built strong and long-lasting.

[@decoderchidi]

A master and more. Greetings from Nigeria.

[@Dheazzo]

Perfectionist indeed

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👍

[@robertbartram5632]

[@amirmooti5719]

Beautiful 👌

[@jcsopinion3899]

We need more big boss man !

[@raindeergames6104]

My tip has also been doing pretty good.😊

[@nazarepair]

Hello Ali, i want to ask you if your camera is compatible with regular amscope microscopes, i have one, and i am wondering if i can use your camera on my microscope, i am used to work with the eye pieces. Thank you.

[@icommandoi145]

Should do a Big Boss disassembly videos

[@MasterJediSean]

Hi Alex, Speaking of Re-Balling, could you please do video showing how you re-ball IC's RAM, GPU, Max IC methods and procedure? please and thank you!

[@RedRacconKing]

9:44 those equations are called piecewise functions.

[@ArmenianBot]

I feel like I haven't seen any videos from you regarding reballing. I'd love to see some!

[@NorthridgeFix]

[@bashbash3973]

Very neat fix. Vow

[@DIYDaveOK]

Well, Alex, good or bad, you've encouraged me to at least try replacing an HDMI port on a monitor. I bought some low-melt solder and flux off your website and we will see how it goes. Fortunately, it's an old monitor my son got for next to nothing off Facebook, he's used it for a couple of years (cable messed up the interior connector), so it's a low risk effort 😁. If that works, I move on to replacing a USB-C port on my daughter's Switch!

[@savagesmiles7794]

Fair warning, USB-C on a switch is rough, definitely find a video on that lol our solder guy wrecked a few before he finally got the hang of it

[@VincentVonDudler]

How does Big Boss test the TriStar IC?

[@suryavanshib]

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@smiler6968]

do you deliver to the UK love your video`s

[@marcelomendonca2095]

Yes he does

[@noperception5073]

Better than factory!

[@jimmcgraw3276]

It looks like as soon as the melted flux got on the alignment windows the alignment pins stood right out. I wouldn’t see what you saw until then.

perfect

[@helinghaus]

nice

[@savagesmiles7794]

The amount of people that do not understand that being a cheap device does not make something cheap to work on is astounding lol

[@mikel1982]

I use my tip every day, too

[@normanwells11]

"I use my tip every single day" 🤣🤣🤣

[@stevetech7335]

It's weird that the tristar tester didn't indicate a problem with the charge port.

[@smarthome2660]

You do an amazing job at soldering, but how can you say better than factory when you didn't add the glue that the factory adds?

[@ca3340h3993]

He didn't use that horrible brittle crack-prone ROHS solder that the factory uses so no need for extra glue.

[@meeponinthbit3466]

​@@ca3340h3993beat me to it. Lead free solder is like 90% of the reason all this crap fails today. This ROHS crap cracks and leaves unreliable/failed joints, or just rips fragile pads off the board due to expansion/contraction. What's worse, for high power components like FETs that increased resistance then causes increased heat and causes components to fail.

[@uhohwhy]

but.. but... appel producs never fail :DDDDDDDDDDD

[@rebelcounty2078]

you would have made a great dentist 😂😂😂

[@oemytech]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@qjc21]

Better than factory

[@michaelmeux4137]

The pad at the end was bugging me also

[@TheHeisenberg1970]

Aren't the new phones harder to work on than the older ones? At least it seems to me like that.

[@diegoknyte]

Our guy here is talking about customers. Ya most are fine and understanding but there’s those few that will try to twist the repair/cost somehow into their favor even if you try and help them. I’m an auto tech. I now never give time estimates. Had a cust come in and ask how much to change an alternator. We were in the service drive and i thought we were being casual. I told him “about 4 hours.” Key word: ABOUT. Book was actually 4.5 and he flips his s#!t saying “your guy said 4 hours! You’re trying to rip me off!” Pbfft, ABOUT! 3.5 to 4.5 hours is ABOUT 4 hours ya dummy. My saving grace from the big boss was I know some tricks/shortcuts, as it is in our business, and i got it done in under 3 hours. You pay for the experience and expertiese. Sigh, they do what they do. Ever since if they ask I refer them to our service advisors.

[@that_panda]

At least it wasn't a 6th or 7th gen.. That 4013 issue (cpu issue) annoys the heck out of me

[@somebodywill]

Better then factory 😅

[@shokdj1]

Im only working on worthless stuff because I'm practicing. Expensive stuff that I don't want to break I won't touch

[@mpjohns]

Hi

[@MasterMayhem78]

Almost always

[@tracycolorado]

Perfectionists are far and few between 😢

[@dustinswatsons9150]

But can you make me better than factory I'll pay for the shipping you just pay for the data

[@johnfranklin177]

Tbf, the customer shouldn’t have to pay for you figuring something out ! You’re supposed to be an expert and know what you’re doing

[@ajayaYtube]

It doesn't matter how old the device is or if it's non economical to repair it. It's about reducing e-waste! That's something you americans still have to learn that profit isn't everything in life and that not everyone is commie or socialist who cares about..
