iPad Mini 4 Not Charging 🧐 A prior attempt

[@Cbiscuola]

Jason is just the coolest guy yould like to have close as a friend. Patient, humble, dont loose your mind when things are driving crazy. Very cool vibes. Following here from Brazil. Huge fan.

[@ststele]

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. 🙏

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

heya so good there are people like you who can really repair foons

[@ag4391]

Very nice, I would trust you in repairing any of my electronics. Very meticulous, awesome work! That chip did not look that small under your microscope, but when you had it on your finger, wow, that is a small part to work with.

[@ststele]

Thank you! 🙂 I'm always thinking about it as it looks in the microscope so it's easy for me to forget just how small some of this stuff is.

[@APSuk2]

Was great to see the connector replacement, always good to pick up some top tips. The airflow & temps are much appreciated.

[@P61guy61]

I sent you my wife’s iPhone 6 Plus after my failed screen replacement and then more abuse by a “professional “. I appreciate your sharing knowledge. You have a huge amount of accumulated knowledge. Excellent editing and enjoyed watching.

[@ststele]

Thank you! It looks like I will be giving you good news very soon.

I want to learn electronic repair, any guidance on where to begin would be much appreciated. Thanks for your content

Jason does it again… nice work. Have a great day.

[@ststele]

Thanks, you too!

Excellent video, thank you for the temps and air flow.

[@chasefournier]

Good video! Nice and easy one for you Jason!

[@TheCod3r]

Good stuff bud. Glad to see an ipad port prior attempt that didn't end up with 10 missing pads

[@ststele]

Yes, a routine port repair is welcomed around here for sure. You are absolutely nailing it with your channel. I never got anywhere near the amount of views you are getting when I had 36k! Very nice! Edit: In fact, I just checked your stats and you get more views than me! That's really awesome. (I'm not jealous :D )

[@techbuildspcs]

A good non toxic community? I don’t believe it

[@olias2k979]

Heres a filthy Tip Tip for you that i use regularly. When the iron is hot rub it into some iron wire to scrape off the flake, old solder, flux, then when the tip is clean of debris put the iron into retipping tin compound. Im still using a tip i had from 8 years back and its like brand new every time i use it.

[@optimizelogicrepair2784]

Great technique. I am currently fighting with an iPad mini 4 that had a bad tristar. I changed it and now tristar testing good, but still not charging. I’m thinking of changing to charge port too.

[@cellmanf1]

I love your content. Thank you so much Jason.

[@baghdadiabdellatif1581]

Great to see you Jason. Great work 👌

[@sharfazhameed6382]

Thx a lot for another great video Jason.

[@eSelekt]

Hello ;) Regards from workshop in Poland!

[@myakye]

I have found the same thing with that tester, I have also had bad charge ports when the tester says it's ok, hard to trust that device

[@MicroMageRepair]

Nice work as always! Interesting approach on soldering the port, I'll give it a go on the next one just to see if I prefer it!

[@ststele]

Thank u! We could always just peel it off like a band-aid.. :D No heat required.. lol

[@randyr.parker2698]

Cool! A Jason video, and it's only Friday. 👍

[@klevrepairs]

Hello Jason. Quick and great video. Very nice my friend

[@SergZak2023]

Excellent content...great job, Jason!

[@daviddenson3324]

Hmmm....so maybe the tristar chip just needed to be refloated? Because the tester said it was bad or maybe the tester was wrong? Anyway it looked like there was no underfill on that tristar either - is there any underfill on tristar with other iPad models??

[@toddk968]

I binge watched your videos last year and enjoy watching your work! I was looking at the USB meter you used on this repair 14:29 and noticed it was not the Union Repair model in the description. Could you please share which meter that is?

[@You-qb9wn]

I love watching your videos

[@pldaniels]

Very interesting that the A3B didn't work out for you --- I'd have been willing to try another one but at least in the end you still got it working, which is a lot more than what I get done around here :D Love the new video style.

[@TheCod3r]

You're not too shabby, except when you're blowing all your SMCs 😛

[@pldaniels]

@@TheCod3r pffft... turns out they were fine anyhow... was a flakey 3V42 blaming the SMCs ;)

[@ststele]

Thanks. This style is a bit easier for me and also requires more exercise (I need it). I really wish I would have just tried one more IC tho!

[@Ajtech369]

I'm not an expert on ipad repairs but the first replacement chip you put in was labeled as a 610A3B but you were saying 1610. Is there a reason the chip wasn't labelled correctly??

[@stevenwhiting1424]

Another excellent video, please keep them coming

[@Mazlie]

you ever gonna invest in a fume extractor since you mainly do board level soldering work?

[@jessekauffman3336]

Missed your videos bro I learn alot

[@aceace5457]

very good jason lol but how can we be sure you have not got a bad chip lol .

[@Diamond78903]

Have the same exact issue. Just submitted a ticket. Thanks!

[@sasuke0poons0all]

Looks like a MobileSentrix replacement port. good parts quality for domestic orders thats for sure. a little pricier than china but way less problems with their parts

[@johnmorgans7919]

Another great video keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@DillonV]

Out of curiosity no judgment either way do you happen to use any sort of fume extraction

[@ststele]

I work in a really well ventilated area and don't intentionally inhale fumes but I don't have ventilation directly at the source. Although I work with this stuff all the time, I rarely ever directly inhale any fumes that come from my soldering. I will likely add direct extraction before much longer though.. I'm eluding to a workshop move - if/when I do, that will for sure be part of it.

[@fullwaverecked]

I just got back from feeding 6 strays. 27 degrees. Thinking I'll move to Florida. If I can catch all the furkids...

[@infexusbytez]

I've put an A3B on pretty much anything Apple for a long time. Never seen a problem with one. Wonder if it's a compatability issue or a bad chip?

[@ststele]

Yep, same here. I only keep A3B on hand. I sort of wish I would have went ahead and tried one more. So many things could have caused the hang up. I was more looking to fix it "right now" rather than satisfy curiosity though. :-)

[@apple_unlocking_services3004]

Good work Jason !

[@rodrigomaero]

As far as I know the 610a3b is compatible with all three versions of 1610, at least on iphones they do

[@ststele]

Yes, same here - I only ever order 1610a3b. I'm thinking it may have been a bad chip or some other cause entirely for it hanging up. I should have tried another a3b out of curiosity but I was more just trying to get it fixed and back out the door.

[@AnonymousRepair]

Another great video, I had the same thing happened to me with Iphone 6, I still wonder if it was outdated IOS

[@ststele]

Interesting.. It makes me wonder about every single iPhone I've ever had hang on Apple. I don't always change Tristar to rule it out like I used to. I guess I better start doing that again!

[@j.lietka9406]

Great repair video! Thanks for mentioning the hot air settings during the IC removal & replacement!

[@ststele]

Thank you! Early on with board repair I used to think that the temperatures really didn't matter that much but now I'm a bit more careful. Very little time for mistakes with higher temps!

Hey curious are you still seeing touch ic / audio ic repairs in your area? Seems to have lessened quite a bit

[@zx8401ztv]

Hey you say sodder or solder or Magic metal if you want to 😀 Smolder is possible lol 😀 But if you say Aluminium as Alooo minum i will knock your door and run away lol. Yes i am silly, it stops me going mad... err madder :)

[@ststele]

Oh no... lol, I'm pretty sure I do not say aloo-min-ium like a mad-man. :D

[@HuntersMoon78]

Oh wow that chip was so small. It looked pretty big under the microscope.

[@GrenPara]

Great video, thanks for making it.

[@brarautorepairs]

Do you need to push down on the IC when you replace it? What about cleaning the old solder balls with wick?

[@ststele]

I usually give the IC a small nudge just to see it is floating but try not to not push down on it. Wicking is good but I normally don’t wick when doing smaller ICs.

[@dave7010]

👍👍 Nice one. No Trix, just a fix. 😉

[@harpingon]

Sees massive chip being soldered. Then you put it on the end of your finger and I'm like ... uh - that's really tiny. Good job!

Hey! Love the videos, found you by accident and have been binge watching since. Also local to me too! What're your thoughts on the weather recently? The dark mornings have been killing me...

[@ststele]

Thank you! We have been spoiled on weather down here. It seems this place doesn't really participate much in winter. Our neighbor cut down a big tree and now all of the sudden, the sun blasts me right in the side of the face in the morning. I like the warmth but it's way too much light.
