I visit the 9th dimension often and I can say a lot of tiny capacitors do come here.

[@leeheggie7043]

Alex is right. I used to use an all in one station and struggled but invested in a JBC soldering iron and an Atten hot air station and it was a big game changer. It allowed me to work quicker and be more precise. The jobs are now much easier to do compared to when i had the all in one system.

I saw Jay’s video and thought he tried hard. This video was impressive. I didn’t know much about the tools, flux, and solder that is needed today. Thank you.

[@KingZeusCLE]

As someone learning to solder on PCBs (older GPUs currently), your channel has been infinitely more valuable than all of the other big tech youtubers combined. Subbing.. you've earned it. Thank you.

[@LONETK]

I can honestly say I`ve never soldered anything in my life but love to watch these videos. Thanks Alex

[@xman2k2]

NorthridgeFix you demonstrated why you are one of the best and most respected repair channels ever. You make it look so easy. Well done Sir.

[@robertpage2023]

Great demo show today! I have to tell you that I made my own pin straightener by taking a very small hollow tube made of aluminum and then placing it over the bent pin and angling it back to the up right position which bends the pin back to straight. It is quick and easy to do. The hole or inside diameter of the tube fits perfectly over the pins with little play making it easy to bend them straight. I do heat the pins first but not to the point of melting the solder at the base so as get a more pliable result putting less stress on the metal.

[@jeffhansman2829]

Or, *gently* use a mechanical pencil with the lead removed. Works like a charm.

[@jorgep8454]

Very good video Alex. Every single person that watches this video will definitely learn something. It felt like I was taking a soldering course.

[@dondywondy]

NorthridgeFix is the master micro soldering guy! Thank you again for making editing and posting your videos! I always buy my tools and equipment from NorthridgeFix!

[@colinreece3452]

I've watched many of your videos Alex and I must admit you are master especially with the soldering iron, I have watched others do soldering and I'm no expert but some of them to my mind don't do a good job and a lot of them look messy when finished. Thank you again your explanation on this was spot on, you shown us the right and wrong way, you are a top man Alex.

[@myaccount8864]

I did replaced a few days ago 2 broken pins from a Amd ryzen cpu,with hot air station and thanks to Alex by watching his videos , i had a successful process! Thank you Alex for all your shares! You and big boss are awesome!

[@cod176]

I’ve gained so much confidence from watching your videos, thank you for the free training!

[@commanderphantom]

Absolutely love your material! You've been quite an inspiration to me and my technicians, leading us to tinker and practice with more things to hone our skills. Keep the content coming!

[@facyali]

I thank you for the tips and tweaks man, sharing your skills costs a fortune, lesson learnt and will be applied. Thanks once again

[@Dustii91]

I doubt I'll ever realistically need to do anything remotely like this (although I'd love to!) I've managed to brick my motherboard, so going to attempt to rewrite to the chip, searching for methods eventually led me to this channel, the rabbit hole began😂 I find these videos so informative and entertaining. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and education.

[@suluturnip]

Thank you so much for the lesson on how to desolder and solder CPU pins. You are an excellent teacher.

[@David-oz7se]

I have to agree your microscope is the best I've seen on KZbin repair channels. High definition and great detail and colour. Dept of field is very good also

It's no fun when CPU pins go to the 9th dimension. 😂

[@milosstojanovic4623]

Some people are really the experts in destroying those pins properly :)

[@ThisIS_Insane]

Actually, He has been doing this for years, as his procedures and practiced hand movements reveal. I am unsure of how much theory he has, but he does understand the underlying rules of how to handle and protect these tiny components, as he says can go "to the 9th Dimension". Love your channel and the methodologies you use. Congrats on building a business for the family to share in! Thank you, Alex! 😁🙂👍👍👍

[@danytoob]

A pro doin' pro stuff. Beautiful. Sharing his knowledge and wisdom, making the world a better place. Thank you.

[@niklasniklasniklas1]

I love your videos! You really out here teaching people. I want to start repairing stuff myself. Maybe not expensive stuff or super small things at first, just for fun. I bought a soldering iron a month ago and i started trying repairing old gpu fan cables and tried to solder back cables on to the fan hub, but i did not have flux and i believe that made it more difficult so definitely gonna buy that and see the difference.

[@janoskiraly805]

I've learned so much from this video. I struggled a lot with my soldering iron because solder won't stick to it or just partially, and I had no idea why. Guess I have to invest into a better quality iron and tip. Thanks a lot for this video, very insightful.

[@volvo09]

If your iron is that bad, you will be thrilled when you get a better iron. When solder doesn't want to stick, heat won't transfer to the workpiece well, so it makes heating up what you want to solder real hard... Sometimes impossible.

[@xbmc79]

I have a very cheap china soldering station with a very cheap soldering tip. The tip was ok and the solder stuck to it very well until the wires fell off the temp sensor. The tip started to glow and the solder never stuck to it again. The coating of the soldering tips breaks down due to too much heat and the wrong type of solder. I really tried a lot, but nothing led to success. Since i didn't have no other soldering tip, i sanded the soldering tip down to the copper. That was 3 years ago and the tip still works very well to this day.

[@therefix342]

Your tip could be oxidised, even more expensive tips will do this if you don't look after them. Try cleaning it with wire wool and flux.

[@nerdstrangler4804]

@@sulcusulnaris Nah some of the chinesium tips are just trash. If his tip ever worked properly, I am pretty sure he would have realized there was something wrong with it. I bought a cheap chinese soldering station back in the day, the tips that came with it worked just fine. But I bought some replacement tips off aliexpress and they were like solder repellents. He probably needs better tips.

Alex, you have to record more videos. It's very pleasant, to watch how you work! :)

[@coburn_karma]

It's a shame Jay and Linus don't take the time to view other great KZbin content creators such as NorthbridgeFix. Computers and Electronics have a vast array of different avenues and applications than just hardware reviews. This channel is a Godsend to those who prefer to tinker and fix new or old items. What school would you attend or have the time in your busy career to learn just one aspect of electronic repair? Thank you for all the free lessons.

Linus manages 80 employees and is the face of his conpany and is the host the majority of the time. Jay manages a few employees but is also the face of his company. They're doing pretty good in the real world when they've been around for roughly 10 years.

Your mentioned creators are working in different aspect of entertainment, they promote consumerism.

[@tippyc2]

A lot of elitism in these comments, but i think most of them are missing the point of Jay's video. Jay's perspective is that of a hobbyist, probably closer to what any of us would experience trying the repair with reasonably attainable equipment. You can't really compare his attempt to that of a professional with access to thousands of dollars of equipment doing the repair.

[@paulstir]

One of your most informative videos I have seen full of useful tips and tricks thanks for this one Alex 👍

[@HanCurunyr]

The more I watch your videos, and other technicians as well, more I get impressed with your skills, and more I think that I dont have the motion control required for this and I'll gladly play for a professional to do this for me if I need it one day. Altough I have a broken Xbox Series controller and I'm kinda tempted to open it and see if I can fix it, a stiff left analog and sticky A and B buttons.

[@mikatorkkeli4932]

I saw Jayz's video in my feed but i knew that it will be bad and didnt watch it. Cant do it either, iam just getting my tools together and iam just at the 286 pc motherboard kind of micro soldering. I have a good solderin station but its not good for varta battery damage so i bought a solder sucking station, not the best but works, tried manual pump and solder wick but that didnt work for battery damage. Needed flux and more solder and good suction to get parts off the board. Did do hirosima with my xbox360 because of no good vision of the board but later i will fix it. Tools are so important, heat and vision is the needed parts. Thanks i have learned a lot from these videos!

I do plan to order some flux and tweezers from yall because I did order cheap amazon ones and well... the flux is hard to apply and extremely sticky and the tweezers I keep having to reshape.. I was doing a test board and one of the semiconductors on 1 side 3 pins touch and the rest are floating and I for the life of me don't know the best way to level all the pins. I shelved it for now as I was getting frustrated trying to work them with these crappy tweezers.

Up until last week, I thought I had the best tweezers, a set of Bergeon's... then on a whim the week before after being given the nod I bought for £3.50 a pair of dental surgery tweezers, made by an English company called Medentra... the bigger locking ones have very grippy tips which for holding screws about the size of them cpu pins is a game changer, the other set in the kit are ultra ultra fine, extremely fine tips never seen 'em that thin before and both surgical stainless steel and has made such a difference to doing my watches. Sometimes you can spend absolute fortunes on the heartell of others and find instead a diamond in the rough like these Medentra's, many of my watch friends have now bought some and agreed they are absolutely awesome tweezers :)
