[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Good to know.

[@1957mrbill]

I've used both Hakko and Metcal soldering/desoldering equipment. I found the tips for the Metcal last considerably longer than the Hakko. The Metcal also has a larger selection of tips for both soldering and desoldering. For those who use the old wet sponge for cleaning tips, use DI or distilled water and not tap water. Depending on where you live, tap water can have a large amount of minerals and that will affect the cleanliness of the iron tips.

Hello. Firstly I wish to say that I am quite pleased with the aproach and quality of content. That is with your work. It seems to me this is not going to be another waste of time. So thank you for sharing the expertise. As this is the start of a new interest of mine in a way of prioritising, I want to say hi to everyone, and I hope we can work together sufficiently.

[@paulw2216]

Wow, just about to get back Into repairs after 10 years of been away, your practice boards idea blew my mind! Definitely going to buying some of those.

[@dalevanderzee4086]

I know this video is 5 yrs old now, but one suggestion on the issue with microscope platform being above your surface area, you could cut a sheet of plywood to cover the desk and then cut a square hole in plywood to set the stand into. You could then use on top of the plywood a heat resistant ESD mat. You would naturally cut out the square in the Mat too so. If you wanted to take microscope you can simply pull it out and off you go. I would also cut a piece of plywood to fit inside the square in the plywood that exactly fits so you can remove the scope and put in the plywood piece and put the mat on top and now you have an entire work surface. This way your entire work surface is at the same level. Much easier than using books to prop up extractor, etc..Only downside is your scope will be in one place all the time, if you wanted to move it to another location on the table, It then puts you in the same situation you are currently in in this video

[@adirondacker007]

I use a leaf blower for a fume extractor while I jump up and down and microsolder on a wobbly table. Lots of rework for some reason.... :)

[@stevewest1677]

I use rubber o-ring around plunger stem to stop them coming out of the flux housing

[@divix_mp3807]

Hi i figured out that "blu tack" is doing the job with flux and plungers, just apply some between and you are ready to go and still easy to remove it when flux is done

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Thanks I’ll give that a shot.

[@mulatiechekol4513]

Thank you for the demonstration you made! I got additional knowledge and I want to say thank you!

[@f2.8vidz4]

Thanks for all the info and your experience with the products ❗️ I’ve subscribed.. Been Soldering old school since 1970’s finally decided to repair laptop boards.. Cheers from Northern 🇨🇦 Luke

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Thanks for the comment. Good to hear from a real veteran. I didn't even pick up an iron until '94. More videos coming soon.

[@chauffeurmarco]

I love the red one with the fine tips. Very practical in micro components.

[@TheRcEngineer]

Nice video keep up the good work. It is always so interesting and educating to see which tools work for others and trying them out yourself. Thank you

[@sharymens8187]

Hi there, which microscope do you currently prefer voor smd components?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

I was using the AmScope SM-4TPZ and it worked great. I have since changed out the head piece with one from Kaisi shown in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5vIqIaPhd2gjbs. It has a greater field of view and is fully compatible with my current stand. It's the best combination I have found so far.

[@sharymens8187]

@GoCellPhoneRepair Ah thank you!

[@jeffarias3740]

Best video ever showing tools

[@vladnickul]

One can find chinese hot air soldering combo stations with calibration pots. you can set the temperature with your prefered tip or nozzle, they are perfect for a hobbiest.

Nice vid, am wondering wy if the use of a thermal cam can speed up the trouble shooting?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

That was a while back. I do use a thermal cam now. Just don't buy the FLIR ONE Pro. That's a mistake that I regret. Seek is the best option IMO.

[@Metalhead-4life]

Im looking for Magnification to repair a power supply board out of a 55" led tv and a couple of the smd's are very small. Dont wanna spend over $2-$250. Not sure if I should go with a Tomlov DM201 or an optivisor? I wanted a microscope like an Amscope but I dont think I can find one for that price. How much magnification should I go for if I get a Donegan optivisor?

[@brian2196]

Build your own fume extractor. I did it for $120 us with a used inline centrifugal fan. Cut to shape carbon pads cut to shape electrostatic prefilter and a large storage container.

[@mikems2949]

thanks for the information and reply at this time i can tell you that it isn't going into headphone mode and the screen doesn't black out when you make a call, lately i gave it to one lab to check it and now i can not make any calls only if i am with headphone connected

[@adamkelly2256]

/for the problem of having the solder paste thrown out: Save a larger jar (like a jam jar), clean it out, and put the solder paste jar into the lager jar. Optionally, label it in large letters.

[@jstro-hobbytech]

Kester owns that low melt brand.

[@laidman2007]

Seal syringe plungers with silicone lubricant. It's used for the o-rings on fountain pens

[@w8lvradio]

Great video! TIPS FROM AN OLD RADIO GUY: 1) I wish someone would make a cheaper hose type fume extractor to compete with the "better" blue n yellow brand. The price is just RIDICULOUS, especially when you are committed to using their filters. 2) Have a straight work surface. A "Curved" table is a pain: It doesn't allow round bellies to get close to the work. 3) You need to get a GOOD work chair. You can recognise a BAD chair the first ten minutes that you sit on it. Find a GOOD chair, and quality on chairs doesn't have a lot of bearing (but some) on price point! Look until you have found a SUITABLE CHAIR. (Remember the old joke line from the movie "Used Cars"... "Son, for every Seat, there's an a$$...") Find one that suits yours. You need a GOOD CHAIR OVER EVERYTHING ELSE TO DO FINE WORK. DID I ENPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH? ;-) 4) You need EYE PROTECTION. Just like when you go to the High School Prom: USE PROTECTION EVERYTIME. 4) You should also WEAR A MASK. Without one, when you exhale, you will lose smd parts. And you won't find them. 5) Those SAME SMD parts are an INHALATION HAZARD, and if you don't think so, you are just kidding yourself. 6) adding flux to solder wick works well. Braid from old coax also works and is cheap. 7) REVERSE TWEEZERS from Joanne Fabrics work well. Never have seen antistatic ones, and always wondered why. And FINALLY 8.) For any electronics work: You need a meter that has a MICROAMPS SCALE. This is also a quality check in general for the kind of resolution and accuracy that you need... It's also the difference between doing "electronics" and "electrical" work. When it comes to measurements: You wouldn't weigh a letter with a Truck Scale, nor would you weigh a truck with a postal scale.

[@lord_haven1114]

I just use a vivosun inline fan (they make them for grow tents but they work for anything) for around 69 dollars. You can get the hose for cheap from same company on Amazon and I use a portable air conditioner window kit to have the hose out my window. They aren’t expensive either. Just a piece of plastic with a hole in it for the ventilation hose. If you aren’t near a window they have other attachments as well like a big filter that’s also pretty cheap.

[@eclipsesecurity7941]

With your flux I would get luer lock syringe seals. They are made specifically to seal and prevent the leaky tips.

[@Occhublu]

Where do people get component spare parts? I can't seem to find any for phones.

lol, I love those magnetic tool bars. I've got 6 that were all free with coupon. I actually have another coupon on my desk right now to remind me to grab more @ $0.99 each. And Arctic Silver is a huge ripoff. I picked up a 25g tube of 5.15w/m.k thermal grease for $5 on Amazon. I believe it's 3x the price for the similar performing Arctic Silver brand

[@DQImaging]

21:27 - I built a stand to hold my various flux and fluid syringes from a piece of scrap 2 x 4 block of wood. I cut it to 9” (L) x 2 (H) x 1.5 (W) and drilled 5 evenly spaced holes all the way through at a diameter of 3/4 inches each. Then on the top of each hole I dremmeled out roughly a 1/4 inch countersink in a shape resembling the syringe finger-holds so that as each syringe’s push stem recedes with use, each syringe still has a recess to hold it upright. IMPORTANT NOTE: My template dimensions were designed for 5 identical syringes that I bought and filled myself with flux, thermal pastes, lithium grease, and machine oil. Meaning, I knew the consistent dimensions of each syringe I required in advance of building the stand. Your mileage may vary based on the various sizes of syringed products you purchase. I’m going to 3D print my next version of this syringe holder.

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

That's a great idea! I am figuring out how my new work bench will be setup and on thing that I am lacking right now is shelves for all of the equipment that currently takes up space on my desktop- power supply, hot air station, soldering station, etc. I'll have to make sure to allow something to attach the stand you described as well as my magnetic strips that tools stick to.

[@cemilderici7505]

danke für deine tip und empfehlungen

[@clownisius]

Have you considered boring a hole on that work desk so you can attach the pole from the microscope, so you can get rid of the base? or do you need the base to be portable?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Yes! I actually replaced this scope and moved it to another location but attaching an articulating arm/stand to the work bench is my ultimate goal.

I have been interested in lerning about cell phone repair and ipads and so on. What would b e you suggestion for me to get started in the learning process. Also while the thought just hit me, what tools are need for a beginner thanks for yo ur time

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Hi Kenny. It would take some time to thoroughly answer your question so I will plan for making a video response in the future as there are probably more people out there who want to know the same thing. For the short version: The best way to learn is hands on. Work part time at a repair shop that is willing to teach you on the job, take a repair training course if practical, and at a minimum buy some broken devices and see how far you can go using online repair guides. The majority of this industry is screen repair so don't feel obligated to jump into micro soldering at the beginning. You should have made plenty of money by the time you take that step. When it comes to tools you'll need screwdrivers, pry tools, a heat gun, and lots of supplies. It will depend to an extent on what you plan to repair but we do have a few recommendations on our website here: gocellphonerepair.com/tools-and-supplies/ Any good repair tutorial should make what you will need for the job obvious. As time permits I'll work on a more detailed answer for you. Feel free to add any additional questions that you have so that I can address them at that time.

[@josephmelville9141]

You dont need a fluke multimeter just get one that's good. I have friends in India that's masters at fixing electronics and they use the cheapest multimeter

[@polonavarro6177]

ihave a tip for all tech here. see that cold air can to detect shorts? it cost around 15 to 25 dlls. well some of you probably know that a can of compressed air can do pretty much the same if you put it downwrd and shake it. then spray the board and then slighty blow the board with the same air can this time with the air outle up. or blowing it with your mouth. thanks to edgar yoreparo youtuber. ,my master

[@Icez]

Question here, would someone be able to micro solder from just useing an added camera looking at pic on a LCD screen to do it? Or do you have to look through the eye peices?? Which is easier? I have a mircoscope but it Needs a camera, it has no eye peice to look in.

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

You can but in most peoples opinion it is much more difficult. Having a stereoscopic view allows depth perception which can be a big deal especially when dealing with very small parts.

[@Icez]

[@MrKlaygomes]

So, fluke is like apple of multimeters. Just use for status, but others less expensive bdo the job well.

[@sviktor4]

Fluke is big, bulky and overpriced, pretty practical for high voltage stuff, but takes lots of space on the bench. There are mid priced multimeters I hate them all, basically they are worse than the cheapo onces, not accurate, draining the battery, or you just can't turn of the *@^# autosleep and the beeping. Cheap Chinese multimeters like 20 bucks little ANENG or UNI-T are much faster with wider resolution 10000 and 6000 digits. If you measure resistance especially in milliohm range I don't recommend them, but the DC voltage is spot on. My current favorite multimeter for low voltage stuff is ANENG AN8008 with fine tip silicone probes.

[@gitmac53]

I know you made this video 6 months ago, are these still the tools you still using? I'm really interested to getting into microsoldering but still have to get all the equipment... almost gave up when I got a solder iron from radio shack, really frustrating never got any done... then I look at your videos. I found this 3 in 1 853D SMD DC Power Supply Hot Air Iron Gun Rework Soldering Station Welder and is less than $80 lol (there are some videos about this), I'm almost sure you didn't have to go thru this type of equipment but I don't have a lot of money... so my question is, would you recommend that for me, to start on something or save up and get the equipment you mentioned here? And thank you for the amazing videos!!! And you answer my question at the end of the video haha... this one comes with a power tester also

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Wow six months goes by fast! For the most part I am still using the tools shown in this video. There are a few new things that I've added so I'll be making an update soon. As far as soldering though the Hakko FM203 still gets the job done for everything that I've had to work on.

[@gitmac53]

Go Cell Phone Repair hurry up with the update lol... then I should save up to buy the right equipment or star with something cheap?, not radio shack cheap though haha

[@IMEllison]

I have the hot air rework station you're talking about (just air version, not both) and it works good for me. However, I don't do a ton of SMD work currently. Idealy I will upgrade to better quality when I do more, but it's a great starter station. I think you should get it to start. I also use to the Hakko FX888D soldering station, it's amazing and afordable. Not perfect for SMD work, but it works, and it's night and day better than anything from Radio Shack!! Cheers!

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Hey Edwin just going through comments now. If you want to order the 2.5mm driver from me I'll send you a practice board along with it. They are pretty basic but I think you'll but it helpful. I'll put up a video on them in the future.

[@edwinthetechnician6578]

It’s alright Mike and oh great that’d be great and I’ll appreciate it so much going to make the purchase now on the driver thanks again Mike appreciate it

[@AyLexZ]

Those practice boards are useless )))) throw them away, its a completely different size scale, it won't give you any good practice besides it is leaded solder on them.

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

They don't come with any solder on them so you can use whatever you prefer. We recommend 63/37 rosin core as it is easiest for beginners to work with. The scale is larger than most components you will work with on phone motherboards so yes, if you can't master these then no use planning to replace something thats 0201 or even smaller. Old phone boards are a good option for practicing too.

[@AyLexZ]

Go Cell Phone Repair , even if you master those, the work on phone logic boards is a completely different ball game. Those boards make more sense for laptop repair practice, TV, gaming consoles. I would suggest buying a few dead boards instead and practice on those. The once you have are more for understanding the smd concept, obviously there are some through hole components there too, which you won't find on most of the modern phone boards. IPC uses those boards for the certification though, so if you are looking to obtain one that's the way to go. ))) correct me if I am wrong please.

Here in Canada that Hakko soldering station costs $1200 to $2400. Someone somewhere makes lot of money. If I ever need it I will buy from Amazon.com because on Amazon.ca they are a bunch of thieves. Even with the US curencies it will never be close to what they ask for.

[@TazR6]

Solder has an l (L) in it. You can see it, right there in your title. Why don't you use it? Do you call a folder a fodder? If not, why do you call solder sodder? Also, the gloves are as it says, Nitrile, not Nitrul. I don't understand. This is not a dig or criticism, it is just an observation I have made.

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Good question and no offense taken. My English is far from perfect so while I may not be the best person to ask I'll do my best to offer an explanation here. The English language, especially American English, is a funny thing at times not only when it comes to pronunciation but also spelling. In short it comes down to dialect, word origin, and in some cases laziness. Where I live we don't pronounce the "L" in walk, half, salmon, or caulk. So these words sound_more like wok, haff, sammin, and cock. As you might imagine that last one makes for plenty of sophomoric humor especially if you happen to call a hardware store. Saying these words differently would _sound_ wrong to most here if that makes sense. It is in my opinion easier to say them this way so there is an argument for laziness being part of the reason. According to one theory: British people tend to say "sole-der" while Americans usually say "sod-der." This may be due to the fact that it comes from the 14th century English word sawd which derives from the old French term soldure which comes from the Latin solidare. It is possible that the British started to pronounce the "L" under the influence of the French but that Americans have retained the original pronunciation. There may be places in the UK where people still say sod-der depending on their dialect. In my experience the way that I pronounce it is based on how I learned the word and the way that virtually everyone I know uses it. Is it the _proper_ way to say it? I suspect that is subjective. Does it sound unusual to me when someone says "sole-der?" Yes. Is Spanish from Spain the exact same language spoken in Mexico? Definitely not. Language is a fascinating topic and while I am certainly not an expert on the subject I can say with confidence that it is considerably influenced by geography.

[@TazR6]

@@GoCellPhoneRepair Despite your denial of mastery of language, you are very eloquent and your knowledge makes mine pale into insignificance. I thank you for your in depth "best" reply. I shall henceforth do my best not to stress at what I feel is bastardisation of English. Every few miles here in the UK, accents change massively, and they all have different words and pronunciations for things. That sounds normal though, because their dialect/accent is still English. One I cannot stand though, is where I am, we would order a "ham salad cob/roll". A few miles north, and the cob/roll becomes a barm cake! A bloody barm cake! Why would anyone want to call a bread roll a barm cake lol? I actually grew up in Winnipeg, but have been back in the UK for a number of years and I have lost my Canadian accent, but I still interpret a cob/roll as a bun. Thank you again for your explanation, and I apologise for the delay in response as I have only just happened across your response. Happy Sodering :) Neil

[@patroni99]

Taz - Your comment sounds rude. And “sodder” is an acceptable pronunciation. I’ve been in electronics since the fifties and have heard it said that way 95% of the time. You may be too young to know, and too young to be nice.

I probably did in the video but anytime it's available on Ebay I buy there.

that amtech flux you have is in fact the fake one, the original does not look like that. would recommend not using it

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

I ended up getting some of the real stuff and side by side- wow. Totally different color and label.

[@nhojyelbom]

yeah, going to actual flux vs petroleum jelly or whatever they pack in there. as long as you dont buy from ebay / amazon and only from authorized dist its gtg
