Microsoldering 101 | How to Aim your Hot AIr Properly | Aim is IMPORTANT

[@markphilpot4981]

You couldn’t have explained it better! Like the ease you have getting the point across. Making the viewer understand about proper pointing of the gun so the heat is isolated to the chip and the residual heat goes away off the board. That is a good arrow! Very straightforward!

[@ahmed-k8i3k]

You are a legend Justin

[@hankbizzo5]

Hands down best component level repair on the internet.. No politics no BS just great information!!

[@TheArtofRepair]

I appreciate the vote of confidence in the channel! Ill try to keep u the good content =D

[@Opapa-Jan]

Justin, again thank you very much. Good tip. Some forget that there are also people who are not experienced, not you. You give at least have any tips for the newbies. Waiting for the next.

[@rizwanshaa]

good teacher. good point.

[@albertogonzalez6667]

THANKS FOR THAT JUST GOT INTO MICRO SOLDERING AND THAT TIP YOU GAVE WAS MUCH HELP MAN

[@TheArtofRepair]

So happy to hear about your successes! Hope to hear from you again Alberto!

[@131XIII]

Woow Very good video, helps me a lot! Thank you Justin!

[@kingslayer6430]

You make great videos man, thanks a lot. Can you make a video about how to remove the black glue(adhesive) under the chip. That thing is making me sufer, i destroyed so many chips cause of it.

[@Nick-zp7hk]

great..........👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TTT-V]

amazing teaching~!

[@cormacpyper]

Good Advice thanks for the video !

[@keepthemindoccupied6477]

Only watched a few of your videos so far and there awesome im just learning soldering and your no nonsense approach is helping alot got the heads up about your channel from jason at sts i think the way you and him dont over explain things definitely helps me keep up the work. John

[@TheArtofRepair]

I do try to find a balance between to much info and keeping the video short enough that it doesn't melt peoples brains. Some of my earlier episodes were suuuuper long and made people fall asleep XD haha

[@keepthemindoccupied6477]

There is only so many people i watch to learn from and to be fair at least you dont go off topic and i learn so all good 😁

[@ZimaletaMotors]

Thanks for teaching me this

[@TheArtofRepair]

Im glad you are learning on my channel, makes me want to work harder!

[@orangesoftwareandhardwaer237]

NICE NICE NICE THANKS , Please make other video how to now input and output for any ic’s in the Iphone 📲

[@TheArtofRepair]

No worries, this is in the very near future.

[@ajaks7636]

That's not for defrosting frozen chicken? Great Video! Thanks.

[@Opapa-Jan]

Hi Justin, I hope all is well! I don't see any more of your videos. I miss you tips.

[@kytkinlevy]

Thank you Justin! Please tell me what is the proper temperature for the hot air when you working with iphone board?

[@TheArtofRepair]

Good new, I have two videos on this, one with the exact temps i use, and another with how i derive this temp. just go look through my videos =)

[@kytkinlevy]

TheArtofRepair Thank you so much.

[@mrsemifixit]

Are you using a barlow lens to have more space for the hot air? Without one seems have to hold nozzle almost sideways, especially with the bulk of an led ring

[@TheArtofRepair]

Correct! im using a .5x barlow which gives you 165mm of working room, so you can aim in from the chest as you should. =) 1x has 100mm of working room.

[@mrsemifixit]

@@TheArtofRepair Have you tried a 0.7x barlow? Curious the difference between the two

[@TheArtofRepair]

@@mrsemifixit yes .7x should give 134mm, you can try one if you like, im sure its fine, I just like the most working room possible, as the zoom at that level is more than enough.

[@mrsemifixit]

@@TheArtofRepair Thanks. One more thing, does using a barlow lens affect quality of image (less 3D) or not enough to matter?

[@tejast4834]

​@@mrsemifixityes less 3d

[@freeuser8748]

Thank you a lot. What's the name of the mat that you're using? that heat resistant thing you put on it board

[@michaelclarke647]

Yeah! The mat? Cause mines burnt and melted all over the place.

[@zachreyhelmberger894]

I need help! While hand soldering (with an iron) a micro Sd slot onto a PCB, I accidentally bridged two pins to the metal shield on the top of the card holder. Now I can't melt the solder anymore because the shield is now a GIANT heatsink. What to do?

[@carlosberdeal6607]

Please do a MEMS Mic that has to be done from above!

[@monsterjdl6227]

My name is Rudy, the market promotion representative of Banggood Ltd. You are a very important customer and we are honored to be able to work with you before. I hope we can make great cooperation again.

[@TheArtofRepair]

As far as I know, I dont think I have ever ordered from Banggood. You may have me confused with another person. =)

[@nunogarcia9446]

Great video! How far do you have your nozzle when, let's say, you're desoldering some large underfilled IC like the nand or Wi-Fi? I understand that it can vary depending on the airflow you have set on your hot air station, but I would really love to know the distance at which you feel comfortable desoldering.

[@TheArtofRepair]

Honestly, The closer you are the better in my opinion. I think some people get thrown off on distance because they cannot see the component and don't trust their own work yet. I would say maybe 3x the thickness of the chip itself is plenty, and if you use a straight nozzle and cannot hit that angle, still being pretty close helps, its direct heat toward the target not to surrounding things. Thanks for checking out my video btw, feel free to always leave comments, and ill do my best to anwser any questions you have =D

[@nunogarcia9446]

@@TheArtofRepair Thanks for your prompt and useful response. The temperature set in the hot air station is not the same that arrives to the IC and it varies with distance, hence I do things carefully as to not cook the IC or popcorn the PCB itself. Perhaps I'm not heating the ICs enough, at least considering the time it takes me for the IC (namely Wi-Fi) to come off the board, in comparison with other KZbin videos. Since I'm working on my own boards, I guess I can try and experiment. Again, thanks for your help. Keep up the great content.

[@AliShah-qf8mv]

Thanks for everything sir.will you please make a video on complete shorting components?.i always have confusions inbetween parallel and series curcits.How to removing beeping inbetween capacitors.how to identify vcc mains?confusion on EN signal power ic if i found 3 same EN readings around power ic.Hard to judges which readings are because of shorting components.if i have a complete video on where abouts of components,how curicuit runs where electricity goes first in capacitors ,resistors or in diods.if you help me out it will be big favour for me.much appreciated.thanks.hope for the best.thanks once again.

[@LineofSighted]

What do you use to record stuff like this?

[@MoyDeeGaming]

It might sound obvious to some of us experienced soldered but I have to remind myself to do this. Stuff when I’m having trouble too. I’m probably also one of the people that he’s talking about. I’ve told Justin so many times that I hate working by the CPU, just remember these principles and you got it. Just don’t put a super heavy coin on the CPU because that can cause problems. R.I.P ticket #12384

[@daaudiome]

David that's what I was also thinking, weight of the coin might lower and explode the balls underneath, so what's the best option?

im suprised you dont have more subscribers, my man

Subscribers come in time =) Im just glad people have found my channel and its helped those who have found it!

[@kiiingsimba524]

i've been using kapton tape along side my hot air for years and never had a single issue with surrounding components. even complicated repairs have never been an issue. use kapton tape, flux(i personally like kingbo flux), some common sense and hot air rework isn't rocket science.

[@TheArtofRepair]

I mean you said it yourself, you have been doing this for years. On the flipside of Kapton tape, iv seen MANY techs who float everything under the Kapton because the Kapton is stuck to it, and they do not know the proper timing/heat which is definitely a learned skill on its own. Learning how to direct the energy you are working with is still an important baby step in moving forward, that coupled with using Kapton can for sure greatly increase your success rate. I appreciate your comment and hope to see more from you in the future =D Thanks for watching =)

[@daaudiome]

@@TheArtofRepair Hi Justin great vids, I'm into repairs not that of an expert with iphone boards but I watch different techniques. What do you suggest to protect and isolate the surrounding components. It's true what you said when sticking kapton tape components could slide if they're sticked to the tape. But I've seen some people sticking each of the ends of kapton tape just to the table. Can a small ram memory heatsink work instead of a coin ? or a coin it's enough ?

[@lalithacreations455]

Justin says There are better things to do this ... Me intensifies... Again says : But I don't care about them..I keep it simple.. Me feels great

[@hawaiisidecar]

I like bent nozzles.

I would really need to see the device =( could be a few different things.

[@mattie22011]

Is that a special edition quick hot air station

[@TheArtofRepair]

Yesir, Its a one of a kind solid gold one that also matches my solid gold FM203 and Microscope. Honestly, I painted them myself. It was a good time and def fun to do. =D

[@eniac22]

All the microsoldering guys has a steady hands like a surgeon? Is a way to make my hands more steady?

[@TheArtofRepair]

Just gota breathe carefully and base your hands and arms if you can =) Anything to add stability will for sure help. I appreciate the view and comment, hope to see you in the comments again in the future!

[@johnsweda2999]

Hi, I've been thinking about this problem Apple have been putting in front of people like you and Louis, and now trying to use Amazon against yourselves maybe eBay in the future if it isn't already. Somebody needs to start up a co-op for electronics generally apple sales and repair, If you can get together with other repair shops, and people who sell Apple products and other electronics there's no restriction of course. Make an app so people can easily search what they need to buy and services in their area they can use. Good thing about the Co-op co-operative business, is everybody who uses the Co-op for their business practice is the owner as well and have a saying how it's run, it is a true democracy business plan. Just use Amazon and eBay as your marketing tool and other social media, I think businesses will be attracted by it because they become an owner and further down the line if you floated shares on the stock market the reward would be greater for these companies. Doesn't stop them using other platforms like Amazon either. As the saying goes if you can't beat them join them and beat them at their own game. You have to work together all of you to stop Apple trying to put you down and out of business. And the other benefit is that you are a registered business as a co-op doesn't have to be in America, what is harder for somebody like apple to try and take you down just think of it as ants in a hive the Hive is the business co-op, and the Ants are individual businesses in Co-op

Hi Justin. What is quiet, you are too busy to have movies to upload? Like more newbies stuf.
