I have learned a much from you, i started as a phone mechanic just changing screens and parts, now i also do motherboard repairs that regular phone repair shops doesn't fix. Very glad to know you and to watch youre videos bro👍🏻

[@hightttech]

I learned that you get a lot of bang for your buck from poly caps 💥.

What we learn in this video? Leave special jobs for the experts, cause it's cheaper when first try is good!

[@SiETechNotebookReparatur]

You can use low melt solder on these caps by desoldering, it works like magic 😎 But really, i used it many times.

[@pr0xZen]

If you can reach to the pads with the solder, it's an option. Just be _VERY_ thorough in removing all the old solder from both the cap legs/pads, the receiving pads, and your iron tip, before soldering the cap onto the receiving board! When you mix lead-free (factory solder) with low melt (138°C) bismuth+tin, and then afterwards solder it on with leaded solder, you now get an alloy mix of tin, bismuth and lead. This mixture is extremely brittle, but more importantly, it has a _very_ low melting point. It's basically chipquik, without the indium. It will quickly weaken under normal use, and melt at *94-98°C !* (depending on mix ratio). That's within the higher range but still normal operating temperature of most modern GPUs. To avoid accidentally introducing this weak point to boards you're working on through cross contamination, it's highly adviceable to keep a separate tip cleaner mesh cup, dedicated to cleaning bismuth-containing solders off your tips. And be thorough when you do so. If you do that kind of job _a lot,_ it can be a good idea to keep a couple of separate solder tips dedicated to bismuth and chipquik. Especially if you use a T12 solder tip cartridge type iron, as you can get good knock-offs for under 5 dollars.

Exploding caps! Been there all too often. Not only the shock as it goes bang but the smell lingers for ages

[@mikedrz]

A good tip for removing smd caps like that is to use 2 irons. One from each terminal at the same time. Comes right off without breaking leads, no explosions either. lol

[@mirrored_]

No way to do this when its SMD without exposed pads, just like that one in video

[@tunderbird123]

To remove SMD caps, I use solder tweezers.

[@geovani60624]

I desolder these smd caps by aplying heat in each pad at a time and pulling it just a little at a time, if you have patience it works every time

[@Lakia9428]

Blowing caps off with heat is good for your blood circulations...thanks for the tip ! ; )

Wish i had the boards 'bag of tricks' you have. No luck finding reasonable priced donors so far. Your videos are always entertaining & educational. Thank you. Putting the mechanic short finder on my list of next things to purchase from your store.

[@vicky4547]

I am electronic engineer....I respect your work and effort.

[@AnonyMous-jf4lc]

I learned that you need a solder sucker to make life easier. Additionally, SMT components will have a set heat tolerance that they have to meet for manufacturing. The solder will always melt before that threshold is met, or the manufacturing process would be impossible. If you have a good hot-air supply, it should closely regulate the output temperature.

[@thenoid5131]

Yupp in our tech room we used to have rookies blow bigger caps but they didn’t smell like fireworks it was more like smoke and fish smell it was all part of hands on training and safety because some of the bigger caps can harm you really bad or even kill you if not properly discharged and handled correctly, thanks for letting folks know 👍👍👍🤠🍕

[@mbwatson1000]

I have seen a simple technique for removing SMD caps from a board - without any heat! Simply grasp the cap with pliers and twist them round quickly, and they will come off the board. I have seen this technique works for the board - when replacing old caps. I am not sure if the caps themselves survive, but it seems to me that if they come off the board, leaving it clean, that there is a chance that they will also be ok - though the connections may need straightening. It is worth a try.

[@turboslag]

Just realised, you pronounce the word solder correctly! Americans usually have a weird way of saying solder, sounds like soder or, sawder?! Anyway, you say it correctly so congrats from this Brit!

[@HazeAnderson]

I learned to be careful with hot air on my caps! 😀

Caps and hot air don't mix, thanks Mr.H!

[@doriondouglas6176]

I think the real lesson. is to subscribe, because this guy is awesome

[@centdroid]

So why does a capacitor blows up when heated? Is it because that capacitor is a solid capped one and does not have any room for expansion?

[@JL-mn9on]

I enjoy doing dabs and watching these. I have no clue what's going on but they are crazy interesting

[@ohmegroin]

I learned to leave it to the professionals to do this sort of stuff!

[@kevinhammond9864]

Have a stock of new caps and reduce the chance of a heart attack 😂

[@MatejS3]

i remove these caps with Weller soldering tweezers, or sometimes with Weller WXMP and low melt solder from ChipQuik. And i allways put new caps if i can.

[@mirrored_]

How you do this wit hot tweezers when pads are not exposed like this one in video?

[@MatejS3]

@@mirrored_Its all only about technique and experience and the pads are allways little wider than legs of capacitor. I use chipquik smd291 flux + chipquik low melt solder to do this. i put soldering tweezers on the pads near capacitor legs with usage or flux and low melt solder and do the job easy.

[@stonedsavage7814]

I learnt those caps prefer winter over summer and that through hole caps can be soldered on surface mount pads

[@needlethread4715]

just curious why you didn't use solder suction instead of solder wick to easily remove the capacitor from donor board.

[@TechnicNerdAT]

doesnt make the 2 legs a short at the cap from the capacitor? or im wrong?

[@floris1200]

That's what I thought also, and that's why the smd caps have a small insulator on the bottom between the legs and the cap

1st wear PPE. (Safety First). 2nd Pay attention on what you are doing. (Memphis law). 3rd Use low melt solder to remove component and solder with lead solder. 4th do not over heat Cap or plastic parts with Hot air. (Eye on your surrounding). 5th Check components for loose leads (Scammer parts). 6th Clean it like a Pro. (Be a professional). 7th If cap pops remove rotten egg smell quickly with fume extractor. 8th Do not be afraid, grasshopper! 9th Follow 1st step... Etc...

How much heat in C would cause those caps to blow up?

[@tarupam1paru586]

If the capacitor is small enough for the hot tweezers to reach both ends of the legs of the capacitor it will be a convenient way to desolder/resolder the capacitor 🤔

[@corvettebob96]

lol, I do watch for the fire works so it didn't surprise me. I watch to see the customer fireworks and hear Alexs' description. Bonus: I get to see what is really inside a capacitor instead of a description. I learned to wear safety glasses when working with capacitors. Out of curiosity, how much noise does a 330 microfarad( μF) capacitor make?

[@pr0xZen]

Do you work while watching the camera feed on the monitor, or is it only for recording and you have a separate stereo/trinocular microscope? How is the delay/latency from real movement on the bench, until you see it on screen?

[@pr0xZen]

@@RevAim Thank you. He's made some content on this since then, but I appreciate the feedback. I've used a trinocular microscope since the start at work, but trying to piece together a setup at home. I got a neck injury so a monitor would be preferrable that way, but IIRC he said it was hard and took a long while to get used to working with cam and monitor (doing so all day long for a year I think he said?) so I'm still a bit on the fence about it, because I can't afford both.
