I had to redo the work and restore the 2 pads that I though didn't connector anywhere 😡

[@linxkarino2348]

Yes , at the video i see very tiny via on the board, on that two pads😅

[@michael_pa4mic]

No one is 100% perfect😉 but what an amazing job done!🤩 I need to do my first but still let it wait as I’m scared. What temp do you use for this?

[@confessionsofafirstlineman4914]

Is there no way to connect wires with the connector still on?

[@NorthridgeFix]

@@confessionsofafirstlineman4914 Not possible. the via's are under the connector. We have to scratch and expose the copper then apply solder, Mask it then put the connector on.

[@farhadfarajzadeh2971]

thanks for your honesty king any points on board goes to some another on board perhaps you could directly conect that two points from another point on board with wire

[@michaeldouse8971]

The smile on his face when he makes sure the job is done correctly. You really do inspire a lot of us. Keep up the great work.

lol' that smile means another 200 bucks in the bank

You are an encyclopedia in the tech world. Not only you do them best but share your experience and knowledge.

[@shadowarez1337]

The persision on scratching that line for jumper wire @2:16 is almost surgical. Amazing work as always keep up great content 👍.

[@calvinmientke3539]

This is what I believe is the most artistic fix of all of your videos. The thrill of a very nice fix and that "we fixed it grin" keeps me watching. Very good, very good as you say.

[@waheedsaddique9013]

Got shocked when read the tag line that conmector replacement gone wrong..... 😂.... u r always brilliant.... continuously watching ur every single video and get inspired, am also a technician and learned alot fron u buddy.... Love from UK❤️

[@hightttech]

Beautiful work, NF. I come here to learn tools & techniques of microsoldering, and this video very informative. The stuff i work on is getting smaller by the day. Sorry to hear you had to immediately rework that pretty job -- been there.

[@dragodrazenovic1064]

Odličan video! Imaš stvarno mirne ruke. Pozdrav iz Hrvatske!

[@steveod3198]

Great job! I do this job as well and I usually solder it from the top with hot air using 310c @30% airflow so it don't blow away. I usually remove them from donor boards by heating from the bottom. Always worried about blowing something off, so question is what temp were you using roughly when you heated from the bottom to solder the new connector into place?

[@foxd23]

i replace RGB LED's the same way, since there are allot of them in a row. Keep up the good work, you give me ideas for my work.

[@gearycoshow4057]

I love seeing the smile when you fix things brother always motivating me to be better and continue to learn. Wishing you continuous success and prosperity

[@ragazzo8134]

I almost finished my 3 weeks staycation and I’m proudly telling you that i binged on almost all your bench work great teaching classes videos. Much too many commercials, but it is what it is. Happy new year to you, and family, Maestro. Cordial greetings from New York City.

[@victormanx]

thats a lot of patiance, and loads of pulse and skill

[@94sadico]

holy shit, you make it look easy, I tried fixing a micro usb port that is enormous in comparison with that display port and I messed up everything. cheers, I wished I could be half as good as you someday.

[@confessionsofafirstlineman4914]

Hi, I think since your channel encourages people to try repairs on their own, which is a good thing in my view, that it would be good if you can go thru the common misstakes a beginner can make. Maybe if you recommend practicing on a test board or something or what you recommend doing. I have seen that you started offering microsoldering courses which is great, I would want to participate in your training courses myself but Im in Sweden and now with covid19 I think it is better to wait for now. Thank you for your wonderful channel!

[@vejza1108]

14:05 you could save a lot of time on cleanup (especially around connectors) by dipping the pre-tinned wire into flux instead of applying flux onto the board. That technique works for me every time

[@dougtaylor7724]

Enjoy watching you channel. Thank you for showing others how to repair and sharing your skills.

[@jim7t]

Love from Greece im so happy waching and learning thank you!!!!

[@stefanlechner]

Nice work, so many videos, i love it. Nice job, doenst matter if you had to do it twice. We are all humans and make mistakes, so its more practice for you. And its also very nice to see that you always take a look at the rest oft the board, instead of just solder the connector. Its a sign that you love what you are doing and you are very interested in what you are doing. Thats how it means „a perfect service for the costumers“ 👍👌 thx for your videos

[@andylewis3461]

THE WORSE connectors ON THE PLANET to solder. And so easily damaged when inserting the FFC you wouldn't believe it so well done to repair that!!!

[@temporaryscars]

I did my first one while watching this video and it worked! I freaked for a second because when I removed the old one, it had something attached to a few pins. I thought for sure I ripped some pads.

[@R4S_Store]

I'm in love with this contents.. I know im not gonna do the same but i like it a lot and watching it every time even the older videos keep it up 👍

[@tommyjohnson7506]

I remember my first time replacing this connector and seeing that nintendo screen after i was so proud😊 also the traces going inwards under connector make it super hard and annoying

[@ctecrwp]

Proper tools make life soooo much easy....👍

[@shahfx1235]

Beautiful job Alex

[@christopherjohnson771]

Wonderful video! I have a question about customer policy. When you are doing tedious, intricate, and time consuming work like micro soldering, what kind of guarantee do you give the customer, or do you give them a guarantee at all? Wondering out of personal experience.

[@pawepawlik8071]

Hello, Cool movies, when you soldered the connector, you only used hot air? or some prehater from below. What temperature and air pressure did you set? I melted the plastic a few times. Regards

[@Tech_Wes_]

Man what size wire is that? Magnetic enameled copper wire i assume? .01mm? Incredible repair fine hand and watching you bend and shape the trade repair wire so smoothly and perfectly is nuts. And cutting them that close to the pcb with the exacto blade... Impressive

[@dadalbouhali]

Hard work. You're a master.

[@mikes252]

Don't understand why people think they can do this level of micro electronic repair at home on their kitchen table with a cheap pencil soldering iron. This stuff is a professional level repair now with how small the components and traces are now. especially with the poor quality of manufacturing OEM's are doing now. Support your local independent repair shops.

[@radstf6342]

local independent repair shops in most areas are not even close to being as good as this guy is

[@johny1220]

Loving the constant uploads man, keep em up please! Also, what UV light curing solder mask do you recommend boss man? Thanks! 😄

[@khirobey6261]

There's a lot of brands like Sunshine wired lamp or the Qianli one appears good you can go check

[@nonamedelete9132]

Bro it doesn't matter, its just a UV flashlight.

I always wait your videos to learn from your experience keep up it up man because you do a great job Love from syria ❤

[@Ha4r4eset]

Thanks for your content. I was watching some of your older videos and it got me thinking. How does one find a reputable repairer (other than the word of mouth/referrals)? Like in any other profession, there are good guys and not so good guys.

[@ks-mq3fm]

your skill is amazing. it will be great if you can upload some tutorials on electronic components and circuits.

Happy new years for you and your family

[@manuelcarballo7869]

Hey bud. Love your content. Question. Where or how do u get donor boards? It always good to have one to refer to and where to get parts. Would like to know how u get them? Thanks.

[@CCellService]

Nicely done man it need patient to get this job done, people might need to reconsider about repairing something on their own with just watching on KZbin.!! Buy some practice board n get used to it learn more n more until u can do it right,so next time people don't need to fix your own mess.. Good job 👍👍

I wondered what kind of product do you use while soldering, I watched you with admiration. Can you tell me the brand of cake and crem? I want to buy that product. Where can I get it?

Did you use lead solder? If so, what temperature was the heat gun at, 350C or higher, considering you heated it from the other side of the board?

[@NotBorno]

him: if the pads weren't ripped we'd be done by now. like i always say... me: what can you do him: what can you do *fist bump*

[@naheeduddin1672]

Brother I've just started out microsoldering as a 16 year old. J purchase goot wick for desoldering but it seems to keep on getting stuck to the pads no matter how much flux I use. Is it just cheap quality or am I using too low of a temp (300°C)?

[@reco783]

perfect job

[@ludaboss4503]

Great work!

[@r4dius]

Some of the pads you said were not connected to anything look like they are "narrow" vias on top or bottom of the pad, you can clearly see in the zoomed views

[@NorthridgeFix]

Read the pinned comment. You totally missed it.

[@dannyash3805]

Why are there so many twists and turns on some of the lines coming from the connector on the board? Is it to equalize the signal transit time?

[@shabazpatel8703]

Perfect example of "vacation" song...😄😄😄 you must listen to it... And need shout-out if you agree 😂😂😂

The customer will attempt repairs from watching your videos

I need a new connector for my switch any chance you would be willing to replace mine it’s not as bad as this one since I haven’t attempted to repair it myself yet

if there there are component on the bottom of the board they will fall off so you cannot always use this way.
