Mercedes Benz Fob Repair. Key does not lock unlock vehicle - Drove from Inland Empire

10:44 top right, looks like a crack to me

[@drgnhilord6900]

Definitely looks like a broken trace

[@NorthridgeFix]

I know you guys wish it was a broken trace. It's not :-). I called the customer and the key is working perfectly.

[@peekpt]

@@NorthridgeFix the only thing I wish from you is that you never stop doing videos

[@papa_franku8049]

I love watching these as a locksmith, I've been able to fix these plenty of times

[@andrewstewart8704]

Hi NorthbridgeFix, Really like your videos and admire your confident and precision work!

That was pure genius 👏🏻👍🏻

[@tonychang6739]

Curious question, would this have been a ' no fix ' if you didn't have a donor board?

[@ST-lb8wp]

Very impressive, inspiring and educating!

Hello NICKO I have a 2003 Merc Estate E series out two fob keys which still have flashing lights but blade keys will not turn in the lock. Car batteries are flat as have been ill and for three weeks.Can you advise me please as to my next step. Many thanks Dolly

[@tikutiku2368]

Precision......Excellent Job!

[@mtarrow12]

That is some of the best soldering and desoldering I have ever seen..

[@4rmDavi2puMa]

Thank you again. Another Mercedes key NEC swap. Seems like you get alot of those...

[@jackcheefer]

8:18 i was scaring about that bridge on two pins of the NEC IC... but he knows what's he doing... fewww

[@edisonjo9350]

Hello i wanted to ask if i can use normal soldering iron to do this to a peugeot 107 key, can I remove the chip and put it in a duplicate key board which is bought from 3 rd parties

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job again like always

[@דודה-ר8ג]

The next chip contains the firmware that ties the key to the car. You can not move this to a newer key? Ie from a 2006 c230 key to a 2011 c300 key??

[@occazinfo7369]

Good job like always..please a link to the camera you use..also the hand attached on.

[@kiramatzu]

FE QUESTION first donor board how you get a donor board , because you use a entire donor board you dont lost money? , how mush normal cost repair a key , i know than anew Mercedes key cost like 300 and take like 3 weeks to be replaced

[@amtpdb1]

It must be hard to price this kind of work. You use a donor key that you took parts off of to fix others and now you put the removed parts off of the owners key onto the old donor key. Now you don't know what part is broken on the owners old key that you have left. You had a good donor and now have a questionable donor with something broken! Thanks for the video.

[@NickoDim]

Not difficult to price at all. As an auto electrician I do a lot of these type of fixes merging two or even sometimes three modules together. Just estimate your time and expertise and the price of the donor component.

[@bitdigital8052]

@@NickoDim what if no donor? My only problem with this “repair” video

[@NickoDim]

@@bitdigital8052 you just go to a wrecker yard and buy one.

[@dzenantuzlak4472]

Repair without doner board?

[@wayneburgher7760]

Where is your location

[@acemilo]

I didn't see a battery, where the hell does it get power from??

[@Deepak_shrma]

i have replaced the KEY FOB battery 3 times in the last 2 weeks, i replace it with a new battery and it works for 4-5 days and then nothing , i hit the button no light no response from car in the mean time i have observed the remote if the light was staying on like a button stuck but its not I used duracell cr2032 batterys

[@romangasparik8491]

how parameters have your camera ?

[@robharris71]

Where do get the board layout info for the phones

[@JohnSmith-el5mo]

@ 33 secs component label A106 looks like crack solder.

[@MartinRepairs]

0:57-1:00 seems like the traces are cut

[@dutifer]

Hey I have a question: is it possible to program a new key (not original) with my car c280 2007 even if it doesn’t crank? My car is like dead

[@papa_franku8049]

Sadly/Good thing, that euro cars are kings of security so by normal means no your gonna need a well versed locksmith or dealership

[@jaywebb5469]

can you fix a key fob for a 1998 mercedes c class

[@BodiAttilaAlexandru]

Anyone knows what phone is he using? I like the ringtone and i can't find it.

[@chotuusian4127]

Good work

[@sosa739]

What’s that clear stuff you use to before you solder? Looks like water lol

[@NorthridgeFix]

Flux, it's used so solder can flow nicely and helps prevent bridges between components or pins. northridgefix.com/product/amtech-nc-559-v2-tf-flux-10g-syringe-plunger-2-needle-sizes/

[@KNFIX-CUCHI]

good sr, thanks

[@zerocool278]

29 secs looks like cracked blue rf coil similar to the ones in iphones, I suspect that cracked when the key was dropped so the key was working fine just couldn't talk to the car.

[@classicrestouk]

Very nice work. I have a question, what is that translucent paste you apply when you are soldering? Is it a special flux?

[@ddjazz]

1:22 coil is moving suspicuously , may be a bad contact

[@pinoybtcanalysis6576]

You did not see the fuse. It moves when you touch it

[@FrèZacharie]

Awesome

[@gassanali8667]

what's the purpose of a 0 ohm resistor? can't it be replaced with a normal wire?

[@buildstoys]

Easier for the pick and place machine to deposit the resistor.

[@NorthridgeFix]

Easily removable for experimentation compared to just a trace. It connects 2 points together, or can also be used for current sense.

[@gassanali8667]

@@NorthridgeFix That makes sense. That's what I wanted to know. It makes no difference electrically when the device is being run, but it's associated with feasible desing and testing. Thank you brother! Your videos are keeping us technically enlightened. I watch a lot of electonics videos from different channels every week. You're a large step ahead of your peers. The most fascinating scenes from your videos are the thermal camera diagnosis. Wish you'll post small tutorials here and there. Have a nice time!

Onde encontro infravermelho Mercedes Sprinter, componentes solda placa. Referência 2711VA36021.?

[@ozkanak9895]

Hi I have changed the NEC Japan chip, I can open and close doors with the key and start the car, but keyloss go does not work Can you tell me at Mercedes Benz key which chip do I have to change for Keyless Go so that it works. Thanks

[@cassk9999]

Your diagnosis and procedure is off course with your outcome , after buying a new key and programming it you may find still the keyless function is not operating this can be caused by errors in the ECM/BCM module

[@renantejosesiguiente1442]

Cool

[@Franklinveterinarycenter1of4]

genius!

Why Mercedes Benz car keys are not as good as the Mercedes cars ?🤔🤔

[@someoyou]

Mercedes aren't nowadays as good as it used to be

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

they are both endless money pits.

[@jasoncorr7193]

Great job 👍🏽... how much does a job like this cost for dealer price and your price ? Thanks

[@ddjazz]

New key about 500$ / repair probably around 100-150$

[@jasoncorr7193]

ddjazz I’ve done this same repair for two of my Dodge Caravan fobs I assume Mercedes are a lot more expensive for sure $500
