Alex, you could always charge for a repair attempt before even looking at the board, this way you get paid either way. If the issue is fixed, bill for the remining balance. As always fantastic work and you make it look so easy!

[@stefanlechner]

Nice work alex. It seems you work like on an assembly line...one board after another. Thank you for the video. Really great.

[@georges6432]

@8:12 "Distributor of the flux" we also sell "flux capacitors" :)

[@Rodox2k10]

Alex, for the Switch Lite fix, upon physical inspection I noticed that you might have missed the 150K resistor sitting right behind the daughterboard connector, which is next to the battery plug you've replaced. It's missing.

[@onuroskay8613]

At 11:30 in right corner?

[@SubjectiveFunny]

nice catch

[@vejza1108]

That's unpopulated by default, you can tell by the color of the pads, if they're golden it's empty by default, if it's silver and pointy something has been removed by force, if it's silver and smooth it's either desoldered or empty by default but with solder pads, empty by default ones are usually too perfect to be mistaken with a desoldered component.

[@rylar717]

Thank you for explaining why you use lo-melt solder onto top of un-leaded solder - makes sense as you dont want to use hot air to damage components

[@pedangsakti2448]

Watching you using the solder wick is like seeing art. So satisfying to look the wick sucked lead like a vampire... I loved seeing your video everyday, it's my inspiration... Thank you Alex, Love from Indonesia

[@patrickamiri5596]

So often it sounds like that you have to protect yourself and the work that you do, but you don't have to, rules are rules and the people who wants their item repaired knows that. Great job Patrick from Denmark

[@ca3340h3993]

I've done a few of those type C connectors on switches before, and they're not a beginner friendly job. The one thing I always do differently is not to put leaded/low melt solder on the back row of pins when removing the old connector. This way, I find that when they eventually melt, the hidden row will be close to melting too and I'm less likely to attempt to pull the connector up when 1 or 2 of the inner pads are still stuck and rip them as a result. But each to their own.

[@dracolnyte]

Hi, I'm from Brazil, I really like your videos, I would like to know the microscope model and the set of lenses you use! A friend who lives in Texas said that in the US they don't fix computer equipment, but watching your videos I noticed that this is not true! You do really nice services just like I do here in Rio de Janeiro. A big hug and congratulations on the repairs! And the love you have for your work is amazing! Thanks!

While you press and hold the chip, is it not possible that the excess solder shorts the connections under. How are you so sure that they don't?

[@mrmedoali4200]

Exactly. You should NEVER push on a balled chip. you place, nudge, and it will sit it place on its own.

[@edwardgalvan5412]

I don't think that particular chip was balled if we are talking about the same thing.

[@azharuddin2023]

[@mrmedoali4200]

@@azharuddin2023 Yes I know that. I was just speaking in general and referring to balled/reballed BGA chips and not this particular chip in the video.

[@SauvikRoy]

Brilliant job on the connector. It would have taken an unskilled guy, hours and he might have even ripped the pads.

[@SauvikRoy]

@Repair Wins You're already halfway there for being honest and trying to learn by looking at someone else. Many other repair guys would not even admit their mistakes, even to their own selves and open up any device, knowing full well that they will damage it. They will wreck the device further and still ask for money like ransom. I hate such losers. It makes good people look bad. In general, the idea that these people are essentially promoting is not very different from the likes of big name companies that promote replacement over repair, or deincentivise repair.

at 9.30 i wonder if you could use some cone shape pieces of metal to go in them holes to help align it easyier for us novices

[@qlum]

Charging for repair attempts with keeping the device as an alternative is pretty fair. If it can't be repaired, most of the time it is of little value to the customer anyway.

[@Vibropollo]

The connector it's broken inside. Just like me. I can feel you, little shiny fella.

I replaced the left control stick and now L3 is not responding when I click down, i had trouble getting a stripped screw when taking it apart, could scratching the board affect L3?

[@MBorga]

Hi Alex are you using low melt solder to solder the new connector on the Board? Best regards from Germany

[@repairtactics]

Can you buy switch lite usb c ports yet? For some reason I can't find them, the normal switch USB c ports don't fit comfortably.
