Thanks for posting your repairs. Just from watching you solder and troubleshoot devices has inspired me. Fixed my Microphone amp, LED TV, PAR light meter. This has saved me hundreds of dollars. Watching you solder has shown me how to solder much better. With that said, I am not as good as you but the more I solder, the better I get. I have order the low melt and the solder wick from you. Thanks for quick shipping.

Love your job! I do it as a hobby. The problem here in Argentina is that you can't find donor boards or buy products like amtech flux in a cheap way. Also is not easy to find chips to replace. Is a beautiful job. Keep it up. And don't waste your time with bad opinions. So far by watch your videos is easy to see that you're honest with your work.

[@trilexfix]

i bought most of my donor boards online

[@FixationwithCarnage]

its amazing how clear that tiny mic is!

[@ltitus8900]

OK, I had to redo my previous comment because......I just got my order of tweezers, needle tip bottles and flux. Firstly, you can tell immediately that it is real flux. Don't ask questions. You will immediately know. The bottles are perfect and are exactly what I needed. The tweezers. I may be a nerd but I am very picky with my tweezers because they take the most beating and do the most precise work. Your tweezers (Qianli Precision Tweezers bent and straight) and they are extremely light and strong. When I saw the tip I thought man, it might bend. Nope. If you bend them, you did something wrong. either by mistake or bad technique. Thank you very much. Can't wait to try them out on the PS5.

[@Cin4n]

As an Electronics engineer, I enjoy your videos.

[@kimlang491]

I see a man happy and proud of his work eliciting enjoying it while at the same time sharing his insight and experiences with others. Good on you mate. Like seeing videos like this.

[@balenaluba4215]

I solder as a hobby, on stuff like failed LED bulbs(I managed to repair a few :D) and other simple stuff, not laptops and phones, and that brush with one end with normal hairs and one end with steel hairs is an awesome tool I didn't know I needed! It's so easy when you clean and the normal brush isn't quite cutting it to just *_(whoop)_* flip the brush and you have a steel sponge!

[@balenaluba4215]

@TTgamer OP I can't find the brush on his store though, could you give me a link?

I’ve learned more from your program than I did in school. Clearly all negative reviews you get are from either jealous morons or just plain old stupid people. You do a great job and actually have clear pride in what you do. Ty for your time and knowledge.

[@magdcs]

Any video that starts with a man combing his hair has got to be awesome. You got a new subscriber.

[@mikengo9306]

It's always that satisfaction when the device can turn it. It felt like a puzzle being solved. Great video. Make more of these please, with highlights of component failure.

[@pr0xZen]

Another big reason to use diffwrent syringes for flux (and paste), is that _the pistons_ that come in factory 10 and 30cc syringes, do not typically have _catches._ so they csn only use floating (no physical connection to the piston) plungers. That means you can't use plungers that _hook into_ the piston, which means you cannot pull on the plunger to relieve pressure from the compression of the piston, to prevent/stop oozing. When doing microsoldering work, especially if on a board you don't want to or cannot remove from its housing/machine, you want as much control of flux or paste volume as possible. You also don't want oozing syringes constantly messing up your work area with flux or solder paste. Funy enough, I did buy some good quality but fake 10cc syringes of amtech flux a couple of years ago, and ended up buying like 10 of them. Because they had pistons with catches and came with hook-in plungers, so I could pull on the piston.

[@BeesCantSwim]

I like how you are happy and proud of yourself when you fix something. Don't change.

[@DatKarl]

What I've been doing is 3D Printing my own plungers! Always made to fit :) You should probably do that to reduce cost and risk of customers like that when swapping with empty syringes. Plus you can brand your own plungers!

[@stephenhood2948]

I can say this, the solder wicks we use at work fray up on the ends very badly, with just minimal use. We arent using them on flat PCBs, usually, we are soldering camera wires onto USBs, but that solder wick you are using looks like a much higher quality than the stuff we are using.

Hit like for the absolute discipline of drinking the tea while it's still at least warm 👍👍

[@dodgydruid]

I grow my own tea, dogmint and some peppermint adding in imported Greek spearmint freshly chopped into fine leaves and some gunpowder tea makes the best moroccan mint. If I wants a wake me up, hot black Assam with a treble slug o' navy rum but not if you are driving or handling heavy equipment, black Assam mixes well with spearmint leaves and sometimes I add a dash of licorice stick for when I am driving or handling heavy equipment :D Am one of the few that knows the magic of making a cup of "Sergeant Majors" tea, really really unhealthy if you don't work it off but it involves a full pound of best black tea leaves, a quart tin of evaporated milk, boil the milk with the tea leaves until it starts to go a coppery colour, off the boil, add some sugar, tip it into a tea urn and top up to the brim with boiling water. It is the old and better version of today's energy drink, you could march 20 miles off the energy of that tea, have another pint mug full and do another 20 miles hence why its called "sgt majors" as nothing short of the RSM could get you awake, alert and willing to hard march 20 miles than the tea itself. If cold weather, a pint of navy rum went into it too :D (proper navy rum isn't that soppy 37% stuff you get in supermarkets, 57% proof stuff like Woods 100)

[@jameswashington749]

It is always amazing to see you work. It's always nice to see how happy it makes you when the device turns on after the fix :) I am curious. What is your favourite tea? :)

[@Clarkarty]

As your supply of flux comes without syringe plungers that you have to provide to then ship out, would it make more sense and far less plastic waste to have your supplier provide the flux to you in recyclable containers instead of throw away syringes. Just seems a shame, that once empty, each syringe is potentially thrown away when It could perhaps instead be refilled. Just a thought. I have learnt so much since I found your work, thank you from Colin the UK.

[@armchairtin-kicker503]

Lunched in March 2015, these HP Spectre x360 seemed to be plagued with problems judging from the number of vlogs you done on these devices, Alex. In contrast, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T530, a laptop purchased in August 2012 that has only had a Wi-Fi problem. Having had memory and solid state storage upgrades and a couple of keyboard replacements, it is still my everyday laptop 10-years later. That stated, I do have a Lenovo ThinkPad P1 GEN for my electronics repair business, a laptop purchased to drive a 43" UHD (3480 x 2160) display.
