I made a mistake working on an HP Motherboard - Laptop no Fix.

[@ourfamilylife348]

I like your honesty when you make a mistake you admit it you don’t hide it behind camera honest people go a long way keep up the good work and God bless.

[@paying-for-freedom]

And that is one of the reasons I like this channel so much. He is extremely honest and doesn't edit out his mistakes from the videos.

[@jessenorris1672]

Mate, it's awesome that you are willing to share your experiences, failures, and triumphs. It shows that you are human, just like the rest of us. Love your videos and your work

[@Multihans]

Genau so sieht’s aus 👍 Weil es menschlich ist 😉

[@Erkanalpalp]

This time chip didn't fit like a glove but he is a honest person, he could cut the video and we can continue to think that he is not human while fixing something.

[@flicflac99]

Same thoughts here. I'm always excited when Alex releases a new video.

[@stvnseegal]

Exactly why I always watch the latest episodes the moment I wake up. Alex is just so good and honest about everything.

[@electro-fsrmx6981]

He can fake it but, The point where the ic marked would be visible. For the people who have good eyes they will noticed that he cut the video and rotated the ic or changed it.

[@worroSfOretsevraH]

Now you have 2 IC's to reball. :) Or maybe even 3. Probably the original one is still good.

[@archie6702]

Human. So mistakes are bound to happen, but nice thing is that you noticed it immediately and rectified. Kudos..

[@GsmMaleeSL]

Mistakes learn us more things

[@tejmar]

This is what I love about your videos, you show the mistakes and how you fix it

[@ranieriphoto]

This reminds me to be patient and attentive to what I’m doing, and not to get upset when things sometimes go wrong. Thank you!

[@Geniusinside2023]

When i see that NorthridgeFix is one of the most repliable repair shops nationwide, Makes me wonder why not all businesses let us see them work on our products, Brings a peace of mind and builds more trust with customers.

[@DD-zh3jj]

10:09 more shots like these please, it gives me so much perspective from other angles!

[@ruksanaaftab3292]

i like how study your hand is while handling chips. excellent

[@NicheAsQuiche]

It's insane. I do a little motherboard / GPU repair but my hand shakes everywhere, I often have to solder back on a resistor or cap I knocked off while soldering/desoldering something else. No way I could hold a chip with so many pins still long enough to reflow it

[@todormiroleskov8663]

Just love it when you go over the small dots under the chip with the small tip ☺️☺️☺️

[@robertrice6679]

I’m impressed that you just took ownership of mistake and corrected efficiently without a lot of criticism on yourself, true professional and honest technique!

[@NerutaGP]

This type of content make me happy, like me I know the feeling of helpless in terms of losing a device so it really help me in many ways when I'm watching your video, I've learn a lot from you.. keep up the good work and I'm looking forward for your future repair videos.

[@markharrisllb]

Instead of beating yourself up because you put an ic on the wrong way give yourself a pat on the back for noticing. When I was a chef my greatest mentor told me to accept I will make mistakes, but it’s how you react to those mistakes that matters. You didn’t try to reseat the same chip and hope to get away with it, you started again at the beginning. That makes me think if I lived in America I would bring my repairs to you, a man of integrity.

[@anthonybrown3829]

Just wanna say that I'm from Jamaica and I came across your videos maybe 2 weeks ago and I have learned so much i had some knowledge but you tought me so much I really appreciate your work hope God gives you the strength to keep doing what you do

[@sylvesteryaiuglig2470]

I find all your repair videos important especially for us beginners who just started learning. I've always wanted to start with a repair business in my area but I need people like you to support my back in the starting.

[@smachta]

I love the music of the pharase “and the short is gone” 😍 was a good repair try though 👍

[@ronniebrown8775]

Your only human! We all make them! Give yourself credit for catching it before thing got worse! Your a gifted person and I truly enjoy watching you diagnose and repair items that would probably end up in the trash! I learn something new every time I watch and use it myself at the bench! Im 71 years old and my hands are crippled from arthritis but I enjoy salving problems and making things work (BETTER THAN FACTORY) lol God bless and keep up the high standards you have set for yourself

[@clivewright7778]

No perfect human bro. U re a good person bro . Nuff respect 🙌

[@fraserc9768]

A mistake was made ….. we are all human :) At least you did not apply power before spotting that mistake. Excellent reflow work as always. I am so impressed by your steady hand and technique when working with these small BGA IC’s 👍👍👍

[@deniswauchope3788]

From 1968 until around 1995 I was an electronics tech, worked on a lot of tube stuff & then transistor stuff, but what you do here looks like black magic to me. The last big ICs I replaced had sockets! Good work, I'm fascinated!

[@jamesloll4601]

Even making mistakes... man you make soldering look like an art work! I can see why you get excited because you perfected to the nth degree through hundreds of hours of practice! Little chips, big chips... you got them all down! Now if you'll consistently remember what direction they go on the board! LOL. Just the same it's sweet seeing your work in progress.

[@Adam30_gamer]

One of my best parts it’s when you open your news things received, you are mis inspiration to continue with my fix shop.

[@mohammedfarid847]

It's absolutely amazing to see your positive approach towards the things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@ldonaldson780]

Don't get too down bro. we all make mistakes, That's what makes us human, maybe it's time to take a short break or a vacation, with the family. keep your head up you're One of the best in the business I've learned a lot from watching your videos, "PEACE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GOD BLESS"

[@gibbo4809]

Another fantastic video even though it was a no repair. just shows how we can all make mistakes. Thank you Alex.

[@pmyhill]

I love your honesty in the videos - you could've easily edited it out, just shows we're all human !

[@andrewstewart8704]

Hi Northridge fix, I hope you and the family are well :) I was looking for a mistake. and thought the writing was the wrong way around on that chip, took the video back and sure enough pin one was out before you said it. Love your videos even the no fix ones :)

[@tommy13t]

I didn’t spot it but I did notice you never said that this is PIN number 1. You always point out where pin 1 is and what direction it goes. And I feel your pain on time. Love your videos my friend.

[@fichambawelby2632]

Sorry for the wasted time...and for the chips. But always look at the right side of things: more and more experience!. Nice and clean job, as always.

[@nealschwartz9456]

i would not be too hard on yourself. Remember, you are trying to make a repair, talk to youtube and film at the same time. your success runs in the very high 90 percentile.Love your content.

[@AmirKhan-qx2lr]

I love that you share all the videos, the wins and the others. You can fix 100% of the items but its interesting to watch you try

[@XxSteelPhoenixX]

No worries, man. Always good to see someone doing the right thing, and even better that you saw it right away!

[@qaiser989]

It's always nice that you share your experiences sincerely, keep up the good work.

[@renderingrocks]

We need to slow down to go faster. It really is a valid statement. Not a big deal, we all goof up.I commend you for having such a positive attitude. With all the work you have (thank goodness in a way) it is easy to be overwhelmed and the stress that comes with that will cause us to make errors. Best wishes.

[@jalaluddin-po4qj]

mistakes maybe the root for the perfection . Rectify the mistake is important & you done it quite nicely. Thanks for professionalism

[@auradzrts691]

If I only live near your store or in the same country i will send my broken usb type c in my Sony Xperia phone to you to fix it. But I really liked what you guys are doing, the electronics prices are insane now and fixing it is much better than to throw it away and buy new gadgets. God bless you all...

[@tech_jims]

why not send it to them in the mail i sure they do take mail in repair jobs

Always a valuable lesson(s) te be had. You "are still" the MVP. Cheers from the W Coast

[@joepublic2894]

Hi ,please shoe us how you re-ball the chip,including the size of balls and how small they are compared to something that we all can see that is always a standard size on most boards.I think people would really like to see how hard it is when attempting to re-solder a chip like those.also show us the way ball locating masks are used if you could. I for 1 am always fascinated by the TALENT it takes to do something like that. I've been watching more and more of your videos,great work explaining the process.

[@twizz420]

the best tweezers are the ones that have a spring to keep them open. Also having locking needlenose forceps can help. Might buy some of that flux, I'm using the MG Chemicals no-clean flux and it is impossible to squeeze out without heating the tube with a heatgun first. If you try squeezing it out cold, it just pushes past the plunger and makes a big mess

Those are melted solder balls on pads, not holes.

[@papay9757]

why not satisfy, that holes is for jumper line to another layer inside PCB, not for joint of soldering.

I spotted it but only because the title alerted me to look out for a mistake. I noticed the writing on the chip had moved, I was sincerely hoping you had simply repositioned the PCB. I make mistakes like that all the time but my work is EZ PEASY compared to this. :)

[@islandwills2778]

I was able to spot it, or rather i have the knowledge to know what you were doing was wrong.... but i did not notice it till you mentioned it. But hey its a mistake anyone could make. Once while i was handmaking a batch of pcbs that were essentially just intended as display boards i installed the leds on backwards for the entire batch. About 500 boards with three leds each... Another time and i installed the completely wrong timing crystal on about 20 units. Fun times.
