I really enjoy watching your 'real time' videos rather than condensed shorts. Watching you solder / desolder and replace components in real time gives the viewer a better understanding and appreciation of what you do. A 'short' video although well edited and entertaining does not have the same gravitas and fails to show your skills off fully.

[@alexyscordova9844]

I am a manager at a repair shop and have run into multiple 4XL with the same issue every day. It is actually a faulty battery that causes the issue. New battery and cowling with wider rubber pad will fix the question mark on battery. Google also has an extended warranty on the 4xl for this issue.

[@fuckenoathcunt4230]

Their warranty is bogus. Refuses phones with cracks and scratches. They do anything to not take responsibility

[@xamaran26]

Hi Man, i need to repair muy cellphone where ir located your store?

[@nothingsclearmgl6639]

hello i bought my google pixel , supposed to be new and this started after a few drops , does it means that the battery was a faulty one ? i took it to the repair shop and they said the battery should be replaced , can i trust them ? because i wondered if this can't be related to the battery connector

[@alexyscordova9844]

@@nothingsclearmgl6639 Yes it can be related to the battery, or the connector on the motherboard.

[@rickjforbes]

I can't get over how shocking Google are with issues they cause

[@Clarkarty]

Your end music has changed, it was so you and your channel. People in the past have commented as to how upbeat it was. I just living in the UK, have learnt so much from not only soldering, but also understanding electronic components! I just find your videos so fascinating. I used to paint miniature paintings, it was intense, hard work but rewarding. The work you do on such a small scale, is amazing.

[@shanchya]

it is always great to see the professional in work .... superb job chief :)

[@chrisbowring4298]

[@DiJAndy]

Great job Alex! I hope that you got that video card repaired for this customer also 😊 Have nice day

[@robertpage2023]

The aluminum shielding was a good technique Sir. I know that when you are that close to other soldered parts and using a heat gun, you have to keep the board level and horizontal until the solder is cooled so the other parts don't slip off. Wondered about that computer that came in last week that you didn't get completely fixed yet. How did that go Sir? What amazes me is that fact that you never seem to back away from a challenge. You do what others only dream of....................................

[@mpjohns]

I love Alex’s videos. They do seem to be getting shorter and directly to the point. I remember once he told us about being a car salesman and that was entertaining and informative.

[@BudLarsenjr]

Short and sweet!

It is so relaxing to see you work

[@theRealkuds8549]

Perfect as always, Thanks again Alex 👍👍👍

[@KaroKhatchadoorian]

As much as I do my own repairs. I also have a good soldering iron with a hot air station and do repairs very similar to the types of repairs that you do. I also troubleshoot circuits just like you do. However it always amazes me to watch your videos. And I hope one day something breaks that I own that I am unable to fix that I can send your way. Trust me you will be the first person I ship something to. Or better yet being that I am from Central California I might as well just drive over and see you in person. Great job thanks for the video

[@theowlsofouterheaven]

I'm confused on the repair. What will I need to do to repair my connector? Did you just use heat to melt the solder to get better connector to the motherboard? My 4xl finally died and won't turn on at all. Flashes a "?" And shuts off. I'm desperate to fix it myself as google won't honor it due to a crack in my back glass.

[@deluxeit]

What temperature and airflow volume were you using? I’d love to know.

[@NatureQuest2024]

I was going to ask the same question! Amazing repair job

[@ps5gamepl4ys]

same question here, temp & airflow

[@vlastimilschindler3643]

The same question here: temp & airflow and what about the solder? Is it the low heat one?

[@shqiponjagv]

I have heard him saying that he uses MAX temperature (450 up to 480 degree celsius) when disoldering and soldering components. Well it depends as well how thick is the mother board. He controlls the temperature by going up and down obove the component that he is working on, for example when he needs more temperature he goes closer to the component and so on...

[@ShermanMR2]

@@shqiponjagv I’m assuming that you’re talking about Celsius. At almost 900°F on the high end that’s very hot. In this video at that temperature it would very quickly melt the plastic on that connector and that’s obviously not what we see here. That being said I’m not buying that he’s at that high of temperature.

[@AtulGupta-xz9tx]

Hi I have the same problem, how much do you charge for this, how do I arrange a repair?

[@RecklessDesigns]

How much did this repair run? I'm local to you guys and my 4 XL is having the same issue. Battery questionmark and I dropped it and now it won't boot at all.

[@tiwagchronicles2789]

Please help me. I'm using HP ellitebook 2570p i7 3rd gen. It takes time to boot and if does not I will repeat the process, turn off the laptop, disconnect the AC adapter and disconnect the ram. In many case it will not boot until 10 minutes. But sometimes it boots, when it boots, no display but it has some lights on and I heard the fan spinning fast. No display after all but does have a "power". However there some case it is good and not having a problem at all , im just wondering? Another thing I noticed is every time I install a new program It won't let me "restart" my laptop. I should restart my laptop after installing a program because it must. Then it will not restart, not powering on after in cmd: "shutdown/r" or by manually restart, just directly shutdown, like wtf is the problem?

[@charlesmottern5194]

I hope you get around to fixing my laptop soon. I miss it lol. Asus Zephyrus gu502gv-ah76

[@joxu96]

I love your videos! One question, what is the trick so that when using the hot air, all the other components that are nearby do not fly away? My hot air machine can control the air speed and temperature with two potentiometers (from 1 to 5) but when I put in enough air to desolder the component I want, the rest of the nearby components fly off! thank you very much for your videos!

[@CiderPang27]

Too much heat, too much wind and holding heat on too long. Always try and point heat away from other components if you can. Also use kapton tape or foil as in the video. Oh and practice on an old board. Good luck.

[@simonerachele6231]

Maybe lower the air flow and go closer with the nozzle? Maybe you could also use a larger nozzle with lower air flow

I have pixel 4xl and i actually had the same issue with it... So i visited nearest repairing shop and he said i don't have its parts but i can connect the battery by jumper wire directly to power source.... He did something worse on it... Now it is just showing the logo and then power gets off.... I visited another repairing shop.... He analyzed and said it's BSI (BATTERY SAVING INTERFACE) is having issue.... Can you please suggest the solution?

[@ronlevin2339]

How much time it took in real time ?

[@ukaszs5021]

👍

[@Pinacoladaasdas]

How come the FPC connector (plastic) doesn't melt when you blow hot air on it?

[@JoshuaG]

Temperature isn't hot enough to cause a melt , but enough to soften the metal joints lead of the connector. i guess.

[@csgultekin]

he removed the unleaded solder first, then cleaned up the pads. I am guessing he used low melt solder (rosin's metal) or leaded solder on the pads, so that the pads will be soldered before the plastic melts.

[@Ganara.Service]

everything just look so easy in your hand😂
