Your face when you saw the board was just the funniest....fingers tapping on the desk...brilliant.

[@regisribeiro]

it couldn't be different don't you think? 😄

[@ACOnetwork]

Yep, I agree 😁

Hahahaha

[@kalentonggaming7093]

I think the one who repaired that is from a welder shop. 🤣🤣

[@tobiasmangoma9566]

😂😂😂You may say that again. The advice was we need must practice on dead motherboards but I think are not good students

[@thomas_157]

me too

[@LOK3NDRAN]

lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@derecktv7123]

Lol

[@SiETechNotebookReparatur]

Pin one is solid, pin two is solid, all pins are solid. I see no problems... 🤔😜

[@Gamersls]

😂😂😂

[@srikanthpp87]

😀😀Ya all pins solid

[@michaelmarcoux3653]

Actually, only *one* pin is solid

[@corvettebob96]

The jumper wire looked decent too.....

[@mkvermasarol]

Everything is good

[@TheCod3r]

Ok this has to be a meme, the customer was skilled enough to install a jumper wire so they definitely know how a port should be soldered on 🤣

[@Ciakuz]

I'm pretty sure these were the remains of the torn trace.

[@Mommotexx]

Maybe they didn't have a hot enough soldering station 😂

[@PIIOENIX]

Not the first time I've seen this type of repair attempt, but man, I love your reaction and look of amusement into thr camera 😆. Well done!

[@em0_tion]

0:15 Your face had me dying 🤣

[@rasheed3039]

I never get bored of your videos 👍🏼

[@muffinvapes]

not gonna lie i was extremely impressed by how professional you are adding solder mask to the wire. its really the little things that separate you from the rest

[@mateijordache1952]

it's not solder mask it's just uv glue to prevent it from moving and breaking or shorting something else

[@smilemore209]

DUDE THIS WAS VERY FUNNY , You really get some crazy repairs there xD Keep up the good work!

[@corvettebob96]

lol, I am very proud of you for not going on a raging rant about the single solder joint. The silent smirk made me laugh. You were very professional. Two thumbs up. Thanks for the video. I am having issues with new solder equipment. I get similar results as what came into your shop. I am new at micro soldering as a hobby and am practicing on scrap boards. You make it look so easy when you get solder on the tip of iron and roll the glob over the pads. You mentioned when the tip is bad, the solder won't stick to the tip and runs away from the tip. I thought it was because the iron was too hot. I have barely used any of these tips and now wondering if I ruined them by getting them too hot... I am going to keep practicing.

[@kelvinkatongo1430]

Great work man...looking foward to see more

[@bobajaj4224]

IDK why, but your videos are addictive...

[@marks_view1486]

I do enjoy watching your video's. Brightens up the day.

[@dracus6877]

The prior fix looks like they did a really good job!

[@edmarreyes292]

I like your facial expression the moment you see how the hdmi pins soldered into the board (with tapping on the table )😁😁

[@user-ro9ov4of2n]

I laugh with voice. My girlfriend asked me what's going on and why I am laughing so loud :D I am a newbie in microsoldering but when I saw this "all in one" solution it was really funny :D

[@wandihaura3999]

I'm always love it everything that you'r done sir, thank you for knowledge and entertaining

[@dougtaylor7724]

I love the “check this work out” look at the beginning. That was funny!

[@101SynTec]

The person who tried to fix this, don't quit your day job.

[@pablo-tr5jm]

Quit your day job. Try harder.

[@ericpode6095]

This was his day job, no one said he was any good at it!

[@carlwillows]

Hope he was watching

[@damon7845]

Maybe dont pick something so intricate as your first solder attempt. Keep practicing.

[@1hjehje]

A nice repair. I was wondering for a while if the board was going to work because of its other issues. For certain boards I'm wondering if it would be helpful to have a picture of a "known good" board for reference purposes. That way you could refer to the picture if you suspect that a component is missing on a board that you are working on. Thanks for the video.

[@knightwar3]

That's what happened to me when i first started soldering, i used a cheap flux with a big conical tip soldering iron and the result was always a bridge like this one :) So a good flux and the right tip size play a big difference when doing micro soldering

[@walterkovacs61]

"You need practice" Man you are so gentle, I would have become Gordon Ramsay right there

[@vishwajeet08]

Awesome work !!! neat, clean and perfect

[@atekanbarut]

You are really perfectly successful at this works. Thanks for sharing. İ'm learning many things in this kind of videos. Wish 2 c u soon. Good luck.

[@imnotdon3765]

The look on your face while you were thinking of something nice to say... Good job!

[@cererec9766]

I watch your vids always. You inspire me 🙂

[@macrepairphoenix]

Amazing job as always!

[@kollerd31]

Amazing soldering skills!! Great videos

[@Mommotexx]

He need practice I agree. And yes, you are missing some components on the other side. You are missing a capacitor near the diode. I can desolder one and give you the correct value if you need that. Great wok as usual. Keep up the good work!

[@CRIMSONDANTE]

He said: He need practice I said: He need common sense

[@eclipsemn8806]

Common sense is a punishment because you have to deal with those who don't have it 🙃

[@raidone7413]

It's not common sense. Most people never learn to solder

[@eclipsemn8806]

@@raidone7413 Truuuue... But common sense would be realizing they don't know what they're doing. Or just look at the ports or something with pins around that one to see what they're supposed to look like. Realistically we'll never know why, I thought it was funny. I still sighed deeply though but still funny.

[@sj55]

Another great fix 👍

[@mymessylab]

“HDMI installed correctly”. Sure pretty solid😄😄

[@navorski7660]

That look on your face when you see that they welded the hdmi on the board. 😂At least it won't go anywhere right 😂😂😂😂

[@melvinpervis6678]

Thanks for the videos man

[@zaprodk]

The "wire" seemed to be the actual track who was lifted clean off the board :D

[@Gunzee]

I'm a novice but that looked like a good job, good solid connection.

[@Asiantravellersanju]

Hha haa job is done and its work When he completes work and laughs as he its get stisfied by his work. I dnt have such technician near me. Love feom kerala india 🥰🥰

[@yoloswag4204lyfe]

Nice work. I find that using too much flux on these though is problematic as the residue often seeps back into the inside of the port causing the hdmi signal to not be recognized again. Cleaning it with alcohol just dilutes it and make sit seep into the port faster. I use less flux now and wipe what's left off with a dry q-tip. Works well!

[@talinadhpadal8168]

I thought he is really looking at me and smiling lol😂😂😂

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job and video

[@whty541]

hahahah I almost lost it when you showed all the pins together.

I have a question how do you get the solder to stick on the soldering iron mine always run off when it touches the iron

[@sandroz321]

Soldering skill over 100+

[@blackdotkiller1]

that is not soldering that is called Welding normally seen on steel structures : )😁😁

[@Xindak]

Your smile when you see this solder bloob :D

[@AntonioWengratt]

All the pins are making good connection

[@yebbo00]

What solder wick do you use an what tip?... I have many come to me like this but always have hard time wicking off access solder.. what’s the best combination? Do I add low melt and add a bigger hotter tip with the wick or does that face pulling pads ?. Thanks

[@arlenzuniga3365]

Question for you, I bought a iPhone XS Max from a friends for $40 that had the back glass and front screen broken. I repaired it to give me something new to do but I tested the camera and it looks foggy. I tried cleaning it and blowing compressed air into camera lens and cleaning the glass lens as well. Any advise?

[@fireandwater08]

Good colleague, I came to the workshop with a similar problem, but with all the tracks skipped. I could make a schematic to know where to solder each pin. Thank you in advance. 

[@TechTee504]

Is there a way to test the HDMI port with a multimeter to verify if that is indeed the issue?? I have a client that isn't getting picture but I wanna be certain before I just go replacing parts.

[@jazminrincon7050]

A cuánta temperatura pones el cautín cuando usas la maya desoldadora

[@ShR33k]

Although my soldering skills are better then the person who attempted to repair that board initially, I myself have totally ruined a PS4 board doing a bad HDMI repair. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of "low melt" solder and watched other KZbinr repairers (guessing also not aware of low melt solder?) putting the board in an oven for a brief amount of time to heat the board up. Also confusing messages from other repairers saying that "heat" destroys boards so low heat and build up the temperature... Well - on the 3rd attempt of trying to align the HDMI connecter and basically getting it right on that attempt - unfortunately the pads started to lift and many got destroyed. Its currently sat under my desk waiting for me to either throw the PS4 away, or build up courage to try again and attempt to fix the missing traces. I have also messed up an XBox One HDMI re-timer chip which I tried to repair around the same time so many of the same bad techniques were used. Never had experience with a QFN chip before and it threw me a curve ball... trying to align that up again on a heat sulking ground plate board was a nightmare. Again, oven came into use - but proved useless. Many tracks for the re-timer chip lifted. I've learnt my lesson - no oven, and low melt solder, & high heat (short amount of time).

[@tamimtmm6]

Could you please tell me, what are the liquids that you used? Actually i am going to do the same job. I have soldering grease and soldering tin.

im always watching your videos

[@stefanlechner]

What the hell???? Whats going on here? They way you look😂😂 Its really funny what you get at the shop. And i bet you see much more crazy things everyday. I bet this person used a leadfree solder. But you fixed it perfectly👍

[@alexandruit9416]

Hello i have a question, what are you using to izolate the bridge made wit a wire between HDMI port and the tranzistor? i wait for an answer. BRGDS

[@thomasfrancois2552]

Incredible...

[@LeeMooEez]

How long should we shine uv light toward that uv mask? Tq 😍🙏🏻

[@GrzegorzCiekotdzieju]

If i solder HDMI from ps4 to ps4 slim and is aligment little to right it will be problem if i correct this aligment ? its will be working ? or the pin on hdmi port is different to ?

[@rifatahmed4659]

Assalamualaikum brother. What type of microscope light do you use to get rid of the glare ??

[@aramxaylani]

hello what is the different between PS4 slim and PS4 i mean of the motherboards

[@TheSkipperVideos]

Great job. How long did the repair take?

[@Keythong]

It looks like the customer has used a 1 inch wide tip on his port.

[@rasmadrak]

Haha!

[@ivandelmaschio6189]

a question..... my ps4 only works at 480p... any other resolution gives no signal..... idea of what I could be ...

Am I using the wrong rosin? I have my iron set to 860 and I have never had solder wick away that easy. If it wicked that easy, I'd be so much better at *one more thing*. I'm really new to this, I might have crappy equipment.

[@PrivateEvans]

What type and size wire are you using for your jumper wires? Are they insulated or just plain copper?
