The board with one tooth is called old chomper 🤣

[@davidguillory4311]

😆😂🤣

[@amldesh]

kainda wanna watch that thing getting fixed...

[@mustangthearpy]

Or Snaggletooth!

[@Tyiriel]

The last padurai

[@stevee7774]

Haha, Snagglepuss

[@bryanch3549]

You make this look so easy but I know for a fact this is hard to do well. I don't do this kind of work or as a hobby. I just like watching a master at work. Thank you for taking time to demonstrate, educate and entertain us.

[@imqqmi]

Lesson learned: It's not only good to have a backup of your data, but also to have a backup soldering tip! Keep up the great work!

[@danielauto3767]

Why can't I stop watching your videos? I don't own a repair shop or anything like that. But I enjoy watching your care, attention, and dedication to the job. Big boss must be happy.

[@duplicitousdemocracy2246]

It's not just your expertise and knowledge, your narration can be highly amusing too.

[@fraenkiboii]

Alex, I watch your videos while eating breakfast. When you upload them its morning here in Germany. It's the best start of the day. Thank you!

[@oneandonlytyler1]

same for me in wales uk

[@fraenkiboii]

@Repair Wins Greetings! :)

[@MrSlaxPants]

You know what I can appreciate about the work you do...? You clean your boards.

[@djspidey7235]

With the nice work you doing, customers is gonna flow through your door.....more than that solder is flowing through the board. Excellent work Alex.

[@electronics_hobbyist]

You're quite an honest person, that's why you'll always be successful in what you do, some people won't be so honest to tell a person that buying something will be cheaper than fixing, as in the case with the woman with the printer that you told her it'll be cheaper to buy one than to fix, hats off to u brother with your honestly and you will reach to great heights and beyond 😉 keep up the great work you do....all the way from Trinidad here 🇹🇹

[@darnellreyes571]

buddy take my advice go pc bro this advice from a nother trinidadian 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹😋😋😋😋

[@trilexfix]

honesty is a double edge sword customers can hate you if you are also too honest

[@SiNHSPiRa]

13:38 Is the most perfect example on how important is to use the proper soldering tip. With the help of hot air one can see how the solder ball gets smaller as it flows to the other side. Great work as usual and keep up with the videos. Cheers from Munich!

[@Jezebel_Cat]

I work for a Swiss machine tool manufacturer. I started to use we fix it when I actually fixed their problem. My customers now really value my services. So thanks to you!

[@neilcooper5549]

I watch your work and I’m so inspired, I’m 47 and have limited knowledge but I’m so interested in what you do and how well you do the work ,wish I would of learned all those skills at a early age , keep up the good work I really enjoy watching your repairs.

[@MexicaliBenchmark]

You can still learn!, don't give up.

[@neilcooper5549]

Thanyou just wish I knew someone local who I could learn from but I’m so wanting to learn I’ve always found it interesting 😀

[@bruceestrela]

You can do it! The first thing is to get broken boards to practice soldering. PLEASE do not try on good devices. Practice first

[@Sloxx701]

I'm also 47 and I started teaching myself SMD soldering a couple years ago, it's just practice is all. Now I repair pretty much everything, from PS5 HDMI port replacements to Nintendo switches to laptops and TVs. Never too old

[@davidguillory4311]

I love watching all your videos within the past few years now. You have help a lot of people to be educated and repairing the right way when someone does it the wrong way. I want to say, Thank you." 💞

[@samjackaman1928]

I know customers like to “have a go” and tend to make a complete mess of things, but to give this customer credit, they had a go, but knew when they were out of their depth and sent it to the pros before they did some real damge.👌

[@sys2]

Its good to have videos from when you were not as good as you are today, it shows people that it takes time to learn stuff and they wont be as heart broken when they fail to start with =)

[@charlesmawale9114]

It's so fun watching at the same time learning... I like your stories and your skills

[@PK01234]

Anti flare is big improvement - looks good Alex.. great segment.

[@brunobarks6544]

I know nothing about electronics repair but I find it fascinating and as I got along in starting to learn a lot. Thank you 👍

[@NoxusGr01]

It's unbelievable how someone is able to do such damage in one shot... I recently got in SMD microsoldering and while It's really a matter of practice, skill and technique (and equipment) even in my very first attempts I was clearly aware when I was on the brink of damaging the board or components... Well, guess we have another Hiroshima! 😅😂 Keep up the awesome job with the channel and thanks for every bit of knowledge you share with us! It really means a lot!

[@dracula3796]

I am Not a Elektroniker but i love watching your Videos. Always watch from Start to End💪💪💪

[@johnr3435]

Hi Zardok here from the 9th dimension. Good news! I found the large tip from your soldering iron. I put it on the pile with all the other things you send me. One day I will find out how to return them to you.

[@Androx74]

Nice repair has always, and thank you to big boss for the re-assembly job too.

[@dannyhartline2648]

So did I … and was very impressed with your promptness and honesty! Thank you very much.

[@hadibq]

Alex, you're so right to show the world the quality of your work. it deserves lot of success and leads other businesses to adopt this standard! so TY!

[@mmowoa]

"DO NOT USE LOW MELT SOLDER FOR ANYTHING. YOU USE IT TO DESOLDER, AND NOT TO SOLDER" That's the line. Thanks bro Alex. Bless!

[@stefanlechner]

Amazing, really amazing work. Your videos with a cup of coffee is the best combination after my own work. Very good to relax and enjoy. Thank you, greets

[@richardbell6045]

Better than Factory is Excellent answer, Awesome Alex

[@zeetroyman]

i work with Satellites for TV broadcasting and the servers that pull in the data, but the work you do brother is amazing!! im a software / systems configs guy, but love watching your vids.. great work

[@Jacobt844]

First seeing the connector I thought jeez you do a much better job then whoever else previously worked on it

[@dallanc5199]

Awesome and interesting as always. You should put a dime or quarter on a mother board to show just how small these components are relative to that. Your technical skills are top notch.

[@hasanmahmood30]

it's so interesting to watch one teeth(pad) repair. bro, I love ur job. God bless u....

[@blackknight50277621]

Never stop what you do Alex I've learned so much from you in the last year

[@GabrielePresicci]

It'd be awesome if there was a tool that would take a photo at job done so that each customer could witness your godly skill, but I guess your videos are enough :D. Keep it up Alex

[@JoJoDaFox]

Can't tell you how much watching makes me smile and laugh AWESOME JOB as ALWAYS SIR.... Keep up the QUALITY WORK ! ! !

[@Atreta]

Solid advice from your wife, looking at the older videos you can tell how better you and your channel became. I do the same with my first astro imaging.

[@DavidLeeMenefee]

I pray that you find a nice BIG beautiful home for and your family.

[@rheography]

love your honesty to people, i practice the same principle. i also agreed with your wife, keep the old videos, im one of the person who learned from those videos (especially the iron tips video), i even went as far as benting one my tip just like the one you drop but it makes it sooo much easier. =)

[@jamesballock1768]

It's always a pleasure to see a Master craftsman at the bench.

[@X40-p7i]

Just found your channel!! You are amazing!! A true master of his craft..

[@dexternengomasha7579]

Am not happy. You left one statement- Big boss is the man😁

[@ruthmoreton6975]

I think the reason that the number of prior repair attempts has shot up is because of videos like this inspiring people to try a self repair ( or set up their own business) and then finding themselves out of their depth. I soldered fine pitch components in a factory and I am hesitant to attempt board repairs myself as it's so easy to rip a trace or swipe a microscopic component away. I still think people should keep posting repair videos though. I found the iPad Pro 10.5 video really interesting with it's defective inductors that just fall off the board. Disclaimer: I only ever try to repair my own stuff and so far I have been successful ( except for one google pixel 4 where I just can't get hold of a replacement lower coax)

[@valkasolidor6727]

We'll miss you big boss! Safe travels sir.

[@alexandreviguie9635]

Yes please, a new video as the old one, with new equipment as you said would be nice!

[@CrashnServers]

Ooh I borrowed the large tip. It's here with me and hurricane Ian 🌀 ♥️

[@michaelblack5011]

amazing work ,does not matter what tip are you using is better that factory

[@4eversr]

At 8:57 when you "hot air" the small capacitor the big capacitor further away did unsolder and did a jump. After that jump the one leg of the big capacitor seems a bit loose / not properly soldered anymore. - But in the end the ps5 did work, so it seems fine. - Edit: Ah, i see at 9:44 it is fixed and the big capacitor jumped back to the state "properly soldered". ;)

[@lucymc0191]

SOLID Alex ..i was creased up with laughter about the tooth ....but the second connector was terrible no pads at all should be charged double for your work .. say bye to BIG BOSS we will miss him ......

[@keiths8700]

Safe travels for uncle Big Boss. Nothing like being able to work with family and how much you actual need them when they're not around.

[@mujahidtoor1255]

Good work done, I wish you the best Alex

[@androidtech698]

Love❤️from india...i learning your technic and apply on my mobile repairing work. Thanks

[@jme36053]

You just answered my question(s) about the practical uses of low-melt solder. I know my limitations and micro-electronics repair is one I will not attempt.

[@evionlast]

Really smooth soldiering

[@italianjob-vx6hp]

That soldering of the pins is gorgeous!!!!!

[@thanosnik1068]

You didn't say "Thank you Big Boss" (that's so respectful) 🤣

[@JohnSmith-bv1jg]

I'm watching this video for the first time after having watched the video where he finds the tip in the box of boards, I'm sitting here yelling "it's in the box Alex! It's in the box!!" Everytime he brings it up 🤣🤣🤣

[@KM-kl2wu]

This guy was the GOAT dude better than factory love it

[@davidlguerr]

Where I live people want to fix printers because they want you to work for nothing, like charging 15 bucks to fix it. And if you tell them that it is better to buy a new printer, they will not like it. A different mindset.

[@T200026]

It's like a person that doesn't have any teeth 🤣 your comments crack me up, great video Alex . All the best from the UK

[@diztrogamingyt1769]

Big Boss is my favourite 🥰 another better than factory repair bro keep going ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joshcruz1122]

Look at the smile on big boss face at the end

[@dave7010]

backing up also means backing up certain tools. always have a replacement big tip at hand. 👍

[@Tegatreides]

Alex giving birth to a desire to fix things in all of us... Alex scolding us cause we destroy things... Alex getting filled up with work from his screw-it-all viewers. U can't have it both ways Alex. lmao. thank you for the content.

[@nabilrachak5773]

Thousands of likes brother , you're the best, perfect job ❤❤❤

[@Xindak]

This part about xbox connector, made my day 😂😂😂😂

[@tecnogof]

I have 5 teeth left, your description of how I use them is spot on. Lol!

[@Bulbachar]

Sorry but I had a good laugh when you showed the Xbox board and said that they "made sure to rip every pad off".🤣

[@ISquishWorms]

Lol who needs pads? I have Alex as a backup plan. 🤣

[@custume]

I have learn that when you are looking for something, and you need that something you will not find it, but when you stop needing it you will find it

[@rafaelpineda1667]

Nice work, "better than factory" must be a trademark.

[@onyourkilllist6880]

*_Your tip is now parting in the 9th dimension with the missing sock from the dryer, and the Tupperware container without a lid!_*

[@ErditCironaku]

Hello Alex, I have followed you for so many long, watching almost every of your video. I know you are a very reasonable person and I am glad everything is going the proper way for you. Also, we know you have a lot of respect for BigBoss but don't forget there are more than a million people in your area at least, give the man some rest he for sure deserves :). So sooner or later you have to find someone helping you out at least staring at disassembly. Greetings from Albania 😄

[@rentebikehinterzarten3611]

Alex!!!!!...... You did an amazing job!

[@beto12345]

Mmmm tip in 9th dim? WOW that's odd. Hope you find it. You keep making this kind of fix easy.

[@gcfixitc9283]

Thanks!

[@chucksanders7131]

I feel your pain talking to the public :P Preach brother, preach :)

[@hkoueke]

You did not thank big boss as usual 😔 Watching you from Cameroon. I don't miss any of your videos. Keep up!

[@playerraxis]

Awesome work as always better then factory 🖒 thanks to your videos I have a better understanding and confident to take on a 0402 resistor soldering job 😥

[@a.j.haverkamp4023]

That HDMI connector on that PS5 main bord looks so clean after you replaced it.

[@HanCurunyr]

TBH, after watching a lot of videos of you and another eletronics repair youtubers, I got quite fond of you guys saying "solid" for every pad

[@a.p.3439]

So what we have learned from this video: 1. Make sure you rip off every single pad before you send it in to Alex! 2. Even if it's not better than factory, it is better than factory! :D

[@gregoryaul2005]

Lol alax loved the multi purpose joint 🤗🤗🤗

[@alphabeets]

The other tip is in the ninth dimension. But don’t go looking for it there!

[@nenadpera1]

perfection alien technology you're a king

[@baseballthird13]

man i love right fix things video learn alot myself when i do work myself

[@pashko90]

Alex, if you missing a tip in case like that you can use a "bottom heater" to heat up steel part of the connector to small tem's, like 80-100 degree Celsius.

[@oneandonlytyler1]

i disagree,exposing the whole board to heat when you doing a hdmi is abit excessive as you could damage other parts of the board,all he needed was a bigger tip

[@pashko90]

@@oneandonlytyler1 If you are watched a video, you might know what he lost it. Not necessary to heat up whole board, it's possible to do with a small bottom heat, like 2*2 cm or 5*5cm modules. They literally costs few dollars on Ali. Nothing will gonna get bad if you will heat it up a bit, nobody asking you to heat up whole board to 250-350 degree Celsius.

[@MrPruske]

@@oneandonlytyler1 localized in general heating under a PCB is standard in a lot of board repair so that you don't have to overheat the top and surrounding components.

[@oneandonlytyler1]

@@MrPruske mabe so .but its more shit to get in the way.did or did not alex do it without a board heater?i rest my case.....boards can split/crack under the main gpu and other components .why heat the board when you can use a bigger tip .....its a no brainer.also if the board was on a heater other components near the hdmi would have their solder liquify easyier sending them to the 9th dimention.again when the job can be done with a soldering iron with a bigger tip whats the deal.always someone trying to sound pro around here.haters gone hate

[@ljumuso]

"I know it is confusing, but what can you do?" i love this statement

Make an updated video on soldering. Especially for us amateur noobs.

[@ApocDevTeam]

"they left one pad.. I apologize" 😆

When are we going to see you start working on video cards again! That was entertaining. These ps5's and laptops are starting to get a little repetitive. Shake it up!! Lol. Love your videos!! And your work!

[@louisban1904]

Hi, Really enjoy your show. One question though. ...Do you have time to train any new technicians. Who may ultimately be your competitor.

[@katlegomogwera3424]

look at that Matt finish of that solder 😂😅🤣🤸🏾

[@deathtrap1976]

Great job. I've lost my Big Boss 3 days ago from lever cancer and now I'm feeling lost too.

[@gp1640]

Soldering Perfection

[@crnlbwlawson]

Please..... You have to do one video where you say "solid" for each pin. It's my OCD kicking in. 😂

[@Demcka341]

That matte finish solder looks like when I first started and thought I could use plumbers solder wire in electronics lol

[@wefukthenwo]

Why would anyone touch this type of job without the right equipment is beyond me.

[@maku143]

You can attach a GPS Tag with the soldering iron/tip 😄 to find it easily 😜😜 joking... Awesome Vlog 👌🏻 clean job 👍🏻
