i bought a tube of the amtec 559 flux and the atten hot air station. i really love how fast it heats and goes to low temp when parked. the price was better than fair compared to most other brands, and i got them in two days! learned quite a lot from your videos and my buying the items was my way of "paying back"

[@NorthridgeFix]

Thanks for your order. Atten is a great hot air station and 559 flux is best of the best .I appreciate your feedback.

[@laidman2007]

One 80 year old woman viewer here. Thanks to your instruction, this morning I was able to unsolder my first components from a PCB board. A little more practice at that, then I'll move on to soldering components onto boards. I'm/we're thrilled!😊 Thank you!

I have to stop it right after "Do not be selfish". Man, i think you have NO IDEA how much lives, businesses and repair shops you changed with your knowledge and your videos. Because you definitely changed mine. And i have nothing but huge respect to your work. And everytime i learn something new (as a small repair shop from central EU myself), i'm really thankful that you're sharing this with us. I wish you nothing but the best for you, big boss, and your lovely family. Thank you. Really, really appreciate your work. Mad respect.

[@viniciusvbf22]

Low melt solder is really magic. I've been using for 2 years and I still say "wow" every time I use it. Changed my life on electronics!

[@SubjectiveFunny]

Men are gravitating towards you because you give off an energy that is very rare. It is hard to explain, but you are definitely a leader, inspirational and motivational. Men are drawn to you because of this. Also you are very good at what you do, and you have a good sense of humor. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@realevostevo]

Just wanna say I'm glad there's a guy like you out there Alex. Your channel is fantastic, you share knowledge, I enjoy being informed about products you sell, and all in all I think you make this hobby/profession a better place. I love electronics and just wish I had gotten educated about all of this stuff much earlier in life.

[@davidtsiklauri1460]

I love watching your videos.. how clean and great job you do all the time. I learned a lot from you, and I haven’t seen anybody better than you on this field so far. In addition what I like is your great personality and ability to inspire people with same business and job. If I ever visit the California I will definitely Stop by at your shop. David from NY.

[@joshparsons5795]

As someone whose started doing repairs on my consoles I found this tutorial and your other videos incredibly informative. I've been having issues getting components off boards, and watching this video I think my issue is that I'm not applying enough heat. I think it may be time to upgrade my soldering station. Excellent video thanks!

[@harleysofttailtx]

The first time I ever tried to replace a HDMI port, I did not know about low melt solder, and I made a mess of it. After watching Alex for some time, I bought flux and low melt solder from him.... it is truly magic. Thank you for teaching, and providing us with the supplies that we need.

[@yummyklown9226]

Soldering is hard to master. When I think I have it down, something happens and it looks like crap. You deserve to praise yourself! You're awesome at what you do!

In couple minutes I've learned more from No BS BOSS, than anyone on KZbin in years, and I can fix anything!! If it can be fixed I can fix it , don't know till today if it's my talent or demise;!!!

weird take but ok

[@TheRubicon515]

More detail on the soldering techniques than any video I've watched on youtube, and as a beginner hobbyist, I'm sure you saved me several headaches! Thank you!!

[@Ryan_DeWitt]

Wow, what a difference it makes on the cleanness of the work if the customer didn't make any attempt to replace the port themselves and let an experienced skilled professional do it from the start. It looks absolutely perfect.

[@jordanindustrialcompaction8381]

Yup exactly. I do not attempt any repairs on my own. Car oil? Nope let a professional. Mowing the grass? Nope that’s for professional Broken wire In stereo? Nope professional only

Thank you for the video, couldn't get the port off the board didn't think about adding solder to lower the temperature. Thank you for the help

[@gerrymichaud3851]

I was watching when you added the low melt to the legs and added more solder. The legs had a bridge and when you added the flux the bridge sucked to that bottom leg. That was neat to see.

[@Theoldenmage]

Honestly flux is soldering wizardry

[@JeSuisUnePatate]

Awesome vid and job !! I don't do any repairs, but I like a lot to watch what you do, so I know how much skills you have and I don't, so I won't try any of those repairs myself. Professionals like you will get my Xbox if it need a repair (hopefully not - I try to be really careful with that HDMI connector since it seems kinda easy to break it). Huge respect.

[@Geeky907]

- bad news ... i'm giving 3 of my young female technicians "homework" this weekend of watching all the videos on your channel ;) ... All Joking aside, i agree with you on "WE" Vs "I" .. and i definitely appreciate your content! keep up the fantastic work brother!!!!

[@Bus2000]

Thanks again Alex, I'm not in the repair business only hobby repairs of solar inverters and professional build small controller boards. I have all the tools available but you need to know how to use them. I learned with help of you're channel to do it the right way. Many thanks!

[@BuyitFixit]

What solar inverters? I just did a couple of those a few weeks back. Aurora-Power one. I needed the service password, and support wasn't very forthcoming so I resorted to reverse engineering and wrote a keygen. If it's any use to you let me know.

Great tip about the low melt solder- I only have lead/tin regular- and it's getting increasingly difficult to get hold of it nowadays with all the do gooders telling us techies how to do our jobs. (I refuse to use lead free stuff as it gets brittle over time and fails.)

Loving the lessons learned low melt is magic especially if you know how to use it without rushing. Feel the same bout shipping bought the wife a blanket for baseball games the company said that were I live is a flat $50 shipping.

[@mitchnagel8909]

loved teh expanation on how you do this!!!

[@sedrickgates1]

I guess you could also use Leaded as it has a lower point. Mix it with unleaded, remove with whick and add more leaded. Not ideal but better than trying to ripoff just unleaded. But true, low melt is a better option.

[@jackiemay9471]

what a nice job when you get it first without a prior attempt

[@jonathanhenderson3629]

Your videos are amazing you shouldn't have to ask people to pay it forward they just should bc its part of good humanity. I had a gaming store repair my hdmi port for my series x and I swear they didn't use a xbox ser

[@GalgoczkiAdam]

Very beautiful work. Wouldn't be a good practice to cutting apart the connector with a precision cutter, then soldering out the pins separately?

[@kevinhamlett1400]

What why would you do that.

[@GalgoczkiAdam]

@@kevinhamlett1400 Because, if you can solder out the pins separately, you don't have to keep melt other pins while you do that.

[@outfield1988]

Beautiful work and awesome video.

[@matinapries8417]

[@Josam01]

Great repair, looks as good as the factory.

[@MilekaRobot]

I never used low melt solder, but I will get one and try, it is great staff! But works only on one layer ports, with two layers only you can do is to heat the port and put low melt solder to "fixation points". Keep great work!

[@dodgydruid]

I think the US to abroad postal prices are absurdly high, I would buy so many watches from the US but when you look at a $100 watch then add to it easily another $100 for shipping for something that ways a couple oz's is ridiculous, I can send anywhere in Europe the same package with insurance for less than £10 and usually 3 day delivery.

[@snipplewiffle]

Hey Northridge Fix, First off, love the videos. Have watched maybe 30! Great commentary and beautiful work. I have a question about soldering the new port: Are you also using low-melt solder to attach new port? Or are you returning to a lead-free solder for that?

[@malcolmgervais8457]

I’m late but I can only imagine he’s using regular leaded solder, as this has a lower melting temperature so it’s easier to work with, and the lead provides a better joint iirc

[@_mylastname]

Beautiful as usual.. Was that low melt solder you used to apply the port as well?
