This is my drive I thank you so very much for the repair and the help!! Greetings from Italy!! THANK YOU!

[@cloutgoblin]

it does not matter how long the video is to me. the knowledge you provide is enough for me! thank you as always for a great educational video!

[@daviswallace6351]

I need my wife to see this video....I only do what you do as a hobby. Relatives, a few friends, etc, and especially grandkids that can't keep a controller functioning for long. My wife keeps asking why I need all the spare phones, controller boards and a few laptop PCBs - "junk" is what she calls it. But when I need a part, I can usually find it in my junk pile. Great work, sir

[@shoyrushoyru]

my goodness, the shot at 4:44, really brings into perspective how small these components are

[@Jedda73]

Still satisfying to watch even if it was only a short one. I think this video should serve as proof that if you dont mess with a broken device, Alex will most likely be able to repair it no problems. I love seeing big boss, your kids and any other family or friends who drop in, it makes these videos very wholesome and enjoyable.

[@chasefournier]

Using the RF Choke from the switch was genius! Fun fact, RF Chokes (filters) filter out Radio Frequencies so your device has a clean signal on that line (or lines). You see them in a circuit when there's sensitive data being passed from one device to another, or one Chip to another. Like in HDMI Video Circuits to USB Flash drives, and so much more!

[@trilexfix]

Is that similar to how a capacitor smooths out a voltage line

[@chasefournier]

@@trilexfix you are so right! Bingo !!

[@trilexfix]

@@chasefournier you know it baby, feel free to check out our channel

[@pentiumvsamd]

also if you don't have a filter , you can connect the lines and hope for the best, actually it works.

[@jontait1095]

It dosent matter if the video is short it just shows how good you really are

[@TLM-Nathan]

I believe he said previously he has a queue of 1 month+

[@PedroBorgesNH]

In case you're trying to fix yourself and don't have a similar filter, use a jumper wire to connect one side with the other. Long term fix would be buy the filter, but to recover the data, it will work just fine.

[@0557630]

No program for short Video... Your work is perfect... That we love it... 👍

[@stefanlechner]

Every day another great video. Nice. I love that, 5 mins of relax and watch your perfect work. Amazing job. Thank you, greets

[@amo-tesaodomingosdebenfica2747]

Thank you for the educational videos and all the time and effort put into them. Love the channel. Suggestion: when do we see videos of repairs of monitors/tvs?

[@mariushmedias]

If you look at the PCB, it's 4 filters, one for each pci-e lane. My guess is those were the traces for first pci-e lane, so you probably could have moved a filter from the right most pci-e lane to the first and then the drive would have worked using only one or two pci-e lanes, and of course at potentially reduced speed, but nevertheless it probably would work.

[@jasoncummings7052]

I very much appreciate your videos regardless of individual length. The knowledge is invaluable.

[@clivewright7778]

Bro u re a very hard working honest man.

[@BashoStrikes]

Short but, as usual, sweet. Bravo!

[@thewanderingguy5436]

I'm just came home from school, and check your channel, and you just upload the video 5 Hours ago. Love your video✌🏻

[@ryansamarakoon8268]

I still cannot comprehend the scale you work in. Those components are incredibly tiny! Yet there's so much control here

[@tinman9341]

Short video or not, there’s always something to learn from your videos. Some repairs just involve attention to details.

[@yummyklown9226]

I like short and sweet videos. Especially at work when I'm on my break.

[@jwilko7998]

It may appear short in video, but I see the laptop was dismantled in order to fully test the device. Great job.

[@kyalanis]

No worries about short video, always a pleasure to watch and learn....your repair business adventure...keep it up insyallah you be blessed always.

[@virgildeklerk]

Great and easy fix if you know what your doing. Great video even if it's short

[@ruudb72]

Nice! Short but informative. Thanks! 🙂

[@ronostrenski8359]

Thanks. Love short informative videos. Learn a little bit every day. 👍

[@oneandonlytyler1]

short and sweet.great work

[@TheKec789]

They make nice external M2 USB enclosures that would benefit in testing if a repair works. Then you wouldn't have to install it into a laptop to test. Love your site, channel, and knowledge!

[@redbaron6805]

I was going to make the same suggestion. A M.2 dock would be a perfect way to test these without having to install them in a laptop.

[@maku143]

If video is short then you should upload 2 short videos 😄 in a single day. We wanna see more... Awesome work 👌🏻👍🏻

[@expdrdre]

Ty for showing your fixes learned alot from you !

[@jameshadaway8621]

well done in recognising the part required 👍

[@PiMi91]

no need to apolozige Alex, isnt your fault if you are too good 🤣❤ is everytime a good start of the day seeing you and learn from your videos, greetings from Italy

[@Zebra_Paw]

Even better than data recovery, the customer also gets to use the SSD reliably like new

[@rc.9764]

Better than factory

[@ApocDevTeam]

No doubt data recovery is biggest help to customer. You can always buy a new device but getting lost data back is generally impossible.

[@Zebra_Paw]

@@ApocDevTeam yes I know, but data + device recovery is even better than just data

[@Zebra_Paw]

@@rc.9764 as always

[@rjgrlzn]

Short or long, we enjoy every video. ❤️

[@maybejapheth]

A Nintendo filter on a Samsung SSD. Hats off to your resourcefulness, Sir.

[@AlxTr]

better than factory!!! :D nice job ALX

[@birsingh5388]

You are very experienced, that's why you just see and find out there has missing some component 👍

[@user-sr1tq5eb8p]

As usual, excellent video. Thanks

[@daniellauck9565]

This is really small!!! I have a damaged M.2, and after watch your video taken a look at him....it´s impossible to see something on it using only eyes. Nice job!

[@bigsscore8378]

Thank very much for the lesson's good work. looking forward to the next one. and please send my respect to the BIG BOSS.

[@sweetestson7]

Please extend greetings to Big Boss☺️

[@JalanIcipVinaBabeh]

Wowww !!! Sir , you can fix anything 👍👍👍

[@christosmakariou4574]

Good thing you knew/suspected about the filters of the Nintendo being similar or the same as the ones on the SSD!

[@aliboss275]

Awesome work.

Good job mate 👍

Great work, respect.

[@Jason-zh7wo]

Great job, nice easy one 😃😃

This Quick repair is a compensation for all of the Hiroshima Repairs. Good Job and have a nice Day. Greetings from Germany

[@giovanni4926]

Great fix. I noticed that sticker, "Planet First" and then next to it "Warranty void if removed" 😅

[@xdrive100]

so sweet of you

[@henryyoung7184]

Seems the key to building this type of business is as much the stock of donor boards as it is the tooling and skill set, particularly for fast fix.

[@mulatiechekol4513]

Even though very short time video but the information is big enough and thanks!

[@krisdevoecht]

Big boss is a little bit shy 😉 but again a good repair!

[@fuzzs8970]

Shorter the better. Nice fix

[@suryavanshib]

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@KNFIX-CUCHI]

nice sir 👍👍👍

[@andrewboraine7322]

This might sound like a stupid question but would running a wire to bridge the gap of the filter also work?

[@chihofung6860]

Yes but not recommended. These filters are also fuses so if something has gone wrong with the supply, they sacrifice themselves (blew up) to prevent further damage.

[@SuperFredAZ]

What kind of filters are these? Where would you get them if you didn't have an old "switch" lying around?

[@alialshams1043]

nice Vedio ☮️👍

[@erbilretro8449]

[@petartomic9783]

Is that drive now good for daily basis or do you tell customer to get out all data and buy u new one ?

[@itstheweirdguy]

Good thing you turned on that filter, your mother might be watching 🤣

[@Darren777Au]

I guess if you aren't used to blown components, you're not going to see it. Was clear as day.

[@sefyuyussuf1981]

Well done 👍 one more time, " the job is done". This time there is no UV light to blow our eyes 😅😅😅 but you broke the warranty seal. Just for fun master

[@RealNovgorod]

You put it into another laptop as a boot drive _after_ you've backed up the image, right?

[@RickySupriyadi]

dude... you're making it so simple lol

[@niko6867]

Can you Make video where you introduce your tools so IS easyer know what to buy 👍😃

[@zachariepayant3864]

Awesome

[@kobs9636]

just curious. can we just solder a jumper wires to those missing filters? will it work?

[@Gianluxx]

Yes. But a filter is used also as a fuse so you loose that safety

[@RAWKitchens]

I like smile of big boss uncle
