Thank you 🙏 for this amazing video

[@ststele]

Thank u for the very useful tool. 👍

[@mobiletechnologysk4875]

Any contact no. Please

[@randomhalohalo2430]

sana all merong tools

[@ststele]

Hey everyone! I hope you like the video. The soldering parts have been left intentionally long because I wanted to be convey the full experience. Thanks for watching. :)

[@ryanfountain3733]

STS Telecom how much would you charge to replace a nand on a iPhone X or just replace the logic board? I just got a iPhone X in that I ordered off of eBay and it is iCloud locked and I guess flagged by Verizon!!! I’m out 400$ now and just have a very nice paper weight! So I would like to get it fixed and working! I have fixed a bunch of iPhones but I don’t have the tools or skills to micro solder let alone know what I’m doing replacing chips on the board! If I change the board with one that’s not iCloud locked it should fire right up right? I love your videos man! Your a beast at what you do!

[@ricardomediano3652]

Nice Balls dude, thanks for sharing man

I like the way you do the job for your clients. It looks very professional and you pay a lot of attention to details which is fantastic. I really admire your work. Keep up the pro way!

[@chauffeurmarco]

You really got me going for few secondes about the microwave. 👍🏼

[@xperiasucks]

Great work Jason. I watch all your content just for entertainment. This one definitely deserved the thumbs up. You've got some balls.

[@AaronGranda]

Spheres, got to love them. Just looks so nice when they form in the flux.

[@ElectronicConsumer]

Hey I’ve been really enjoying your videos I really want to do this after college getting into micro soldering and fixing iPhones

[@leadtechservice1287]

I really appreciate this video!!! We were sent an X, and the top is a Pringle. This video might help us solve how to rebind the two boards!

[@Reuben-]

This was a great video to show case the various tools you're using these days to repair/salvage iPhones.

[@IphonesatEs_info]

Fantastic! Thanks. Waiting for more

[@GregM]

Appreciate the longer form video. It gives one the total amount of time required to effect the 2 processes. I think what would be useful if there were additional pins that you could screw down or simply friction fit over the existing pins when realigning the boards during reassembly two align the two halves. During disassembly these additional guiding pins are not used and can be removed so that the 2 halves of the board can be flipped apart ideally.

[@martinicc5317]

Very good video Best explanation ever!

[@TheAbeSandoval]

You got me with the microwave LOL, thanks for your videos, i am restructuring my shop with them

[@daved299]

Nice! As always, very informative.

[@georgeodriscollvideos7740]

Another great vid Jason

[@NOONFIX]

Thanks for the video bro And what is the melting point of your solder??? Is it 138??? Or more??

[@richardjames6553]

Love to see your work

[@Adrian_Finn]

28:38 The "joining board" is called the "Interposer" board...learned that the other day. ;) Great vids BTW, really loving your content. You're really easy to follow.

[@godfather005]

Thank you Jason

[@Solamar1]

Really nice video! Thank you!

Pop corn iPhone X, very good job 👏👏👏🙌

[@DHisense2016edition]

YOU GOT ME IN THE FIRST PART *CRYING EMOJI*

[@michaelfiorella6583]

If I would have designed the IX5, I would have made those pins so they screw out to catch both boards. Great Videos!

[@gregsz1ful]

Im learning and having fun at same time !!!

[@kamyrafiq8862]

Great Video... what do you do about the thermal compund after the ultra sonic cleaning? Do you replace it?

[@user-vy3hs1ee2o]

thanks for your videos...you helps me alot.... i adore you...

[@Georgeolddrones]

Excellent video thanks J 👍 George/ Uk

[@tonyarcher1997]

Lmao hahahaha loved the beavis and but head reference. Hahahaha hahahaha 🤣 awesome. I have so much fun practicing rework, I crack myself up with all of the tid bits and nonsense I might spout off. Thanks Jason, always enjoy your videos and humor. Hope you are doing well.

[@ststele]

Lol, thank you! So much has changed since this video.

[@ashrafshaik5871]

Sir u r great we love u r work Sir we are waiting for basic electronic videos thanks

[@smartfonefixcouk]

Jason I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@microsoldertechusa9480]

Did you use solder paste or same that was in the board. Thank you and great work

[@mobilezone8895]

Thank you work successfully

[@edmilsoncarlos6258]

Very well, thank you

[@imostafis8715]

i love you bro and I love your videos

[@pohkhui]

Beautiful video 👍👍👍

[@tombez3638]

Hi. I think this jig to assemble this pcb together must have longer pins also they should have thread in and a little screws with soft springs attached to it ,to push top board down when solder is melted. This should help a lot. Anyway great video.

[@yurivetrov]

Very nice video ))) hello from Russia !

[@lighter8983]

Interesting video.. its give me idea to start doing X and above..

[@didoriginal]

Great video. You should try contacting the original owner and ask him to remove the iCloud lock to this board, I believe that you can see the full e-mail address as the phone is not yet locked or wiped.

[@alaster33]

Great thanks Jason , great vidio , I got get those tools too , when I can afford them

[@alexholden4274]

Would love to know how many ball utterances there were in this video. Needless to say, I love it when you explain the intricacies of ball size.

[@fredygump5578]

The deflection you're seeing in the board is likely just the result of the bottom being warmer than the top side. If so, the trick is to make sure the entire board is the same temp, especially when the solder solidifies. Maybe make a small insulated box/ cover to set the board in as it is heating and cooling?

[@manfredcastroramirez2827]

Hi Jason, I just got the same preheater and I want to know the exact time to separate the board since you turn it on, and the exact time it takes to put them together???

[@fnotransportfnotransport6958]

Nice dude love your work and yours video,s 💪🏻 Your are Funny to Whey you do video,s 😆 Keep up the work 😎 greating from netherland

[@jincedevasya]

good work...

[@toddt6730]

Nice tools ,I'm glad you didn't destroy your microwave

[@ststele]

Thanks, but it wasn't the fireball that I had hoped for.

[@itisyewolf]

To be honest you blew my mind

[@rickkcir9959]

I think the jig needs removable alignment pins. I would want to be able to align the two boards, but then remove or retract the pins so that the top board can "self correct" when it begins to float.

[@edwardtsema7740]

Jason, you should go to that one Chinese electronics market in China and go on a big shopping spree! You'd find really useful tools for really cheap!

[@fadhelfadhel9698]

Thank you

[@Egon1982]

Cornholio! 😂🤣😂 you making excellent job with those videos, micro soldering and ofc beavis and butthead impression 16:06

[@dwightk.schrute8696]

When aligning the balls wouldn't it help if you ran some fine-sized pins through the screw holes? Love your videos btw!

[@alienencounters5710]

that was AMAZING///////////////////////////

[@ipremiumelectronics9240]

It seems kind strange now that you change the camera angle ( for better ) We were used to the old one. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@besarlimani7144]

I love your videos, I enjoy watching you are humble person, the wey you explain things is so beautiful, but I have a recommendation for you! You have I socket which costs around 200$ but you are reballing you motherboard with iron solder and not buying 3$ BGA reballing stencil, It was pain watching you reballing like that. I love your videos man, Much love form Kosovo 👌

[@ststele]

Sometimes it's difficult to leave stuff like this online.. lol :-) Was indeed some of my very first sandwich attempts. Thank you for watching & commenting!

I loved it 😘😘😘😘😘

[@johannesdesloper8434]

Oh my, that test thingy is neat. Seen a dozen of your vids, great skill I'd say. Still wonering why you wear gloves. Many times I see you toching your hair, mouth, scrats with the gloves. :) Interesting btw that low melt sodder... maybe added Indium? I'm gonna check that out.

[@dixsusu]

Congratulation for your effort , from Romania . Apple seems to catch up with Research in Motion Limited ,after 5 years. Eh!

[@xTheGeeRaffx]

What capture card are you using for this? Thats the one tool you left out! Lol

[@todornikolov2063]

Hi :). You can see REWA Technology tools they use. And thanks for great videos.

[@ernieschatz3783]

There must be something I'm missing. If you want to use the pins to align the boards, why did you put the spacer back?

[@bldmangsm4787]

Good Luck

[@anoirbentanfous]

Please from where to get that cable to power the phone? I want to get more productive in this business and I guess these can be bought for various model...

[@MoyDeeGaming]

Me and Alex have been calling it a riser.

[@unaistech]

which flex its good roly

[@l4589]

PRO !

[@zeldincheracho2614]

were can i buy the mehanic for separating the board of iphone x thank you

[@mudassariqbal6880]

Hey jeson i wanted to take your advice ,i am beginner to iphone repairing and there is fonekong team coming from china for advance course in coming march should i take this chance its only for 7 days .. will it help me in my future ? please advice me

[@gabrielh9886]

"About 2 minutes later" Ad starts playing

[@geirmortenolsen6334]

Hey Jason :D

[@billmatrix1]

Whitch desoldering wick did you use?

[@berrydewitte8790]

Just Out of curiosity coulndt you instead of going with the iron on al the pads Just remove the solder with wick and reball with a stencill ?

[@ststele]

Yes but sometime after I recorded this video, I learned that there are tiny spacers between the board sections. I carelessly wisk them away in this video. :-O I really need to make a new video. Every since I learned about the spacers, I try to make certain not to disturb the factory alloy when separating the board. This makes it extremely easy to sandwich back together & retains the factory spacers that keep solder from squeezing out when pressure is applied.

[@phoneguy2005]

Tbh it would be funny Geting the info, finding who it previously belonged to and be like “here’s your iPhone X motherboard, the rest of the phone idk.

[@Ed31003]

what if on the i-socket hook up the extension and power, flip it upside down then attach screen?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

I have not done this, but just thinking.. If you put a screw in the hole next to the apple logo, it will be easier to lift it vertically by holding the screw with tweezers or else, without damage the solder balls.

[@ekeminieffiong4421]

Where do I buy all these tools

[@Haries-eg5vq]

hi bro. iphone8plus both camera not working .any solution please..

[@fodyfody4825]

gr8 n it draws less power n apms ........man u r hired lolxz.....

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

heya oh wouw 1st time seeing a i10 pcb like that

[@sean8931]

could you possibly use the iSocket with the spacer plate and leave out the connector plate to put the board back together with hot air maybe?

[@ststele]

Yes, I believe that would work.

[@sean8931]

I saw the writing on the plate and ran it through google translate and the writing on that plate says " No Middle Frame Test Gasket" . Might be worth giving a try on the next iphone X

[@pulpoloco7737]

Please can you activate subtitles in your KZbin menu so that your subtitled video comes out? Thank you champion I really like your videos

[@marco1862]

maybe you can make some extra pins and put these in the holes that are not used by the board holder ?

[@dtfr69]

do you use a small fan to push the smoke away from your face

[@JonnyFix]

Hump grid array :)

[@paulmcmc4005]

Beavis & Butthead laugh @ 16:07 👍😎

[@nola8616]

You should wick and clean one board and dome balls the other board then heat link them together for 100% link and no bridges

[@bobbobby5724]

Master

[@rafaelbernal3473]

After 3 years still doing it this way?

[@klevrepairs]

Great video bro. Thank you and btw to many balls in one single video 😂

[@richardjames6553]

Your cool

[@favtrip]

👌

[@trottier0family]

What do you use in your sonic cleaner for cleaner?

[@ststele]

Branson EC electronics cleaner in distilled water. Solution is 3% - it's really concentrated stuff!

[@atgred]

33:21 Forgot to FaceTime Bre Bre!!!!! :O Oh!! I almost forgot! Call back Jacorin! 49:15
