I hate these stupid micro USB ports... for something that fails so often and gets so much force applied to it regularly it should be much easier to solder. Pins and holes would make so much more sense.

"All money donated will be put directly back into upgrading video quality." I'd invest in upgrading audio quality.

[@patkenny1048]

I appreciate you taking the time to make a video. Thank you.

[@superpooper_2030]

I guess i must continue to keep some old stuff for practicing. Thanks for the video

[@leopcnet]

Thank you for sharing, I'm following you here in Brazil.

[@bobweiram6321]

How to remove solder bridges: Add flux, clean tip to remove all solder and try again. If stubborn, use solderwick.

[@nantuck8146]

AWESOME THANK YOU!!!

[@TaylorBlack0]

I'm sitting here like how long is it gonna take before he gets solder wick

[@Sunzofmann]

lmao was thinking the same thing .......

[@ImarSchmo]

Hopefully you've had some time to practice since you made this video. I found it almost unbelievable the extra work you made for yourself by breaking stuff. Best of luck to you!

[@lenzkappovfood7001]

Your point is well made. I ask this as a relative novice at soldering, how should it be done? When I saw the iron being rapidly moved side to side causing 'big' blobs of solder to short connections I thought "This isn't going well", and I wondered if the solder wick should have been used a little sooner.

[@Chris-ml3hw]

Excellent video, thanks! I stripped the board when removing my charge port from my LG v20. Has ~10 trace repairs :(. May I ask what wire size you recommend/used? Insulated or non-insulated? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!!!

[@integrationofmanandmachine4714]

nice jumpering be careful not to remove the conductive lines on board

[@martinlewis1015]

Example of how not to use inbuilt mic on camera and hard way of soldering

[@quranmp3live]

tnx

[@brandonroberts9717]

Is it not okay to just put a glob of solder over all 5 of those, where it would be connecting them together? I did that to a remote for my electric skateboard and now it the blue light that tells you it's ready to take off the charger stays on instead of the red that would normally be on when I unplugged. So I don't know if it's even charging when I plug it in now. Also, am afraid to try leaving it plugged in, cause I don't know if it could cause a fire or something.

[@RepairLab]

No its not OK, you shorted them all together if I got it right.

[@evandhoffman]

I haven't soldered anything since I was a kid, but my Kindle's microUSB port appears to have come unsoldered. What tools would I need to attempt this? Aside from a soldering iron, of course.

[@RepairLab]

A soldering Iron, some flux and maybe some wick and of course a magnifier should be all you need.

[@travispratt6327]

You need solder too =p 60/40 leaded solder is the only way I’d even attempt this, the lead free stuff is alright for larger connections but just does not melt or wet good enough for this micro stuff.

[@Kowl]

What is the piece of strand copper looking called? The one that you used to fix one of the connection pins?

[@vivek28patil]

Soldering wick

[@RCsFinest]

Is it good to leave the flux on like that?

[@neondoc7635]

What is the cost of this work in your city?

[@darkus2015]

Around 7:40 is where I start to panic and burn pins and just bad things happen :/ I had to scrap my Bluetooth speaker and now trying to fix the tablet.

[@meTimetraveler]

what do you use to clean the flux off after you are done

[@RepairLab]

meTimetraveler IPA

[@emiliohuizar3549]

I think is a bad repair. The holes in the board are there for one reason, and it is to support/absorb mechanical stress. The connector has legs that need to be bend it and inserted into the holes.

[@i-Click]

what's irons and hot ait temperature?

[@RepairLab]

Tom Kan I always use the soldering iron around 300-320 Celsius (depends on the tip) and the hot air as well but you must find your own settings because every station is different and there other important variables like environmental temperature etc. I hope this helps.

[@deanarchuleta1882]

What is the fluid in the syringe?

[@t522]

Flux

[@popitn2nd]

My micro usb port broke on my skate board remote. Also the battery connector. Can i send my remote in for you fix this? How much will it cost. Thanks!

[@RepairLab]

Hello, Where are you located?

[@popitn2nd]

Califorina

[@RepairLab]

@@popitn2nd you can send it over but would be better to find someone in the states to do the job. We are in Europe.

[@popitn2nd]

RepairLab what place should i look for that do this kind of stuff?

[@RepairLab]

Look for a place that can do microsoldering

[@Lemmingski]

Pretty much all of my soldering is "oops".

[@AIroboticOverlord]

Rofl. Mine are not perhaps but for sure and pretty also not available. Its all chronic ugly ooopsiedooppseees whahahaaha.

[@dazzkhan2299]

Finally.. 😥

[@joe1692]

What a hack !

[@samacochan]

What a mess............haha

[@leopcnet]

this kind of failure in common day to day, he could have removed the excess weld with a needle, but wanted to try to remove with the flow and ended up removing a pad ... more gave to redo the trail at the end .... we know that this exchange is very fast in the laboratory every day.

[@simoncheung2427]

7:24 what is the name of the liquid

[@zakopako82]

Soldering flux

[@cmchan9851]

What language are u speaking ? Or is it something to do with your audio system? I couldn't make out a single word spoken by you.

[@DonaldJrRitz]

Great video couldn't understand you though if you are speaking English couldn't even tell . I think you should solder a new microphone in your video camera. LOL

[@vanlalhriatakhiangte2704]

ilike to USA i don't how is go

How not to solder

[@gerikuper6473]

You need hot air station this not good

[@alphazulu3625]

I know it's old but oh my god, this video makes me want to throw something. Might I recommend learning some basic skills before posting a video for the world to see

[@m.m.m.c.a.k.e]

Words hurt

[@Samsemillya]

Sound is horrible

[@misi4782]

Edit ur videos

[@raefblack7906]

don't know why they make micro usb's as they are shit

[@hahac.8629]

bad job

[@wilsonchew93]

Bad way to remove solder... Should have used a solder wick or a desoldering sucker to remove excess solder.. In the first place, should have put the tip of solder wire to the legs/pins of the microUSB to solder. That would avoid too much solder being taken and applied to the legs/pins... Such a simple solder task which can complete in 3 mins which took up so much time....

[@studentism]

​@@wilsonchew93 you're right about the wick--should've given up and done that after a swipe or two failed to remove the solder bridge. i don't agree with what you said about the soldering wire, though, given the size of the component. this is a pretty standard method for SMD work

[@MrAlazonic]

I didn't like your job man . I wouldn't let you repair my phone ! sorry but honest ! I was doing this kind of mistakes when I was 15 years old

[@RepairLab]

And now you are 16 I guess! lol

[@MrAlazonic]

@@RepairLab nope 23

[@RepairLab]

And what is the mistake you are referring to?
