[@thomaslewis3071]

love your work! Im amazed at your steady hands with such tiny components, its a privilege to watch you work, thanks for posting!

[@MikeSmith628]

My background & work history is very much a carbon copy of yours. But, most of all I TOTALLY admire someone like yourself that has the mind and capability to do component level repairs and not just a board swapper. Good job, Sir! 👍🏼

[@gil10601]

you are so right about Ohms law. Long time ago I did a whole semester on next level math in electronics. When get your head around most of these complex formula you figure out that everything relates back to ohms law. When you figure that out you can sit aside most of that complexity because everything kinda just fits together.

[@insecuredoge1718]

I'm starting to do phone repairing as a hobby, mostly digging phone from the trash pile to fix them. Really love your work and how you keep the best in what you do. I hope I can get better in term of repairing skills and somehow make a living out of it someday.

[@kretin123]

Great work Jason! Always a pleasure to watch

[@robertking7584]

Jason, you can test both camera's without the passcode. Just drag up on the lock screen, pick the camera and you're there. Don't feel bad about keeping your parts in a basket. I keep them in a cardboard box. Separated by device type but otherwise, just tossed in the boxes Mouser or DigiKey shipped them in. For future: When the magnetic field INCREASES voltage goes positive (increases) when the field breaks down or DECREASES voltage goes negative.

[@agaragar21]

How you don't have a million subs is beyond me !

[@gavper2]

Great job Jason love the work

[@laurentperier8331]

Excellent, I love these long videos showing different kind of trouble. Love that. Good Job Jason. HI from France.

[@fioxfiox]

Thank you for listing steps and timing on description :)

[@echwel73]

Nice to see you doing so well :) Keep it up!

[@Ryfhoff]

Funny coincidence, when I was in college a good friend of mine asked me to switch out of electronics and take the computer track. Back when I went to college computer guys had to take a couple of semesters of electronics. Needless to say, I switched to computers and now it’s been 23 years in the field. It has treated me very well over the years.

[@interestingspagetti]

Just starting to watch, already liked!!!

[@neil8288]

Love your videos, you do a great job and love your humble attitude...

[@lasanthacaldera1000]

nice jobs. Thanks for sharing your knowledge....

[@brandontansil4444]

Yay! Another amazing video. I'm ready for you to do a live stream soon!!!

[@markevans2157]

I watch the whole video I learned so much thank you

[@phinney4398]

Jason, I came across your channel and I love what you are doing. Keep up the great work.

[@unionrepairbd9955]

great job....STS

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

I’ve watched a shit load of your videos and love it that you don’t edit them. It’s taught me a lot of the things that commonly go wrong with iPhones 📲

[@tammylhinfla]

Awesome job

[@jasonshowers1600]

You do a great job.

[@ofwjeddahjdaksaexpatriate7267]

Thanks my friend for giving us an idea..god bless

[@beckles26carloss]

YOUR VIDEO HELP ME ALOT IN FIXING AN IPHONE 6 FOR A CUSTOMER

[@leonsalisbury]

The more I hear about your background the more I think you should be into Amateur Radio. Love your vids and the way you explain how you get from "broken touch" to "this filter is bad".

[@sharfazhameed6382]

It’s always nice to see you n learn a lot n enjoy the hilarious video you always make

[@moe2638]

Bro, I love what you're doing here! I saw the entire video, eye candy to me, lol I can see this stuff all day. I'm a self made techie myself, although I'm not as advanced as you are. Keep up the great work, it was a pleasure to watch you work 👍👍😁

[@ststele]

Hello, thank you for watching and for the kind words! 🙏

[@crumplezone1]

3 outta 3...home run dude !! :)

[@Tysp7]

I came for the juicy mistakes.

[@tacanty2100]

Love those coils glad you like them 1:08:00

[@bo7ansan]

.Great job.. Thanks

[@owencoffey3039]

Awesome strait up we love ya just say what ya feel .it's funny too

[@geraldstokes5744]

Nice, Thanks

[@cormacpyper]

Nice work Jason I love how you use the hotair to assist with working the micropencil its something i still need to practice for now i am switching to the 2028 still when gnd is being a pain :)

[@anthonyvibezt.vchannel4390]

I love your work u really inspired me alot with this amazing video

[@aleksandrnikolaevic2569]

you are a genie! compliment

[@neil8288]

I just upgraded my power supply as my old one would kick out. And using freeze spray for those vcc short to grounds and working like a hot damn. I almost bought the flir cam but really the freeze spray works great and glad I didn't spend the cash.

[@otoniel780]

Nice video 100%

[@SpyStaMia]

Good evening! I remembered watching this video and how you were having issues with the focusing of your camera on your Amscope kit and thought of you when Louis Rossmann was having the same issues in his latest. It seems you are absolutely correct with your theory about the long pipe used in your model as opposed to the shorter stub used in other content creators like Paul Daniels, Louis Rossmann, Art of Repair etc. The maker of the scope has changed the mount to be more “universal” so other cameras can be mounted. This results in a very unstable mount with the issues that I’m afraid will plague what is a great scope for the money. Just thought I share that info with you. BTW : you have a great channel thank you for your effort! Welcome to Florida!

[@anasaccount8662]

Man you are awesome

[@adamcfpv5372]

i would love to get into being able to repair flight controllers for drones like maybe replacing gyros or other components

[@thebestever3326]

Thx man

[@kevinjobrien420]

really wanted to watch you fix the screen, anyway love the vids

[@tomclifton3920]

For "local" sourced components, both Digikey and Mouser are excellent. What one does not have in stock, the other usually does. Both are friendly to small no minimum orders (like Ham Radio folks that like to build and fix things - new and old)

[@Dyaxxis]

1:39:42 Regardless of price, I have not experienced one manufacturer with every single design aspect to be completely optimal. This has resulted in purchasing "single-channel" and/or "compact" versions for each tool from different manufacturers. The lack of space saving and power cable management has only been a slight drawback, but it's worked well for me so far. Some manufacturers have certain hand-pieces are only compatible to certain control units, so that's another challenge I've encountered as well.

[@pldaniels]

I have to say - watching you take that backlight driver off with the Xacto + hotair was not something I was expecting.

[@ststele]

Hehe, I thought you were gonna like that. Especially now that you're going to be faced with a possible rebuild around so many different corners. Took me a bit to fearlessly tear them apart like that though.

[@GregM]

Same method as his Tristar removal technique ;)

[@pldaniels]

Haven't seen him do a tristar yet with that, must have missed it - oh well, still was a neat thing to see.

[@informediatech-bruno5766]

realy LOUIS ROSSMANN AND ELY THE COMPUTER GUY in a live stream omg that would be funy to watch

[@peterppeetteerr3888]

Nice job man, I'm looking forward to the video with ohm laws :). Do you know when this video will be published?

[@AssistechInformaticaarcos]

the best

[@savannsun9130]

damn i just watch a movie and its damn good. thank you!!!

[@benhur563]

Hey Jason, I'm watching you more and more and Louis no more because YOU do repairs and do not keep ranting about your business, yous taxes or whatever.

[@sprint48219]

wow thats 45°F ? you'd hate it here I've seen 48° below zero ! good luck with changing your latitude ! be careful you don't end up in a place with hurricanes or tornadoes you'd never find all those little screws

[@GamingWithColby]

You def deserve more subs by now. The youtube algorithm hasnt been kind to you

[@vivian4949]

Just keep telling yourself, if it ain't broke don't try and fix it yet lol.

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

heya oh yeah like to see the tristar 90 degrees turn

[@mikeh6876]

For Analog, maybe you should consider a VTVM - less than $100 on eBay. You are correct about diode mode only measuring continuity - can not determine load

[@patelindustrialengineering1159]

Great job,wish to join

[@alimmi9]

Opening always looks so easy. Aren't current iPhone models glued at all?

[@SkrixFox]

someone is in the dog house lol

[@joesammy4343]

thank god for skip forward and 1.5 times speed to soften the rants

[@joshuabest100]

16:26 i laughed so hard as he poured it onto himself lol

[@rydmerlin]

FYI the best picture was around 6:27 that was crystal clear.

[@OmarQasemProRepair]

nice job what you doing here...i learned alot from you....thanks alot...i really have a request to put in mind please...would you mind to link all components(spare parts not tools) you use in your videos specially in this video from digikey to be able to buy them...you will save us alot of time and money. best regards.

[@neil8288]

Lol I commented before you said you were out of freeze pray!! oops

[@robbie3304]

I love watching you fix phones, but I think you need a bit more light on your workbench area there are too many shadows with the light you have at the min , just an observation, cheers keep up the good work, all the best from the uk 🍻

[@davidshanlay]

I just bumped into your video while searching for the information on some new tools. I don't really watch repair videos since the guys like Luis talk too much BS that has nothing to do with what is going on. Your style is quite easy going so keep it going low. Good work.

[@MariaTCosta-kz5ry]

I know it! It is like that

[@eng.wandeson]

Friend! Excellent your video! Could you tell me the reference of these caps and where do you buy them? Very good! May God bless you more and more, learn a lot with your videos.

[@zx8401ztv]

Jason, We all make mistakes, yours don't matter, the end result matters. Enjoy the good days, they make up for the crap ones :-D I still think a spray with switch cleaner would save your psu, cheaper than a new psu but won't break the bank if it don't work :-)

[@user-tz9zm2kk5t]

good job but way you change the 3 caps you can change just one or remove them

[@TheAmazingAhmed]

I have a question are all smd standard and operate the same way in every motherboard? For that filter you ordered through aliexpress, couldn't you just take the same size off from another motherboard and put it there? Or is that filter specific and is different even if it's the same size? Thank you

[@freddofrog_]

I really hope your wife and yourself do well with the buisness and smart move to get out of regular IT, I am thinking the same after many years, not sure what to though but whatever it is it will be better :)

[@danielrock3119]

still no new power supply lol? you should try a lavolta bps305

[@benwrong6855]

Hey Jason! Love the videos... could you tell me a rough idea of what circuit to check for itunes not recognising the handset? Thanks!

[@ststele]

I would normally go after Tristar first but it seems there are quite a few things that can keep them from talking.

[@zahangirkhan3457]

Hello Boss...

[@thomaslord7318]

Hey there Jason! This is Thomas Lord. How is my 6 plus coming along? It is fixable I hope!

[@abbassaid2689]

hi bro am from kenya been following your repair videos for some time now. how can i get ics for replacement. its a challenge here no parts.

[@ivosaksida9612]

I think you need more light on you're working bench. I led strip with warm whit color light. Light is also problem with auto focus of camera becouse CCD sensor is slow becouse of pore light. Light is also good for you're eyes that you don't damage it.

[@dormankenneth]

Have you thought about doing Mac logic board repair?

[@alimmi9]

42:48 What's that spatula / spudger (however you call it), you use for opening all the time?

[@Duddie82]

I have never seen anything like that. I am still trying to figure it out. I helped a friend replace their screen on that exact phone. And it was nothing like that.

[@royberger1558]

One more question. Do you use the microscope-camera in any way during repairs when you are NOT filming for KZbin? Thanks.

[@Isastop]

What ticket system do you use? Thank you

[@imantkiss]

Hi, great video,have you ever considered investing in fume extraction device? You solder all the time and it is not the healthiest job.

[@djwilliams4714]

get a right angle 3.5mm for your audio/mic receiver... then you can put it in your pocket...

[@chauffeurmarco]

The robbery stuff between components that you remove, do you leave it like that?

[@chauffeurmarco]

Oh! You will probably sleep on the couch tonight. Hanging up on you is not a good sign.

[@andrewmshamoun]

Hi guys, I connected an I phone 6s plus to the output for a mixer instead connnect it to the Aux input by mistake and the screen showed lins and colors and then phone went dead 💀. Tried to charge it nothing. Dfu mode didn't respond. Disconnected the battery and tried new screen nothing. Any idea where to start looking. The charging IC or the what else Thanks

[@izyvids5483]

hi i like u video i have some problem my iphone xs after water damage it was restarting about 3 to 5 minates loud speaker and vibrator not working plx any idea

[@JoshuaFitzpatrick]

What ticketing service is that you use? Mentioned it was not RepairShoppr.

[@ststele]

I'm using Ultimate Client Manager. It's written in PHP so I'm able to modify it pretty easy.

[@Nomad10001]

Hey J. Pls help me. does not work touchscreen (it's not in the display) at 6s, tell me where to look, what to check

[@samsumgmou]

Hello good day i have iPhone 7plus with ic audio bad and I need to fix the problem can you do the job

[@deepaknamdeo715]

So sweet friend

[@GregM]

Enjoy the unedited videos shows us that not everything goes smoothly and there are occasional hiccups along the way

[@ky314]

At 1:43:11, it’s too funny when you say (sounding just like Sergeant Dangle from Reno 9-1-1) “I don’t see any balls popping out”. images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/6600000/Dangle-reno-911-6625978-400-600.jpg

[@victorruiz2761]

what temperture do you put the hot air gun to melt solder

[@royberger1558]

You said you loved your ticket system, but didn't identify it. Will you share that info?

[@richeager7066]

You could never damage anything without electricity??? 1. Metallic tools always develop low level magnetism which can cause multiple issues. (OK not aluminum) 2. Pcb"s are full of electrons!!! Capacitors as well as Solid state Hard drives, Ram, chipsets, etc I've spent way too much time attempting to completely discharge devices and could always measure stray current afterwards.

[@cinest5170]

Want to get a new power supply? Check this Rigol DP711 Programmable Linear DC Power Supply (single channel, 30 V/5 A) or 50 V /3 A. Also USB PC interface with ultra power software.

[@mariopingul3591]

Do you fix iCloud lock? For iPhone6??? How much do charge?
