Fixing a Customer Screw up. Nintendo Switch Repair.

very nice

Hello, I am curious how do you apply hot air from the back side without everything falling off the board???(I am very new to this soldering stuff )

"They created a Hiroshima" .And thats we love you alex lol.

I thought you were leaning back in horror of the bad work the customer (or a previous shop) did 😄

Never saw a SD port replacement before, thanks a lot!

its fun when you dont have to worry about stuff going to the 9th Dimension when the customer already did it for you

Always impressed. 👍

Gigabyte is, hands down, the worst component company. I've been trying to inform people for more than a decade, and still people buy their shite.

Just in the last 2 years:
-Massive BIOS bugs overvolting CPUs to death.
-Exploding PSUs.
-Randsomeared and lost all RMA data, stranding in progress RMAs and killing their whole RMA division for a month.
-Backdoor BIOS flaw.
-Faulty/low quality PCB on $1000+ GPUs blamed on user after inevitable crack forms.

GB sucks.

Another great video, thanks. I always learn something.

These videos are therapeutic for me😅

i just found out about your channel and i missed these kinds of videos. rossmans videos right now have mutated content and is now about a cat and a dude talking about anything else but repairing stuffs lol.

In JayzTwoCents most recent video, he mentions that he wants to do a collaboration with you 😁 Apparently he wants to learn how to solder properly 🤣🤣
You know that this would be awesome ✌

Your working style very different from Saudi Arabia we work without hot twizzeer and when replacing hdmi port we don't solder back legs like you do and in Saudi Arabia madinah we don't use solder mask

Hey, kinda offtopic, but... please teach JayzTwoCents how to solder correctly so he can stop triggering everyone with his solders... lol

Please help jayz2cents, he needs it

You mentioned you wanted to get ideas for some place to put a flux syringe in to keep it from leaking and sticking.
I drilled two angled holes in my bench by my Weller iron control.
Put 2 tweezer covers in them. My flux syringes are right there and handy. And leaned back at me like an iron in its stand.
I haven't purchased any Amtech flux from you but am wondering if the syringes have a plunger you can draw back.

Do a collab with jayztwocents.

Sure was a quick fix that one 😆 But good job 👊💪

Just a heads up, Jayz2Cents wants to do a collab video with you because of his "less than stellar" soldering skills 👍

So far I've repaired three devices with the knowledge gained by your examples. One is a tiny computer with a micro-usb port which kept becoming detached. The second was a MOSFET, about the size of a grain of salt on an LG oven main board. Finally, just today, I found a shorted zener diode on our LG dryer's main board. Dryer was dead. Replaced the diode and the dryer is working again!

I really never thought I could effectively repair SMT stuff, but you gave me the courage and confidence.

Jayz2Cents is wanting to do a collab and is in your area. That would make a killer video!! Please reach out to him.

DO THE J2C COLLAB

Hey JayzTwoCents wants to become your apprentice and learn some soldering. Please do a collab and teach the youngin!

Yo, @JayzTwoCents just mentioned you in a video, wants to you to teach him how to solder the right way in a video.

good posture is important

Think you're doing well if you get a year out of a usb c connector on one of those.

🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰

i replaced the backglass and screen on iPhone 8. I saw broken glass had damaged mics in the bottom. i replaced it for free. next day customer called me and saying you stole my original charging port

If you didn't make this look so easy maybe people would be less likely to try to repair their own stuff. Credit to your skill.

Alex, if you were given the opportunity, would you go to a electronics manufacturing company, to see motherboards being made? Like laptops, Nintendo Switches, other items that you repair? Thank you 🤓

I laughed at "some of the small components flew away", then I remembered and I stopped laughing.

why not heat it directly from the top? why the back?

Its incredible how much i learn from your videos. i practice on dead boards for more than a year now with different techniques you show in your videos and i am getting good. The trick is like you said. people see you don it and think its easy.

Great video Sir! Which Weller solder tips are you using please?

Seem Microscope should be a technician first tool.on the tool list ....lols

That board looked nasty. Must be frustrating not being able to test your work.

and this is why I leave this type of work to the professionals. I would NEVER try to attempt something like this, even if I knew exactly what was wrong and I had the needed parts right next to me. I know I have no experience with soldering so I would never try to fix something that needed to be soldered. Not saying people shouldn't try new things but if you are going to try new things try it on something that doesn't cost so much like a calculator lol.

Alex, did you find a house? I miss the house hunting videos!

Also, before you act on the valuable item, practice several times on junk -- and view your practice jobs critically. If you can't do a good job on junk without pressure, then you cannot do a good job on valuable items.

The image was a bit jittery. I had to hold the monitor to maintain a stable image.

Quick question. How do you ground yourself when working on PCBs? Do you have a grounding mat ?

Your videos challenges people to try this at home..and when they do ...they create chaos ..

whats the fee for cleaning the board ?????????? $400 $500🤣😂🤤

How are those scammers that ask you for money doing? The cease and desist ones

Love watching this guy work he's an absolute perfectionist big love to mr northridgefix 👍👍

I use to charge extra for customer or other shops screwups.😮 I also had a 30-30 warranty for these repairs. 30 Seconds or 30 feet which ever comes first. It was 31 feet to the end of my driveway.😅

Better than factory !!!

Big fan I have same working setup as like you

I used to do minor repairs of computers for a major retailer. I had quit that job a year and a half previously when I get a call from a customer whose computer I had supposedly worked on. He was saying the power connector port on his laptop was lose and it was working fine before I had worked on it--over a year and a half ago. I explained to him that I no longer work for the company and he should take up his issue with them.

He said that the store refused to repair his power connector port and that someone at the store gave him my number since I was the tech that worked on his laptop. He was completely fixated that because I supposedly personally worked on his laptop that I must have been the one who damaged it. I suggested again that he call the store and to leave me alone. TL:DR: he harassed me to the point I had to block two numbers he kept calling me from.

Oh, but there's more--
PLOT TWIST: The entire time I worked for the company I NEVER once worked on a laptop--only PCs. I never even touched a single laptop the entire time I worked there.

Legend has it he's till calling random former technicians to get a free repair for his laptop to this day.
