I am happy to see that you're still doing repairs & survived the craziness of the last two years. The industry needs more people like you who take pride in the quality of work they do, who strive to be a more knowledgeable, and better technician with each passing day. Best wishes to you, your family, and your business for a prosperous future!

Some other components were not happy about it. but got several of them up and running again while oversees. All but 1 lasted 2-3 years. WOuld have gotten more time out of them if I had the right tools and practice in that skill.

And yet, with a tweezers and a steady hand you Can replace them. Just a Dahm good hint. Hold your breath! No joke, you Can blow The “dust” away 😀

This is exactly why I don't touch things I know I will not be able to fix. If data is important, I always point the customer to you or Jessa. I don't even want to do B2B, I'd rather get the customer a direct line to the actual person repairing their device. Unless of course it's something I legitimately messed up on accident, in which case I do everything I can to do right by the customer, no matter the cost. I've learned a lot of valuable things from your channel over the years. I would say the most valuable thing has been how to value time. I think a lot of people in this industry massively devalue how much time it takes to repair their own screw ups. No way in hell I'm gonna use a customer's device loaded with very important data as a guinea pig. I wish more repair shops had this mindset, it would make all of our lives a lot easier. You are a great person for putting up with this industry's crap.

Get a decent temperature control soldering station, practice soldering on broken boards or even just computer parts from the garbage. 1. The manual skills, which are nothing but practice. 2. For repairs such as this one, you need an understanding of how PCBs are actually put together such as understanding vias (the tiny holes that connect between layers), multiple layers. 3. Most of the rest of it is just the knowledge of what the board is doing, what it should be doing, and what it shouldn't be doing. This is just something that you learn through necessity.

There's a simple rule in everything: start with simple things to gain experience and only after that, go for more advanced things otherwise you'll damage everything beyond repair. Buy cheap damaged things and try to do your your best. This way you'll get more experience and if you ruin something, it'll cost next to nothing, you'll learn from your mistakes and no real harm will be done. One very important thing: if you think that something isn't repairable, store it properly for a later attempt, don't throw it as it is already garbage because many of the times you'll probably be able to do some magic later and fix it even if it looks like it's not fixable at the time you can't yet fix it.

OMG, I have stumbled over this vid with my limited electronics knowledge and cant believe these can be sort of fixed, well done...... now back to my 1950's Rockola jukebox when things were simple :)

Amazing job Jason! Appreciate your honesty along the way. I’m curious if this was charged by time and material or just the outcome

That was amazing, start to finish. I only understand half but it's entertaining as hell. Your little mishap there probably only makes the video more fun to watch, maybe that helps your self esteem a little^^

Seeing as you have the best setup ive ever seen in desk repair equipment it does kind of startle me that you use probes with the micro equivalent of the end of a fire poker to probe really small stuff. Ive been digging around in stuff from the 1980's till today doing repairs for people on their prized and treasured electronics. All my micro probing equipment, ive made special ends for the multimeter and scope probes out of a standard probe end and soldered a sewing pin to each probe end, converts a standard probe to a micr4o probe end and then used some wire insulation to slide the pin through to protect the main shank leaving a 3mm visible stainless steel tip. Put a piece of heat shrink on the former probe and an et vuala, a micro probe end that doesnt cross micro spaced boundaries and also makes for a better connection using the point of a pin rather than a full on probe end. Build cost, less than a dollar and gives me a far clearer view of the contact im probing. A Merry Xmas to you and a very happy New Year. Superb video and very engrossing

Amazes me there are not replaceable probes for this kind of work?

Thank you! The longer videos are especially more time consuming to edit but since it goes on my permanent record, it's worth it! :-)

Great to see some component level repair of things that were designed for assembly level replacement or throwing away on failure. :D

I’m not going to lie, this was way above my pay grade, for now. I will learn more about board repair! I do appliance repair and learning to fix boards and understand their components will really raise my game and make me more money fixing boards instead of just replacing the entire board. A lot of people don’t want to pay what it cost to replace the entire board either.
