Soldering is so much fun! I’ve been practicing and trying to get better. Thanks for the video!

Appreciated! You make it seem like it is something I can do without a lot of experience.

Excellent video. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this!

Well done. Thanks for the information

Great tutorial, thank you!

Have an interview tomorrow mng on this. Thanks for helping out

The close proximity of those tiny smd components to the socket kept me on edge... Good job :)

You did a nice job here

Brilliantly done

Really good video and step by step breakdown, thanks for that. What is the purpose of pre-heating the board?

Man those conical tips are the worst. It's probably late to recommend the TS100 soldering iron but the tips for it are very good especially the conic-flat ones. Too bad the price of it went up and now they replaced the aluminum body with plastic, but if you can get your hand on it for a low price it's a must buy. ;)

Hi, where did you get the needle syringe thing from for dispensing flux?

Good explanation. I wished a closer look. How does board preheating help for port soldering/unsoldering ? Thanks

Efharisto Nik thank you very much my friend.

What temperature are you using for the soldering gun and rework station?

Greatings from a Soutgh African Greek

I couldn't really tell what happened when the low melt solder passed over the pads Is it ok to let the low melt solder get on the pads during that de-soldering process?

Do u have to solder or is there another option?

Is this also possible on my snes mini? USB micro broke after a few hours of use. Would love to keep playing on this one instead of emulating the games I want to play. Thanks in advance!

what happened if we did not pre-heat the whole board before start soldering ?

If the port falls off/isn't attached properly from ware and tare, do you need a new port

whats the background music.please

I soldered on a new micro USB port to my coworkers Bluetooth speaker and it’s not saying it’s charging. But before I soldered it if I pressed the ports prongs onto the pads it said it was. I’m guessing the solder is likeeee. Too tall and it’s shifted a little maybe. Idk though. I don’t have a microscope or anything. Just my 20/20 vision so by the looks of it I may know what’s wrong but my brand new soldering iron is being a dick and will die after 30 seconds of refilling with butane so in the mean time. You think it’s just shifted too much? Or I messed something up? Or is the port raised too much

what did you use to clean the flux couldnt hear ti properly

I recommend adding information on why you'd want to replace the port to start with. For me it's because my old ports (and plugs) are so worn from thousands of insertions that they no longer charge continuously without keeping the charging cord pulled in one direction or another during charging. I've been doing this with rubber bands attached to the cord and my phone. New charging cords help a lot, but don't completely fix the problem. That's why the port itself needs replacing, too.

Cool and all, but how to replace it with a USB-C?

If resoldering didn't work what would you suggest?

where did you find the usb-c port? I'd like to do the same and not fuss with ports that need hacking to work given the # of pin differences edit: sorry nevermind, Im looking for converting ports from micro to type-c just noticed my search came back with yours about straight replacement of micro, good to know when these ports go bad i can straight replace, still hunting for my dream of converting fairly simply to type-c

Thanks bro for the service but it's not in order to use the hot air gun to reput the USB port since it can easily burn out the plastic part of the charging port bro. I wld recommend using the hot iron instead. Otherwise thanks.

To clean the holes you just need strands of copper wires, bind it together, put some rosin and heat it with your solder while inserting it back and forth in the hole,

Why to preheat all the board?

btw, its a bit dirty but you can use a compressed air gun to push away the molten solder while its still liquid. With something like 50 psi it can push easily even the most stubborn of solder joints. No need to waste flux or solder wick like in your case. The only downside is that it leaves solder splattered everywhere so if you are not careful it can short a board or other components if say you do it from the underside of a cap. But in cases like that where you have a big hole and a clear path below it should all go to the table instead. ps: "the solder is melted" -> "the solder is molten" (melted for cold stuff, molten for hot stuff)

Clean your tip and use more flux, will help the job.

Jbc solder iron best you replace solder iron

He totally plugs in a micro usb at the end of the video. Don’t believe the hype folks. 12:56

As you can see, this is not a job for a soldering beginner. The micro USB is a terrible connector, hardly worth replacing, it will just break again very soon.

I've always burned the board 😅...

dont add music it makes the video bad
