He has good soldering skills, but the approach he is taking is not perfect. The short was caused by himself and the repair was too time-consuming. You do only need to recover the data, you don‘t need to solder a proper port to it.

One of your jumpers contacted a pin on the connector. It was the wire soldered to D+. When you soldered the connector on, it made contact with ground via the connector pin (I think pin 6).

@SatisfyingEverything13 жыл бұрын
pin 4's jumper point which is D+ was right under pin 5 which was ground . so actually when you solder the jack onto it, the solder actually creeps under the pin 4 and 5 and makes a bridge under it which your microscope couldn't see. please check my referrence at 21:38 . I have been doing micro soldering since 2004 and these kind of issues happen when you solder onto jumpers.

Nice video...love those long videos and repair on stuff like a thumbdrive. That was really tricky, but we all learned something about this. I never knew that there are usb sockets with different pin-outs. Thought they have all the same pinouts like usb3.0 = usb3.0...but now, we all learned something. Perfect video. 👍👌 I have an idea for your video on soldertips, maybe you could explain why your tips always look so clean. Is it cause you are using a copper-wire- leaner? Do you leave a small spot of solder on the tip when you turn off the station?
@HAGmbHkeG Жыл бұрын
maybe the socket is one that's supposed be mounted on the underside of the board so it has a mirrored pinout and it would be correct if viewed from the bottom? would have loved to see a quick comparison with the meter in diode mode. and yes, leave your tip covered with solder when turning off/letting it cool down to prevent oxidisation (tip not being shiny anymore).

If you’re using flux core solder only. You should do what you mentioned. But I’d you apply flux separately there is some lateral to add solder to the iron and apply it. Watch some micro solder videos you can apply solder to the iron and just drag it across all pins. With enough flux it works fine

I would suggest for this type of repair you have a USB breakout cable and breadboard. You can just solder wires to the headers and connect them to a breadboard which as a USB header on. You can keep reusing this. After all you never gonna hand the flash drive back and say sure just keep using it. It always as case of grab the files and the client can buy a new flash drive to copy them on to.

I enjoy watching your videos, I'm learning myself and I'm actually doing a laptop A/C jack replacement today.

I guess what I'm really asking is how much heat can these tiny electronics take in general before they die?
@HAGmbHkeG Жыл бұрын
most components will have a section on max soldering conditions in their datasheet that will tell you what they're guaranteed to withstand by the manufacturer. I don't know if they're just covering their asses (probably?) and their components can i.e. take the heat for 5 times as long in 99% of the time though, no experience with that.

Is there steps to take to test a a usb stick board with a multimeter if it doesn’t get recognized by the PC? My Linux system doesn’t even see it being plugged in. I took the case off and saw a tiny led on the end of the stick that lights up when it gets plugged in so that circuit works. Would love to use this stick as a learning piece to see if I can repair the stick. It’s my brothers and he has photos on it that he wants. It’s an old stick. I don’t see any bad solder joints or pads. No burnt marks on any of the tiny surface mounted resistors or caps.
