Alex has one hell of a business model. First he supplies the necessary tools to amateurs, who then mess it up, and have to pay Alex to fix their mistakes. 😁

@Michaels Carport I had same problem, I was using low quality solder wire. After buying good solder wire+good flux and wicks, thing started to go very smoothly. It's also importat to add some low melt solder wire to the area first. Then Wicking becomes one of the most satisfaying job ever:D. There is Solder wire with 350c melting point and probably they are used in motherboards. Because they are more resistant to heat. That's why adding Low melt solder helps alot. Alex does it always.

I have been fixing computers for 10 years and I finally gave in to a customer and did a PS5 hdmi. I was successful but will never do another one. People are failing because it is a super difficult repair. It was a huge PIA to get the original connector off and super difficult to get the tiny pins all connected. Not to mention the filter capacitor. I am lucky i didn't have to mess with broken traces or the diode and cap on the back.

@problematicg3nius912 Жыл бұрын

It seems like a blessing and curse having KZfaq University available to everyone. As you said, it used to be 1 or 2 out of 10 with customer attempted repairs. Now you are seeing 8 out of 10.

I got inspired to get back in to soldering from your videos, tried repairing an ipod 30pin cable, was successful initially but then one of the pins broke out while I was testing the cable because I didn't give it any strain relief, tried a few more times and sacrificed the data cables to use as power and the same kept happening, I swear they made those adapters to not be repairable, that being said I know it's incredibly tedious to repair a cable plug so small but I still tried (and failed) but it makes me appreciate how good you are at your job I am no longer able to focus on such small things and my hands shake significantly which I can't seem to calm so I think I'll just leave it to the experts, microsoldering :D haha

Yeah, as already mentioned it might be worth having a statement about prior repair attempts. It should really cost more when you have to fix someone else's mess. You do an excellent job showing how you do it and then the customer thinks they can do it. Learning is great, but they have to practice first before a connector attempt!

I learn so much from this friend just watching his videos. unfortunalety, here in Portugal, they dont give a lot of credit in electronic repairs. That's why it is very dificult for me to get the tools that i really want. In time, i have bought a lot from my own pocket and i must one of the very few that do micro soldering in Portugal. I am in the wrong country, i guess. :) Thanks Alex, for your time and your know How.
