You know, Jason, with the right amount of heat and just enough low-melt solder, one could undo the world if so inclined. Great work on that nasty shield. edit: You know.. and I know.. when you say something like "before I put this shield back on..." I was ALMOST expecting to hear you say "I'm going to test this real quick, just to be 100% sure." ha.. who am I kidding?! Love it!!

For the viewers who use a *real* temperature scale, 138°F is *59°C* so a hot fart could melt that -sodder- soLder. 😁 According to my daughter's coffee/barista machine coffee temp is 176°F (80°C) but it does vary a small bit according to coffee and style. Never knew about coffee or tea temps because I can't drink either of that crap. Coffee makes me puke 🤮(seriously) and tea I find very distasteful and requires 8 teaspoons of sugar to make it palatable for me. *Thank You* for the videos Jason. Excellent as always. 👍

@ststele 2 ай бұрын

Lol thanks! I just had to Google it and you’re right - Hot coffee ranges from 71.1C to 85C! I’m the opposite when it comes to tea. I prefer no sweetener. I’m not sure how I wound up this way. 🙂

@0ctivate 3 ай бұрын

Hi Jason! Im loving the "fast chip" low melt. Instead of using the hot air, i started using a second bigger soldering iron and a bit of regular solder on the top edges of the shied to get it hot enough. Then the mini iron to spread the low melt in the seam. Works really good. I also chop up the low melt into tiny bits into container and apply it where i need with tweezers. Ps- bugging you again to try the Quianli 007 tool from sentrix to remove underfill.

@0ctivate 2 ай бұрын

Hey J! i mave just just had some interesting success getting low melt into hard to reach places with this method above. I used a Mini C115 Bent Iron Tip to reach to the bottom, Then a huge C245 - 908 Tip at 380 and touch to the heat sheild next to the small tip. The trick i just figured out is to touch the big tip to the small tip (lol), so not only do you heat the shield but you supercharge the mini iron with more heat at the same time. Board was Ipad Air 4 Shield and cam off pretty easy with hot air after this. But some boards are easier then others, so not sure yet.

I get the logic behind maybe not wanting you to put reassemble the phone so they can 'see' what you've done in there.. funnily enough it probably looks cleaner than factory after you're finished with it. I'm curious what they thing they'll find.. interesting Jason.. I bet a dollar they don't dare attempt removing that super elegant shield you had to take work under.. oh the fun..

You replace the component and solder back the shield without checking if the short is gone, also you put it all back together before testing if the phone was working. Is it confidence from experience or you just didn't include it on the video?

if I want to start learning what you do, what is a good place to start? I don't see myself getting a hardware engineering degree, like I think you did, but I want to learn enough about circuits to get into it and start attempting to fix electronics as a hobby (got a main job as a carpenter which I am not letting go). I will go to china this summer and am planning on buying all the necessary hardware to at least play around with logic boards. So there is that, but before I do I want to read and learn some of the theory and see if I am willing to push through. In any way thank you for posting yet another amazing fix. And I really mean it. I follow plenty of electronic repair content creators, and most of them simply don't even come close to your knowledge. Especially the way you understand the entire circuits and how they work, and where in the end the problem should surface. I don't need to become quite as good as you, but if I could only posess 5% of your power I think I could die happy. Have a great day Jason!

Hello, I actually didn't get any degress or even go to high school. I do plan to get a GED & possibly some other certifications some day tho :-) I learned most of what I know about electricity in my teens and early 20s by taking things apart and building projects. I had given up on board level electronics repair many years ago but then I found Louis Rossmann & some other channels on KZfaq showing that with a microscope, it was still possible! That's really where this latest venture began - I bought a microscope & soldering equipment and continued learning hands-on and from KZfaq. Honestly, I probably would have saved myself a lot of headaches if I had taken a microsoldering class! My first equipment was really inexpensive with the microscope being the most expensive tool. I probably spent $200 total on soldering station, hot air, DC power supply & ultrasonic cleaner in the beginning. I would *not* recommend my first soldering station though.. it had the tendency to self-destruct! LOL Hopefully this helps! For the record - I do regret not finishing school. I appreciate you watching & commenting!

@@ststele Wow, could have fooled me for sure. I always took things apart as a kid, but usually not in the right order XD. Anywho, thanks for the reply. This made me confident enough to at least try and have a go at it. Money really isn't an issue with the equipment, it's moreso that I don't like wasting money on something I will not use. I guess I will though, cause I find it so interesting. It's very inspiring to hear you say all that and I know now what to do to get myself started. Thanks Jason, have a good one!

Got to wonder why Apple used a higher temp solder on that shield. It is almost as if Apple is purposely making it hard for people to fix their phones. Imagine if Apple watches this video and see how you removed the shield and decides to make it even harder by putting legs on the shield that goes through the board and secures it in the inside of the sandwich. And puts circuits on the underside of the shield itself to keep you from cutting the shield. Of course I just gave Apple ideas.

Yep, it’s true. When building I prefer metric and at the bench I think in C. I refer to imperial measurements as “noodle units” and find metric to make a lot more sense. But for what the temperature is outside, it’s still F. I don’t do any conversion for temps - I just learned soldering in C.
