The only issue I have with doing the repair this way is the chance the connector will be in the way of something else when it comes to reassembly. Obviously checking that beforehand is advisable, if all clear, then there's no problem.
In this case, the connector isnt coming out of the case. Looks like a fan connector so they’re usually not in the way of anything
@@htfab9251 It's the power connector (5v and standby) it sits directly under the power supply, there is very little clearance, but that should be fine.
would using wire for the supports be viable or will they not be strong enough to keep the connector on the board? and by using the wire i mean to keep the connect in the same spot and grinding in front and behind the ripped pad so the wire is soldered on both ends.
That's the customer fault if so as he/she didn't send the whole console for assembling and testing
If location is a problem then just solder mask the connector to the board
I used that new grinding pen to remove some tooth decay last week.
It was a bit painful but I was able to get the cavity out without going to a dentist.
HA! Just kidding.....NEVER do your own dentistry!
Great product!!!
I almost believed you. I thought I'll have you come down to demonstrate.
Better than factory tooth 🦷 lol 😂
bob mortimer disagrees.
That's what I like - a man doing the job for years and still smiling when the job is done!
I could watch this stuff all day. It's like asmr for electronic junkies lol.
Appreciate the content!
Have done this before on different connectors but only using the back of my blade....dang that grinder makes quick work of the job! Thank you for another awesome video!!
Hi Alex, I would like to thank you for making videos. Today after 1 month of trying to learn micro soldering, finally fixed 0402 package* smd RGB LEDs of my broken Logitech g513 Keyboard. *(refers to 1mm*1mm 4 pin SMD LED). I do not have any equipment except a soldering iron. Lucky that Paderborn university offers free labs for students with all types of equipment. Me along with 2 other friends with team work fixed it. Desoldered from donor board, practiced on it, and then attempted on the actual board. It was super super hard and in total we spent 9 hours to fix 5 LEDs. Lucky that I had cermaic tweezers. Nearly 18 LEDs flew into 9th dimension. 10 LEDs couldn't take the heat because we were using metal tweezers at first. Overall it is a good learning experience and just realise how hard you have acquired those skills. Whatever price you charge, it is worthwhile for your customers. I tried all your techniques and finally we got the hang of it. First LED took 40min but rest took only 3min each.

I purchased one of the grinding pens from your site, AWESOME! I have an industrial repair station that includes a grinding pen (tethered to the station via a cable) and for this type work, the small pen is far superior, even though there is a massive difference in the price. Sometimes, more $$ isn't necessarily better!
You are getting known for repairing the repair attempts. It also doesn't seem to bother you as much as it did in the past. I would imagine the price of a repair is higher once you know it's coming in and has been previously messed with. Oh. I finally did my first solder job. DC jack replacement. =)
If you have it, you should connect the mate to the connector. This will support the pins while they are being soldered & minimize the chance of the pins moving out of place because the body of the connector softens.
Just the way I used to do that. You don't have to worry even all pads are ripped, just grind, solder and cover with solder mask. But I used to wick all solder in order to keep conector as closer as I can to the board.
Better than factory! 😁
Easily the best technician on RUclips, great thinking
Really awesome work, Alex! It's awesome I got to see you fix my board and you making an educational video out of it! I've seen several videos, usually it's the power supply cable that gets ripped off the PCB. A friend gave me that console in that condition, thanks for the fix and added bonus of video :)
That's some clever thinking right there. Kudos to you sir.
This guy is amazing to watch love his videos professional work every time i would let him work on any of my devices with absolute trust top bloke 👍👍
Yes this is a good option for me as I cannot find any copper wire for sale in my area to use as the traces! Amazing I love that you provide options for the same kind of repair, thank you NF!
Alex, your my hero! I set my clock to catch your video first thing in the morning even before I have my coffee.....Cheers buddy.....Regards to BiG BOSS and the rest of you're wonderful family.
Very simple and of the highest quality. Bravo!
Been wondering who this reminds me of Northridge Fix is like the Bob Ross of micro soldering it's amazing how iv been able to gain these skills and follow along.
I love that grinder pen! It makes it really easy and fast to get this job done. Did I mentioned , Im watching with a cup of coffee... cheers !
With zero knowledge of circuit boards and repairs - I find myself watching all your videos!
Iam from India-tamilnadu.
Your work is amazing
Nice work , I've been watching and downloading ur videos and learning more from you. The tools and techniques I've learned more from you. AM COMMENTING ALL THE WAY FROM PAPUA NEW GUINEA. THANK YOU FOR UR SERVICE.
Awesome fix again!
when he ssays "Look at this, look at this, llloookkkkkk at this" it's about to go DOWN lol lol lol
I do alot of this type of work on spare time that grinder is looking Ike n awesome tool to add to the collection .. thanks for the vid awesome job , very solid
Good repair, have you tried a fibreglass pencil for removing solder mask? it's a lot less brutal in operation 👍
So very helpful! Thank you.
Damn that grinding pen made light work of that,Amazing product
Love from Pakistan ... Always learning from your repair videos amazing 🤩
Hehe, better than factory, I like that..... Another lucky customer..... Thanks for all the great videos.... I am starting to like repairing as I keep watching your channel....
Best solder ever seen bro 👌 🙌 👏 💯
Excellent. There are leftover pads on supporting pins.
Nice and simple. Well done.
you are an artist man , keep this lovely smile up bro .
I think you removed the pad on the 4 pins @ 4:56 but not on the 2 anchor points to the side.
Another good video Alex! Keep up the good work greatings from The Netherlands :) (Watching all your video's you upload)
In the place of the little grinder I used my screw driver to grind and solder after. It's my favorite hobbies :))
great repair for someone that does not have pads or wire
i have a issue im trying to figure out that is similar to this. i wish i could show you a pic of it, and see how you would fix this
Your video is so helpful. Its sad that i see many electronics that stays damage many years when i can see it can be repair.
I believe that the black plastic housing will be in the way of where the connector Is now
Grinding pen rules again, very nice fix and much more solid then using jumper wires 👍
Love your content. Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Ingenious as always.
people never try to repair something themselves that they actually can
they always try to repair that they can't

Nice video! What about the thruholes under the connector? Can they make unwanted contact?
Thanks for share this video. Its very helpful.
It's really awesome !! Well done 👏thank you for your videos ! 👍 I'm a big (french) fan
good job mate.
Good work Alex!
Another great job!! Wish your videos were longer :)
Okay this is great, but my question regarding the repair process simply because I am not a experienced electronics fixer like you is.. The pin that had the ripped trace missing and you created a new solder joint.. The trace doesn't need to be completed to the section it was connected to? Now that you have made a new pad where is that signal going to if the rest of the pad isnt linked/ intact to the full trace to complete the circuit? Was there enough trace left to still get continuity across?
Better than factory 👍👍👍❤, hopefully it will not be a problem for bigboss at the time of assembling
Very nice fix, this is solid for a longt time. Thank you for that video. Greets
could you have grinder over the old pads to expose the copper under the old solder? why or why why not?
i ripped mine out too trying to clean out the fan. I fixed it though but they are hard to pull out on the ps4.
Good work
Thanks for sharing
great video as always
Solved nice and good! Perfect!
Easy tricks! Love them! U are the best
Did you clean supporting pads off camera?? May be you forgot😊😊
A rotary tool is fine, but I generally prefer to use abrasive fiberglass brush for such job. It makes it virtually impossible to grind through copper or damage traces.
For those in EU: if you want a rotary too perfect for this kind of work, buy one from Lidl. It's totally underpowered which makes it perfect for PCB work.
do support pads have ground connection? what about the gold rings around motherboard mounting holes?
Very good explain thanku
Beautiful tricks
Please fix the pins on an FPC connector part of a board for a telephone like the Note10+
ruclips.net/video/AmUXufE2EFw/видео.htmlsi=pq898l2TlrMPjRCg
Awesome work!😁
why not do it on left and right to the connector and leave the same position? just add more solder to hold it
Please assist me ................ I want to know if all the caps around the RAM and APU , if they are suppose to be shorted to ground. Have 3 beaten up ps4 and all the caps around the RAM and APU are shorted to ground. Is this common or is it a problem?
Excellent
Wow!! You're amazing!! Does this work the same with a Ps4 Pro?
Hi there i have a good time watching your videos, you're awesome in what you're doing but i have a question about your repairs. What was the most complicated or most time consuming repair you did? Greets and keep up the good job!
Wow, you are amazing ❤❤
The thing for me is that the solder just doesn’t attach to the motherboard. Does anyone know why?
Sir, gadmei tv tuner power connector problems how to solved, give me diagram.
Good job🥰👍
I tried myself and no luck think I ripped some more off how much will you charge me for the fix
Awesome sir I will have thought of even doing something like and I’m a type who like to smart not harder make life so much easier
so a wire of solder or a different wire ??
The job is done.. Better than Factory.
I think that the best way is flip it
How are all of these getting ripped ?
wowww thanks sir that common sense
Better than factory 😎
what if you used the gel superglue type? wouldn't that work well enough? I mean, yes, you had the tools and clearance, but what if the pads didn't expand further down, that'd require four wires or in some cases be obstructed.
To how degrees do you need to solder
Awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍
Magnificent
Shouldn't the ripped trace be reconnected? Now there is just one trace taking the load of two.
question about your microscope. How much space is there between the work surface and the bottom of the lense?? I've got a microscope that I used from time to time but I find that its got to be kinda close to the work surface which makes it difficult to get my tools in there.
Great videos BTW.
good job
Good morning have a nice day 😀
Amazing
solid
Is that a Gzz-matic grinding pen?
Hi Alex... what is status for Video Cards? does backlog cleared?
class one video alex... grinding pen rules ..
Amezing work
Artiste 👌👌👏👏
