Soldering is a good skill to master. For me it is all about the equipment that you use. Love the videos. Keep up the good work.
Big big big thanks for all Tips and Tricks..... Been watching you for quite a while now... Don't change a thing you are amazing....
Way back in 2012 I had a nice Asus gaming laptop and I tripped over the cable and damaged the charging jack. I knew how to solder but had never done anything like it, but I bought a new jack and went at it really slow, took my time desoldering the old jack and installed the new one when it arrived. Man I held my breath when I plugged it in after the repair and turned it on. All went well though, was a good learning experience.
The hot air rework station along with the integrated built in soldering station can be had on amazon for about $60 to $80 bucks and is well worth the one time investment for the piece of mind of any time one is working on a electronic piece of equipment requiring soldering or de-soldering work; one will reduce the chances of causing unintended damage to ones electronic equipment one is trying to effect a repair on; as some of these electronic equipment repairs can be quite delicate and complicated otherwise.
Everyone makes mistakes as the Dalek said to the dustbin 😱
Thanks so much for this video. It's a similar model with the exact same power jack (VERY poorly designed jack) and I'm trying to get that out off the board and it's proving to be very, very tough. I've tried using a heat gun, soldering iron with solder sucker as well as various kinds of wick. No joy! I can see the pockets are completely empty on the pins, and the 2 anchors seem to be free from solder, but I can't even get that sucker to budge without flexing the board. I've gone over this video a few times and you make it look so easy (it's the beard!). I know this vid has been on for over 2 years, but if anyone has some tips - I've done everything in the video at least 5 times - I sure would appreciate it.
I repaired TV and video units in the 1980's, I would always clean them before returning. The customers were blown away at their new appliances. A bit of TLC can be great customer care
That's the only tip I learnt from a Mastercare engineer I knew! We have AF Foam and Screenclene sprays and make sure laptops are nice and clean when we return them as a nice customer service thing we do :)
I enjoy your channel, I wish you would upload a tutorial everyday. Keep up the good work.
Brings back memories. I once spent 20mins trying to get the sound to work on a PC, it helps to plug IN the speakers.
Love your vids, thanks for sharing. 😀
I really need to get one of those desolder guns. Looks like a real timesaver.
it is.
Thanks for the rather concise and quite well laid out rational logical repair of the acer aspire DC power jack problem; I love the elegant solution of using the hot air rework station and the soldering station to potentially eliminate any significant unintended problems during one's electronic equipment repair; love your vacuum de-soldering station solution; I can see that being incredibly useful in removing large pin chip array sockets in particular.
Another great video. I do enjoy watching these repair videos, very informative. For me I love taking things apart, not so much putting them back together again.
Tip: desoldering gun works much better if it doesn't have to fight against gravity.
These videos are great learning aids, Memory Calibration is the phrase you are looking for :)
hey hey, second laptop you've helped me repair now *first wasn't exactly the xps15 but close enough to be of SO much use* Anyways I really appreciated the videos keep it up! Second time you've saved my a**, check back when I get a third I get stumped up on!
Funny I watched you miss the keyboard cable.. and rolled my eyes... how many times have I done the same.. ;)
I would like to see more videos from You. Thnx for sharing your work and knoledge
Great video, love your style and content, only wish you’d do more videos like the old days. Been watching your channel for sometime now and keep up the great work
14:01 Graham, please be careful with those flowing down spray liquid on LCD, some of it were slipping in between the frame. Once i had a very bad moment with mine because of that.🙈
i have the same old old solder has flux in it to i have 2 spools of it good job on that one to
Love the video, love the work, love the commentary.
Worked , thanks a lot!
I am from the olden days when we used the 60/40 solder.. I still have my original rolls from back then which either means they last a long time or I I don’t do much work these days. Yes the EU brought in a law a few years ago banning leaded solder. This subsequently caused a rush on the purchase of leaded solde, thinking it would be banned from purchasing.
good job as always. though i see on all your solder jobs that you have a habbit of applying heat and solder all straight away. you should maybe try out heating leg/component and pad for 1-2 seconds before actually adding the solder and watch the difference on how the solder will flow.
Adding leaded solder to unleaded solder changes the temperature it melts and makes it melt at a lower temperature. If you left it like that, there is an increased chance of mechanical failure.
As long as you then remove all the 'mixed' solder and apply fresh leaded or unleaded solder, the resoldered part will be as secure as it was before.
Hello sir , will done and very nice easy clean repair keep them posting
thanks bro it's really help
Cheers Graham for the Vid ... Have Customers No Shame sending in Filthy Laptops .. My biggest Bugbear with People ..
i learnd this last week at school. So i did this just once in my life and i am 50 jears old. Sorry for my bad Englisch, is not waht i speak here.
Quote from windowscentral:
"The European Parliament recently approved a law that will require many electronic devices to use USB-C for charging.
Mobile phones, tablets, and cameras sold in the EU will require USB-C by the end of 2026.
Laptops will also require USB-C charging by spring 2026, though there are some exceptions."
"less is more" then "over kill is under rated" they some mixed signals for soldering.. lol But yeah I would have put a bit more on the right anchor too ;)
Worth investing in some low-melt solder for removing these. This one didn't give you too much trouble though. :)
Isn't low melt solder just lead solder? Or is there other properties in the solder to make it melt lower?
@@cameronmarsden7206 Not sure of exact chemistry but it is different to leaded solder. You wouldn’t solder with it but use it to remove solder/components. Melts as low as 150F. Checkout this video: www.RUclips.com/watch?v=_xbqrq4QdMU
@@somewaresim ironically I have bought low mealt solder from Alex. It's just a very expensive option for me importing it from him with freight. Trying to find a cheaper alternative here in Australia or from Ali Express etc etc but can't seem to find it 🤷♂️
Cheers for your reply 🙏
Informative and instructive as always. At the end you mentioned RAM training: what do you think of the new AMD motherboards having to spend minutes and many many reboots RAM training?
Not seen any of that yet... pain in the ass if that's the case, will make diagnostics that bit slower.
Super video! One question: how to find / where to buy tweezers like this in video? Looks hard like Thor hammer, exactly what i need :)
Ah, I don't remember where I got this pair, but they're very good. Not fine, so bad for SMD work, but very strong for general assembly stuff.
@@Adamant_IT Thank you for reply, keep good work! 🦾
People talk bad about Acer but I have one I abuse as a travel computer and it's taken a lot of abuse over the last 12 years without a problem.
Yea I've got no beef with Acer... they're not super glamorous, but they're cheap and parts are everywhere.
I have noticed that you prefer a way zoom on your microscope which is way further away from the area to be soldered than for example NorthridgeFix for example which I have been binge watching just recently, is it just a personal preference or is there a benefit to it?
It also seems like that you aren't using a fume extractor even duh you are using such an old coil of led.
There's an ideous socket with a switch that is pressed when the power connector is fully inserted and connected to the main power chip. For some reasons the switch fails so the power chip wont allow the ingress mosfets to open even there's proper connection.
Good video. Can I ask what temp do you solder the jack at?
I set mine to 350c, lead free solder may require more heat and flux. I wouldn't go above 400c.
Old lead solder is less prone to dry joints as more malleable.
You are amazing!
I absolutely love your content and have learned so a much from it. Random question here. Why do you work on top of a seagate HD? 😊
He uses the hard drive cover as a temporary heatsink to prevent damage to his mat and on occasions the board he is working on. Especially useful when using hot air.
Hey everyone! I have an acer aspire on zg5, and it had a bad fuse. I repalced it, but ot also has a bad bios. There is a way to flash it with usb, but i tried it with like 4 usbs, and the power button is blinking, which should be, but it does nothing. Two usbs have leds, but it's not blinking, even after like 30 minutes. Any idea besides manual reflash with bios programmer?
Go check his video on Bios chip flash. It's a solder job though.
@@MrRawUK I saw it. I wonder if i can do it without bios programmer.
@@hirthbenedek Only if it has dual bios.
Remember kids: less is more, but overkill is under-rated. Haha
good video
ILOVE YOU
Interesting. My wife has an older Acer but is working fine. What electric screwdriver do you use.
Which soldering iron are you using?
What equipment did you use?
is it practise or practice 🤔🤔😀😀
What do you use to clean the laptop??
I often wondered how big a job the AC pin was. Did not look that bad. I imagine the tear down takes the most time.
He makes it look easy, 08:05 he says how it will be actually for beginner 😅 Good tips nontheless.

i remember one time a customer had brought his laptop to be fixed in the shop and his cat must have peed on it... oh my dog it stunk like urine how do people let tech get like that .. people dont understand we have to fix there crap when its like that
The smell of cat pee can also be evidence of a blown or leaking electrolytic capacitor.
cleaning with a spray cleaner directly onto the machine. aren’t you worried about liquid getting inside?
As long as you only mist it, it's fine 👌
I don't understand why people don't clean their laptops - I have two and they each get a good wipedown whenever needed. And don't eat over your computer!
Was that greenish stuff smart water?
Naa, nail varnish.
did you forget the fan???
Have this model but newer and the dc jack is really not convincing. Now i know which part will die first
you should disconnect the battery 1st
👍👍
wear it out testing it. lol
easy you make it look.
timed skills
Sweet mother of jesus, you touched that thing without a bio-hazard suit ??
you cant beat good quality wick for hole clearing
Or crap quality wick with a lot of flux. 😁
I would have given it back to the customer. Clean it first. Brrr...
Flux
Once bought myself a Acer laptop. Never again. Nothing but hassle. Random reboots. Poor build quality. Yuck.
