I like that you had that senior moment when you refitted the old port and remarked that it fit better than the original......nice one.....love your videos and professionalism.
Most people don’t want to try anymore. Many shops do not keep parts. Thanks for explaining the part process for young soon to be service techs. Nice to be see shops try to repair when many give up.
imagine how much engineering effort could be directed into something important like solving world problems if we just had like 5 of these ports universally used by all manufacturers.
Some video was either joking or doing a documentary (can't remember which) on why standardising USB somehow failed, I mean at the end of the day it is just 5 bits of wire that stick out of it. I think its crazy that there are 500 different types of shells for it.
Video that i was looking for, glad I finally found it of where the parts come from and I guessed the donors when clients leave it and ask you to buy it. Ebay is a great place too. Thanks Alex. Great video. Love the IMPROVISE and persevere motto. Never give up.
Same here :) in the last 8 years I haven't thrown anything out and so there is a solution for all problems. Over 200 laptops and a lot of motherboards need a lot of space but you can't prepare better if you want to work in the repair business.
@@Wheel333 I once auctioned a large box of scrap notebooks (broken case remains without mainboards and popular components) on ebay and sold it for 18€ on an auction. I was glad how much space I had made. 3 days later i had to buy a whole top shell for 60€ because of a broken power button... i just sold the matching part with the scrap :D
@@SiETechNotebookReparatur A week ago i threw away about 100 leftover cases including hinges n stuff. Yesterday i needed exactly one of those damn hinges -_- But nevertheless, i have lots of free space now x)
Perfect as always, and a nice description at the end👌👍 But i also have to laugh at 11:47 ...maybe you created a meme now „perfect fit, better than the original...wait a minute, it is the original“ 😂👌👍 I love what you are doing
I made one of those boxes too, but there is noooo way I can find the patience to take pictures of them all. It would be time to retire by the time I photograph them all 😂 I didn't realize key fobs fail that often, wow. Have a great day everyone
I took a lot of work, and people who've been following, know how much work it took to make this box...Purchasing, Organizing, labeling, packaging, and photographs.
@@NorthridgeFix crazy amount of time. i just put one together for use in shop and that was enough for me 😂 I cant imagine actually putting these together for sale. Immense amount of work. I take my hat off to you guys 👍
I wonder if that red anti consumer / Anti Repair Lenovo crud was what did that to the original green pcb mask. Almost seemed to be right where they put that is where it rotted the board.
I assume that when a port has been used from the port box then customers are able to buy replacement ports to make sure their boxes are stocked .. maybe quoting a valid port box customer code so you don’t get people just buying one or so ports from you
When will your items be available to post st a reasonable price as I really want to buy some of your items but live in Australia and there's no way I'm gonna pay $45 for postage cost for a $5 item
Currently USPS has a lot of issues delivering packages internationally. We used to charge $10 USPS international shipping for all packages up to 1Lbs or $25 for package 1-2lbs. Most of USPS shipments were returned to us after long period of time, or stuck somewhere and never got to destination. Our only option at this point is UPS which comes at a higher cost. We have it at $45 flat but sometimes we pay more to ship. The nice thing about UPS is delivery speed, in most cases less then a week. Of course shipping cost will not make sense for people with smaller orders. As soon as USPS gets back to normal, we'll start using them again.
You can, but since the board is not designed for USBC, there is no advantage changing port to USBC. Charge speed and data transfer speed will remain the same.
I mentioned that a while back in one of the video but never got to do it. I have it on the to do list. Filter will definitely make the search easier, although it currently does not take me more then a minutes to scan thru the images.
This red glue is SMD glue that cured via applying heat, unlike regular black under fill getting it to glass state is near impossible as it's maximum strength point is around 260C and glass state around 400C, without special tool removing this staff is way harder then removing solder mask from PCB. Actually when you encounter red glue first try scraping it without heat as some of the brand have lower strength at room temperature.

we have so many donor boards lol. you always think I should throw some of these away and then boom you get a repair where you need the board you were considering throwing away. im considering having employees go through and sort by manufacturer, type, etc.

Lenovo is actually a brand that been use by many small new company that want to realese their products but by using lenovo brand so they will have advantage on selling n make profit from the brand, Lenovo make many profit from some companies using their brand that why we see many products with low quality with Lenovo brand.. sorry for long text. 🤣
I'm really disappointed with Lenovo. I have the Lenovo Tab 4 8 and they did the same thing with the power connector and the red garbage they put on it. It was really hard to remove the red stuff and unfortunately three of the pads ripped off. The board masking was the same cheap stuff that easily comes off. Their prices on their devices are relatively cheap, but it makes sense now. I'm going to avoid buying Lenovo products.

Broken phones are a good source of components. I keep them for charging ports, microphones, etc...Plus, there is no need to search by the device name, just search mini usb charging port and compare the picture from the results with the component you have.
That's the madness of consumer's society look at the number of designs for the same port. FOR WHAT?! They make sure You never find the right one when trying repair things.
ked to vidim, musim sa smiat! s "elektronovym" mikroskopom je to jedna malina, ale skus vymenit USB-C konektor na Asus ZenPad 10 pomocou pistolky, beznej odavacky (skus s nou "odsat" zemniace prekovene otvory 0,2mm) a nahlavnej lupy!

Perfect fit, better then the original one. No wait, it was the original one 😂😂 i got a good laugh 😍

I really enjoy your videos, great work!
Great video again. Nice to see you explain to people how you salvage or buy donor parts.
Would be cool to develop a database of compatibility as you find alternate parts and keep a list of replacement part vs device/model number.
But after creating alternative parts database his 100x5 usb box will loose sense.
Same here :) in the last 8 years I haven't thrown anything out and so there is a solution for all problems. Over 200 laptops and a lot of motherboards need a lot of space but you can't prepare better if you want to work in the repair business.

Amazing solution, those 500 ports, great idea.
I always improvise too, great video as usual keep it up
Thanks for the port ........very nice
I like the way you smile when work gets a success❤️
Thanks Brother
After second try, it was better than the original for real
You've heard it before. U are awesome :)
keep head up boss....
This red material is epoxy as far as I know. They use similar to keep in place BGA chips like CPU or GPU.
amazing connectors box
You are great
Good service knowledge and customer service💪, BRAVO.

That micro usb box is a life saver for sure
Do your shop ship to Nigeria
Your my idol n I’m learning a
Lot hopefully I can get better
Good technical information video Sir thank you
Hi. Good video. Can you tell me how much do you charge for USB port to replace? In Croatia, I can charge it 20$ (for a tablet like this).
I assume that when a port has been used from the port box then customers are able to buy replacement ports to make sure their boxes are stocked .. maybe quoting a valid port box customer code so you don’t get people just buying one or so ports from you

Hey Alex do you sell solder mask in your store?
northridgefix.com/product/premium-quality-solder-mask-3ml-with-plunger-and-needle/
Hello bro the reason i watch ur vedio is u look like saed afridi and ur way of explaining
What's the cost of the 500 port box?
is it possible to change a micro usb port to a usb c port? would be nice to upgrade old devices with usb c ports.
You can, but since the board is not designed for USBC, there is no advantage changing port to USBC. Charge speed and data transfer speed will remain the same.
Just buy a usb-c to micro usb cable.
How do I get a laptop schamtics board view. hp elitebook 8560p
Why don't you make some sort of filter for the usb ports? Like 2 feet, 4 feet, lips/no lips
I mentioned that a while back in one of the video but never got to do it. I have it on the to do list. Filter will definitely make the search easier, although it currently does not take me more then a minutes to scan thru the images.
Why didn't you remove the red epoxy by a cutter? Is it too much hard to remove it without heat?
This red glue is SMD glue that cured via applying heat, unlike regular black under fill getting it to glass state is near impossible as it's maximum strength point is around 260C and glass state around 400C, without special tool removing this staff is way harder then removing solder mask from PCB.
Actually when you encounter red glue first try scraping it without heat as some of the brand have lower strength at room temperature.
so do you get the box at a prorated cost? i mean if its missing number 26 id imagine it should be slightly cheaper right?
i have a question for you! if i ran out of one model, do you sell each types separately?
can u share about your microscope camera details
how can i get these type camera holder microscope
