Fantastic video, thanks a million. Waiting for a new port to arrive today, much to my son's impatience :o) I thought there would be soldering involved, but the last time I soldered a component to a PCB was at university about 30 years ago! I wasn't familiar with the variable melting point solder pastes, nor the heat sink paste. I'm very glad now that I found this how-to first before cracking anything open. Still a bit daunted mind you, small-soldering skills will be rusty after so many years. My old iron is butane-powered. I also have a mini butane torch with controllable gas and air feeds that I use for brass and white metal from time to time. If held far away enough from the PCB might that work instead of the heater thingy you set to 500? Perhaps I'm better investing in a controllable temperature electric iron? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
There are some decent solder station with both the heat gun and soldering iron combo for relatively cheap price. I’d recommend they for this repair at minimum.
Hey man, great video! Still new to these repairs, so was wondering why you remove the heat sink from the motherboard? Does it get in the way or take heat damage from the soldering?
Great question. In this case it’s in the way. Most of the time it has to come off to even get to the part that needs to be repaired and to also have the angle you need with a soldering iron.
@@katday6299 Not sure what you mean...without adding new solder to it? Not a good idea, to be honest. The way he does in the video would be best, to ensure you have good connections on all the pads. Hope that answers your question?
i want to do this to fix my nephew's xbox but then again i dont have all these items you used lol, can i get by with just like a soldering iron/pencil and some flux and soldering wire?
No you can not. A rework station, low melt solder, and a few other things are essential to getting this done. Is it possible? Theoretically. Will you do more harm than good? Probably
Unless you make a living doing this kind of stuff i would say its not worth it after you have to buy all that crap to put the port into place its probably more expensive to do this than buying a new system which is sad but seems to be the reality
Can you give me the exact list of items I need to purchase to be able to do this?

Ahh okay cool, thank you so much!
I'm trying to replace my son and I got everything out can I repai it without soldering new iron to it

Is it easy too do when you try your first time
What microscope do you use?
Do you mind adding some links please that would be awesome!
What setting do you have the solderingniron at? My factory solder won’t come out of the footings
You’ll want to use flux, wick with the iron and rework station at the same time to clear the holes.

Is ur shop located in the us?
Can you fix my series es I'm in Rhode Island
Will this repair work even if I don’t have a heat gun? Like could I desolder everything one by one?
No you can not. A rework station, low melt solder, and a few other things are essential to getting this done. Is it possible? Theoretically. Will you do more harm than good? Probably
That’s a perfect response!
bonjour merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo
Why is playing music with lyrics in the background of a tutorial even a thing?

It isn’t as long as you have a solder
