Great video mate! Nice and clear, not too long. For me personally, I just came here for the motherboard repair part, to see how someone else tackled the soldering part before I attempt it for the first time with only one new connector I don't want to make a mistake and destroy my only good connector :D I like your technique of using the hot air with the solder wick to remove the solder from the holes that the iron failed to clear. I've used that technique for wicking BGA pads and similar, I never thought to try it on PTH. It's so much gentler than using a soldering iron tip and less likely to affect the solder mask and silk screen or pull pads/traces. Hope you keep making videos, I think if you enjoy the process and just keep making them you'll grow a subscriber base and generate business from it. With some voice commentary it would be even better :) BTW, I skimmed through 2 other videos and yours is the best in my opinion. Northridgefix melted the plastic in his connector and Power Jack Repair seems to use a hot air rework station constantly which is a method I'm not familiar with and don't have any way to replicate. Thumbs up and subbed. Thanks for the video.
Think it helps to put some flux on the old solder (after port removal) joints to help with wicking! The number on the old port, is that a reference number or a kind of part number? Great video! Half the work is just removing the Mobo! Do you have a similar video where you reome / replace a USB - C on a Dell laptop mobo?

Great to hear that you liked my video. Even though it's too busy repairing, I will keep try to post more repair videos as much as possible. Thank you!
Works for me, thanks for the info! Great job you done
Im happy to help.

@@j.lietka9406 you are right. You can order it from Aliexpress.
Thank you for the video! What is it that you use to wipe down the connections points, on what looks like a cotton bud?
99% isopropyl alcohol with cotton swap...Qtip.
@@computergeeksrepair thank you!!
What wick do you use in this video?
Gootwick 3mm
What the air pressure should be?
max air level
Hi there! Very good and clean job. I'm interested what's the air flow percentage when you desolder/solder the connector. Thanks for the video.
Max flow when removal, 6/10 when blind solder.
could i mail you my motherboard to make this same repair on mine?
Sure you can. Are you in Canada?
Do you have a Link to this port?
