      Agreed, the joy of fixing stuff is clear for all to see. I would only disagree in that he didn't get lucky, he never does, it's his methodical approach that reaps rewards.

    I think that liquid damage was old and the drop likely knocked a ball loose in the area because of the weakened joints. Good call on the reflow! I also would bet that some moisture trapped in the IC caused it to blow it's ass out when hitting it with hot air. I have baked liquid damaged boards before rework that had chips I couldn't easily replace. Thanks for the video, very interesting one. I love following along troubleshooting with you. Becoming less of a challenge sometimes, maybe I am learning a thing or two!

    You remind me of that old mantra “if you love your job you never work a day in your life”. However, I know you work with the public so that isn’t always true 😢 Thanks for providing all of the content of the repairs, I do it as a hobby and you’ve helped out immensely with both motivation and tips in your videos

    @kaydog2008 Год назад +1

    Alex a nice iidea. If you took and printed 4"x4" inch before and after screen shots of the repair site. To mail back with customers items. That would remove all doubt and 4 sure boost your customer ratings even more.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😉👍Plus it would be another record of the repair.

  • @ImperialLightandMagic
    @ImperialLightandMagic Год назад

    I used to look after the estate of Blackberry devices for a large corporate. Lost count of the number of times a repair came in with "It just stopped working" tag, only to crack it open and all 3 water indicators to be red. One client even admitted eventually that their device got dropped into a pint of beer whilst drunk.

  • @LordAnubis0909
    @LordAnubis0909 Год назад +3

    looks like this was water damage from before and fall just loosen that chip. customer may have never connected 2 things.
    some time you just have to put your selfe in there shoos. his phone was dropt and now i can't turn it on. it's simple as that.
    Great work on repair, as always

    Hi Alex, loved the video as always, great work. Can you please talk about university and the impact it had on your life? specially in electrical engineering as it's the major that i'm studying, and it's my first year. I would really love to know your opinion and i'm sure other will also. I really got interested in board repairs with your videos! thank you

      I would what he does is atypical of a an engineer with a degree. The majority of us end up working for a major corporation doing complex developments in a highly bureaucratic environment. It can be really satisfying but this work he does is usually just something us engineers are jealous of. I'm in aerospace though so maybe it's different in other fields

    • @LatitudeSky
      @LatitudeSky Год назад +1

      Doing it as a data recovery, the data is the only thing that matters. The rest of the phone is just there to support that one last task. It does not have to do anything else and should not be trusted to do anything else. The danger in a situation like this is the device is now repaired and the person resumes using it as if there as no problem. The reality is, the phone is on life support on borrowed time. The only thing anyone should do is backup the data and move on from the device. It's life is over.
