I know my basic electronics but I've never repaired anything SMD/IC related
Followed you for a while and I figured heck why not! Bought myself a entry level hot air station and I've successfully repaired a HP Elitebook 840 G6 with a fried charger IC
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Wow, that's awesome. How was your experience working on that HP EliteBook repair? Any unexpected things that were on the way?
Hi Osmosis,
I've been thinking for the last month to get into electronics repair, I already have some standard equipment, but I was wondering, which hot air station did you purchase? Because I've been looking for a while and I do not know which one to purchase. I have a high end laptop that I want to repair(atleast,it was high end when I bought it.) But it has been sitting for years and years.
@@T-money0985 In principle you’d really like to test at least the removal part on something that’s garbage anyway.
Where do you learn this stuff?
thats great. knowledge is power.
The joy on Alex's face when he finishes one of these difficult repairs is magical. Great video and congratulations on a challenging repair.
I'm a chemist, don't know anything about the type of electronics you fix, but every fix you do is really magical. it makes me stay to the end of the video to see what happens.
Subscribed.
Customer says: “the switch does not power on”
Customer means: “the switch was dropped in the ocean please help”
Fun fact, Maybe he really don't know it is water damage lol
@@mistsemy1522 they always know lol
@@JMDangler though small there is a chance someone dumped liquid on it without the owners being aware
@@JMDangler rain :)
@@mistsemy1522 if the water damage inside the switch is this bad, they put on a poker face.
Water damage? what do you mean.... the switch doesn't charge or power on. fix it.
I just got into repairs. Already bought my station, a lab PSU, magnifier, tweezers, flux, stencils and other complementary things. So far I have repaired ONE GTX 780 where I had to replace a memory chip. I have reballed it 2 times and did 1 reflow with 2 chips and it felt amazing to see it come back to life! Should be good for a while :D
Without courage I would have never got here. And it is not just because of you, it is because the community as a whole. I have met amazing people while working on it. Will try to fix more and more electronics in the future
Most funny part. 18:41 I laughed out so loud my son woke up😂😂
I know boss you will like my comment
Yessss.. Love you teacher.. i wanna be with you and learn but I'm from very very far away.. hope someday I'll meet you. I'm also mobile repair man❤️
It‘s always a joy to watch your amazing SMD soldering skills Alex! Still struggling to get all my movements coordinated when working with the microscope camera. Needs lots of training and you are the grandmaster of soldering make it look so easy! 👍👏😃
You should add a "Better than factory" section to the forum where members could brag with their DIY repair skills :D
27min repairing a switch, i'm in paradise with your repair videos
That satisfaction when a hard repair turns out well. It’s like a drug!
Amazing what can happen in a space of two years, weldone on the growth of the channel. I for one, I am not in this field of work, far far removed, but I find these videos therapeutic. Weldone, keep up the good work!!
Therapeutic, yes, Amen to that! 🍾❤️
I love every time you say "so it can fly to another dimension". That is so true in so many instances with tiny items, especially with tweezers. I enjoy your video's. I have always wanted to figure out how to diagnose and fix my electronics and stuff for the kids and friends. I've been buying all the equipment lately and just waiting on a thermal camera (UNI-T UTi260B that you gave a few reviews on), and a voltage injectors (DC adjustable power supply). Thanks for your videos and not being like most people thinking everyone is going to steal work from you. I'm sure you have increased your customer base with these video's anyhow as you do excellent work!
Fair play for taking the time to take this on. Excellent 👍
In my busy life i find this channel absolutely relaxing and satisfying, keep up the good work.
Your soldering skills are remarkable! I've watched , and done a lot of soldering in my time. You have a gift !
Love the channel , Great content.
Its hard to find someone you trust in this field one could assume your popularity is due to your honesty and hard work, you just don't see it anymore. Kudos to you and your success!
bro I absolutely love watching your work and listening to your instructions. you are the best I've seen and wish all my professors at University were like you. You are extremely professional and extremely proficient at you work. thankyou for taking the time to make your videos and help others. much respect to you and I pray God blesses you your family and your business. God Bless brother be safe and stay healthy!
Amazing skills.
Im a low voltage tech in the life saftey field.
In the past 6 months ive been replacing a great deal of fire alarm panels. Sometimes surge damage or faulty relays. Whatever the case, after discoving your chanel ive gained massive respect for your ability to revive circuitry in lue of creating waste and incurring heavy expense on customers.
Always a pleasure to watch you work.
I learn so much from watching you and your impressive techniques with repairs. Thank you for the continued great content!
i saw how it fixed itself... the dry humor is always what keeps me coming back 😆😆... hilarious.. all the right tools make working on boards a dream to watch.. good work buddy!
Brilliant work Alex, so good to see a true professional dedicated to his work and also with some added humour. 👍👍👍👍
What i like about this video, specifically, is.. at the end of the day you are running a business, and have left us to run your business , re all those ACER's you fixed, yet you come back on here and spend an extradent amount of time repairing this Switch. and an even more amount of time actually making this video. Well done sir, and although i haven't used your forum, that also shows us you deserve to be on youtube and congrats on the 1/4 million subs.
thank you for your videos! i have come far in board repair thanks to videos like yours and others. always watch yours because you often say when you change or are doing something like; diode or continuity mode, turning hot air flow down or switching over to a donor board. i wish you the best!
Beautiful...very nice job. Never say "it will be a no fix" to a liquid-damage. Positiv thinking and you will get the job done. Such a nice repair. Great. Thanks for that video. Greets
This guy needs more subs he's one of the most skilled soldering guy I've seen on RUclips nice and clean work.
Thank you again for showing us your daily business. It seems to be normal these days that the customer only provides minimal information - according to the logic - every word in the error description costs extra. Your type of service is probably not cheap, but it is relatively unique. In your videos you document your work for us, combined with your ironic comments - always a pleasure for me - thank you for that
I don't often comment and usually just click like. But this video is worthy of a comment. Many would not have attempted replacing the components after seeing the mess caused by what looked like liquid damage. But with your experience you decided it was worth the risk and cleaned away the mess and replaced the damaged chips and corroded capacitors and filters. Great fix!
Congrats on your 250K subs! Really nice work as always, love how the MAX chip flowed perfectly in to place first time. Frustrating when you get an incomplete problem report, being as through as you can saves time, money, even if it hurts the customer's dignity to admit the device got dunked in the toilet or something!
Customer may be way beyond embarrassed... trying to give a bit of exception.
Another job well done. Even leaving your bloopers in, great stuff.
I don't care how narrow that nozzle is, if i was using it i would be melting everything!
I find it very interesting to watch a professional carry out this type of repair, excellent work.
You’re troubleshooting skills are top notch! You’re deadpan humor is also pretty good 😂
Yes that solder braid-hot tweezers technic is awesome, I always amazed everytime you do it, Alex. 👍
This is what I love about RUclips you never know what you may find and I just happened on this channel and I love watching a Grand Master plying his trade. Thoroughly enjoy your videos Alex great work.
Thanks for the mentor-ship you are doing to the population, let the struggle continues.
this is my first time seeing the tweezer wick technique and now i actually have a reason to use tweezer soldering iron amazing thank you sir
MIND BLOWN - always thought it was NorthbridgeFix
The customer would find it less expensive to buy a good used Nintendo Switch on E-bay. A great repair job that few online could do successfully. Also, I started watching your videos only 2 weeks ago. Your videos are excellent practical "show me how to do it" training videos for those high school students and college students interested in computer and electronic device repair.
love to watch you work ,great job. Obviously had alot of practice.
First time I've seen a BGA replacement. Very satisfying.
Love watching your videos Alex. Please keep it up. There has got to be no chip shortages in the 9th dimension.
Great fix, and great technique with the solder wick, very neat 👍
Great job!! I’ve fixed /built computers as a hobby for a lot of years, completely self taught. Worked on other electronics also. A local computer repair used to give me things to mess with, a lot of it was fixable.
Laptops, desktops, pc and Mac. Receivers, game consoles, dvd players the list goes on!! I told the neighbors “ before you toss electronics out, let me look at the items, one time I fixed a item and made a good amount of money, I didn’t expect to get anything, but the person said here, when I got the $520.00 in cash, I was like “ WOW, why, it was a easy fix.. the person showed me the cost of the item! I looked that model up. My jaw dropped!
Back then It was alot. He told alot about my work and how I had it done fairly fast ( testing it, cleaning up before and after working on it. I always did this : before ANY repair I took photos before and after the repair, not only of the work area but the entire items housing, then if there were any marks, I had proof of what scratches / marks I didn’t make or did.
Hi Alex. This is way I started watching your videos! That’s an amaze repair! Thanks!
That was a ton of work Alex! Great job. =)
Alex your technique's are gold! 😎 Happy Easter!
An amazing repair. Very surprised that with such damage near MAX and P13USB chips it's still alive!
Such a skilled guy, honest and honourable. Other technicians take note................
Nice fix Alex . Keep up the good work .
Alex amazing work- electronics soldering repair - love the way you cover the boaed inspect

Very informative and well done. Thank you for making this video. I learned a lot from this
Amazing repair Alex!
Alex, you are a genius! Greetings from Argentina successes and thanks for your videos. Trinorte Tecno
It’s incredible how components right next to extreme corrosion can look perfectly clean.
Beautiful job mate, you are beyond an expert
I've watched many of your videos, I proper spat out my coffee when that chip flew off the board, and you said thats the chip showing us it fixing itself. so funny!
Wie immer - Top gemacht !
True Professional: Stumbles onto complete and utter carnage of the most malefic manner, and continues forward inspecting the battlefield without a pause.
I am nowhere near an expert in this stuff but these videos are something to space out to.
how much i learn from your channel is amazing. thanks alot
I know right!! The amount of information and tips and tricks is amazing! This guy is a repair GOD :)
This is the bestest video you have like ever ever done !
very relaxing video and funny moments. Thankyou for the therapy!
You do awesome work I've learned a lot from watching you. I'd like to ask where do you get specs (specific measurements) for determining what different chips and resistors should be reading for all those different devices? Keep up the good work.
WOW WOW you exceeded yourself alex ....leonardo de alex ..like the switch was a painting you created a masterpiece of micro soldering ..a real pleasure to watch ...
Great work Alex!
“As it fixed itself…just like that” lolololol. You’re hysterical ❤
Alex your skill is fantastic ! Great job !
Working on this one was a risk, good job. Bravo ya khayyeh
Love watching repairs done to electronics, it makes my heart glad.
But I laughed harder then I should have when that chip went flying. ^^;
You are great.really like the explanation and fixing clearly.
this is my second viewig of your channel, its an amazing skill, and really talanted. I really wanna do this aswell haha. Seems so fun.
Nice work mate
I got three days waiting for your videos.
Great job. Key is having a good view.
Awesome videos, thanks for sharing!
Kudos from Kenya Alex , I wish you could also do videos on ecu and module repair for vehicles and trucks . Great Man 😊😎
I like your smile when it switched from 12v to 9v
Yo that solder wick in the tweezers trick is genius, I see why it blew up the channel. I'm gonna have to steal that.
You are a magician ! Well done !
Hey dud. Please tag for part 2 of video if you not finish the job. We want to watch your job. From you start until finish of one project. And the job done satisfied.
Well-done Alex amazing video as usual 👍
Great job, i hope you make some videos about the new tools you using
Great work. Thanks for sharing
mannnnnn, I am addicted to these videos-...
With as much time as you spent on that, wouldn't it be cheaper for the customer to either buy a new one, or just simply buy a new board?
I'm always impressed with your work. You're thorough and always to the point. Love it! Keep up the good content.
Data is attached to the board. If the motherboard was swapped, it's all lost.
@@DaMu24 they don't have a cloud save system? LOLOL what is this 1997?
18:42 I guess it did not want to be there. Gave me a good chuckle!
Great job, greetings from the Czech Republic. 👍
I like the way you are building confidence in me
i like how you straightened the capacitor. thank you lol
Again a awesome job 👍
Good video as always.Im startin g my Electronics internship on monday.
This was not a repair, this was straight up necromancy😮 you have awsome skills!❤
