This is actually way trickier than I thought. I've managed to wreck one replacement port already. How to get solder to adhere to the holding "legs" by ensuring they're hot enough WITHOUT melting the plastic inside the port?! You made it look so easy!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- If a 5 star rating were to ever mean anything. All 5 would be yours. You & this video here are by far the best instruction video I've seen heard & understood completely the first time. Thank you kindly 👍🏆🥇
Can you make a video on tips for working the hot air gun? Please also share what kind of lamp you use . Thanks for showing tips on how to solder . This stuff they don’t show at school!
today I lifted my table while a kvm switch was in a bad position between the moving desk and wall, and yanked the micro USB port off the circuit board. Wondering if this is a better solution to purchasing new. I don't have the tools so might be better off replacing :( Thanks for video either way
Our big goofy fingers look so clunky under any type of magnification. You feel like you are being delicate and gentle then you see how jerky and sloppy your motions are. I always think "Do I really shake that much?"
The board I have has lost the solder in the surface mount pin slots so the micro usb port can’t make a connection, is there way to fill those slots back up with solder?
Just use liquid flux to fill the holes, then put solder on the iron tip and touch it to the holes and the solder will fill them up. Then you can use the hot air to let the part sink in.
Sir I wonder if you can please help me I’m disabled and I wanted to know do you have your own company that I can contact for some work done for some medical equipment that I have. How much do you charge and do you have a website that I can go to thank you.

Thank You!
I love how you go step by with your video now I understand
Thank you!
1:27 you blew off one smd resistor from the board
Haha 😄 nice eye
Looks like the tweezers knocked it off, then the hot air blew it away
Not only that. He also bridged ground to that pin.
Awesome video with excellent explanation. Really appreciate as it also shows how to test when all is good!
Thank you!
I didnt know this could be done at home. Well done!
If you have a hot air station

I have a problem with one of my old phones. The Alcatel OT-665A. The charging port is loose & it came off. So how can I make it work again? 🤔
I thought it would be difficult. I have to get the flux i have a heat gun so that should suffice. Thanks good vid
A heat gun is not the same thing
Use flux and low melt solder.
Does the port have to be the exact same for the replacement? I can’t find the micro usb female port that’s exactly like the one I need replaced.
You should try a few of them, if it solders down it should work.

when you have the pharameter uses the outside pins?, i mean the 5v In pin and the GND pin? i understood that the 3 middle pins are of data.
Yes, the outside pins are +5V and Gnd

Is the 60$ Hot Air/Solder Combo link from the description correct? Or has the price changed that much in two years? :D
I see $69 with a 10% coupon
Can I remove thr microusb and replace it with usb c?
No, you can't change it to a USB C, it has different board footprint, size, and wiring
nice fingernails!
Also those tweezers are very fine too!!
hello, what is the best temp in °c for this exercise ? i think 450?
380 C is what I use.
@@solderingironguide thank you :)
Would it work if the hot air was set to 200C?
I wouldn't set the air temp that low, set it around 360C or it will take too long to heat up that area.
@@solderingironguide My heat gun only goes to 200-250 C
Set it to 250 max, and that should work..depending on the pcb size may take a bit longer.
@@solderingironguide Thanks mate!
Hi, any recommendations for a microscope?
Sir I wonder if you can please help me I’m disabled and I wanted to know do you have your own company that I can contact for some work done for some medical equipment that I have. How much do you charge and do you have a website that I can go to thank you.
Sure, reach us at support at solderingironguide.com
Hi Tom, I went to the website that you suggested, but there’s nothing on there about Support just items of soldering material
CouldI use a hairdryer as a heat gun?
No, a hair dryer is not hot enough
@@solderingironguide Okay, thank you.
mini b USB very bad
Micro USB ports are total design fail...
When I tried this on a broken Samsung galaxy J5, it blew off all these tiny parts next to the port.🫣
