Thank you so much for your videos, within a short period of a few months you have helped me reach the next level in electronics repair that I've been struggling with for many years. I have watched hundreds of RUclips Electronics tutorials and your skills and videos are top notch. Thanks again and God bless.
Beautiful work 👍 You introduced me to low-melt solder and it makes life so much easier with complex component removal in heat sensitive areas 👍👍 Thank you Alex for the effort you put into your videos.
I set up a home repair station recently and I bought my flux and solder from you. Much better than the 'amazon special' solder and flux, way more pleasant to work with.
This video was the best ahaha. I like when you smack the Benz Fob key on the table when try to take the mother board. ahhaha. Hope you see this comment. Hi from all the way to Guadalajara, Mexico.
Please do a video on lsr tester. Many people want to know how to use one. Should components be on board or off and what happens when testing on the board and the components are parallel.
The round pads are in-line test points similar to what you would use on a bed-of-nails tester. Very common to find these on circuit boards. The discoloration is merely tarnish of the finish on gold plating. That doesn't affect the signal propagating along the trace so you didn't really need to use a grinding pen - that does nothing.
You used low melt solder to remove the old connector, that is as usual but then you applied a different solder. What was that solder? I thought you only used the same low melt on all your repairs. You said the name of it but I couldn't catch it. Was it "BEST"? Just wondering Sir. Thank you for all your great instructional videos.!!
Low melt solder is only used to desolder. It lowers the melting temperature so you do not have to apply a lot of heat. You can find low melt solder at northridgefix.com/product/low-melt-solder-stick/. Solder used afterwards is Best Leaded. You can find it at northridgefix.com/product/best-solder-wire-roll-100g-0-3mm/. All items we used are found on our site.
low melt is just for temporary work, alex always cleans it up afterwards. you don’t want your device to start losing components and connections when it heats up a bit.
We stopped accepting Paypal. They charge almost twice the credit card transaction fees. they do not refund fees in case of returns and they charge additional fees in case of disputes. I see no reason to keep using them when credit card is an option without the fees. With the large volume of orders we get. it's a no brainer.
Capacitors cannot be tested while soldered on the board as you are testing the capacity of the whole line. Also I do not think this component is a cap but rather an inductor or filter.
Yes the capacity of the whole line will show. But even with that, if it reads an abnormal (low) value it's enough to indicate to you the capacitor is faulty. If you are interested to know the "true" value of the capacitor of course you would need to pull it out. That purpose was to check for a strange value, especially when he has a donor board to compare it with.

Magical hands! Every time I see your episodes I learn something new! Thanx
I love the routine of switching things off at the end of the video 😂 Good job on finding that cap to be the issue 👍
please Sing every time you start cleaning the boards. I fell in love with that singing part from that video.
Alex , you inspired me with your work, i am now in the process of starting my own repair shop here in Canada, Keep up the good work
As always, we are amazed at your works. Your help is a blessing to many. Keep up!

Thank you for repairing keyfob while ago. Works well and really appreciate it
Man your so good Im tempted to get into this but you make it look easy when it takes lots of practice,
Very nice video. I like how you solder the flexcable perfectly everytime. Nice work on benz-key too. Thank you for that video. Greets
Hi Alex, Thank you for your frequent posting, greetings from Amsterdam! Love your content and say hi to big boss from his fans!
_Alex, thanks for the 2-For-1 repair video!_ 👍
As always, a great video and a great job you have done there.!

Always a pleasure to watch and learn.
Thanks for telling me that I need to put solder on the old connector before removing it. I was using flux + hot air and always ripped pads..
He is using low melt solder too for ease the job
@@sadaqatali5712 low melt to the rescue
Looks Better than factory 👌
What is the best way to clean electronic pcb boards ? what do ya use Alex ? isopropyl alcohol ?
The round pads are in-line test points similar to what you would use on a bed-of-nails tester. Very common to find these on circuit boards. The discoloration is merely tarnish of the finish on gold plating. That doesn't affect the signal propagating along the trace so you didn't really need to use a grinding pen - that does nothing.
I think Alex knows that. He mentioned he thought might be corrosion... So he used the pen to check the trace lol
How will you know the capacitor is bad without comparing it to the good one. Is there no continuity test
Hi Alex, what temp and airflox settings do you use to remove the ipad connector after low melt solder?
You used low melt solder to remove the old connector, that is as usual but then you applied a different solder.
What was that solder? I thought you only used the same low melt on all your repairs.
You said the name of it but I couldn't catch it. Was it "BEST"?

@@NorthridgeFix Thank you SIR!!
good job mate.
Love this channel
Since everyone is choosing expedited service, you should charge an even higher rate for that service.
greetings from uk alex ..great video as always ..
cheers 👍
Where can I purchase the key fob tester? What type do you have?
Nice job Alex
Hee Alex is it possible u tell prices when u done with a mobo fixed or not?
Great vid! Love your work!
better then factory!
Hello Alex, what temp settings are u using on you're solderingiron whil using the solder from best.
Good work
You need some kind of central on-off switch to save some time :D.
better than factory
Long time didn't seee any graphics card videos, do you still get those for repair?
Today on "This Old FOB" ...
Thanks for watching !!
You often mention low melt soldier. Why would the factory use high melt soldier? What is the different or value to use one or the other?
low melt is just for temporary work, alex always cleans it up afterwards. you don’t want your device to start losing components and connections when it heats up a bit.
nice job alex
good morning alex
You are blessed by God
FINALLY FOB repair 😁
Awesome.
How does the flex cable fail if it's fixed and not moving or bending?
Possible internal corrosion maybe
It's The connector that is part of the flex cable that fails.
I'm not familiar with the issue but looks to me like again apple saved cents where they shouldn't have
Awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍👍
Is PayPal not a checkout option on your website anymore??
We stopped accepting Paypal. They charge almost twice the credit card transaction fees. they do not refund fees in case of returns and they charge additional fees in case of disputes. I see no reason to keep using them when credit card is an option without the fees. With the large volume of orders we get. it's a no brainer.
Good Job
Awesome
Came in for charging port replacement
