      I took the basics using a Heat Gun for environmental splice shrink wraps and used that to reflow. Some other components were not happy about it. but got several of them up and running again while oversees. All but 1 lasted 2-3 years. WOuld have gotten more time out of them if I had the right tools and practice in that skill.

Imagine a component small enough to rest between the groves of your finger print. Thats about how small a 0,10 to 0,20 mm component is. And yet, with a tweezers and a steady hand you Can replace them. Just a Dahm good hint. Hold your breath! No joke, you Can blow The “dust” away 😀

      1. The manual skills, which are nothing but practice.
      2. For repairs such as this one, you need an understanding of how PCBs are actually put together such as understanding vias (the tiny holes that connect between layers), multiple layers.
      3. Most of the rest of it is just the knowledge of what the board is doing, what it should be doing, and what it shouldn't be doing. This is just something that you learn through necessity. Researching for new problems, and learning from experience.

    This is exactly why I don't touch things I know I will not be able to fix. If data is important, I always point the customer to you or Jessa. I don't even want to do B2B, I'd rather get the customer a direct line to the actual person repairing their device. Unless of course it's something I legitimately messed up on accident, in which case I do everything I can to do right by the customer, no matter the cost.
    I've learned a lot of valuable things from your channel over the years. I would say the most valuable thing has been how to value time. I think a lot of people in this industry massively devalue how much time it takes to repair their own screw ups. No way in hell I'm gonna use a customer's device loaded with very important data as a guinea pig. I wish more repair shops had this mindset, it would make all of our lives a lot easier. You are a great person for putting up with this industry's crap.

    There's a simple rule in everything: start with simple things to gain experience and only after that, go for more advanced things otherwise you'll damage everything beyond repair. Buy cheap damaged things and try to do your your best. This way you'll get more experience and if you ruin something, it'll cost next to nothing, you'll learn from your mistakes and no real harm will be done. One very important thing: if you think that something isn't repairable, store it properly for a later attempt, don't throw it as it is already garbage because many of the times you'll probably be able to do some magic later and fix it even if it looks like it's not fixable at the time you can't yet fix it.

      I don't do repairs and I am astonished at the size of the components that look soooo huge under the microscope. A 1.4mm long resister looks a whole lot more manageable when seen under the microscope and unless viewers have physically looked at a board then they will get no sense of how far king tiny the components are. Absolutely amazing that these parts can be plucked off and replace and the device goes back to a fully functioning device (not this one obviously) and the owner is happy and unaware of the micro-surgery involved.

    Seeing as you have the best setup ive ever seen in desk repair equipment it does kind of startle me that you use probes with the micro equivalent of the end of a fire poker to probe really small stuff. Ive been digging around in stuff from the 1980's till today doing repairs for people on their prized and treasured electronics. All my micro probing equipment, ive made special ends for the multimeter and scope probes out of a standard probe end and soldered a sewing pin to each probe end, converts a standard probe to a micr4o probe end and then used some wire insulation to slide the pin through to protect the main shank leaving a 3mm visible stainless steel tip. Put a piece of heat shrink on the former probe and an et vuala, a micro probe end that doesnt cross micro spaced boundaries and also makes for a better connection using the point of a pin rather than a full on probe end. Build cost, less than a dollar and gives me a far clearer view of the contact im probing.
    A Merry Xmas to you and a very happy New Year. Superb video and very engrossing

    great job. when you soldered to the ground pins, I thought it looked strange, but with no experience with the schematic software I figured maybe it wasn't a visual match and you knew what you were doing. When you figured it out, I shouted to myself 'hey, you suck as much as I do! I'm watching you to suck less!' : ). Admire your even temper and dogged determination that got you there. I work only with through-hole, watching microscope repairs is both fascinating and terrifying. but that bit when heated BGA chips slip into place, so satisfying.

I do appliance repair and learning to fix boards and understand their components will really raise my game and make me more money fixing boards instead of just replacing the entire board. A lot of people don’t want to pay what it cost to replace the entire board either.
