The thing is he knows that he can plug and unplug that usb stick 100 times and it will still work as what he did was a good fix.Yes it's not a fix that will last long if you want to still use that usb stick and he wouldn't recommend it i'm pretty sure but he knows that he fixed it and he's confident enough to unplug it and plug it back in knowing it will work.
@@Adrian_Finn in reality if you a doing a data recovery you extract the data a put in another drive but he say recovery data but he is not doing that he is repairing the drive if the customer what to do a backup need to do itself , if i say recovery i charge like 300 if is a repair i can say 100 dollar , is depend of the bussness model
Great win! A desperate customer always adds to the pressure. Promise of more work is almost always fruitless. I’m sure he will be pleased. 👍 from me. 🇬🇧
Great work! As strictly a hobbyist I had a case from a friend, I just tried to solder wires (of an USB plug + wire taken from a dead mouse ...) to the pads corresponding to USB2 only (I hadn't got even a proper SMD mountable plug ...). Oddly enough it worked, and I can save the data (interestingly one computer does not want to read it properly, another one though managed to do so ...). Surely it was VERY FAR from the quality presented by this video :) but it managed to survive the backup process until one of my lame soldering points gave up :)
This is going to be a long comment.Don't expect you to read it :) I guess my question would be "where did he take it the first time and those guys were not able to do what you did?" I never had anybody teach me soldering but i did teach myself with broken boards when there was nothing more to lose other than trying.In the beggining it was clumsy but eventually i got good at it even though i had no proper tools like you do.Let me point out i never studied anything electronic related but i could have fixed that usb stick like you did because i've fixed broken boards with missing pads before.It would take me more time as i had no circuit diagrams or anything to help me but eventually i would find out where it's supposed to be connected.I admire what you do and you obviously have a lot of experience which makes it easier to fix stuff.For example you get an item that you never dealt with before and it will take you a lot of time probably to find what's wrong exactly with it especially if you don't have diagrams like xbox ps4 etc but after that you know where to look which makes it much easier.Watching videos of you fixing stuff reminded me of that time when i was fixing cash registers.And yes i know yours is much more complicated as you deal with lots of different items and that's why it triggered the part in me and want to get back into it.Hopefully i'll save some money and buy whatever i need to start doing it as a hobby mostly.Who knows it might turn into a business too.But for me is just something i enjoy doing.The greatest satisfaction is when a customer says "I've tried x amout of stores and nobody was able to fix it" and then you do it without much stress.This is what motivated me to fix stuff in the first place.The look on the customers face when i tell him "hey i fixed it" when others couldn't.Keep doing what you're doing and keep posting videos.I'll try and get back into this fixing electronics thing but first i'll have to read a few things about them as i only know how to test things for shorts and stuff.I obviously know what a capacitor is or a resistor but never read about more into detail and nobody else in the company knew.These videos will for sure help people that want to try and fix stuff themselves but remember guys it's not easy.If you want to get into this kind of thing go for it as it's amazing but to get hands on experience i'd say start messing with stuff that you don't need fixed because trust me you will mess up in the beggining, so get yourself electronics you don't need and practice on them until you feel confident enough.Then start by solving problems.Keep up the good work and keeping customers happy.Don't mind the ones that will complain about stupid things.That's how the world works and there's nothing you can do about it.I myself would be pretty confident leaving something broken at your store than one that i don't know how they do things, even if that store had x1244356546 more 5 star reviews than you.I just saw how you approach everything and how you go about fixing stuff hands on and that doesn't compare to any review.
Very professional work sir! Seems very easy for you to solder, i bet it takes a lot of practice. Great job on this bro! Customer will feel great after knowing he's flash drive is fixed and precious data are recovered!
Thanks for sharing this was very cool to watch, got a bios chip I think I need to replace so the soldering techniques you show here will be very helpfull.
Wonderful repair as always. Great to see such to the point repair videos. Upload more and more great work. I am also a youtuber and uploading videos for my viewers.
See, Usb 3.0 is backwards compatible with usb 2.0. So, with just 4 wires connected to a random usb 2 male jack could have made it much easier. But yeah read write speed would have been slow. But yeah data could have been recovered more essily. Still, your method is good. I like it.
Hey that was super neat didn’t know why I could be in there if that was a problem but glad you could fix it and I was sure hope we had to have more business
ALEX, I would very much like to know what you overcoat the jump wires with. I would've just gone for UV cure solder mask, but is the 'overcoat' you use any different/more suitable? Really enjoying your videos as always 👍
I was curious to know what alcohol concentration do you use? 50%, 75%. 99% because it seems to take a little bit longer to evaporate than others I have seen or used myself.
Great repair video’s, too much to learn from. I have a question though, have you ever repaid apple iPod shuffle ? Cus I have one laying around which is not powering on. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance 🙏 😊
Mario Power I have already changed the battery 🔋 and also checked if any component got blown, But Everything’s okay. Don’t know maybe I’ve skipped some component or the cpu is causing the problems.
This is not a beauty contest and i don't have three hands, Hilarious comments and he says it with a straight face lmfao, it has been a while since i laughed
Did you not transfer the files to another drive? If he is gonna give you more buisness maybe you could transfer the files to a other drive. USB drives aren't that expensive anymore.
Goodness... That was not a good job at all... Jumper wires should be soldered much further away from the connector pads, so that when you place the connector on top and try to solder it on top of them, they don't melt the solder joints at the original traces. And then UV curable solder mask on top as a strain relief. Yes, it may work the way it's done in the video, but that's a sloppy job and won't last. It's the second time being disappointed from the content of this channel, showing how to do a bad job that won't last.
Unplug??? I'd be getting those files off as fast as possible. :))) Another great repair. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah it makes me nervous when he unplugs and re-plugs before getting the files off. lol Great repair though.
Hahhahah me too , i was like nooooo

Solder wick, such a great invention.
I just fell in love with this man. I wish if he could be In Pakistan i will go to his shop and pay his fees to learn from him. Keep it up Boss.

How hot was your iron during this? I’m trying to do the same with my flash drive, and I too, have two pads missing
Hi there greetings from Scotland. Learning a lot from your videos. Can you tell me what the "overcoat layer" pen thing that you used is ? Thank you.
Thank you for another great video Alex!. Firstly, what is the overcoat you are using?. Secondly, you need a receptionist 😂

Nice clean job .
Great repair, thanks for sharing. What type of soldering station are you using??
So satisfying 😊
Well impressed 👍
how mush commonly you charge for recovery data in a drive like this?
What was that hardening thing he using at 6:40 ?
Solder mask.
He is simply the best

Could be many reasons (short in circuit or dead battery prevent charging or powering up).
