    You can drastically reduce the probability of pins not soldering onto the board correctly by using the soldering iron to cover the pins with solder before you hot-air-solder the connector onto the board. This is good practice particularly for the hidden pins under the connector.

    The first replacement port seemed fine, and it's possible that the battery was just over-discharged. It looked like the battery had some protection in place and was slowly recovering, kind of like a 'wake-up' process.

    I went to school for electronics repair 25 years ago and have an assistant degree in electronics technology and have been repairing mostly musical equipment for the past 30 years now. You did a good job. My only criticism is that I would have changed the two smd caps, they are probably bad, just not bad enough to be grossly out of speck. As a Morrison, thanks for singing my cousin Jim's song on key at the end.

My end goal is to be able to repair old consoles and things as a hobby. I'd really like to mod an old ps2 with an SD card slot and hdmi out... I think I might be good enough to do that soon!

      @@talon12020 I have kids. I'm guessing they dropped it while they were charging it because they port only works if I manipulate the USB-C cable in a way for it to make "contact". I'm assuming I've if the solder points on the USB C is not "solid" but, I need more equipment to find out.

  • @nayt33z
    @nayt33z Рік тому +3

    love the song. I think hot dropping port with anchor points pre-soldered is a mistake though. Kinda hit or miss sometimes, and if not heat soaked long enough with the port in place (getting the port to same temperature as board), can cause cracked solder joints over time. It's more reliable to just solder the anchor points with a soldering iron after you've secured the pins first (pre-tinning the port pins helps a lot too). Regardless of how I personally feel about port dropping, you did an excellent job, absolutely love your video's, keep them coming!

  • @jasonpatterson8091
    @jasonpatterson8091 Рік тому +3

    I wonder if your battery was in sleep/recovery mode. It was completely discharged and if it had been for a while the battery chip turns itself off completely to avoid destroying the battery through self discharge. When this is the case it will start taking a tiny charge (like 0.01A) just to turn on the battery's circuitry and begin trying to charge the battery. If it can recover the charge in an appropriate way it then charges with more and more current until it can charge normally. If it doesn't charge normally it shuts down. That's pretty much what we saw, except that it worked the second or third time you tried.
