When I saw how tiny the area really was at the end, you called it a mess but I call it a masterpiece. It all looks so big on the close up I forget that it's zoomed in that far. Amazing work, I hope the customer was happy and it functioned again.
Looks like the customer tried to use a lighter and a 4 inch nail as a soldering iron.
Yep
Legend has it he did. 😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
after watching 5 minute craft
LOL
Ask the customer to take a picture and send it to you before the quote if they can. If not or they refuse, charge extra. This is the 21'st century. If they can text their Boss to have a sick day, they can send you over a photo of the damage! Anyway, full respect to you for finishing this abomination of a home repair.
I tried such repair only with heat gun I said there Is no way I will fix it cause I dont have even microsoldering station I have very stable hands etc but still no equipment well my point is if I fixed it I would have workin console for 15$ the cost of the heat gun if not then I go to ps5 well I messed up and I lost even one of the capacitors in the board next to hdmi but I cant imagine how a guy can rip soldering pads I work with phone repairs etc and never encountered broken pads he did good job on breaking them
I was thinking the same
@@HeLrAiSiNg1 goodness please use punctuations next time my dude
@@HeLrAiSiNg1 try putting a period in your sentences
@@HeLrAiSiNg1 have you ever heard of punctuation? well, what more do i expect from someone who attempted MICRO SOLDERING WORK armed with nothing but a heat gun....
Who else wanna see if it works or not?
No complaint from customer means it worked.
It worked and it was a good repair but pointless to mind as it's past the point of worth bothering the damage warrants just buying a new board and being done with it
@@baz7918 I see value in the knowing if somebody else can repair what was mangled. Perhaps because I seek after Christ, as I have done quite a botched job of it many times.
@@cybermaus the work wasnt warranted, so no point in the customer informing alex if the repair worked or failed.
wait... so the board was repaired but not tested? Did the customer just send the board, no rest of the playstation?
I had a record of 10 jumpers on this same model of board. It took me 3 weeks to figure out where to run the jumpers! I wish I had this video then, it’s definitely saved for next time!
You can get the schematics. After that it's easy.
@@socialengineer1441 sony does not provide squematics for fixing purposes, remember, they're bether if you buy another one.
@@tony001212 Dosent mean you cannot get them in some sort of Reddit forum. Someone somewhere has dealt with this before. There is a wealth of home brewed info on these things online.
@@stephenhood2948 "Cross your fingers and hope someone has done the hard work for you"
It's really not that hard to use a multimeter.
Not many techs would attempt that. Which ever way you do it, it always looks awful.
:)
@@Millzieeeee what's this FB group called?
Never done one that messed up but I’ve done several with 5 or so pads missing.
Don’t matter what it looks like long as it works!
I've done a fair bit of "blue wire" work, and it's always time consuming. I wish there had been videos like this when I learned how, you are providing a great educational service to future repair techs.
i watch a bunch of you newer videos and love them and think you are a very talented person in this trade... but after watching this video you have blown my mind on how good you are at fixing these items...you are a modern day badass my friend!! keep up the great work!!
There's no way this was worth your time! You definitely love what you do. Great work!
man right when he starts cleaning and the music is going its so satisfying to watch that mess get cleaned right up by his hands to the music love the quality of your work but i must say the quality of you videos is awesome as well it really conveys the felling you must get when cleaning this mess of a board because i feel it as well :)
I'm so impressed that you guys actually work on customer attempts. Where I work we vehemently deny anything thats been attempted by the customer because of this. Our company has a fixed or no charge policy and so many people bring laptops that look like they've been through a shredder for us to fix. If they don't tell us they've worked on it we'll spend hours trying, fail, and not charge them. Such a waste!
very impressive, love your professionality. thank you for sharing!
I am SUPER impressed by this, and someone already said but we were all thinking it already. Not many other techs would have even attempted to repair that hot mess of a dumpster fire.
What an amazing repair!!! if you look under the microscope you make it look easy but at the end if you see how small this all is... just amazing what skills you have.
Nice touch with the music background. After seeing this, I'm thinking about asking for photos when I hear they attempted to repair. And I thought the board from Jamaica was bad. This is why I call you the surgeon. Great patience. Great repair.
My god you are truly an inspiration sir! Hope you and Big Boss are doing great! Greetings from Sweden
You should get them to send in photos of both sides of the boards in these cases. You would at least have a chance of quoting a realistic price for your time.
Omg, why do people think they are microsoldering specialists. This boards chance of working is still good, but only because it's in the hands on a specialist. Good luck sir on this repair.
Someone tried their best to ruin the pads on the board and you still attempted to fix that. Respect+
You are such a virtuoso. It's inspiring to see you working.
On the PS4 I see repair shops do this all the on hdmi port repair, even experienced people that do microsoldering. The reason is the very thick ground plane and thick multi layer board. Trick is you have to use a preheater under and then hot air the top side and hdmi port will come out without lifting traces.
You deserve an award for this patience
Absolutely amazing. The fact you kept your price, still went for the repair, I mean... if that isn’t the biggest symbol of passion for your work and above and beyond service, I don’t know what is.
Speaking of passion though- where did you acquire the skillset to do this? Self-taught with tons of experience or do you have an EE degree?
I have an EE degree. If I attempted this job, it’d probably end up like the customer’s job :^).
University is great for learning about theory, electrical design, reasoning, etc. - but not really for hands-on skills like this. At least in my experience
@@playdo93 totally. I come from the other end, I’m a self-taught guy... but I always wonder if the concepts from formal EE training could fill gaps in understanding that self-teaching may miss.
This deserved my like. I would never try to do that, that's mad soldering skills right there, closest I would've done is scrape what's left of the trace and jump from there.
Northridge, o milagreiro, the king. 🙏🏻❤️
Some of those traces looked like balanced or transmission lines....I guess routing and path length matching not critical.
This is what i like. Reconstructing or making jumpers especially when the pcb is damaged.. great work sir!
A whole lot of mess because someone thought that he was the soldering king, amazing job 👋👋👋👋👋
King so hard work! Respect
Nice videos! I recently found your channel and it got me hooked. Did this actually work properly? I mean those are high speed HDMI data lines so I guess they originally had to be impedance matched?
congratulations, surgeon's job !!!
How do you keep those wires from shorting out to each other?
Ps. I heard him say they were insulated towards the end of the video..
Ya. You can see him burning off the insulation at the ends of each wire to prepare it for soldering.
Wires have a epoxy type coating, same wires in electric motors.
Master at his work. Super job 👍
I salute you for standing by your quote.
The pads looked like they got deleted out of the board entirely. Im a new subscriber and love what you do
True necromancy here!! Great job Alex, that board looked damaged far beyond repair.
A Man of few words and many wires.
I like it.
Also, I am only half way through this video, all I have to say is, you're a madman genius!!!
Nice that you gave it a try. Please let us know the customer satisfaction.
You are a very hard working professional sir
RIP track length tolerance
@@reacey some hdmi traces need to be the same length because of the differential pairs based on the spec and I’m sure there max are trace length requirements
Wow you did an amazing job on such a tiny spot
Nice repair hard work!
What wire are you using?
Happy New Year to you and your family I am a new supporter I found you a video today and I supporting your Channel
High Level Repair, respect 👍👍👍
Im from Phillipines i always watching you. Your so awesome when you solve the problem keep it up sir im watching your video tutorial and try it in actual i learn lots
A lot of respect 👍
I like your job so much very well
Very professional
Superb work!
Nice work!
God bless this hands bro you tha man
Awesome work 👌🏻
Hats off to you
awesome fine work
Nice video! What thickness copper wire did you use?
They sent you over an absolute Hiroshima. Mad respect for the patience and repair skills.
You added silicon over everything at the end?
Damn, you are an artist
I was about to say about the solder mask because there are a lot of wires there and with solder mask it will stay in place but you read my mind on the end of the video :)
I have come to two ... no... three conclusions watching your videos.
1. Get a bunch of scrap boards and practice, practice, practice.
2. Once I set up a device, stop pulling plugs. The plugs seem to be the weak points
3. If I have a device that I really want fixed right, send it to you
Very nice, i've recently buyed a notebook with the same problem on one ram socket. Since i had another broken one i tryed some repair, but as result i definitively broke also the other 😤
Holy crap. Crazy! So good.
Skills.... Respect 🙏
awesome work
@northridgefix. Did the customer ever inform you if this was functional?
Either way, great effort for such a small area
Those are impedance controlled differential lanes. They have some tolerance but when they design it length matching is about 1mm. I really wonder if it worked.
I know its a much older video, it came up as a recommended video to watch - did this work? Did you get feedback from the customer to say if it was successful or not it looked like a bit of a hard fix - and very impressed if it did work
Thanks for sharing
Holy moly, that's alot of jumper!
Excellent video. Must of taken a lot of patience. This is a dumb question... but what wire are you using? And why doesn't it matter that the wires are touching? At 16:40 you mentioned right at the end the wire was insulted - so guessing that's why they can touch, but I didn't see any insulation?
@@danielsatko- didn't realise it was transformer wire. Didn't know transformer wire was used for solder trace repairs. Cheers for the heads up! :)
Did it work at the end? Some follow ups would be nice
thank you
I enjoyed watching the video but you should have explained or mentioned how you found where the pins on the hdmi port connect to. I’ve briefly explained in some posts how you could have approached this problem, but a lot of people would have found this interesting.
you are a beast, beautiful job
I need to do this on my Xbox series x, because during a simple HDMI port replace(I bought a broken console), the heat got too extreme and obliterated the wires on the board..I don't even know if I can fix it, but seeing you pull this off gives me hope.
interstellar's docking
vs
N.fix's jumping wires
its not possibles but its necessary.
Absolute nightmare!
Spaghetti Monster! That's very intense work love all these videos it's like a treasure trove of knowledge presented in a very easy to understand how this works. Can't wait to start doing this kind of work.
and my local repair shop cant even solder hdmi port for a tv .... so sad :(
Good work bro
Que diámetro de alambre de cobre usas?Gracias de antemano,buen trabajo...
Super super impressive 👍
Look at that spider nest of wires great job!
Another proof why proper flux and solder use for microsoldering is paramount. What is the wire you used for connector pin connecting to their appropriate components?
Did it work? Thats alot of patience and would be a big reward at the end...
I would have sent it back. Great effort!
nice one, I saw electronic surgeon ! reminds me of soldering tv fibre..no bonding machine,
what iron tip are you using and what size awg wire are u also using will a 38 awg or 40 awg magnet wire work well with this small space and functionality situation?
That is brilliant work sir. Did it work for the customer?
That is also my question 😁
Is this wire insulated? I'm gonna buy some. I just realized that is a powerful tool too
Hi there and THANKS for the video!! You have inspired me to do the same because I got a free tv that the HDMI was kinda ripped out so there was about 5 good pads out of 19. So decided to order an HDMI connector and .34awg magnet wire. I got the same tip as you do but I wonder at what temperature do you have it on?? On the video your soldering of this very thin looks so easy to solder on, for me it takes time to be able to solder the wire to a pad or a place that I have scratched to solder on. Any advice on temperature and to make this thin wire solder on pads and scratched self made pad. THANKS!!!
Ok did the fix and it WORKS!!! THANK you very much for your video!!! I did a triple check with meter just to make sure no shorts!! So no land fill for this tv!!!
@@Sisko125 What temperature and what soldering tip did you use?
I'm impressed.
I have a question what wire was that one you was using for the PS4 not the soldering iron or the solder wire the something wire?
very nice, perfect video
Great work. My question when I try to do lifted pad repairs, how do you know where the pad connects to next in sequence without a service manual? Seems like guesswork to me
you do connectivity test with what is left of the pad and the nearby components.
better than factory? :) Awesome job Alex.
That was a micro surgery on some multi octopus tentacles.
Jeeeeeez!!! I would of binned that!
3, 4 or 5 jump wires yes but not the whole port 😂
Good job regardless
Not the whole port, just 99.9 percent of it XD
Would have*
What kind of wire do you use? Is it insulated? Brilliant work by the way.
yes insulated

I just saw the video and i was woudering the same..
I just repaired a PS4, I'm not a professional, but do electronics as a hobby (have decent microscope etc), was given it by a friend who has bought a replacement, just to have a play. Every single pad was ripped off. I basically did what you did for every pin, but only bothered with the pin 2 ground, leaving 5, 8, 11 and 17 not connected.
I've checked with a cut hdmi cord that every pin is connected as it should be (pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19) and that they are not shorting against each other etc.
The PS4 now works fine, had it on for hours, picture is 100% fine.
However, I have a Sony TV with 4 HDMI ports and my sky box plugged in. I have the HDMI control turned on on the sky box and usually if I press a button on my sky remote, it turns on both the Sky box and the TV. But when the PS4 hdmi is plugged in, regardless of whether it's on or not, turning on my Sky box doesn't automatically turn on the TV (or change input device), as soon as I unplug the PS4 HDMI the tv works as expected. Any ideas what's missing/wrong please?
It makes no difference whether I enable or disable the PS4 "Enable HDMI device link"
Thanks
