    Nice collection of tools. Nice video. A few things I didn't see in the video are as follow - Disposable one-time use gloves ( Nitrile ) are the type I like. I have come to like using a Head-Light flashlight along with Led equipped electric screwdrivers from a kit like the IFix it you showed but with a greater number of bits and extra tools in the kit. The { Toaster } I have also has an IDE slot in addition to the 2 x sata slots. My toaster also has built in multi-format card reader on the front panel and a usb 3.0 port on the back. The IDE slot hsa a connector for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives.

    Software tools are a must have when working on any computer. Most of the problems I encounter are software related.

    Safety goggles, anti-static surfaces, masks and/or hand sanitizer if you're going to be doing a lot of soldering. Flash drives/LiveCDs of low-end Linux distros, rescue discs etc.
    Also have a work order system and a printer, so you have records and documentation of the shizz you've worked on and how much the charge was. You never know.

    Nice full set of tools/parts. I only work on PC's once in a while and have found parts from old PC's have helped a lot. I blow out desktops the same way. A leaf blower is to powerful IMHO. I have a set of individual rubber handle small tip screwdrivers like your Stanley which is probably used any time I'm working on a PC or laptop. I've re-magnetized them a few times. I don't have all those removable tips like the Ifixit set. I have separate tips for my power drill that I use out in the trade work but prefer individual tools (screwdrivers, nut drivers, etc.) when possible, I even have a soldering de- soldering air tool like the one I saw you use for a laptop port a couple years ago. I think it's been used once for an old style ohm meter (Simpson) that used to require the batteries to be soldered. The soldering gun wouldn't do it. I think it was the solder being the wrong kind that caused all the trouble. High temp solder.

    Using a shop vac can create static electricity that can damage components on a computer. Learned that a while back. Worked fine before the cleaning with a shop vac.

      Apparently Metrovac makes a lot of electric air blowers and vacuums with a lineup specifically dedicated to being ESD-proof for computers and delicate electronics. I was really tempted to get one of their smaller ones as I intend to put my expertise up for sale here soon and that would be great to use for cleaning.

    Tip before something happens: Be carefull with the fan bearings while blowing the dust. You could damage them.

    • @normaneckhardt9673
      @normaneckhardt9673 Рік тому

      Have the machine running. The bearings are moving at that point. And less likely to have dust settle on them. Just a thought.

    Is a power supply and a system board faulty at the same time when it comes to a desktop PC? I tend to replace both. Many times, I tested a good psu but once it was connected to a faulty system board, the psu also got damaged.

    I use memory stick testers, motherboard testers, and power supply testers. Once I learned how they work, I eliminated all my computer test benches. It saved a lot of space and time. Time and space are relevant. *Dad Joke alert* Also I use MediCat, password reset tools on USB, and a 32gb flash drive with a RUFUS Windows 11 install on it. Also, I like to keep in mind that the electric motors on fans also function as generators; so I always keep them from turning when cleaning. I do have a standup PC (like an arcade game) and customers use it for electronic work order generation. They save to a shared drive where I can access them. This way I don't waste space with a file cabinet. A 500GB hard drive can store enough electronic documentation that if printed out would fill several tall file cabinets. I pretty much fix anything computer related (consoles, cell phones) so I can make a decent living without resorting to making Tech Tips videos for profit.😉
