    Awesome repair Alex. Hope the leg is healing well! For the guys out there watching and wanting to try this repair yourself that is a good thing, but stop just a minute. This takes a lot of skill and you need to practice first. Don't just try this on your $1000 board with all your data on it. Alex sells practice boards and you can find some about anywhere. You can most likely take an old DVD player or something out of the closet or junk drawer and practice removing that connector first. If it does not go well then try another and another and another. If it still doesn't go well send your expensive board to the master before trying it!

    Hello, you are an artist and you are good at what you do. Otherwise you are an optimist. From what I've heard and seen in other videos, a brand name repair service would probably simply send this nightmare circuit board back - with the disclaimer - no longer repairable. Instead, you use your skills like a motivated rescue worker in an accident on the highway and do your work with care and motivation to achieve the best possible result. Apart from the price, every customer can be happy with such a high-quality repair these days. Thank you for letting us watch and sharing your techniques and experiences with us. So when you receive a PCB that is in such bad condition, do you never call the customer? Presumably you document your work in the repair video and send the customer the invoice with the repaired board? Very nice to see that you are satisfied with your work. Thanks

    Not sure why you would even take on the liability of fixing a board that you have no way of testing either prior to the repair, or after. Seems like this gives the customer a real opportunity to try to scam you. Not that you would fall for it but just a hassle you would have to deal with.

But, even if you have ALL of the proper tools, ie microscope, hot air station, good soldering iron and all the peripherals, if you lack the skills/experience you're probably going to fail lol. I failed my first 3 hdmi port replacements back when I first started, and I had all of the best tools for the job.
