You see guys, playing with fancy tools is what many call professionalism nowadays, this video is the reason I'm a huge fan of this guy. He is literally able to fix everything with almost no tools at all. Old school clever man. The fact that he is showing this to us for free deserves even more respect. I wish you all the best Sorin!
Yes I love that classical electronics background that he brings, I think the subject is far better understood from that perspective. All the mod cons can then be a natural progression once the roots are first understood.
No tools? He has every tool needed. He also has vast knowlege and experience in electronics repair
Best tools in the world are brains/knowledge and ur hands
Reminds me of parents whipping up a cheap, but delicious meal - something out of nothing :)
His experience is priceless. I bet there is more of his knowledge not showing to us.
Sorin, you are great. You use one word a lot that defines you, and that is (fantastic). I look forward to your videos and at 76yrs old you have re-ignited my interest in electronics.and how to repair laptops, and I thank you. Only found you a few weeks ago and after going through a bad down period in my life you have helped me a lot, keep them coming.
You both are inspirational
@@durosinmiadeleke4598 Thank You.
D Canty you and the man of the video are great hehe. I belive it.
@@RepairsMX Thank You.
That was an inspirational comment - I hope you're keeping up with it, and doing well.
Watching Sorin bit by bit starts making you feeling closer to him, he's such a great guy, I wish I wasn't so far at the other side of the planet just to go to his store and say "hi" in person, shake his hand and tell him how much I admire him and how thankful I am for all the time he spends talking to us attentive listeners.
I'm making a goal in my life to make a trip to meet this amazing guy, huge thanks to you Sorin
dvisor so nice of you indeed. May your dream come true tree. Cheers👍😊
You show me any other Electronics repair person who would have done all this to creator a hot air soldering machine. Nobody. That's why Sorin is the best because he's always thinking outside the box to achieve such great results. The old country must have been a great place to live. Smiles.
Well, it wasn't a great place to live most of the time, even if you're as gifted as Soren - that's why he's now in the UK, I'd warrant. ;)
Its a hobby of mine to repair electronics and I had tried before to use a hollow soldering iron but there was too much air filtering and I was unable to blow more air on the tube to create the pressure needed. You tought of simplicity and this is just genious man. I'm going to make my own toy now. Thank you
Am wondering why someone gives a dislike for such an inventory.
Thanks very much MR SOLIN.
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR DEDICATION.
for air flow, you could use an aquarium pump and then change the current to change the temperature.
Te urmăresc de ceva vreme și pot să spun că am fost foarte bucuros cand am aflat ca ești român, apreciez foarte mult tot ceea ce faci. Am doar 18 ani și mă pasionează tot prin ce trece electroni, am învățat foarte multe de la tine. Mulțumesc!
Great video! Add an aquarium air pump, and a valve. And a PTC resistor to read air temp. I use to use the quartz tube from a (burned out) sodium HID lamp for the heater.
This old school Romanian ingenuity, helps us now in the west. I'm from there as well, but I'm in mechanical field and I work for a space company in the US. Repairing electronics as a hobby. Back than, I made 68' VW Beetle engine bearings(connecting rod) out of big truck bearings. Dish systems from scratch: winded my own transformer, made my own box, dish mechanism and the orientation mechanism, out of windshield wiper mechanism, etc.
Watch electronics and mechanical and other fixing videos from India. They are doing the impossible with hardly no means. Where there is will...
im 27 years old, im very impressed with this, nowadays we have all this tools and shit making us more stupids. Greetings from this Venezuelan. Im learning a lot.
espacially this episode reminds me how i built my first hot air more than 20 years ago... a modified AT power supply, an aquarium pump, a piece of copper tube and a glow plug from a W123 200D engine. In my case used to fix digital Satellite Receivers which came up the late 90's (in those times such STBs cost 1000 to 1500 bucks so it was really necessary to fix them).
Dear Sorin,
i appreciate your work and sharing your videos with us. It is awesome to watch you making your experiences, learning something new every day and always thinking for a proper way to get the job done.
Many thanks and keep up with that outstanding good work and videos
Were they all larger gauge SMD components?
Funny manual air flow blowing with mouth, that was crazy stoneage thing. You were actually the inventor of Hot air gun...
Sorin experiments - sets the place on fire! The good old days of experimentation. Those were the days I loved the most, anything was possible - no boundaries.
Nice. I remember back in the day there was no such things as hot air stations. This kind of thinking gives you a lot of advantage. Thanks for the video.
@virus killerism - They existed, but they were _extremely_ expensive as they were all 'pro' units made by Western companies - no mass Chinese cheap tools of that type back then.
This guy is like the James Bond of electronics if you crashed on a dessert island he would build from the wreckage something that would save your lives .... crazy but these people exist what a guy !!! SAS Sign him up
Nimic nu intrece inventivitatea română! Felicitări! Mulțumesc pentru video-uri, multă sănptate și multă baftă!
you'll never stop surprising us. Amazing knowledge and person, thinking how to help others
I love seeing how to repurpose stuff like this. It really helps me understand exactly how these components work
Mr. Sorin You must be really enjoying using the modern tech... I can't imagine the pain ... I was actually holding my breath to see that chip off the board meeeen!!! awesome knowledge here for real
You are a great bloke. Giving opportunity to people with less means and educational options, salute. I'll make more of an effort to stay 'out of my bubble', thanks Sorin!
The second you said you're making the video to help others who arent as well off, i hit that sub button without a seconds hesitation.
Amazing videos!
That was hilarious but it sure worked, we're lucky that we have cheap hot air stations available today, thank you for sharing your experience and it's good to see how things worked 22years ago
you're like a cross between MacGyver and Mr Miyagi!!
....and who looks like Ray Liotta ...lolz
Sorin you always suprise me with you can do with the minimum of things. You are brilliant.
I've never thought of blowing your own air through that heating tube would work. When i was a kid we used to use cook top that use open nicrome wire coil. I guess those thick nicrome wire would work better and is already in tube shape to begin with. I really love how you reuse things you have around to make new things. These days we tend to buy too much without making things on our own.
With ingenuity and desire, we can solve anything. Thanks for your valuable ideas. Greetings from Argentina.
I call that a real technician
We love you sorin from africa❤️❤️
well, as they say.. necessity is the mother of invention! What a mind.. I am gonna go and make one myself.. This is what you can do when you truly understand what it is you are doing..
Thank you. For your thoughts and feeling.
who did not live that time does not quite understand ... beautiful times
I remember using dropper resisters to heat my room. ;-)
We barely had food. Those long lines for everything. I had to make my own multimeter, cassette player, TV dish system, soldering iron, etc.
I LIKE every sinlge video of this guy!
He NEVER cut anything!
Hi from Italy👍👍👍
I cannot stress how much i appreciate the knowledge you give away free...
Thank you for making me wiser!
This is what Old School means!
the opposite of New school then??
"you know where the airflow comes? hahaha!"
that was funny!
btw, i wish you dont forget to push air instead of pull...
HMMMM Brings back memories. I remember something like that when I was a teen, only I was inhaling not exhaling. Sorry got sidetracked. This is why I enjoy your channel. Thank you for taking the time to share your videos and your knowledge. I can picture a t shirt with a picture of you holding test leads and a glue sticks in your top pocket.of a white Lab coat (More amps-- Daz Bad--Goodt Goodt) with anyone of these sayings. Thank god I have a hot air setup. If I had to blow like that now my wife would find me under my desk in the fetal position watching Sylvester chase the tweety bird around in circles. Probably piss myself to. Again thank you for sharing your time and videos.
You make 17 years ago sound like the time of the Wright brothers, respect!
My Daddy always said: "If you don't Have what you Need to Do the Job...Improvise!!!"
Great Video Mr Sorin...ahhh the Old Days ;) Necessity is certainly the Mother of All Invention... Is it not!?
Deci nu-mi vine sa cred ca sunteti roman! Am invatat foarte multe de la dvs. Va multumesc! Salutari calde din Romania!
Man you must have been some light headed and out of breath doing it like that for a year lol you sir are a legend !
I just found this channel last night and really enjoy the videos i've watched so far. I would think maybe a cheap aquarium pump with a variable switch to adjust the air speed could work ok. I would like to see others ideas on wire type, such as using a spring steel are other ideas and guages of the wire for a homemade setup. I have a $900 Weller, but playing around with building from scratch and modifying things is what got me started fixing things around 40 years ago. Maybe with throwing some ideas out their he will do another video on things from our thoughts so someone could build their own setups from his video. Not just anyone can afford a hot air station, it took me years with a cheap pencil iron before investing on fancier setups and plus its a fun thing to build your own things and can learn a lot from them and repair them yourself afterwards if need be.
Not just a Master.. He's a Sage
Hello Mr Sorin :)
Great video really you're a Genius ! all time you use ur brain to solve problems ...
thanks for your videos we learn alot from you...
Loved the video, this guy passion in electronics is brilliant it inspires others.jay
Se vorbeste prin sat ca noi facem din rahat bici si mai si pocneste :) Very interesting and educational video. Living proof that the need teaches you. Multumesc
Nice, i like this tool :), This tool is like survival in extreme situations, when you need rework smd's right now in middle of the night and you dont have your station :D Bear Grills in electronics, thanks again Sorrin ;)
That is fantastic I love it and need one so I am going to make a great one to use all the time, Thanks so much Sorin I appreciate everything you are doing. I have learned a lot. Thanks Clyde
Hello Mr Sorin :)
Great video, really you're a real Genius ! All time you use your brain to solve problems ...where there is a will to find a solution.. there is always a way... Necessity is certainly the Mother of All Inventions...
Thanks for your video,s we learn a lot from you...
I have got a question, even though you explained it very clearly that this should be controlled by amps and not by voltage. The amp-miter was showing 1.72 amps but we couldn't see the volt meter, ... my question is: what voltage did you use ?..
Loving it absolutely loving it man!! From wee bony Scotland
You are the man! Thank you for inspiration and motivation Sorin.
That was great, thanks for sharing. You used what you had at the time to do the work.
You could add a small air pump from a small fish aquarium that wouldn't have a large airflow to the end of your ceramic tube, and a valve to control/restrict airflow as well for the right temperature to airflow ratio.
Creative at that time as an “improvement”, good to see that +/- 8W of heat were able to do air soldering. For stable AIR FLOW I have some suggestions (none tried (yet)!). I thought to use an Aquarius air pump - I have some unused.
But to make it really cheap, blow/inflate a Party balloon 🎈 or a tiny bike air chamber - it could store 2~3 breath and make a stable air flow.
The air flow could be controlled by partially bending a plastic hose (as those used for IV medication, or probably through a thin plastic tube (as in spray lubes) or up to thick IV needle.
This is how I know that you are a God Father in your work. You build your own tools genius. Tall ratings. I have been learning a crazy lot since I started watching your video's. You think solution.
You can add a piece of plastic tube, attached to an aquarium air pump, and for the air flow regulation, they have an in line plastic pinch valve. Good tip. Thanks.
Ha ha, nice old time experience, two years ago i came up with this idea using tin sucker body and solder point to blow away the tin that connect the components. This works verry fine for me. Thank you for your experiance on this one
There's nothing wrong with the ceramic resistor till you hit it. 😂. Good video
Thank god I found you, You are my inspiration.
Mă bucur să aud că sunteți român, mult succes vă doresc!
Customers will think you’re having a line of Charlie lolol
this sentence makes no sense, whats a line of charlie???
The ones who will Unserstand , will Unserstand. Lol
I've not read all of the comments, so maybe this has been suggested before - if you add a length of thin rubber tubing to the cool end, you could blow through that meaning that you could direct the flow of hot air independently of moving your head :-).
For a resistor you can use wire from vaping mods and e-cigarrette,they also have different resistances
Brilliant!! Thank you very much for this video & thinking about individuals who don't have the means too just buy these tools, but are eager too learn and try fixing electronics!
One word to define Sorin? Amazing! Excellent job. As usual.
a classic hack ! lol now hook it up to a aquarium air pump and you have a hot air station ! :)
@@bluethunder7814 I'm thinking hair dryer. 17 years ago we don't have (in Portugal) aquarium air pump, at least in the interior of the country. But you have to hack some tubing to downsizing it.
@@raulmiguelramos Um secador vai é fazer um vendaval que leva tudo pela frente. vai solda, vai smd's, vai tudo pelo caralho ahahah
i'm using a 12v computer muffin fan and a hand rolled ventura tube with some tungsten wire all running off computer power supply, ugly as fak, but works beautiful ;)
I'm having HotAir station for years, a BGA Station also, but still i'm intrested in building own HotAir and BGA Station ( Bigger and more effective for my usage ), reading "Old School' Books brings a lot great ideas which is usefull these days, just like your video.
Building your own things keeps you learning more than you would suspect . And still after made your project you can always upgrade it or make v2 , v3 Version :D .
even 30 years ago I had access to variable flow aquarium pump, using that would be just so much easier :)
Wow!, that was impressive, I never thought of that!. What I have done is using a 100 watts soldering iron and put the an hot air tube and air with it. But it was no success. It's hot enough to melt the lead but you can't really remove even a small smd resistor.
I also love that your side cutters are also pliers and a hammer. Need to get me a fancy all in one tool like that too! :-D
Fun to look back where you came from!
Hey all funny but jokes aside if you all were on a space ship hurtling towards a planet the you would all be wishing Zorin was onboard to repair the defective board. There's no heat gun, we're all doomed? No we Have Zorin.
That is true ;) (And just for the record, it is Sorin, spelled and spoken S)
Nichrome wire can be found in blower fan resistors of cars in salvage yards, toaster have wire but brittle, hair dryer or heat gun for removing paint. Harvest, cut, measure & apply amps to measure. I use an “IR” gun as I worked on cars.
Also, you can get a flat white 6X6, 12” X 12” ceramic tile at home improvement store or tile shop to sit hot items on during work to testing. It a much cheaper option. Enjoy videos!
When I was young I wanted to learn to weld I used a car battery and jumping cable to learn to weld it really worked
Thanks
Great video I really like the way u use ur brain to solve problems I was wondering if u can do a video on what parts a person will need to start a repair shop like wat type on charging ports u use the most and so on thanks for ur videos I have learnt so much
What a great video it is thinking outside the box love these videos, what a thoroughly descent human being, simply the best.
Thanks for your videos we learn a Lot from it. More Blessing to you
Hi Sorin, I love everything you are doing. You have my big respect.
Honestly, You are macgyver, I will follow all You videos, I like the way you all explain e.t.c. Top Man ,,👍 probably soon I will pay to subscribe, I love electronic repairs, done that from I was 9 years old, past 35 years forgot how is that and now when I'm older I wanna this again. Thank You
so I was thinking what I would do if I went to jail and though about electronics repair in there (TVS and such) but I realized they had no soldering tools. you sir are a genius if I ever do go to jail I can use this to my advantage.
This is the second video i watch this gentlement is the greastest old school is awesome tricks of the trade its good he is sharing his knowledge way to go.
I think he made the tool for some other use then realized it would work great for boards lmfao. Well done boss. You da man.
Thank you so much for your help. You are a great guy.
Thanks a lot for your knolageable teaching Mr Soring
I need to give it a try! Thanks Sorin
Bro I am 14 and I wanted to make something like that thanks a lot and I will make one thanks for the knowledge.
The wire is called "NICHROME WIRE" there are other names but i can't remember them,it is used for bag sealers,electric fire elements,hair dryer elements,styrofoam cutters/shapers.
It's quite cheap on ebay and you can get different gauges of wire for different power elements.
I think for me i want a hot air station that runs from batteries that are solar charged,though a better idea would be to run from large super capacitors that get charged from a hand crank charger and run on low voltage or run through a 220v inverter,which would be tha fastest charge method and get some excercise into the bargain.
You could have a super capacitor bank large enough to power your work light and soldering station of any type.
I have not tried to source mica insulator sheet the same material used in hair dryer and hot air stations that the element is formed around ,but a very good non mains powered set up can be made quite cheap remember that the initial cost will be the only cost as you no longer have to use utility mains electricity.
You can wire the wire for very cheap it is known as heater wire in local stores
This is a very clever idea. You idea of a fan on the end of a longer tube is probably better.
Do you have ideas for making a small variac?
COVID-19 Happens
Me: perfect, everything is so quiet and i can play on my laptop all day
My laptop during coronavirus quarantine: sudden ded
Me check laptop: mosfet shorted
Me: dont have hot air
This video: perfect time for diy hot air
Me: dont have variable power supply
Me: CRI IN THE CORNER WAITING FOR QUARANTINE TO END
great video.. you can melt the hot glue too :)
Sorin is the real deal. This is just one of his many examples of how with perseverance and ingenuity you can accomplish anything. Here in the US (and yeah, other places) we've all been brainwashed into being consumers who are addicted to convenience.....break it, don't fix it, just throw it away and replace it. "Give me convenience or give me death" is our attitude here, so we can work 60 hours a week just to survive. Such a waste and completely unnecessary. And we wonder why we don't have manufacturing jobs here. On top of that, the corporations design things to break so we HAVE to replace them. Corporations design it, with intentional faults, then outsource the manufacturing, ship it back in, charge 20 times the manufacturing price and then hope it breaks soon so the consumer has to buy another to maximize profits. For some reason this is totally acceptable. It's the best con of all time to make the rich richer and we've all fallen for it. AND now the corporations are currently lobbying to make repairing stuff illegal, starting with electronics. That's supposed to be capitalism? FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO REPAIR!!!!! #righttorepair
thanx alot for your videos....I AM HAVING A GOOD UNDERSTAND OF LAPTOPS COZ OF YOUR VIDEOs
Multumesc pentru explicatiile tale...
Hi Sorin. Great videos. I would be very interested in a video of your workstation sometime. What gear you have etc. Many thanks. Terry, New Zealand.
thats a awesome pro, dont have a tool, ok, lets make it, thanks for that video you are really good, blesings (sorry about my english)
Awesome...Come the Apocalypse Sorin will still be Repairing...lol
You're amazing Sorin. I use this tool!.
EEVblog channel will jealous with u sorin ..thanks 😊
wow respect to this man hes what i call genius i was amazed by this very inspiring
Sir
you are rock..
can you make a video on dead samsung 300E for check step by step.
