i like to use roses metal which has a melting point of 96C. After applying on both sides most off the times its sufficient to heat one side of the cap with soldering iron the other side will liquefy by its own from the heat. but you have to remove it afterwards
Hi Sorin. I have the same Weller tweezers. Honestly, they are the best. You'll only need a bit of practice, and patience. No more, no less. And as always, thanks for the video.
You can remove the capacitor without the soldering tweezers. You add lower temperature solder to both connections, and lift one side, and then the other.
Hello🤝nice equipment, very good for such actions, I always add fresh lead tin, which significantly speeds up the desoldering process, best regards👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋
Sorin, for challenging desoldering jobs I bought a little ChipQuick kit ((SMD1 NL). The kit contains some gel flux and very low melting point alloy (I think it is liquid at 90C). When mixed with normal solder the joint stays liquid for a long time. Just touch the soldering iron to the ‘ChipQuicked’ solder joints and lift the component off of the PCB. Simples 👍🙂 Very low melt solder must be wicked off the PCB after use but it can save a lot of hassle with challenging desoldering situations. Totally unsuitable for soldering a component though. Alternatives to ChipQuick are available but check that the melting point is very low. I have yet to use a pair of soldering tweezers that I liked. Most that I have used seemed underpowered for anything but the least demanding of tasks.
I fully agree with the comment above…as far as I know Chipquick melting point is 58C and it accelerates the desoldering procedure to “difficult areas” a lot….20 years ago I was using Gaugemaster GM1 at 73C with approximately the same results.
Great video. Nice to see an Apple repair. The soldering tweezers have their use and will need practice to get the best use from them. Hot air for everything else. Well done matey and keep the excellent videos coming 👍
When desoldering a component from a board using tweezers i am much much faster when i add a little bit of a fresh lower melting (150°C) solder on both tips. That lowers the desoldering time to a few seconds. I am sure a standard snpb solder will work too.
I watched you repair hundreds of laptops. Only 2 were Macbooks. Maybe, just maybe, statistically, they are not as bad as you say. And you missed to say how beautiful the motherboard looks, how wonderfully designed and assembled it is, and so on.
You may get ad try aluminum tape - that works real good - suggestion only - I use soldering tweezers also and they work much faster than that - not impressed by those tweezers
That is probably unleaded solder and it has to get really hot to melt. The leaded solder on top facilitates the melting of the unleaded solder from my experience.
I've used CHEAP soldering tweezers and they were terrible to use but the expensive pair I bought, made by a well known soldering equipment manufacturer, were superb but have very limited uses for me.
Over the years I've found such tweezers tend to be less useful than I wish they were :( ( even in this video, that was 2 minutes of tweezer application :-o ) These days, I've got a nice fine pair of pliers that I've filed down to narrow points, using that tool I remove capacitors quickly and cleanly. Of course, you have to know the PCB traces that you're located over, because if you don't, it's easy to end up tearing away the traces and creating more trouble. The trick is to push down and apply sideways force so that the cap shears off from its endcaps, usually works very easy with already damaged caps. You see other techs like Jessa Jones do this a lot on things like iPhones where it's near impossible to get hot tweezers in.
It was only 2 minutes because these tweezers are weak and Sorin didn't lower solder melting temperature. Only 40W per one side, 80W total. It's like using 2x 40W soldering iron. Of course 40W is extremely low power for such a big ground plane. You need at least 80W for ground. Weller also quite a bad compared to JBC. Also the tip size matters, if you have too small tip, thermal capacity will be smaller. I usually use just 2 soldering irons at the same time. In this case Sorin could of helped GND side with soldering iron as well. Also always lower soldering temperature first. This lead-free has very high melting temperature, even if you use normal 180 degrees lead soldering wire it helps a lot. Even better if you use like 140 degrees low melting soldering wire. Maybe even these tweezers could of soldered that easily in that case. But of course if you have no space it's different story, in this case Sorin had quite some space.
To "How to desolder a capacitor?": It's called "Deformation Professionelle". Being so deep into Air Guns that you can forget how soldering works. 😂 Simply alternate the soldering tip between the 2 sides. Second option: Have a second soldier iron ready and use both of them. Costs really nearly nothing.
I hate solder tweezers. If you use a fine nozzle on an air gun and move it back and fourth rapidly across the cap and connector, the connector will never melt while also heating the board. You can use the same method to change any plastic connector whithout having to use air from the underside.
That male USB plug on your voltage meter is going to touch something real important on a laptop someday. Better you stick a plastic cover on it, or you're gonna be sorry ;)
Hi Sorin, good job even me must buy tweezer to upgrade my tools, good choice Weller it's the best one even if expensive.... bye francesco Timpano from Florence Italy
Thanks Master Sorin !! Could I ask you a question? Before buying the revelprog programmer, on Ebay it seems to just come with a cable, it seems to me that you have adapters that go with it on your side?
Lol, generation older than you… hot-air still scares me, the components around the thing I need to remove still gets blown away. Give me 2 soldering irons or soldering tweezers any day unless it ise one of those stupid components with the legs and pins underneath the component… 😂😂😂 guess you need to use the tools you are best accustomed to.
Sorin's "it's a capacitor!" exclamation never ceases to amaze me. It's a good day when it's a capacitor.
"My customer probably watching video" 😂 You are the best 😂😂 Good equipments Sorin. Thank you for this video 🙏🏻
In cases like that i use a knife tip. I heat both sides of the cap and remove it with tweezers.
i like to use roses metal which has a melting point of 96C. After applying on both sides most off the times its sufficient to heat one side of the cap with soldering iron the other side will liquefy by its own from the heat. but you have to remove it afterwards
It's a very good tool when you get used to it, good to see learning new tech, I've used two soldering irons to remove something like that.
Hi Sorin. I have the same Weller tweezers. Honestly, they are the best. You'll only need a bit of practice, and patience. No more, no less. And as always, thanks for the video.
You can remove the capacitor without the soldering tweezers. You add lower temperature solder to both connections, and lift one side, and then the other.
Exactly what will i do. Just using soldering iron.
You can also put a copper wire from one end to the other and then use a soldering iron to heat both ends at the same time.
i really like behind the scene, please sorin do more of this lol
I am having a lot of fun watching it and learning at the same time, thank you.
I am using two regular irons with both hands, way faster than tweezers because of higher combined power.
You may bridge the sides of the capacitor with a proper calibrated wire and use a normal soldering iron on the middle. it melts both sides

Sometime I find a bit of hot air assist can still help even on a lower temperature such as 200c near plastic connectors

OMG what's going on - you replaced a capacitor?!?!?!
Something is going to happen😂😂😂😂
We have to worry about him!
hmmm.... Is that sorin‽ i cant believe
@@theguards3563 I think he's been cloned with AI technology!!
Hahahaaaa!!

I also smell my rosin flux... it's magical.
Sorin your such a bad boy tease us with pliers, what next hammer and chisel , first rate video 🥰
Add solder to both ends of the cap before using the tweezers...
That is probably unleaded solder and it has to get really hot to melt. The leaded solder on top facilitates the melting of the unleaded solder from my experience.
lower the melting point with some low melting solder
The intro was epic 😅😂
Atlast the tweezer is here. Just use it and you'll find it helpfull...
I've used CHEAP soldering tweezers and they were terrible to use but the expensive pair I bought, made by a well known soldering equipment manufacturer, were superb but have very limited uses for me.
The one he used are from weller, check the video.
OOOH!!??....a new and expensive tool...very nice...good video
Click like button if you wanted to see the "Little Friend" in action ❤❤❤
sorin use the twisers with the sholdering gun it will make the experience the one that you was looking for or expected in the first place. :D
pay attention to USB-A socket of the charger. I think you can create a short circuit on the mainboard with it when you open the lid .
I also hate it when I have to use hot tweezers Sorin. Very rare when I have to luckily though 😂.
Sorin you should add a modification, a switch to your lab power supply for 0.9V.
Like ch9 on a CB radio.
Great job Sorin. I personaly don't like the twesers at all i have some metcal twesers they are a nightmare to use.
Say hello to our new little friend.

Nice quick fix Sorin thanks and a pizza for you tonight 😊
05:00 It's time to you buy a hot tweezers Mr. Sorin :)
Hello Sorin, Thx for good prooper calibrated video, i don't like tweezer to, i prefer proper calibrated Pliers ;) But allways good job. Best regards
"Earth is starting to be destroyed.. What lord sorin replace the capacitor..!! Jesus : Can't Believe 😂

northridgefix knows on how to, he has special tweezers in his arsenal :D
he has same tweezers
His video's are short but do not explain problems & solution properly . I stopped watching
@@uttamx2016 Same. if i don't learn i don't watch. He 's just showing off now..
Protect and isolate The metersUSB A conector, when You move The board The ground from USB a conector almost touch the pcb
hot tweezer
Sorin not Being Dodgy...WTF🤣
Low melt solder and soldering iron...😉
I miss the dodgy repairs 😂
for that cap, dremel was teh way to go.
Those tweezers look a bit under powered, ie, I would've put a lot of solder on them to try and transfer more heat.
you love capacitor
really now, i wouldn't be offended if you replaced the capacitor off-camera!
That male USB plug on your voltage meter is going to touch something real important on a laptop someday. Better you stick a plastic cover on it, or you're gonna be sorry ;)

4:10 xdddddddddddddddddddddddd i love that moments :)
two soldering irons is better in my opinion
DR.pliers got angered...hahaha....
This repair will get proper calibrated pizza 🍕🍕👌
0:05 naaa Sorin, only DELL make good laptops 😀
Thanks Master Sorin !! Could I ask you a question? Before buying the revelprog programmer, on Ebay it seems to just come with a cable, it seems to me that you have adapters that go with it on your side?
I think they're called pogo leads and he got them from Aliexpress I believe.
In real life, it's always a husband and never a capacitor.
Doggie tweezer :))
15:21 charging sign. 15:32 NOT charging ?
The caps have glue under it?
It melted the plastic next to it. Probably it glued itself to the board.
why replace the capacitor Sorin?
Looks like you are getting dodgy ah.. 😅✌️
Who scratch the board at 06:18 between the tweezers, scratch appears from nowhere 😮😮😮😮
it not scratch. It some kind of dirty, maybe some fabric or cat's fur. Or maybe sorin's nose hair. 😝
Why he cannot add kapton tape on that plastic instead?
Este simplu,il inlocuiesti cu o penseta fierbinte :)
It'll be back in a month with a burnt coil.
we have pizza 🍕
by a cheap second iron
Mulțumim
Looks like cheap low power tweezers?? - try add low melt solder first
Nah! Nice high wattage soldering iron and swamp with solder to remove.
Replacing is easy…
You are a terrible liar.
Every laptop is junk until you touch it.
Then it becomes a "NICE LAPTOP"
Naaaaah this is dodgy job. Replacing capacitor so now laptop has a capacitor problem.
😂😅😊😊😊
when its a capacitor: :D
when its not a capacitor :(
the power meter is not accepted by the laptops chip, its apple protection, remove the meter and it might charge.
it is charge
change the capacitor, the problems will return😂😂😂
Good joke 🤣
