I hate these stupid micro USB ports... for something that fails so often and gets so much force applied to it regularly it should be much easier to solder. Pins and holes would make so much more sense.
Hopefully you've had some time to practice since you made this video. I found it almost unbelievable the extra work you made for yourself by breaking stuff. Best of luck to you!
Your point is well made. I ask this as a relative novice at soldering, how should it be done? When I saw the iron being rapidly moved side to side causing 'big' blobs of solder to short connections I thought "This isn't going well", and I wondered if the solder wick should have been used a little sooner.
Excellent video, thanks! I stripped the board when removing my charge port from my LG v20. Has ~10 trace repairs :(. May I ask what wire size you recommend/used? Insulated or non-insulated? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!!!
I think is a bad repair. The holes in the board are there for one reason, and it is to support/absorb mechanical stress. The connector has legs that need to be bend it and inserted into the holes.
I haven't soldered anything since I was a kid, but my Kindle's microUSB port appears to have come unsoldered. What tools would I need to attempt this? Aside from a soldering iron, of course.
You need solder too =p 60/40 leaded solder is the only way I’d even attempt this, the lead free stuff is alright for larger connections but just does not melt or wet good enough for this micro stuff.
Is it not okay to just put a glob of solder over all 5 of those, where it would be connecting them together? I did that to a remote for my electric skateboard and now it the blue light that tells you it's ready to take off the charger stays on instead of the red that would normally be on when I unplugged. So I don't know if it's even charging when I plug it in now. Also, am afraid to try leaving it plugged in, cause I don't know if it could cause a fire or something.
this kind of failure in common day to day, he could have removed the excess weld with a needle, but wanted to try to remove with the flow and ended up removing a pad ... more gave to redo the trail at the end .... we know that this exchange is very fast in the laboratory every day.
Around 7:40 is where I start to panic and burn pins and just bad things happen :/ I had to scrap my Bluetooth speaker and now trying to fix the tablet.
Great video couldn't understand you though if you are speaking English couldn't even tell . I think you should solder a new microphone in your video camera. LOL
I know it's old but oh my god, this video makes me want to throw something. Might I recommend learning some basic skills before posting a video for the world to see

I'd invest in upgrading audio quality.

How to remove solder bridges: Add flux, clean tip to remove all solder and try again. If stubborn, use solderwick.
I'm sitting here like how long is it gonna take before he gets solder wick
lmao was thinking the same thing .......
I guess i must continue to keep some old stuff for practicing. Thanks for the video
I appreciate you taking the time to make a video. Thank you.
Example of how not to use inbuilt mic on camera and hard way of soldering
What a hack !

AWESOME THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for sharing, I'm following you here in Brazil.

nice jumpering be careful not to remove the conductive lines on board
Is it good to leave the flux on like that?

A soldering Iron, some flux and maybe some wick and of course a magnifier should be all you need.

No its not OK, you shorted them all together if I got it right.
What is the piece of strand copper looking called? The one that you used to fix one of the connection pins?
Soldering wick
Pretty much all of my soldering is "oops".
Rofl. Mine are not perhaps but for sure and pretty also not available. Its all chronic ugly ooopsiedooppseees whahahaaha.
What is the fluid in the syringe?
Flux
My micro usb port broke on my skate board remote. Also the battery connector. Can i send my remote in for you fix this? How much will it cost. Thanks!
Hello, Where are you located?
Califorina
@@popitn2nd you can send it over but would be better to find someone in the states to do the job. We are in Europe.
RepairLab what place should i look for that do this kind of stuff?
Look for a place that can do microsoldering
Finally.. 😥
tnx

what do you use to clean the flux off after you are done
meTimetraveler IPA
What is the cost of this work in your city?
Around 7:40 is where I start to panic and burn pins and just bad things happen :/
I had to scrap my Bluetooth speaker and now trying to fix the tablet.
What a mess............haha
don't know why they make micro usb's as they are shit
7:24 what is the name of the liquid
Soldering flux

Sound is horrible
You need hot air station this not good
What language are u speaking ? Or is it something to do with your audio system? I couldn't make out a single word spoken by you.
ilike to USA i don't how is go

Words hurt
How not to solder
Edit ur videos
I didn't like your job man . I wouldn't let you repair my phone ! sorry but honest ! I was doing this kind of mistakes when I was 15 years old
And now you are 16 I guess! lol
@@RepairLab nope 23
And what is the mistake you are referring to?
ilike to USA i don't how is go
