    Yuck, what a mess. BTW, there is a somewhat easier way to solder that cap on the top side of the board near the connector. If you heat the two pads that it connects to, the heat will transfer down to the cap's pads. So I usually tin the pads, sit the cap on top, and then heat the two pads on the HDMI connector that it connects to with the soldering iron for a few seconds. The cap will just settle down on the pads with no risk at all of having it fly off into the 9th dimension.

    Why do so many HDMI ports fail on various boards, have to assume user error rather than design flaws.

    • @sequri
      @sequri Рік тому +3

      They fail because they come into contact with ham-fisted gorillas who have no respect for the integrity of the hardware they own. Instead of carefully lining up connector with socket and easing it in they roughly “ram it home” without concern for potential consequences. These people are only concerned with the functionality of the device and have no pride in ownership of it, beyond that. If they were given a Rolls-Royce it would quickly look like a builder’s van; an Accuphase amplifier would likewise end up like some adolescent’s old boombox. A Rolex Cosmograph Daytona… …well, I think you get the idea. 🙄✌️

    • @Dandan-tg6tj
      @Dandan-tg6tj Рік тому +2

      Fresh flux - isopropyl alcohol. Old flux- a little bit of heat plus isopropyl alcohol after heating. Burned flux, sometimes can be removed by a little bit of heat plus isopropyl alcohol after heating or you can use a brush (sponge) like the one Alex is using in this video. I'm not using a metallic one. The one I use is more like a hard plastic one even if it looks shiny. You can buy soft metal sponges (brushes) especially made for that purpose of removing nasty pieces of old burned flux.
      Whatever you choose to use, try it first on scrap, not functioning boards.
