Absolutely awesome to see you making vids again. You have the perfect balance between factual information and little bits of humour and humanity sprinkled in. Few folks have mastered that presentation skill. 😊 Really appreciate you taking the time to document your experience.
Man, you're so inspiring. I do some basic repairs for a while now but I can't wait to learn this to help more people! Gotta save up though those classes are expensive.
Hey, thanks for the comment! UA-cam can be a really good teacher but there are many things I wish I had learned directly from other people earlier on. It may have actually been cheaper in the long run!
Hey, thanks! It's good to be here. I've been at the bench mostly every day all day but had withdrawn from social media almost completely. I just needed to take some time to sort things out for myself & family.
I replaced a iphone 14 screen in the shop and fell into 'the trap'. Removed the screen and thought crap, the battery connects in the back!, I didn't want to risk breaking the back glass so completed the repair. Luckily it booted with no problems. Doesn't mean I'll be confident next time. I've been practicing removing and fitting screen connectors on old boards at home. Going well with no issues. Might try the solder build up and flow method. Always concerned about having enough solder.
I still have some hope that on this model it may not be *too* risky to keep the battery hooked up. During the iPhone 3~5 days, it was common to see screen replacements on the 3's and 5's without disconnecting the battery. They often needed a hard restart afterwards but damaging the board from keeping the battery hooked up was not common.
Bits of humour and great skills! Thanks for being back Jason! The battery trap was/is my concern. Hopefully the same as the 3's and the 5's as jou commented.
Oooof moments like that one are important in showing just how delicate microsoldering is. Just a tiny bit of debris can make a repair worthless if you miss it.
Well, I can't blame you. With freight forwarding and transporting [truck driving], a whole lot of it is repetitive, and even still I occasionally miss that one thing that can come back and bite me on the ass. Like a missed ABS cable, or even a trailer door. Thankfully that's far and few between, but I know that oooof feeling when I kick myself for having missed it. @@ststele
Hey, thanks! I appreciate all your comments. It feels really good to be posting again and not just staying holed up at the bench every day keeping things bottled up. Glad to be back at it!
I often wonder this exact same thing! For some boards I can come up with ideas that would make it fail-safe for them but others have melting points all over the place that are very, very close in temperature. I'm sure they have a specific order to lessen defects though.
I love your immediate criticism of this new design. I had the same thought about the battery when I first saw the change for design rework for these. Even Apple's manual seems to skip over battery disconnection for repairs. Even if there's no voltage to the connector, it just makes me feel wrong. Glad to see you back around. I miss your frank humanity when you're not uploading. I think it's a needed force in these kinds of videos.
I am hoping that the risk of leaving the battery connected on this model may be minimal but it certainly feels wrong with the way things have been on previous models! Sorry for the extended down-time. I'm really glad to see you're still here. Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊
Great video as alwyas Jason. if i can give a little advice, i tin a little with alloy the legs of the new connector for a strong conection but i think is optional. thank you as always my friend :)
Hey Jason, I have always wanted to ask how you got experienced in board repair and how did it all start? Would be nice to learn about your experience. I plan on getting into board level repair by taking Jessa's class in New York! Love your videos and I will keep watching them to learn as much as I can about your process.
Hey, thanks Randy! I don't think I could handle delivering the bad news if a surgery failed though. I'm already starting to get grey hair from the stress of dealing with electronic "patients". LOL
Only to be extra careful. With this being a multi-part sandwich board, I did not want to accidentally disrupt the sandwich solder joints. I would have needed to reball the whole sandwich if that had happened. I switched to using hot air for soldering only after replacing the medium/high temperature solder so that I could use lower temps and have almost no risk of floating the sandwich on accident.
Hey, thanks! I haven't had any trouble with the heating element yet. Still on my first 861DW with the original element. I've been a little worried about it one day going out and then having to spend the time calibrating / re-adjusting my temperatures after fixing it. Even the slightest bit of change makes a big difference. It's still going strong though.
It works good for removing but would be too brittle for soldering the new connector on. It breaks very easy during screen replacements. At least all of the alloys I have at hand would!
Thanks :) Yes, I used to remove this stuff to keep solder from squeezing out when it expands. It's ok to remove. I don't know what the proper term is but I call it "over fill". Apple uses different types of this glue on various models in different places. Thanks for the camera compliment. I was really beating myself up over the quality actually and feeling a need to upgrade. I just can't get it the clarity my previous camera had.
@@ststele I hate underfill from all kinds, specially under the chips. Some PC laptops now have soldered RAM with blubs of this glue or underfill on the sides, make regular reflow impossible,
What is needed is smart solder. Engineers should exploit and modify the dendrite formation of some crystals. A smart solder is applied, electricity is passed through it, and the little nanites hook up like velcro. No heat required. It is hard to believe that the CERN installation is likely just a prototype and actually tiny, in the minds of those physicists.
Thank you! This was one of the cheapest cameras I could find after my old camera died early this year. I've been beating myself up over the quality and wishing I had bought a better camera. I'm glad it's not *too* blurry to see what is going on. I will try to run it on HDMI instead of USB before upgrading. These low-end cameras differ inside from unit to unit and have many different brand names. Here is one like it in the US: amzn.to/2Ckxiot I am using this one from Aliexpress (have to click the camera after opening the link or it's only the ring light!): www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803570931911.html They look the same outside but inside they are totally different. My old camera had a *much* larger sensor! I plan to upgrade soon.
You think you could fix a board on a Miller plazma cut .took it back to dealer they said 800. To replace board .they have 8 of the setting in the back room same problem.
Maybe so. The difficult thing with boards from larger machines is having no way to test & have limited troubleshooting ability without the actual machine. I have fixed a couple of remote controls from these - just broken charge ports though.
Thanks! The 2020 SE shouldn't give you any trouble to replace the front camera. If the camera doesn't work afterwards, updating / re-flashing iOS should fix it. I've had that happen on iPhone X models --- may have been Xs? I don't think that SE will have any trouble though. It should just work!
Your chances of successfully changing the battery at a shop are slightly higher than doing it yourself. Besides that I just changed my old 5C battery myself for $5 Canadian because that was about what I wanted to pay for it.
@@ststele That's why I love your channel. I believe you stand out as one of the most conscientious, humble and professional repair techs I have ever seen. I am thoroughly impressed every time I see one of your videos. Wish you a GREAT day! 🙂
So apple stopped being stupid with tru tone and face id on the newer phones!? Maybe ill get back into it again. So tired of there hardware locks! Wicked work as always sir!
Well that looks smashing to me, and it works spot on . Don't put yourself down, i will call you names instead :-D Expert / Pro /Excellent / slightly mad lol. is the rat back yet? Yes i am silly.
LOL, thank you! As for the rat - we have been through several rats since the famous "Matt" that I posted on UA-cam. Some of them are really smart but others are really dumb. No matter how well a house is sealed up, it seems like they can always find a way in when winter comes around. The last rat that I caught coming into the house came directly up out of the toilet! That one was an easy catch... it was either really dumb or really hungry. Maybe both :D
I suspect that your house is a holiday resort for rats, good food and plenty of toilet water. Screaming music from the second we arrive. (9 out of 10). I only give 9 because you smell :-D
Absolutely awesome to see you making vids again. You have the perfect balance between factual information and little bits of humour and humanity sprinkled in. Few folks have mastered that presentation skill. 😊 Really appreciate you taking the time to document your experience.
Hey, thank you! I greatly appreciate you watching & the good compliments.
You sir are the Bob Ross of tech repair. I dig it!! Happy your back to making videos again.
Glad you're back on line. So entertaining to watch, ta.

He’s really back. Absolutely love the calm cool commentary. Can’t say the same for the hot air gun though. Hehehe.
Yes, I am! Lol @hot air gun. 😂
Glad to see you up and going again here Jason, i appreciate your content a lot, dont stop the good work!!

Tony!!! Glad to see you in my comments. I will never forget you sending me that soldering mat.

Yes indeed! I can't believe I missed that tiny little speck.

Great to see you making videos again. 🎉
Nice to see you still have the magic touch nice work
Thank you! 🙏 😊
always hoplding my breath when you do repairs.
So glad to see you posting again! Love the videos!
Great to see you uploading again, Jason. Superb work.
Thank you! I won’t be able to post super consistently but I don’t plan on disappearing for months at a time anytime soon. 🙂
"It's ok. Everything's gonna be just fine." I need that on a shirt and maybe a bumper sticker.
LOL, that's a good idea!
jason top class work as usual i love watching the skill and patience in these videos you have some awesome skill well done
Thank you! 😊
Great to see you back in action Jason!! Use another light to sine in from the side so that does away with glare
welcome back man 🍾🍾
Thank you!
Super excited to see a new video come out. Glad to see you are still putting out interesting, informative, and entertaining videos.
Great to see you back Jason, missed you man.
Hey, thanks! I really missed posting.
Great video, love watching you work. Glad your back.👍👍
Hey, thanks! I appreciate all your comments. It feels really good to be posting again and not just staying holed up at the bench every day keeping things bottled up. Glad to be back at it!
great work! ty again always like seeing your work!
It would be interesting to see how components like this get soldered in the factory with the high melt.
I often wonder this exact same thing! For some boards I can come up with ideas that would make it fail-safe for them but others have melting points all over the place that are very, very close in temperature. I'm sure they have a specific order to lessen defects though.
Love your thumbnails last 2 videos 😅 nice pretty job! 🎉
Thank you! I really appreciate the compliments!
We all know you love your job so much, you like to do it twice.....😁Great job and video.
Yep! Why do it once when you can just do it twice? LOL Thank you!
Am Andrew from Uganda , thank you for the great teachings sir i wish i can have a chance to have more classes from you directly

ive followed you since the begining. i was with the name "JUst Klev" now is klevrepairs. ive learned so much from you my friend

Hi jason welcome back
Hello. Thanks - glad to be back!
17:20 - Really thought you were burning the connect (bottom left) there.
We ALWAYS like your vids Jason, yes MORE like this! You could've been a brain surgeon!
Hey, thanks Randy! I don't think I could handle delivering the bad news if a surgery failed though. I'm already starting to get grey hair from the stress of dealing with electronic "patients". LOL
15:09 Serenity Now - don't you hate that 😂
10 years later, I'm still blowing components off the board.. LOL SERENITY NOW!!
@@ststele Lloyd Braun would never do that 🤣
Jason, I wonder why you used the soldering iron instead of using the hot gun to lift and solder the connector
Only to be extra careful. With this being a multi-part sandwich board, I did not want to accidentally disrupt the sandwich solder joints. I would have needed to reball the whole sandwich if that had happened. I switched to using hot air for soldering only after replacing the medium/high temperature solder so that I could use lower temps and have almost no risk of floating the sandwich on accident.
Nice job Jason!
Quick question: have you ever changed your heating element on 861DW?
Hey, thanks! I haven't had any trouble with the heating element yet. Still on my first 861DW with the original element. I've been a little worried about it one day going out and then having to spend the time calibrating / re-adjusting my temperatures after fixing it. Even the slightest bit of change makes a big difference. It's still going strong though.
for a job like that would lower melting solder paste be any good?
It works good for removing but would be too brittle for soldering the new connector on. It breaks very easy during screen replacements. At least all of the alloys I have at hand would!
you are amazing keep it up sir!!
Thank you! I greatly appreciate the encouragement! 😊
it is good to see you sir
Nice repair👍
Thank you! 😊
Amazing camera quality
What is the black stuff around the connector ? Can I remove it before dealing with connector ?
Thanks :) Yes, I used to remove this stuff to keep solder from squeezing out when it expands. It's ok to remove. I don't know what the proper term is but I call it "over fill". Apple uses different types of this glue on various models in different places. Thanks for the camera compliment.

I love the quality of your microscope camera - what is it?
Thank you! This was one of the cheapest cameras I could find after my old camera died early this year. I've been beating myself up over the quality and wishing I had bought a better camera. I'm glad it's not *too* blurry to see what is going on. I will try to run it on HDMI instead of USB before upgrading.

great Job. got a Question I have a 2020 SE and would like to replace the front camera will it take a new one without problems?
Thanks! The 2020 SE shouldn't give you any trouble to replace the front camera. If the camera doesn't work afterwards, updating / re-flashing iOS should fix it. I've had that happen on iPhone X models --- may have been Xs? I don't think that SE will have any trouble though. It should just work!
finally got camera, will let ya know when i get a chance to change them.Thanks for the reply.. Don
No problem. I hope it works!
Your chances of successfully changing the battery at a shop are slightly higher than doing it yourself. Besides that I just changed my old 5C battery myself for $5 Canadian because that was about what I wanted to pay for it.
I really want to know what they cost there for this service, i am also a motherboard technician 🧑🔧 for iphones
We typically charge around $100 USD for these connectors. That includes full disassembly & re-assembly most of the time!
Samsung thing going on 😂😂😂 0:17 . Absolutely true...
LOL Yes! Those connectors fall apart! At first I thought shops were damaging them but nope, they're just weak.
I think it's a very bad reballing size working with microscope
are you related to Tony from northwestrepair?
No but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him on UA-cam.
I am exhausted.
The back is just as if not more fragile as the front lcd. It is a trap!
Not everyone would have left in the "Ooops" part of the vid! Some what disappointing to discover that you are "only human"! 🤫🤣
I really thought i was about to look like I nailed this one... nope - lol.. Not while recording. It doesn't work that way for me. 😂
I need microscope sir please
8:57 Sacrilege!! I have never heard that sentence being used on UA-cam before! O - M - G 🙂

never use cotton sticks for cleaning such a small connectors use SOFT tooth brush !
Flacid connector
Heya, very nice connector repair. and it all is so small so videally you have to have a very staddy hand
Thank you! Yes, so very tiny. I should always bring something else (like a toothpick) into the microscope view to clarify just how small it is.
