Nice work. I did this repair on my A1502 it took me 2 hours . The result is terrible but it works . It would have helped me if this video was released 1 year ago .
I wish I knew of low melt solder a year ago. I struggled with a USB 3 port on a gaming laptop, and baked it in the oven for 10 minutes to evenly heat the board up (thinking it was a heat sucking ground plate issue), replaced the USB 3 port and now the motherboard shuts down straight after switching on. Expensive lesson! :(
First of all, nice job! Secondly, I can't believe that a simple headphone jack needs 13 pins to be attached to the board. Thanks for another class. Greatings from Brazil
hi sir I am from India.i am 19 year old college going kid and I repair mobile boards part time.I have learnt a lot about microsoldering from you. I am the only one microsoldering guy in our town.I take care if my expenses because of you.love you videos sir.❤️
i use three type low melt solder 225 degrees, 270 degrees 255 degrees, which our boss is using would be chip quik indium based one which has mp 143 degrees C
Nothing beats the low melt solder, flux and hot air combination. Also macbook pcb absorbs alot of heat due to the thickness of the pcb. As always another nice video!!! Take care 🙂
Maybe this advice could be useful for a future video: imagine how interesting would be do the same video with the help of the thermal camera! so we can see the spreading of the heat around. Thanks for your GREAT videos, greeetings from Italy :)
I Love all of your vedios. And i really enjoy watching it again and again. Beacause it really get help to make my skills inprove and I really Respect that you are sharing your knowledge with us. I must say all my love and respect i'm your biggest fan and i want to your pupil😁.To be honest Goodbye Keep going Forwad just like you're doing the best. You are the best Northridge Fix
Off topic; I just watched your "I prefer HDMI microscope and not Stereoscope". I have a microscope camera over my desk with HDMI into a monitor. It was fine for looking closely at small items to read numbers or look for defects. But when I started to practice micro soldering SMD; there is a time lag on the screen that screws up my timing trying to pick things up or place soldering iron on the pad to solder. Is the camera microscope you use more real time. Or have you just adapted to the time lag? Thanks
The microscope we use has 0 Lag via HDMI and everything you see is in Realtime. Just make sure you are not using an ancient monitor with latency issues.
Awesome! Got it, low melt solder is the way! What temperature do you set for hot air gun after low melt solder technique? Thank for your educational videos, greetings from Italy!
Not surprised apple had problems with headphone jacks. Three of mine had a defective contact with one dead channel. One I try to fix, ended up burning off the traces, the other exchanged while still under warranty. Went around and around with Apple support trying to found fault with me, first testing for water intrusion or tempered with the case, none happened. Then a long while to admit one bad channels, it was intermittent. The remaining other, never use the jack again, bluetooth only. Most likely why Apple eliminated the infamous headphone jack.
hello i'm huge fan of you work and i'm soon gonna start phone repairs shop! but atm still learning at home with little equipments i'm impressed with the way you are using the soldering wick cause it never worked for me i mostly use around 400C heat but i can't clean the pins! any advice please ?
Good quality solder wick makes the world of difference. I've been using MG Chemicals Superwick no clean wick. The el cheapo brand I was using before was garbage.
You can try to improve your solder wick action by adding a good quantity of flux. Anyway, the optimum solution is, as already suggested, a good quality solder wick. Regards from Italy.
@@NorthridgeFix there exists some small bench vises with caoutchouc on jaws that can help maintaining firmly stuff like that board. Anyway, "good luck"...
I’d be far too heavy handed to do your job, especially since becoming disabled. It’s OK soldering amateur stuff, even amateur level SMDs as it won’t cost a fortune if I mess up. For you professionals it’s a totally different game, you’re working with thousands of pounds/dollars/ euros worth of equipment in a day.
Great job but different approach in the way you Desoldered the donor board and the customer board with the hotair. The donor board hotair was applied underneath and on customer board on top. You should have Desoldered with hotair the same way to do a fair comparison. Although you applied hot air in the same area but it was different approach to applying the hotair.
Why not add leaded solder to those joints before using heat? I know it is a donor board, you do not care about it, however, if you use leaded solder, it will melt sooner and takes less time.
@@NorthridgeFix Maybe the customer had a three-year-old son that decided to help daddy adjust the phone plugs with his little screwdriver. Just saying :)
There is many specialists all over the world, even in my country but I can not argue that NordridgeFix is best one in my personal opinion
“Flux is king. King of the jungle.”

Great example of using the low melt solder, nice job 😀👍

Low melt solder rules when it come to jobs like this. Great video👍
I bought few months ago low melt solder from you though it bit expensive but it worth it every time I pull out the charging connector replacement 👌
If flux is king, you're the master man !
Another quality fix from the solder King! 👏👏👏👏👏💥
Yup I love low melt. Made PS4 HDMIs go from a pain in the butt to quite easy.

Alex is the best man in welding
Wow! Those donor boards would be like a goldmine for you. That's awesome.
An impressive demonstration and great material best regards from Germany
I can't stop enjoying your videos man. Please never stop uploading ❤❤❤
Great video showing how to disolder one of this conponents. I've learned a lot with your videos 😃👍
hi
can you please tell me more about the low melt solder (percentage of elements like tin ,lead etc and also melting temperature) thanks
Congrats from Argentina
@3:36
When doing these big ports
No nozel is king 👑

Flux king off the jangle 😊😊
Nice, showing the heating issues 👍🏻
do you think the plastic tabs on the bottom of the jack played a part in holding it down after they melted?
Hello. Just want to say have good day :)
Only time I struggled with low melt was when epoxy was used on IC. Still came off though.

Hi Alex, great job, well done!
It would be interestig to see any iPhone X or later version repair. Thnx
Did you solder the pins back with the same low melt solder or with leaded solder?
Nice and good work 👍
A suggestion, buy a throughole desoldering gun.
For this job is the best option.
Best Regards.
Hola saludos desde México, que tipo de flux utiliza y si es casero puede enseñar cómo hacerlo?
I had a flashback of being in a dentist's chair, having a tooth pulled.
Feel the power of low melt solder 😎👌👍👍
Whats the temperature you use with the hot air on the low melt solder thats impressive
what temp are you at when you are using the desoldering wick?
14:50 do you also have this wire paste.non your site
Hello sir, good job. Love from india.
There is a trick for heatphones jack no need to change conector .
Btw i respect your worck

What a trick ! Thanks men !
Which kind of low melt solder do you use: Rose's Metal or Wood's Metal?
Its like a dentist fighting with a stubborn tooth 😅

Nice video. Which soldering station are you using?
Would using low temp solder paste be the same?
Watching here from Qatar☺️👍👌
Better than factory 👍
Did you try flux and hot hair or only hot hair?(first tried). Regards from Turkey.
Nice job and video like always
Great job you done. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Sir. How much is your microscope
Watching from India❤️🙏👍
Where to buy donar boards... Please let me know..
Always the King
How does low melt solder weigh up against low melt solder paste?
nice one from ; Kenya
Thank you, artist
I love this man
4 and a half minutes of 500C... vs 30sec with low melt wow
Omggggggg super super super super job don..
better than factory t-shirt 😁😁😁😁
20 donor Boards for 3 Jacks will be pretty close ;-)
Beautiful
Apply solder lead first on pads before use hot air ..
Low melt solder save the day
Beautiful nice job. Better than factory. 😂😂😂
i enjoyed this video
What happened to the components in that area you applied a lot of heat
Components in that area are suffering from a fever
@@NorthridgeFix 🤣😂
You may need one small bench vise..
That's really the last thing I need on my bench.
@@NorthridgeFix there exists some small bench vises with caoutchouc on jaws that can help maintaining firmly stuff like that board. Anyway, "good luck"...
@@NorthridgeFix I disagree. A washing machine would be even lower in the list 😇😂
Watching from Pakistan
what flux you use sir?
Amtech 559.. He mentioned it in almost every video..

When you say low melt solder, i assume you mean leaded solder or is there purposely designed low melt solder?
El mejor!!!
Won't an electric desoldering tool do the job easier? The ones like Hakko FR-301.
Hi man
In Russia we take Rose's alloy

Eh walla
The client should use a USB adapter for headphones and be done with it. $10 tops.
thru holes drilled too small...a manufacturing screw-up
okey, now we should put some lava under the mother board...
What that hell is he making having those donor boards laying around, that's way too many,

13 pins, and 3 only are for signal. What are all others for? God knows, not us
Great job but different approach in the way you Desoldered the donor board and the customer board with the hotair. The donor board hotair was applied underneath and on customer board on top. You should have Desoldered with hotair the same way to do a fair comparison. Although you applied hot air in the same area but it was different approach to applying the hotair.
It's the same. The board was flipped. Underneath is top.
Good job from syria.
Macbook pro must be bad machines when you can buy so many cards that are faulty. Macbook pro are also overpriced for what it is!
Why not add leaded solder to those joints before using heat? I know it is a donor board, you do not care about it, however, if you use leaded solder, it will melt sooner and takes less time.
You clearly missed the point of this video.
