    Alex has one hell of a business model. First he supplies the necessary tools to amateurs, who then mess it up, and have to pay Alex to fix their mistakes. 😁

    I have been fixing computers for 10 years and I finally gave in to a customer and did a PS5 hdmi. I was successful but will never do another one. People are failing because it is a super difficult repair. It was a huge PIA to get the original connector off and super difficult to get the tiny pins all connected. Not to mention the filter capacitor. I am lucky i didn't have to mess with broken traces or the diode and cap on the back.

    At the end about the Big Boss going on vacation. I wish I had an employer as you are to Big Boss even in the most stiff situation where you both have a crap ton of work to do (that can't even be done all at once but over reasonably given time). I just recently asked my job place for a 2 week vacation, they didn't let me, then I had to do some tricks - ask for 1 week + play the ''sick'' card for the other week, ridiculous stuff.

    I take all my Maschine music gear and buy short stubby extension cords, then fasten them in place and only unplug from the extension, NEVER the main gear.
    I do this because i plug and replug my gear for sessions. Often several times a day and am terrified of ripping out or having loose connectors. Plus liquids...
    Come near my gear with an open drink and ill pause and call you out...Like an angry pointing monkey meme. (I Lost a 32 channel mixer from a sugar drink..sadness.)

  • @mrocklewitz
    @mrocklewitz 2 роки тому

    I do repairs like this and build my own boards. Dont have the patience for other people's stuff. Its not even slightly as easy as he makes it look - lotsa skill involved here. That skill is knowing the look and feel.
    The key to all of it is to take your time. Dont force things or rush. Add leaded solder to anything lead free to reduce the melt point.
    I started out with a 9$ soldering iron. It can be done with that but not without skill. If a person cant properly desolder something i dont know how they think they can fix ripped traces or lifted pads - i dont know how they think throwing more solder on it can make it magically work. Take your time, practice on a scrap board - remove some smt connectors and reattach them to get a feel for it. Dont make ur 700$ ps5 or irreplaceable laptop your test subject. I believe anyone can do anything they put their mind to but humility is knowing when to hold back til you attained the skills needed.
    That said, i gotta get some of them pad strips. Been using magnet wire like a sucker for too long

    • @asakayosapro
      @asakayosapro Рік тому

      Don't forget about what wild things happen while it is plugged in. More often than not, either through a fit of gamer rage, normies or pets accidentally bumping into the device, fragile IKEA-esque furniture or just precarious or terrible device placement, the aftermath is usually a broken video connector...
