I was happy that I could put a new HDMI port on a friend's PS4 and a new micro-USB port on my son's Blue Yeti Microphone. .. . This was over the course of 3 weeks. Meanwhile, Alex has worked on 300+ devices in the two that I had carefully worked on. Thank you Alex. I absolutely love your videos. You are an engineer/artist and make this work look easy. This is not easy work if you are in-experienced. If I am ever in LA. I will definitely stop in and shake Alex's hand. Not just for congratulatory efforts, but in hopes that some of his knowledge somehow transfers to me through a handshake. I joke, but seriously good job, Alex. The work that you do is absolutely amazing and its strangely therapeutic to watch these fixes!!!
This is impossible for me, I already tried for broken USB flash tips, it was too hard.
Also sometimes the customer doesn't know the truth.
For eg. they swear black and blue the plug is bad but really is just the cable. But this is the only device that uses that cable so they can't test it properly. Or trying to use an old hdmi 2.0 cable on there new 3.0 tv. Cable worked fine before, tv must be bad.
Or you get stuff like computer slow, plz fix. And it could be almost anything from bad start up programs to dying hdd... it's impossible to debug these things over the phone, but it only takes about 3 secs when it's in front of you to just know what the problem is and how to fix it because you look at and fix this stuff day in and day out, the customer does not, just just want there stuff fixes.
And that's fine, they have money, we have skills. No further questions are needed.
I have the same monitor and broke this connector off recently. Pads looked impossible to repair so I ended up buying a new board. Bravo to you for repairing this one, really impressive 👏🙌
There's also another way
If you've the schematics of the board then you could run jumpers easily
If not
You could still do it but would've taken time
Better than spending for a whole new board
Hey, i have an issue with my board also. The repair shop told me, they want to replace but they can not get a board from the manufaturer. I found one in ebay. Is it easy to replace a board?
@@lukasvonniederhausern6153 Yes, the board is quite easy to replace. There are some cables you'll need to unplug from the old board which you need to be careful with. But it's really just unplugging everything, unscrewing the old board, screwing in and connecting the new one. The hardest part is opening the monitor's plastic casing!
@@tallytarik Nice! Thanks for the answer. Do you have any ressources about open the monitor? Where did you bought your board?
Very precise soldering work.. Job well done!!
I am still impressed how you restored those broken pads at 1:13 with just bridging... I thought that never would work. 😮
"We have the tools, we have the talent!"
Winston of the Ghost Busters.
That was the pads from the board. He just re tinned the legs and removed the pads at the same time.
@@darkallyrecordings4931 wow that makes sense now! :) Still really impressive.
Nice work 👍 Glad that you protected your eyes as it is not always possible to place the UV light flat on a PCB, as in this case. I found that it did not take much reflected UV to make my eyes painful when not wearing UV400 glasses. The eye pain would really interfere with your working day. Keep up the good work Alex 👍👍
You are so skilled man, it is really satisfying watching you perform surgical repairs with such precision! Thanks for the great content
10:01 what a badass repair man! :D 😂
Just sitting here and being amazed of Alex's surgical precision when working on those tiny copper pads.
Any online courses from Alex about surgery? HAHA, but beside that hats down, work done as excellent as it could be
I saw the customer put a complaint on reddit r/soldering 😂
Ahahha. I was not expecting sun glasses just after mentioning the UV light 😊. Have a great day
15 years of plugging in and out hdmi.dp cables and never ripped out a port. how hard does one need to push? damn shame for the money that the port has no brace to the case of the panel to prevent this.
Why not just leave the damn cable into the monitor and disconnect the opposite end from computer or other devices???
I am amazed at times how people can do such damage to their devices.
Parts that are sturdily attached that for some reason get destroyed.
I have electronic devices I bought years ago that are like new.
I keep them clean and store them in safe places.
But, that's what keeps Mr, Alex in business.
Hey I had to grab onto SOMETHING when the airlock broke!
It happens... even if you move the connected device or drop it... it's normal with any port. It's just about numbers, how many devices work without problems. It's just about luck. Obviously Alex is going to see this more than a normal person because he's going to fix it.
These monitors are badly designed, if you use the included USB-C cable it sticks out from the back quite a bit. Somebody walking past your desk could rip the port out.
Alex its time to replace that ESD mat 😂
You dont get enough credit for what you do and just how well you do it.
"Let the grinding begin."
That almost put tears in my eyes.
5k still on 1080p does me ok
10:01 very funny, that's the way! hard work, but with a fun twist! Hilarious. Keep doing t BTF. Whatch out for the 9th dimension
“How much flux do you typically use in a day?”
“Never enough.”
The whole point of having USB-C was so that repairs are easier, but they always add some degree of proprietary-ness to the port and charge a lot for repairs. Great job Alex, keep up the great work
no, that's not the whole or even main point of USB-C. Also, I would appreciate videos here that go a bit more into detail electrical troubleshooting. My impression here is that he mainly replaces broken connectors.
@@RandomUser2401 how many videos have you seen...?
@@spitefulwar a lot
@@RandomUser2401 this channel focuses mostly on microsoldering tips, tricks and techniques, he does electrical troubleshooting as well but if most people are sending him stuff with broken connectors that ain't his fault
How do you avoid overheating the solder point of the pad to the ground down circuit when you solder on the port. As the distance of the pad to the solder point is so short.
Hi Alex i saw SUNSHINE DT-17N Auto Range True RMS Multimeter on your e-commerce site can you please make video on this. is this beeping on diode mode
I love the Shades Alex! great humor and you are a slick troubleshooter! Nice job as always as I learn from you.
Your working skills is awesome bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍
I bought an LG monitor from apple five years ago... 27 inches - 4k the socket where the thunderbolt connects fell off - can you fix it ?
Why do they do that with USB C and HDMI etc? They have USB and HDMI standards, why not make the ports universal?
My instructor said it’s ok to look at the us light ….twice. Once with the left eye, and once with the right eye 🤣 ……( THIS IS A JOKE )
Nice solider work!
8:28 gave me chest pain just watching how close those tiny wires are and the precision he has to place them. KUDOS!!
Why you tell them from the beginning send the whole device to you and you will have no problems I think because you can test it !
Best thanks for the video!
Hi good teacher, my positivo BGH lap top has died after replacing hard driver unto another ones from unknown source.
What can l do in order my machine turn on again?
I enjoy watching your videos, they are very educational. Watching you work gives me inspiration to get into this field. Working on a broken device, then to see it operating after all is done, is a good feeling for me. Respect
Hi bro do you know about LWS-301 Laser Soldering Station. soldering with laser no heat gun
I love your technique and would definitely trust my stuff in your hands. I been watching for a few weeks and already learned so much.
Did the customer say it worked after being installed? I'm curios, since you couldn't test it.
I expected to see the monitor fully working with style... Gucci sunglasses!
Nice job, best thing since sliced bread that grinding pen. Then the shades, what's next flip flops and shorts. Waste not want not on those pads.
I could tell how excited you were when you first used the grinding pen and pad strips. its like you found the best instruments for your abilities and lets you be even better than better than factory! nice work.
You crack me up.. sunglasses.. lol.. the repair is crazy small and tight..
My teacher
if i ever would send anything to repair to you. I would send it in complete. Just to see your true success smile.
Even a 10 year old can design a better port and connection than the engineers in these companies. Until they intentionally designed it to fail or get damaged easily
If those sockets could be split the pins could be repaired in situ ........
If soldering was an Olympic event you'd be the undefeated gold medalist
I can’t unsee the skull in the bottom right leg you soldered at 12:58
perfeito! Mas vê se trabalha com a ponta de ferro mais limpa, usando a esponja vegetal.
how does the heat from the hot air gun reach the underside of the connector (that is pressed onto the pcb)? is there something else going on that's hard to see in the video?
You should have a playlist on your channel just dedicated to this monitor.
Awesome HightTech Technician! New subscriber here!
Why are you expoosing us to uyv lightt. Lol kidding
"Easy... right? "
Yes.
Oh you mean for us? No.
:)
Como siempre muy buen trabajo , acabado mejor que de fabrica...
When a razorblade looks like an axe 😲
Now running to buy my soldering paste!!!
I like you Videos.
G'day from Australia.
Repair with style aaand signature smile))
as you always say better than the factory 🏭 salam to bigboss
just learned how to get rid of annoying solder in holes.
Best part..... the tanned with uv Light 😎
Cool dude and easy peasy!! Right?
This man reminds me of my math teacher jokes😂
sent an email over support, is anyone going to respond
Awesome work like always... Another "EASY JOB"... LOL with UV light is like you are working on the beach... lol. HI from Uruguay ...
looking fresh with those sunglasses !
The work's so good you gotta wear shades. 👍😎
Fortunately your customer had the original USB C port that broke off. Getting a replacement part for those monitors can be a struggle and most times your on the hunt to find a donor as generic or similar ports may not work the same as the original
What a horrible port design.
You look cool in that glasses tho😍👌🏻
Uv btf 😎👍nough said
A familiar word (Amazing) job Alex, you look like soldering King with them sunglasses 😎 🤴🏻
Highlights on youtube is to see Alex work on those circuit boards just like a boss 😎
Very nice work alex. And you are right, every company use other connectors. It does not matter if its usb-c or micro-usb. There are so many differnt models.
😂 10:08 alex build a new meme. A "better than factory"-meme with sunglasses.
Thank you for the video, great job. Greets
Great video! Been Learning alot man thanks! It's very interesting and satisfying watching you work.. Ive been watching for about 4 hours straight now.. it's surprisingly calming and just takes my mind off everything..
like art this rebuilt connector
Should wear the glasses more 😎
Absolutely love watching you work. Master at your techniques!! Keep it up man. What MIC setup are you using?
"I always tell the truth. Even when I lie." Reminded me of Scarface when you said that some customers don't tell the truth. 🤣🤣
GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS ALEX .....sunglasses cool dude ... joe uk
awsom sunglasses 😎 great job
Looking giga chad in sunglasses
Sir, I am your subscriber and following you through. I have a question here; Before working on electronics, what is the first thing I have to do as a safety measure in dealing with electronics?
Great work as always Alex.
You are the MAN. You should have been a surgeon instead. You have very steady hands, your precision always amazes me.
that was sure an ultrafine repair
Awaiting "Better than factory" and magically it happened! Awesome hand technique!
Better than factory indeed.
Cool dude with the sunglasses on. Made me laugh. Great job, simple and effective.
Fix the trances/connectors VS Hunting for the bad component
Which is more fun for you ?
I'm quite good at soldering but the microscope takes it to another level. Stuff this small is mind numbing.
Cool sunglasses, Buddy 😂
Your policy is fair. Enjoy your videos, I haven't heard of 'tinning' in a long time.
Great job!! You make it look so easy but its really not! Your hands are so steady, you could easily be a surgeon. Thanks for sharing all this knowledge.
how do these port get broken ?
Wow, the board was a mess. Typical LG fare. Great work on your part though.
" biggest question of the century, where's the connector?" Haha
Like a surgeon. Steady hands for days! Bravo. Very nice work.
Awesome job as usual...
That's some really cool reconstruction work. Good job!
Amazing work Alex! I love watching these videos
Better than Factory 👍
Could u use a uv laser?
