On the grnd pin I am getting a beep with red probe on the leg but not on the solder points that hold the connector everything else getting a beep with each leg to each of the other 3 pins. Is it ok if it doesnt beep for GRND Pin on those 2 outside solder points on the connector??
Some would say this is a straight forward repair but Phil makes this look to easy. Also your explanations of why you are doing what you are doing is priceless information for not just this repair but for micro soldering in general that helps so much in understanding how to do these repairs yourself. Thanks Phil!!!
Thanks so much mate. It's always nice to know even though I talk a bit too much it's generally useful information lol. To be honest the stuff I talk about is the stuff I wish I had when I was learning
Very nice fix again Phil, i really think your trick of using solderwick to create a groudpad is 300 IQ. If i ever have to do a repair like this i'm sure to use this trick
This is such a great tutorial video. I’m making this my first soldering project because I stupidly ripped this off while cleaning and this video makes me confident I can do this job. Thank you for this
I did it! Without the conformal coating, but I did it noneheless, the important thing is to solder the 2 sides in the connector. I have seen people using hot glue to stick the connector in place, now THAT would be awful. Myself I ripped the connector, but it wasn't because of a mistake, I was simply pulling up as gently as I could, the thing came off no matter, I literally cried, because I have been 2 years trying to finish my gaming setup and this was the last step (cleaning and replacing the thermal paste). To anyone reading, don't give up! This might happen to you! My theory is that the plastic no only comes to tight from factory, but because in that place, that little connector receives all the heat, therefore the plastic mold itself even tighter between each other! I don't think I am wrong.
Thanks Phill again, I’ve had a nightmare with a switch lite today. The port was like smashed and stuck into place I had to wrestle it out, so the port goes on fine all nice and happy. Then even whilst being careful FPC3 or the game card flex connector goes and falls apart, luckily had a dead cpu board used 340 air to remove the connector from the top and flowed it back on and alls working good. It took a while though and had to ultra sonic clean it as the connector ended up bunged up and I was scared to use the tooth brush in case it broke again 😅😂
Fantastic job mate. I just did the same damage to my PS4 and beyond my soldering skills. Great idea with the brade for the ground pads and love the conformal cover. Much better then the other vids I've watched. Very nice work and commentary. If only you where in Australia.
nice work, I purchased a cheap grinding pen, and it's really good for trace repairs, even on ribbon cables I even use it without power, and the bit scraps conformal coating, really well. well worth £15
I managed to do a trace repair on a display LCD flex cable for the switch with it. two traces next to each other had corroded, amazingly I got the flex cable into the zif.
Great Job!!! I learn something new from this channel every time, thanks for the lessons.

I more or less the same idea of using solder braid the other day to fix some damage. Have not tested it but well like you showed it makes for good pads! So I probably try it the next time I need a pad in no-pads-land XD
I had the same kind of problem with a ps2 fan connector about 20 years ago i think? Though the connector was still connected the 5 volt was off the pad. My friend ran insulated blue kynar wire to another 5 volt source and it was fine again.
Awsome stuff. Brilliant use of solder braid. I would love to know why this connector isn't a through hole part? It would make it alot stronger. I guess the reason is cost?
Great job hope it never comes back again. So common people breaking things to while clean them. All good intentions but need to be more carefull. Reminds me my Pc power supply fan bearings are on the way out need get a new fan.
Would it possible to flip the 2 pins on the connector to the back? If yes, that would place them in the perfect spot and running jumpers would be unnecessary. Just brainstorming. Good job sir.
Sadly not, if you flip the pins it means you'd have to flip them on the connector too which would mean if anything needs doing to the psu in future it would make it difficult for another technician if they don't know about it

just watched your other video for the 1st time & thought it was crazy how you came out with this one today now lol was wondering if the copper traces are required only if the pads are off or can you just solder it back? thanks
Thank you 😊 if all of the pads are there you can just solder it back on but if any of the pads are missing you'd need to replace them with jumper wires as the power supply needs all 4 connections to work (or 5 if you're working on a ps4 original)
@@TheCod3r aw man I'm an idiot.. they were still on & I thought you had to take them off to put the new jumpers on.. difference between amateurs & professionals.. lol really appreciate the reply!
*this problem happened to me earlier today while i was going to clean my ps4 & yanked the connector from the motherboard.. had the pads on the board & all 4 prongs intact on connector but pulled off the green leftover pads on board knowing no better at the time.. lol oh well

Thanks buddy, and yeah definitely give it a try, it's amazing how strong it is afterwards
I used your technique and it worked!!! and connector is pretty solid too instead of using hot glue. Thank you so much.
This magnified view does really make you as a viewer forget how small the space actually is lol

Indeed it does, if you need a good strong anchor point braid can be perfect for that. It could work on smaller pads too but would be a bit more tricky
Hey Phil love the video, and all the work you do. It has really been an inspiration to me as a college student to study computers.
Thank you mate. Glad you're enjoying the content, hopefully you give it a go yourself, it's a great job 😁
Nice work, thanks to you for tell me about the name of the jumper wires
Nice fix Phil that is good solution with solderbraid to create a pad much better then use jumper wires.
Gotta love those people who yeet things for the techs to repair! Tis our bread and butter!
Haha yep, keeps food on the table for sure 🤣

cool thanks for video, I brought the mechanic solder mask in Australia it cost $13 AUD for 10g.
That seems a little over priced but not too bad really
Wicked video mate, hair grew back quick 😀
Haha yup 😆 nah this is one I had pre recorded in the archives from a month or so ago lol
Great videos as always Phil. Love the content
Thank you bud, much appreciated
Great job mate 👍 👏 👌 always enjoy your videos 📹 please keep them coming 🙏 and here to help get your videos 📹 out to everyone 😀 👍....cheers mate 👍
Great fix ,fix it phil
First, I just had a PS4 pro the other day, would not boot, bad hard drive. Thanks for the video Phil
Nice mate, hopefully it didn't troll you like you troll everyone else 😂

beautiful repair job!

Yeah I'd say mainly a cost factor if I had to guess. Its a shame because so many of these get damaged and end up being thrown away
Quality job, as always. 👍
Thank you 😊
May i ask what is the heating setting on the heat gun and the solder stick
so you scrape copper around the old pads and make new ones using solder ?
Great job hope it never comes back again. So common people breaking things to while clean them. All good intentions but need to be more carefull. Reminds me my Pc power supply fan bearings are on the way out need get a new fan.
Haha so is the cooler on my laptop fan 😂
