Hey Joey, just wanted to say that you inspired me to follow my dream and get a new job at a local repair shop. I found you through Phil's channel, and he motivated me to follow my passion and learn how to do more in-depth solder work. Your videos are awesome, and watching your skill set grow has been one of the funnest parts of my life recently. Thank you for your videos, you're awesome
I think I would have gone with that tiny wire through that via on the other side and strenght the connection that way. This was my only thought or decision that would have been different on this job. Anyways, great Job Joey! :)
Those two pads that ripped cleanly off was probably why it didn't stay put though. They were clearly isolated and not originally grounded. You could see the intentional clearance in the masking there. What is sad though is seeing how none of the anchor points used via-stitching to improve adherence. Those molex socket/plug combos give a lot of leverage to the cable with their tall stack so anchoring is key.
This is the sort of thing I wanted to do as a kid, I know 42 and still wanting to get into this industry, however my disability prevents it, currently. Firstly due to lack of training available in my area, I am in the country (and in Australia). Secondly my disability limits the time I am actually functional.and thirdly the cost of training I don't have funds to spend on massive courses.
we are all self taught, start small, buy broken stuff on ebay or facebook and try to fix it. learn from youtube @LearnElectronicsRepair get an understanding of how circuits work. there is always a way - Sean
@@lawrencemanning Looks like the connector has been wrenched off by a person rather than failed, the through hole large cap and connector were probably unavoidably so
Fail as in “break” no matter wether it’s careless use or what. The connector would have faired better if it was throughhole, that was my only point. And since it has other THT parts why not make that connector THT? Ah well, that’s enough from me.
It is coated with enamel so not conducive untill scratched or melted off when you apply solder but the cut end is resting on the edge of the ground pad which isn't the best. Good job over all tho!
SPOILER
I can confirm that the customer said it's working :)
Thank you for the video and for the update Joe, I really like watching every video of yours :)

Cool story bro ( and I mean that in a non sarcastic way!) Good for you!
Same
Never seenna John Deere Circuit Board before. Nice. And a nice fix as well.
Great Video and Repair! "Little Joey" with the "Like" sign was Great too! Thank You. 🙂
Glad you liked it!

nice fix
The smaller enameled wires can go through the via's save wrapping it around. Not always but sometimes.

Wow solder braid as a pad?! Genius. But what made you choose wire for the bottom right connector and not the solder braid like the others?
Probably because that area was kinda too small for his braid. Maybe if he would have cut it in half thinner it would have worked out...
I would have crossed the pad area with the braid though and anchored on both sides, just to give it less give to avoid ripping.
@@1kreature An other good idea! :)
so joey why are you not making real pads from thin copper sheets and glueing them in place using wick just seem cheap and lazy?
I've never had an issue using wick for ground pads.
Bah. Why don’t they make these connections using throughhole socks? It’s absolutely mental to use SMT connectors here.
Fair comment, but simply because SMT can be easily automated and is therefore cheaper, through hole not so much.
That board already has other THT parts (those electrolytic caps for one). I’d say those connectors are SMT just to make em fail early.

it's not unknown to pull through hole connectors off boards too and cause much more damage!
That last wire u bent for connecting the via hope didn't touch ground

@@JonnyFix thanks a lot
Nice repair - something a bit different.
Didn't notice any mic sounds btw - I was paying too much attention to the things you were doing right!
thanks for enjoying the content :)
I love your content 👍 but please do something about all the scratching sounds 🙏
Coming soon!
as usual, very bad build quality, it holding only by 2 small grounds legs
