Good idea about flipping the connector. The laptop has two usb-c ports, this one is marked charger. You can't charge the laptop using the other USB-C, I tried that before replacing this one, but I haven't tried to see if you can send data via the charger port.
Those of us who where into quadcopters soldered many of the earlier usb sockets, over and over again. I only had a yinwah hot air gun at the time and I am very surprised they mostly worked. Now I have the quick it is so so so much better.
I use my preheater to help remove the 4 anchoring solder points (on PS5/Xbox HDMI ports) I just leave it on the plate as I wick away - It really helps the wicking process for me, Rich. I use a super fat tip (D4) on my iron when wicking! I use the BC3 tip if I'm using my T12 iron. The D4 is if I'm using my Chinese JBC knock off. (AiXun T320)
That is my belief though I saw Sorin over at Electronic Repair School do this successfully without a preheater. I'm not sure if his method is particularly quicker. For those who don't have a hot air preheater like this one i use, you can use a hot plate instead or even something like a griddle toasted sandwich maker if you make a little stand to mount the PCB over it. Just use a thermocouple so you can see what is going on temperature wise, those little thermometer meters are about €3 on AliExpress so get a couple of them. Those laser barbecue themometers that you use to check if meat is cooked could also be used for this. Basically the preheater can be anything that can get the PCB up to about 100C-120C and the hot air will do the rest for you
How can one get a hold of usb c replacements, amazon can be dodgy on these, it also doesn’t help with which one I am looking for, the device that I believe the usb c port is shot on is a vive face tracker, it has the usb c mounted parallel to the board with many contact points, I would put picture if that was possible on here but its not. The device can be seen by my computer but it will not show that its getting power nor operate.
Big solder holes like that use a hot iron and a flick of the wrist or sharp tap on the bench and their clean, but I'm ghetto and a cheap date ....cheers.
Good job but how will do it differently i use leaded solder fill it hole the holes then i use hot air 350 degrees . I see the solder is melted. Then i put the port on it and then solder it .
Yeah I saw Sorin do it that way. I prefer to use a preheater when I can as I believe it puts less thermal stress on the PCB but this I think is a matter for personal preference. I also like to line up the component before soldering if possible rather than dropping on the PCB.
@@stevedebeukelaer1424 Agreed. If you don't have one there are other methods that work. Having said that, a preheater could be something really simple like an electric griddle, a toasted sandwich maker, or a good size chunk of granite warmed up in the oven, so there's kinda no real reason not to have one 😉
I made a couple of videos using all sorts of solder suckers.... the results were interesting. And varied depending on what you are trying to do th-cam.com/video/vDQjGe1aYp8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/EoLa9ebjwGU/w-d-xo.html
Great work! Jeez though, 20€ for a box of 10 of those solder wicks? Cheapest I see now in the US is $7 a spool on Amazon, unless I want to spend $65 for 25 of them from Taiwan on eBay :-/
Those Solderwick are not the cheapest. Having said that a pack of them last me six months or more so in the end the cost is hardly a consideration and after I was recommended to try these I don't use anything else Here is the link I use www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006076105867.html?af=ler2022
My Lenovo will need this procedure as well once the second port gets as bad as the first already is. USBC for charging and all the rest in one was the stupidest idea ever. Those flimsy things cannot survive plugging in and out for years.
Although I love your work. This method is the only way how to replace those USBC ports. Anyone who works with heatguns should know this. But good work otherwise, made it look easy for novices. Be handy if you let people know the temperance airflow your gun it set to.
I did mention the hot air temperature, and the soldering iron temperature and tip type. I wouldn't say this method is 'the only way' as you state. A saw Sorin at Electronics Repair School do it two other ways. What this comes down to is 'what works best for you'. So I show the way I do it, others show their ways, people wanting to learn should watch and decide which they think looks best for them. If the really want to learn they try more than one method. Some people will think the quickest way is best, others may get the best results a different way.
No standards on sockets is rather challenging. You buy an assortment box and end up with a load of sockets you will never use. I wonder how many hours are wasted by technicians searching their assortment boxes to find they do not have the one they want.
@@alanrichardson1672 ever heard of CE marking? to get the certification you have to follow certain procedures. they couldn't sell it otherwise. they could just add this requirement.
As this is a double sided PCB with a lot of very small components near to that area on both sides, I stand by the method I used, preheater plus hot air, is the best and least stressful for the PCB. Of course if someone can convince me otherwise I'm willing to learn something myself 😉
@@waynetaylor2784 I can't disagree with you because what you are doing works for you. What I did also works for me. I don't see why that makes any one method better than the other 😵💫 To anyone wanting else try as many methods as you like.IMHO if you find one that is successful the do it that way and all will be fine.
Good job. Worth to check data lines communication as well and flip the USB cable plug to check if it also works.
this.

Heya, really nice job you can't see a differance between the usb you just as example and the 1 you solderd really nice
Thanks
Good work, nice and clean 👍👍🥳🍻
Previously tin the connector pins that makes the work more easier.

Great job Rick, I know that type of job can easily go tits-up. As you say, the right Pre-Heat is the key.

Ever tried the mini hotplates? Any good?
super interesting :)👌
15:30 hope u also did the other 2 anchor pins later? lol
Yes I did 🙂
Did you solder the other 2 big mount points on the USB-C ?
Yes I did, just didn't show that during editing 🙂
surely the 317H would be the one to fit seeing the code number is basically the same
It fitted the PCB so it seemed like the best option for me too

@@LearnElectronicsRepair i didn't think abouth the alternative you summed up 🤔
I think traditional hand operated solder suckers are very good and cost next to nothing

How would one separate plastic cases like remote controls etc without leaving gouge marks like one does if you use spudgers. Long nails come in handy

leaded solder just has a lower melting temperature than non leaded

its insane. EU mandates usb-C ports, why not define a handful of connectors specs (through hole, smd, 90 deg, etc etc) and call it a day??
@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei How much useless stuff is stored by technicians? This is just pure waste, nothing green here or protecting the world.
