Everybody has their strengths and weakness. It's great that Alex didn't rip him a new Via hole over this. He knows Linus's strength isn't in micro soldering, but in technical side of things and reviews. He gave constructive criticism to show him the correct way. That is a true master of his arts. That's why I try to learn as much as I can. So one day, I'll be 1/64th as good as Alex. He's a Top Tier person.
Alex you gave me the courage to replace the charging port/ribbon on my 5th gen itouch, first time i ever use a hot air station. I had the parts for the repair for over 6 month. After binge watching about 6 month of your videos for several days I finally worked up the courage to do it. It was better than factory when I was finished. Thank you Alex!
U know Alex, lots of time when i tackle a board, im jealous how fast, and efficient you are. i think back to the video when you said, maybe its your fault that people think its easy to attempt the repair themselves. i totally agree with you, it is your fault. 🙂 another thing i do is after any board, i literally clean the board spotless because i swear i hear your voice in my head saying “i see sign of flux” IM SURE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE.
I agree. Usually after repair I ultrasonic bath boards and then ipa bath and allow to dry on heater at 70 degrees. Also it may be ocd on my part 😂😂 Solder on brothers
So deserved to be recommended by so many. Keep up the great job Alex and thank you for showing us all.your amazing skills in soldering and brain behind fast troubleshooting
فعلا بتستاهل ⚘️ حرفيا شاهدت كل فيديوهاتك ولا حلقه فاتتني من سنين. مبدع دائما ومتقن لعملك وهاد شيء بفتخر فيه كل ما اشوفك وبقول في نفسي هاد الشخص من عنّا الله يسلم اديك يابن العم ❤️
Alex. I watch all your videos and this gave me the confidence in soldering for myself. Practise makes all the difference and after a few ettempts on broken boards i am now able to use a microscope on all my soldering. I still make small errors, but that is what comes with practise.Thank you for everything you do in your videos and i look forward to the next one. Take Care
I absolutely love your reaction/respond videos. These are so funny and informative lol I’m a huge fan of NorthridgeFix. I’m always saying your quotes in my repair shop and I refer customers to your website all the time. Keep up the amazing work!
Linus is an entertainer. His movies have to contain failures. For professional problem fixing, we watch your channel. And I love it how you have a big smile when you fix a problem. Your life is filled with puzzles, you solve most but some will be a question for ever.
you are terrific Alex. Especially a repair shop you have to move, move, move, quick and accurate. no time to waste in businesses day. People may get confused. You take the time to show and teach but your not a school. Your a shop. So everything xtra you do is way cool 😎.
I remember how i discovered Northridgefix, from another fan of you, on another channel, with a guy fixing electronics devices. I was curious, i watched one or two videos of you, and i saw a very serious guy with a "poker face" with a strange voice, but something kept me looking more videos. Now i love everything that he does, his jokes, his way of thinking, his motivational videos, everything!!! Thank you so much Alex for being such a nice guy, and sharing with us your secrets, wich are priceless! God bless you, and your family!!!
You work hard for yourself & your family Alex. You work long hours but still manage to edit & upload videos so we can be educated for free by an Expert Micro Solderer. You deserve the praise and references on that Laurel & Hardy video . Hope you find your Million Dollar home in California soon and enjoy a settled and peaceful rest of your life with your family.
Because of you i was able to change an Nintendo Switch USB-C Connector, it works perfectly , i hear your Tips while doing the Job. Great Job that you do, thank you Alex!
I also mentioned you a lot on Twitter after they asked me how come I could fix laptops and other small electronics so well. Because of your videos, I can handle bga much better now. Recently successfully repaired a Dell XPS 13 9350 whose ram memory I replaced. It is better than new as you would say, however I have been using that term since the 1970s :-) You are doing a great job!
I’d like to know how you knew which RAM was defective. I deal with motherboards repair and I still want to learn how to be better in trouble shooting. It’s actually a fun game because I enjoy repairing the boards so much. It’s like hide and seek, so what are your tricks?
@@kossieseii85 I replaced all 4 and don't know which chip was broken. It was not possible to probe the defective chip because of the compact design of this notebook, so replaced all 4. Was a little more work, but it went smoothly. In my opinion, the notebook runs faster than before with these new ram chips. I had been having unexpected blue screens for a while and one morning it stopped booting and got the error code 2x orange and 4x white. After replacing the 4 rams the notebook runs very smoothly again.
When I bored in my repair definitely I watch always @Northbridfix videos so i will get energy and motivation thanks Mr. Alex even related my repair or not and nice speaking respect all thank you again bro
They’re all absolutely spot on correct. I’ve learned an astronomical amount from north ridge fix. None of us start out being awesome but north ridge fix is a place of learning to do things properly as possible. Thanks for all you do for the profession and the community that follows
After a few months of watching NorthbridgeFix i now have a much better understanding and will one day buy the tools needed to change USB ports ect. thanks
I am new in repairing boards of laptop, your video helps me a lot and putting myself to buy tools that needed in repairing even it’s expensive. It’s inspire me to work hard and practice more. Im from the Philippines
In the end everyone is good at something that's what makes people unique in their own way. Alex thanks for the soldering tips. As someone who just started learning, the advice you give and skills you have and show are very inspiring and awesome!👏🏻
I learned your videos to solder but when it came to doing it I burned too many other components and pads even tho I had your exact setup Alex since I bought your exact equipment I still couldn't do it due to lack of experience. PRACTICE is the mother of all. I will learn in the future as I go. Thanks for selling me the best equipment Alex. Appreciate ya. - Ari Guy in the TESLA.
I really don't think people realise you would put a surgeon to shame i consider myself a pretty capable man I will try anything I build whole cars from scratch from flat pieces of steel for a living I can rebuild motors I do machining,welding I do alot of modelling aswell building tiny stuff like model planes from scratch so even very intricate stuff and much more so im pretty confident and great with my hands and even I struggle with some of this stuff that you would call easy let alone how long it takes me to do it its like watching paint dry 🤣you really are a master of your craft like you said its so easy to watch and get confident but thats because you make it look so easy
1:50 it's hard to see since LTT didn't had many good close-ups, but that micro-HDMI connector has two rows of SMD pins, so wouldn't be almost impossible to access 2nd row with iron tip?
well im gonna big you up again Alex , i've never see a man do as much attention to detail as you !!! the components you work on are absolutley minute !!! i could only dream of doing this kind of work
So happy that Alex and Big Boss are getting the recognition that they deserve! Definitely my favorite channel of 2022. "Here we have an ASUS laptop that came in with no power" that makes me smile every time :D
To be fair the connector could not be soldered by hand because it had 2 rows of pins, one on the outside and one on the inside. The only solution was probably to try heating the pcb up from the bottom (with the risk of the bottom components to fall down, but they can always be resoldered by hand).
6:20 You are very welcome, it's recognizing your expertise at it! Very great, man. 9th dimension... Ahah, all time classic, you need to do a t-shirt with your classic quote. Keep it up at what you doing best, Alex!
'Practice is the mother of all skills', great phrase, I haven't heard this before. It came as no surprise to many who watch your work that you were referenced so much on the Linus comments. There are lots of very competent micro soldering technicians, however, I have yet to see one as accomplished as you.
But the thing is, if you never try, you'll never know if you can do it. I've never pulled a glass back off a sealed smartphone before but I managed to do it without cracking or chipping it, managed to replace the battery without breaking anything so I'm quite proud of that. However, the battery is not the problem so I'm still investigating the issue, possibly a dodgy charging port.
Funny that you'd upload this - I watched Linus' video earlier today, and the whole time I was thinking "man... that's not how Alex would do it... and where's your microscope!?"
Your awesome Alex thank you for all your videos and awesome tips you share with us keep making videos for all your loyal followers i know it's hard work but we love your videos Thank you shout out from the windy city Chicago
I just got a microscope and tools from you I’m learning the trade as a hobby right now but I’ve been fixing stuff for years successfully just not the micro components so I have the basics now I’m gonna learn this part I love it so far!
i Would say there is one exception , you can do microsoldering from watching videos if you have at least some basic experience and brain AND YOU because you are the best ❤ always the best ... better than factory Thanks for the Content ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What amazes me is you sit back in your chair relaxed and calm like your watching your favourite film yet you are soldering microscopic components like its nothing, thats experience right there
I have not watched the video yet.. but I sure will .. always good learning from other peoples mistakes. Funny I have mentioned your channel on many of the other tech channels.
thank you Sir, even though im still learning how to repair but your videos are my guides on how to do it properly, please continue to inspire people, greetings from the Philippines 😁
Imagine if this PCB rocked up in your mail in list... Still wondering when the JaysTwocents collab will happen... I could have missed it already since I live under a rock (Aussie).
As someone who taught many people for decades my trade as a toolmaker, I was never in fear of someone taking my job since my skills were always top notch. The sign of a highly skilled person is their willingness to share their knowledge with others. You sir are one of those persons. Thank you.
Hi Alex, I agree with you 100%, you need a microscope!!! My son Chase talked me into buying the one that you use and I've been repairing communication electronics for 41 years and I wish I would have had one the entire time I love my microscope and wouldn't trade it for anything! We all want to learn things there's nothing wrong with that, but I tell all my customers and I also tell Chase to tell his customers... "It's better to pay a tech than to make it a wreck!!!" Keep up the amazing work!
I was attempting to fix an HDD and had the very important bios chip on my tweezers to read on my chip reader. SNAP! It flew in to the air, never to be seen again. It wasn't super important luckily... still felt bad about it because I wasted hours searching for it. And still to this day I look around my workplace and hope to find it.
The only thing I dislike about this repair content on LTT channel is that they pretty much always make a huge unsuccessful mess. It creates a lot of untrue expectations for what is reasonably fixable and what is not among layman viewers. For example one time they tried to solder back couple of ripped pins off an AMD CPU. Guess how it went. But on your channel you demonstrate how to solder a dozen of these back to back effortlessly. Same thing with HDMI connectors. And like, it's not anything like black magic. All it takes is someone qualified.
You do it yourself when you know what you're doing most DIY's don't realize by the time you buy all the stuff for the job you could have paid someone who knows how to do it. Reminds me of the story about guy changing his own oil with his friend by the time he went got all the stuff to do it , lift car drain oil change filter and refill have a drink with friend and chitchat, lower car clean up and still had to get rid of oil and filter, his wife left had her oil changed got coffee went shopping and was home in house before he finishes his all day project.
I love how he looks at hey this is not his main skill. And burning a flex cable yeah I'm pretty sure anyone who soldered has been there. I've been soldering for 5 years and I remember the one time a few weeks ago I was working on something that luckily the flex connector was easy to put a new one on because it was a socketed flex. Still feel bad about burning it though on my own bored. Like always love the videos
This is the mistake I made when I was a amateur hobbyist, I would watch videos of micro soldering and try but would fail 9 times out of 10, I just thought I was not capable of it, bought a trinocular microscope and tried and done it first time, having a microscope makes all the difference
Yep thats why i always practiced on broke or dead devices i got for cheap trying to remove and replace similar things til i had confidence to move onto actual thing its same thing like sports and video games and other stuff if you drill yourself to do something multiple times when the real important part comes youl barley have to think about it that much because you already went over simular situations many times .
When I see the video of Linus doing the micro-soldering, I just went cringe for a moment and I remember how you do it properly with guidance by Alex. And you the only one can do a “Better than a Factory” soldering ☺️
I like how keyboard warriors thought you were gonna bash him when instead you gave praise where it was deserved and explained that he is not a micro soldering expert and even you can make a mistake. Very professional of you.
Hello NorthridgeFix, could the work you do with micro soldering be done with a stereo microscope but using only a 10x lens? I'm thinking about the AmScope SE400Z. Thx
Hello, i have a little technical question i have an old msi mainboard (ddr 1 time) und i tried to solder out capacitators but the tinn wont meld i even gone as high as 600°C with my soldering station can it be they used another material?
I am from Pakistan and i have seen all of your videos and when a new one comes out i watch it as soon as i can ..... Thanks for all your help @NorthridgeFix Hussain may Allah Bless you with more ... 👍

If a connector like that falling down is bad, what about a 0201 component jumping out when you have a carpet on the floor :)
Alex we all love you man, your work is epic, keep the videos coming, you have a whole community following
Youre the best in the business. No surprise a lot of people mention you.
6:20 You are very welcome, it's recognizing your expertise at it! Very great, man.

thank you for doing these videos, in your busy schedules, i really appriciate you and all you share.
Same in my shop when I drop buttons of I never find that because there is a black hole which suck it.
I like your attitude Alex! You are one in a million!. You are a GURU material to others for board level repair.

best regards all the way from Philippines 😊
This is a great video! Pure soldering comedy!

Very true words
Does anyone know if in the End...we get re-united with all the components that went to the ninth dimension? .....asking for a friend.
Hi Alex,
I agree with you 100%, you need a microscope!!! My son Chase talked me into buying the one that you use and I've been repairing communication electronics for 41 years and I wish I would have had one the entire time I love my microscope and wouldn't trade it for anything! We all want to learn things there's nothing wrong with that, but I tell all my customers and I also tell Chase to tell his customers... "It's better to pay a tech than to make it a wreck!!!" Keep up the amazing work!
I was attempting to fix an HDD and had the very important bios chip on my tweezers to read on my chip reader. SNAP! It flew in to the air, never to be seen again.
It wasn't super important luckily... still felt bad about it because I wasted hours searching for it. And still to this day I look around my workplace and hope to find it.
Ever plan on useing a simple magnet to hold a small component that has metal on it like the hdmi connector?
Northridge knows his work 100% , except one, please sell all products or recomend where to buy them , for example quality solder flux
Alex your review is professional
Not hurting that guy👍
One time I lost a chip out of a guitar pedal when I went meddling with it. I found it about a week later, stuck into the bottom of my foot
I posted on that video a microscope and low melt solder would have been a tremendous help.
Try to lay down a flashlight on the floor, and the shadow of the components will show, its now easy to find the 4rth dimension.
The connector will flow down over the solder ? Right I've been doing everything wrong all this time
The only thing I dislike about this repair content on LTT channel is that they pretty much always make a huge unsuccessful mess.
It creates a lot of untrue expectations for what is reasonably fixable and what is not among layman viewers. For example one time they tried to solder back couple of ripped pins off an AMD CPU. Guess how it went. But on your channel you demonstrate how to solder a dozen of these back to back effortlessly. Same thing with HDMI connectors. And like, it's not anything like black magic. All it takes is someone qualified.
Patience and knowledge gets you far
FR they get the least qualified people to do these repairs
You do it yourself when you know what you're doing most DIY's don't realize by the time you buy all the stuff for the job you could have paid someone who knows how to do it. Reminds me of the story about guy changing his own oil with his friend by the time he went got all the stuff to do it , lift car drain oil change filter and refill have a drink with friend and chitchat, lower car clean up and still had to get rid of oil and filter, his wife left had her oil changed got coffee went shopping and was home in house before he finishes his all day project.

Still feel bad about burning it though on my own bored. Like always love the videos
The right job is done with right tools and right skills in combination.
You are the best at what you do hands down
I like it you are not trolling but explaining the points
i just also notice he set the the hot air got gun too high. something 438c instead of 300-310c
The parts look bigger in videos till you realize how hard it is when starting even with a scope everyone fails sometimes you try you practice
It was a mix between fun and frustration
Northridgefix casts on one of linus' video us all what we need. It will be a multiverse experience. 😅
Wow, I was about to go and write a comment that you should do a tips and tricks react on Linus video and you have already done one! 😄
This is the mistake I made when I was a amateur hobbyist, I would watch videos of micro soldering and try but would fail 9 times out of 10, I just thought I was not capable of it, bought a trinocular microscope and tried and done it first time, having a microscope makes all the difference
Thank you for all that you do.
00:20 Northridgefix would have been pleased to hear this reference 😂
Hey Alex my bln0 1g5a ic is burnt in 3090 is there any alternate
Yep thats why i always practiced on broke or dead devices i got for cheap trying to remove and replace similar things til i had confidence to move onto actual thing its same thing like sports and video games and other stuff if you drill yourself to do something multiple times when the real important part comes youl barley have to think about it that much because you already went over simular situations many times .
I think we are the same age. You give a lot of good advice. Thank you for contributing to the community
Great knowledge as always 👌
You can with high power reading glasses. I have done it. Now my eyes are not so good I need microscope. I want the new one v2 you are getting.
When I see the video of Linus doing the micro-soldering, I just went cringe for a moment and I remember how you do it properly with guidance by Alex. And you the only one can do a “Better than a Factory” soldering ☺️
this video was done very respectfully
I like how keyboard warriors thought you were gonna bash him when instead you gave praise where it was deserved and explained that he is not a micro soldering expert and even you can make a mistake. Very professional of you.
both of you guys are my favourite youtube ❤ 😊
When I saw Linus' thumbnail I feared for the camera's life.
Hello NorthridgeFix, could the work you do with micro soldering be done with a stereo microscope but using only a 10x lens? I'm thinking about the AmScope SE400Z. Thx
