The IR device was so sensitive to heat, wow. Soldering it without damaging it was one of the more amazing displays of talent. I love watching Alex do his work.
i check everyday for his uploads , honestly my favorite youtuber , im patient and i understand that uploading every day is huge task to do , no matter what he is busy with , im ok with it and hoping the best , looking forward hearing from him
Your soldering skills are awesome! I have used "Nickel print" to connect to tiny LEDS. Basically, it is a high conductivity adhesive. I use a drop of crazy glue to attach the led and then join the pads on the LED to the traces with a small drop of conductive glue. MG Chemicals - 841AR-15ML Nickel Print (Conductive Paint)
It baffles me that car manufacturers, who know the daily abuse that a fob goes through, have not sought simple ways to protect the delicate electronics. Just further proof of the awful trend of saving a few pennies with no real concern for the end user. Great technique and video.
Not they don't care, there's more money with bad parts like Benz key fobs, they don't just sell a fob that'll start the vehicle right away, it requires programming/coding to the vehicle which is additional fees, plus, Benz vehicles after 2014, only dealers can add keys to these vehicles, so there's money to be made for em
It's part of secondary business. They expect you to buy a replacement from them instead of repairing at the prices they established beforehand. And they're not cheap.
Twenty years is a descent service record given the abuse you speak of. That cheap fob has outlasted many of the cars put on the road. They do be using some shady practices though.
They're in the business of selling parts Sure they can apply a layer of epoxy on it, but then these repairs would not be worth doing. So if you own a Mercedes, don't throw the keys around like people used to do. Always hand them over
NF Mini is a fantastic soldering iron. I was amazed at the heat it can generate. such a great tool to add to the bench, Alex! thank you for all you do!!
There are two things which we could use here without soldering: One is a graphite adhesive, the 2nd is silver adhesive. You can see them on a rear window of the car which is heating up. Next, once it's holding, you can either use a UV mask to harden it, or you can use a super glue + baking soda. I don't have examples of using it on this YT channel, so can't show it in action, but you're a smart person and for sure can do it ;) just on your own.
Amazing video! I will not get tired of seeing key fob repair videos =). New camera angle looks amazing! And for sure KEY FOB tester makes the diference =) Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us! :D
Alex is hands down the best at what he does. he makes it look so easy that he makes me think i could do it. knowing damn well Id destroy whatever i touched lol
I had a diode fall off a laptop motherboard and the laptop wouldn't turn on. It was tiny and there was no chance I could solder it on so I treated it with the good old super glue. It has been 6 years since and the laptop still works
Hi, Alex. I enjoy your videos a lot. It is very satisfying to see your reaction after every successful repair. I was just wondering why you are not using soldering paste? Is there anything specific why you prefer only regular leaded solder?
Hey Alex, texting from Ireland 🇮🇪. I have an lg 6lsy soundbar. The issue is sound keeps dropping every 30 minutes, if I raise the volume to max it gets lower. Turn off and on back to normal for 30 minutes. I know you don't work on soundbars but I thought you might have an insight as to what it might be. Thanks..... long time viewer. You're the best tech person (guy) I've seen.
Hello Alex. Always watch your repair. Was wondering way you don't use low melting point soldering here. Other option I see is dot soldering. Thanks for read comments also.
Another way is to grind near the sensor and put the soldering iron tip near to one of the pads so you can melt the solder under it and voila you take it out
Wondering a bit how they solder the IR Component in factory... What it the trick not to melt it down in SMD soldering process? Just very accurate temperature control?
I fixed my dads key fob, he presses too hard and the button connector breaks off, I fixed it twice and keep telling him to press gently but he is stubborn so second time I added support with hot glue and it's been going well over a year now.
RF can be jammed. Thiefs use jammers in parking lots hoping people just press lock and walk away without checking if the car actually locks. In such a case you can point your key at the sensor at the door handle and still lock it. Also with theses old keys IR is used for communication when the key is inserted in the lock. That's how the customer noticed the issue - he could unlock the car but not start it.
fun fact: if your IR car keys stop working and you measure the coin battery in a tester, it could be measured in good range of capacity, but it is still not enough for the key. IDK why, but most of the car keys require high capacity of the battery.
Can you help me i my Seagate OneTouch 5tb extranal drive stop working . It only vibrate for 10 sec and switch off. I have basic knowledge of component. Can you help me .
I was wondering why a key fob would use IR in this day and age and then I read the title of the video. 2002 car... Ohhhh. My car made in the early 2000s didn't even have a remote control key fob. Must be one of them fancy luxury cars. Didn't know the "fob" keys used IR to start car. Never had a car that came with a fob used to start the car. Why would you want an expensive fob to start the car instead of keys is beyond me. Since it wasn't keyless as you still needed to insert the fob.
Hello sir, is everything ok?
We missed you & big boss.
Waiting to see you again.
The best for you and your family

Can you fix a PCM

@@daniloservellon7817 No.
You should probably search the internet for a replacement module.
I'm looking forward to seeing a new shop and some drone footage in the upcoming videos. Alex gonna have a smile a mile wide showing us around...
i check everyday for his uploads , honestly my favorite youtuber , im patient and i understand that uploading every day is huge task to do , no matter what he is busy with , im ok with it and hoping the best , looking forward hearing from him
I hope everything is ok, 4 days without a video.

its simple my good friend.
they want it to break.
key fobs can cost $700 from the dealer. They dont fix it, they throw it away, get a new one for $700
That look on your face at the end: “Done. I’m going home happy.” Nice
That was just beautiful how much talent and hard work everything is. Loved this video. Thanks for sharing.😄
NF Mini is a fantastic soldering iron. I was amazed at the heat it can generate. such a great tool to add to the bench, Alex! thank you for all you do!!
Thanks for getting back to this position as we can see what you are doing. Great Video!
أشعر بالراحة النفسية عندما اشاهدك I feel good when I see you working many thanks to you and the boss of all bosses
Give this man his flowers! Absolutely insane how skilled he is wow!
Best thing in your videos is the happiness smile on your face when you finish repairing something successfully 🤗
Quick check of IR is to point it at the camera. It will pick it up. You could actually see it during one of the last tests.

But that would not be better than factory.
Wow... You truly are amazing... Your skills are unmatched by most any other. That was such an amazing solder job!!
It is very satisfying to see your reaction after every successful repair
i was hoping you post a video each day.
Excellent technique and skill as always. That IR component was so delicate it seemed like it had foam inside. Crazy.
Great video. I like the new/old camera position.
Amazing soldering Alex, years of experience helps. I should buy your mini pen.
Thank you for your helpful videos!Greece is watching your beautiful job !Greedings to BIG BOSS from Greece!

@@rickmartin6817 No that's called experience.
Talent is the dedication to keep doing something until you have the experience.

Pumping content daily 🔥
Reliability plagues automakers. . . Ash trays would fill up & vehicle would need to be traded in. . . You GO Alex ! ! !
No update? ??. Are you guys are good ?

Nice technique, doctor.
You are a MAESTRO ans a Shaikh-al-Mashaikh ! Bravo!
Hello Alex. Excellent as always. Thank you.
That steady hands !!!
Really enjoy your videos, thanks

That smile at the end is the key! Alternative job for Alex - microsurgery at a hospital!
You are truly masterful. Thank you for the great content.
Yet again a masterful fix!
You good use your phone camera to see if the infrared controller is working this works so well
The fact that you didn’t assembled the rest of the car, shows that you are not trying to avoid a world of complaints … 😢
“How are we gonna take this component out? With our teeth?” LOL 😂
Waiting for your next video 🤠
These short ones are great
Good job mate 👍
good old video angle nice. 👌🏼
Happy holidays to you and your family
Hello Alex.
Always watch your repair.
Was wondering way you don't use low melting point soldering here.
Other option I see is dot soldering.
Thanks for read comments also.
Great work. Great fix. Great video. Thanks. Greets
10:20 - I had no idea such a FOB tester existed. Frequency of 314.9
Another way is to grind near the sensor and put the soldering iron tip near to one of the pads so you can melt the solder under it and voila you take it out
Amazing as always
I am wondering if hot air from the bottom and some soldering paste would have also worked for soldering it back in place?
Wondering a bit how they solder the IR Component in factory... What it the trick not to melt it down in SMD soldering process? Just very accurate temperature control?
I fixed my dads key fob, he presses too hard and the button connector breaks off, I fixed it twice and keep telling him to press gently but he is stubborn so second time I added support with hot glue and it's been going well over a year now.
The content was perfect.🙂
Honestly i like to see the messy table all natural 😅
4:56 that happens to me often 😆
Nice repair. I wonder how that delicate IR diode survived the original construction process without melting.
Don't know how many times I already heard "314.9" on this channel😂
how u remove first IR component of donor board from other side, u cannot use hot air from bottom cuase u have good ir in that side too, im curious
Betther than factory.... Good job
Nice job 😉
You are very skilled! I am wondering how you knew which way to place the IR diode?
Awesome job
ضحكتني لما قلت متل مكنسة البلدية 😂
If it is that heat sensitive why not use low melt solder to connect it to the motherboard ?
Well done 👏✔👍👌
Where are you Mr. Alex ? We missing you
Came in for repair.
Good Job 👍🏻
If you point the Fob to the camera you you will see if the IR is working, if you have a screen with live feed of course
forgive my ignorance. But why does it matter if the plastic melts a little for on the infrared diode?
with doesn't affect the functionality does it?
I'm puzzled why an RF keyfob also needs to have an IR transmitter?
RF can be jammed. Thiefs use jammers in parking lots hoping people just press lock and walk away without checking if the car actually locks.
In such a case you can point your key at the sensor at the door handle and still lock it.
Also with theses old keys IR is used for communication when the key is inserted in the lock. That's how the customer noticed the issue - he could unlock the car but not start it.
Perfect 👍👍😀😀
Couldnt you have glued the ir aswell a bit? It seemed kinda fragile with just two solderjoints.. but then again im a noob :)
That was amazing.
fun fact: if your IR car keys stop working and you measure the coin battery in a tester, it could be measured in good range of capacity, but it is still not enough for the key. IDK why, but most of the car keys require high capacity of the battery.
no ending music, it is the end of the world for me
Be funny if the customers doors kept unlocking with the trunk open! 😆 Nice fix. 👌✌️👍🇬🇧
Very nice sir✌
Are you okay, I haven't seen a video in like 3 days from you. I hope your alright.
Where are you bro please upload more videos ❤️
What is the purpose of the panic button?
Thanks
hi. my Yamaha keyboard floppy drive stopped working . something wrong with the circuit board. any hint please
What Crazy Fragile Component...
I would have destroyed that IR device. Lol I guess I should buy one if those pens next.
Alex, how often do you get to repair robot vacuum cleaners?
More nintendo switch videos please. Still upload those you weren’t able to fix. Please!!
Does anyone knows where is Alex, I'm waiting for next video... :(
works like magic
You're a master
nice Vedio ☮️👍
What is the name of the big white magnifying glass in the back?
Magnifying glass ring light or lamp
Looks to be a standard magnifying ring light! Available anywhere and very handy!
Can you help me i my Seagate OneTouch 5tb extranal drive stop working . It only vibrate for 10 sec and switch off. I have basic knowledge of component. Can you help me .
low melt solder?
Do you have any laptop Repair Course to join in?
