im no pro but in the case that the flux got on the chip and you cant tell where the dot is to tell you pin 1,if you look at the back,the earth square on the bottom of the chip has a rounded corner on one edge where pin 1 is as pictured at 10.53.if you look the square is missing the corner,great work @northridgefix
i love how you always add those subtle conversations from different customers. it really gives a good understanding to the watcher on what kind of questions you get everyday as a repair shop. Greetings from chicago!
Good advice on the solder station. I'm 50 yrs old and started learning repair about 2 years ago and think the same way. My inexpensive China machine is doing a fine job for what I need.
I got the Ksger soldering and hot air station. For both separately will run you about $150. Or they make a combined unit for $200. Great budget unit for the hobbyist/Beginner. I found them cheapest on Bangood. Then I got my flux, low melt solder, copper braid and multimeter from this man right here!
It's so refreshing to see your reaction when you fix something and its successful. I still get the same kick out of making a successful repair ... keep it buddy
@@Finditfixitphilipit yeah I know mate I just don't personally use it because I can achieve the same result using my tools and leaded solder, just takes patience and practice :)
I used cheap to begin with. Maybe £100 was spent on cheap soldering iron and hot air gun with a few accessories. Earned that back in the first day and now I own £4000 worth of equipment. So as you say can be done with a cheap station just takes a little longer than you do it. I swear by low melt also but not many people I know who work on boards use it.

Thanks for all the videos, I am learning a lot from you, one of the best youtube how to... thanks, and go on with the good work, and i have to say this: the satisfection when the job is done is our fuel for all next repairs...
Its better to solder the legs of the hdmi port on both sides of the board. It gets loose in time with only the back soldered. And also when used lead free solder there is less force needed to brake out the port than with leaded solder
Hi, just few information for all the novels..how you know that the problem for "no signal" was only that chip ? it should be interesting investigate why that chip is dead.. Great Work anyway , happy new year at all from Italy.
Hi Alex, im sure you've answered this question before and I apologize for asking again. can you tell me what hot air station you're using and also where can i get that hot air stand holder that you use.
good day sir i have a question about diode and resistor and mostpet like i IC ..where did you buy all parts like you replacement tool pasts .....i hope you to answer my question i'm find and searhing like you complete box parts ......thank you sir i'm you're follower from phillipines sir ....
Do you do mail in repairs? Never had any issues with my Xbox or hdmi port. I fell asleep last night with the Xbox playing a movie, woke up the Xbox power on and the tv powered on from the Xbox controller, but no video.
why does a ups cuts power off while there's electricity, and not using it's battery, any tips on where's the problem? It's a PowerMax brand 1200va m, i use it for my ps4 and it reset on yello light while there's electricity.
PS4 fat HDMI port can be removed by adding lead solder to the pins and the legs, then placing the board on your bench so the HDMI port is facing the floor. You apply hot air from the back and you circle around. You can also use your soldering iron on the legs in rotation to apply addition heat to the port and board in that area. It should drop to the floor when enough heat is present
When you solder the legs of a port, is it better to bridge the legs if possible to make a more solid stable port or is it best just too put it back to factory?
I’ve seen both done. I think those holes carry enough solder for the port to be stable, but bridging the legs (not the pins for anyone else reading) is just as good. It sometimes happens that way anyway if you haven’t used low melt solder when wicking those holes due to the extra heat needed because the ground plane is so huge there, you sometimes melt the green solder mask off which was happening in this video.
@@Infiniti25 yeah it does seem reasonable on a HDMI port that the 4 legs and large holes allow for enough solder to hold it. I have just seen too many ripped and mangled USB ports/pads that SEEM like they would benefit from a little leg bridging. I have never done that.....but am interested in if it would actually add any strength. Specifically to ports that are.....sketchy to begin with. See that A LOT on camera ports....the factory seems to use the bare minimum just to hold the port in, even though its heavy use like a charging/data port.
@@mattdunlop6056 as long as you verify that all what you intend to solder together are the port legs with a multimeter, adding bridges will add strength so it can’t be pulled out, it will just pass the point of failure on to maybe the plastic tab holding the pins in the user accessible side of the port. If it is a proprietary hard or impossible to find port I wouldn’t do it, I’d rather be able to reuse the existing port (if at all) than risk no chance of reuse. If it’s a micro USB port you can do it. I think I’d rather add some hot glue to the back side of the port for strength and allow the possibility of reuse on some ports 👍
FYI, If you look at the thermal under the chip, it has a corner which points at the direction of pin number 1. You don’t have to clean the top of the chip to find the dot.
People have such clumsy and heavy hands now days, always breaking their consoles especially hdmi ports. LIKE HOWWW LOL. But good video though always love your work!

Seeing that new hdmi in place, nice and clean..is just magical
Years of experience in short videos that's amazing 👍
Another great video, I was saying on stream a couple of days ago how good you are, keep doing greatness 😃
TheCod3r he is great, but you give him a run for his money. 😁
See Phil with the low melt this is exactly what I'm talking about and like him I swear by it. Yes it costs some extra money but it's well worth it
@@Finditfixitphilipit yeah I know mate I just don't personally use it because I can achieve the same result using my tools and leaded solder, just takes patience and practice :)
@@jasondoesthings919 i don't know so much, i focus on only consoles not general electronics
@Digital Resurrection I don't like using solder paste. I tried this before and does not have the same desired effect
Today we missed your smile of satisfaction after fixing a device😀
So fast repair owing to your experience, great work here

Incredible duo :) - which flux do you use?
Am tech 559 flux. this guy always tell us .
It’s also in the video description. Why read given info, when you can request for a personal response.
Hi, wich microscope is used for the video, where can i buy one? Excellent videos 👍 you're awesome Sir!
Surgeon skills 😎
Amazing job Alex , where could I get that soldering tip and at what temperature do you typically keep it at?
What' your microscope and lens you use? Great videos!
I was happy to see the ic ship falling that way coz i always wondered how it looks from the bottom hahaha now i get it!
First like and then watch.

Thanks for another great video. Greetings from Turkiye
When can I get, my northridgefix, better than factory t-shirt?
excellent job brother hussain
Good job!!! When i playing your videos I’m relaxing ^_^ !!
Goodjob boss im filipino tech im always watching ur video i want same to you multi task repair😊😊😊

Excellent as always
Great job and video like always
Fun to watch
I wonder how those pins get pushed that way? Minus the obviously someone apply too much pressure on the cable.
I have to say again awesome like always
We can call you a real pro
Love you brother

Hi Alex, im sure you've answered this question before and I apologize for asking again. can you tell me what hot air station you're using and also where can i get that hot air stand holder that you use.
Beautiful
What brand and model multimeter do you use? I haven't notice you mention it yet.
Lovely 🏵️ Great job sir 👍☺️
Man i dont know why but u remind me of adam sadler xD keep up the good work
good day sir i have a question about diode and resistor and mostpet like i IC ..where did you buy all parts like you replacement tool pasts .....i hope you to answer my question i'm find and searhing like you complete box parts ......thank you sir i'm you're follower from phillipines sir ....
GREAT JOOOOOOOOB SIR
Why do you sometimes clean the solder with the wick and sometimes you don't, how do we know when the solder needs cleaning?
Do you do mail in repairs? Never had any issues with my Xbox or hdmi port. I fell asleep last night with the Xbox playing a movie, woke up the Xbox power on and the tv powered on from the Xbox controller, but no video.
Amazing skills!
So you didnt remove the solder from the top side pins you just spread it left to right ?
2. Whats that Xbox One X chip called ..retimer chip?
Yes retimer chip he sells them on his website in the description
Vara level..👌
well done
good job sir..
hi
i have one question .
what kind of hot air machine you use ?
i'm watching you from palestine
What does a repair like that cost cuz I know a ps4 is cheep
Awesome 👍
Nice work 👍👍
How do you get HDMI legs out ? I dont get it. There were a lot of solder but suddenly not
great job keep it up
awesome man!
I like you man you are funny and you do a great job thank you for the nice videos

Do you use anti static on you body ?
does anyone else try to move the picture with their cursor? I love a freshly wicked circuit board. Looks like victory!
Why does the retimer chip always fail on the Xbox one x
At what temp do you use the soldering iron at?
370°c, most of the time for me

replace your soldering iron !
@@Sadenki it’s new ....
@@LCDLCD-cl2qp You need a good one, Like Hakko FM-203 or JBC CD-2BQE
