Thank you for showing how a trace repai can be done! I am just beginning to learn and enjoy watching your videos! May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
Appreciate the awesome vids and refreshing sense of humour Steve. Always puts a smile on my face when I see a new addition to the library! Happy Christmas!
Where is the Rap ;-; also I would love a top 10 list of your favorite raps you done so far this year too! I know many don't like them but I love you expressing yourself in every video and keep up the good work!
have you ever thought of using a Conductive Ink Pen for when you have broken traces, i've used them for model making and they work a treat. should work on a circuit board no problem
Cool. Glad it's fixed. I can't order anything still because Canada Post is still on strike. I did manage to get a box of PC components for a build I had ordered like 3 weeks ago. I don't know WHY it took them so long, but it came purolator today. *shrug* maybe they shipped it because it was taking too long or they got overwhelmed. Who knows.
I would have connected the wire to the resistor pad and left the hole open for the pin header. Another option would have been to directly add the pin header during this repair.
Just out of curiosity, why do the hot drop and then go over all the pins by hand again? Couldn't you just tin the pads, do the mounting legs and go over the pins?
@@MichaelM28 Ah, OK. I get you. I can't say I've noticed Steve using them but in my last job we used lint free poly-cellulose wipes to clean flux from PCBs. Maybe that's what they are?
I believe it's a TP4056 board with some thin resistor or other through-hole component legs soldered on the output so it's easy to slide into the battery connectors.
Nice fix, but i am struggling to determine what use the tester actually is. You are testing a 24 pin plug/socket, but only have 5 points of measurement due to bridging of common lines. Maybe its just me missing something.
This is one of the many things you can use for anything your imagination can come up with. I have a 3D printing pen that had a weird barrel connector for USB power. Lost the cable and modded the pen with such a breakout module to accept power from USB C. Now I can use any cable instead of just the one very special one.
Dont forget, on a USB lead, there is only 4 wires unless it is a charger cable, then there are only 2 wires. Not all pins are used. I have a thought that the pins are there for the future if they discover anything else that a USB port can be used for.
if the cable has only 4 wires, then it's only 2.0 spec. you still get higher transfer speeds with a 2.0 cable on 3.x ports, but to get full SuperSpeed, you need a USB 3.x cable which has 9 wires. I'm also pretty sure that modern devices and chargers do some kind of handshake over the data lines in order to provide more than the usual 5v charging.
Great speaking voice, awful singing voice. Don't 'sing' bruv, it's really creepy sounding, level 1000 cringe. Count your blessings, :D at least you have a great narrating voice. David Attenborough didn't ever try to be a pop-star ;)
This is a happy little Christmas present. A stezstix fix video in the middle of the week! Thanks steve.
Two videos in a week? Must be Christmas! Hope you have a good one Steve and that you get lots of faulty electronics to fix!
He probably forgot to schedule it and made it public instead.
This definitely makes a lot more sense to repair than that hell you put yourself through with last week's PS thumbstick.
Can't argue with that 🤣
2 vids in a week!! Banging!! Merry Christmas
Stez on a Tuesday? Awesome
My Tuesday just got better.
Happy/Merry Christmas to you and yours Steve!
Thanks Kevin, same to you! 🎄
What about the other ground on the connector? At the moment, ground will only be present when it's plugged in the "right" way round.
He checked both grounds for continuity , they must have a common earth
@@why_wait They are only common on the breakout board, not on the plug/socket.
Thank you for showing how a trace repai can be done! I am just beginning to learn and enjoy watching your videos! May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
It's better done with copper tape.
Even a doctor is confused seeing such perfection
I recently discovered this channel. Warts and all it never fails to delight and educate in equal measure. 😊
There's a total lack of Santa hats in this video so I feel short changed. Come on Steve, less of the bah humbug!
I love that song! "Breakout 🎶"
Ooooooh Swing Out Sister! Love them!
Appreciate the awesome vids and refreshing sense of humour Steve. Always puts a smile on my face when I see a new addition to the library! Happy Christmas!
Always love your videos, no matter how simple or complex. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
2 videos in 1 week, what a treat
a Sneaky, Cheeky Tuesday video. Thanks for that. Nice one.
Where is the Rap ;-; also I would love a top 10 list of your favorite raps you done so far this year too! I know many don't like them but I love you expressing yourself in every video and keep up the good work!
Usb c is a fascinating design. Especially when you look into the multiplexing of the video lines on the nintendo switch
What happened, feels like Sunday! Steve, Techmoan and James also dropping a video on Tuesday, wow!
Need my fix of Stez fix stuff thing 👀
Swing Out Sister! Nice!
That was a "SOLID" repair in my opinion...
Merry solid Christmas😊
Always a good show from you, how about flattening the wire to reduce its thickness.....?
Another great vid thanks man i hope u and yours have a wonderful christmas
I want to complain about there not being a rap. I'm very disappointed. 😢
I tried skipping backwards from 00:00… 😢
Merry Christmas! Hope Santa drops many toys to fix.

Disposable vapes are an good source to pull out USB-C
Merry Fixmas!!
Great video watching this on the tube
Cool. Glad it's fixed.

I started saying "continuity" the same way you do when I use my multimeter ... 😀
Steve keep being the best electronics diy fixer on the net. Love your content very much 😂❤
I knew Swing Out Sister was coming as soon as I saw the title 😆
merry christmas
I would have just thrown it in the circular archive aka the bin😂
Then again it is a good practice project plus it makes for content
Is it xmas today ? 2 vids in 1 week ❤
Nice Thumbnail. "Countdown to FIXMAS"👍🏼
Whatever happened to your MMV Tee Shirt?🤔
thx i forgot that song, its the one thats in many keyboards as demosong in the 90s
Could you trick it out with spade connections and some wires with crocodile clips and probes on that you can swap out?
Might be simple but still fascinating. What solder do you use, mate?
I’m curious what usbc port part that is. Have the link handy by any chance?
If you needed the ports anyway, makes sense tossing that little money at this vs. paying more for a new one.
I would have connected the wire to the resistor pad and left the hole open for the pin header. Another option would have been to directly add the pin header during this repair.
Had to be Swing Out Sister for the outro 🎉
Where did you get that solder mask curing widget?
Hi... where do you get your leaded solder from? All i can find is the unleaded type
Just out of curiosity, why do the hot drop and then go over all the pins by hand again? Couldn't you just tin the pads, do the mounting legs and go over the pins?
Congratulations on your new haircut
No rap! It must be Christmas 😊
I suspect you only fixed that so you could sing Breakout 😆
Oooh. Nice!
What are those clear cloths you use to clean up flux?
Cloths? They're cotton buds.
@@steve.b.23Not in this video. In a lot of his other videos he uses some clothes with a brush to clean flux residue
@@MichaelM28 Ah, OK. I get you. I can't say I've noticed Steve using them but in my last job we used lint free poly-cellulose wipes to clean flux from PCBs. Maybe that's what they are?
Can you tell me specifically what part number these ports are? I keep getting the wrong ones.
Random question but whats the thing called you use to restart dead batteries? 🤔
I believe it's a TP4056 board with some thin resistor or other through-hole component legs soldered on the output so it's easy to slide into the battery connectors.
@ronsonwagner9401 thank you 👍
The tunes!!!!
I think you should use soddering too, so that he Americans know that you are soldering something lol
No one wants to see Steve soldering!
what a great song lol
Dave... please can you ask voice-over-Steve to ask other Steve.... what temp he uses on his hot air please.
Gas Mark 17.

Good evening.
Request for an extended karaoke StezMix of Breakout
Nice
How did I know that Swing Out Sister was going to be the end song🤔
on the first day of xmas my tue love gave to me.....
a usb seeee....
SOLID
good qucik video. no idea wha ta breakout board is
"chayna"
A lot of my purchases lately seem to also be, coming from, China?
Are you SURE it was the breakout board that was stupid in this case? lol
Какой спирт использовал? Почему в этом видео не показал 99% pure? ))
😃
The left GND isn't connected.
I really find it hilarious with the "stupid " ending on these videos 🤣
I always see you pointing to 'this video here', but they are never actually showing for me. Ever. Wondering if you're just pulling our legs? :D
It's an option you can turn off in TH-cam settings from memory. They are definitely there for me.
Oi, You USB-C Nutter! ❤
a usb c breakout board is what? .10 cents? lol
Whenever I'm working on my car and gotta bust out the volt meter, I always say "in voltage...DC" before I check the battery
USB-C USB-C USB-C
Be good to see how you record your music and raps if you get bored soldering!
“Chi-na”
Stupid Port 😅😅😅
CHY-na
Stupid pads
Your snowflakes are octagonal. But they should be hexagons 😢

Welcome to the 21st century.
why are you fixing a 25 pence board
So you can comment.
TH-cam is getting more and more sinophobic lately. That's a shame.
Great speaking voice, awful singing voice.
Don't 'sing' bruv, it's really creepy sounding, level 1000 cringe.
Count your blessings, :D at least you have a great narrating voice.
