In case you didn't know, small things are packed that way because it would get lost otherwise, not for "damage protection" that other bigger items lack of.
Nice job, just to make things easier for you you could solder the wires to the pins before soldering the usb connector because it's small and it can get cramped on the board. Also you could test continuaty between the connector's pins and their endpoints or vias before applying the mask because it could get very messy if you have to redoo one. Great work for a first connector job, I definitely burned my first usb connector

When I've done connectors. I've always cleaned like you di. But first things first. Make sure the main support legs are fully soldered all the way through to the front. When you only did the large legs I noticed that the component was moving. That's not flat. Plus bend the four connectors by helping yourself and bending the pins down for better conction.

Good quality job, It was entertaining to watch because your techniques are very different from myself. Everyone has their own ways to get to the same end goal. Keep it up! fun to watch.
I found a post on Reddit where someone showed the same board saying that it goes in a "Cubii" that his girlfriend uses under their desk. It's a charge board for that Cubii-something.
Oops! psst. (bend the connector pins to spring against the pc board a little before soldering the supporting stubs) Super skillful work. Haha.....'better than factory. in a shop, on the earth, orbiting around a star, in a galaxy, in a universe'.
i used to subscribe to alex but frankly really disagreed with his methods and was disappointed with the repair to my 3090. no explanation as to what they did, why they could not fix, and why even after not being able to fix it and charging me the repair fee, why shipping was still an additional cost to the repair attempt. i would prefer to send any electronics i may need fixing in the future to you as you seem to care about your work a lot more than he does. he goes for the faster repairs and it seems his approach is more "lets fix things as fast as possible and the ones that would require a more thorough diagnosis, just claim them as no fix". i dont need any repairs as of now but you will be the one i contact first
He maybe have skill, but everything else is terrible including policy and business practice. And his fans love to dogpile anyone complain with "but he has a business to run. It's expensive". LOL. That's his choice too. He thrives on his "no fix" / "repair attempt" fees, i.e. "if it isn't low hanging fruit, charge them for not even doing full diagnosis let alone repair " and then hoping they don't want to pay the BS fee, so then he can actually repair it and sell their "abandoned" (ransomed) card. He has all the abrupt curtness of Louis Rossman but without the courtesy, politeness, and professionalism. 😉
Everything comes back to time. If you have so much workload, you would do the same. We are all humans, after all. He may need to employ more workforce and charge little for "no fix" items.
@@don4techy no not if i care about the customer feedback and wasting time going back and fourth. people would be asking questions to the repair ticket in my situation. wastes time vs putting disposition on the report to the customer in the first place. besides card working when drivers are not loaded vs it no image once drivers are loaded usually means bad memory chips. my card was working basically past that and he deems it a no fix and wants to charge 100 to send it back. thats ridiculous. ill send it to someone looking to scam people less thank you very much
hey I was screaming you're attaching the wrong terminal… Your amazing working on GPU's and it was fun to watch you do this. I've done a few myself and I would've just used a solder blob instead of the wire whenever I can… But the wire your way of doing it does have better longevity so hats off to you… It was a little painful watching considering you're a magician when it comes to GPU's but of course you are skilled the end product was a perfect repair… You are amazing and your channel here is fun to watch. take care until next time

You coped well 😀 It is good to get out of our comfort zone sometimes. For next time I’ve a couple of clockwork toys which need attention if you have the time? 😃
man! what an amazing job fixing those cards! a while ago my 3070 ichillx4 got burned! and i wonder if i can send it up to you? to take a look at it. but the point is i am from Europe (netherlands) 😩
I mount the board vertically or higher up and go in with a soldering iron from one side and solder sucker from the other. Or from the same side, i modified my ZD-190 solder sucker, i removed the plastic sheath, i made a new plunger top that is flat because my hands are smol and i don't reach it easily, and this way i can reset it by whacking on my antistatic mat or my thigh, and i pulled a piece of silicone 2mm/4mm RC fuel line over the tip, this way it's more similar to Engineer SS02. So with the silicone tip it's easier to get a good thorough pull even from the same side. Unfortunately after a while the silicone hose splits, i might end up making a new tip which has no PTFE nozzle and instead has a brass tube with 2mm ID which is much thinner on the outside than PTFE, less stress for the silicone. Can even shave off some material from that. Oh if you want better tools, there's of desoldering irons with vacuum, like everyone knows the Hakko one FR-300, there's a ZhongDi clone which is fine, some other more dubious ones. On the very cheap end there's the manually operated ZhongDi ZD-211 which is not at all durable but it's like 12€. Then there's some solenoid based one from some unknown manufacturer.
I think Alex is one of the most talented general consumer soldering experts out there, His technique's are very logical and I can relate to them the most. I will admit some of the things he says does come across a bit arrogant but he is a proud person in his work, if he feels special it drives him to be even better. It does get a bit annoying his sales promotions but I get why he does that, meaning when you are successful at anything - ppl want to know how and what you use, after growing tired of answering the same questions over and over you just make openly public the tooling you use mostly to avoid the constant questioning, this very Easley turns into a hole other business of its own once this happens. I also think his diagnostic skills are slightly lacking (Though better than my own) compared to others on youtube, however his skills in soldering more than make up for it, once he has a bead on the issue he is a master at the actual repair. Just my two cents.
You said. "I'm not a Northridge Fix'. You also haven't tried to sell your complete stock inventory to me in the 3 minute video you did either . I know who I prefer to learn from. Keep up the good work
Continually bashing another TH-cam channel is not something you should be learning from this guy. Is he good? Yes. Is he trying overly hard to be an asshole? Yes.
But it does work. I have purchased many of Alex's products. All good quality stuff. Wish me luck on 2 ssd, a 8tb hdd and maybe even a CD rom. Ps make sure you use wires specifically for the psu you are using. Not interchangeable as you may think. 😢
@@larkan511 Did I miss something? I did not hear any bashing going on. Based on the title of the video I simply think he knew ppl would be comparing his work to NRF. So he stated the obvious being don't expect to see the same techniques. This is the very reason I enjoyed this video, I swear every red light alarm was going off in my head the minute he soldered the conn to the board The only thing I could think was he was going to have to desolder it to fix the traces first. I was pleasantly surprised. Though I do suspect based in his skill that he did the repair in that order purposely just get get ppls attention, and if so It worked. That would make him a master at manipulating his audience.
I've been thinking, there has to be something one can use that is amenable to being removed. Hot melt glue isn't sturdy enough and may just let go if the device is alcohol cleaned later. Maybe just polystyrene dissolved in acetone or limonene, and then you can use the same solvent to get rid of it. OK superglue is also removed with acetone, and can be combined with baking soda to form a very strong material, i just find it iffy to be used on PCBs because when someone reaches in with a soldering iron later they get a whiff of very poisonous compounds.
The UV lamp you are using, is it the "BOERUI G-10W" (B&R)? I wondering because my UV lamp doesn't turn it self off after 30 seconds. It looks like mine is identical to yours.
You abtholutely did better the hard way, you thecured the connector before arranging the pads but in the end everything was nithe (nice) and clean, that joke of a president’s button thing really cracked me up but all in all is nice work. No offence but your accent is amazing to hear not far from Alex’s 😂
If I remember correctly I think that floating pin is supposed to be bridged to D+ so it gets identified as an OTG. I dunno I was falling asleep to this.
I want to get started repairing computer components but would like to find a video that goes over the items I need to buy. What is a good setup? I've bought a microscope, soldering station and a few other things but I need more guidance as a beginner. Any help would be appreciated.
Less shopping more training more fixing! If you hit a particular roadblock, you then figure out what you need, whether you need to just get better at doing it, or whether you need to buy or build something that would help you. What do you fix? or want to fix? I mostly fix classic computers, power supplies in all sorts of devices, and random relatively simple electronics and my favourite tool is LCR-T4 but odds are you don't need it. My next substantial purchases are going to be hotair to make some types of SMD work possible and some types easier, and maybe a proper oscilloscope, i just have a toy one. Do you need either of those? Hold it don't just run out and buy one, you need to know what you need and why you need it. Also i should get around to just order a ZD-211 someday. I make do without it just fine but it would make my life easier. I mean something nicer would be nicer but one step at a time. Sometimes i wish i had a preheater/bottom-heater when working with very multilayer more modern boards, but i'm not shopping for one.
"Better than FACTORY" NorthRidgeFix quote. :) You have to use these kind of words to manipulate (Increase confidence of your audience. That you are douing something genius) Even when you are just replacing a USB connector, or a capacitor.
You'd forgotten to say big boss will test it later and let you know if it was fixed 🙂
how did he forget about that
well he did forget to say better than factory
And praise for being the best big boss of all big bosses
And “we got it”
if big boss didn't test it, it's not fixed yet

OK superglue is also removed with acetone, and can be combined with baking soda to form a very strong material, i just find it iffy to be used on PCBs because when someone reaches in with a soldering iron later they get a whiff of very poisonous compounds.
The UV lamp you are using, is it the "BOERUI G-10W" (B&R)? I wondering because my UV lamp doesn't turn it self off after 30 seconds. It looks like mine is identical to yours.
You abtholutely did better the hard way, you thecured the connector before arranging the pads but in the end everything was nithe (nice) and clean, that joke of a president’s button thing really cracked me up but all in all is nice work. No offence but your accent is amazing to hear not far from Alex’s 😂
It amazes me how some people send their GPUs in a box with a single wrap of brown paper
If I remember correctly I think that floating pin is supposed to be bridged to D+ so it gets identified as an OTG. I dunno I was falling asleep to this.
More work, more vidoes we can watch.
This kind of work I used to do 15 years before in India now I do cpu reballing
It is nicely done couldn't do it better. I woulf first do the julper wire must be easier dan drop methode for soldering but good job.
here before it gets reuploaded
i really hate those usb "leg" holes 🤬 this video shows why
I want to get started repairing computer components but would like to find a video that goes over the items I need to buy. What is a good setup? I've bought a microscope, soldering station and a few other things but I need more guidance as a beginner. Any help would be appreciated.
Less shopping more training more fixing! If you hit a particular roadblock, you then figure out what you need, whether you need to just get better at doing it, or whether you need to buy or build something that would help you.
What do you fix? or want to fix?
I mostly fix classic computers, power supplies in all sorts of devices, and random relatively simple electronics and my favourite tool is LCR-T4 but odds are you don't need it. My next substantial purchases are going to be hotair to make some types of SMD work possible and some types easier, and maybe a proper oscilloscope, i just have a toy one. Do you need either of those? Hold it don't just run out and buy one, you need to know what you need and why you need it.
Also i should get around to just order a ZD-211 someday. I make do without it just fine but it would make my life easier. I mean something nicer would be nicer but one step at a time. Sometimes i wish i had a preheater/bottom-heater when working with very multilayer more modern boards, but i'm not shopping for one.
Wow, I didn't know we could send you things other than GPUs.
Did you use your NF.Sucker on this job?
Your mailbox was inside the delivery truck? :XD
A couple of your joints look cold. If it's not shiny it's no good.
"Better than FACTORY" NorthRidgeFix quote. :)
You have to use these kind of words to manipulate (Increase confidence of your audience. That you are douing something genius)
Even when you are just replacing a USB connector, or a capacitor.
good work and good luck
Shouldn't you at least test the connectivity for the micro to the JST?
I have, didn't you see ?
He will see it again
I liked the packaging
BigBoss is proud today .
The best part when you say (ahaa)😂
Wire doesn't appear to be proper calibrated. 🤔
haha yeah unfortunately the president atm doesnt know how to communicate and gets his ass wiped for him...
love it
Little bit slow, but NICE WORK !!!!~~~~~
