I remember going to my friend Jamal's house in maybe 1990 and that day we were playing Contra... he died on the last boss in Contra Nes. He was so mad, he yanked the nes off the big wooden tv and started to jump on it. His Dad came downstairs and simply looked at him, then looked at me and said "Congratulations Mike, my son just donated all 50 of his Nintendo games to you" . Jamal started getting upset with his dad and his Dad said "No, I'm not going to bother hitting you. You've just shown me how much you hate video games and I promise you'll never own another video game again as long as you live in my house" ... Of course, this was 1990 ish so basically he could go to pretty much anyone's house on the block and play video games but he was never the same kid after that.
Bro I am a Mobile technician I like the way you work you keeps on talking and telling the fault and solutions and tracing the exact fault great God bless you bro ❤❤❤from India😊😊😊😊
Nice Fix! Since you don't work on a lot of older boards you may not see the use of an electric desoldering gun. The 14 and 28 Pin DIP chips on older boards are a great example of when these electric desoldering guns are extremely handy. Everyone does not work on HDMI connectors and ceramics caps 95% of the time.
@@NorthridgeFix I know Alex. That's what I always notice for sure. You carry the most common sense tried and tested tools for the bench tools for sure. No doubt and I really like that. That's the reason I commented because I see facts on both sides. I see viewers could have a use for them, but I don't see that great of a benefit for your work bench though. For many of us it's just something to take up more space and not worth it. I do see how some may find them more helpful! Keep up the excellent repairs! 👍
@northridgefix I have a heated desoldering tool that works a lot like the sucker you have except it's heated. It does need to be flat on the board, but the plunger is exactly like yours. The heated part is like a soldering pencil with a hole in the middle. I used it to fix over 100 Commodore 64 computers back in the 80's. At that time, a professional desoldering station was $400 and the tool I got made by OK Tools back then was $30. I had used desoldering bulbs like you talked about several months ago and I agree that they weren't that great. There is one disadvantage to the heated desoldering tool I got. Because there is a thin metal tube that the solder goes through before it gets to the plunger part like yours has, the tube would gradually clog and I had to use the unclogging tool they supplied to clean it out. I'm thinking I might order yours and see if works without frequent cleaning. I see you use yours a lot, so it must hold up well under frequent use. I really appreciate that you use the tools you sell so we can see that they hold up under heavy use.
Alex, a trick I learned when I was an apprentice in the 80s. Put a neoprene sleeve over the solder sucker tip. It enhances suction at any angle, prolongs tip life and prevents pcb damage.
Yes. Cutting the original tip reduces the suction, albeit only slightly, and means you have to rotate the sucker each time. Silicone sleeve also allows an iron to be kept in place longer.
oh no. sorry to hear about your mom. hope she recovers quickly. it was great meeting you today and sorry for interrupting this video! thanks for showing me around too. so cool to see where the magic happens! and you're not kidding, the nf sucker i bought from you works amazingly well! really really pleased i don't have to buy a desoldering gun!
Desoldering 'wands' are better than desoldering 'guns', while manual solder suckers are good for small, quick jobs but a real pain for large jobs. Overall I prefer the desoldering 'wand'.
A proper desoldering gun (with temp controlled tip) works well If you work on inverters or welders. The IGBT's, MOSFETS, capacitors and transformers are quite big, with lots of sonder. The correct tool for the correct job. I can't see you using an electrical solder gun under the microscope. Ouch, hope your mom heals quickly (and completely).
Sorry for your mom, she should heal up quickly. Electric de-soldering machines are a better choice if one works on equipment with a majority of through hole components. Why? Because the tip only applies heat to the component being removed and removes solder completely. Also, there is less chance of overheating the trace and damaging it or knocking off components that are nearby. I use all three tools depending on the job: De-soldering braid, a quick solder sucker similar to yours or the de-soldering station when removing many through hole components that are close to each other. I also use your low melt solder when appropriate. Thanks for the video.
Hi, I'm from France. I discovered your micro welding videos yesterday and this work is even more exciting when you learn through your videos. a simple man who simplifies complicated work with professionalism and passion. thanks for that✅
That's typical for mothers and grandmothers. Once my mother was supposed to take care of our children. But before we left we had some coffee and cake. While we sat there my mother told us that when baking the cake her pinky accidentally got into the kitchen mixer. She insisted that everything was okay and her pinky was fine. However, her finger was broken two times and needed two surgeries and she can can barley bend her finger today. Thank god it was "only" the pinky. So, never mess with kitchen mixers. They're really powerfull as are mothers and grandmothers!😄
Best wishes to your mom for a quick and safe recovery. A desoldering gun is invaluable when doing recaps of through hole components. Even for HDMI ports it would probably be better than using a solder sucker because I've seen you struggle several times with the eucker to clear through holes, and I promise you that you won't randomly knock components into the 9th dimension with a soldering gun. It pays for itself quickly.
The electric de-solder is better suited for thru hole and larger components and really needs a long warm up time, right tool for the right job. The nf sucker is an awesome tool!
I hope little princess recovers soon.... I enjoy a lot when you upload 15+ minutes video because there's always too much to learn in your videos.... Much love from Pakistan.
Guessing it found its way on the floor, off a table or something, while still plugged in, and got ripped out or something. Dog knocked over the table or who knows - lol. Just a guess.
That "Oops!" 😲 was fixed. It's the mistakes that just about can't be! Kind of wonder how those ports got damaged like that! 🤔 Good to keep a cool head when things like that happen!
Quite strange seeing the solder sucker. I used them at the start of my career but when I watched these videos it was mainly solder braid but now the sucker is getting used so much now
Always cool to see! I'm honestly surprised you're using one of those suckers rather than one with the silicone tip. They work so much better. I have a Kotto and Engineer SS-02.
Every time I get one of these in for connector replacements, it's always the same story - it fell off the table/bench while plugged in and landed on the back. I'm guessing that's probably what happened to this one.
@@mohammednovalijaDepth of field on the camera may be too shallow for that to work. It would probably have a time focusing across some boards, as he would be adjusting it to see either end (granted, if the board is fixed to bench).

Hello and don't be tired, engineer Alex As always, accurate and clean, even better than the factory... Mr. Alex, I have a question, can you tell me how to test cq ceramic capacitors!? Like ordinary capacitors or is there another method? thank you very much
If BIG BOSS cleared it, I'm a say "INVOICE & PICKUP!" This kind of damage happens when people/kids are too involved to pay attention to how the lay out their wires. It only takes one clumsy or clueless person or a larger pet, to catch one of those wires, and rip the entire thing off the entertainment center, table, or tv stand. I've seen it happen. If you watch while he shows each connector, there's a pattern in the direction the damage is going. Doesn't prove what I posted, but it does suggest possible scenarios, in most cases. Not many accept responsibility for their mistakes or actions. So, gravity gets thrown under the bus. 😏 Hope for a fast healing and return to life for your Mom! I have fallen twice in the past year, bruising 3 ribs lower left side, but broke nothing from either fall. Getting old sucks, like the NFSucker! 💯👍✌💯
I’m assuming maybe the ps5 fell down from angle with the cables and damaged those ports. Could have gone worse if they got ripped off. But great work as always! 💪
I have a family member who damages electronics in a similar way. If the connector doesn't go in they just keep pressing harder and harder until it does (or it breaks).
I want to see Hussein Ali from 9-months ago arguing with Hussein Ali now about why you should and shouldn’t use solder suckers. To think it all started with a free pack-in sucker with purchase 😂
Why you shouldn't: Your website doesn't sell any. Why you should: Your website now sells them. I have a feeling we'll see the same thing happen with desoldering guns in a few months. 😄
I've owned dozens of consoles throughout the years and I still have no idea how people damage their USB ports or HDMI ports. I've never once damaged mine.

Hi Alex, you inspire us. I want to repair a hifi amplifier, need audio grade capacitors like ELNA,Nichicon and resistors etc. Where can i find these online? I am in Europe.
So you know how the day one PS3 had capacitors with manufacturer noted life span of 5 years at 80°C? What would you say about the reliability of a PS5? Would you say this console will last as long as a PS2?

Sucking molten solder off of a junction is much, much quicker than any other method except for removal by wick from pads. No more needs to be said.

Maybe they company that makes those suckers could make an attachment thats already at an angle so you don't have to cut those.
probably the usb/hdmi cables they have at home are broken as well and need new cables. Those needs to be inspected as well.
may Allah protect your family.and she get well soon.

*Open it up, clean it out, shoot a bit of silicone lube on shaft, re-assemble.*
