Nice job! Without the battery, you could do a continuity check between pins and motherboard/PCB.

Your dexterity is amazing. Rock solid hands!

As always a great lesson very thankful for these as I get older I want to learn more and more this is a gold mine of knowledge.

i just like listening to your voice and your wisdom

You could apply to become a certified Asus repair shop, then you can order pretty much any parts you want.

This is satisfying. I can watch this for ever without being bored.

The steady hands of a surgeon! Maybe you missed your calling. Great skill.

I saw Stez Fix? use copper band for that pad job worked out pretty nice. Might want to check that out as well.

Great work as always

I have a power supply here that have some burnt off tracks and I'm really not sure how to solder them back on. I used a thicker piece of wire, but it looks ugly and it'll be too dangerous to take a thinner piece of wire and bend it into the shape of the track. Is there some sort of tracing thing I can do similiar to what you did with the pads or not ? Thanks.

Be Careful when replacing the battery on your Asus laptop. The battery connector on the motherboard has a metal cover that must be released before pulling up on the battery cable. The connector is weak. A Broken connectors with missing pads is a very common repair that we do especially on Asus laptops. I don't know if it's the user to Blame or the connector design.

Do you always use leaded solder? I moved to leadfree for some of my home projects some time ago. It's definitely a different thing to get used to.

Good night my friend! I'm from Hyper Informática do Brazil, I've been looking for this resin a lot to separate the pads that come together when we clean with solder mesh in the reballing, so the balls don't come together and other services like this one from your video, what's the name of this resin? I have been following your works, they are fantastic, may God bless you in your work.

good job easy going ....😍😍😍

Great job Alex!

The vids where you raise pads from the ashes are my absolute favorites. Beautiful, masterful work man. Btw, I was going to buy an Asus laptop before I started watching your vids - NOT!

Great videos Alex!!!!!!! I have just a quick question to ask you. I was wondering if you know what kind of batteries I need for replacement of the Mechanic VC04 short circuit finder. I posted my question in the forum 4 days ago and I haven't got any answers yet. I would really need the tester right now but it's not working at all.If you don't mind have a look at the forum and you'll see what exactly is my problem. Thank you very much. From Ontario, Canada

A small hot spot welding device to make a solide joint to those small electrodes will be better than soldering them and adding green resine. Good luck.

It's on the tweezers Alex :)

Can you use a small amount of the solder mask to help hold the replacement connector in place?

What’s your advice to someone just starting to get into this business? Where should I start to really start learning to troubleshoot electronics?

good work bro Nice Information

Its too bad beeing a youtuber takes a lot of time, i would actualy watch a tv show about a business like this, greet customer process to delivery process. Not only the repair process is interesting, but the background process is also

Very interesting... I tore one of those connections off my own laptop a few months ago. :( I levered it in what should have been the right way? But it came away so easily... When I finally disconnected the two halves later. I was amazed, how it had stayed in place while I tore the whole thing away! I am not generally bad at assembly etc. But that connection was so flimsy.

Corrosion is why you always clean up the areas you work on with a 99% isopropyl alcohol, even if it's "no clean" flux, always clean the area before and after working on it.
