IMPRESSIVE. It happened to me several times. Assuming that something is ok and looking for the failure EVERYWHERE else. And right when you think "it can't be that piece" you suddenly realise it is indeed that piece who's causing you so many problems. I really felt this video. Keep up the good work! ❤️

Finally found a youtuber who is best in soldering ❤️❤️

One of the best straight-up teachers of electronics I have seen yet .....thank you👍 and I have watched thousands of tutorial videos on electronics

Dude .. you are transfering all your secrete skill knowledge to everybody , you're so generous ...

He has good soldering skills, but the approach he is taking is not perfect. The short was caused by himself and the repair was too time-consuming. You do only need to recover the data, you don‘t need to solder a proper port to it.

The short was probably from the first bridge you made, 7:57 a big tail is hanging out next to the track or it shorted on the connector pins when you soldered it on top.

Saw the leg crossing over a very fine fresh layer of solder mask left thinking if this doesn't short it would be miracle.

I thought no video would come today because every time the notification of the video used to come at 12:00 pm noon , but when Indian time came at 12:00 am tonight, I was very happy and I watched the whole video and liked it. Thank you

i absolutely love this mans video. i appreciate that it represents real world scenario. assuming the socket is compatible with the board is a natural thing to do however leaving in the video footage of this faulty assumption is NOT normal. in doing so he has given an amateur like me a sense of strength and confidence in my work. i am certainly going to watch more of this teachers content. thank you for your knowledge and straightforward instruction.

pin 4's jumper point which is D+ was right under pin 5 which was ground . so actually when you solder the jack onto it, the solder actually creeps under the pin 4 and 5 and makes a bridge under it which your microscope couldn't see. please check my referrence at 21:38 . I have been doing micro soldering since 2004 and these kind of issues happen when you solder onto jumpers.

Very impressive, great knowledge and experience to determine that the socket was the actuall problem, many wouldn't have figured that out and given up blaming the I.C, BRAVO!

You really know your stuff. I love your videos. I just want to say it's refreshing to watch a video with someone not so negative! U ROCK!!

One of your jumpers contacted a pin on the connector. It was the wire soldered to D+. When you soldered the connector on, it made contact with ground via the connector pin (I think pin 6).

The excitement 😄 for the blade, cool 😁👍

Thumbs up before I watch, just because I can 😁 keep the good content coming 👌

Could be wrong but looked like a missing component on USB leg side on the right...maybe... Please keep up the great work. I'm learning so much from you. Thank you!

Very good lessons learned here! Thank you for sharing your experiences. If only KZread had been around when I was younger. I could have saved myself a lot of time by watching Alex. :)

It's amazing and hypnotic. It's the first time I saw your videos, of course now I'm subscribed for more. Thanks for making it as satisfying training.

This video was a fine show. I am pleased to learn how flash drives work. I switched from digital video discs (DVDs) to a 3.0 flash drive. So far, I have encountered a storage problem with my data.

You’re awesome. You’ve inspired me to start my own business, so I thank you for the advice, excitement, and drive.

Your works are simply AWESOME

It is so satisfying to watch your work...

That tip about resting the side of your hand on your bench to stop it from shaking while you do precision work is the exact same lesson I teach new tech's when I train them. :)

you make it look so easy! NOTHING better than experience!

I think when you placed the usb connector jumpers underneath get shorted although connector should be fine. You should add solder mask and cured it first. My thought.!

Impressive video. Plot twists and ending with a cliffhanger. Can’t ask for better entertainment

Just wow ❤️❤️🔥🔥 The only one who shows all the secrets Thank you brother 😊

As someone who use to work in a repair shop, seeing you solder is like ASMR for my eyes lol

Hear you. Although (time & energy willing) I would want to take a closer look at that suspect connector. Unless it's common knowledge that such cross wiring exists in some spec? Should be easy to spot the cockup (UK saying, honest!). Thoughts? Cheers SoCalif🇺🇸

You’re not just a good tech but a good salesman. You just sold me on the blade kit I will probably get one next time I order more flux.

Awesome work!! Straight up genius.

Just found your channel. You are an excellent instructor !!

I think to myself, "why oh why can't these connections be standardized"? My personal favorite is the "center post Neg" power port. Great vids Alax, I'm learning a lot. Thank you

I think the short was coming from jumper wire number 4 that touching pin number 5 of usb port.

Socket? Maybe short circ. on pins with New cables-pads. Look 11:46 and later

I love my scalpel set also, so much utility.

Cool work. I never saw any USB sockets with a different pinout than this board used. Do you think it is possible the rework wire was shorting against the case of the connector?

Good job , we learn a lot of things from u sir And yes finally i found good KZreadr👍👍👍

Nice video...love those long videos and repair on stuff like a thumbdrive. That was really tricky, but we all learned something about this. I never knew that there are usb sockets with different pin-outs. Thought they have all the same pinouts like usb3.0 = usb3.0...but now, we all learned something. Perfect video. 👍👌 I have an idea for your video on soldertips, maybe you could explain why your tips always look so clean. Is it cause you are using a copper-wire- leaner? Do you leave a small spot of solder on the tip when you turn off the station?

@HAGmbHkeG

Жыл бұрын

maybe the socket is one that's supposed be mounted on the underside of the board so it has a mirrored pinout and it would be correct if viewed from the bottom? would have loved to see a quick comparison with the meter in diode mode. and yes, leave your tip covered with solder when turning off/letting it cool down to prevent oxidisation (tip not being shiny anymore).

My brother ur hardworking (masha-allah)❤️love from india

Thanks for sharing your knowledge , BTW how many years you have been working in repairing?

Wow! Thanks for sharing... Learn a lot!

You are amazing and explaining each step. Pls we want to see the multimeter value during testing electronic devices, just want to know how it is short and what's their value shown on multimeter. Thank you

I Like you and your the best reapering i have seen before in youtube so clean and good ♥️♥️👌

Great Trouble Shoot 👍🏽✌🏽

This guy is a master ,love watching him fixing devices great work what's the brand of the tools WILL be Waiting for reply have a good day

Awesome, after this Video i have only one wish for Christmas and its this damn great knife ;) After seeing this multi tool in its natural habitat its the one and only Knife. More its the King of the knifes :P But man youre work is so great, the simplest task in soldering i can do is wirering two cables together ^^

Best of luck I hope you fix it!

I really struggle tinning thin wires in situ, I use flux and plenty of it but I have great difficulty getting the solder to leave the iron. You can buy little practice SMD boards for about £3, you can even get LEDs to light up.

Please make such more videos. Your video is very helpful.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙏🙏🙏

At 13:56 you can see that the transistor component that there is a Solder blob shorting the component closest to the big yellow capacitor. After he removed the usb connector the short was gone and so was the solder blob.

Thank you so much sir im always learning useful techniques in your videos

I would suggest for this type of repair you have a USB breakout cable and breadboard. You can just solder wires to the headers and connect them to a breadboard which as a USB header on. You can keep reusing this. After all you never gonna hand the flash drive back and say sure just keep using it. It always as case of grab the files and the client can buy a new flash drive to copy them on to.

Nice video,Can you make tutorial videos series for example a series on how you can recover Data from all types of device like pc , mac , android and iphone.

super good job

VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO SIR GOOD JOB KEEP IT UP

Bro your work very nice,I like your work,I am working industrial electronics ,

3:13 "i do not have super-powers..." xD

thank you very much for your explanation

Hello...good work sir.Yes data recovery may tricky to recover.I ever restore thumb drive brand kingston 8GB and not able recover data cause by memory itself damage...most common fault is memory.except changed memory ic module and reprogram it and thumb drive can use like new one.

I think that blade is a concave 5192 and it's my favourite blade.

Hi! Just a heads up. When searching for your website on Google, underneath the "SHOP" link, there's a spelling mistake. You put "Lowes" instead of "Lowest". Great video!

Whoever sent that in definitely attempted to repair it.. js

The pause before getting up to help the customer

Great explanation and nice and neat work.weldone

I was having a walk in backyard while u were cutting wires and I literally stopped when u going to cut wires, nice blade it is BUT not a happy ending thumbs up anyways 👍

Persistance pays. So many people would have given up and and said the controller was the issue and issued a no fix.

The "Silicon Whisper"... 👍😎 P.S. Now my GF likes "your NEW tool" instead of my "OLD tool". Not happy @all Cheers from SoCalif🇺🇸

VOUS FAITE DU BON TRAVAIL MAGNIFIQUE

Im new to soldering and really loving micro electronics. My understanding was that you never add solder direct to the iron tip like you do but heat the part and add the solder to that? Amazing videos and you gained a subscriber! Thanks for the videos! Merry Christmas

If you’re using flux core solder only. You should do what you mentioned. But I’d you apply flux separately there is some lateral to add solder to the iron and apply it. Watch some micro solder videos you can apply solder to the iron and just drag it across all pins. With enough flux it works fine
