Who does the video editing and uploading? Just curious since you seem to be quite busy with the technical stuff.

I was actually waiting for him to realise he should have worked on the traces before he soldered the board. Highly appreciate him accepting that and a really wonderful job. Even with all the constraints.

I initially thought the broken trace wires were long enough but then realized we needed to run wires to make the connection.

Much respect, NF. Well done. You saved that board from being garbage. Whoever removed the old daughter board didn't know about low melt solder, and ripped those pads & traces fighting with it. Shame on them. I've seen it a million times. Probably 80% of my work is oddball commercial and industrial stuff. These are good clients -- they need their stuff working YESTERDAY, but pay the urgency tax without blinking. Eyelet and trace repair best done prior to installing replacement parts. The goal is to make repairs that will not be ruined by future repairs. Equipment can be in service for decades, and be repaired many times, so ideally, todays tech leaves everything neat and tidy for future techs (at least, I do). FWI: eyelet repair kits are available to restore PTH's.

100%. Customer is great. Glad we could help him.

This was like an action movie. When I first saw the pin holes, I thought it was corrosion and my heart sank. Then you said it was just flux from the factor. I relaxed. Then came the plot twist: ripped traces! I was like 'oh lawdhammercy!' I saw you pan from right to left on the PCB and thought, "Dang! That's a long stinking board". I don't think I have ever seen you use more solder and Q-tips in one sitting on a single project since I started watching your videos. Broken traces were fixed and you coolly smiled like a pro. Man! This was stressful. Great job.

I really want to hear from the customer that it was a successful repair!!!

Repairing a Nintendo Switch or a gamer's graphics card is really neat and interesting, but this job represents someone's livelihood that you helped preserve. Much respect sir!

I have so much admiration for this guy! A true master at his trade! I could watch your videos for hours.

This vid is 3 years old. Ali is a hero. God bless you man. Sharing is caring. And yes its solder not f*cking sodder. Thankyou Alex!

I know nothing about electronics and stuff like that, but loved how professional you are doing that hard of a job!

Solder mask, is sitting sad in the corner crying out loud " fix traces and use me, use me, use me...."

This was quite a big, time consuming job. Your attention to detail, and fastidious dedication to testing your work is impressive.

After seeing your video my repair procedure is totally changed and I give warranty for each work for my customer and serve as "BETTER THAN FACTORY" 100%

I like how this man fix.. i literally enjoy watching you and learn how to fix things..thanks to your videos i can now fix my own thigs..

Before watching it , I'm sure it's gonna be very informative and a joy to watch 👍

"Let's not get overwhelmed and get the job done." 25:13 (Quotable! If you are writing a book... making inspirational posters (lol)... t-shirts... etc.) - it is half the reason I watch (your personality and the other half being what I (think I) learn from your open and sweet work - thanks!)

Everytime I watch you repair something, I am surprised by the easy with which you speak English, even though it obviously isn't your mothertongue. Hats of for you, sir.

I have clipped my two nails while watching this cumbersome job. I do watch every video of this superb guy. He actually enjoys what he is doing , that very few people do (took that profession that is of interest or love the job in which you are).

dude i love this videos, i'm a video editor myself and i watch you for relax and calm me when i'm editing... awesome job

That's the best industrial electronics repair I've ever seen!

That is a insane amount of work very precise. Watching these makes me want to learn this as you make this look straightforward and with practice could be doable. Thank you for all content you put out there helping others home there techniques and want to learn this type of work.

When a trace comes off in such a way, wouldn't it be more prudent to use more solder mask to lay it back down where it was? rather than using another wire? obviously using a wire where needed on top. The reason I say this is because the trace will be the exact route with the bends on the board and so just adding solder mask would just stick it back to the board. Soldering extra wire where needed. Obviously in this instance the board being soldered on would have to be done AFTER using this other method of re-masking the existing traces. This would eleviate the difficult areas if possible. After fixing the loose traces back to the board, to then re-solder the other board back to the mainboard. Just a thought.

Congratulations, you are doing the job very delicately..very precisely..like a doctor.

Great job. I like the fact that you pay very close attention to detail. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing you knowledge and expertise. Be blessed.

Fixing traces is a prioity in this job. Good work I really enjoied spending time seeing you and the hight quality and time you spend working and making informative videos for us. Thank you

Another good video....👍🏼. Why so many dislikes? I don’t understand people if you don’t like his content watch something else instead of disliking his work

You are fearless with these repairs. Instant sub.

It is better than factory. You are a micro genius. Thx for all the knowledge passed 🙂👍

oh i forgot to say i love you and your videos. great content. wise people that share are the best. thank you.

Am no electrician, but i enjoy ur videos, thx for sharing ur experience with us

Nice job! Im looking with interest your videos, always something new to learn. Thank you for your effort of sharing with us.

This type of unknown repairs is a very useful educational video for how to deal with these cases.❤️❤️🙏

Nice to see you work on something different 👍🏻😊

You made a very nice job! Cheers!

Sir you are very very skilful and done the marvellous job - I was amazed and loved your skills - though I know very little about electronics but enjoyed the complete video just to see the art of skilful work.

I love how you say “Better then factory”. That shows me and all the others you take pride in your work. When I see a dirty board with left over flux, it makes me think the person who worked on it did not care.

wow this 10k board would be trash but yet it is fixed keeping these expensive and toxic items out of landfills and in the factory's where they belong what respect I have for this line of work

I love the way you say its out.. Great stuff 👏

I could watch this all day it’s amazing

Nice job.Your work always looks better than factory.

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 Great peace of mind while doing this work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Keep it up🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It was fun to see you fix something out of the ordinary

It was indeed.

Excellent work! Those electronic boards are prone to failure and when they do, you need a technician to fix it or buy NEW equipment. There are computer-controlled washing and drying machines that are built to self-destruct. I have a 25-year-old washer and dryer with no computer circuits. Only had to do maintenance once with each machine with a few replacement parts like belts and cogwheels, cleaning up the insides, and it keeps going. Glad you are able to save this equipment from the landfill.

punishment for not doing the traces first = 1 week vacation. Thats what I miss most, I guess, is the constant flow of unknown mystery items coming in, never knowing whats next. Great work

That a very long curcuit borad takes a lot of soldering Wire,Flux,Soldering wick.. But Still you get the Job Done Brilliant work 👏👍👍👍👍👏🔬🔬 The Customer as to pay more Brilliant Work.....👍👍

That was some serious tight space right there!great Job Sir

Another great repair!

Nice video, uncommon device on this channel, great !

Simply great work $,👍👍👍

Absolutely amazing 👍

Amazing work!

Great Vid‼️ brings me back to working on 'paper inserting machines'. I worked with some older mechanics that would always do this garbage to me 🤦‍♂️🤣

I used to think people used solder wick because they didn't have a solder sucker!, you have taught me a lesson but too late in life. Imagine the hassle getting relays etc. out without the holes being 100% clear of solder, and we didn't have hot air 30 years ago!

Great job and video like always

Keep up the good work love the channel.

this was like a final graduate test in soldering skills, you are doing an absolutely great job in this big mess, good continuation bro, i salute you.

So you do quotation after a fix what happens when a customer is unable to pay? Also you're one of the few where I actually watch any length of video keep up the good work

Amazing job as usual. If I lived in the US I would love to work with you.

Really satisfying watching this video

That's fluxing amazing job much better than factory.

I've been watching your back catalog for a few days now. Amazing work! I just had to say I laugh at how you close each video with "We will do something else in the next video." Of course not - the next video you will be repairing more electronics. 🤣

Excellent work! I suppose you used the cat5 cable because the traces were too thick to use the usual thin cable you use always right?

Sir where is our Big Boss he can't seen in this video . anyway Superb Hard Work .i am your big fan from India 😊

"The holes are clean, the holes are deep" That's what she said... That was a super fun repair to watch. Probably not the same for you though haha

This talent amazes me

just imagine putting together a Commander X16 prototype kit... 😱😱

Good job sir 🙏

Nice work

You are a jewelry master!

wow . i must say amazing job man . "Better than Factory " should of been your KZread name .hahaha ,defiantly deserve the title .

That is the 2nd biggest heat sink I've ever seen - COoL p.s. The most difficult repair is one you've never done before. Hazards of the trade as we know. You would "kill" the next one, no doubt. Cheers!

well done good job

Congratulations on the occasion of increasing your following

In cases like this one am using dichlorethan to clean all flux and dirty spots or oil from the board. But you have to have good ventilation because if you breath vapors from this chemical few min maybe you will fall asleep forever.

you need a vacation after this repair

I wish i had a shop there. The prices are too good 🤣

what solderi9ng station do you use? i see you have switchable heads(as in like a quick release and switch) which is really neat considering a job might require up to 3 different types or are you using many different soldering stations each with different heads on them?

NICE!!!!!

When you desolder do you use hot air gun aswell with solder? Cos when you do you make it look so easy

maybe you already know, maybe not, there is a very good thermal dissipator with 4-5 times thermal conductivity higher then cooper, it is based in graphene and it is called Panasonic PGS. Something similar you can find in AliExprees for 5-6Euro an A4 format. For you as electronist is pure gold
