It's amazing how much of this equipment still survives the elements and people, even after years and years of usage and evolution. Old and new electronics that are very delicate in nature yet can take a degree of beating without breaking for good.

Never trolled before, here I go. The 99% alcohol was no longer 99% as soon as it was opened. As alcohol draws water from the air.

I'm an EE and I think you're technique is just fine. Good engineering is knowing what things work, how they work and how to efficiently apply that knowledge to get something done. Looks like you're applying good engineering practice. It's not dogma, otherwise we'd never progress.

The third hand comment just got you my like on this video. I laughed out loud. Also, I'm an electrical engineer and while some of the things you do make me cringe, you do them gracefully and I think that's why it's ok (for example, the wick stuff). Thanks for sharing your tips and expertise!

I'm glad you are honest and you tell like it is. You never sugar coat anything.

Thank you for all the free content you put up

I could literally watch you solder and listen to you talk all day long, Louis. Oh wait... I have... lol

You should try a JBC CD-B soldering station. Cheap, fast heating, reliable, with countless soldering tips that last. I personally don't like Hakko products (maybe the solder pot is decent enough).

I really like his videos. They are entertaining. This is kinda the dream job for me, cuz computer science is sometimes boring.

You are hella New Yorker but I like it. Hey I actually learned how to Solder watching your videos so thanks man. You do you bro, I know I enjoy your videos.

Never been more entertained by just watching a random soldering video. "See, you don't wanna push too hard.. You don't wanna rip the pins of the board because ripping the pins of the board is not very nice", I'm dying! hahaha

always make sure your comfortable don't strain your neck cramp your hands first get comfortable the adjust the part your working on around what is comfortable for you realest advice ever apply to anything

Love these useful shorter videos. Thanks Louis.

The size of the tip is important... you've heard it here

It's over twenty years she I did any electronics work. I'm fascinated by the liquid flux you use, and do yo have to clean it off when you have finished soldering ? P.S I live in the UK.

Nice, thanks! I am facing a real problem, and have been putting it off now for over 2 years. I purchased a very nice ICOM 2 meter mobile radio to use in my RV, it was advertised as working with "display problem." Well the problem is that the display is made op of tiny LED's each smaller then 1/2 grain of rice soldered into the shape of an 8 so as to display th frequencies. over 1/2 of them are bad. I have not dived much deeper into it, perhaps it is a connection issue, or the LED's have burned. In preparation, I found some very small green LED's that I intend to solder in place if they are the problem but my hands are not as steady as they were 55 years ago when I first began soldering, and I fear that I may do more damage to the area then repair. Your video has given me some ideas on how this may come together, if all goes well with my next medical exam tomorrow, I may well dive into her, if not it will make little difference to me as, well at 67 when the doctor orders an emergency MRI, you become a bit worried if you will see your 68th birthday.... Thanks KE0JBL

8:38 hahahahhaha you are the best :D

beautiful work as always

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

I always tin the connections prior to soldering in place. Seems to make life easier for me.

Mad Doctor Rossmann!

Where heat goes solder flows, that is so simple but it really changes my perspective

good night friend, you do an impeccable job, congratulations for the wisdom! I was also impressed with the quality of this solder tin, could inform the brand? thanks in advance!

not trolling but it looks like a short on the left most 2 pins. may just be the light on the flux though.

Hey Louis, a couple of years ago we invented some really cool things called meshes, you can put them infront of air inlets to prevent stuff from getting sucked in. A cheap $1 kitchen sieve would probably do.

Hey, Louis. Love your videos. I was just curious about your thoughts on flux core solder. I always see you using the syringe to apply and you bury stuff in flux. I haven't attempted anything like you do, but there must be some reason.

Love your videos ...quality guy 👌🏻👌🏻

Nothing is more predictable in this world than time passing by. Jet, we still seem to be amazed by it every time we see or think of something from the past.

I am suppose to study for a maths test tomorrow and complete an essay draft, I cant stop watching Louis tackle Apple's "Finely" engineered machines. HELP!!

nice work man

Very informative and you're a very funny teacher.

What about using an insect screen over the mouth of the fume extractor? Will it over work the fan and burn it out? Maybe a screen is available in size that would work for most chips, and cause no or very little (air) resistance? Just a thought.. Thanks for the content!

For soldering in one motion, as here it is necessary to have a sting of the Microwave type. series\Shape - BCM/CM

I don't know if you'll see this, but what temperature do you use your iron at?I'm just beginning microsoldering and while I normally use 350 C on my soldering iron, I'd like to know what you use, especially with microsoldering.

Hi Louis How can once get started in learning about electronics repair at a component level. is there a course i can take? or is it mostly just self taught like looking at videos and experimenting and trial and error

Im loving this very entertaining

Thanks

Newbie here; what temperature are you soldering at? What temperature are you (desoldering) wicking at? Are you using lead or lead-free solder? What size is the tip width?

If you tin the pads with solder first, the pins should solder to them a bit easier when you apply the soldering iron tip.

Dr. Rossmann is in. All in white, Mr clean is mean.

Yes I did.

god of soldering. Thanks a lot

What is your recommendation for a good soldering station?

hi can i ask if the hakko fm2024 desoldering is compatible on hakko fx951 i like to use my fx951 to control temp on fm 2024 desoldering

Is it okay to use alcohol lotion 93 degree for cleaning?

8:40 made me laugh 😂

I've noticed that watching you repair boards is addictive. Hey probably dumb question, what temp is your soldering station set to?

This is some next level comedy

Hi ,what flux do you use?

Hi, great videos, I am trying to fault find a r9 290x gpu, not detected in bios, all voltages correct for key parts, suspecting bios on gpu corrupt, unable to flash whilst on board, am going to remove bios and try to flash, do you have any pointers where else to check when motherboard does not detect gpu in bios, always adapter not present, motherboard is fine, works with other cards, thanks in advance

14:14 In Brittain, the fume extractor eats your crisps.

Louis did you try those alcohol dispensers that you dab the rag on?

Louis have you switched to the solder paste/hot air method yet? You could spare yourself a lot of drama!!

So how many soldering iron tips is really needed to replace a connector?

I love the beeping it’s like a heart rate monitor

What kind of flux you use for this kind of operation

Dude I don’t even microsolder but I just subbed cuz you made me lol a few times

Funny guy, i would recommend watching this.

Silly question (total noob here) but im struggling to get the tiny amount of Sauder I need without it burning up, what am I doing wrong? (note ive turned by iron down and then it just sticks to the iron)

i have question what to best desoldering station buy

sir my MacBook Air get shut down randomly after using using for 1day.then if I keep Mac air air shut down for 1 day then again I use it ,it will work properly for 1 day and again start getting shut down .sir plzz can you help me what may be the problem.

What do you think of, instead of the way you presented at: 8:45 That you put solder on a single pad first, then heat it as you lightly push the connector on Then repositioning and reflowing it to get it properly lined up? I don’t repair things and am only a hobbyist, but when I solder things with multiple pins, that’s what I do I’m just wondering if there’s a reason I shouldn’t do that

runforitman The reason he gave in the video. The small amount of flux included in the hollow solder goes away fast so you have to be quick to use your method. Besides the extra flux method in this video, there's Big Clive's techniques of holding the solder with 2 fingers and the component with 2 other fingers on the same hand.

I bought a RYOBI One+ Solder. I planned on using it to desolder the crap around the pins of the thumb sticks of a PS3 controller and sell the mechanisms on ebay. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be desoldering the crap. It gets upto the heat set and nothing is being desolder. What am I doing wrong?

I heard that!!

Does all the flux you use contain solder?

Resoldering the socket on that screen would be a good idea, fix it before it becomes terminal.

can you design a micro soldering program? where you can use your mouse to control the soldering unit?

What difference does a little extra solder make? From Nasa Apollo mission: "…the Saturn V contained so many electrical solder joints that if just 1/32" (about the thickness of your fingernail) of extra wire and one extra drop of solder were left on each electrical joint, the additional weight would amount to nearly 100,000 pounds-the total combined weight of the rocket's entire Apollo spacecraft payload!"

Question: You started off with what looked like a Hakko BCM type tip (the flat one with sort of a solder well in the end; many manufacturers call this type miniwave or something to that effect), wouldn't that have been much better for soldering the connector pins than the chisel tip? That's what I use and I get perfect connections without bridging in a single drag (and it also works great for removing bridges because the solder gets sucked right into the well).

Is that how much flux you're supposed to use? I didn't know it was such a messy job.

Remove the beep from hot air station?

Think I'll can this response for some of your excellent vids, hoping you might chance upon one -- since otherwise hundred's of thousands of other people will keep getting to hear the Hakko's lovely beep on every tip change each time we watch it.. :-P =) 1. Power off. And as usual, stupid card in. 2. Hold both Up & Down in, while powering on. 3. 80's-alarm-clock it over to option 5 (on left side), by using the usual '*' key. 4. Use Up or Down to change that to 0 (right side), for off. Option 5 is for the noise when changing tips, and option 6 is for tip-reaching-temp noise. 10,000% agree that whoever designed, and FAAAAR worse, whomever supposedly-in-their-right-mind *CHOSE* this design to go forward with - should absolutely 100% get fired. But until then - this is their god-awful interface they're forcing out for the time being.

12:47 - That's what she said.

That's what she said!

watched the whole ad for ya buddy :) edit - twice now

At 12:48, that's what she said!

Can't believe that Hakko constantly beeps like that every time you change the tip. That's insane. No way to disable that? 15:19 That's what she said also including the motion.

This is a little bigger than i am used to

i learnt that you do good connector repairs if you dress like a painter :-D

And it is not about trolling :D it's about detecting your areas of improvement

The best way to hold the socket on to the PCB would be to use an alligator clip.

It was worth watching until 7:35 for that explanation.
