Circuit board repair is a lost art in today's disposable world. Truly mind-blowing how many complete boards are thrown out due to one component or a bad solder joint.

I have NEVER been more intrigued by a video then this. I was tuned in max attention. This gentleman is literally about to be overwhelmed with cpcs. I literally just sent this video to the owner of our shop. We need this repair like yesterday for a minimum of 8 trucks right now just at our 1 location

Lawrence needs to start his own KZread channel. He has a great narration voice. I think he would do pretty well.

I used to run a pete 388 50 ton wrecker, n14 and a 13 speed. The original owner had it dynoed, 738 and just short of 2k at the wheels. She was very reliable, ran dam near everyday.

Mr Tim that tore up bumper is going to keep me from falling asleep. can't even imagine how your feeling. OUCH. Roll easy and safe travels 🇺🇲 Peace

The W 900 is looking sweeter and sweeter everytime I see it. Good job Tim and crew it will look even better with a paint job and a name 😆😎😎. Thank you for the videos. You be safe out there.

So glad to see you posting content to help others! Seems to be a shortage of human decency in the world these days; you certainly don’t lack that!!

Amazing amazing video, Tim your going like that N14, I have always been a Cummins man, The ISX was not a bad engine the first 2 years and then when the pollution stuff started they were a headache.

Thank you so much for showing this wonderful video. A home computer is not bumped around like a Class 8 going down the road. Like he said the NONE lead solder get brittle, cracks. The US water systems put a END to Lead based solder, So you have a mix with the Lead base. What this Friend does in his business in my book A+. Such a little component, that causes so mean headache to Class 8 truckers. Very interesting and neat CNC chip removal system without damage to board. Your video is very informative

Really enjoyed that video. You really need some complex equipment to mess with modern-day electronics. It amazes me that that stuff even works when it's put back together.

Good job Tim and have fun with your new project have a good day Tim family

Good video. 👍 I talked to Lawrence a while back ago when he was still learning to use his new machine. I’m sure he’s done well since then. Nice to see you put out proof of his work. 🤘

Brilliant seeing this guy at work, I do similar jobs with mobile phones, all I would say is he did not seam to have much extraction going on, the fumes can be a bit much from solder and I know he has a big space so not to enclosed where my studio is smaller. But it's strange how the trucking world is now reliant on small chips like this. Great job 👍

It's a bad idea to use BGA chips in machinery. The environment is extremely hostile and they have issues in good environments. My hat is off to anyone working with BGA chips on a daily basis.

It ain't hard to keep your frame clean. Don't over grease your 5th wheel and drop your airbags when you go under a trailer. Then air them up when your under. Reduced the amount of grease scraped off by the trailer. When you drop your trailer. Leave bout an inch gap under the pads. Then dump your bags to let the trailer down gently.

I finished up with school a couple of weeks ago and one thing that we were taught is if the truck is equipped with air bags was to release the air to lower the 5th wheel plate while coupling. Back up just enough to get the kingpin into the slot before the jaws then add air to bags to raise then back up to couple. This will keep more grease between apron and surface of the 5th wheel. I guess it would work with a spring truck just need to lift and lower the trailer if applicable. Just one of the many things I learned in school. Great video!

Next level SMD repair there. Cost of a truck going down to a bad repair is too high, plus the long-term abuse & vibrations require an excellent repair. So I understand why all the expensive equipment is used here. Superb.
