When you say you have a diagnostic fee to eliminate "garbage" that video card is what is being referred to.

Every time I'm talking to anyone with an interest in electronics or soldering I ask them if they have seen this guys work. It's amazing. Everyone who checks it out agrees. Please keep up the great work. You are an excellent instructor and this video was an excellent example.

Alex, Thanks for your dedication to your work and uploading regularly. It is truly a joy to see your passion and joy when you have a successful fix. Congrats on you and your family for growing such a successful business. Advertise your products all you want...IT'S YOUR CHANNEL!!!! Your videos are filled with knowledge and humor and have given me the confidence to expand my electronics hobby into the smd world. BTW, please let me know if you ever find the 9th dimension. I'm missing a few chips 😂

Awesome work Alex, Big Boss... I wish I join your shop and do repair like your work daily basis which is my motivation.. Awesome video... Better than Factory

Please make a video explaining the diagnostic procedure. Oms , volts, Mosfets etc... how , how do you know which one is which, and how to figure out how to test. Please 🙏

l think you get this kind of experience after countless hours of practicing, readings and fails, I love this man Alex he is a legend

Nice fix! Indeed having so much experience is very helpful in finding issues and fixing them fast.

Oh my God i cant get enough of your videos... The way u thought me how i can get precision when resolderìng a chip i will never forget...its a major experience i appreciate so much in you thank you so much

Thank you for your educational style Alex. It helps me to learn what you are doing and why. The finished products are always a 'work-of-art' as well as a 'work-of-science'. You put the 'Art' and the 'Craftsmanship' back into science. It's great to witness.

Big Boss may be a man of few words, but he is an ineluctable giant when it comes to reassembling laptops and restoring them to life after your masterful and memorable repairs! Bravo!

I love how you try to make your video educational. I learnt to wick properly from your video, by applying leaded solder to make the wicking easier.

Absolutely enjoyed the video. Thank you for producing the video.

Another great video, which includes it all... great technical skills on display and some education chucked in. Really top notch! That anti glare light is really blimmin good.

I always enjoy watching you work bro, greetings from Chile.

So awesome. I am getting into computer PCB repair starting from a knowledge base of almost nothing electrically. Your videos are making all of this puzzle work make sense!

@@ksenchy That, in essence, is the problem with modern high-end devices. They have hardware that draws heat under load. Apple was smart to disband their relationship with Intel and focus on making their Macbooks more efficient. Intel's hybrid cores could be more performant, yet people wouldn't care. Arm is forcing the industry to wake up and innovate (somewhat). Like Intel making it possible to put the E-cores on standby when gaming.

The information, that when one USB-C controller chip gets bad on a PC laptop with two USB-C (therefore - two such chips), you have to replace both chips - that's really important one - thanks!

Dear Alex, I watch your videos from time to time, since I miss you and your personality. Good job!

Awesome work Alex and Big Boss!

Wow! I admire the experience and expertise,well done

Love Watching you work learn a lot from your videos , Fixed my ICharger DUO by myself It wasn't easy got a shorted MODFET brand new used voltage injection and IR camera as you do to find bad MOSFET, Tested and Works Like New $390.00 charger fixed for $60 dollars THANKS keep videos coming !!!

I loved what you mentioned from 1:45 onwards I had a similar case where a customer came to me saying that a device’s USB port wasn’t working & visually I already saw the connector was damaged & the pins were making contact. I replaced the connector but the device still couldn’t be detected by the PC. I suspected that the shorted pins may have damaged one of the 2 PCBs in there. I replaced the motherboard(which was a separate board from the connector) & it worked! The PC could detect device. I told the customer that we had to not just change the connector but the motherboard as well but he didn’t believe me. I didn’t have equipment to test exactly which component was faulty in that PCB so I just summarized that we couldn’t detect the fault as the components were micro-sized. But I did make it layman for him saying that the motherboard was faulty in general and changing to a new one resolved the issue. After exchanging emails for about 10 times, he decided not to go for the repair and paid up the diagnostic fee. It was a long arguement. hahah

awesome job Alex

Drops are detrimental to bga chips... One cracked ball and she's goobered. Always fun to watch you work.

That graphics cardboard in my opinion was worse than what you would call a hiroshima on a board. Keep up the good work. I love your videos.

Where do you buy those BGA Chips from? - Couldn't find them on NF site.

What temperatures do you usually set for the hot plate, hot air, and iron?

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Just curious, how often do you have to get a new soldering mat? Mine get goobery and sticky and I don't do a ton of soldering, I imagine yours get slimy fast.

wow I wonder what happened to that video card you showed us half way through your video? Fire?

*Precision*

I thought you was gonna clean the low melt solder from the legs. Nonetheless, great video

at which temperature you are applying hot air to the BGA USB controller chips?

👍👍

I'm going to bet that that video card was lacking proper cooling. A malady that seems to affect most cards like that. Today was my shut down my 6 year old DELL XPS 9560 for its yearly cleaning and thermal paste change out. The fans were quite "fuzzy" and there was a lot of hair all around. Disconnected the battery first and then removed the two fans. Removed the heat sink and then alcohol/Q-tip removed the old thermal paste. A good vacuuming of the rest of the mother board, back vents and under the battery and all was good. I use a very small spray bottle filled with 99% iso so that I can spray the fan blades without getting it on the motors. After a lot of Q-tipping it was clean.................. Dashed on the TP and sealed the heat sink. Attached the clean fans and then plugged in the battery (Still using the same battery but it has dropped in time use from 6 hours to 2 but it is not showing any signs of "pregnancy". This is my main stock day trading computer so it's on 24/7 but plugged in. If I'm out for the day on a stock trade day, that's when I rely on the battery. I'm looking at new Dell XPS versions of the one I still have as a back up. 8 years ago I was a Lenovo fan but they started building them too cheap. Screens would go black for no reason or it would get really hot. I kept it always on an "air flow mat" so as not to block the holes but it didn't help much. Also too many Bios alerts for weird stuff.

We did it 😊

Very nice work. Also, don't throw stones at birds

Questions: Did you necessarily have to use "Donor Board" USB-C Connectors as replacement connectors because they needed to be MB make and model specific connectors? OR: Could new (generic) USB-C Connectors have been used on any MB's replacement connectors?

At about 5:28 you discuss something that sounds to me like "aluminum powder," or aluminum solder. I can't quite make out what it is you're referring to. You inform us that it's very helpful for this kind of fix. Also, KZread is not putting up any closed captions that could help me.

I find it hard to believe that the two USB ports were damaged from a "FALL". They are well up inside the cabinet frame. To me it looks like "drunk" USB upside down forced plugging. I can just hear the loud cursing going on when that poor computer was being "raped" by the user with inverted USB's and possibly even an errant HDMI cable. Now, after reconstruction surgery by the "surgeon" Mr. Alex, it will go back into that hellish relationship and suffer even more. A serious home welfare check needs to placed on that owner and his interacting with his computer. Maybe have the computer removed and put in a good foster home. Great Show!!!
