Good to know.

Wow, just about to get back Into repairs after 10 years of been away, your practice boards idea blew my mind! Definitely going to buying some of those.

I've used both Hakko and Metcal soldering/desoldering equipment. I found the tips for the Metcal last considerably longer than the Hakko. The Metcal also has a larger selection of tips for both soldering and desoldering. For those who use the old wet sponge for cleaning tips, use DI or distilled water and not tap water. Depending on where you live, tap water can have a large amount of minerals and that will affect the cleanliness of the iron tips.

Thanks for all the info and your experience with the products ❗️ I’ve subscribed.. Been Soldering old school since 1970’s finally decided to repair laptop boards.. Cheers from Northern 🇨🇦 Luke

I use a leaf blower for a fume extractor while I jump up and down and microsolder on a wobbly table. Lots of rework for some reason.... :)

Best video ever showing tools

I use rubber o-ring around plunger stem to stop them coming out of the flux housing

Build your own fume extractor. I did it for $120 us with a used inline centrifugal fan. Cut to shape carbon pads cut to shape electrostatic prefilter and a large storage container.

Nice work, keep going.

I know this video is 5 yrs old now, but one suggestion on the issue with microscope platform being above your surface area, you could cut a sheet of plywood to cover the desk and then cut a square hole in plywood to set the stand into. You could then use on top of the plywood a heat resistant ESD mat. You would naturally cut out the square in the Mat too so. If you wanted to take microscope you can simply pull it out and off you go. I would also cut a piece of plywood to fit inside the square in the plywood that exactly fits so you can remove the scope and put in the plywood piece and put the mat on top and now you have an entire work surface. This way your entire work surface is at the same level. Much easier than using books to prop up extractor, etc..Only downside is your scope will be in one place all the time, if you wanted to move it to another location on the table, It then puts you in the same situation you are currently in in this video

thanks for the information and reply at this time i can tell you that it isn't going into headphone mode and the screen doesn't black out when you make a call, lately i gave it to one lab to check it and now i can not make any calls only if i am with headphone connected

Great video! TIPS FROM AN OLD RADIO GUY: 1) I wish someone would make a cheaper hose type fume extractor to compete with the "better" blue n yellow brand. The price is just RIDICULOUS, especially when you are committed to using their filters. 2) Have a straight work surface. A "Curved" table is a pain: It doesn't allow round bellies to get close to the work. 3) You need to get a GOOD work chair. You can recognise a BAD chair the first ten minutes that you sit on it. Find a GOOD chair, and quality on chairs doesn't have a lot of bearing (but some) on price point! Look until you have found a SUITABLE CHAIR. (Remember the old joke line from the movie "Used Cars"... "Son, for every Seat, there's an a$$...") Find one that suits yours. You need a GOOD CHAIR OVER EVERYTHING ELSE TO DO FINE WORK. DID I ENPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH? ;-) 4) You need EYE PROTECTION. Just like when you go to the High School Prom: USE PROTECTION EVERYTIME. 4) You should also WEAR A MASK. Without one, when you exhale, you will lose smd parts. And you won't find them. 5) Those SAME SMD parts are an INHALATION HAZARD, and if you don't think so, you are just kidding yourself. 6) adding flux to solder wick works well. Braid from old coax also works and is cheap. 7) REVERSE TWEEZERS from Joanne Fabrics work well. Never have seen antistatic ones, and always wondered why. And FINALLY 8.) For any electronics work: You need a meter that has a MICROAMPS SCALE. This is also a quality check in general for the kind of resolution and accuracy that you need... It's also the difference between doing "electronics" and "electrical" work. When it comes to measurements: You wouldn't weigh a letter with a Truck Scale, nor would you weigh a truck with a postal scale.

I just use a vivosun inline fan (they make them for grow tents but they work for anything) for around 69 dollars. You can get the hose for cheap from same company on Amazon and I use a portable air conditioner window kit to have the hose out my window. They aren’t expensive either. Just a piece of plastic with a hole in it for the ventilation hose. If you aren’t near a window they have other attachments as well like a big filter that’s also pretty cheap.

Hi Kenny. It would take some time to thoroughly answer your question so I will plan for making a video response in the future as there are probably more people out there who want to know the same thing. For the short version: The best way to learn is hands on. Work part time at a repair shop that is willing to teach you on the job, take a repair training course if practical, and at a minimum buy some broken devices and see how far you can go using online repair guides. The majority of this industry is screen repair so don't feel obligated to jump into micro soldering at the beginning. You should have made plenty of money by the time you take that step. When it comes to tools you'll need screwdrivers, pry tools, a heat gun, and lots of supplies. It will depend to an extent on what you plan to repair but we do have a few recommendations on our website here: gocellphonerepair.com/tools-and-supplies/ Any good repair tutorial should make what you will need for the job obvious. As time permits I'll work on a more detailed answer for you. Feel free to add any additional questions that you have so that I can address them at that time.

Go Cell Phone Repair Okay, thanks!! I know exactly what I me e d to do!! Love the vids like these!! Keep em going!

21:27 - I built a stand to hold my various flux and fluid syringes from a piece of scrap 2 x 4 block of wood. I cut it to 9” (L) x 2 (H) x 1.5 (W) and drilled 5 evenly spaced holes all the way through at a diameter of 3/4 inches each. Then on the top of each hole I dremmeled out roughly a 1/4 inch countersink in a shape resembling the syringe finger-holds so that as each syringe’s push stem recedes with use, each syringe still has a recess to hold it upright. IMPORTANT NOTE: My template dimensions were designed for 5 identical syringes that I bought and filled myself with flux, thermal pastes, lithium grease, and machine oil. Meaning, I knew the consistent dimensions of each syringe I required in advance of building the stand. Your mileage may vary based on the various sizes of syringed products you purchase. I’m going to 3D print my next version of this syringe holder.

Cheap Chinese multimeters like 20 bucks little ANENG or UNI-T are much faster with wider resolution 10000 and 6000 digits. If you measure resistance especially in milliohm range I don't recommend them, but the DC voltage is spot on. My current favorite multimeter for low voltage stuff is ANENG AN8008 with fine tip silicone probes.

I have a set of stencils that are different diameters for solder balls, but not in any pattern for a specific chip, something like these over sized squares if you select the one with the correct spacing would have worked on that odd chip you had.

Why did they ever make a shared ocular setup in the first place? According to AmScope that gives you the best photo quality but my biggest regret was buying that type in the first place. Such a waste of money as far as I'm concerned. Fortunately the heads are interchangeable so anytime something needs to be recorded it's not a big problem. Interesting idea regarding the stencils. I've "cheated" using something that's close enough but is makes sense that there would be something out there with enough variety in size and orientation to work with most ICs. I'll have to look into that.

I don't think you can atomize lead with a soldering iron. Unless your iron goes above 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Only thing you would breath in is the Flux really.

Good question and no offense taken. My English is far from perfect so while I may not be the best person to ask I'll do my best to offer an explanation here. The English language, especially American English, is a funny thing at times not only when it comes to pronunciation but also spelling. In short it comes down to dialect, word origin, and in some cases laziness. Where I live we don't pronounce the "L" in walk, half, salmon, or caulk. So these words sound_more like wok, haff, sammin, and cock. As you might imagine that last one makes for plenty of sophomoric humor especially if you happen to call a hardware store. Saying these words differently would _sound_ wrong to most here if that makes sense. It is in my opinion easier to say them this way so there is an argument for laziness being part of the reason. According to one theory: British people tend to say "sole-der" while Americans usually say "sod-der." This may be due to the fact that it comes from the 14th century English word sawd which derives from the old French term soldure which comes from the Latin solidare. It is possible that the British started to pronounce the "L" under the influence of the French but that Americans have retained the original pronunciation. There may be places in the UK where people still say sod-der depending on their dialect. In my experience the way that I pronounce it is based on how I learned the word and the way that virtually everyone I know uses it. Is it the _proper_ way to say it? I suspect that is subjective. Does it sound unusual to me when someone says "sole-der?" Yes. Is Spanish from Spain the exact same language spoken in Mexico? Definitely not. Language is a fascinating topic and while I am certainly not an expert on the subject I can say with confidence that it is considerably influenced by geography.
