It was my first ever repair on this scale, not the best for sure and I learned my lesson. Thanks alot though Northbridge Fix!

Don't give up, just keep practicing on faulty PCBs you don't need. I learned my lesson same way as you. I was trying to replace HDMI port on PS4 and it ended up with 5 ripped pads. After few months and lots of practice PS4 was working again, because I was able to fix it using jumper wires

That’s not bad at all. I’ve been microsoldering for years and I’ve seen way worse customer attempts. IMO the soldering for the charge port that he did was a little weak. I normally like to put solder balls onto the non visible pads and melt the port into place and then touch up the visible pads.

In fairness, you guys make repairs so interesting that it makes taking it up as a hobby much more appealing. And at least it is an honest customer not a professional repairman that messed it up

Dude, you're f*cking electronical neurosurgeon, you make it look so easy, and as service technician myself for last 14 years (mostly as end user support, basic hardware/software and it outsourcing), i can tell that a lot of people think that it'll be as easy as you present it, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait, there's a catch. That catch is called practice. A SHITTON of practice. My confidence ends somewhere in replacing microUSB ports, reflashing bioses on dead boards and replacing few bigger mosfets, there is no way i'll have balls to go deep in ipad6 or iphone 6 and up. I have microscope, have (i think solid) solid soldering station, have good light, have steady hand, but don't have that confidence. But, i'm trying to practice as much i can. (on laptops i buy referred as "dead" from ebay or so or on really, like really dead boards). I take it more as an hobby than actual focus of my work, but i like to not stand on same spot for a long time, and i love to LEARN more about shit i do. KUDOS m8, you're pretty inspirational man, love your vids, and love that you share your great knowledge. Thanks a lot for that.

you have the hands of a surgeon, keep up the good work.

I had a feeling it’s going to work ! Job well done Alex !

Awesome fixing and analyzing skills. You have my humble admiration.

Love how you do your videos, everything you say is so precise. And you always show us the working device at the end. I’m going to get into micro soldering repairs when I can get some equipment. Thanks for the inspiration.

loved the sped up piano music in the background. Super Dad.

I must always admire the skills and ease going on here and I quite often when working on watches have your video's on playlist and just enjoy listening and watching these amazing repairs :D

Hearing children is always nice! I'm enjoying your videos. Watching them i have a craving of replacing and soldering components..

As always, impeccable work, the finesse and patience you have is truly remarkable, icon in the making!

I really like ur smiling when u see a device is working….

Awesome video as always. What a great job to have, that your kids can visit you while you work.

Kids made a beautiful background music for your video, 🎶.

Mister u make me so impressed today. You work like a surgeon 👨‍⚕️. Really enjoy your videos all the time. Thanks for teaching us. Love from Sydney.

A very interesting video, seeing a real professional at work, with great skill and determination to repair the nigh impossible.

tiny cap : here we goo... Northbridge : where are you going. huh.. back to place

Man you work like magic... Great job.

another solid repair, thanks for keeping us entertained and educated

Hello from Greece. You are the best teacher. Thanks for the knowledge and for your videos. Also if you can please give the temperature and the speed air then use the hot air. Regards

Me asombra la facilidad con la que cambia cualquier componente, es un maestro sin duda. Saludos desde México.

Wholesome content bro, as a newcomer in repairing this was so helpful and inspiring to me. Greetings from Argentina

It is funny how easy this guy make the soldering process. The experience and consistent work is the reason.

such an inspiration for techies!

I don't want to say you make this all look easy, but you do make it look doable.

Nice, I love how knowledgeable you are

VERY NICE. Reliable supply chain is CRITICAL.

I had to laugh at the level of frustration from the first pause in the video before starting the repair. I've had some like this before and ask myself why am I even bothering, but when it works it's rewarding.

Wow! what an awesome repair! You could have repaired 3 Switches with the time used on this board. But what a great guy and a great result

I love your vids, that's why I'm here. I think it's weird though that you sell all the stuff to allow people to attempt these sorts of repairs themselves, yet chastise them for attempting it. Even you, a well experienced technician, knocked off a cap in the process. It would have been cool to hear you say some things they did right and some things they did wrong. Good video either way I just think it would have been more fun to hear a good natured critique since the chap is just learning and working on their own device.

Top man. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I wish you was over here in the uk brother. Love your work. 👊😉

The customer seems to have been honest with what happened. Which is super rare!

Great work Alex!

You are the man, fantastic job 👏

Outstanding work!

Another great repair keep up the good work / stay safe all the best

Amazing repairment.conguratilations.

Best repair! Just remarkable

I love your videos man! 😍Amazing!😃

Que maestro de la soldadura y todo.saludos desde Argentina.

Nice job Alex!

Always waiting yours videos like crazy thanks n god bless kids add fabulus background sound to videos lot of love to them

I worked for a company once who had a standard $15 upfront inspection fee on all jobs, if customer went ahead with repair it was deducted from bill total at the end. On some items if they were considered useful to us as donors and it was likely to be an uneconomical repair we would explain this to customers and offer waive the fee in return for the item.

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 Good intentions to do work gives successful results👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Keep it up🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Wow great repair 👍

Like always..... you are the best !!!! 👌👌👌👌🎊

gracia por todo el conocimiento ,no solo de sus tecnicas de microsoldadura, tambien nos enseña a manejar situaciones como esta con el cliente

That look of shock and disappointment when reading the client's note. LOL! Ps. Great work - great channel!

Well done!

Wondering how can someone dislike a 20 minutes long video that was uploaded just 20 seconds ago😂😂?

Did the screen also have a crack through it at the end, or a reflection? Good job on the repair as always

good job man, what temperature do you usually use in your air station ? the components were removed so easily

Indeed for microsoldering proper flux and solder is paramount. Do not cheap on them. Or face consequences in form of solder does not sticking to components or flowing over all area where it must not flow. Destroyed several connectors because of bad flux :( Fake chips nowadays indeed are problem too.

Amazing work as always wondering if keeping the switch docked for long periods of time is bad for it I have 2 I barely get to use one in bedroom for game night with wife and one in living room. After watching the charging port issues and no power I got scared kept em off the dock 24/7.

Thanks for sharing,

Gold video

Your videos are awesome. Can you tell me what flux, solder, heat temp, and speed u use? Ty 😊

bravo sir

Me: wow,what a great job soldering that USB chip. I wish I could solder as well as that customer. Alex: we'll have to replace that chip.

happy . you made my day. thx

loved it.

Hello from lebanon 🖐

Awesome work as always dude. At 12-45 of the video it looks like a missing component and ripped off pads in the top right hand corner of the screen.

Fluke 87V?? You are the dude.

thenks for informasion m92

I've got very good time with this video. One comment is not enough to quote everything I liked from it. But, I wish I could ask you two things, if you allow me. 1 - Is there any "trick" when soldering this micro capacitors? When I try to do like you, seems like my tweezer touch the board before the component itself, and it does not solder properly. 2 - Is there any temp recommended when you do soldering like those caps? I try to keep mine at 350-380 degrees but sometimes it took so much time to melt the solder. Maybe more air? I use 40-50% only because I'm afraid of those components fly to Narnia

Kids playing is always good music. When they are quiet....better check!

it is just awesome....

NorthRidgeFix do you have a video on the basic equipment we need to begin repairing electronics?

Every time When you say "we did a good job" Im answering yes we did 😂

🎹 🎶 made your video more interesting Thanks kids!

Great work! Just a question about fake chips...How do we can check them ? Can we test them in somehow manner ?

Awesome..

I know the guy who sent this board is going to be reading the comments, so I have but one question... WHY??? That board screams inexperience; either that or you're using the wrong tools for the job (which, to me, is still a sign of inexperience). As Alex says, don't practice on boards/devices you care about. Practice on dead boards. At least the missing components were noted in the email as well as all work that was done. Glad this one turned out to be a success.
