I am sure he has done it so many times it is like second nature to him.

I am a retired E.E. with 40 years in the semiconductor industry. Hats off to a shop that is so competent. Your skills are great, congrats!

The reason others attempt these repairs is because you make it look so easy. Only after thousands of hours of such repairs can you get the skills required to make it look so good and do it right!

The quality of your work is on another level. I never tire of watching you make everything look so easy when I know it isn't.

2:58 small piece gone 3:06 here i am! :)

Hey Alex, 2:52 this is where the tiny cap disapeared like to the 9th dimension 🤣👍🏼 Great work btw.

At min. 3:00 one cap was desoldered from the board. It got stuck on the solder wick (next move you discarded that piece of wick)

The amount of work you all do mind boggling. And how small of the detail of the work is that you guys do is something else.

As always the best is here! Well done Alex! Thx for sharing your knowledge! I am an electronic enthusiast, which has studied electronics and have a passion for the repairs! Thanks to your videos (and need to mention also other skilled ER shops on YT) i am learing so much! I hope one day to be in the business aswell :) your help is appreciated!

Im always surprised why some people try to repair themselves, without proper tools nor experience. And then they get surprised that a good repair is not cheap. So I once told a friend : you pay 5% for the repair, and 95% for the experience. Experience is priceless and very often underrated.

I love these little tours where we get to see the others hard at work too.

Great work Alex and BigBoss, the wisdom and little jokes in every video make this so fun to watch. Let me check on my dad.... lol

That's some nasty old flux when it takes a wire brush to remove! Oh, and people may tire of checking each pin, but I learned to do this from you and sure enough, A connector I replaced had one pin that didn't solder. Saved me from putting the device back together and then having to dismantle again! Thanks for your super videos!

"Saved me from putting the device back together and then having to dismantle again!" I learned my lesson the hard way... Since then I always check and double-check before putting any device back together.

You made that look so easy Alex, great fix.

Thanks for the update

The soldering alex does is top notch

10:45 A rather dusty fan.... :D I hope the cooling fins aint that dirty.....

I hope you chare extra for the prior repair attempts, since it makes your job a little harder. Great job Alex and Big Boss!!

The most amazing thing is your family can work together so well all the different generations. My family work against each other because they can’t see the end result you have.

Another "YES"...Tnx for video, Great Team 😊

Love watching your videos 👍🏻 great content

the best of all time thank you ALEX

Great fixes Alex! I would have asked Big Boss to clean the one fan for an extra $10! Thank you 🤓

I will never understand how people take such horrible care of their expensive electronics! Insert and remove cables GENTLY! If you're going to be plugging and unplugging repeatedly, use an adapter, so what is plugged into the machine/device isn't taking the abuse! A simple, short HDMI adapter/extension will save you so much headache!

great vid alex ..like when you involve big boss and big dad ...

That previous repair looks like i did it , and i can’t solder at all . Good job on repairing this disaster

Very nice and clean video.

Good job mate 👍

the quality of video with antiglare light is awesome even on low resolution

I laugh everytime when you say, "Big Boss is the Boss of all Bosses". Will always strike me funny I don't care how many times you say it. Y'all are kicking it out since Big Boss returned. Appears to be a GREAT team you three.

Great job. I think that PS5 fan needed a clean haha :)

Some clients don't want to pay anything extra. They just tell you what they need you to do and that's it. I learned to not do anything else but what the client is asking me to do, ESPECIALLY for those clients who know what needs to be done better than me and ESPECIALLY for those clients who don't want to pay extra for extra work.

The big boss has his work cut out for him having to disassemble and reassemble all that and still keep track of it takes a lot of focus and organization. Imagine having 10 or more different things all apart at the same time and still being able to get it all back together correctly?... then fighting for room for it all is really good.

2:59 capacitor entered the 9th dimension 😂

Hi Alex. I like your videos and the tools you use. Just wondering. Do you use any soldering fume extractor? If yes what kind? Thank you

Looks like Rosin Flux, I like the smell. Reminds me of my childhood. There's Flux remover in a can (CRC I think). I've used it for the past 30 years. Works better than IPA.

You are great team :)

He is a super boss and he have twice much health than ordinary bosses and you cannot even touch him!

Hey alex, I'm from Lebanon and i really like your videos. They're quite entertaining and informative. I have one question cuz I'm still new to soldering. Why do you use both soldering iron and hot air when using wick 2:54

Even more annoying is that they dont ever clean those boards when they working on them.

Big Boss came back!😎

I'm sure all these repair attempts fails are diehard fans of your channel. You make it look simple, but they don't know it takes yrs to perfect 💯😊

Good job Big Boss.

Some people have NO business attempting a repair like this. Wow !

Super arbeit. Weiter so.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Very good job

Yuck, what a mess. BTW, there is a somewhat easier way to solder that cap on the top side of the board near the connector. If you heat the two pads that it connects to, the heat will transfer down to the cap's pads. So I usually tin the pads, sit the cap on top, and then heat the two pads on the HDMI connector that it connects to with the soldering iron for a few seconds. The cap will just settle down on the pads with no risk at all of having it fly off into the 9th dimension.

2:56 cap said bye bye

I understand how people can get out of their depth a bit and rip a pad off or something, but I would be incredibly embarrassed to send out something that was just so mucky with burnt up flux like that.

Looks like someone before you used Coca Cola instead of flux.

Hey there, love your videos, do you guys fix PS2, PS3, PS4, Switch, etc consoles as well?

Why do so many HDMI ports fail on various boards, have to assume user error rather than design flaws.

@sequri

Жыл бұрын

They fail because they come into contact with ham-fisted gorillas who have no respect for the integrity of the hardware they own. Instead of carefully lining up connector with socket and easing it in they roughly “ram it home” without concern for potential consequences. These people are only concerned with the functionality of the device and have no pride in ownership of it, beyond that. If they were given a Rolls-Royce it would quickly look like a builder’s van; an Accuphase amplifier would likewise end up like some adolescent’s old boombox. A Rolex Cosmograph Daytona… …well, I think you get the idea. 🙄✌️

Just a thought, how bout a couple vids of a day in the life of Big Boss?

That looks like a thousand foot roll Solder Wick job.

Big boss is the boss of all bosses.

When you guys do these PS5 repairs. On reassembly you use Liquid Metal like Sony or standard thermal paste for the cooling solution?

did you clone the big boss? the other guy on the left looked the same. You are doing a very good job it is nice to see

is it beneficial puting the boards through an ultrasonic cleaner after inspection and after repair?

Ridiculous... but what really breaks my heart 💔 is that I haven't been able to get my hands on a PS5 since the day it was released (excluding the $3000 you can pay to a price gouger on EBay, of course!) and yet these people are no doubt abusing the hell out of theirs like they can just run down to Wal-Mart and pick up another for $40!!!

do more gpu videos please i searched your whole chennel and watched all gpu related videos want to see somemore

Last video: "I don't have 3 hands, only 2" This video: holds solder wick, soldering iron and hot air gun at the same time. (hmmm?? :)

Came in for repair.

That thing looks like barbeque

How about the second board? Did you fix that one too?

Awesome job Alex... Big Bosses .. Better than FACTory ☺️

what in the hell are people doing with those hdmi conectors?

moving the system too much is the issue... or the push it against a wall... breaking the hdmi

Why do you use a solder iron and hot air both when using solder wick? Is there iron not getting hot enough?

at 2:57 cap got stuck with the wick. 😄

I was doing this repair today and I nudged that black capacitor to the right of the hdmi diode and trying to put it back in place, I lost it. Where can I pull a replacement from?

Whatever they used as " flux " on that first repair attempt... That's not flux. Omg...

It´s your fault that the boards come in the shop like that, you make the repairs look to easy 🤦‍♂😂

From my experience I think in the previous repair attempt they used Chinese flux.... well flux... you can call it more Vaseline than flux. That makes the nice dark color and horrible smell

Hello sir , my pc shut down when your post came on I was 2 like and share also a very long comment thank you

How do you know the value of the missing diode and capasitor ?

Makes me wonder what people are doing to these consoles. Seems like when you buy one of these devices, you take it in, put it somewhere, connect it, and then it doesn't move for 5 years. Are people just forcing it in the wrong direction?

You should do a before and after for those Hiroshima boards.

if somebody orders in the evening then also you will ship on the same day?
