Clicked on your mail it in link but the page was unavailable. I have an elderly ps3 which my wife killed after a 8 hour session on a hot day a long time ago, the hard drive has a few short video clips on which are precious to us and was wondering if there's any chance of retrieval. I don't care about the ps3 itself but have kept it in hope.

I wouldn’t say you lost an hour and a half of your time. Like you said, you learnt a lesson and more importantly you kept your integrity and the trust of your customers instead of potentially losing a customer and damaging your brand. Great job.

This type of repair is incredibly difficult and only the best of technicians have the skills to do it. Props . Thanks for the video

It's a big man that admits his errors, it's a great man that steps up to fix those errors! Well played sir!

Great to see you putting your best foot forward and providing such great service and warranty for your work. This is what builds customer trust and keeps them coming back.

It already takes a lot of courage to post video of repairs for all to critique, let alone admitting error and correct it. You earned a sub!

Just a friendly advice. If you have time, watch Northridge Fix channel. Alex the fixer is doing those trace repairs amazingly. While I appreciate yours too, his method is much better. I personally think it is better to run those wires and prepare pads first and then solder the connector which will give a very much stronger, cleaner repair. He uses strip pads and the outcome is so satisfying and successful. I watch both you guys. Cheers.

No, Alex is a noob. He is just a self taught technician. With the basic of understanding of electric components. A proper technician takes the schematics and tries to understand how the board works. And proceeds to fix the issue by tracing back step by step.

Huge respect for posting this video ! We're all human and we all make mistakes, but being able to admit to them publicly is rarely done! 👍👍

I haven't watched the whole video yet (will watch the whole thing) but I admire the humbleness that he might have caused an issue, even after repair, and is willing to take a look at it again, instead of outright saying it was the consumer's fault. That's how you build trust. You've definitely earned my sub :).

This sort of professionalism and humility is why I sent my PS3 your way - you always approach these jobs with honesty and integrity, on top of having some serious repair skills as well!

props to you bud for admitting the issue and just getting back onto the repair. GGs

Jeez, it was only when the cotton bud came into shot I realised how small it was, you are very skilled my friend, you are honest and we ALL make mistakes but this is how we learn and progress

I admire your skills, you make it look so easy. Well done on the repair, it looks a lot better than the first time. If they manage to break it again it will definitely be their fault.

Just stumbled across your channel and I must say I am mighty impressed with your skills, I am just beginning to teach myself micro soldering and your videos will be a great help in my quest. 10/10 for broadcasting your small mishap, such an easy mistake to make (not curing the solder mask fully) but I’m sure you will ensure it is in future, you may have lost 1.5 hours of your time but valuable lesson learned. New viewer liked and subscribed 👍

I commend you for taking responsibility for your mistake

It's great when you show your honesty and it just builds more trust with the customer 👌 👏👏👏👏👏

Honesty is always the best way. Thanks for the recording.

Fascinating stuff, don't even know how I got here but it's like watching an electronic surgeon at work

I can tell you from working on power amps that have been dropped, I had to run a cable with the plug outside the case. Then you must strain relief the cable inside so it can't be pulled out. I would also use some type of structural adhesive to help hold down the connector if you are stuck with keeping it board on. Solder mask just won't cut it for a long term fix if it being used as a structural material, it just isn't made for that. You need to look at a flexible component adhesive to give those joints a chance.

Wow didn't see that coming.....but great job mate so enjoy your videos please keep them coming and here to help get your videos out to everyone to enjoy

I had the exact same thing happen to me recently on a partially torn flex cable that I repaired with wires/UV mask. Worked absolutely fine after the repair until any strain was put on it and the jumpers shorted together under the mask and killed the mini camera module on the other end of the flex. Luckily it was my own device and the camera is cheap rubbish anyway. But we live and learn! And we certainly all have off days, it’s only human. But every experience provides a valuable lesson that’s worth the time. Top man for sorting it 👍🏽

Most people would have fired that board in the donor board stack as soon as the they seen it but you tackled it. Yes some mistakes were made which happens sometimes but at least you got to rectify it now and console is kept out of the scrap bin. Well done Phil 👍

You deserve more for your sincerity, wish you the best in your business .

I thought you did a good job but it was a troubling fix the first time can’t imagine having too do that repair twice, glad you were able too fix, and took responsibility for it

I honestly think the rigidity of the wire is working against you here. Like you say, there will be a bit of flex now the pads have gone. Any movement of the pins, even just in the socket when plugging in, is going to put strain on the solder joint to the wire. If you check out my comment on the previous video, I think finer, more flexible wire, will be more forgiving to socket movement. The other thing I’ve done in these situations is build a big mound of UV resin behind the port too. If you can get it to adhere to the board and socket, you can make it so it can’t move at all. Not very pretty and harder for future repairs but makes this one more solid.

THE COD3R IS THE GOATMAN CAN FIX ANYTHING

Yeah thicker coats of solder mask requires longer time to cure. I usually poke it to see if it oozes liquid green, if so need more uv light. Also perhaps give the pull test after attaching each jumper wires on the pin side to make sure it's secured.

your integrity and the trust never loose it id pay extra for that all day long

Respect 💯 👍❤️ I’ve recently discovered your channel love your work man

Just a tip, no pun intended, but if you use an iron with a swap-able tip then use a nice big chisel tip, you will find it much easier to get heat into the board. Makes those GND tabs easier as the big GND layers just wick away all the heat otherwise

Another great video love the channel, great work

Good job on owning up, not many have the cojones to do so on video. Now here's a trick of the trade, to get the UV coating to cure well is to use a good UV light in conjunction with hot air. Try it next time, start curing it with the lamp, and with your other hand, set your hot air rework station to about 180 degrees c and blow hot air on it, it will cure in under 20 seconds! It will help with curing it and you won't have the soft sludge underneath the top hard layer if you use just the UV light.

Anything that's going to have the HDMI port plugged into and unplugged often, needs to have a short HDMI extension cable plugged in fist so you are only plugging into the extension cable and not the port, I do this with my PC as I use it through two monitors so the extension cable is permanently plugged in to prevent accidental damage to the graphic card HDMI port, plus an extension cable is a couple of quid as opposed to a splitter that didn't work for me anyway. Keep up the fascinating work you do man!
