ESD strap and make sure tools used are ESD safe tools

Great video as always :) Items I would add to your list would be a PSU tester and thumb drives with utilities that are used the most, conveniently in one place.

Nice collection of tools. Nice video. A few things I didn't see in the video are as follow - Disposable one-time use gloves ( Nitrile ) are the type I like. I have come to like using a Head-Light flashlight along with Led equipped electric screwdrivers from a kit like the IFix it you showed but with a greater number of bits and extra tools in the kit. The { Toaster } I have also has an IDE slot in addition to the 2 x sata slots. My toaster also has built in multi-format card reader on the front panel and a usb 3.0 port on the back. The IDE slot hsa a connector for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives.

Thankx for sharing. Great video. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands

Nice full set of tools/parts. I only work on PC's once in a while and have found parts from old PC's have helped a lot. I blow out desktops the same way. A leaf blower is to powerful IMHO. I have a set of individual rubber handle small tip screwdrivers like your Stanley which is probably used any time I'm working on a PC or laptop. I've re-magnetized them a few times. I don't have all those removable tips like the Ifixit set. I have separate tips for my power drill that I use out in the trade work but prefer individual tools (screwdrivers, nut drivers, etc.) when possible, I even have a soldering de- soldering air tool like the one I saw you use for a laptop port a couple years ago. I think it's been used once for an old style ohm meter (Simpson) that used to require the batteries to be soldered. The soldering gun wouldn't do it. I think it was the solder being the wrong kind that caused all the trouble. High temp solder.

Software tools are a must have when working on any computer. Most of the problems I encounter are software related. Virus, BSOD, ID base 10 errors you get the idea. Very good video on the hardware side of thing though.

The paid version of Acronis True Image is what I use. Thanks for commenting.

Safety goggles, anti-static surfaces, masks and/or hand sanitizer if you're going to be doing a lot of soldering. Flash drives/LiveCDs of low-end Linux distros, rescue discs etc. Also have a work order system and a printer, so you have records and documentation of the shizz you've worked on and how much the charge was. You never know.

Is a power supply and a system board faulty at the same time when it comes to a desktop PC? I tend to replace both. Many times, I tested a good psu but once it was connected to a faulty system board, the psu also got damaged.

It can happen.

Using a shop vac can create static electricity that can damage components on a computer. Learned that a while back. Worked fine before the cleaning with a shop vac.

Apparently Metrovac makes a lot of electric air blowers and vacuums with a lineup specifically dedicated to being ESD-proof for computers and delicate electronics. I was really tempted to get one of their smaller ones as I intend to put my expertise up for sale here soon and that would be great to use for cleaning.

Tip before something happens: Be carefull with the fan bearings while blowing the dust. You could damage them.

@normaneckhardt9673

9 ай бұрын

Have the machine running. The bearings are moving at that point. And less likely to have dust settle on them. Just a thought.

I dont blame you for thr moves on the boards, the same rule applies to power supplies

where is the stuff to repair motherboards

I use memory stick testers, motherboard testers, and power supply testers. Once I learned how they work, I eliminated all my computer test benches. It saved a lot of space and time. Time and space are relevant. *Dad Joke alert* Also I use MediCat, password reset tools on USB, and a 32gb flash drive with a RUFUS Windows 11 install on it. Also, I like to keep in mind that the electric motors on fans also function as generators; so I always keep them from turning when cleaning. I do have a standup PC (like an arcade game) and customers use it for electronic work order generation. They save to a shared drive where I can access them. This way I don't waste space with a file cabinet. A 500GB hard drive can store enough electronic documentation that if printed out would fill several tall file cabinets. I pretty much fix anything computer related (consoles, cell phones) so I can make a decent living without resorting to making Tech Tips videos for profit.😉
