Rumour has it that you don't need the hot air gun on gale force 10.

I'm jealous of that capacitor. I'm a pilot and that capacitor had more flight time than me today. I love it!

How about reducing the airflow a bit when components start flying?

Was fun seeing airflow set to warp 9, even if Picard didn't approve.

I wont lie... I laughed my ass off to the flying capacitors and your video editing skill 😂😂😂 I know the struggle and I know how tiny those components are. Great work on fixing the thermal cam even without the help of a thermal cam ;) :)

I like the humor of using a hot air gun instead of a good ol soldering iron and desoldering braid.

Sad to think of all the good electronics that get thrown out every year from an equally small bit faulty. But as with all machinery...when they have issues the repair is often a simple matter but it's the FINDING of the issue that is the real bugger. Well done Steve!

Reminds me of an old IT legend I heard Big company has a fault in their giant mainframe computer. They call in an IT guy Guy walks in, looks around for a second, finds a component and puts a big chalk X mark on it The company then receives a bill from the IT guy. $40,000 "This is outrageous," the company says. "We demand that you itemize this bill." They receive an itemized bill: Piece of chalk: $1 Knowing where to draw the X: $39,999

problem with thoe "easy" repairs is, that you have to have the right parts lying around or you'll be waiting for them till they arrive. if you need the device NOW and can't wait days or even weeks, then that sucks. once you have those parts lying around, like Steve, it's always better to fix it yourself, if you have the talent. soldering irons are cheap, not sure about that heat-blower-thingy though

"from an equally small bit faulty" or just 'obsolete'

Difficulties leading up to 10:45... pro-tip: toothpick instead of tweezers. It's made out of wood, so it doesn't conduct, nor wick away heat. Much easier to hold a surface mount component with. Also: hot air for desoldering only on such light components. Just put a little blob of solder onto your soldering iron, hold the component down on the wicked pads with the toothpick and stick it down. Then come back with the flux to tidy it up.

I winced watching the use of hot air, I spent years repairing camcorders and my use of hot air was minimal, no need on discrete components, removing or replacement, C53 had too much solder on, doesn't need big blobs, solder should curve down I also used kapton tape to shield delicate parts not aluminium tape.

11:40 “I’m beginning to wish I’d just used the soldering iron.” Lol.

Might help turning down the whirlwind generator a tad 😆

From one Steve to another, it was actually nice to see a repair that wasn't going someone's way, with components doing a vanishing act! Keep up the good work, love the videos you make, short, sweet and to the point!

In the words of the good Captain... 'Merde!' Good fix. Always better when it's something yours and expensive!!

Watching those tiny components fly off the board to a soundtrack extremely similar to an instrumental version of 'Living In A Box's eponymous debut song was absolute comedy gold. 😁Thank you for your sacrifice and congratulations on another successful fix. 👍👌

That cap made a journey across japan; references to another british youtuber aside, I have to say that I really enjoy watching your videos, when I watch your videos time fly like a capacitor.

Out of all the fix it guys I follow, u are the best😊,u could make a video about replacing a standard plug worth watching🙂,this guy deserves subscriptions 👍👍

The jean luc picard meme usage cracked me and i almost choked to death.

It's very rare that a fix vid makes me belly laugh so thanks for that :)

This beautiful soldering session! 🤣🤣🤣 For this type of work I always use two Weller WS80 soldering stations with needle tips! There are also soldering pliers from Weller for SMD R or C, but I don't have one. 😔

Amazingly entertaining! Love watching your videos Steve. Keep up the great work!

Thank you, Steve, for making my Saturday evenings ever so better with your regular upload 💐

Awesome job

As always, great video. Thanks!

Well done Steve nice fix 😊

Great job !

It blow me away well done 😎👍🏼

Nicely done, Steve.

I half expected the issue to be the power button since you didn't check that at first... congrats on fixing it. PS - I never thought hot air soldering could be so hilarious.

Great Job 🎉

@@StezStixFix Pleasure buddy!

Louis Rossmann actually covered the flying capacitor thing in a video. It's not just the high airflow actually (although I'm pretty sure Steve ought to reduce it). What I noticed (if I see this right) is that Steve grabs the capacitor (and the voltage regulator by extension) at the very low end which means the metal sides don't make as well contact cause the tweezers are actually somewhat in the way. Louis recommended trying to grab the cap at a higher point so that when you place it the tweezers won't be in the way and the risk of the cap flying away would be much reduced. I don't know but it made a lot of sense when Louis explained it in his calming voice XD

Awesome fix.

Steve you put in lot of work in de videos I like

I should also compliment you on finding the fault and successfully repairing it. Good job, mate. 👍

And no blister! Good job mate!

really enjoy your content :) keep up with good work!

This is the funniest thing I've seen all week. Brilliant! 😁

Great video

I stayed for the song at the end. Loved it. 😁

This is exactly how I work too. Facepalms and all. I literally cried tears of recognition.

Great job - and entertaining as always 😊

The Picard gif made me laugh, I think it was the timing of the music too. Da duh da da da and the cap would go flying off.

That's a really interesting thing to know! After some time watching you I decided to get the same camera, now I know what to look for if one day it decide to not work anymore for me too! Thank you for the educative content :)

As always a great episode and lots of successful humorous scenes with Mr. Picard. We too would run away if we were heated with 400 degree air. Regards.

Sometimes I think a normal iron tip would be better Steve? But there again it is hard to guage because the magnifier does such a good job of, well, magnifying. Love the channel mate!

Ooooo another video in just a few days! Keep 'em coming mate! great content as per usual!

Way to go Steve! Love it.. 😀🇸🇪

Got a sudden urge to go biking in Japan watching this video. 😂

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!

Steve! If you're going to be doing more soldering in the same part of the board, why don't you cover newly soldered components - especially the minute ones - with a piece of tape once they're in place. And why don't you put the components you have removed, that you want to re-use, re-install or investigate, in one of the two lidded compartments on your blue work-board, then they would "ping" away or get blown away by your hot-air gun. I really enjoy your videos, your's and Vince's are my "go to" channels. Keep up the good work.

good job steve - thanks for a lols with the hot air gun it far too much wind

Great repair. I'd hold the air gun a bit more to the vertical and lower the air speed a fair bit.

Amazing Job that! Keep up the Great work! Top video.

These raps have been getting better and better these last few vids, they're genuinely becoming my favorite part of your videos. I wanna see where your flow goes next.

I like that we'll done , am here trying fix a sound system but might need your advice

I come for the fix and the humour in equal measure!

I was thinking at one point you were not going to get any of those Components back on 😂but you got there in the end well done 👏 😊

Given the price, I'm less than impressed with that camera - so glad that I bought the Infiray P2 Pro when I did.

That was the best “Get in there!”

Great rap and chill background music!

Had to chuckle everytime the capacitor blew away way too much wind lol but well done you got there in the end

It's so funny! I mean I have no idea about that soldering-stuff at all. I know it's difficult and I know you are good at it, but you present it with so much self-irony you just cannot help but laugh! Great job 👍!

That's why I use an Iron solder to do that haha Awesome video, Steve

Someone please take away Steve's hot air!

I had a good laugh with this one. Those parts flying off in all. I normally only use hot air for removal of components, and it’s a lot easier if you just hand solder the smd components. Great work, Steve. I thoroughly enjoy your content, keep it up man. Cheers! 🍻

There's no electronics repair shop anymore.. last time I saw it was 7-8 years ago.. love to see you repairing dead electronic bruv

I legitimately chuckled outloud every time a component went flying. I can imaging how frustrating that was, but it was funny to watch 😝

So many time you have seen the components flying away, and still you don't lower the air speed. I work with 10 - 15% airflow speed, and heats faster.. Still great job and a pleasure to watch

Really entertaining video. Had me in fits.

In this episode nasty tiny micro electronic components flying everywhere ! Excelent video

Absolutely no idea what happening here but “dang” it was entertaining 👌🏻

When I solder surface mount components, I put solder on one pad, solder the component in place, then solder the other leg(s). With chips, you can do a leg in one corner, then solder the leg in the opposite corner, then solder the rest of the legs. Much quicker, and you don't end up making Jean-Luc facepalm.

Love the abroad in Japan music!

I laughed so hard at the flying capacitor 😂

Nice

Hi Steve, may be a set of ceramic tweezers may help on situations like this. Thanks for the video!

You’re a very patient man 😂 I’d have flipped the table

You actually blew some components off my desk while I was watching this, get in!

Haha very good Steve and a nice fix. Oh.... days since a small component flies off - 0.

Great T-shirt. 👍🏽
