Apology accepted as I stated in the community post. I do not get bothered or offended by negative comments or opinions. As a content creator I learned the art of ignoring when something does not go my way. I block a user if a comment is too offensive or negativity is being spread constantly by the same user. What happened here was serious false accusations not only about fake flux, but other things that I won't go over now since you acknowledged what you did was wrong. Nobody likes false accusation and I had to take action to stop it. I admit I was a little rough on the edges and went off on louis and accused him of ignoring what was happening especially after mailing a syringe of flux over to him and not hearing back for 2 weeks. I did not realize he went over the flux in a repair stream and confirmed it's authenticity and cleared the confusion. I'll put everything behind like it never happened and start a new page moving forward.

Thanks Alex. As I said I did realise I made a huge mistake by not fact checking and maybe it was a bit of saltiness on my part but I don't hold grudges at all. Hopefully we can let bygons be bygons and move forward
Shit happens. You're always going to be a valuable member of the community to me. I tried the flux out on stream when I came back to NYC, to see that it is this exact same thing as what I am selling which I get direct from inventec as well, so everyone can see that it's the same flux that performs as well. just a different syringe. As I said on stream, it doesn't make sense for anybody who has a repair shop to do this because the amount of money you make selling repair services is far above the amount of additional money you would make selling fake flux. It's not worth risking one's reputation over. Best of luck with everything into the future

Well, if LR replies then you know you’ve made it. Glad common sense has prevailed over hot takes.
ive watched northridgefixes content many times he is probably the most professional tech ive seen very skilled and knowledgeable really good
I admire your honesty and humility.
Your a solid guy. A real man accepts his mistakes. Good on you. We all make mistakes it’s how we grow.
Yes, Alex has mentioned in several of his videos that the tubes he gets from Amtech are meant to be used with other equipment and thus don't have plungers on them, so he transfers the flux to generic syringes that have plungers for easier manual use. I've got an Amtech tube, and I had to take a plunger from another syringe in order to be able to use it.
It takes strength for a man to admit his errors. Thumbs up brother, much love.
In life, making mistakes is part and parcel of being alive and being human. Acknowledging our shortcomings and learning from those mistakes is what matters. In your content you candidly show when things go wrong and right. Making such a public apology you have continued in the same vein, all power to you, keep up the good work and keep the content coming.

So if i gone take orginal vodka pack it in unbranded chinese plastic bottle . I do not think its gone be original no more ... If you don.t like people calling it fake don.t pack it in fake of brand packs !!!
You apologized on camera. Shows that you're a Man, who made an Honest mistake. You have Integrity. Good for you Sir!
Alec does indeed repackages the Amtek flux into smaller syringes. All you can do is apologize and move on. Everyone makes mistakes and to admit you have done so and apologize is all you can do. That is life.
Not too aware of the situation, but well said pal. We learn and we move forward. Keep creating great content and doing you 😊 All three creators mentioned here make fantastic content and inspire a lot of people 👌

I do no know what he is talking about but what I know is that is easy to makes mistakes but difficult to acknowledge them and more difficult to apologize publicly. Even I at the beginning was mean to him in comment for the way he talks at the first video I saw from him, later on understood the problem was me and I support him now and he has helped me so much

True, plus they are just trouble makers.
Respect, It takes a good man to see his mistakes and apologize for his errors. Growth comes from our mistakes. Love and Respect
Great to see life is still the best teacher, hopefully a lot of readers will learn from this too. It takes guts to admit you are wrong and more to apologize, it's good to see a line in the sand and everyone moving on. Hopefully we the viewers will see you three guys focusing on what you do best. Good luck from Ireland.
Kudos to all parties involved. Takes a lot of guts to admit your mistakes. Looking forward to more videos.
I will have to say I missed this video when it came out, But I have to add that I am glad to see that everyone came together on this. All three of you are undoubtedly some of the best in the industry! You are doing a great service for the repair industry, and not one of you are taking away from the other! You all have great skills that are very different, and I am subbed to ALL of you for that very reason. Kudos to you all!!
Have a great Easter !
In this day and age, being able to say when you have got things wrong and said the wrong thing is proof that you are a genuine creator/business person . You are only human and if people didn’t make mistakes they wouldn’t put erasers on pencils, well done to come forward and try to put things right( to the best of your ability to be able to).
My respect for you has gone through the roof. Well done for admitting it, which most people wouldn’t do.
I’ve said this before but you three are some of my favorite channels. You all need to be best friends, form a tech Justice League, or something. Love you all.

Yeah I agree with you, to many people trying to bring repair guys down. You three defo need to stick together and deal with the trolls and not pounce on each other. I to am an avid follower of all three of you people.
Respect for both of you. I love both of you guys content! Keep it up. It happens... Let it go and continue to do amazing things!
Respect! You can be a bit of a hot head sometimes 😄 but owning up to your mistakes shows you have character.
I've seen Alex discuss the flux thing in several of his videos. Iirc he has stated that the tubes he gets don't come with tips for application. He repackages it in syringes and includes tips himself.
1 bit of solid advice in life, Mind your own buisness and purely focus on your own. I dont mean that as a dig but when you are in your situation creator/technition ect things can go south very fast.
Takes a real man to apologise for any wrong doing I appreciate your honesty 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
All my respect to you for being honest. Cheers.
i personally am very proud to see all parties involved accepting this apology and moving forward the three of you are my top hero's and I'm so glad to see it handled. Alex, Louis your are great men and Phil I've told you many times how much i enjoy your content and if you say something that makes sense I'm going to believe it because i believe all of us un this field are trying to learn and educate. Louis you are abrasive and honest and Alex you are truly better than factory thankyou all for being better men and leading by example!
Proud of you m8, you did good. lets turn the chapter on this and keep it moving.
My only problem is that i came to watch boards been repaired , were are they :)
Keep your chin up ❤️
Damn, I thought this was something serious, but we are talking about flux.
Don’t worry about it. No one’s perfect 👍🏻
Morale of the story is 'speak to the person in private before you accuse in public.'

Almost like its a publicity stunt
Said like a gentleman 👏👏👏
You’re not the first content creator to get caught out this way and most definitely not the last. As long as you learn from it and fair play they’ve both fine with it from what they’ve said in the comments. Massive respect to you for making this video, I’m sure it wasn’t easy.
Plot twist. The flux is really fake
Good for u Philip u admitted you was wrong and apologised for it keep up the good work ;) to err is human
Forgiven bro, now quit yammering and fix me some boards!!!! :-P
Don't beat your self up over it bud. your great at what you do and we all make mistakes in life
It takes a real man to admit when he is wrong and a bigger man to openly admit and apologise. You admit your mistakes and are also intelligent and humble enough to learn from them. Serious respect for that alone. We learn and move on. All the best going forward to all 3 of you and any other tec guys doing this.
By just apologising for your error you have shown integrity, and it speaks volumes. Hat off to you.
As a viewer of both yourself & Louis , I am sure that you are genuinely someone who made a mistake and you are now showing that you’re a good person by doing the right thing and owning your mistake . Look forward to seeing more of your repair videos in the future.
this apology is a major factor why i love ur channel. U are brilliant, genuine and humble enough to admit ur mistakes. Louis is also one similar to you in this regard as hischannel is also one of my favorites. We are all not perfect but it takes a great man to admit his mistakes and correct them and u sir, are a great person. 👍👍
>breathes in solder fumes >*surprised at headache*
If you watch Alex's vids you would know that the guy is totally genuine.
Thanks for being honest bro.
hi ..i am also a technician like you .ignore and forget,Move forward.This is life which gives lesson.Hope and should be better in next time,,,
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. Story of your life bro.
Good work. If any of us have not made a mistake, then we are not human. You have apologised and that is the honorable thing. It shows a good level of character to admit when you are wrong. All we can do as people is to try our best to teach others how to repair our and other devices. Lets all agree to be the best version of ourselves. Just move forward and keep on keeping on mate.
Good on yer!! You man up and admit your mistakes....regrets.
I respected you before. But to step up. Acknowledge, and actively and publicly apologise takes some balls. I am genuinely proud of you mate. Stay in your lane, do your thing. As you grow, the brown nosers grow, and people will tell you what you want to hear for the sake of 30 seconds of attention, this is a harsh lesson to learn but you absolutely have done the right thing. Plus, I'll never stop telling you you've been a muppet when you have.

well said Wayne. yes we all respect you even more. great work. ;)
Thing is your all great at what you do and as viewers the last thing we like to see is our favourite channels at war with each other. Great to see your honesty in this video and manning up when wrong its not easy to do. Keep up the fantastic work Phil Alex and Louis you have an army following and learning from your great expertise.
Repect for talking about it!
Fair comment Phil, takes some bottle to come out in public admitting making a mistake. It is done, you've done your bit. Alex has replied and as Louis being stand up guys has shrugged it off for you all to move on and carry on the amazing work you all do. Keep up the great work folks. 👍👍👍
You forgot to mention Big Boss, he is the man! But anyway now... the short is gone!
Keep your chin up lad. I've only just found this channel and you seem to be a sound guy.
Awesome that you took the time to see your mistake and took the steps to rectify this! Even more respect for you now Phil!
One of the greatest thing in life is when you wrong , you owned it , apologize, learn and move on, it’s life and we all make mistakes. thanks for all you do and this video is why we all still follow and continue supporting you.
Let's hope you learn from your mistakes maybe next time try and get valid proof before accusing someone of selling fake stuff just take it on the chin and learn from it
Keep your head up mate, we all make mistakes, its what you do afterwards that matters. Keep us the good work mate!
Nobody is perfect bro
It’s Never easy admitting when your wrong so much respect
Well done for apologising. Thankfully people can usally move on from such misunderstandings. Actually while I'm sure that Alex will be justifiably annoyed (it does not take much to annoy him!) the damage is perhaps not too bad, as regular vievers of Alex' s channel know that he has explained many times about them re-syringing the flux as Amtech do not supply needles. So most of the people who need to know that his flux is 'cosher' already know.
You did the right thing bro fair play to putting your hands up a lot of people wouldn’t have content creators need to stick together and build their community
Cod3r all of us who follow you look up to you and love your content and personality. Keep doing what u are doing!
It takes balls to admit when wrong. What will be will be. Take care and good luck.
I just think to myself, stay humble. Remember, your all helping the same community. Your clearly a big part if the repair community that does have influence. Be careful on how you use your influence. Also, part of being humble imo, is simply watching your video wording. An example would be the tronixfix vid. Saying he couldn’t fix it, can I? Seems slightly disrespectful. Instead stay positive. Say “ can I help figure it out”. I don’t say any of this to attack. I genuinely wish you the best, and I’ll personally still support you and the channel.
I will always support you Phil mate I love your channel and content and watch all your live streams
love what viewers are saying, am a big fan or your channel 😁and will continue watching you do your thing😊😊😊!!
Well done mate , it takes a lot of courage to step up and admit when you've been wrong , my respect for you has increased enormously as i'm sure many other peoples has too . Keep on doing what you're doing and look to the future .
Good man. 👍
I harbor no ill feelings towards you. Alex IS a good egg. He is sincere and certainly well-meaning with good intentions. I watch one of his videos almost daily and always give him a thumbs up. Thumbs up to you as well my friend! Apology accepted and don't keep beating yourself up.
You're a stand up guy bro !! Shit happens, we're human we make mistakes what's important is how we move on from said mistake. Love the vids !!!
I love listening to this dude he always helps me lean so much.
You rock Phil. Keep your head up and keep going.
Misinformation doesn’t help? Also, don’t worry about other streamers, fixers etc. just you do you and no drama ensues.
I think the 2 that you apologized to, accepting your apology in the comments, is enough said.
@TheCod3r this just made me respect so much more man to do this for a misunder standing speaks great about the person you really are and not scared to admit you went off the deep end but yet showe how much you care about your followers as i to no how lies and rumors can hurt one rep. i follow all 3 of you and i have to say i love your videos .
Respect mate! It's always better to talk about it than suppress these feelings.
I really like watching your videos and you seem to me like a nice guy too. But making such a serious allegation without checking the facts for yourself is difficult to understand. This can get a company into big trouble through no fault of their own. That was really a serious mistake. But I think you at least reacted correctly and learned from it.
Good on you for apologising Phil. Always risky to repeat what others say without doing your own research. Everyone makes mistakes.
Respect 👍 hold your hands up and apologise. We all make mistakes. But you do your best to make it right.
Got ya back bro love Yr videos, top man
You're a good man Phil. Takes a big man to admit when he's wrong.👍
Who does this Nowadays?, Going on your channel and making a public appology for a mistake you have made take real guts. Well done to you for that. Being able to openly admit you have made a mistake or error in Judgement tells me you will go along way. I hope you continue to share that Journey with us all..
Everyone makes mistakes buddy..... Acknowledging the fact that something was incorrect shows the kind of genuine and honest bloke you are. Making a public apology isn't easy and not many do... again it's a testament to the kind of person you really are. Put it down to experience and move on...life is too short buddy 👍
alex has always stated on his streams about the flux he repacks it, .. good on you dude for say sorry when and where its due, it shows you have balls, and are decent human, we all make mistakes in life its how we handle them that really matters the most .. Alex is solid much like you and louis
Alex was always upfront on that amtex flux.. he takes the original and puts it into a syringe.. for convenience for the customer...
We have all fell into that trap, at least you owned the error, now you can move on and continue with the great content we always see from you. You have gave me an interest in electronic repairs, not sure I could as I'm thick as two short planks but anyway, oh and big up the Black Country accent, I hail from West Brom... Keep up the good work 👍
hello my idol i from vn nice too meet you
As long as you learn something from this then you can alway more forward, in a positive light.
It happens to the best of us, especially when you had prior disagreements it makes anyone more jumpy I suppose, cheers!!.
Good on you for owning your mistakes. You did the right thing owning it and apologizing. Put it behind you and move onward and upward. I've made plenty of mistakes in my life and I would hate anyone to pull out a microscope on my life. You're a good dude, don't let this stop the content you are creating. Cheers.
i follow most of these popular repair channels....and most of them are cranky and frustrated dudes, almost all of the time during streams (swearing, cussing and general shit talking about the world, business, politics, customers etc). i dont know whether its the over inhalation of solder and flux fumes that cause this... but jeees, all of you need to get your shit together. TheCod3r, i enjoy your streams more than the rest because you seem to have your head in a good place... and i learn alot from the repairs you do, without having to deal with verbal diarrhea all the time (like the other guys). you do you, and keep going at it 👍
Don't worry too much about it pal , it takes a man to admit and apologise about things.
Well done you for having the balls to publicly apologise everybody makes mistakes put it behind you and carry on and keep up the good work
It takes a big man to admit when he's fucked up. Owning up to it, apologizing, and assuring people that it won't happen again is all you can do. You fix things that are broken and you've done what you can to make things right.
You’re only human we all make mistakes and holding your hands up and apologising publicly takes brass balls. If anyone has threatened legal action against you over something so petty then they are clearly shallow. They should accept your humble apology and maybe track down the real trolls. Keep up the good work.
You're a good bloke, I'm still subscribed!
