Your jokes are one the great things about the channel. You seem to always make me laugh. I I thank you greatly for that.
You have a very dry sense of humor.
I imagine, to non-native English speakers, it can come across as serious.
Not only are you teaching them about your work, but languages as well!
Total package.
I would just solder an USB cable to traces and relocate the port to an external USB port. That is what I did to my dash cam and 3D printer USB ports. Though this device costs way more and stakes re higher.
Same.
So great to see you smiling when the thing worked. That's a man happy with his work, right there.
Old company marketing technique until they find an amazing skill technician like you and big Boss 👍
The smile on that face when the device worked 🥰 it made me happy too
Oh wow...I work for a massive car dealership company and they have 5 Audi service centers...maybe I should send this video to them tomorrow 😅
Greetings. Thanks for sharing always. Your attention to details is amazing. It is always a pleasure watching you doing your repair work. Blessings.
This guy is more precise than a doctor
I often drill holes through the PCB. Wrap a wire around the USB connector. Works great.
Very risky if you have a multi layered pcb.
@@pabloascencio7397 Yeah that is obvious. But often the ground plane has viers through It already.
I had done many connector repairs before ..you can secure the area between the two legs with a peace of wick..that's not risky and holds the connector into the board like a rock.
I think a couple small screws would be ideal
you're always doing great in your repairs I like your skills and techniques .I've learned a lot from you. I am also a technician here in the Philippines. may God bless you more and more!
Great repair, definitely worth its price. The cheapest VAS6154 (original part, refurbished) I can currently find here in Germany for example costs 1199€ ($1277), but the seller only ships to Germany or the EU.
You could use a parcel forwarding service in a EU country. I had to do it for a seller that refused to ship to US, even offering extra for shipping. The parcel service charges a free, but they accept the parcel and then they ship it anywhere you want.
Great work. I really appreciate watching your videos; you are an inspiration to us all! When I repair these type of connections and the pad to secure the connector to the board are ripped off, I usually either clean up adjacent to the mount or drill a small hole on each side of the USB (if there isn't anything on the other side), and run a strap of 18AWG solid wire across the the top of connector. The connector is held down pretty tightly with either soldering on either side or by twisting it on the other side (and soldering to keep it from getting loose).
NorthrideFix and Crew is bosssss! Thank you for all you share. Don't stop. I appreciate your vids and thank you VERY MUCH this goes to you guys entire crew even if its just two!
You have the hands of a surgeon! So steady!
This is an amazing micro soldering pen, its now my primary soldering device, i rarely use my expensive metcal ironer station.
es hermoso ver en un profesional la cara de felicidad en cada video, me refiero que cada cosa que arregla aunque lo haga mil veces su cara de felicidad como si fuese la primera vez que lo repara, excelente
Nothing better than morning coffee and NorthridgeFix video
Seeing that repair attempt and you said 'I can tell because of the flux' - there's a near 45 degree resister on the right side that's a huge giveaway hahaha
loved this repair!
Alex..you certainly deserve blessing after blessing for being an inspiration to the industry and a mentor to your junior colleagues who are still learning and soaking-up what you have to teach. Excellent work is always poetry to watch and I love that you set high standards. Your devotion to quality work is inspirational. Thank You.
You are a great sensei. Always working to become as the sensei is. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Amazing craftsmanship!
i'm amaze with your skill and precision sir. hopefully 1 day i can be like you
Thank you for the gift of knowledge.
Another excellent repair video. Thank you
BROTHER i luv your work , and luv the jokes😂. I watch these video cuz then i useto do microsoildering , and other sh$$. it calms me down, and its relaxing watching you work. thank you - keep up the great work.
Awesome job alax👍👍👊
nice videos.
Great repair. I learn much from your videos.
very sincere and professional person.
as always, awesome video, great repair
Great work brother!!
Perfection as always
🤣 Alex I'm not gonna lie, until just now I swore on most items you charged a $100 per missing pad lol. You did sound super serious and you said the item that needed the pads restored was like thousands of dollars new so I figured you weren't joking.
Same bro
I'm impressed with your work. I am glad that it was successful. But of course, nothing is ever your fault.
Very nice job as usual,you always brighten my day 👍 21:59
Another method to secure the metal USB frame to the PCB is to drill a hole on both sides of the frame. Solder the wires to the frame and the bottom ground plane. This is the first time I have heard of using RapidFuse.
Beautiful job
It's just like watching an artist at work.
Albert from Ireland
Another day, another lesson learned. 👍
Hey Alex you jokes are amazing 🤩. Tnx for video, great work like every time...🍻
amazing skill & patients
Awesome work! Well the thick headed ones that can't tell a joke from realty., they haven't been your watching channel too long!
Amazing vid and work
Amazing job!!!!!
Great repair I like your style
Bravo bravo bravo! E grazie! Thank you! 😁
Work of art
Very nice job
Alex I use clear resin from 3d printer and a UV Black light Flash light to cure in seconds like yours. The Resin is better than super glue and hardens like rock to keep those SMD USB connectors to the board perfectly and you don't have to wait for glue to setup and cure., Keep sharing the tips as keep sharing my tips also
You do incredible work. Ive referred a handful of customers to you, not sure if they sent anything or not!
Great job sir
You have surgical hands there buddy! Job well done!
Hello Mr Alex. Love your channel. Great skills and knowledge. SMT parts are difficult to work with and identify.
I also troubleshoot and repa
My apologies for the gap. Looking for a SMT component. Can you help? (RF13)
Awesome Precision work.
fine work👏
very good job Bro
Nice job.
good job 👍
i feel happy looking you fixing every single things that come to your shop even it is no fix but still learning something thanks Mr Alex from malaysia
it just i dont have the opportunity to do it because of my surrounding customer im sure they love to complain u repair small thing and expensive so im just watching ur video everytime you upload but im sure i can do it if i have the equipment just not at the right place i guess
Haha sama tuan saya pun… sbb saya beginner dalam menceburi dunia teknision ni apa lgi soldering…
@@Riozaki2827 dengan adanya perkakas y baik anda boleh buat apa2 tapi harga dia tinggi tapi masyarakat malaysia ni suka ambil kesempatan dalam kesempitan sedih juga masa ialah duit macam mr alex cakap nampak senang sebab da biasa buat cuba y baru belajar benda senang pun berjam baru dapat siap ni masalah malaysia kita tidak paham mahalnya pengalaman untuk percepatkan pembaik pulih alat elektronik
@@muhammadakmalwong7123 betul tuan saya sangat setuju… saya faham sbb saya sebagai beginner mmng trasa sangat payahnya tu macam mana, 1 device sahaja berjam2 baru selesai… terkadang sampai hmpir sehari. setuju sekali lagi saya katakan tuan, mmng nampak simple dan senang, tpi kalau xde pengalaman mmng susah, kena terjun baru tahu betapa strugglenya, sbb tu org fikir “alah, senang saja buat tu, bgilah harga murah utk servis”… sbb diorang x buat lgi… itu baru dri segi skill… belum lagi cara diagnos kerosakan… hmmm
@@Riozaki2827 diagnos diorang pikir cincai mata kasar pun susah nak nampak ni lagi pakai microscope fuh kadang ayat2 customer ni mencabar kesabaran juga wakakaka
I love the deadpan humor.
nice job
Great video as always yes I click like before I even watch but that because I already know I'm going to like this video Thank you
Always nice to see a good repair. Good Job
Haha I love your humor Alex, dont change
And how many viewer’s laundry have you ruined telling them they can wash and dry their soldered laiden wicks??
Blame it on me, no problem.... 😂. Nice repair job... Keep up the good work....
good job
Great repair and great jokes! I suspect part of the reason some people take your jokes seriously is because you tell them so well - completely deadpan - you tell them as if your sound serious, which is the best way to tell them. I have to admit I am often taken in by your jokes, so that proves to me how great you are at telling jokes! I am learning that when you make outrageous statements like this, that they are probably jokes.
Bro I love your videos and jokes 😂
Once I have my shop, “It’s Happening” I am going to have your channel playing on the big screen, up front.
Love it m8
I charged once for polishing. And by "polishing" I mean tough cleaning a notebook, what looked and smelled like it came from a dumpster. Option B for the customer was that I refused to work on it in such a state. Other notebooks were cleaned from outside after repair, free of charge as a bonus. (if there was time for it).
Your shop front sign, it should say "Northridge Fix - Better than factory"
A piece of solder braid run along the edge of the board and soldered to the rear anchor pads would give you something to solder the front anchors to.
Yo usaría las misma pistas rotas que están en el conector pero antes de ello una muy buena limpieza acomodar las pistas rotas soldarlas de nuevo levantarlas un poco y proceder a pasarle o curar con resina uv o de secado ultravioleta luego raspar si hubo algo de exceso y dejar las partes de soldadura limpias volver a pasa la pintura uv y soldar el conector agregar algún alambre que atraviese por completo el conector y la tarjeta para evitar futuras roturas de conector 😁😁😁🤜🤛 buen trabajo 😊
thumbs up right away before watching it.
This is one of your best repairs yet I think. Basically electronic surgery. Very impressive.
Such a poor design from Audi, and so crowded in that area making repairs difficult.
This looks to be a clone tool unless Actia group (manufacturer of genuine 6154VAS tool) have dropped QC (unlikely that was delivered to to VW group, or accepted, looks to be a clone and a shotty one at that, maybe not, but many techs gety dupped into chasing tails with clone tools, so i figure i throw possibility in there.
@@stringerbell7299 For me it looks like a Würth electronic pcb (the pcb has a destinct look I only saw on them) so probably the design and qa team overlooked that issue. Maybe one with a genuine tool can say if they definetly have that design issue
Wow good work. That is a moneything, everyone creates his own device or connector and sell it very expensive to make money of it. When it breaks, they just say you have to buy a new one. They all don't repair anything but just want your money. Of course it would be easier to build a long lasting connection on the pcb with throughholes or so, but if it last forever they can't make much more money on such devices.
Thank you for that video. Greets
As an idea - Remount the unit inside a small pele style box once repaired. External the usb out to a usb socket. That way it can be scarified if it gets dropped or yanked.
Small recommendation from a newbie in this field that would like to start this one day, maybe try to create package in your store with basic equipments, another one with advanced equipments, a full kit, etc…
Great tip: Great tip 😆
How he would know we were saying to test him right now 😁cause we can't wait
"Why can't they make it last forever?"
As a German I can tell you: They can! But they don't want to anymore ;) Selling means earning!
Nice
100 a pad sounds like crazy money to me hehe Never thought you were serious when you said it and the internet seems to be full of people who lack a sense of humour lol I finished a rebuild myself yesterday, a National Semiconductor LCD watch from the very early eighties, I had to remake several corrosion eaten traces on the tiny circuit board and used a mix of conductive paint and conductive epoxy, the finest dagger brush, a lot of sweating, swearing and redos but today its working like new. Watch isn't worth much but I quite liked it and wanted to see if I could save it or not.
People are to serious , i like jokes alot 😂😂😂😂
Lmao. Your wit and humor are well received here!!! Don't let morons drag you down!!
I was LOL about your comments about joking😅
they should put the dongle in an secure container with cable attached so they would never mess with that connector, and protect it from "hard" use
New drinking game: take a shot every time the NorthridgeFix shop is mentioned in the video. 😂
Greetings, you explain everything very well, people in foreign countries listen to you a lot, it would be better if you add language translation, thank you
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
I saw the $100 per pad video, I thought it was a joke. 😂 And it was a lot of work to fix all those pads
The hands of a surgeon…
I've inboxed your page about a repair on mine
hi alex, like always awesome video ! do you do something special to keep the tip to hold solder like this after few months ?
Always flux and tin the tip before putting away your soldering iron when you are finished using it .
Alex why not drill tiny holes through the board to secure the connector? Put tiny screws then solder the connector to the screws.
Viewers not understanding a joke. Well, humour is a sign of intelligence. Understanding humour even more so. That's why one has to be careful with making jokes. People who don't understand, will almost certainly feel offended. You can't change other peoples feelings. So it's good you actually tell people you're making a joke, even if people who understand the joke find having to explain a joke is the worst (but that too is a feeling).
very fine workmanship, I just wouldn't have the patience. In the end, I think I would destroy everything ...))
A lot of the jokes are probably missed by those for whom English is not their main language. Maybe you should flash up a "Joke" caption to avoid misunderstanding 😀
Yep, better than factory! 🍻
