You made the BQ replacement look so easy with your experience, the components around it are so close to the chip! Great job 😁
Whenever you fix something, I always see a smile on your face, it's great to watch someone who loves what he do!
Can't agree more. Such a happy face.
You gotta try it man I fixed and xbox controller had to replace the button rb the actual button itself it's amazing knowing you fixed it
I love the clean job you're consistently doing on every device! Wish you all the success of the world!!
Whatever soldering/flux technique you use, it leaves a beautifully soldered joint. They look super clean when you're done, top notch!
That soldering is the difference between a pro and a beginner. Very inspiring! Great job. Happy Thanksgiving
I love it when you get happy for fixing something
When you can do it, it's easy. I develop electronics and therefore I understand how difficult it is often to find a fault in a device. Good luck to you. Greetings from the Czech Republic in Europe
I don't have anything to repair and don't live anywhere close but have been binging these videos. Nothing more satisfying than watching someone who is great at what they do, do what they do best. It's satisfying to see how happy you get when you get it working. Keep up the great videos!
its like you always say alex. people should practice on broken devices before attempting to do their own repair. great job as always👍
Practice kits are a great way to start too. Fun and satisfying to put together your own device even if it's a basic one.
I'm old enough to remember putting together a few Healthkit, was great learning with them
This is a must its so satisfying when you fix a broken device!
That's the way you learn it. At home as a kid we always opened broken devices with my father. Even it was undoubtedly beyond repair. And we tried to repair broken devices. "It can not get any worse"
Agree. Alex makes it look so easy, anyone thinks they can do it! Purchased a few dead switch boards and the like just to practice. Don’t get to Alex’s level overnight. Need to practice!
you made it look so easy soldering those lcd connectors, just awesome, love watching all your videos
You make it look easy but it's under a microscope true professional and very interesting
It's definitely better than factory. A well deserved cake with that infectious and gentle laugh or smile.
Without even watching i can say nice job done 👍🏼
I like your focus on "looks just like it came out of the factory". That's something I think about whenever I work on someone else's device.
Really better than factory awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍
I love watching you soldering, just reminds me how bad I am at it.
Watching your vids, helps me unwind. I'm amazed at your skills and knowledge, which is never complete but we learn something new everyday! I've learned a lot watching your successes and non repairs.
So great to see you working on stuff! And the smile after something is working again!
You really enjoy what you do!
Alex, your awesome level of soldering and repair work is just mind blowing. Without doubt much, much better than factory standered soldering by a long shot. Love your video uploads so much.
Watching you fixing the switch is on one level, but seeing you eating that sweet and enjoying it is on another level, so bon appetit 🌹🌹🌹
You've been patient today with this device, nicely done
Alex, a good slogan for you is, "as long as it's perfect, it's close enough". That would sell a lot of T-shirts.
I follow you from Alicante, Spain. I don't miss a single one of your videos and I'm learning a lot. Thanks. Better than factory. Awesome
Very sincere guy ! I met .
Ohh, this prior repair attempt was definitely me. I slept on the BQ chip. DOH! Good job buddy.
Your pronunciation of 'solder' makes me smile.
Nice fix. Always nice when customers surprise us with food. We always go that extra mile for them. All customers should be like that.
I always appreciate it very much if a customer leaves some sweets. I like them more than a bottle of wine. Olive oil is also a good present!
Hey! My teacher! Your micro soldering is really better than factory! Nice
Shout out to Nile. I see your paying attention. Good luck with the cells. Great vid as usual
Alex is a master at this.
Awesome. Love to see you gave the devices you fix better than factory services.
Big love from Egypt❤❤❤❤❤
وفقك الله في عملك وبارك لك في رزقك🤍🤍🤍
Been watching you for a while. The community really does appreciate your sharing of the experience that took years to gather. I hope you the greatest success. I have a request. Do a video that uses your BEST pad to rebuild a PS4 HDMI pad traces. PS4 because it seems very common. Fantastic content, thank you.
This switch had almost everything replaced before omg.. I'd have buy a new one, if Northridgefix didnt exist,
Great job man!
In the movie Forbidden Kingdom with jackie chan and Jet Li , Jackie says - Kung Fu, Hard work over time to accomplish skill. A painter can have Kung Fu or the butcher who cuts meat every day with such skill his knife never touches the bone - I would add Alex can have Kung Fu the way he makes micro soldering look so easy. You are a Master at what you do Alex and a great person with a open mind, not many people would share thier knowledge Thank you so much.
Love your work. You’ve been a massive inspiration to me in my work. Great skills and great videos. Thank you
its hard to find good and genuine people. and you are hardworking too ☺️ you are a good man. I feel happy to see your videos amd also learn tips from you. 😊
man your skill and flow are so so good. Amazing, love the content.
You make it all look so easy, good stuff
That is the experience..
electronic device must also think that now take rest, but as soon as the supervisor Alex appears, he started working.😂😂😂😂😂
I love the flawless way you work, nicely done
Always be thankful for friends...
You are my GURU(teacher) when it comes to SMD ❤️
Wow!! I am never going to throw my stuffs !! i will directly send them to you and pay you in advance!! you are the best!! i want you to teach me how to repair too!! i am living in the west indies and it is difficult to find a master like you!!! will you have the time to make me become a master electronic Jedi like you?!!
When i come over from europe your shop will definitely be on my travel plans … love your channel
i would not recommend unleaded solder to beginners like myself, cant tell ya how many pads ive destroyed with wicking, im now using 60/40 Rosin leaded solder, works amazing im sure low melt would be more for removing hdmi/usb joints thanks alex for all the classes,l ive sat here watched over 100 videos and everyone one i feel as though im in class
My high school mechanics teacher said, "there are mechanics and there are part swappers. It looks like a parts swapper worked on that board. That trial and error approach just doesn't work out very well with with electronics. A detective approach is more suited for electronics repair and I can see that Alex uses that approach very well. He also has very high intuition which helps greatly to "just know" what the likely cause is and start there. Alex makes it look easy, but he has a lot of experience, knowledge and intuition to help him pin point the troubled area to investigate.
more than factory neatness and perfect job Alex😀
I know it's not easy but damn you make it look like piece of cake 😂 what a legend , Thanks for the vid
Very nice fix again, so many things which have been worked on and still you manage to fix it. just amazing
Sir, I will tell you that it IS better than factory... great job Alex
Great job solder work is 100% better than any factory
WOW Great job and a CLASS ACT!!!! Thank you!!!!
Better than factory. 👍👍👍👍👍. Love your vids bud.
You make soldering look so easy.
Maybe the problem was the BQ chip in the first place. Anyway you're a pro and always do your best. Great video as always Alex.
Very good video, you made a very good job. You saved another switch from the waste-bin. Thanks for doing such an amazing job and of course thank your little helpers. Good work. Greets from austria
“Better than factory” 👏🏽
your videos are like ASMR very relaxing. everything is perfect.
That board gave you a lot of work. Glad that you managed to fix it nevertheless
Thank you for an great video!
If I need anything repaired I will send it from Europe to you! Enjoy the dades 😊👍
بالصحة او الراحة تستاهل كل خير
Better than factory 💯 great job as always!
thanks for sharing... I cant tell you how much I enjoy your videos.
Nice repair. Want to try, but in this country, amazingly nobody have broken switch.
Watching these videos has gotten me interested in the repair business. At least as far as a future hobby goes.
I was wondering, what is that microscope thing called? What other tools would you recommend as essential for repairing electronics?
I got Nintendo switch ad when started watching this video 😁
Appreciate all you do and I learned a great deal from your techniques. Is there any reason why you started fast forwarding through the techniques? Asking because it helps to build my skills and explaining as you are repairing makes it easier to understand.
_Alex, when you apply low-melt solder, why do you wick the original solder in some scenarios, but not others?_ 🤔
I’m assuming from my own experience with this trade. Some boards, like larger consoles, have crazy thermals, and if you leave unleaded it takes a ton of heat exposure to soften it. Adding lead lowers the melting point some, but not as much as removing the old unleaded solder and using just lead. On small boards like a switch it doesn’t matter, but in a PlayStation you’ll damage chips etc with the heat needed to soften the solder. Also with the switch port, you’ve got to solder blind, so you ton the pads first, set the port in place and apply low temp hot air to reestablish the connection.
Wicking is always preferred to get rid of unleaded solder because it's harder to work with unleaded compared to leaded. In some scenarios where the board is only few layers, I keep unleaded because it doesn't take much heat to liquify solder. Low melt is only used to de-solder and not used for soldering.
when he uses low melt he always wicks the solder away, if he didn't, what you're seeing him use is leaded solder
Hi,, i'm from indonesia, amazing repair,, i like watching your video,, Better than Factoty !!!
Very nice soldering, especially on the display connector.
Try not to eat the whole box of sweets at once, I know they are good.
You are the grand master.
i wish i had that camera set up at work.
Another masterclass
Another job well done. Thank you once again.
Love watching your work, you make everything look so damn easy. I've noticed that it makes a big difference what kind of flux and solder is used. Cheap ones don't work as well it seems like when I am soldering.
What brands and kind of flux and solder do you use that are your favorite??

@@NorthridgeFix what's the difference between 223 and 559 Flux of this brand?

@@NorthridgeFix ahh, thank you so much my friend! I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos
Is the aluminum tape better than Kapton? Thanks for the work along! The LCD connector came off that quick? Try some Baklava!
Another excellent video! I love watching your work.. you are a true master of your craft! 👏
Sheesh.. This switch.. a very bad factory sample. It probably had more than two defects which were nicely eliminated by the pentuple approach of Alex!!!!! A thousand percent better than factory 🏭
good job mate.
this sweet its for my contury ((IRAN)) you are THE BEST OF THE BEST... thanks a lot
Cracking fault analysis as always. Take it easy on the sweet cakes.
Beautiful Hard work👍
Havent watch thru but upto showing the Main PCB, looks like it suffered the "5.0 3rd party Dock" Brick. (edit: fully watched thru, yea looks more than that. as it kinda looks like it's been updated way past that.)
يعطيك العافية
Satisfaying jobs from this man 😍🙆🏽♂️ i like how he save the devices
How in the hell does your solder stick to that solid black/oxidized iron tip?? I've got tips that have been used for 3-4 days that I can't get to hold solder to save my life!! Every tip I use takes a couple of days before they're unusable. I typically use the brass wool to clean tips after I use them, but I always have to use tip tinner and even then, only a small part of the tip will hold solder anymore. It doesn't matter the temperature, the shape, the manufacturer, etc., etc... they all do this. It's crazy!
Solid.. Solid.. Solid..
beautiful job, always love the videos
Thank u Alex sir......... Love u always.....
What temp do you use on the hot air to replace the plastic connectors
Dates sound amazing rn
better than factory baby!
Beginner question. How is he applying solder to the pads without crossing traces? Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃
What temp u use to sold that conector? thanks for sharing. Amazing job!
Great job like always!!! Enjoy your sweets !!
Thx for teachers us
Bonjour ! Beau travail comme d'habitude :)
