    Experience is really everything. Imagine trying to fix this card for the first time - it would take hours if not days of trying to figure out what's wrong with it.

      I mean that's the time we're paying for when we send something for repair.
      People like Alex spent hours upon hours to figure out these common problems are, and because of that they're able to fix things so fast.

So fascinating to see how you know when the 5V is missing then lock at the step down converter and instantly know which pin is ground and even better that you know whats blown up if pin 2 Haß ground too! But mindblowing After all this is that you know that the 0 ohm resitor is often fucked up too!

    Good job as always... Its great to see that muscle memory in action... I am an automotive electronic specialist and I am very fast at identifying and repairing major faults with vehicle electrical systems. I usually get vehicles after many many techs have been involved and have added multiple problems to cars (no problem i can overcome other techs damages) ... Sometimes I get customers that they even though they are out of options ( as far as finding a competent tech) still manage to disagree and argue concerning my fees .. I love the work I do but sometimes I want to leave the trade because I'm not a very sociable person especially when you have people that do not appreciate that I saved the day ( alot of cars I repair are deemed no fix as you say) .. Do you have any suggestions on any signs I can have posted so they better understand to get my point across that I can fix because of my experience.... Thank you oh by the way my name is Alex as well..
