I think the biggest benefit of a higher end cleaner is the frequency sweep. Different materials will have different "sweet spots" so to speak so not every area of the board would be optimally cleaned at the same frequency. I wind up moving the PCBs around a lot and can feel in my hand when the cleaner gets a bite on the PCB. Sweeping frequency would be moving that resonant point around I think. Certainly a better way to go! I just wasn't rich enough when I bought this cleaner to afford a better one.... but it's STILL working! Just an afterthought :)
Excellent! Big fan here! Cheers from Uruguay
I've used a Crest P1800D at an old job and I got a cheap Chinese ultrasonic cleaner at home. I can't really notice to much of a difference. The Crest does a better job the first time through but I don't mind cleaning something twice to save $3,600.
Hello mr jason, really works on that stage of dirt, make another vídeo with a board in full oxidation, cheers, nice vídeo, keep up
For a while I was using a dollar store degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Surprisingly would work pretty well
Heya Jason i have a similar ultrasonic and i love the results i get also great video mate
Fantastic job
It's made that pcb look fresh and new again, amazing tool :-D
I hope it keeps going, it may be cheap but it's so effective.
Just like the KSGER soldering station, doesn't have to be expensive to get the job done, as long as you know what to expect from it and how to properly use it :)
Jason ... great videos ... why only clean half the board ?
hi thank you for your professional videos .. i just wan't ask you. here in morocco we cannot find Branson Ec cleaner .. we can use an other solution.? similar with branson Ec ..
Thanks for the video
By reading Branson EC's Safety data sheet, i found out it is made of +90% Monoethanolamine that costs like 10 bucks a liter. so far its been working really good
Nice! I am still using the same exact machine. The only difference now is I don't change the solution as often.
If I have a board thats soaked in liquid.. could be urine or soap residue.. I don't know the degree of exposure, I assume its necessary to remove ALL shields prior to the cleaning cycle, right? This is probably a dumb question but I'm kinda going to school with Jason. I have a ton of boards here that's not worth sending out for repairs, but I'm gonna try and get them fixed myself.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I was clueless on how to clean flux from circuit boards that I assemble and was searching for answers. I saw your video and had some reservations but I went out & bought a 3 liter ultrasonic machine from Amazon and a gallon of Branson EC. With the 3% formula, it worked flawlessly! I actually found that 3 minutes was plenty of time.
My question to you... when is a good time to replace the solution?
Thanks you! Back when I made this video, I change my solution after every few boards I think. If I thought it was the slightest bit dirty, I would change it. Now, I wait until it's just about completely brown before changing it while it's still working just fine with the dirty solution. I'm going to start changing again more often though because I think my Branson EC may go bad or expire before I use it all!
sir may i know what len do u use with you microscope camera? my camera just can't parallel with the microscope. thank u
6:38 It looks like one of the chip resistors between the two big capacitors in the middle fell off. That probably happened before the cleaning.
Have the same cleaner here, or similar enough anyhow (assuming they all come from relatively the same factory in China). The cleaning fluid is _definitely_ a big key ingredient in the effectiveness, along with the temperature.
Paul Daniels what cleaner fluid is that Paul? Purchased from ?
For us Aussies, there's this stuff Wayne,

What’s the capacity of the sonic cleaner tub there? Thanks!
You sold me on the Branson EC cleaner except that there wasn't a link to it in your description. Uhhgg. Should do that maybe with an affiliate referral to it. :)
Can you send me a link from amazon for the adapter to assemble the camera on to the microscope, i see you have a link for the camera but it does not look like it has an adapter with it. Thank you
Branson EC clearner solution not available in the UK.!!!?
What’s spray and water in orange box ?
Can we by the way have a link to you 60$ ultrasonic cleaner? :-)
Hey Jason! I hope you are doing good mate! I think you should go for another UC soon. Degas and sweep functions make a big difference especially in cleaning corrosion under BGAs. Just saying.. See ya around 😊
At 6:36 i see a capacitor out of place near that black squared chip . I believe is the tristar ? Or touch ic
There is one that falls off at 3.07 as well, and again at 3.23 . Never mind , probably not needed anyway , LOL
keep the chin up!
Thank you, Jazbala, my friend, but I could not get it to Saudi Arabia. Can I ship a nap to me?
sir, im hearing impaired, i want to know what alcohol to use to clean up the thermal paste spill on motherboard? so is it 99% Isopropyl alcohol to clean up and let it dry complete before build up the pc?
ATHEPISTA CO use Ethyl Alcohol for cleaning PCBs.
Hashirama Senju - why use Ethyl alcohol (extremely expensive, esp nowadays..) over Isopropyl?
Good 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hello, Have you ever used this product to remove the tape/waterproofing material coating the boards?
I've cleaned a lot of boards that have had some sort of rain-bow colored waterproofing stuff sprayed or dipped on and it doesn't touch it. I think it should remove tape residue though. I'm all the time surprised by what this stuff will clean.. (I'm not being paid to say it either. lol)
@@ststele Thanks!
Can't get Branson EC in Dubai any alternative
Ayman Ahmed - Golden Dragon Hy am dubai too I follow you in Instagram
Nice to meet you
The ones I know people use for phone board cleaning as additives and that are marketed as the exact same type of product like Branson EC are the following. Try and see if you can buy them:
BANDELIN chem. TICKOPUR TR 14 - see bandelin.com/produkte/praeparate-fuer-die-ultraschallreinigung-und-desinfektion/tickopur/?lang=en
Chemtronics ES132 - see www.chemtronics.com/content/msds/0132tds.pdf
heya oh wouw that is a big differance right there
can i use isopropylic alcohol instead? need to clean a GPU board (got a ultrasonic cleaner)
99% ... DO NOT USE the cheap 70%!!
@@rhuephus
99% is cheaper than 70%.
Any alternative that can be bought in Europe?
We got that one and are very happy with the function and built quality: www.ebay.de/itm/ULTRASCHALL-GERAT-REINIGER-ULTRASCHALL-REINIGUNGSGERAT-10L-Digital-DEGAS-SMART-/261605250682?hash=item3ce8e3567a:g:zZ0AAOSwMgdXz7Ko
The Brand is Sonixtek and they offer the same type in different sizes.
If you can go with a smaller one check out ulsonix.de/ they have sweeping freq. and all the nice stuff and appear to be of very good quality while offering great prices
I almost got myself an old Japanese ultrasonic cleaner from a friend only to discover that he tore down the power supply before I got to it...
Problem was that what you offer to buy is on amazon and amazon dont have worldwide shipping , Suggest you to turn on ebay. It will be good if you get an ebay seller with amazon stuff , so others that cant order from amazon will order only from that self and be counterfeit free.
You need a soldering mat.
That's it. I use the cheapest ultrasonic cleaner (not even for PCBs) with Branson EC and it does the job perfectly. So far I don't understand why should I buy something like Crest CP500D for more than $800 if you can get away with the cheapass one and spend saved money on other tools.
6:16 - On the top left, one of those small capacitors are sitting wrong. Right?
That bottle of Branson EC probably cost more than the ultrasonic cleaner.
Still using this cleaner today! I never expected it to last this long but it still works exactly the same.
Hey Jason, did you ever run into killing the gyroscope sensor on an iPhone board by washing it in the ultrasonic? Anyone else common with that, is this even a thing? Or anyone can speak up and dispel such an assumption?
I'm pretty sure that happened lately to me and the effect can be seen in the compass app for example - spinning compass like crazy. Even worse is due to the parallax effect of the homescreen, the background and notify bubbles wiggle around all the time. Pretty nasty - gonna try to replace the Bosch IC on the affected iphone 6+ board. My assumption is that it happened due to way to little liquid in the cleaner - it wasn't even half filled - hence i guess to much US energy to the board. Had it in there for 2 - 4 minutes in total.
First time commenting on your stuff so let me say a couple of things.
Huge thanks to you Jason! Man, you're by far my most favorite board repair video guy on youtube! First because of the "pro" type approach you have without trying to surround your craft by phony alchemy bullshit! You're the least bullshit guy around here I guess. You're trying to share as much of your experience as possible, instead of trying to appear overly important smart-assy. Love you for that!
And second, man I love your personality and your approach on life. It's a delight hear you talking on stuff, whatever it is related to. Your positivity wins big time! Can't praise you for that enough. You are the kind of guy I would love to meet and know you in person and have as a friend.
I learned a lot from your vids and gathered a couple of times crucial motivation to move on with the whole board repair topic. Definitely gonna send you some goodie some day!
Big props to you and greetings from southern Germany.
Hi, I have the same problems with gyro sensor and compass too, tried to repair iphone boards for the first time - and got 10 perfectly working boards with dead compass and gyrosensor. Used the same cheap ultrasonic cleaner as Jason, and filled it less than a half... Ordered gyro ics form china and waiting for them now. Compass ICs are much more expensive so will try replacing only gyrosensor for now.
And I will definitely like to hear if Jason had the same problems and what can be my mistake.
ps. Thank you, Jason, you make a great content, it hepls me a lot.
pps. Greatings from the tiny country in east europe called Moldova =)))
Hm, hey Nick, only just now saw your response. Well I replaced the gyro successfully on those boards. Took them from donors and reballed. No Issues with that. BUT
Meanwhile im using a bigger, more sophisticated ultrasonic that has a soft mode and is used completely filled but again killed a gyro on a LG G3 board. And it actually also killed microphones on android boards since they are onboard.
So thats kinda frustrating. Will try to tape the mic openings with capton tape in the future but am not sure bout the gyro. Now trying to not submerge the gyro if possible.
To me this seems to be a quite serious problem field and im even more surprised nobody is talking bout it.
The one I use is a pretty exact copy of this www.amazon.com/Tdou-Stainless-GT-1990QTS-ULTRASONIC-Including/dp/B01J7IPK1O/ except that it has a different name written on it and costs like 270€ in germany. Nice device, no sweeping freq but a soft function that apparently makes the device use half the amount of pulses per time. Didn't test yet if keeping boards in there with soft function is safe for the gyro.
Device I use is this www.ebay.de/itm/ULTRASCHALL-GERAT-REINIGER-ULTRASCHALL-REINIGUNGSGERAT-10L-Digital-DEGAS-SMART-/261605250682
Alcohol 90 + toothbrush that makes the work
Not the same
Not gonna get UNDER those chips with any kind of brush !!
