Alex has one hell of a business model. First he supplies the necessary tools to amateurs, who then mess it up, and have to pay Alex to fix their mistakes. 😁
only thing, alex does more work in the end
lol. give him the props for tutoring at least
I was just about to say that too. lol
Lol I just said the same exact thing lol🤣
selling the tools of the trade is only common sense when one is showcasing skills. Alex sells his skills but will let you try it first.... I imagine some succeed.
You make it look so easy, so everyone thinks they can do it them self...
Yup. Definitely need to practice on something broken or disposable/inexpensive to get the feel for things.
Yeah fr
yeah, content creators that makes complicated things look easy should be sued for misleading content
I think the You tube tutorials it si a great Tool for tech. Specialized. Not for amateurs. That is what happens when You try to do what people have a Lot of years doing it.
@@euuki4430 this idea is st*p*d… why blame the content creators if the mistake was done by the viewer??? 🤦🏻♂️
i like how reasonable this guy is, it is enjoyable to listen to him
I think people watch your video and say easy I can handle it just like Alex did. And when they mess things they send it to you. With your experience and tools, it looks like an easy job on the screen.
Absolutely Right! in video it's look easy, But when we do these things, we realize how difficult it is.😅
@Michaels Carport I had same problem, I was using low quality solder wire. After buying good solder wire+good flux and wicks, thing started to go very smoothly. It's also importat to add some low melt solder wire to the area first. Then Wicking becomes one of the most satisfaying job ever:D. There is Solder wire with 350c melting point and probably they are used in motherboards. Because they are more resistant to heat. That's why adding Low melt solder helps alot. Alex does it always.
this is a good business move. show it on youtube and repairs it like easy (which is not), they do it and f it up. send it to Northridge for a professional fix and cha ching 😃
@Michaels Carport No problem, When I saw your comment, I was thinking it's me six months ago😄. I'm using Stannol leaded solder wire with Weller Flux and wick.
I'd argue if you actually watch a lot of his repairs and properly listen to what he says, you can do it correctly after messing up a couple of times. I personally practiced on a couple of Raspberry Pi's until I got it right.
I'm watching this channel since 2018. As far as i can say is Alex is a good and humble person..
A true master craftsman at work
A lot of videos make this type of work look easy, not very many people talk about how much practice it takes to do it properly.
i dont understand how people screw up the repair this bad wen your videos show them exactly how to do the repair and wat it should look like. i used your videos and so far 19 PS5's later none of them have had issues.
2 years of watching and learning so i can fix my xbox from 2019 🤣
the battle has not yet ended but i got far enough and the power buton works🤗
after i came back from the hospital i ended the battle confirming my defeat after electricity went through my body.
all and all the chanel is awesome and i salute you✊ keep it up
Its becuase ppl watch your vids an you make it look easy but what they forget is that experts always make stuff look easy cus of years of experience
Jeeeez there are LEVELS to this business . you got surgeon hands mate
I mean...
1) people watch your videos
2) when something breaks they are motivated to try and fix it themselves
3) they start it
4) they realise they dont have the necessary equipement to do it
5) they send it to you
6) the cycle repeats 🤣🤣
Keep up the good work
8:50 🤣 You did it again, you made my day.
Now we can just download the UV light to make everyone blind! Noice. 2nd best thing after downloading more RAM! 😂
It seems like a blessing and curse having CZcams University available to everyone. As you said, it used to be 1 or 2 out of 10 with customer attempted repairs. Now you are seeing 8 out of 10. This has to be form the modern age of information available to everyone. While it's an amazing service you and others provide, it must be a bit frustrating to see the half arsed works.
“The brain is a very nice tool, if you know how to use it”. I’m here for all the great comments. My favorite channel!
Alex, you should consider adding a clause to the service agreement saying there will be a fee for any device previously repaired by someone else. It might save you some hassle.
you mean messed up by someone else? ;)
They already have a no fix charge. There is no downside to taking the product in and giving it a go, customer pays, may as well give them a chance.
That's also a double edged sword, because he could also lose Business that way too.
Job rate for repair $100/hr
If you watch $120/hr
If you help$150/hr
If you tried to fix it first $200/hr
( make this as a sign on your office door)
Really have great respect for the patience and expert skills displayed here. Restoring what appears to be non-fixable, especially after less skilled repairmen have made a total mess of it, is truly amazing!
I thought it looked too totally beyond repair at the beginning of the video. But this man is exceptionally clever. Great work.
I have been fixing computers for 10 years and I finally gave in to a customer and did a PS5 hdmi. I was successful but will never do another one. People are failing because it is a super difficult repair. It was a huge PIA to get the original connector off and super difficult to get the tiny pins all connected. Not to mention the filter capacitor. I am lucky i didn't have to mess with broken traces or the diode and cap on the back.
my friend thank you so much the mercedes key worked ,,im the gentlemen who drove from san bernardino the other day
i knew u were the one for the job ,great service and super friendly ,thank you
I enjoy how blunt you are with the commentary. You basically go “Hello, today we will be fixing some shit that someone else screwed up and won’t admit to so now I have to do it.”
The UV light joke will never get old. Thank you for having such a great sense of humor.
Alex, the UV joke never gets old 🙂 - I was hoping that Linus picked up on your reaction video to his attempt to fix that connector, but sadly no ! - Keep up the good work, and making these videos. Makes a change form Asus laptops 🙂
Linus has his head up his own ass, not easy to see anything from that position...
Oh Linus saw it but is too proud to admit it.
I put sun block, don't want UV rays burning my retinas. Also turn on the fume extractor, don't want Alex's mother calling me asking why am I putting myself in danger.
Alex is losing a sales opportunity. Think of the UV glasses and fume extractors etc. you could sell to those viewers.
@@danw3735 that's exactly what i thought.. Againnnnnn
I've learnt a lot from these videos,the main one is "if I don't know what I'm doing, I don't do it".
I worked at a TV repair shop for 10 years..We used to get calls asking "Do you repair TV's?" Gave us a good laugh (After the call of course) :)
Man, big respect to you, of course it is annoying receiving that amount of junk, yet on the other hand it shows how trustworthy you are
We need a shop like yours in every city
I got inspired to get back in to soldering from your videos, tried repairing an ipod 30pin cable, was successful initially but then one of the pins broke out while I was testing the cable because I didn't give it any strain relief, tried a few more times and sacrificed the data cables to use as power and the same kept happening, I swear they made those adapters to not be repairable, that being said I know it's incredibly tedious to repair a cable plug so small but I still tried (and failed)
but it makes me appreciate how good you are at your job
I am no longer able to focus on such small things and my hands shake significantly which I can't seem to calm so I think I'll just leave it to the experts, microsoldering :D haha
Alex should be addressed as Doctor....such steady hands and a keen eye....John
Alex I am a gasfitter, I would never try to do your job but I love watching you repair vids. Thankyou.
Its a pleasure watching you work. There is nothing as mesmerizing as seeing a skilled craftsman plying his trade. Thank you for sharing this.
That UV light thing gets me every time 😂😂 shout-out to that person who once said it was dangerous to point it at us !! Now we can laugh every time Alex uses the UV lamp! 🎉
Damn he's full of anecdotes. Every video I watch I say there is 70/30 chance I'm getting a new one. Keep em coming
That UV light screenshot is now my wallpaper... to get a bit of sunlight at the desk.
Been watching this channel for months and never commented. But this was one hell of a job. Well done
As an individual that used to do repairs when I was a lot younger it is fun to watch other people and see how they interpret things I appreciate this more than you realize you have made me a faithful Fan..
God bless big boss,really love the dude, a really zen person in this crazy world
I really enjoy your videos. Your clean working is not only satisfying but also teaching a lot, both technical and real life stuff. Thanks for making these videos.
What a PS5 'Hiroshima'...lol and Alex, you turned it into a PS5 Dysney-Land again. You are a true Magician.!!
such a joy to watch a skilled worker doing his things.
I'm working kind of this stuff too, but its amazing what you are doing out there. I can just learn a lot of methods by your videos, professional jobs!
Amazing work. Looks like a mess when you first show the connector, but you saved this ps5. Great. Thank you for the video and this little "preview" of what you have to fix next. Greets
Your soldering skills are just amazing ,great to watch.
I remember opening up a modded PS2 and it's crazy how much tinier everything is in person. It's a lot harder than it looks to solder.
you know since luis rossman quit doing board repair you have become the main channel i watch for board repair. Thank you for doing what you do.
i admire this guy for being skilled and humble. Kudos!
Alex is stepping up his game with the high quality UV light jokes. Is there anything this man can't do?
I don't think he could watch another electronics repair video without finding some kind of mistake 🤔🤣
Watching the flow of solder is therapeutic.. You are the best 👌
Magnificent repair Alex! Your workload is frightening! If only you could acquire a good, experienced technician! I salute your commitment to providing a first class service to customers.
So you become a pillar to rely on. A safety net and life saver. No matter how bad we mess up, we know who to run to crying for help. You can take this as a compliment. People need you! Keep up the good work!
Always great to watch you work. Thanks.
“The brain is a nice tool if you know how to use it”best quote ever love the videos
Nice work mate. I like your humour and little tips you give. Thanks for sharing
Man this is amazing work. I wonder why there are so many broken PS5 HDMI ports.
Probably from falling off tables or people trip on the HDMI cable
bad design form the start, planned obsolescence, that connector should have been on a separate small board with a flex cable to the main board.
@@orange11squares No there is no room for that, All game consoles and Laptops its on board its user error and mistakes that breaks these soo often
Top Job Alex..
very nice to see your videos.
spacialy the ones where it doesn't always works out. you can learn a lot from these episodes in your daily routine
just give a 50% higher quote to accept the tampered items,no shame
Your videos fill me with satisfaction, always a pleasure to watch them. Very good work! A french guy.
Man, you're very gifted. Absolutely amazing work. Art, really.
You are one hardworking fella. Great work!
to be fair
you're probably one of the best repair shops in the world
and secondly
it's so great seeing some of those consoles/gpus/random hardware, so abused, finally getting a shop that doesn't destroy it more than fix it.
it's great content, and you are really good at fixing things
Truly loving your videos. I'm so happy I came across your channel when I was searching for something about my Razer laptop. My whole family watches your videos now lol.
You are so skilled ‼️
It is amazing. I personaly can solder many things but ending in sites on something like 2 decimals bigger of soldering surface than you. I have never seen such a skilled professional.
Alex ....how you keep so cool with so much work ??
It is overwhelming !!!
Dangggg !!!
Good business and yes if my PS5 goes bad it will be Sent to you and only you will put hands on it !!
I learn so much from this friend just watching his videos. unfortunalety, here in Portugal, they dont give a lot of credit in electronic repairs. That's why it is very dificult for me to get the tools that i really want. In time, i have bought a lot from my own pocket and i must one of the very few that do micro soldering in Portugal. I am in the wrong country, i guess. :) Thanks Alex, for your time and your know How.
this guy is awesome. If i need any service for electronics im totally using this guy.
The before Picture and after there are Worlds between them
Great Work
Greetings from Germany
Pure Hiroshima! I love watching your videos, they're very educational. Thank you for sharing.
Master at work. Fascinating how you work. Brilliant 👌
As a low amateur who fixed some stuff on larger components, this was extremely stressful to watch. Good job !
i love the way you work bro, meticulous and detailed like i would dop, still learning, some college mostly self taught but my issue is getting the money for all the tools needed, ya NEED the right tools to do IT right.
Yeah, as already mentioned it might be worth having a statement about prior repair attempts. It should really cost more when you have to fix someone else's mess. You do an excellent job showing how you do it and then the customer thinks they can do it. Learning is great, but they have to practice first before a connector attempt!
hahhaha "if you like a UV light please pause the video!" this was briliand!
Great video! We learn so much with this. Thank you very much!
I was going to comment asking what the temp is that you use for hot air. Thanks for clearing that up for me. The brain is a good tool.
Just subscribed after seeing tht switch repair i had tha same exact problem so i retired that switch n got a new 1🙏🏽 im learning so much watching you Great 💪🏾work 👍🏽
the UV jokes is where I hit the like button; love it Alex. Great video like usually.
Great job. I admire your patience.😃
I watch soccer, can't wait for the biggest sporting event in the world, the World Cup! Great job as always!
I am impressed with the work that you do like a surgeon
Always amazed by your work !
Awesome videos, I'm learning so much from watching you. I screwed up an HDMI conversion on a gamecube that I'm now trying to troubleshoot/repair..... that is what led me to find your channel and subscribe to it.
Espetacular seu trabalho, se eu estivesse aí perto iria te dar uma ajuda enquanto o big boss estiver fora! Pena que estou a milhas e milhas de distancia!!
Ótimo trabalho
That was amazing work man! Subscribed:P
you have amazing hands man ! Respect!
Gotta say, your standard of work is superb.
Man you are a master at your work. I love watching! ❤
I love the soccer game analogy.
Man you did an amazing job on the ripped off pads. You should do this for a living 😆
I think the channel gives alot of people confidence in repairing items. Thats probably why you see more botched repairs coming in. Not saying your not good. You just make it look easy :)
This channel have showed and taught me alot really great job you're doing
ALEX THE GREAT.Saving complaints, one repair at a time😂.
Better than factory 😉 I enjoy watching your videos, your videos sharpened my repair skills quite alot
رائع كالعادة و الأجمل هي تعليقاتك و أنت تقوم بالإصلاح، ممتعة بحق 🌹

WOW!!
Amazing repair work!!!
I hope you charge really good money to overcome these disasters!!! GREAT WORK!!!! and GREAT VIDEOS!!!
It's 2:30 AM in morning here in India and before sleeping i watch your videos. 😀 Love the way the flux flows the solder on the pads. You must also show the new viewers how minute the components are compared to what they see in the video. All the best and pray that your business grows even more in global market. Send some Alex and big boss in India too so that we can send devices for better than factory repairs
Alex, your soldering skills are amazing, so precise, you have golden hands which do this robotic soldering !!! Good job as always! Keep on and may God always be with you ❤️
That's a fine soldering job, looks great
a lot of work/job means A LOT OF MONEY COMING IN TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT... good job Alex. you deserve it. i always enjoy watching your videos
Oh man, that UV joke, I almost fell off my chair at 8:57 "you can pause on that frame and get a good sun tan" hehe :) . Please do not stop the "UV joke" hehe :) You should make a T-shirt from it! Awesome repair Sir, it was fun to watch!
U are so good and love the way u work, I am an up coming technician and I have leant so much from you, I wish to worked with u one day😊
