lol I started to questioning myself, on which °C is he talking about?
I had to paused the video, and do some conversion to °F, still doesn’t make sense on “really warm” remark.
If it "might burn his hand" it isnt over 70°c
However much he makes doing this stuff, isn’t enough. My god the technical knowledge he freely displayed was impressive.

I watched this whole video and understood nothing. However, at 67 years old , I could use a thorough reballing !!!
Or maybe a good squeeze? haha
Ain't it amazing what time and gravity can do to you.
Imagine it from a woman's perspective
Massively underrated comment
Ay, he still has a sense of humor
that "being picky" as you called it what differentiates a professional repairman from your average refurbisher.
We need more picky people.
At one point he said he is not going to be picky
Its sad, no one cares about their work anymore. It's all about the all mighty dollar and how fast can you make it... the pride is all gone!
@@mattferrigno9750 I hear ya. And the dollar putting food on the table is important.
Personally I forsee a future where everyone in society understands the basics of the stock market and can make livable wages doing a job they love while letting the hard-working economy as a whole put money in all our pockets so we can do the things we love and live comfortably without worrying about where our rent or food money will come from.
Personally I like the stock markets concept of this opposed to a socialism part of this because the stock market requires #1 that we go out and work for the money we put in. And #2 that we put effort towards the money we get out.
Basically it's not free hand outs but a hard working person receiving extra value from a hard-working economy.
@@linuxd and who is going to repair all those stock-marketers phones??
This video has been totally mesmerising. From a kid, I was always keen to open anything that stopped working; typewriters; watches; radios; clocks; etc. I assumed I’d be able to replace a battery in my first mobile. Boy, had I ever met my match!!! Respect to you Sir, you’re nothing short of a genius in my eyes. 👏👏👏
Here I am within two months of being 81 time on planet, (years) and I am absolutely intrigued with everything you are doing, for many years I worked as mechanic and finding open circuits on boards or just plain lousy soldering. I am really enjoying your trouble shooting methods, Thanks for making an old man happy, extremely interesting ...

I mean its not impossible. I fixed one of the first iphones with an old soldering iron. Yeah i made a mess. But hey it was still working. Probably still is wherever it is.

you're welcome :)
I'm an automotive tech. I always tell my friends never to lie to a professional technician. We WILL find out.
I was selling my 40' Sea Ray boat recently. They buyers mechanic came on the day of purchase to verify that everything was in order. He asked me what kind of RPM's I ran the boat at and how often. I told him that about 20% of the time I am at just above idle as we cruise the shoreline, 70% of the time the engines are around 2,400 for cruising just on plane depending on fuel load and passengers and 10% of the time at full throttle if I am escaping storms or trying to make the drawbridge on time. He smiles and says "Okay, let's see if you are a liar." He pulls out a laptop and plugs into a port near the engines and pulls up the entire history of the engines including temps, pressure and RPM's. I said geez! I didn't know you could do that. He looks at the readings and says "Wow! You are actually an honest person, you are just about perfect with your recollection."
I fix motorcycles, 4 wheelers etc on the side. People drop stuff off and say:it just won't run". I laugh at what I find. Lol.
@@g.k.1669 onoy the naive would say they didnt know those little computers in everything save everything… rather then going thru all the secret squirrel shit just go right to the point hook up to the computer and look rather then measuring penis size to boost your ego
I tell the mechanic I've been hearing some rumbling from the rear end when cornering in one direction only.
Two years later we replace a damaged bearing, on the wheel I pointed at.
I didn't lie. But apparently he didn't find the same issue I observed.
Yup, … I used to remanufacture car, truck engines back in, from the removal stages, of the component from the car, to customers bringing the stuff into the shop, … strip them down, get a good bath/soaking in the hot tank overnight, & after a good rinse down, then split the parts into individual components, and clean any carbon deposits that the hot tank did not degrease, then start the process of inspecting each part, or component of whatever got cleaned up, … gaskets sets, bearing, piston rings & cranks would be re-sized, then machined to what the customer requests were before reassembly, we would order the gasket, & any associated parts to reassemble their engines, & cylinder heads, … if it also had transmission issues, we would ship that select item to another vendor to be repaired as well, … while working on the engine block, & cylinder heads, … it normally took about a week for standard tear down to reassemble components back into the cars, … 6 days on a turnaround, … and we would turn out a completed job Monday through Saturday, … 6 people to a crew, … even went so far as to build our own (air/pneumatic/electrical) honing machine, …
i didn't understand 99% of what you did but it looked and sounded interesting so i listened through the whole thing

Some people like being electronic surgeons instead of biological surgeons. Job security is about the same, electronics takes less school and a lot less intimate knowledge of the subject matter, and there's less chance of getting sued on electronics.

@@PiousSlayer You underestimate my power...
@@dingopisscreek Really????? You think so?????

As being IPC-7711/IPC-7721 certified, I have to say you did this job quite good. Seeing so much incompetence in the electronic industry over the years, I'm thankful there are still picky people out there who take pride in doing the job right. Thank you!
As being IPC A-610-G CIT, seeing all those solder balls all over the board and the solder paste not melted made me cringe.... This board would barely even pass Level 1.
@@RiddimDubstep you coming up on a recert soon? I believe they've been on Rev H since 2020 (either way not a lot of changes were made in that rev) lol
@@silent9pc Rev H got released 3-4 months after I got certified in Rev G. You're not actually required to retrain for a newer revision. I will go for the newer version available when my certification expires.
That being said, I am full aware of the changes made. I like the fact that IPC this time went more into detail over 8.13.3 for QFN packages, in particular for the QFN packages that don't have a continous solderable surface on the exposed toe. Version G had no acceptability criterias clearly defined.
@@RiddimDubstep I know you don't need to retrain for the newer revs, you're right for sure. Funny though we just had some QFN issues today at work we had to clarify for the SMT operator running them, he couldn't get it to flow up the vertical solder face. It was due to the built in thermal plane across those 4 solder faces
@@silent9pc We also use quite a lot of QFNs at work. I have also noticed this problem occuring if the pick and place machine doesn't push the component enough when placing it. Another two reasons I noticed would be that the reflow oven was not getting that area hot enough (hot enough to melt the solder but not the optimal temperature) and/or the liquid time for the solder paste was not enough. Also if the PCB pads are not big enough to fit the required amount of solder paste.
An uncommon issue I noticed is that the thickness of the stencil would not allow enough paste to be deposited over the pads.
“I’m really horrified at seeing balls get squeezed out”.
Me too buddy. Me too.
This video was horrifying seeing the condition of that board, yet totally satisfying seeing the end result. Well done 👏
Im fully committed to repairing stuff. I do most things myself but after I once switched a broken iPhone 6 screen I was done with iPhone repairs, everything is sooo tiny. I have huge respect for these kind of repairs, very nice Video. Subbed! :)
I've replaced my iPhone 6+ screen once and my cousins iPhone 6S+ twice, the main problem is just that cover plate on the display cables when putting the phone back together.
I do agree though, replacing stuff that small is annoying as hell.
@@zeno8402 Porps to you! Yeah those tiny screws which disappear with one deep breath are just too much for me :D
Wow, same here. I can fix anything, but I replaced a screen on some Android phone several years ago, and never again will I touch a phone. It worked out ok, but it wasn't worth the stress and eyestrain.
I'm also fixing a lot of thing, including some electronics products like smartphones, but it's almost surgical and can become easily annoying... First smartphone I repaired was an iPhone 4, screen replacement, but something was so annoying to put back on, I finally damaged the connectors, and had to buy a new one to repair again :/
This guy would have replaced the broken part !!/
But all of this needs special tools, special parts, special skills... I already have too much to learn and to do in my life to go further this way. This is a specialisation, hard to do everything.
@@thichevallier same I used to fix phones for awhile buying them cheap but after hours and hours on each phone, waiting for compatible parts to come in the mail I quickly realized I would be making lots more working a minimum wage job lol. Anyhow I couldn't get a job so I continued this for some time to buy myself food and live till I found something else that paid better.
If you hold a store you can actually get better paying clients with the additional data services. Just repairing to sell phones means you have to erase data and sell at pre owned prices with competitors minus the added platform and shipping fees.
The attention to detail, and the amount of pride you took in your work, is almost unheard of these days. Lots of knowledge and a steady hand. Well done!
That was one of the best saves I have ever seen anywhere. Your patience and persistence is amazing.

One of the most satisfying videos I've ever watched.
You're a wizard, Jason.
Thank you. How do I get hooked into these kind of videos...... it was a random find? And I like your sense of humor and persistence. And clean language too! I learned a lot about “balls” and what reballing is. Worth an hour of my retirement time for sure.
this comment makes me laugh, my dad didn't know what CZcams was until he retired, now every morning he has his face glued to his laptop watching random videos. cheers!
Always really impressive to see someone with the skills to do component level repair on a phone/computer. Board swapping is one thing but this is true skill. Back in the day I was what was called a dog catcher that was before i moved to IT so it is a real pleasure to see someone get into the weeds.
Yeah, wore that same hat myself. Nobody want to pay a good tech worth, so I went into IT as well.
It's not worth it... This kind of service is deservedly expensive and peple are not keen to pay $600 to fix a phone worth $1000. However, it can be profitable to sell refurbished phones (Androids, specially) if you buy dead phones for cheap and use parts to build working ones.
But I agree, it's nice to watch skilled people like this!
@@thaedleinadAre you even reading what you're saying? Saving $400 and recovering possibly-important data? Why wouldn't you do that?

I've always watched your videos with the intent on trying to go back into this field. But life happened and with my shaky hands I can't do it. But enjoy your videos and hoping I can fix my health problem to pursue this career. Keep bringing these videos out, I definitely enjoy you fixing other people's mistakes. Oh yeh finally subscribed to your channel after watching your videos for a year lol, srry my man lol.
This was fascinating. I didn’t know anyone actually repaired at this level. The world we live in is so much more “trash it and buy a new one”. I have an original PS3 I’ve been tempted to have someone look at it.
Most of us in the middle class are, and probably nearly the entire upper class, but there are some of us who don’t automatically replace things.
@@pokemagetech Oh I agree, it’s just the nature of some components. I know this case is also after their data too so that means a lot here. With a phone replacing a battery or a screen is very different from fixing the boards. I just didn’t know someone would try to fix that. My first thought is these components are just too small. So it’s cool to watch me be proved wrong.
Honnestly, repairing at this level is playing russian roulette. If brands can't say for sure that your phone will be fixed for good, it's much safer to give you a new one and recycle the old one.
Most of the time it's not worth it, the technician's time quickly becomes more expensive than the device is worth (not even counting replacement parts). Generally this sort of thing is only done when the device is very expensive like higher end of smartphones, or you absolutely have to rescue the data from the device.
Of course Apple is doing their best to stop this because they don't want anyone to even try to repair their expensive devices, but rather want you to buy a new expensive device, which they know you will. Apple certified techs aren't even *allowed* to do board level repairs.
@@tylisirn Yea. Also I’m aware Apple is doing that and I think it’s wrong to stop people from doing repairs. I believe the device owner should have every right to repair the item/s they own. They also own the personal data on the device and should have all rights to recover said data.
Amazing intricate work. Something I would never attempt. Pretty cool to see hot air melt the solder and also how you formed the solder balls on the IC pins.
Water boils at 100C or 212F (at sea level)
I just subscribed. When I started fixing electronics, Most things had tubes in them. Times have changed. I've been retired for a decade. I see you measuring voltages. I used to always use my scope to measure voltage. Caught a lot of problems that a voltmeter alone wouldn't have caught. Anyway, I've been doing a few devices. Didn't know about the software. THanks.
Absolutely phenomenal! Steady hands and excellent tutorial...
So glad to see you back at it! As for you ‘’question’’ regarding Apple and their technique to solder the shield, well, they use ‘’huge’’ power supply to heat up the shield, and just the shield, and melts the solder in place. All this without heating up the other components. That’s it! But the entry price and customization required is out of reach for us, mere mortals!
To clarify things. I don’t think Apple’s using some sort of ultrasonic power supply as I’ve never seen it used that way (it generates heat through friction by moving one of the 2 parts, the smallest/lightest, in a ultrasonic frequency in order to generate heat and solder them together). But instead, I think they are using a DC power supply, pulsed or linear, and running a current through the shield in order to get it and only it hot and melt the solder. It’s called resistive soldering. It’s wildly used in the industry (I know, I’ve engineered quite a few of these).
This is like a Dr. House episode. I ain't lupus if there are 30 minutes left.
Beautiful work brother keep up the great work.
Interesting process..thanks for being honest..nice to see the intricate troubleshoot punchlist in effect..
Nice, well done, I repair iPhones, usually batteries and screens, had a 7 with no audio, looked a bit white and furry insude but a soak in ipa and brush clean it came off and looked ok but still no audio, took off the audio IC it was furry underneath underneath, cleaned it up and put back on, audio now works perfect was well happy first time working to that level on a iphone with no microscope just my JBC hot air rework and pace mbt 250 soldering iron rework station, I generally avoid water damage as previously experience tells me that it's never gonna be reliable so I can't warranty it, also spending 3 horus on it is not viable for my repair cost, still nice to see others having the patients to go the extra mile and persevere with excellent results.
IPA! You soaked in beer?!
Just kidding.
Well that was fascinating. I’ve never messed with components as small as that, so it was really cool to see how it all goes together.
and you don't know how small they really are until you have something to compare them to like the point of a pin.....
I couldn't pick up something that small with a pair of tweezers

If the customer is THAT concerned with the safety and security of their data, a refurbished phone is NOT the way to go. Mind you, Apple phones are so truly heinous these days that even a brand new phone isn't going to necessarily ake your data and more safe! Excellent video.
Brand new apple phone == old phone that user traded in plus a new solder connection. Fact
Brand new Apple phone is the safest bet for data and privacy, not refurbs.
The question I always ask is: "If the data is so important to you, why have you only got one copy of it?"
@@OfficialSamuelC Brand new, or refurbs, it does not matter. Person “commen sense” telling people to backup data to iCloud, or something else. Unless they too lazy, or too stupid to be stupid to backup. That or person crying for data not telling the whole story. Might be BS, stole iphone and trying to get info from it.
@@SMITT359 they had the password for it… common sense
Very nice and professional job mate, cheers.
I used to work in at a computer repair store till it didn't feel as fun to me anymore. I just came across this channel and he's very good at his job. Found plenty of defects in the repair. I would love to get into fixing phones. Maybe I should swing back over to XDA and see what's been going on lately.
Excellent video and explanation of where and why and how you do your repairs. I love videos like that. Thanks a lot. Keep up the great work
Just a suggestion to help people 'see' what you are seeing - show same areas you are pointing out on a new or trouble-free phone.
At the about 12 minute mark he mentions not having a good board on hand to test
So tempted to jump to the end, confirm it works, then go back and watch, but I'm intrigued by the mystery of what's going to happen!
Spoiler alert 😂
I'd be worried just replacing a battery, let alone re-balling an IC. Thankyou for all the work you do. Keeping old phones alive keeps the memories they may hold alive. Photo's, Messages, and voice recordings of loved ones that have passed. You are truly a Wizard of the modern age.
Proper job! Well done sticking with it
It definitely is Christmas thanks for the awesome videos Jason. Merry Christmas to you and your family

Squeezed balls
Best hour I have spent on U tube in many moons my first computer was a Pentiem 1 with a Trident sound card great upload hello from Australia
Always great to see a real pro at work.
Gregory House said it best, "People lie."
When they said it sometimes got an image what they meant to say was it worked when they got it, the screen started going off a little while later, it got gradually worse and they refused to bring it to a shop until it would not power on at all.
We see this all the time in IT, the computer would turn off due to thermal issues but as long as it would work for 10 seconds at a time they wouldn't bring it in. They'd only bring it in when it refused to boot at all. At that point it isn't something as simple as replacing the heatsink fan, it's replacing the CPU and motherboard.
"I mean, if you like balls, this is definitely a phone for you."
I imagine I'd be more horrified if I knew what "ball squeezing" was, but as is, I'm laughing.
Solder likes to form little balls due to surface tension, like how water forms droplets. In this context, it means someone used too much solder, so little solder balls were squeezed out from a component and not cleaned up afterwards.
@@StormTheSquid Oh right, so it's not quite air/heat bubbles slipping under the hot surface?
Either way thank you for the explanation!
Didn't understand a word but still fascinated. Nice work getting it working. God bless
Jason this video is a masterpiece to someone who does not understand anything you did but greatly appreciated that you continued commenting all through this repair process
I came across this video because you use the word horrifying so I thought maybe you might have uncovered something sinister☺️❗️
