I think most repair shops just hope that it’s dust, anything more is labeled “unrepairable”

[billyc]

Repair Company: We can't do it.

TronicsFix: Fine, I'll do it myself.

[kateiry]

Electrical engineers: Noooo you can't just separate differential pairs!

This man: Hehe jump wires go

[maximusdburritius]

Good job. Running traces like that is hard. I don't understand paying $400 for it though when you can get a brand new one in my area for $150 more.

[jakenuno]

What a great technique! I've been soldering electronics for years and would say I am quite good at it, and I have never seen the use of the iron to melt away a soldering lead. Great work. 👍

[Mr.Tokeit]

He said for $400??!!
Wow that's a lot of $$$

[mega_jonne]

Ur doing the world an amazing job by not letting them go to waste and into landfills. We need more repair guys who arent part time in skill

[Aerospaceman]

Same method we used in the Navy for broken pathways and lifted pads. Good Job, Nice Video!

[asm_nop]

Signal integrity: *screaming internally*
Fr though, it's amazing that this is repairable.

[anut]

Don't blame a repair shop for refusing to fix a device with broken traces, it's so hard also time consuming and the pay mostly not worth the repairs. Just be glad that there's someone like him that able to find the time to fix a problem like this.

[PistolPete]

This is so impressive. I would love to learn how to do this

[monadking]

I worked in a prototype development department with a company and used to do the same thing. It was challenging working under a microscope but it was rewarding. You have to have patience and hopefully the pads are nor lifted, if not, now you have to install new pads.
Some of my boards were 16 layers thick and were back planes to video routers. I used to trim off the wires by scoring the 30 gauge or smaller wire with a razor, by nicking the wire and as I would lift the pigtail it would brake off right at the score line, cleaned it than coated it. All part of the job.
Nice work

[-BREAKITDOWNGAMING-]

I understand this pain as I do this alot -- you guys have no idea how much this sucks to do if you don't have the right tools

[FlyingFun.]

I used to do this sort of repair every day on tvs and videos back in the day, always a relief when it works ok afterwards
..

[Echo_]

There are prettier ways to do this but you did demonstrate that this can be done with very little specialized equipment which I’m all about!!!

[_Raising_Kane_]

Used to do this type of repair all the time with RMS Technologies-Quantum Digital. Primarily for gov. contracts. Some main boards weighed over 75lbs, costing over 10K a piece. Tossing them because of damaged traces was not an option. Low level electronic repair was a must...

[spydercolover]

Reminds me of back when I did surface mount repairs for the air force. Our company would make boards and the machine that took care of most of the surface mounting was never cared after so it always missed things big and small. This makes me wanna get back into that stuff it was so relaxing to just take your time and work. Good video!

[Rptvrr]

As a console gamer, who have had my share of oopsies 😅it’s really refreshing to see the time and energy you put into fixing a bricked machine or it’s accessories! 🙏🙏🙏

[rambofan]

Love this short man you make it look so easy

[davidsnake]

My mom did all this when she worked quality control and other stuff for ATARI in the 80's. Awesome 👌
