good job man. im waiting for the next. Hi to big boss 😉
I saw tronicfix do the glue stick with heat gun method first. I can't believe you're stealing ideas from him…… Just kidding, Alex. Hopefully, we're still "SOLID". (Long time fans of this channel will get this.)
I was thinking you were gonna place some of that solder mask. I hope your hot glue solution holds.
I would have just made a huge solder blob to hold the connector. Maybe use sealing wax or superglue if there were no pads to hold the connector.
Looks like the word has gotten around that NRF is the place if you are an auto dealer and need your expensive diag tool port repaired. Probably a very common issue.
Creative thinking which results in, for sure better than factory!
Alex, I've been watching your videos for a while and from time to time, you come up with new techniques to aid your craft, like the hot glue trick. I love how you keep learning, improving and sharing. Better than factory!
Nice job 🙂
You did 100% better job than the customer. But I wonder, what would happen if someone drilled through the back legs and used a through-hole connector instead?
Very good. great job. Thanks for all your hard work
Very nice work. Maybe it is cheaper for the producer to use or make boards without throughhole pins. But i guess the reason is, that they know that it breaks easier and the costumers have to buy a new one or bring it in for "repair". They change the device, give them a new one and cash some extra money for it. Of course it will not get repaired by the factory. Great video, thank you
I get a lot of these in too for the same issue. What a junk design!
As someone who repaired a lot of ripped-off SMT power connectors I must give props to your method of securing the connector with some hot glue in the case! I would recommend to enhance the stability by soldering thick wires to the connectors' metal shield and route them to the underside of the PCB where they are soldered to the ground layer. The wires will withstand the force applied to the connector when the cable is inserted much better than the tiny soldering pads on the board.
SOLID. That's why he's the Boss of all Bosses.
Alex you're my idol. I love watching you work. You inspire me, and thank you for this channel.. I've learnt so much from you…and I keep buying your products whenever I get money. I trust your product because they are verified by you. Much love.
Beef soap delicious
brilliant fix
Awesome work as always. I watch every video. Your way better then anyone I ever seen do this type of work. I have seen alot on camera and off. Even friends of mine. I have even tried I did pretty good for my self but practice make perfect. Have a awesome day.
"hot glue" are silicone glue?
I worked in a VW Dealership in Germany for more than 6 years. We had like 10 of those dongles and never broke a USB connector. What the hell are they doing to rip it off so often ?
Sandwich connection is what we call it here in uk alex..great job simple but effective ….
Be sure to have a connecter inserted while applying hot glue. Otherwise you'll end up with hot glue inside the connector.
Came in for repair.
why would u not hold that small piece of glue with some tool and then melt it.
you dont have to damage those precious fingers.
Just an idea, I'm not sure how the dongles are used (I presume directly connected to the PC), but if you were to develop an enclosure that physically attaches to the dongle, you could house a daughterboard with a female usb type C connector connected internally to the mini usb connector.
Even better would be to create a slightly larger full enclosure that would accommodate these components.
That way you would have a safety in case a technician breaks the port again.
Nowadays 3d printing is not that complicated, so I think this could be an easy solution.
"What's a finger or two between friends?" That's what she said.
Rough with their stuff.
Another great class, thank you.
