do you even microscope bro? this is apple, when you see resistors in the picture they are most likely 0201
plus cleaning will remove any residue anyway, so why bother spending extra time pipetting "just enough"?
So yeah if you consider that time is money it is his job and the customer will never see the end result as long as the product lasts 90 days of warranty who gives a f... then yeah he is sure doing a great job.
And just with IPA you don't get it clean is my experience, it always shows. Who cares as long as it works.
Thread is getting a little ridiculous, bookaboo is charging me a days labor on some other customers repair and Howardlong is charging me for a special high density connector for a resistor.
I'm starting to think I should have repaired it myself.
it doesnt show, thats what ultrasonic bath is for. You can tell what part of the board was worked on only by non patinated solder joints/bodges around.

no, too busy actually fixing shit . Like I and others said before, this stuff mostly bothers academic types that never stepped into the trenches.
its a good thing if board doesnt work after ultrasonic, it means you caught imminent failure that would manifest shortly making client annoyed/angry
I'm willing to give him a chance if I would learn something but I find I'm just rolling my eyes when he rants.
You don't usually see people with unjustified over confidence out in the field, as they tend to be out of work and too busy commenting on YouTube videos.

His rants can be fun:
After having watched some of Louis Rossmann's repair videos, it seems like he's adding tons of liquid flux on whatever part he's repairing as a mater of course.
After having watched some of Louis Rossmann's repair videos, it seems like he's adding tons of liquid flux on whatever part he's repairing as a mater of course.I guess he does go overboard with flux, but that's harmless I suppose. But I noticed something else (in this video and others of his): he loves to wipe and scrape with hot solder wick. I thought that was a big no-no?
as I pro I approve some of his equipment. His techniques in other hand need some more work. It was painful to watch him to desolder those connector pads by wiping!
Blah, he needs to read IPC 7711/21 guidelines again
Also flux amount is massive. I don't get it why people add a ton of flux everywhere. Well probably I know the reason because youtube guides tell you so. If I do professional work I use flux syringe gun

That looks like it would be really awkward to use personally.
i think some customers expect repair shops to just "simply" repair, and not consider that 1 failed repair could mean double work for the next shop. to the user, he thinks he is bringing the "original" fault to the "new" shop. maybe he should do a live inspection when a customer brings in repairs so the customer could see for themselves the real mess inside as he explains it clearly, maybe by doing that he could charge additional to repair a failed repair ?
It is not about thermal thing killing those pads, if one of the pads accidentally sticks de-solder braid and you pull it might come off and start flipping around. Yeah maybe I have become overprotective at work because QC guys sometimes come nagging about a NC pad missing from 50 pins component or connector so I have been careful not to damage those pads. Yeah kinda pain in the ass when pad comes off and you have to put it back for just looks, nobody likes to reattach those NC pads.
And Syringe gun costs what $10? $30-40 probably with ESD safe plastic. Flux syringe costs $10-20 and lasts at industry level daily use for 6-12 months depending how thin needle head you have.
