What video? wrong about what? Oh. that video, I am sorry but I have not watched it.I think discussion got drifted off topic. ....mindless reading.
barbos said:We were not talking about PCB repairs as PCB itself repair. We were talking about PCB based electronics repair. That is when you have perfectly good looking motherboard or something like that which does not work.
Some of the links which you are dismissing out of hand have soldering in them.
barbos said:Of course you can replace physically busted resistor or capacitor, but you have to bust it first.
So?
Also, here's a guy using a cheap radio shack soldering gun to fix a circuit board very cheaply:

As for your posting and mindless googling then it suggests that you have no clue whatsoever.
I am an expert here, not you, and virtually all experts agree with me, this kid is an idiot and liar too.
For the record, I noticed that after I posted a video proving your point wrong, you claimed your sub-thread was off-topic and then used an argument from authority to try to get out of it. While the sub-thread isn't worth pursuing, I want you to know that most people around here will not find your argumentation style convincing: data is more important than an argument from authority.
That's not even PCB repair, that's PCB connections repairs I did that many times myself, it has nothing to do with PCB based electronics repair.
What you see on that video is a cheap chinese single layer PCB with loose wires which break all the time. PCB is effectively plastic of some kind. PCB itself breaks easily and traces can delaminate and soldering work is crap to begin with, but it is cheap and you can find in in ordinary phones, AM radios and clocks.
Board our genius is holding is more expensive variety of chinese crap, it breaks too but it has well made connectors and ribbons and soldering is usually fine. Now if you go further into area of multilayer PCBs then they are made from laminated epoxy-glass. these things don't break at all, I mean you can break it but then it's total loss and not a subject to any repair, period. And despite of your loud proclamations of otherwise I actually responded to your stupid googling and said I did not mean PCB repair, I meant PCB based electronics repair that is when you have perfectly fine PCB without any visible damage.
Also, let me remind you again, that our genius is not soldering anything on that picture, that's an established fact, he is using his soldering iron as a pointer. So you failed to provide the evidence that our genius can solder anything.
So, where is your evidence of ahmed soldering anything?
