There’s something about making a motor controller work again that can’t be beat. It’s better than fan spin on a Mac. . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCF_k94hQ_X/?igshid=1t70i4o6yelal

Definitely the first email I wanted to see today. Thanks Apple. (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8QfFDBxpL/?igshid=bq7n3fp23hq6

Way to bury this as the second to last point for the iOS announcement Apple. Probably the most significant change in the update... (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CByUDsiB9G2/?igshid=1fuflss2dxtx0

Just incase anyone needs to extend a Square Signature Pad all of the lines are straight through and connected so you can just jump from like to like internally with any appropriately gauged wire. This is specifically being done for a restaurant that wants to take orders at their register but keep the signature pad at the door. I’m also going to add a switch inline for the pad so that it can be turned on and off from the register which will facilitate effectively hot swapping to and from the pad for tips and signatures on phone and in person orders. . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBsCGjqhSAo/?igshid=1l2ruavautio3

This iPod can’t in missed three pads due to damage during disassembly. We were able to rebuilt the pads and reinforce the connector thus saving the board from being scrapped! . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBevU3rBOfz/?igshid=1lkhk16ihrtuo

So this dell laptop came in because it stopped powering on. One of the keyboard screws had loosened itself and shorted out literally the worst part of the board, the charging circuit. It’s under a year old and Dell won’t honor the warranty so I’m goi g to be doing a deep dive into how this particular circuit works. For all my fellow repair techs, if you run into a similar charging circuit issue where there is this kind of damage and surface mount components need to be replaced but you can’t identify their values just find the charging controller chip, google the part number, and find the manufacturer’s design documents. Most Laptop OEMs just use that same reference circuit from the manufacturer so you can identify capacitor and resistor values (along with what voltages should be where in the chip itself). . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBctmb6hcTV/?igshid=1xprrc6uyubda

Pressure sensor for butts on bike seats for a local fitter.

Final SE/30 main board repair done! That’s about 60 capacitors replaced, twenty traces rebuilt, nine chipsets pulled for cleaning, and what feels like a bucket of UV Masking to protect those repairs. Now ready to go back into the wild! . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair #se30 #vintage #vintageapple #vintagecomputer (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZGameBYk0/?igshid=i4wb3km4k8x3

Some chips I pulled off another SE30 Logic Board this evening so that I could rebuilt something traces running under them which were damaged by leaking electrolytic capacitors. . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair #se30 #vintage #antique (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVWoUChUKk/?igshid=1qwn3s2nssh8y

It’s finished. Now I only have to do four more... :D . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBT-uGOBY0c/?igshid=1kfkaxuyb16ez

Well, at least I can say that I’m 25% of the way through this board. I was hoping that it would be a simple capacitor replacement but... it has become a little more complicated than that. . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBSeS6RB_pd/?igshid=1p63jvww7pug

HDMI Retimer Replacement for an XBOX One X that wasn’t outputting a display signal. Also had to replace a shorted capacitor in the area and reflow the HDMI Port legs, but I just wrapped up an hour of play testing with Minecraft and zero dropped frames or overheating now. . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRzXMZhjCN/?igshid=1v12pu6dgu3e7

Baaad liquid damage on this iPad. Might be recoverable after a good washing.

Found this little guy outside Petite Provence. Probably the sixth or seventh I’ve run across in town. There are some dinosaurs hidden back in some neighborhoods in Southeast as well. Are there any really good ones I should make a point of visiting? #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMudrwhmwA/?igshid=1gsgihw42sub3

Spent way too long on this today, but it ended up looking so freaking cool. Vintage headlight circuit boards circa 1980-ish needs a ton of trace rebuilding following leaking capacitors. . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBFL7l9B-Er/?igshid=16k05wswjr9d3

Guy was rocking out on this while waiting for the bus across the street at 2:00am. I was so confused where the noises were coming from. . . . . . #Portland #pdx #pnw #oregon #portlandrepair #pdxrepair #pnwrepair #oregonrepair #portlandrepairshop #pdxrepairshop #pnwrepairshop #oregonrepairshop #repair #righttorepair #phonerepair #computerrepair #electronicsrepair #headphonerepair (at Bridgetown Electronics Repair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBB0cZThMtt/?igshid=hfmdr1i3gdk4
