Fixing âMy USB Hub 3.0 Mini Portableâ using my soldering tools (w/ my Paper Dolls) [Oct. 24, 2020]
Hi, it is time to fix my USB Hub 3.0 Mini Portable!đđ§ Using my Soldering tools I have among other existing items I need, this is actually my first time doing solo. The last one was being helped by my dad, so now Iâll do on my own. đ And of course my Paper dolls right here to keep myself company.
If you donât see my recorded video, then please [CLICK ME!].
BTW:Â Some of my photo(s) are now combined into one photo using my current drawing/art software GIMP 2.10.20.
So without further ado, letâs get started:
1st to 4th Image(s): ⢠Now as I said before, these are the soldering tools that I already use it from fixing the universal AC adapter/charger back in September of this year. With the inclusion of the rag (for wiping off the solder) and not the Glue Gun, but now Iâll be using it for this topic. Although I havenât shown ya in the first place so here it is. đ
⢠The ff. tools I needed (with links if you want to check it out from Lazada Philippines): â Baoling Electric Soldering Iron - 30 watt variant w/ free solder lead wire [CLICK ME!] (I got this for âą119 during big sale) â Panther Soldering Iron Stand Spring Metal [CLICK ME!] (I got this for âą99, plus I used my free Shipping Voucher) â SUNSHINE ZJ-18 Soldering Flux Paste - 150g [CLICK ME!] (I got this for âą58.20) â And finally two items from home: Glue Gun (for a permanent stick place) and a rug (for wiping off the solder)
â˘The recent item that I purchased is the Soldering Iron Stand, which is very cool and promising for placing my 30 watt soldering iron. My paper dolls said that it looks impressive, I agree.âşď¸
5th to 8th Image(s): ⢠[5th Image] Alright, time to reveal of my USB Hubâs problem!đ â˘[6th & 7th Images combined] Ahh just as I expected! I knew that Iâm gonna bring my soldering tools, it seems the solder from the circuitry board and the USB metal conductor are snapped. So thatâs why I did not worked well. đŻ â˘[8th Image] My paper dolls saw the problem. Hope you could stand back a little, because Iâm attempt to use my soldering iron and lead to solve this problem.
9th & 10th Image(s): ⢠Hereâs my first soldered through the disconnecting metal conductor. My Paper dolls seems impress my working process.âşď¸
11th Image: ⢠So now Iâm soldering all the disconnected part, rest it for couple of minutes to cool off before I tested out by connecting through laptop. đť ⢠But unfortunately, I went wrong too much... So very wrong...đ You see, once I connected with my repaired USB Hub it pops up the âĄâPower Surge on Hub Portâ⥠every time, and it requires to reset the USB hub. Problem-wise I also restart the laptop, in case that I ignore the pop-up power surge warning. So whatâs the cause of being power surge problem with my repaired USB Hub? Well I soldering too much lead on the metal conductor, but not just that but also the board itself (well a bit). âšď¸
Overall: ⢠Iâm... Unsatisfied my repair process. đAnd my lesson learn was, donât apply too much soldering lead...đ Although, I felt myself something missing in my soldering tools collection. So what was it? A âDesoldering pumpâ, if you donât know what it looks like then please [CLICK ME!]. Hmmm I will get that someday... But nevertheless, It seems that Iâm okay without using my USB Hub; even if I attempt to fix it and failed, itâs all good and to that I learn from that mistake. Also my paper dolls understands my mistake, so they forgive me, thank you.đ And speaking of, I just found a better USB Hub with better material used, circuitry board and quality that I have. I will show ya but thatâs gonna be very soon, and so I have two items on my wish-lists.đâď¸đ As for my old USB Hub, Iâll stored in a plastic package that where it should be and itâs officially dead...âď¸
Anyways thatâs the end of my topic. If you want to see my review about that, then Iâll provide some links down below.âđ
