==Repair== Narrator: "Time to finally repair something" A glossy orange slide shows the text "Repair time!" Narrator: "I used my soldering iron to remove the nearby capacitor and the resistor." The microscope shows the same scene as before. Tweezers hold the yellowed capacitor while a large square soldering iron touches its side. The soldering iron barely makes any contact with the capacitor. Narrator: "I heated up one side of each component then forced that side upwards off the pad" The solder on the capacitor melts on one side and the tweezers pull the component to stand upwards. The iron then melts one side of the resistor while holding it with the tweezers. The resistor slips from the tweezers and bends sideways, disconnecting from the opposite pad. Narrator: "Then I heated the other side up and pulled the components off" The iron melts the resistor's pad again and the tweezers pull it away. Part of the resistor remains on this pad too. The same happens with the capacitor, leaving part of its remains too. Narrator: "Next I ran a wire to replace the resistor" The soldering heats up both resistor pads and cool to hold a small wire in place to bridge them. Narrator: "Then I cleaned up the spent flux" A cotton swab is used to clean remaining flux from the board. The board is then shown post-clean. Narrator: "Do not do this!" The text "Do not do this!" appears. Narrator: "First, did I need to remove both components?" The board is shown again, with the resistor and capacitor circled. The text "Should I have removed both?" is shown. Narrator: "Measuring the resistor's voltage drop would show if it was faulty" A multimeter is shown probing either side of the blown resistor. The text "Measuring voltage drop would show if the resistor was faulty" is shown. Narrator: "Secondly, I removed the components wrong" An orange cartoon resistor sits on a an abstract blue circuit board. The text "I desoldered components wrong" is shown. Narrator: "I forced heat through one end of the component" A cartoon soldering iron touches the end of the resistor. A gradient of red heat from a soldering iron heats up one end of the component, with the other end still cool. The text "I heated up the component" is shown. Narrator: "This let me lift one end up" The cooled component is shown partially lifted up, with one end floating above the previously heated pad, and the other end attached to the other pad. The text "Then lifted only one end up" is shown. Narrator: "But I risked pulling up the other end's pad" The resistor is now transparent, revealing the other pad has actually been partially lifted from the board. The pad is circled. The text "But risked lifting the other pad" is shown. Narrator: "The proper way to desolder this is using a hot air gun" The resistor is back attached to the board and a large circular gradient of heat from above is shown heating up the resistor and board. The text "Hot air would desolder both pads" is shown. Narrator: "Then removing the component using tweezers" The resistor is now completely gone from the board, with the board and pads still hot. The text "Then tweezers could be used for a clean removal" is shown. Narrator: "Here's the display before the fix" A video of the screen showing unreadable faint blue text is shown. The text "Before" is overlaid. Narrator: "Here's the display after the fix" A video of the screen showing bright white text is shown. The contents is the same as the cut-off login text from the previous section. The text "After" is overlaid. Narrator: "This fixed the brightness, but not the original issue" A glossy purple slide shows the text "This fixed the brightness but not the original issue"
