It's our teardown expert Andrew's turn to sit at the microscope and today he's going to be replacing the USB charge port on a Samsung Galaxy S3. Watch as he creates alloys to make joints easier to solder! Marvel at his abilities to tin pads, and correct his mistakes when he bridges pads. Cheer him on in the hopes that all his efforts won't be in vain!
