The Consoloscopy Channel is where I go deep on consoles and controllers. I've been a fan of taking electronics apart and back together since I was just a little kid 25+ years ago. I've watched, learned, and practiced a lot of the last few years and thanks to the surplus of TH-cam videos out there I'm managed to fix quite a few consoles and controllers. I am a video editor by trade and figured it would be a fun and challenging project to combine the two passions. I like my tutorials to be simple, comprehensive, and satisfying. I hope anyone who watches leaves with the feeling that they, too, can complete the task shown. Good lighting, sound, camera angles goes a long way whether you fully realize it or not when viewing any sort of tutorial. When it comes down to it, if I can pull these sort of fixes, disassembles, cleanings, repairs, and reassemblies you probably can too. Of course the right tools are needed as is support via Likes, Subscribers, Comments, and Shares.
Nintendo Wii U Gamepad - Disassembly, Cleaning, and Reassembly
I got this Wii U Gamepad from a buddy for relatively cheap and while it did work, it needed some cleaning. In this video we take the gamepad completely apart, clean up the plastics, then reassemble it.
The Wii U Gamepad isn't a hard breakdown but with the stickers on the back, some annoying cable runs, and plentiful ribbons, there is room for mistakes. As stated in the video, there were two spots I briefly overlooked that you should not.
The whole job: 7/10.

Playstation 5 Controller - Partial Disassembly, Cleaning, Drift Fix
มุมมอง 1.4Kปีที่แล้ว
Offered to fix my neighbor's stick drift on his PS5 controller. It was an unusual sporadic drift. Not a constant. Picked up some Helder Game Tech Analog Stick Drift Fix pads to see if I could fix up the controller. Difficulty: 5/10 because you have to solder. But it's one of the easiest soldering jobs. Yeah, I know, I know. My soldering job doesn't look that great. But it's functional. Timecode...
SHORT - Steam Deck DBRAND Case Replacement Unboxing
มุมมอง 845ปีที่แล้ว
DBRAND messed up with their first go at a case for the Steam Deck... well, they messed up the kickstand. But they made it right by sending everyone free replacements. Let's take a look at the unboxing process DBRAND is known for and what to expect with the sent replacement. Items sent: Replacement case, new turn based removable kickstand, what appears to be a slight plastic riser, and a USB-C e...
XBox One Original - Disassembly, Cleaning, Reassembly
มุมมอง 8592 ปีที่แล้ว
I got this original XBox One for $50. It was looking pretty bad in the pictures so I figured it’d be a solid project. Getting the console apart is relatively tricky. This was the first Microsoft console I’ve disassembled and feel it’s less intuitive compared to other consoles. As you see, this console was as filthy as the others. Nothing really needed to be replaced fortunately. I’d say with a ...
Nintendo Switch Lite - Disassembly, Cleaning, Assembly, Polishing, Skin Removal
มุมมอง 9952 ปีที่แล้ว
I got my hands on a Nintendo Switch Lite that has seen some usage on it. Some buttons were quite gunky and sticky and it had an unnecessary Spiderman skin stuck to it. The rubber on the analog sticks had also been worn away. My goal was to get this NSL looking as new as it could be and change out the sticks. The whole job difficulty: 7/10.

Nintendo Wii U - Disassembly, Cleaning, Assembly, and Polishing
มุมมอง 41K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I got this Wii U Console off of eBay and while it did work, it was pretty gross. In this video we take the console completely apart, clean up the plastics, motherboard, and metal, reassemble the console, then give a good polishing. The Wii U console isn't terribly hard to get into and put back together, but it does take some time and has about 25 screws(about 6 different variations). The antenn...
Gamecube Controller - Thumbstick and C-Stick Module Replacement
มุมมอง 1.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
While I am considered an amateur when it comes to things like soldering, I was able to disassemble, clean, replace the modules, and reassemble this Nintendo Gamecube controller that had a ton of play in its thumbstick. I figured this would be a good confidence-building first episode for this channel that will focus on cleaning and fixing consoles and controllers. The thought is that if I can do...
