I Bought a FAULTY Anbernic RG NANO | Can I FIX It?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- This RG Nano powers off after 5 (or 6) seconds and doesn't charge. Will it be a faulty battery or the USB-C charging port?
Let's find out!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

At 13:02, you have connected the screen while the battery was connected and probably the device had booted already. The screen might have skipped any initialization commands from the chipset during boot, so the screen was appearing not to turn on. However, the second time you seated the screen you did disconnect the battery first and then connected the screen which returned things normal.
I always 3d print small flexible covers that snap into those power points. It save all the crap and damage in the port.
I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is: what do we call the channel? And I think it comes down to a choice between "StezStix Fix?" or - and this is my personal preference - " The Channel for the Laid-back Investigation of Tiny Objects and their Repair for Interested Spectators".
Erm, one drawback with that - the abbreviation is C.L.I.T.O.R.I.S.
I absolutely love this explosion of retro handheld devices we've had in the last few years. It's so competitive at this point that you can get extemeley well built devices at almost any price point.
Wish we had these 15 years ago, I've always wanted something like this when I was a kid.
Except for the charge ports, they may not be extremely well built.
Sure, it is possible that the previous owner tried to cram an entire Muppet into their pocket along with the handheld, and the Muppet tried to f**k the charging port, but if your USB C port breaks in 4 months, you're doing something wrong, or it's not an extremely well built handheld.
Besides the buttons, the charging port should be the beefiest part of a handheld and it shouldn't break easily. There isn't even the possible excuse of plugging it in upside down.
@@Boogie_the_cat Have you ever gotten your hands on an Anbernic aluminum, Miyoo, or Powkiddy handheld? That's only naming a few and they are all excellent.
They are all extremely well built. I have no idea where you are getting the idea that the charging port is the only thing that is well built. Do you also think the same about the Steam Deck, Asus Ally, and new Odin?
You should really do some research before spouting off incorrect information.
Hey buddy, just wanted to say thanks, been going to some medical issues the last couple months and your videos have really helped keep my mental state while going threw all these medical visits. please keep up the amazing work!
You're never on your own mate 👍
All the best to you
Highlight of my weekend these videos wait for them every Saturday x 😊
Speedy recovery!
Go well darlin’ and blessed be. 🙏 💕
10/10 for the t-shirt. When you know, you know...let's hit it hard and fast, and I mean fast with a leaflet campaign.
I thought thats what it was HAHA. Chameleonic life forms? No thanks!
Yes, I was pointing at the screen for the opaque bit of plastic which would diffuse the charging LED when it's put back over the port 😅
Phew. I’m glad you stopped the fade. I don’t know how much louder I could have yelled at my screen to have you check if that LED was lit. Good fix. PS: Dave did a bang up job holding onto that D1.
I recently came across on Amazon USB-C silicon plugs with an adhesive strip to attach to the device. Maybe worthwhile to buy a few. This way you can have it in your pocket without worrying of other things like keys in the pocket stabbing and breaking the port again.
Your soldering skills have much improved!
Nice try Mr USB-C silicon plug pusher inc!
@@TheSoapyJew Oh no! Nothing gets over your head, your reflexes are too fast!
Stupid Tiny Thing
I actually love your rap song. NO JOKE its pretty fun and enjoyable. id love to make you a beat LOL
Steve can you do a video of the usb c /hdmi kits u have and the capacitors/filers fuses kits you recommend for bigginners I enjoy fixing my own stuff. Got myself a digital microscope for 70 quid edm9 pro hdmi. Your channel has me wanting to fix more I have a pile of things to fix lol thanks keep up the good work
Give Quiche a Chance Smegheads ❤❤❤
My favorite part of this video is the Give Quiche a Chance t-shirt. 😂
yeah. This is Arnold Rimmer's T shirt I seem to remember. Im guessing Steve also knows all the verses of the Arnold Rimmer Anthem LOL
@@logothaironsides2942 I propose we hit it hard and we hit it fast, with a major, and I mean major, leaflet campaign.
Dwayne Dibbly is my fav.. Steve where did u get the shirt it's awesome.. one of my fav episodes.. but let's circle back to that lol
Instant thumbs up for Red Dwarf!
It's great when you have the right component in a tub to fix something straight away. Well done on another fix.
Chameleonic life forms? No chance!
Asshole as in YOU not Mr Stix. You drainlife
Well done Steve, always a pleasure to see your combination of experience, humility and intuition work its magic.
I didn't know you were a Red Dwarf fan ? ! 😄 Love the T-shirt !
l. Bought. a. Faulty. Anbernic. RG. Nano. Can. l. Fix. It
Steve. LED. Light emitting... Diode.
Aluminium was called Aluminum first because of the connection to Alumina, Sir Humphry Davey change is so it fitted in with the other -ium elements, I think he forgot to tell the rest of the world :)
@@rickmastenbroek5447no, we call it a-loom-in-um
Dummkopf.
If y'all wanna be a geography racist you get what you give buddy
Learn what the f yer talking about before you start to sound even dumber than reality.
I've lived 42 years in America, and not heard a single "yank" drop the "n" from aluminum. We say it how we spell it.
People are different, that's what makes the world interesting to those of us (unlike you) with open minds and hearts not full of hate (like yours)
Dummkopf. Essen scheißen
We in the Netherlands also call it aluminium, but then again Americans call a ‘Zed’ a ‘Zee’ so what do they know😂
It's "Aluminium", you had it right the first time ^^
Love Red Dwarf 😂😂
That's cause we're the smart party
I have to say, I never knew they're so many different USB ports. Sad they didn't "Standardize" them... Thumbs Up!
That is standardisation. When that happens, you need various versions of the standard for different applications. If it wasn't standardised, then every variation that you see there would have a different connector. The fact there are so many usb c pin variations is actually what we want.
The only "non standard" USB-C thats actually incompatible with the others is the PS5 controller. Otherwise you could technically bodge any of them in should you desire.
Great t-shirt! Love Red Dwarf.
"this is very cute" no Steve, YOU are very cute
What model soldering station do you use?
Love the Red Dwarf reference 😉
I just gone one of these. Mine was dead in arrival due to the memory card being fake. Once i replaced it it has become my favorite little handheld. Im playing Pokemon trading card game 2 on mine as i type this.
Love the deep cut Red Dwarf shirt 👌
so is part 2 of the master system comming?
I have mutiple Anbernic devices and one won't charge at all so this also helps to try and troubleshoot it.
I've got a couple of them now and I really like them. I guess it's more often than not going to be a faulty port, but you never know!
Give Quiche a chance?
Wait, is this a John Lennon yolk?
I'm bacon on it.
Superb t-shirt in this one, Steve.
I really hate the Patreon Crap😢
Yikes, it's minuscule!
A result for you Steve,the seller probably could have got that repaired under warranty but maybe the destruction of the usb port might have invalidated that!
I have a Steam Deck and I can barely see the screen.. such is the power of getting old... I can't imagine using that microscopic thing :D How's the new place anyway?
😁 it is pretty tiny to be fair. I just like it for it's novelty value, it's not a patch on the Steam Deck! 😂
I bought one when it came out and it is mostly novelty. It's ok to play games I know really well so can fill in the blanks a bit myself 😂
Where did your love of hiphop come from? I always thought it was just a gag or whatever but you're out here name dropping Sticky Fingaz from Onyx. Real one.
Just found your channel. Working my way through your past posts. Nice videos 😎
Hey Steve. My name is Marcus and I live in America. Got a couple of questions for you. That thing that you worked on in this video does it have a MicroSD card slot on it? And where do you get your assortment kits from? Like the one you used in this video?
It’s always good to illuminate your ring. Great music by the way, looking forward to the album.
"LETS CHECK FOR JEFF BRIDGES!" you absolute legend!!! 😂🤣
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but your soldering was top notch. Give yourself some credit. You are entering Pro status.
Your screwing on the other hand….need some attention mate…A friend.
The Onyx Sticky Fingaz line will go over most people's heads haha! Great reference 😂
I can't listen to Sum 41 anymore, after realising he says 'Things" and almost all words ending in "ing" as "een" "All the, small THEENS" "WatchEEN" "WaitEEN" and the most egregious is commiserating pronounced as "CAM-IZ-ER-AITEEN" I used to love them too, if they come on I'll sing along but I'll avoid putting their music on these days after noticing that, lol! I'm becoming such a grumpy old man!
Hi just wondering if you whuld like something to fix up that was found in the abandoned unit we found. Neil from the rmc cave had the commador pc20. Its the one covered in bird poo lol. I have other things left so if you are interested let me know
Infinitely disappointed in you when you changed from using the correct Aluminium to Aluminum...... XD
I mean i'd even have accepted Alumium, but the US version is just wrong in your accent :-(
STEZSTIX FIX!!!!!!!
Once the jam starts I always forget I'm watching a fix it vid ....I'm just jamming out ..let's go !
Make a song with a Mac Dre flow. Here are a few hits from him, Get Stupid, Not my Job, Something you should know, Feeling My Self. Just saying, seems like you are always rapping in different styles like you are discovering new artists everyday.
Hi Steve, great fix video mate, on another note, may I ask where you got that assortment of usb connectors in the box, I’d like to get some thanks 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Joe from Australia 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Did you actually luck out on which polarity that LED was sitting in the first try or actually taking note on it? Murphy did not care this time O__o
It's aluminium. Don't pander to the left-ponders who can't pronounce their words correctly!
Actually, I rather like the Ambernic consoles. Even the plastic ones are well put together.
Your crooning of the Glade Plug-In jingle just flooded my brain with old commercials. That was weird. :D
Why do you apologize to offended murricans not being able to spell Aluminium?
They don't bother with Titanum, we should just laugh in their faces like usual.
I think I’m gonna start pronouncing it: Al-you-mini-um. I like it better. I live your vids. Keep up the good work.
Hey Steve,
totally loving these videos! Recently i cant stop watching them and wanted to start to fix some weird things myself. Are there any videos/instructions that you would recommend on getting started? I have no idea about electronics but i‘m eager to learn =)
Thanks for the entertaining and actually also educational videos!
It amazes me how hamfisted people are. Another nice USB port fix....
Ha! I yelled at the screen “but what about the LED?!” and it was like Steve heard me and interrupted his fade out. Excellent fix, fun rap today too!
Love the Red Dwarf T shirt. Wonder if you're a member of C.L.I.T.O.R.I.S?
This is the only song I haven't skipped. Banger! I reckon you need to boost your upper mid frequencies so your vocals stand out from the backing track. I promise not to skip if you do :P
This is probably not what you had in mind for me to get out of this video, but I am totally going to download some software and record myself singing all parts to some Blink 182 karaoke song! Also, great fix! :D
Two things from me: first is that I love my RG Nano! I really didn’t think I would, but it’s been great for one-handed Pokémon on the commute. Secondly, that’s by far the dankest, stickiest rhyme so far. Great job.
Yo Steve, the best rap to date!! Props for the Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince reference! Keep up the good work
i used to never skip your songs but since you've got a lot more supporters the songs are just a bunch of names in a row. no hate or anything, that's how it goes when you get more successful. love your videos and been a long time fan!
Remind me never to watch your videos while eating nacho dip and tortillas, that dirty port put me right off, lol 😆 😅😂. Another solid video x ❤
I like to think that your t-shirt just said "give quiche". As a nation we don't give enough quiche and I like to think your statement t-shirt will help.
You need to UNPLUG the battery before connecting or disconneting a display or anything else
I'm sure you've heard it before, but like many others I'm not a fan of the rap music. This video however had a great rock track while you were soldering the port on.
Only just noticed you "Give Quiche a Chance" t-shirt....nice 😂
I just burst out laughing in my office at that first "solid". Luckily I was alone.
I must say this is my favorite home haunted Repair Shop Channel for sure.
That looks like the size of a postage stamp when you're holding it with your King Charles mits Steve.
Great video as always! Have to ask though, what is the name of the awesome tune playing around 7 minutes?;I would love to use that on one of my videos 👍
Bisakah bantu saya Anbernic Nano saya layarnya hitam tidak bisa menyala tolong bantu 😢😢😢😢
Hey I have an snes classic that has become faulty. Starts shutting off at about 20 minutes. I have 2 so I’d send it to you if you’re interested. But it’s ntsc I guess..
I play my mini consoles a lot
Well done bodge, and thanks for transporting me back to 80s music.
killing it with the music today
i guess there was a reason to why the price wasn't mentioned. Probably to not rub salt into the wounds since you got it working again.
as an obvious rap connoisseur have you heard Ren - The Hunger, think you'll be impressed
You’re cute too Uncle Steve - by the way some scammers are using your name for a fake telegram thingy
I’ve reported quiet bit of them
Love the background music in the beginning, sounds like some Tool music
Hey Stez, been watching your videos for some months now. I think this song is your best, I’m a sound engineer, if you want you can send me the tracks of this song to mix it for you (for free of course)
So im from the US and...... i like pronouncing it 4:04 cuz it sounds better 😪
I love your videos bro!! Informative and funny as hell!! Got my sub bro!!
Hello, I follow you since a little time now and I find electronics interesting, do you have any suggestion where I can learn some pls? Online if possible, don't rrally have a lot of time for a school
dead tiny isn't the worst thing i've been called
Solid "aluminum"...? you're not colonial mate! It's aluminium!
Love it, you can play while unlocking doors.
I to played WORMS waaaay to much as well man :) You earned a sub ages ago but now you have earnt muh respect.
I have one of those and for some reason I just call it Amberdick. Great video :)
have you ever given consideration to how much your work has kept fro the landfills? keep up the good work.
Ace repair Steve, now play it under the microscope.
Great video as ever. Mate, you breathing in the plumes of smoke after soldering bothers me, hope you have an extractor or ventilation out of shot!
Yay, I'm honestly ecstatic to see you are finally working on an Anbernic device. I haven't seen any reputable YT creators that have actually done a good job at even going over the device.
i need to know where to get that exact usb kit asap. been looking ebay and amazon but can't find that exact kit! any help would be much appreciated
my head went ooooohhhhhhhh about 3 seconds before video steve did 🤣🤣🤣 bet dave knew exactly what was going on😛
Bad Double Dragon Port. Pretty stupid game...
