#soldering #profit #ebay
obsessed with this series 😭
😍😍😍 Thankyou!
What is bro doing here lmfao
Joey's channel is really growing atm and even TH-cam themself commented!
I see 50k at the end of the year very possible
no way
@@ViilmoI give it 2 months
Joey, stripped screws can be removed with Valve Lapping Compound (Course). Fill the hole with the compound and insert the screwdriver and carefully take it out. Its been one of the oldest tricks in the book and definitely worth trying before breaking any plastics. I hope you find this helpful. The compound can be purchased from your local auto parts supplier for approximately $8-$12. It would be nearly a lifetime supply as you don't need much. Have a great day!!!
Thankyou! I’ve just purchased some so will give it a test in a future video. Thanks for much for the advice!
You’ve gotten so good at diagnosing and repairs over the past few years. Truly an inspiration.
Thankyou Eathen 😊
Epic fix there Joey, very nice! 👍
Thanks for the Spoiler…
@@nickg1688 no worries 😅
Thankyou mate ❤
I love both of your content! Wish i had the steady hands for it!
One of your best videos. It's a bit longer that I like, more technical, you didn't give up and the twist in the end made the final result so much more satisfying.
Man, you're a Legend ! You are doing these tiny microsolderings like it's nothing. I still struggle with basic microsoldering and you perfected your technique so much. I'm flabbergasted!
Thankyou :)
What a brutal repair! These are the repairs that make you think you can fix anything and then you spend insane amounts of time on a repair that actually can’t be fixed.
Awesome diagnostics, Awesome repair! With the speaker shorted, it probably blew the output amplifier in the Realtek chip. 😁
Hey Joey, I really like watching your videos lately and today I actually got a tip for you. If you encounter a severely stripped screw, try cutting a slot in it with the disc looking tool of the grinding pen. It should then be possible to unscrew it with a flat head screwdriver. I have so far managed to get every screw out with this method, even severely (and I really mean severely) water damaged, rusty ones.
That pop at 25:11 was heartbreaking but you got the job done. Nice work.
That seccond switch was a roller coaster. I was rooting for you and fair play, excellent fix!!!
You should take a minute and ensure they aren't first gen (unpatched) switches. You mentioned sell price of $100 for that first one, but if it is an unpatched switch. That number for tablet only can be around $200
Man loved watching this all the way through what a great video. Was genuinely so happy for you at the end seeing it fixed never saw a nintendo with so many issues before but it made a great video so well done!
Me hearing beeps “ yeah thats a short”
Him: “and the short is gone!”
Also me: “yeah shorts gone yeah, different beep that time I heard it”
Such a real experience... Crazy how it works.. one switch not even broken and the other has so many issues its crazy. Well done sir. Happy to subscribe
Not even the cod3r impressed me as much as you have in this video. Cracking job mate. I would never have thought to check the memory. 😀
this is my type of content enjoy the sub man you deserve it :)
That 2nd switch was crazy, just how much work was needed to get it fixed! A lot of people would have probably given up on it...
I love your hoodie. A throwback to your intro from your earlier videos.
Awesome fix!! Well played for not giving in ✌️ That 2nd Switch would have driven me insane 😂
What a rollercoaster!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Great vid Joey as always!
Awesome video! Perhaps a bit late, but when you test the power at 24:11 it looks like you did not plug the WIFI cable onto its receptor before powering on. It is quite easy to burn the transmitter in any radio if it is being turned on without a load (an antenna). You probably know this by now, but I just wanted to mention it :)
Nice! So great that the Cod3r jumped in to help out. Lovely happy video. Good on ya
That was a wild ride! I only work on SFC/SNES, GB(C) and DS Phat/Lite/i (so far) and I can't imagine having to troubleshoot so many tiny things :D
earned my inscription and like, i've learned A LOT with this video, thanks
Old JDT would have hit a block a few points along the way. You've really become quite a great fixer!
That’s a great point! Thanks Jonathan for sticking my around 😂
Great Fix! And Sally is getting a little bit happier as well!
Haha I hope so Leon! Thanks for watching :) 😊
I was looking at that "heat mat" thinking to myself I've never seen one with circles before, but I've got baking sheets just like that. Took a few seconds for it it click! :) Good idea!! I use them for other stuff too.
You have the patience of a Saint. I'd have flung the damn thing out of the Window after about 15 minutes lol
Wow i just randomly came acorss this video, it's really good i couldn't stop watching
Welcome :)
Hey Joey!
Absolutely loving the vids
One solution for stripped screws I learnt a very long time ago from my grandad (who was an electrician) is to use a piece of rubber band and push it in with the screwdriver, then try to unscrew it.
Might seem like an ancient technique, but has yet to fail me!
Anyways keep up the brilliant work :)
Thankyou Josh :)
Okay here's the thing. I started out watching your channel and I couldn't get enough because of how you Carry the vibe of an average bloke fixing stuff. Now it's been a while and I've seen you repair enough switches. You don't have to do this. But it would be awesome if just deviated from Nintendo switches for a little bit
Persistence prevailed exclemt job Joey
Amazing job. Never give up Joey but a switch like this is a pain in the...
Very nicely done
I actually quite enjoy these longer videos! Keep it up bro.. I wouldnt look at it as losing profit, more like you are paying for knowledge :P
Great work Joey amazing find on that emmc 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻
You can use a 1k resistor to test the battery as well. Major drop in voltage is bad.
Nice steady hands, well done
Loving the series, any advice for someone wanting to learn how to do these repairs on this scale? I've started doing some basic repairs like joystick replacements and a charger port or two but I want a better understanding, maybe even to change career since I'm not happy with what I'm doing now
Good job you need so much patience plus steady hands for this type of work plus a decent microscope lol hod much was all you set up when you started
When I started I had nothing and was doing DS Lite repairs :)
Your very skilled bud. That was not a easy fix. Nice job.
The Realtek chips that begin with ALC are usually Audio chips. If it would be RTL than it's a Networking IC.
amazing fix! I love your perseverance!
Amazing fix, thank you. Really enjoyed it!
GREAT Matrix reference!
Huge works ! well played
I also enjoy the longer videos.
Do you list your eBay store for people who would like to buy any of these?
Thanks! Yeah the store is published on my Discord server :) link is in the description
Looks like Roger the Bodger has had a go at Switch #2...
great video and so much to pick up on. keep the
videos coming.
If you use a brush of some kind, it can help to get all the flux off during cleanup.
Now that IPA trick is neat!
Very nice fix Joey, really good work. 👌
im not gonna lie, im kinda high (on life) right now and i seen the zoom on your, now realized gloves, and i thought you had some F'ed up hands LMAO
Nice video. Joey. Are you planning on fixing other types of electronics?
Soon yes :)
well the first switch was a very fast fix indeed
Use a sewing needle to straighten those pins. Keep up the good work.
2 nintendo switches
1/ doesnt recognise joycon solved with some cleaning ipa
2/ it so tricky 1st device have some shorts solved by detecting bad capacitors then some chargin chip went bad and then sound is missing fixed by replacing the chip for it
Quick tip regarding the overall profit. I assume you might not really do this for profit, but in case you are:
Most of the time when you buy stuff that is not working, the cost of buying + cost of fixing is too high to create a good profit (your time is valued).
It is better to buy something cheap (and not broken) that has some value. I buy and sell secondhand online. When you know what you're buying, you have an average x3 ratio between buying price and selling price. Sometimes it is even bigger.
First rule to resell well --> Buy cheap (99% of the time offline) :). Many people avoid shipping products and instead prefer finding buyers in their local area to avoid the risks and hassles of shipping such as fake complaints, PayPal reimbursement, damaged/lost parcels, etc.. Pay cash and buy local!
If you want to fix stuff and resell it: get it for free or for nearly nothing (10 to 25% max of the MSRP depending on the complexity to fix it, not the possible resell price). Negotiate each time with the person that is selling!
Finally, a lot of people reselling broken stuff online have already tried to fix it, so you are buying some hard or impossible fixes:)
If your business model is getting money from YT, obviously my advice does not apply;)
He has a job, this is on the side
Great advice, thankyou. This started off as a hobby so I was willing to dedicate time on it for free, but now I’m looking for further ways to make profits, so what you’ve said really helps 😊
I have an official business address now, so will start to look at selling more stuff online. This will probably be a mix of things I find cheap to 3x, or broken things to sell fixed :)
@@JoeyDoesTech That is a good way to make some money!
Some additional advice from my experience (in France so it might be different for you).
One thing I discovered that sells really high and quick are Logitech Harmony remote controls (since it is discontinued but without real great alternative). Also Bose products sold quick and easy (look for cheap Bose wave to fix for example).
Everything that is video games related will eventually sell, but is facing high competition (games, console and controllers included). So you are not fixing your price, you are following others.
Never pay for books, cd, dvd, etc. A lot of second hand reseller don’t pay for this (for example they are paid to empty houses after a death). The volume of selling products is immense, and your chance to sell them is really low.
Finally, people are always looking for well known brands or high end brands. Synology, Withings, UniFi, Samsung, Sony, Logitech, etc. You can buy a great less-known-brand product to resell, but the velocity of the sale will be slower.
Hopefully some of this is replicable where you live :)
Where do you get your multimeter leads? Ive bought a klein multimeter but im not to keen on the leads. The tips are very short. I like yours for easier visibilty.
0:48, had the sound not loud enough and though "damn a buttonless nintendo 3ds??!?!?" 😀
Damn that Switch was full of issues, wonder how all that happened?
very nice content the only thing that you can do to improve is add the amount of time spent and calculate based on the medium cash per hour someone charges to do that job 👍
Great fix!
Best episode yet!
What an interesting problem... You're really smart dude :)
Just really lucky 😂 thanks 😊
Nice job!
Phils the man 😎
I don't understand how people sell this stuff for so much money? They can't even use it and if they had a warranty, it wouldnt be on Ebay. For all intents and purposes, its worth less than $20
Would you ever consider looking at graphics cards? I have two that light up but no other signs of life
Joey my brother....we need to stay away from gambling with Xbox and Playstations LOLOL
What a hell going through! 🙈💪
Not sure parental control matters anymore for switches.
You can pay 50 cents now to have it removed by Nintendo.
the problem with these switch monitors..i hate hate the batteries runs out..
even if you are not playing a video game?
Dame whatever happened to the second switch took 3 Chips and a capacitor across 2 Board with it...😢
And this is the reason why USB C is a bad design. Lines crossed on the connector means broken one which must be replaced with increased costs.. So repair is necessary on main device and not simply replacing a cable.
Great repairs
Someone read my comment about the "evaporation" vs "dissolve" :D
How does the second switch end up with so many faults all at once??
2 ohm short, but it's reading through the coil which is 2r2?
Good job!!👍👍👍👍
Can someone explain to me e those chips that he removed with heat and soldered back on how that works, how do they make contact back on to the board, most chips have the legs going down that get soldered individually.. thanks for answer my silly probably stupid question in advance.
good work!
Why only 100$ for the switch ? Isn’t that worth more ? Or just cause it’s a repaired model ?
Great videos, but I wish you listed the items in the titles.
nice fix Joey
Hello, I don't understand why that capacitor having continuity means it has a short? Can someone explain this to me please? I'm trying to learn the basics. Thanks.
Hey Love watching your videos i have a great passions for electronics and the stuff you do and would love to get into it at some point, you keep mentioning a Phil Decoda? Apologies if i have spelt the name wrong but is it possible for you to link his TH-cam page please?
18:19 is there a way to find out what kind of capacitor this is without having a donor device?
Where do you get the chips from?
like the realtek chip?
WOW! I really would love to INJECT also!!! Besides... 30k views not bad for that niche kind a contant!
Sk Hynix (aka. Toshiba) are known to be crap.
But the chip was fine, just the cap next to it failed.
Bro please fix the fn delay on the multimeter beep
Trying. To. Fix. These. Broken. EBay. Items. and. Make. a. Profit !
god replacing all those chips and starting negative, withoutt money from youtube just the hours means this is a major L
i dont care about the repairs, all I know is we have the same screwdriver set :D
Alternate title I bought from dk oldies
If someone with basic knowledge wanted to learn more about this kind of work what would you suggest to do? Take a class or just watch youtube to learn?
Honestly just watching plenty of videos on TH-cam! I learned best from video :)
If you're using parts from old switches you've already bought then you shouldn't include the costs in the spreadsheet as you're simply double counting and you're math ends up being off ...
I actually agree. I need to make a change with that on the spreadsheet. Only thing that holds me back is that I have a backlog of stuff from before the spreadsheet.
Can you try playstation 3 or 4 controllers
if u fix 2 screens u should keep 1 for yourself? or a family member..even give 1 or me for free?
