I found your channel like 5 days ago as a recommendation after watching a tronicfix video and I’m hooked dude. It’s like an actual problem. I’ve seen like maybe 60 percent of all your videos in that short time 😅
that’d be awesome, I do some amateur repairs myself and I’ve learned so much from your videos. You’ve definitely leveled up my abilities 10 folds, I just need more practice for my work to look as clean and tidy as yours
Thank you so much for walking us through your thought process for everything you do. These simple fixes often teach your audience the most. Thanks Joey!
You can make a lot of money fixing damaged GPUs, the broken ones are cheap and profit margins are high, however i think they are a nightmare to fix. But would make of an awesome episode of Joey Learns :)
I've looked for non working gpu's on ebay a good bit and people are asking crazy prices for them. I made the mistake of buying a reballing station for my workshop before really digging into prices on bad gpu's and on a lot of models they don't leave much room to profit if you actually list them as repaired, there are a few guys that list them as regular "used - good" instead of "repaired" i always feel it is dishonest to not disclose something as having been repaired which hits the amount people are willing to pay, kinda like cars with a rebuilt title. Have been able to turn a decent profit on nintendo switches that needed the gpu reballed though, there are quite a few of those floating around that people have attempted to repair already and are dirt cheap, I've revived quite a few of those that were listed as "parts only" but only needed the apu reballed.
You should make a few connectors so you can use a pc power supply to test these consoles with dead power supplies, i did this a while back, you just have to dig up a pinout for them. Its great to have a known good power source for console testing, has saved me a lot of time and headaches just testing all of the consoles i get in with a known good power source before going any deeper in troubleshooting. I work on industrial control pcb's for my job and thats one of the first things the guy i apprenticed under taught me, eliminate the easy possibilities first before wasting tons of time investigating more difficult to repair issues
Question, do you often get one of the item you sold for part because it was unfixable sold back to to you? Do you leave a mark in them to know if you already been in there?
Love the vids! Is there a reason for not atempting to fix a power supply ? i find these to be easier, as usually powersupplies come with a blown cap, or burned transistor so more visually easy fix :)
@@Tomas-x8x I'd even say 325 reasons as that's a typical peak DC voltage on a UK SMPS :-) Bleeding the caps is only one issue (it shouldn't be done quickly, although most well-designed SMPS have bleed resistors for safety) and replacement components typically need careful choice. There are also more interdependencies than you'd meet on a normal circuit, so replacing an apparently faulty component might appear to fix the problem but leave the real issue. But if you've got the experience and understanding of the risks, then that's fine - Joey takes a very common sense approach in my view.
correct me if i'm wrong, but if a resistance test like that starts off with a continuous beep or otherwise low resistance, that then quickly increases to a medium-high value or going out of range entirely, that would be a sign that you're probing across a capacitor, no? the resistance test ends up charging the capacitor with the test current, which then causes the resistance of the capacitor to increase until it's fully charged, yes?
I seem to remember it's because Joey would not feel comfortable selling a console that he has done that to, but could be a candidate for a Joey learns eps 👍
SPOILER For those wondering why I don’t fix power supplies, I’m not confident enough to do so 😊 Maybe one day! They’re a nightmare to get into for a reason 😂
I've been working on electronic equipment since before SMPS were introduced, and once they came along they scared the living daylights out of me. I've never repaired one - even though I was given some training - because there are so many interdependencies, often very tightly packed and there's live mains on the board :-) ... not that I'm afraid of live mains on the board!
don't connect to a power if you hear a rattling sound from inside your electronics. it could be a screw or any metals that can cause a sort. just my 2c
It 10000% matters which orientation the RF jack is: that other contact is ground. They're not the same size. Flip it over on its back and you'll see that only one contact goes to the middle.
Hello Joey, Unfortunately for you, you've started a new series called "Joe Learns", so I'm afraid you don't have any excuses not to take a look inside that power supply 😝🤣 Edit: I'm 100% sure that on a live stream with chat's help it can be fixed 🙂
It would be nice if you took a look into the blown XBOX PSU, it could also be a learning opportunity. But be aware of those caps and drain them with a resistor.
Hey, at 10:15 how was he able to tell there was a short? Did he know before hand that there wasn’t supposed to be continuity to ground at that pin? Thanks!
for the ps5, could you have also just replaced the fuse before injecting, then find potential shorts there? I can see that injecting was a more efficient way but just out of curiosity could you diagnose that chip other ways?
I'm sorry your loft failed you. Great Repair, and Video! I really want to see the returned PS5 video, and (hopefully), a working Xbox Series X power supply, will repair the Series X. Good Luck. Thank you.
I have a fold 3 phone no WiFi ,I also have the replacement fllex ribboons that run through the hinge but it looks a little to complicated for me to do are you intrested ?
Seems to bee every tecnishians nono not powersupply makes me wonder if there is money to be made if one learned to fix them safely (don't have to film it if it is dangerous to average ppl)
@@paulbulow7837most people do not fix psus for a living because it's not economical and kind of dangerous and require experience and care, in this case it would make more sense than buying a broken psu and selling it working.

You often poke around to find shorts but why not inject voltage to pinpoint it? Seems much faster in other videos I watch. It's very rare that it doesn't work out from what I can see.
-- Spoiler Saver What a bummer with the Series X.. I think the Power Supply would have fixed it.. Nice fix with that PS5 but sad you had to take one back..
You've correctly deducted the profit for the playstation that was returned but you sent another playstation rather than make a refund. There should be a profit added back against the replacement playstation. It might be a different amount, depending on what you paid for the replacement but there's something to go back into the spreadsheet.
Really puzzled why you didn't use your bench PSU to provide the 12v for the Xbox as that would have at least shown whether it was just the PSU. But I do agree about not tinkered with a swtch-mode PSU - nasty things. Linear PSU is different of course.
@@haideralikhan5947 I suppose it depends on what you do :-) It's actually a dual 15v 15A supply that can operate in series or parallel (ie 15v @30A, or 30v @15A)
The antenna connector is called RP-SMA. Reverse polarity sub-miniture A. I used chatgpt to find it. So no kudos to me but as you asked. Thats the answer
After seeing your ps5 graveyard in the attic, i think it would be nice to see a Re-Visit series. See if you are able to fix now with your new found knowledge and skills, what you may have failed on before.

These antenna connectors are called IPX connector. There are various versions of them :)
Thank you :)
@@arch1107 correct me if im wrong but, sma connectors are screw in, and ipx are push fit
The specific version we see in the video are more commonly refered to as U.FL connectors but come under a variety of names depending on manufacturer

Most of the times need reballing, and he does not have BGA machine to properly solder cores.
a lot of the time the GPU die is dead, sometimes you can get lucky and its just a chip on the PCB

Can tell from the eBay listing that the label had been removed, there's a diagonal crease visible.

The antenna connector is a U.FL type also known as IPEX.
I've just called them micro-coaxial connectors, never found the need to go so specific, but I suppose there's no harm in doing so.
Thanks for the info . . 😊
Thank you :)
@@JoeyDoesTech Did you know micro-coaxial connectors are really unreliable? you can unplug and replug them about 20 times before they go bad.
Question, do you often get one of the item you sold for part because it was unfixable sold back to to you? Do you leave a mark in them to know if you already been in there?
There is an anti tamper sticker on them, I had a switch from him
GREAT question. Most of my items have a warranty sticker, so luckily I've not had any come back to me, that would be hilarious though.
Love the vids!

7:21 i thought my phone froze bcus i dropped it 😂😂😂😭😭😭
it's a good day when I wake up have tea and joey has a new episode.
Use commas 😂
Joey, I'd call the antenna plug a surface mount coaxial connector. Not sure if that is industry standard though
It's a U.FL surface mount jack. Sometimes called IPEX instead, because there's like a billion names for it.

It's a uFL connector.
Hi Joey, could you link the sally spectacular spread sheet please🙏 once again, great video, cant wait for your next live!
Episode 21, but labeled 20
Fixed thanks :D
Bob is in fact, my uncle.
Joey i think those connectors for the antenna are called "U. FL" connectors.
I came for the face welcome and stayed for the wicking
It 10000% matters which orientation the RF jack is: that other contact is ground. They're not the same size. Flip it over on its back and you'll see that only one contact goes to the middle.

uFL SMT Antenna Connector. (According to Adafruit 🙂)
Can't wait to see the new power supply haha :D
looks like you need storage shelfing in attic :)

for the ps5, could you have also just replaced the fuse before injecting, then find potential shorts there? I can see that injecting was a more efficient way but just out of curiosity could you diagnose that chip other ways?
Apparently that was a 3.3v regulator feeding from the 5v line, the problem should be clear from that as the fuse feeding it was blown
I'm sorry your loft failed you. Great Repair, and Video! I really want to see the returned PS5 video, and (hopefully), a working Xbox Series X power supply, will repair the Series X. Good Luck. Thank you.
Thanks Ajaks!
Joey send the power supply to bigclive. I could see the two of you doing some kind of collaboration.
Sending to diode gone wild would be more fun lol
I have a fold 3 phone no WiFi ,I also have the replacement fllex ribboons that run through the hinge but it looks a little to complicated for me to do are you intrested ?
Almost 100k subscribers bruvvv, you should fix something special when you hit it!~ cheeeers
U.FL connector?
Yes, as a race-drone flyer I really hate these connectors, they're awfully flimsy.
Maybe an Antenna nipple?
IPEX/IPX connector
Joey - take a look at 4:34 - now this could be your faulty parts bin but I-Spy - is that the same power supply behind you, or is it the faulty one?
Just skipped back and looks like that's the faulty one - oh well, never mind - keep up the great vids!!
This is Hirose U.FL
Hey do you remeber the nokia i tried to fix i want an part two please, and a tip if it dosent work with a new battery then its the display connectors.
I think the antenna connection is a U.FL ipx connector.
fixing game consoles / vinyl wrap for cars but on game systems for eBay, just a thought
Why not trying to fix the powersupply rather than finding a replacement?
I should have covered that in the video, I'm not keen or confident on messing with power supplies! :D
Power supplies are especially dangerous to work on and can hold enough electricity to kill a careless technician.
Seems to bee every tecnishians nono not powersupply makes me wonder if there is money to be made if one learned to fix them safely (don't have to film it if it is dangerous to average ppl)
I watch bigclive and he recently showed his new capacitor discharger tool. Use that so you dont die while working on a power supply.

Josh Joey, how do you remember where each screw goes?!? Theres soooo many of them in the ps5.
it is a wifi socket connector
Why not repair the psu? Its mostly only an optocoupler, or some caps?!
Does your insurance cover all those ps5s? 😂😂
See if you can fix the PS?
You often poke around to find shorts but why not inject voltage to pinpoint it? Seems much faster in other videos I watch. It's very rare that it doesn't work out from what I can see.
Seems I wrote a bit too quickly since you injected voltage afterwards lol
why didnt u tried to fix that PSU for xbox sX?

Why don't you repair a power supply? Can't open them or what is problem with that?
