Mick, know that we are all wishing you and your wife a speedy recovery, hope that you had a pleasant Christmas holiday and have a great new year ahead. Don't worry about making videos until you have regained your strength and feel well again. We will be here in any case. 🙂
Was hoping to see a video from you before Christmas so I could wish you and your family a Merry Christmas...so I came to this video to do it. Take Care, Bill
Cheers Bill, not sure if you caught the community post I put up about my wife being in hospital and me catching a bug while I was there. All is good now, so video should be out tomorrow 👍
Well, that was a surprise. Looking closely at about 22:00 something seemed to come off of the board. Maybe that was the remains of the resistor. Thanks, Mick. That was quite a suspenseful bit of detective work. I enjoyed it very much. Have a good Sunday.
Thanks👍 yes I think that must have been a piece of the original resistor. I thought it looked a bit odd, but wasn't sure if there had been a resistor there or not (with it being a black board and black resistors).
@@BuyitFixitI work QC in manufacturing and this is why we have a strict "any dropped part is scrap" policy. 90% chance IMO that the resistor had poor connection but was there at one point. Someone dropped that board, and instead of scrapping it they continued the assembly because "we drop things all the time and it's fine" well this is why it sometimes isn't fine to do that.
Cheers AndyMouse 👍Yes I had started recording 4 other fixes this week but they all need parts to be ordered. I was doing this one last night until 2AM time.it charged, and editing it today, reviewing and then uploading which is why it was out a bit later than usual 🙂
What a guy, well done Mick excellent troubleshooting again I would of thought there’d had been blown part in the case unless it vaporised? Keep em coming Mick 😊
@semiRockethr I do still have my tri-nocular which I was using (but via camera) couldn't really get away with it when looking down through the eye pieces.
Awesome fix, you seemed to be getting somewhat frustrated after awhile, but with patience and perseverance you prevailed. Great video, thank you for sharing! I see you have a busted up knuckle, have you been fighting with the sheep in the pasture. LOL Paul, USA!!!
Thanks Paul 👍Yes busted my knuckle a bit, I've been also rebuilding the hydraulic transmission on our RTV900 utility vehicle. It was in 100 bits all over the shed floor with the rear axle off. I've nearly got it all back together now.. I'll probably do a video on the rebuild as I had a few people asking about could I do some more mechanical repairs, and I don't think you can get more mechanical than that! 😂😂😂 I've also been replacing the rear tipping bed as it was all rotten, so got some steel plate and removed the old one, welded a new one in place. Replaced a drive shaft, wheel bearings, and sorted out the brakes too 👍 Hence having a pretty busy week, then trying to fix something for a video, and 4 other items I started recording all needed parts ordered!
@BuyitFixit Please keep up the great videos, I've learned so much from them. I have always told people I work with the greatest gift you can give some one is your knowledge, and you my friend are a Saint.
This was as always, an incredible "class", thank you Mick! Also for future reference and maybe helping others, some of these portable consoles have open source boards and perhaps easy to find the component values. (I'm looking forward to buy a R36S =] )
Thanks 👍I think I looked at one of those possibly. Unfortunately there seems to be no schematics for this model as I did have a quick look, but only found a couple of reddit posts asking for them.
I found that rg35xx simply doesn't like any charger with fast charging, as soon as I plug in with Samsung simple non fast charging wall plug everyone always gets em charging AND must be usb A to usb C cable no usb c to usb c cables
This is a common mistake with devices that use a USB-C connection for charging. Either device could send power to the other, so you need a way to indicate that the device wants to receive 5V power. This is done by trying reach of the two CC pins to ground using a 5.1K ohm resistor. No resistor means no power gets sent. I have several devices (including an Anbernic RG350M) that I want to open up and see if I can retrofit these resistors, so that I can charge them with any USB-C charger.
@BuyitFixit MERRY CHRISTMAS MICK AND ALL YOIR END. LOVING YOU, AND YOUR CONTENT, LOADS. Many Thanks Wayne, Nina & Barbara 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎄🎄🎄🎄⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️
Looking back along the video you can see where the resistor was where the square ends indicate a component and if that is a critical gate switching feed then the whole device is just going to sit there doing nothing.
Cheers Mike 👍Had a bit of a nightmare this week, as I've looked at about 5 other items, but they all ended up needing parts, and one I'm not sure if I can fix it or not so it may well end up being a fail (hopefully it won't be if I can get another to compare with).
Well done, possibly a gate or base drive resistor. Probably an illusion, but the USBC port did look corroded. I've asked Santa to send you a sponge (22:35).
I'm sure the one I had came with a short usb lead which would charge but a standard lead wouldn't.. I've noticed a few Chinese devices have dedicated usb which is a bit non standard
Thanks, I've not really come across that before, but a quick search suggests it's a ferrite BeaD which usually measure pretty much short circuit and are used to suppress or filter high frequency noise usually.
After reading this I had to go see if there was a video on what actually happens at the end.. and it was slightly disappointing.. "Congratulation This story is happy end" 😂😂
At 10:17 of the video I was asking myself why do you not look at the USB-C port right away? I don't know if that will be the problem, but it loks like crap to me? Cheers!
@@BuyitFixit Just want to say how much I appreciate your videos and your responses through the year. I really wish you and your family and animals, a wonderful Christmas and a joyus New Year. Stay safe Bro! Frank from Canada.
Thank you 🙂👍Yes even watching back my own video I understand it a little more myself now. Those two mosfets go to the main power rail so it can switch battery or wall to power up the system. I made a slight error not understanding that at the time 😂😂
. . .Did the maker purposely fit unmarked resistors to that unit precisely to discourage anyone from repairing a fault like this? . . .I've just drawn out part of an ABB board with a lot of "0603" size resistors on it and all the resistors on the board I had had clearly visible, altho' tiny, numbers on them indicating their value!
I've came across a few boards like this now, where all of the resistors are just black little squares. I think it's pretty standard on phones. I thought it was because the resistors are too small to have values on them.
@BuyitFixit May we all our end wish you A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Warmest Regards To Mick And Family. From Wayne, Nina And Family. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
I had a similar one before , could not fix or figure out why it would not charge.Installed a barrel jack and charge controller for the battery and gave him a few usb to dc jacks on the end. I wish I'd actually gone through it like that now but in store it's hard to dedicate time to one device that I can't honestly charge much to fix.
Yes, as a work around a charge controller would have worked too. I've got a few of those USB-C charge controllers, they were only pennies if I remember.
@@BuyitFixit Haha, same here. The amount of bluetooth speakers I've fixed for people with them. And when I can I sneak in better cells and more of them for free, have hundreds of 18650's about.
Nice fix. I think maybe that the previous owner managed to short that resistor by aggressive input of the usb C connector . My mates wife does it all the time with her Gorilla fingers and Bingo Wings arms .
😂😂😂Could be, but it looked more like the solder was heated up and oxidized where the resistor went so that's why I think too high a voltage or something was applied.
Unfortunately the cost of postage from the US to UK and back is probably more than a replacement item. What I'd suggest is perhaps looking for a "repair cafe" in your area. I volunteer at one in the UK, and I know they have them in the US too. There is a map with all of the locations on it, hopefully there is one near you. www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
My charger port is over heating on mine I have not idea what is causing that or if I need a new port. Also do you know what brand/type of port that is I know its a USB-C port but I’m asking more of the make and model. Thank you.
Hmmm, I'd check the cable you are using first as it could be the cable. Are you using an USB A>C cable? After ruling that out, if it does need a port I just did a search on ebay for RG35XX charging port and this came up : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134972315019
I'm not sure how they implemented it on this device, but there's a few devices where you can only use a USB A to C cable to charge them. I think this one f Is the same.
@@BuyitFixit The adapters have the resistors internally I believe part of the polarity protection too hackaday website has an interesting article however I cant post the link
@@japanskakaratemuva5309 Nice one, yes I quite like it, it does the job really well and it's got a nice clear screen. It was the AF feature that's the main thing for me too 👍
Really common with these that people plug in high power fast chargers and kill them dead. I own three Anbernic devices and I'm a member of the owners forum over on facebook, it's a topic that's comes up an awful lot.
Interesting👍I had a feeling that it could have been the case with this one. I had similar with a R36S console a while back where the charging chip was fried.
Well that's a problem with the device not the chargers most likely. Fats chargers don't just out out high voltage/amperage for fun, they have set amounts they can output based on what a device requests, so device is shit
I did try and back it up, but it was huge and would take me ages to upload it (due to being rural and not having high speed upload). I did find this which may help you though.. www.rg35xx.com/en/bios-roms-ports-2/bios-roms/
Never underestimate the value in a different perspective on the board. Especially with single fix point camera view. Inspect from all sides and angles. On a binocular it's a bit easier as it's more of a 3d view without tilting.
Having issues commenting on videos Mick. I wondered if that resistor was missing or had exploded, the pads did look somewhat strange to me as well. Yeah, no capacitor this time, weird. Great fix and I'll have to watch this one again. I may have missed some of the diagnosis. Thanks for the video, well done.
Cheers mate, yes I noticed that the solder on the pads looked slightly discoloured so I think a high power charger got plugged into it and heated up the resistor and it might have fallen off in the process. That's my theory anyway.
Yes I just saw something about that, and some copyright over that amp company, wtf. No lambs this year for xmas. The two little Valais girls last year under the tree were around two weeks premature. Unfortunately we lost one of them a few weeks ago "litte legs" we called her. She was tiny still 😥 very cute and followed you around like a puppy. My wife found her dead in the field.. We were both pretty much heartbroken. We've bred them later this time, so they'll be due around March / April time (next year).
Being a watchmaker I am used to small things but one of my ecigs a Voopoo Drag X Plus Pro, tested my resolve somewhat with very tiny screws and the thinnest of wires, hampered by an OLED screen in the way of many things in the end I snipped the loose wire and soldered it in place then soldered a bridge piece with heatshrinks then I had to carefully delete the vacuum differential sender from the top deck to the main board and by this time I took no prisoners and simple flush cuttered the wiring then a dab of liquid insulation tape over the motherboard end and then hour battle to get it all back into place and job was thankfully done... Device was brand new but Voopoo were saying send it to us and we will send you a new one so six weeks on the slow boat to China then six weeks back on the slow boat to China so it was a make it or break it decision lol Lucky too this issue is well documented so one of my mates pointed out that the replacement would very likely in its first week start to brew itself up because the vacuum sender jams itself into the "on" position and the thing goes haywire in your pocket... not good.

Unfortunately we lost one of them a few weeks ago "litte legs" we called her. She was tiny still 😥 very cute and followed you around like a puppy. My wife found her dead in the field.. We were both pretty much heartbroken.
We've bred them later this time, so they'll be due around March / April time (next year).
Being a watchmaker I am used to small things but one of my ecigs a Voopoo Drag X Plus Pro, tested my resolve somewhat with very tiny screws and the thinnest of wires, hampered by an OLED screen in the way of many things in the end I snipped the loose wire and soldered it in place then soldered a bridge piece with heatshrinks then I had to carefully delete the vacuum differential sender from the top deck to the main board and by this time I took no prisoners and simple flush cuttered the wiring then a dab of liquid insulation tape over the motherboard end and then hour battle to get it all back into place and job was thankfully done... Device was brand new but Voopoo were saying send it to us and we will send you a new one so six weeks on the slow boat to China then six weeks back on the slow boat to China so it was a make it or break it decision lol Lucky too this issue is well documented so one of my mates pointed out that the replacement would very likely in its first week start to brew itself up because the vacuum sender jams itself into the "on" position and the thing goes haywire in your pocket... not good.
Damn, yes you wouldn't want that going up in your pocket. Just goes to show the quality of some of the Chineseum products out there..
It was hard for you to open that console because you didn't rap 😊

I fluxed off all day myself.
😂😂😂👍
bit late to the party; that resistor is in fact, a 1k.
Better late than never! Thank you for sharing👍
You can do laptops all day long. I love watching laptop fixes........ You are extremely skilled. Here this is the guy i watch. Just wish you would consider doing something like this. Fix kaptop and resell them. th-cam.com/video/d2ptpRKmGAk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Jason. I've not really looked at laptops much. So might have a go at one 👍
@@BuyitFixit Doing laptops is no different than what you just fixed. WITHOUT a guide...
ok
It was fairly obvious it was missing…not a good advert for that camera. I was shouting at the screen……
Either that or my eyes 😂😂Sometimes it's easier to spot things when you're watching back, but when you're recording, thinking, and trying to keep the conversation going at the same time it's quite easy to miss things..
@BuyitFixit very true.
Faulty. Anbernic. RG35XX. Hand. Held. Console. Can. I. Fix. it
The upgraded RG35XX Plus is only £38 including delivery. Wait until the Chinese New Year sale and it will be even less. IMHO you overpaid. All the best.
... very interesting video though!
Thanks 👍yes probably overpaid as you said, but because I buy broken things to fix on TH-cam it's still worth it to me 🙂
Awesome reverse engineering. over complicated charging circuitry.
Thanks mate 👍
