Cancer survivor here. Yesterday made one year and 7 months I have been cancer free. You can and will beat it Steve. God bless you and your family. And ty for the awesome videos.
From Mexico 🇲🇽 ¡Gracias! Wish you the best and pray for you to get better. You are the reason i started to repair my consoles and loose the fear of messing up by learning soldering as a personal achievement. Thank you so much for your videos! ❤
@@saint4985 Yeah I still can't fix a single thing but hes so effortlessly engaging I find it incredibly interesting all the same lol.. Great guy it seems
His videos are increadibly well edited, his voice is expressive, and he explains the work that's being done great. I've learned quite a bit from this channel
You're Incredible!! Going through cancer treatment, and Still providing Excellent content. Great Repair and Video. Good luck, and I wish you a Speedy Recovery!
I had no idea you was fighting the ultimate battle bro. My prayers will be with you. Always keep a positive mindset trust me that goes long way. My brother fought the battle and won 🏆 💪 I know you will too. Keep doing what you love to keep you busy and your viewers will always be with you every step of the way.
I can’t stand to look at my favorite TH-camr in this condition. I really hope you feel better and what’s crazy is my math teacher is a huge fan as well and we are rooting that you get better as soon as possible. Theirs no console you can’t fix meaning theirs nothing about you that can’t be fixed❤
No, phil aka "the cod3r" can fix anything. Steve has sent some boards to him over in the uk to work on because steve doesnt do any reballing of bga chips.
My son recently started a channel and began creating some videos, then a few weeks later was diagnosed with cancer. As expected it shattered his world and he lost his motivation to create. I showed him your latest videos and it's given him hope that theres still a path and a place for him. Keep up the fight and know you're inspiring the next generation of creators. ❤
Made it look easy, the zoomed in view doesn't show how tiny everything is. If I could leave a suggestion before putting the console back together I would've showed a zoomed out view of the repair area. Great vid as usual anyway
Right?!?! I watch this channel and TheCod3r. Both he (Phil) and Steve make these repairs look deceptively easy. They are not. The view we see is under a microscope at several x zoom. I'm guessing 20..maybe 40X. Those caps and resistors are like a grain of rice. Haha!
@@SirHeadly84 Heck, a grain of rice is roughly 3 or 4 times larger than some of those caps and resistors. They really are tiny! I've done a little hobbyist stuff, and I wish they were as large as a grain of rice. Hahaha.
You and Louis have been an inspiration to me for repair. Y’all are some of the only people I consistently watch because you make the best content. That is to say you’re part of the greats man and it’s crazy you’re putting out videos through this. I hope you beat the crap out of your condition, not just for the content you provide, but for the person you are and the mind you bring to the community.
Hope you are doing well. It's these types of videos on why I enjoy soldering so much. Something someone would scrap can be brought back from the brink to working order. A wonderful thing!!!
I repaired several things thanks to you, with the cheapest tools available (aliexpress soldering iron and things like that) Honestly thanks for making videos I always learn something off of them
The only time I've seen it happen has been with the Xbox series versions once they get a tad over worked instead of just breaking they completely lift and move freely
I have, but not to that extreme. I repaired a commodore 64. It had 1 bad memory chip. I replaced all 8 of them because they were a crappy brand. No issues, but my homemade power supply didn't have a thick enough cable. I didn't know that at the time and once I added accessories it dropped down to 3.5v. I have no idea how a 5v computer worked at 3.5v, but it did...mostly. Just color glitches. I couldn't find the issue because without the accessories it was running at 4.5v (which is low, but well within spec). So I replaced the PLA. No change. I replaced the color ram........OOPS! I lifted a trace. Repaired my issue......no change. Eventually found out that the voltage was dropping with accessories. Replaced the cable, worked fine.......until my cartridge disk emulator wouldn't work anymore. I had been using de-oxit. The card connector was covered in green slime. lol Apparently the port was completely corroded. It's a wonder it worked at all. I couldn't fix it so I had to replace it. I have no idea how many pins that is, but it's a lot. I lifted a trace on that one too. That one the trace didn't rip so it's not attached completely to the board, but it works. The color ram trace ripped. I had to bodge that one (like you see here). So my working C64 has 1 missing trace and 2 loose trace. If I were to do it again, I'd get low melt solder. I suspect it would make repairs easier. Also proper flux. And I wouldn't have looked at that inadequate cable and said, sure why not. I used it because I didn't want to have to solder 4 wires in a din connector. I think it was a 7 pin MIDI cable. Fortunately I found someone that sold me a higher quality cable with the plug already on it. If I had an original power supply I would have cut off and re-used the cables on that. But I didn't. (the original PSU will brick all the chips on the board eventually)
I usually don’t comment on videos but I wish you the best of luck in your journey to recovery. I’m sure you see or hear it a thousand times but you’re the entire reason I had the confidence to start repairs, I’ve learned so much from you over the years! Thank you for everything! Take care! :)
We really really really appreciate you. Thank you for still doing these videos while you’re going through. What you’re going through we really appreciate it.
Hey stevie, im 24 and have had hodgekins lymphoma for almost a year now. I was cancer free last year september but a month later it came back. It always gets better. Stay strong brother ❤️
Since 2020, I have been watching your videos and I just simply love the way you show people how to fix or how you fix gaming stuff. I have total mad respect for you. We can beat this fight and may God be with you my friend.
Holy moly...Listen man, you better come through. Who else am I gonna watch to inspire me? I just started restoring old console because of you. Please, get better man. ^^
My first thought was “how in the hell did someone mess this repair up that bad” but my second was “that’s cocky coming from someone who’s never tried” Nice job on this repair!
I mean, you can kiss a mirror for years, won't prepare you for the real thing. Sometimes, you just gotta go for it, when there is something on the line.
That's what I'm waiting for to learn lol. My niece has an Xbox one S that I'm hoping she'll give to me when it eventually breaks so I can learn how to solder.
I have been a big fan of your channel for a few years now and I wanted to tell you I am praying for you and I know that you will get better soon. Sir we love you and you have became a part of a huge family
Sending positive vibes your way! I know its not easy going through your treatment, but thanks for bringing us content, and know you have people that care about you.
I don’t comment at all, but I wanted to let you know that you are appreciated and the videos you put out are not only educational but entertaining as well. I’ve been watching you for years, to see your technique but also to see your joy in repairing these electronics. Thank you for the passion you show in your videos. I know you can beat this.
Been watching you several years. Always been admirer of the way you operate. Also great for you to continue your work and keep us a part of your cancer journey. We all support you all the way! Absolutely top bloke.
Yah, that's a dad trying to be the hero but things went sideways. Given what you're going through, happy to see you're still working and righting some repair wrongs. Quarters as heat sinks for precision soldering is something new I'm gonna have to try in a pinch.
I know your videos aren't about teaching us how to solder but I really do want to thank you Steve, I accidentally tore off the CMOS battery holdar trying to remove the battery which was also taped down for some reason, in tearing off the connector the ground pad came of with it 🙄 but watching your videos I managed to route it to another ground pad, and surprisingly it still works.
It's hard to appreciate how intricate some of these jobs are unless you've done something similar.. Just last weekend, I took apart a controller to clean it for use with my girlfriend's Series S. Both vibration motors came loose entirely, as well as 4 other wires on one of the boards.. Had to go to Lowe's around 830pm to get a soldering iron (pen torch style, in this case,) in order to fix the controller so we could continue playing the Borderlands series together.. It's crazy how small things are in electronics these days, but it's easy to see how frustrating the process can get in a HURRY! It's still going strong, but I've repaired 360's and some iPhone 5-8's before. I appreciate all the people who put the time and effort into fixing small electronics, keep up the good work and kick that Lymphoma's ass, Steve!
I've been watching your videos years ago probably 4 years or more. Maybe I don't comment much but I enjoyed every single minute of it. When I saw the thumbnail my heart ached I hoped that it was a new look or hereditary hair loss, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I wish you a speedy recovery please stay strong and resilient as you always do when trying to fix a console and bring it back from the brink of death! We love you Steve
I'm not usually one to express my feelings openly, but this time I'll make an exception. When I see you, I'm reminded of my father. He was a man who loved fixing things himself, and he always took the time to teach me new skills that I still use to this day. He was also a brave cancer warrior, but unfortunately, I lost him three months ago. I wish you a speedy recovery. Don't give up the fight. My prayers are with you.
On one side, in happy that a viewer gave an honest try at repairing their device instead of throwing it away. It means your videos made a positive impact! On the other hand, holy guacamole! That's a lot of ripped off traces!
I wish you the best bro. I’m passionate by your content for a long time now. In my foreign country We says god tests those He love. strength and honor.
I just wanted to say that because of you I picked up a multimeter, a soldering iron and started to fix my things instead of buying new ones. You helped me fix my Xbox controller, some kitchen appliances even though they’re completely different from consoles, but the electronics follow the same principles. I REALLY wish you well and a full recovery. Cheers from Brazil, mate! We’re all with you sending good vibes!
Hi! Super curious how did all the traces come off? Was it all at once? I recently removed my first pad changing the screen on my Sega Nomad, so I know how easy it can be lol.
Your videos have given me so much courage to try and repair things myself and has since turned into a hobby and hopefully a career one day. Wishing you the best, steve.
Holy cow. that must have been a timeconsuming repair. But I am happy that the dad tried to repair it himself and made the actual call to get a professional involved. Not to sound any bad, but it could have been worse, so thats, why it was a good call to get a professional involved.
Little by little I am getting more interested in soldering. I swap JoyCon shells for my Switch but now I want to take it to the next level. Seeing your countless videos repairing various boards really got me invested. Got my 1st soldering kit recently & i have a board from a JoyCon that had a piece break off that connects to the L trigger. Maybe I should start with this as my 1st project.
My first thought was, "Does he have cancer?" then I read the comments, I am really sorry for this man I love your content and wish you a speedy recovery F! Cancer.
You have a community all over the world! I am from Brazil and I have many friends who love your videos. You are unique and you are just going through a phase that will soon come to an end.
Greetings from germany, get well soon and I wish you the best ♥ You are the cause, that I repair digital devices and found fun on that. I got a new hobby, a smile on my face, when I repair devices, just because of you.
Hello Steve i just wanted to say that I’ve been watching your videos since i was about 12 and I’m 15 now, you’ve honestly inspired me to start repairing electronics and ive also fixed a few xboxs before (even though i only know how to repair a hdmi port and have no idea how to fix anything else lol) i also wanted to say that i hope your treatment goes well and just know that you WILL beat that cancer
You are my hero Steve! I've been watching your vids since 2020 and I've always wanted to do what you do. Fast forward to 4 years I have now put up a small repair shop for electronics! Thank you steve! I wish you the best man! Praying for your speedy recovery!
This channel gave me the confidence that I can solder. Bought myself an "aiit" station and all the bells and whistles and so far so good. Had some speakers that would have thrown away that I just fixed within an hour. I would've never thought I'd be doing those kinds of repairs without hours of watching your content.
I’ve been battling stage 4 terminal stomach cancer for over a year and a half now. Your videos have helped pass the time and take my mind of chemo treatments, surgery recoveries, and so many hours stuck in bed. Thank you for that! I wish I could do something in return for you on your journey, but I’ll just add my words of encouragement to everyone else’s and let you know that I get it. It is HARD beyond what I ever could have understood. Keep at it and hope all the treatment works and the side effects are minimal.
Man, your channel and repairs are more suspenseful than anything I could watch on TV or at the theater. Will it work? Are we screwed? My heart rate actually increases throughout your videos. Loved the quarter trick!
Hey my dude, I'm Julian, from Argentina. I've been watching your videos for a while now. Just one thing, my mom went through this and won, your will have good and bad days but always try to stay positive. My best wishest and energy for you. You will win too, we need more videos. Love from the south.
Thanks man for the countless helpful guide videos on repair thus far. Just found out about your chemo. We guided my mother through her's back in 2016. Most important here, take your time. One's health always goes first. Mutch love and support from Germany, we wish you the best from over here.
I have been watching your videos for a long time, you never cease to amaze me with your presence and the great quality you provide when it comes to entertainment and informative repair guides, keep up the good work. Thank you very much for everything, Steve, hope your treatment goes well. :)
I'm a caregiver for my wife, who beat cancer a couple of years ago. We're rooting for you!
Thank you!

Seeing a channel that needs zero gimmicks or tricks to keep someone watching is amazing
They don't even have click bait titles, their content is so good you're just forced to come and watch. Wish we had more TH-cam channels like this.

So tough to see you like this man, been watching you for like 6 years since before college, I wish you a speedy recovery, youre an awesome person
Same. Literally hurts to see this. This is the beautiful part of the internet. Shows humanity does still exist. Praying he can pull through
I'm glad he's still making videos though. He needs that normalcy in his life to keep the fight going strong!

@@joper90 If I had to guess, they were probably pulling on it and it suddenly let go, and then the momentum is what pulled the traces up

Your skill at retracing damaged,missing,or broken wires is impressive. I love watching the series s repairs in particular.
Practicing on non-repairable devices is a better idea when first learning to solder. At least he was brave enough to give it a try.

Wishing you the best, steve.
Hey Steve. What grinding tool are you using at 9:33? You did a nice job repairing the hdmi port
Just a generic grinding pen. I don't have an affiliate link for it yet but if you search on Amazon you'll see lots of them.
Holy cow. that must have been a timeconsuming repair. But I am happy that the dad tried to repair it himself and made the actual call to get a professional involved. Not to sound any bad, but it could have been worse, so thats, why it was a good call to get a professional involved.
Hey are you ok man?
Define "OK", lol. I have lymphoma and am in the middle of treatments for it.
he has Non-Hodgkin lymphoma ,you can see his post n the comunity page
He is going through Chemo Therapy for Cancer. He made a video about that, but his videos are quality as ever!
He got diagnosed with lymphoma and has been going through chemo. Seems to be doing okay
Get better for you man! Almost every day i watch your video. You really good guy and we all with you. All Viewers and all Subscribers❤
Little by little I am getting more interested in soldering. I swap JoyCon shells for my Switch but now I want to take it to the next level. Seeing your countless videos repairing various boards really got me invested. Got my 1st soldering kit recently & i have a board from a JoyCon that had a piece break off that connects to the L trigger. Maybe I should start with this as my 1st project.
Cancer supporter positive vibes and mind
Stay strong my friend. We are all rooting for you! Wish you the best.

My first thought was, "Does he have cancer?" then I read the comments, I am really sorry for this man I love your content and wish you a speedy recovery F! Cancer.
You have a community all over the world! I am from Brazil and I have many friends who love your videos. You are unique and you are just going through a phase that will soon come to an end.
Greetings from germany, get well soon and I wish you the best ♥
You are the cause, that I repair digital devices and found fun on that.
I got a new hobby, a smile on my face, when I repair devices, just because of you.
Thank you for everything you do brother. Wishing you the best of luck with your cancer recovery.
Hello Steve i just wanted to say that I’ve been watching your videos since i was about 12 and I’m 15 now, you’ve honestly inspired me to start repairing electronics and ive also fixed a few xboxs before (even though i only know how to repair a hdmi port and have no idea how to fix anything else lol) i also wanted to say that i hope your treatment goes well and just know that you WILL beat that cancer
You are my hero Steve! I've been watching your vids since 2020 and I've always wanted to do what you do. Fast forward to 4 years I have now put up a small repair shop for electronics! Thank you steve! I wish you the best man! Praying for your speedy recovery!
Praying for you and your family. Stay strong and positive. Thank you for all of your wonderful content over the years. Godspeed.
Stay strong Steves. The Doctors will fix you! Like you show us with your videos almost everything can be fix and they have always hope.
blessing brother. you will beat this! I'm rooting for you too.
This channel gave me the confidence that I can solder. Bought myself an "aiit" station and all the bells and whistles and so far so good. Had some speakers that would have thrown away that I just fixed within an hour. I would've never thought I'd be doing those kinds of repairs without hours of watching your content.
I’ve been battling stage 4 terminal stomach cancer for over a year and a half now. Your videos have helped pass the time and take my mind of chemo treatments, surgery recoveries, and so many hours stuck in bed. Thank you for that! I wish I could do something in return for you on your journey, but I’ll just add my words of encouragement to everyone else’s and let you know that I get it. It is HARD beyond what I ever could have understood. Keep at it and hope all the treatment works and the side effects are minimal.
Man, your channel and repairs are more suspenseful than anything I could watch on TV or at the theater. Will it work? Are we screwed? My heart rate actually increases throughout your videos. Loved the quarter trick!
Hey my dude, I'm Julian, from Argentina. I've been watching your videos for a while now.
Just one thing, my mom went through this and won, your will have good and bad days but always try to stay positive. My best wishest and energy for you. You will win too, we need more videos. Love from the south.
Thanks!
Thank you too!
You busted me! I was thinking "there's no way this is getting fixed! " 😂
Great repair! I hope you're doing well! Rooting for you man!
My dad recently had cancer and he's just finished chemo, doing ok now :). Wishing you a speedy recovery Steve! Great vid as always
Praying for you Steve! Speedy recovery to you my friend. 🥃
Thanks man for the countless helpful guide videos on repair thus far. Just found out about your chemo. We guided my mother through her's back in 2016. Most important here, take your time. One's health always goes first. Mutch love and support from Germany, we wish you the best from over here.
I have been watching your videos for a long time, you never cease to amaze me with your presence and the great quality you provide when it comes to entertainment and informative repair guides, keep up the good work. Thank you very much for everything, Steve, hope your treatment goes well. :)
