Trying to Save a FLOODED Mtn Dew Xbox - This Mountain Dew original Xbox was very liquid damaged, which Robert on the Restorish channel spent a bunch of time cleaning before giving to me to fix. The first step will be to replace all the bulging capacitors, then we can see what else might be causing issues.

See what this console looked like before I got it. It was BAD! th-cam.com/video/a93F-EEw6HM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DYmgUMFJnN1oLS8b
Oh, and I forgot about the controller port in the video but I just had to clean out some gunk that was in it and then it worked fine.
@ Tronicsfix you should go ahead and replace all the resisters because a lot them look pretty bad as well and can cause issues with certain things working
lol I was about to leave a comment about the port. Nice work!
I watched the second half 3 times thinking I somehow kept missing the controller port repair lol🤣.
@@kostys550gt2 Lol, sorry about that.
@@billyjackson5799 Replace all the resistors? That would take days...there are hundreds of them...and they don't cause problems like the caps do. Most of the time the resistors on these don't cause any issues. Most of the time smd components on these don't cause problems...even the smd capacitors usually don't have issues.
I’m an engineer myself, I service and repair, medical imaging equipment, MRI, ultrasound etc. thirty-years now, in any case, I just wanted to tell you that you have been an inspiration to me, you have even, unbeknownst to you, guided me, or given me ideas on where to go when working on my equipment, never let it be said, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!! Thank you so much for what you do, hang in there!!!
Hey there fellow Biomed! Exact same boat as you but about half your experience. This channel gave me inspiration to try much more advanced fixes at work and personal stuff like retro consoles.
He never fixes anything just puts donor parts in, lame. He didn’t fix the disc drive he just replaced it. He is going to run out of replacements. This is why he can’t fix laptops, or anything but xboxs, ps4 and ps5s and switches .. he is bad at his job
@@user-tk2hl4fz2l You seem to not have a fundamental understanding of repair work, especially of older equipment. You also don't seem to watch very often. Half of Tronics vids are him doing component level repair under a microscope... Steve is not an engineer, you won't see him doing proper laptop repair because that requires almost manufacturer specific knowledge and experience.
I have done component level repair on everything from patient beds up to a 32 slice CT machine. 90% of my job is simply replacing whole assemblies or boards because it's either impossible to identify or source individual components, and this is on current tech. Older tech can be even harder depending on what it is.
@@LPcrazy_88 oh… I see
Don’t tell your background challenge level impossible
I'm so sorry, I didn't know you had cancer. My mom just had breast cancer. You are going to kick its ass. You're amazing, and your videos brighten my day. The world is a much better place with you in it.
Bro stop talking about it. Stop pushing his illness down his throat. He knows
@@snowman2834 shut your mouth
@@snowman2834shut up
@@snowman2834 don’t speak for him. You aren’t him.
Blah….l when my dad was battling cancer that’s all my family would talk about….. and when my dad would call me it was never a conversation…. My dad didn’t want to be reminded he was dying….. nobody battling cancer wants to have it thrown at them 24/7… just saying.
You are incredibly strong for continuing to work hard with what you're going through. I only wish the best, and great video as always
Lets not make it about the illness every video
@@MrBud85 Believe it or not, people actually care about his health. What's the problem with acknowledging it?
Dude he’s TronicsFix he just rocked up to hospital and went “here we have a cancer let’s see if we can fix it”.
@Darth_Sidious_66 that every video 70% of the comments are about it. It's overkill buddy. Why not give it a break for 2 weeks and not let it define him.
@@Darth_Sidious_66 hes an influencer on the internet. Imagine how many comments he gets per day. Compare that to a person who doesn't have internet / celebrity presence . Treat him like a human being with the empathy and compassion that he deserves. Meaning that we and he knows about his condition so theres no need to point it out...
One of the biggest fallacies we make is to shower people with best wishes instead of leaving them alone.
I was glad to see your update that you were in complete remission. As a survivor of non-Hodgkins Lymphoma myself, I know how difficult those last couple of treatments were. But that just makes it all the more satisfying when you get to ring the bell signaling you've finished your treatments. Hope you have a smooth recovery. :)
steve hope all is going good for you and your family. impressive on how your still working knowing what your going thru. stay strong buddy
I saw his looks, is there anything I am missing? Please tell me quickly
@@khidar_goat9872 he is fighting cancer an going through chemotherapy at the moment
Did you manage to repair controller port 1? Great video btw, its tedious to replace all capacitors!
Yes! It had some gunk in it and worked after cleaning it out.
@@Tronicsfix awesome!
Thanks for asking this, because I too was wondering.
I was checking the comments about this too since he didn’t mention what happened with it, but I did notice when he was testing the disc drive the controller was plugged back into port one so I knew he fixed it just didn’t know how.
I've been subbed for so long. And I don't wanna be like everyone else cuz I know how overwhelming it could be. I have social anxiety and can barely leave my house. You have been a inspiration to me thru my TH-cam and Tronicsfixing journey. I've learned so much with the position I'm in. I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Your my hero 😢
I have CRIPPLING social anxiety. I don't leave the house to often either.. I echo your post to 100%
I remember commenting on Robert’s video about this Xbox, that colour way has stuck with me and i don’t imagine this was released in the uk seeing Mountain Dew isn’t big here but seeing this work and saved is a blessing and would look fantastic in anyone’s collection
I can only imagine the headache you go through cleaning these things... The dust alone would kill me
hope you're doing alright bro, bro
I'd really like to see a long version of this one. The soldering sounds are relaxing.
Complete resurrection. Wonderful work from both of you! Going to watch the deep-clean video now.
I would have condemned that board on looks alone! That was a lot of rust, must have been wet for weeks.
a beautiful console. I hope you are recovering my friend. Hugs from a Brazilian fan.
I am recovering. Slowly getting some energy back.
Mad respect to you for still doing what you (hopefully) like, repairing stuff while you are/where in treatment and those sessions can be quite overwhelming! We wish you so much luck and that you hopefully recovery to fully normal as quick as possible! Cancer is not fun...
Got my "Fix' for Friday. Have a great day!
What a restoration of this thing 👏 Amazing
I was a bit disappointed that you didn't try replacing the eject button, and replaced the whole button board. Would have liked to have seen that button torn open and see inside it.
Hey steve i hope your treatment is going well. I hope you will keep us updated on your recovery process maybe on the community tab or something. I love your videos and admire your strength to push through and keep going. I wish you all the best.
Wow, it's crazy how quick things happen huh? I am glad to hear that you are in remission ! You are the person who got me into working on my own consoles. It's fun, and it's rewarding. Love from colorado ❤️
I watched you 2-3 years before. After that to be honest i watched you but not as often as before because of work etc. I was shocked when i learned about your health condition. I wish and hope for the best for you and your family. Respect for your consistent work even this time. We are with you! Support from Greece!
i been watching your videos for a while, just wanna say that you will be the only one fixing consoles and cancer at the same time, love your videos i even use your videos to sleep some times lol
Bro I just came back to your channel, didn't know you're going through a tough battle. You inspired me to fix my own stuff (until I give up and send for repair). Keep up the good work man
What’s happened.. this guy has helped me fix a lot of stuff.. 😊
Great repair! All those caps did need replacing! It was really cool to see this Xbox come back to life!
As always, great repair video with success. Keep up the good work and as promised I am still praying for your healing and recovery. Have a blessed day
Hey man!, I hope you're feeling better and make a swift recovery. Sorry that something like this had to happen to you, but just like everyone else is saying in the comments you've been a Big inspiration to a lot of people and the fact that you're still continuing to do what you do while going through this is amazing. Keep doing you man
Back in the day when I took electronics in college (over 35 years go) We had not only the braided disordering wick, but also a spring loaded syringe. You would press the plunger down against a spring and it would lock in place. Then you pushed a trigger and it would pop the plunger out fast and suck the solder into the syringe fast. The tip was metal and it worked pretty good. I liked using it better than the braided stuff.
Man I would have thrown that in an ultrasonic cleaner for an hour first.
You are the best on youtube when it comes to electronics repair in my books. My wife about kills me when she hears me watching your videos lol. She starts hollering about me saying don't you be in there buying more game consoles! Anyways love your videos and I hope you are doing better. Stay strong and keep doing what you love!
It's good to see you work on it. Keep up the good work
I personally rarely watch your videos or any like these for that matter, but i heard you are getting treatments and i seriously wish you the best and all success in your recovery!
I'm following your videos almost 10 years even i have 0 electronics repairing skill but always enjoy your contents. God bless you❤
Thanks for showing the actual removal an install of the caps. 😉
Shoutout to putting those pinouts for power on screen while you use the multi meter. So useful. Your videos havent skipped a beat while you have been sick, great work
I hope the treatment is going well! Thanks for continuing to upload videos!
Yay! X-box video. I already watch rob's video. So...i know his pain. And now, i know steve's pain. Impressive job as always.
Stay strong Steve! Wish you all the health. You will recover.
Your voice is so relaxing and so is the content of the videos! Beautiful!!
So glad you enjoy these!
I remember this one. Someone stored it in salt water to protect it from air
Ha, ha...sure looks like it!
Store it in oil. There is transformer oil, it does not conduct electricity, keeps air out and protects from rust. No salt water, only pure oil.
I saw it on ShopGoodwill. The closing bid Was $500...crazy.
@@vertecies But then how would you get the oil out when you wanted to use the console again... my skin is crawling just thinking about it
@@mysticaxolotl8215 Clean it with ISO
Hope all is well man. This console has had a hell of a journey! I'm glad you were able to get it working!
Thanks for the video Steve. Hope you're proceeding well in your treatment and recovery.
This was fun! Way to stick with it. Your diagnostic knowledge and repair skills are incredible.
Another great repair! I love watching and I find that I learn little things and ways of doing stuff I do differently. I am so happy that your treatments are going well!! Hope you recover well and are getting rest when you can1
Talented and strong dude! Never forget it! Impressive!
I can't believe you are sick💔 Haven't watched your videos in a while so i was shocked! I wish you all the best and may Allah reward you with good health once again.
Much love to you bro, still giving us content to keep us happy with everything you've gone through.
Adding to the support, it's amazing how the internet can make us feel close to people that we have never met but have seen year after year.
Bless your heart for restoring one of my childhood gaming consoles 😢❤❤❤
LOL, I always love your videos. This one had so many, "That's what she said!" moments.
I hope treatment and recovery are going well. You're an inspiration!
Hi
Nice work on fixing it. Love this channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and being yourself in your videos!
Hey man, you got me started on fixing stuff on my own even though I started off really bad😅 I broke a few controllers in the beggining but since then I did everything from fixing my grandmas phone to deep cleaning my PlayStations. I just wanna say I love your content man and keep it up
Great job Steve. That MTN DEW Xbox is gorgeous. I want it!!! Lol 😀
Great content as always! You look great, I hope the treatments are going well. All the best.
Love watching you work man! Your vids got me through some hard times in 2020
Steve you are truly a a wizard at fixing things! Also I hope your health is improving.
I just discovered your channel and it's so interresting. Hope you continue your great work and hope you get better, sending you all positive energies I got.
More love and prayers brother! Great vid as always!
I wondered why all Steve’s hair had gone then I noticed the comments. Hope you pull through Steve, I love your channel and hope to see more videos for many more years to come. ❤
Steve you are a miracle worker It's always exciting to see you bring these derelict game systems back to life!
That's amazing, I can't believe you saved that one. Nice job!
Thank you for the video! I wish you all the best!
Wow! That board looked like trash before cleaning!
Yeah, it was pretty bad...especially inside!
I'm sad to see you sick buddy. God bless❤
Nice video I love to watch you do these type of repairs
Thanks 👍
0:39 THIS, THIS IS WHY I WATCH YOU! Doing the right damn thing at the right time versus well I just need to replace these and it’ll be fine. No. Do the whole damn job right there first time and you won’t need another time. 💜 thank you! 💜
Your videos are fascinating! I’ve been able to fix a few things from the things that I’ve learned from your vids! Thank you for the awesome knowledge! 👍
This board looked like it should go through an ultrasonic cleaner, or just dump the whole board in soapy water and start agitating with a soft brush.
THIS! I can't fathom the idea of working on a board with that amount of dirt (rust) on it😅
All you have to do later on in your journey to better health is repost old videos and we will watch them again to support you if you can’t make fresh content! The community YOU built has your back brother. No one fights alone!
When you said get some popcorn and buckle up we are doing a lot, it made me happy. No idea why but it did. Just thought I would let you know.
I can't believe that you got this working. Muy impressivo!
You are amazing sir, I really hope for you to get better soon. We need to see your videos.
I love your channel love your videos and wishing you a speedy recovery
For a unit that was handled by Restorish before being sent to you, this board is still really dirty. Great work though, love the hot air station method for the capacitor replacement!
how are you doing bud? i enjoy all of these... the amount of patience you have is better than mine.
I wanted to see how you fixed the controller port. Also maybe try some small fixes on the disc driver. It didn't seem that bad. Maybe some cleaning on the lens or something like could help it.
Stay strong! I went through it in 2021. Family left. I have a new family now. We got this!
I love watching your content, besides having an angel's patience your skills are amazing sir!!
Really love your channel, super informative and inspiring
Nicely done Steve!
Great Repair and Video. I hope you're feeling better!! Thank You. 😀
I really hope you are progressing positively. Health wise
love ya brother! God Bless you and your family!
Mad respect for you . May God bless you and keep being strong 💪
I hope you make it through, I'll always pray for your speedy recovery brother.
Congraz on this fix , what a treasure
You're far more patient than me with my Xbox tray, I just whack the top of the console to encourage it along!
Nice job. This may be the video that gets our old xbox onto the workbench for a refresh.
Love the work, as always. You should look into "solder tweezers" if you aren't aware of them (most people don't seem to be). Makes surface mount caps a breeze and leas danger of lifting pads!
I can not believe you fixed it. That was a lot of work
I have no idea how people can manage to clean stuff like this, I would be incredibly sneezy.
Thank you for all your hard work
The best thing I've learned from his videos is NEVER GIVE UP, KEEP TRYING. 😊
Cute voice crack
Yeah, my voice has been affected by the chemo. Getting better but still not 100% normal
@@Tronicsfix Oh no, hope it got not taken wrong with the voice crack thing too D: thats bad to hear, pls recover well steve, much love
Nope, not at all.
Oh mama. The color is beautiful. Excellent work.
My Brother won a Mt. Dew XBox 360 and got it several days before the 360 was sold in retail. Brings back memories.
I saw your health update. I’m glad you’re in remission!!! Cancer is a b word. My dad had it. Glad that you’re okay Steve
Sir, you are a treasure to the restoration community. If I may ask, how is the battle going? Seeing that you are keeping regular uploads is very promising.
Another banger Steve!
Bloomin amazing Job !
And another one. Nice. I'm impressed that the original disc drive worked almost.
Thanks for the video amazing job as always! Now I Want more new 2ds and 3ds xl repair :)
i love videos from you, it's motivate me, like seeing, impossible possible, keep going bro
Great video once again , love the channel.
