      Nice. I don't know if I had gotten in touch with you before but have you fixed one where you needed to replace the zif/socket connectors on the board? Because I need 3 repaired which I have the replacement parts but don't know how to solder.

      You could make this a "challange" series start of with $1000 and see if you can turn a profit then give the profit to charity or keep it... I dont care but the one rule is you have to "cost" everything including tools and parts from that starting seed money and profit

      The XL was my favourite one. About those faded stickers glue halos, have you tried using a wet magic eraser? It should be the equivalent of 3200 grit sand paper.

      The 35 year old Commodore 64 I restored starting back in October was worse than any of these. It actually made my hands itch to touch it. I was cringing heavily. But after I took the motherboard and keyboard out and gave the case a bath it looks brand new almost no yellowing at all. Then I had to take the keyboard apart and clean each key individually wash the motherboard with IPA. Now everything looks practically new. Many of these old computers have the ground traces all wavy. Not mine. That board looks brand new except for the areas I swapped out the ram chips and capacitors. And it works really good too. I have a 16GB flash drive hooked up to it via a special part with tons of games on it.

    I lost my New Nintendo 3DS XL to a bad wifi module, and the repairman told me it was integrated and irreparable. Spent quite a lot of money (about a 3rd or a base monthly salary) while on college trying to fix it to no avail. Lost many save files and access to my Nintendo Account. I pretty much gave it away some time ago and still miss it.

    When I had a 3DS when I was younger, the hinge on the right broke off (started cracking as I used the console a lot, crack got worse and eventually the whole hinge came off). I wanted to take it to a repair specialist, but my dad thought he could fix it himself. Something came off, so how does he get it back on? Using superglue. He superglued the hinge back to the main body, and then superglued around the hinge "for good measure". He ended up superglueing the whole lid shut. He realised his mistake and tried to open up the 3DS again, which he did. By ripping off the whole top screen.
    I still remember the sadness as he handed me back my two 3DS halves. Maybe I should have kept hold of it and sent it to you lol

    I think the one with the top cover that was made of glass and broke may be actually one of the very first models that was made, maybe Nintendo began making glass top covers, and realized how difficult it would be to remove them in order to repair the top screen, so they changed the cover to plastic instead

    Does anyone else think the original 3DS design is way more attractive and "techie" looking than the newer 3DS? I love the sleek design, the black gloss on the top screen, and the green "3d" light. Even the switch to turn on and off the wifi is fancy and just makes it feel like a more feature-rich gadget.

    Excellent! My recommendation on removing the stickers - I wouldn't use a spudger as it will scratch the plastic case. I would soak in IPA and rub with paper towel. It takes longer (sometimes much longer), but you end up with no scratches then.

    • @Tronicsfix
      @Tronicsfix  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Usually I would do that. Since this one was not in good condition and had lots of scratches already I wasn't worried about it. As far as I can tell it didn't actually leave any though.

    eBay's and PayPal's combined fees alone are probably around that $8.45, not to mention around $4 shipping, although I do know it's possible to get them down a bit lower... Also gotta keep in mind the fact that 100% of the time, eBay favors buyers in disputes/returns, which will probably add at least few bucks, on average, to each unit sold.

    Can you do a video where you go through the entire process of just fixing one product. Like for example instead fixing 20 switches just fix one switch and go through everything you do to get the switch to resale condition. This would be great because we would get to see everything you do all the testing, cleaning etc. And it might even help people who want to try buying broken products and reselling them fixed.

  • @respinoza89
    @respinoza89 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Careful with “untested” lots. I know a guy that sells these and when he gets returns he saves them until he gets enough to sell as a bundle and just mark as “untested” when in fact they are faulty, just barely though like a small spot on the screen that is dead as far as touch function does not work. Specific spots. But I’m sure you could fix those anyways

    • @LeSarthois
      @LeSarthois 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well I'm sure TronicFix shower those indeed, or on other systems or items, but yeah, a dead touch screen or even a dead/damaged screen on a DS/3DS is basically Level 101 fixing ;)
      A dead cart port tho, that's a more tricky thing, though not for TronicFix but for most people without the proper tools... Like me. 8 bits stuff? 16 bits stuff? Can do. SMD soldering? can't do that yet.
