You have no idea how you inspire people to save electronics instead of turning them on e-waste. I'm all the way down here in Brazil and everytime I have the opportunity to at least try to save something, that's my goal. I fix it until it's too broken. I even tried to fix my own ps4, but then I discovered that the hdmi chip has to be replaced and that's out of my league. Keep up inspiring people, man!
I'm not an expert with ps4s but You can probably source yourself a dead or donor ps4 and take the chip from there, or is it like soldered like the nands of macs where you'd need a heat gun instead
@@seguramlkover the last month I’ve bought 4 broken ps2s, 8 broken controllers, 2 broken “new” ds’s and a 2 broken switch lites and after watching him for years and literally have the confidence to repair anything unless it’s too broken ofc then I sell for parts lol
@@finntjomstol9364 Hey, just curious but were you able to save any of them? I'm a complete beginner and now I'm contemplating buying a retro console to try and fix it.
@@jenrykster3283 controllers are easy as long as you can see the what is broken. There are alot of free testers which is great just not alot money to be made but a great way to get familiar with these repairs or save money on controllers. Ds’s are probably next level up. DS Lites are super cheap easy and fun to work on. Newer ones can get very annoying and more expensive. Ps2s went 2/4 but I feel that is because I got the “replacement” sensors on aliexpress and a couple of them didn’t work at all. Switch lites were a wash just in way too bad of condition because a previous person had tried to repair them and killed them and lost a ton of parts. Avoid at all costs someone else’s failed repair especially if it is missing parts if you can as a beginner. The key is buying the broken device for cheap enough if you can’t fix it still get around what you paid selling it in for parts condition. A bit hypocritical with not buying others failed repair but it’s how the game works 🤷♂️. Have now transitioned to newer MacBooks just cause there is more money to be made but have gone 0/3 on actually fixing any. Unfortunately ended up buying a couple broken ones that had very very bad liquid damage that wasn’t shared when I bought but have had some success parting them out. If you are starting board repair and soldering definitely start with the oldest tech you can because board repair on a modern system is very very difficult. And last thing, don’t get frustrated having little success with cheap or worn out tools. Having proper working tools and the correct tools is going to be the biggest thing that will save you time and stress. Hope this helps
I've heard that Valve is gonna remove the glue on the battery on the Steam Deck for easily replacement to match the new EU standards about batteries replacement. Hope Nintendo and others will follow (if they have the choice)
Why batteries even glued in the first place.. that's just anti-repairability. Old devices with detachable batteries works fine before. If concerning the batteries will fall off, just put a locking mechanism..
18:00 The screen is not done for. Two options there. 1. If the cable is long enough: Cut the corroded part off. Gently scrape the ribbon cable to expose the metal lines. Reconnect. 2. If the cable isn't long enough: Paint the traces with "metal nail polish". Scrape in between the metal lines to remove excess nail polish. Test for shorts. Reconnect. I've tried both with PS controllers and things like that and always worked.
I agree but if I had to guess the subtext here it's more about the time/effort required to do it. Then there's the fact he's giving them away and likely wants a reliable fix.
@@gumbypokey7 True. That would be a free fix, a fix for a friend or oneself. And it takes less than 5 minutes to scrape the plastic layer to reach the lines. I just meant the screen is not done for. In my experience, it's also been a permanent fix for non moving parts like in this case. I'm also sharing a fix for someone with a similar problem trying to fix their own stuff, I hope someone finds it useful :)
I liked that fast forwarded part where all has been put together around the 13:30 mark. It really shows how much work gets into them. And as long as it is in moderation this can be a handy tool for possible future videos.
Tip for deep dicharged Batteries: take a full one of the same type, connect + to +, - to - and let it sit there for a few seconds. Thats usually enough for the charger to kick in. I jumpstart my eneloops all the time this way when they were deep discharged (by flash Light for example). Such a battery usually cant hold the Same amount of Ah afterwards though. Li Ion take it very Personal if they get discharged to 0 V.
Have to say I also love my ifixit tools, the only issue I have is I wish the bit marking was clearer, sometimes it's a little difficult finding the correct bit looking for the stamped mark in the foam
That's awesome you fixed two of them! I've got a few things I'd like to fix myself after watching your videos. Gonna have to pick up a soldering station and give it a whirl!
I'm consuming your videos like an addicted. They are so good and helpful. I managed to fix my PS1 because of your video fixing each playstation. Thanks :3
I always keep any liquids away from any electronic device, even if it is waterproof. My senses start to tingle if I don't. Especially when someone else puts their drink near my electronic stuff. You'd be surprised how careless people can be, not only with their own stuff but others as well. You can't take care of someone else's stuff if you don't take care of yours in the first place.
your videos inspired me to try to fix the PCB of my old Dell Ultrasharp monitor. Blown caps is real... Failed miserably with poor soldering job, but worth the effort and lessons learned. Next time will be a success.
Excellent job. I've been following your channel for a long time and I know how difficult it is to work with game maintenance without good equipment for it. For the great content you have another subscriber. Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you, I love watching your videos Steve. Keep up the awesome work and keep on bringing dead electronics back to life and keep adding the "Perfect Amount of Thermal Paste"
You might be able to take a good fully charged battery and jump the power and ground to the dead battery and leave it connected for about 30 secs to a min and it might give the discharged battery enough power to take a charge. I have done this with several drill battery's and a couple car battery's and it has worked great.
14:12 good to see that you also use the natural steam moisture to clean surfaces 😂 I'm so loving this channel!!! Though I cant repair, I almost every day use that technique!!!
not sure if you realised after but you can replace the shell without removing the battery. it can stay adhered to the midframe and you remove it in one piece
You need a bench power supply, super useful for fixing to power things directly but very useful to bring dead undervoltage lion batteries back to life. Great video though :)
A note on the bits for the driver set. The one thing ive been unable to open with the the tri wing bits are wii nunchucks, the screws are recesed too deep for the bits to reach.
I got one for 15 usd. The joysticks were all wonky. I finally got a replacement joystick months later and noticed that it was the ribbon cable that was corroded. Cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and it was as good as new. Digitizer is busted but doesn't really matter I suppose. All the screws are missing as well lol. I'm happy with the use I've gotten out of it
So glad you're now sponsored by IfixIt, Steve! I've always enjoyed watching your great content. Keep doing what you do best: applying the perfect... I mean, fixing electronics. But you do apply the perfect amount of thermal paste, too.
Hi. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I love your content. I just had a small suggestion if you don’t mind. If you could show the cost of the parts required to fix the items in your videos it would be very helpful. That way we can know what kind of damage our device has, how much it will cost us to repair it and if the repair shop is trying to overcharge us.
Me who enjoys Steve's content because watching him fix things is relaxing even though I have no knowledge of the craft: Yeah I'm pretty sure that last Switch's USB-C is broken
I wish I had the confidence, skill set and tools to have swapped that power management chip when my son's Lite failed with a similar error code on New Years Eve - cost £70 for a nationwide reseller and repairer (CEx) to fix. However - I did replace the screen myself last year after his sister dropped something on it using the iFixit guide and parts from eBay so that saved some money (and heartbreak).
I was given an Aldi grinder the 18v batteries were flat to the point the chargers could not see them. I got some wire and did plus to plus and minus to minus on a car battery for a couple of minutes and then the charger could see and charge them. I have done similar with another tool I was given. And guys on the Aldi tool forum confirm it worked for them as well
At 21:50 you're asusming that this capacitor is there for decoupling, but not all capacitors play this role. In this instance it's a buck converter so it requires an inductor and a capacitor to oscillate (aka LC circuit) so if the capacitor is not there it won't provide any current to the main chip. That could be almost any power rail, core, IOs, memory,... more likely a low-power rail considering the size of the capacitor.
i always find it hard to use pliers to remove connectors like that. it's hard to get the right amount of pressure. i worry that I will slip off and scrape something off the board. I find it a lot easier to use my nails to lever each side out gradually.
Years ago I remember having a phone pre usb connector days that never charged unless the battery had enough charge to power on even if it was for at least like 10 seconds or so, I had another phone that used same battery and could charge the battery with that even tested it by charging for a minute or two to give it enough power to turn on then let it fully charge and it did. Never worked out why unless it was something to do with the circuit.
Question, is there ever a point where you think you can fix something, but the amount of time and effort will genuinely not be worth it? And if so, how do you make that decision?
Yes, happens all the time. A lot of factors go into that decision. At the end of the day many times it’s just a matter of whether I’m still having fun. This is assuming it’s something I’m fixing just for fun. If it’s for a video I’ll keep going in hopes of a better video.
You can just inject to battery FPC on the battery itself with DC power supply set to 4V 3amps and get it back up to over 3V then let it charge normally the rest....
after watching your videos and you promoting the ifixit tool kit, I wanted one for my birthday last year badly. always fixing kids toys, it would be handy. didn't get it 😢, maybe next year.
I know this video is a year old, but how did you get your hot air station to remove that port so well? I just did this mod and the solder was so stubborn that it wouldnt melt on the anhors. I tried flux, fresh solder, eventually had to use low melting point solder to get it off. What temp do you set your air station at?
Any idea how one might approach the purple screen of death on a switch lite? I've got one that's in perfect condition but can't find anything definitive to approach and resolve said issue. Also I'm always so impressed on your hot air gun rework. I can't use a hot air gun for the life of me, because of which I have the approach everything with an iron and low melt. Although I'm pretty certain my station needs calibration for the hot air as it is an off brand set. I'm still learning reworking!
A tip to get a battery that is at zero volt is to use a NiMA charger I use a RC car/drone charger. BUT BE CAREFUL! lipo and lion battery's is a REAL fire hazard and will have taken damage when they have been discharged to zero volt.
I thought I dropped a lithium battery down my dryer shoot. So I had to take it apart. I didn't get a good look at it, but it was near a charger so reasonable assumption. It was a pain in the ass, but I got the shoot semi removed. Enough to examine the inside. It was a cable, a ton of lint, and a dead mouse! Why did my house not stink like dead mouse? I have no idea. Probably saved me over $200.
I have a Broken Nintendo Wii....... either the Eject Mechanism is Broken...... or the Laser Wore out on it! but either way the System won't read the Disks anymore..... either Gamecube or Wii Games won't Read it....... yeah it's Launch Model which was in White!

That's awesome you fixed two of them! I've got a few things I'd like to fix myself after watching your videos. Gonna have to pick up a soldering station and give it a whirl!
A pro tip is to get solder that's got actually lead or high lead content and get good flux, solder with high tin content is really crap to use

What liquid are you using in the ultrasonic cleaner? Water? Isopropyl alcohol?
Love watching your stuff! Always makes me wanna open my stuff to take a look. And, some of the lite videos helped me fix my son’s switch.
Hoo dog! A firm reminder to keep liquids away from your consoles! Also: did a yeti try and plug the USB port into that last one or something???
I use a water proof laptop bag when I take my tech with me. And I don't drink or eat near my gear either.
Even worse. It was a child.

It would be interesting to see you build your own dead battery charger. Ive seen big clive videos on charging beyond dead batteries.
That’s a good idea.
Always appreciate your right to repair, even if they don't want you to. Keep up the great work, been following for years Steve.

A tip to get a battery that is at zero volt is to use a NiMA charger I use a RC car/drone charger. BUT BE CAREFUL! lipo and lion battery's is a REAL fire hazard and will have taken damage when they have been discharged to zero volt.
Thanks for reminding me I should probably charge my switch. Haven’t used it in a while and it’s dead 👍🏻

It was a pain in the ass, but I got the shoot semi removed. Enough to examine the inside. It was a cable, a ton of lint, and a dead mouse! Why did my house not stink like dead mouse? I have no idea. Probably saved me over $200.
Just put 4 volts on + and - on the battery fo 20- 30 seconds and will be ready to charge from the console :)
i love how ur down to earth ..... keep it up
you were using the nice automatic screw driver before ifix, wish you still did.
I have a Broken Nintendo Wii....... either the Eject Mechanism is Broken...... or the Laser Wore out on it! but either way the System won't read the Disks anymore..... either Gamecube or Wii Games won't Read it....... yeah it's Launch Model which was in White!
That ultrasonic cleaner does wonders.
Puts the back on along with all the screws and says "is it going to work?" 😂😂😂 .......not fooling me 😅
Like your channel, but does thermal paste made in 2019 cause problems
Do another PS2 video, or a GameCube video! Would love some more older home console videos 😊
Oh i love all of your videos...wish can have one of that console :)
What sort of equipment do you need to remove a chip or connectors from the mobo like that?
Man i would love to have one they are so expensive by us in south Africa thanks for the awesome vids
