    i replaced the backlight leds on my 58" tv last weekend, i do contract tv repair work but not that involved. i watch this channel alot, own a tshirt and got inspired and fixed my tv. it's not perfect i have to do some adjustments, but it works well enough for the wife to watch

    1:20 The reason you have to push in so hard is because they aren't Phillips screws they are JIS screws which are mildly different sized. Phillips will work, but if you never want to worry about stripping again start using the JIS bits(which are in the Pro Tech Toolkit; it's the row of cross headed bits on the 3rd or 4th row from the top, marked with J000-J1).
    Edit: It should be mentioned that all Japanese electronics use JIS screws, and will wear much less if the correct bits are used.

    • @ryanfromthecarwash
      @ryanfromthecarwash 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      Thanks! I've always wondered if there was much difference. Considering Japanese electronics are just about the only thing I tinker with, you probably just saved a lot of screws from eventually being stripped out LOL

      Alot of people don't realize that about some of the Nintendo consoles now using those types of screws, when I replaced a joycon rail on the OLED, I had ordered a specific set of Jis Drivers from Ifixit and they worked great

    One thing I've noticed about repair shops is that they dont want or know how to replace chips. It's why I like your videos, you look at almost everything that could be wrong with the devices.

    You're killing me, Steve. It was so satisfying, watching you clean off the word "Parts", until you stopped and left half the word there...

  • @Altered-Stigma
    @Altered-Stigma 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    One of the most devastating feelings I get when repairing stuff; is knowing I spent a lot of time, from hours to sometimes days, trying to fix something. Only for it to still be broken in the end. Also, one of the most satisfying things is spending a lot of time on something and it being fixed. One saps your moral, but the other gives such a good high and great feeling of satisfaction combined with knowing that time was justified because it's working now.
    Unfortunately, I've experienced the former more times than the latter haha. So glad you were able to fix that "modded" OLED switch.

    @36:00 - I've had this happen to me. When the foam tape sticks to the SD connector, it can have a tendency to pull UP on the connector and disconnect it. I actually had to cut down my foam tape square to make it smaller so it fit in the hole and didn't pull up on the connector.

    One does an odd thing where 1 joy con doesn’t work when attached to the rail, but works when bluetoothed.

    • @michaelburns4020
      @michaelburns4020 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ALL mod chips use those locations. Doesn't necessarily mean it was a picofly. They all need dat0 (under the emmc on the other side), cmd, clk, gnd, +5v, and a flexible cable with resistors soldered to the apu, for glitching the boot process. Oh, and reset.

    Tying a switch from a rent to own….um…put 50 bucks aside per paycheck and in about a month and a half or so depending on how frequently you get paid, you can just buy a Nintendo switch from Walmart for retail.

    • @yvesgarcia
      @yvesgarcia 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I'm not sure but I think the repairable one is shorted due to a faulty chip that is cheap and easily replaceable. Those other ones are shorted due to a faulty CPU, a much more expensive part and technically hard to replace.
