Great stuff Vince. Your soldering has come a long way! Good to see the upgrades too, you're going to love them. On a side note, if you need spares, I have stacks of them. I can send you some replacement cases, ports etc if you need them, maybe do a revisit on it for another video if you wanted to? Happy to send you a care package 📦
**ADDENDUM** With Cracked Plastic you can super glue the cracks together by ensuring enough glue is used so that excessive glue oozes out on both sides of the crack for you to promptly clean the excess away from the external surface, Once the glue is set, I found using an old soldering iron and some sacrificial internal plastics from the repaired case "or if handy some other case" the cracks can be reinforced by melting extra plastic on the inside over the crack, if enough glue was used and the clean up done in time the crack should remain undetectable..
I thought for sure with a drop that bad there would be some BGA ICs needing replacement. I guess it depends more on when the drops occurs (under use or after the board has cooled). Rather it's was a bit of luck I suppose really just needing a new HDD. Nice repair overall Vince!
To skip the high price of the data vac, I bought an electric pump from argos for £15 which is supposed to blow up air beds and paddling pools ect..., it does the trick amazingly, it has adapters and with a little modification you can hook up different size tubes.
The thing about canned air is that it doesn't actually contain air, because the pressure needed to liquidise air is much larger than a simple spray can will contain. So aside from the obvious waste from the cans, you're spraying either pure butane, propane, or fluorocarbons in the air.
Hello Vince, another good video. Regards to the air machine how about putting some sort of brush on the end , so as the air blows you could also brush whatever you are trying to clean might get a better results.
The fact this Xbox One works despite this kink is a bloody miracle! The location of the kink is indeed the saving grace! And it’s no surprise the hard drive stopped working. If the Xbox One itself suffered that much damage, the hard drive must’ve taken a massive hit. It may be more vulnerable when it’s spinning, but with enough force, even an inactive hard drive won’t survive.
Very cool you were able to get that fixed for them again! I did a similar button swap on a set of computer speakers - one of the buttons on control box failed (turned it on once to many times I suppose) so I swapped it with a different button that I never used
Hey Vince, I absolutely love your channel. I have learnt so much from them. I was wondering if you would be willing to make a video of all your gadgets and tools that you use? Especially the small testers that you use.
From my experiences with the electric "canned air" the nozzle you used was way too small which keeps the blower basically being held back from max velocity by back pressure. If 6ou would switch to a nozzle at least double the diameter as what you used, and that has a tapered flat tip to allow more overall flow that get concentrated at 5he outlet increasing tip velocity which in turn makes it work better for dusting pcs
I just use my big compressor that I use for my air tools. Turn the regulator up to 90psi, throw on an airgun and it'll blast away any dirt in the vicinity.
@@MikeL-FL true, that's one way to go but if you don't already have one and don't have the $150-$300 that they cost then these type of devices are the way to go. Mine died one day and really couldn't wait for one to be delivered so I found an eletric high-velocity air-mattress inflator for just $10 at the local wallyworld and I took one of the included nozzels and heated it up then squeezed it into a straight opening at the tip. A bit clunky to hold and move around a computer/game console but it worked way better than I expected it to honestly. It was nesrly as good as my old Datavac
@@tyronenelson9124 They can blow oil all over the thing you are trying to clean so do make sure your air compressor is oil-less. As long as it is, it'll probably work even better than canned air. Air compressors are rather bulky and noisy, though. That's a bit of a turn-off for me who lives in a small apartment without a dedicated workshop area. So I'd rather get a datavac personally even if it's not as effective.
I was wondering how long till we got to see a Hakko appear in the videos ! And when you realize what a proper iron can do for the repairs, wow! Congrats on the upgrade Vince !
The xbox one x and one s can take quite a bit of damage and keep going, in Microsofts defence, apart from the odd faulty hdmi part and mashed hard drive, everything else is pretty robust (until someone introduces liquid through the top.)
I have this exact same problem with my Xbox One S (although without the physical damage or HDMI port problem) and now I should be able to fix it! Thanks Vince for this amazing video! You're a life saver :D
Been wanting to comment on your new equipment for a while! Nice one! Would you consider perhaps making a video on what you have now? Especially the microscope! Been struggling to find one that will work properly and is not too much over the top!
Really nice fix. Would you be interested in a non-working Flir One Pro USB-C? It's probably not interesting for a video, as I suspect corrupted firmware, but I could be wrong. I thought I'd just mail it to you, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that you didn't want international shipments.
Thanks Roger, a FLIR camera arrived in my PO box around 2 months ago so I'm good at the moment. Thanks for asking though, and maybe if I need another one to fix the one that I already have I could accept your offer then perhaps 👍👍👍
I want to get one of those datavacs. I've probably spent more than that on canned air already, it's a bit expensive here. And a can really doesn't go very far, a couple good dustings and the pressure is mostly gone and it doesn't blow effectively anymore.
Good fix. With the new hot air gun you should burn boards less, as the components come off quicker. You probably could have taken the hdmi connector off without damaging it by heating the board from below with the new air gun.
Great work as always, and congrats on your new equipment👍 Would love to see a video where you show your equipment, solder/hot air station, microscope, cameras, mic etc. Doesn't have to be a long video, maybe 10mins, like a Tea break show and tell😄 And maybe some links to where you buy things like solder, flux etc.
Funny story about things out of windows, my old mum so fed up with my brother just watching Star Trek and not doing his uni work well her and he ended up having this massive barney and my old mum had an Irish temper so she lost it picking up his very expensive Franklin Mint Starship Enterprise and flung it out of the upstairs window where it narrowly missed hitting an old bill car, it was so funny my brothers pride and joy flew like a brick and landed like one and me mum was whizzing his Star Trek DVD's out the broken window like frisbees by this point. Strangely enough my brother did toe the line after that and I managed to unbend the Starship Enterprise enough to look fairly OK although it was missing its gold deflector as someone had that away as it was real gold too hehe
Now you have the new tools, I expect nothing but perfection on all the soldering from now on. Good fix. Feels like half of your patreons are in our facebook group lol
Hi Vince. Not seen the Hakko iron before, Looks a nice Iron. I've got the AIXUN T3A with the T245 iron. You can probably hear it beep on my videos everytime I take it out of the holder as it automatically heats up and shuts down.
I remember your pull string toy video and would love to see you repair a talking pull string 60s Barbie. If you do commissions, I'd love mine repaired.
This reminds me of the ps2 i fixed that had gotten the same treatment..... The dvd that was in it was in 5 large pieces and the case was also bevond repair. Though interestingly enough it still worked after cleaning it out and re assembling it with a new case. I actually still have it after all these years for having it as a spare console.
I feel like I've read that if a hard drive isn't spinning up it could be a board problem which can be repairable. Something on the board preventing power from getting into the hdd.
Violins and symphonies.....oh you said sympathy...for what?! 😉 Just joking! I hope you recover soon, Vince. You live n learn, still you got more courage than me, skateboarding looks scary. Nice method of switching over the HDMI ports, clean swap. Glad to see the console working again.
I would have tried using hot air from the bottom of the board to do the button swap, it’s a good trick to do surface mount items which you don’t want to melt
I've had quite a few PS4s that got dropped, one I even found on top of a trash can with the upper case and the metal part missing. The board is normally OKish, most of the time the harddrive, the drive (which isn't an issue for an all digital version) and sometimes the PSU are dead. The PSU can be repaired, if you find the fault, but the harddrive and the drive need to be replaced (or atleast the laser, if you don't want to replace the entire drive).
Heat the board from underneath the HDMI port and you won't damage the plastic inside. Ryobi leaf blower £49 and a £50 2ah battery does a brilliant job of cleaning the dust from my series X.
without seeing the rest of the video my prediction at the 2:27 mark is that I recon there are damaged traces on the board from potential bowing structure damage. The HDMI port might have been ripped and torn from the pads and finally I'm going to predict a few chips including the retimer has been damaged from the drop. Lets see how close I was to getting it right.
My fan used to sound like that from new. I replaced with a new fan and now it's silent. My hard drive did the same thing without being dropped. Exact same power off after 30 seconds. Might work every 20 attempts or so. I put the hard drive into a usb enclosure and you hear the sound of a jammed HDD. You can use external HDD with this also to gain capacity. I've also had to use a 500gb replacement, a 7200rpm unit from an old laptop so it's faster than the original. And then I've also plugged in a 4 terabyte usb external drive which it can also use for game storage. But what this really needs is a 1 terabyte SSD. That would make it a lot faster especially as I often use for media. It's my Blu-ray player.
I was expecting to hear some clicking but maybe it was a no power issue instead. Shame they are so sensitive to being taken apart as it may have been an easy fix inside it 👍
With a musical score "Three blind Mice" as background music lets sing "flux~Flux~FLUX" 3 Times... Whilst you dab flux every time before any soldering, especially with low melt solder which is devoid of Flux.. BTW.. Watching you Solder via the microscope one would be convinced they are watching NorthridgeRidge Fix..🙂 APU I dropped a, 👉👍👈
Good fix. May have been less exciting and not the most long-lasting fix, but you saved it from the landfill for now and hopefully by the time it goes fully, it'll be time to get the next gen Xbox anyways.
If you relisten around 38:22 you can hear the hard drive trying to initialise, again and again, high pitched sound repeating itself. :) it's quite distinctive and it's repetitive, maybe you can hear it on video better. That said, xboxes will struggle to go into safe mode if it is waiting for a hard drive to do it's thing... the hard drive that's not broke enough to tell the xbox it's broke, means the xbox will wait for a long time before timing out and switching off...
Fell? Nah that's absolute Rage damage. Seen it before. Spoilt kid loses it after losing Fortnite, stamps on console. That explains the extreme bowing, crack position, removed bottom cover and distorted metal base. No way is that fall damage. If I had a kid who raged on an expensive system, no way on earth I'd buy them another.
I did skateboarding as a young 'un, used to longboard in a point of Greenwich park and it was estimated by time you got to the boating pool at bottom you were doing 30 mph plus and only your Converse trainers to stop you too, well I ended up hitting a stone on the way down and it launched me through the air because of the dead stop smacking me head on side of a park bench and all these people around me clapping saying "do it again" :(
It... survived remarkably well. HDD failure from a fall is obvious, it's why laptops have tried their best to abandon them in recent years. Even just a six inch fall can completely murder an HDD, they're frail and useless media at this point. Doesn't help that 2.5" drives are really low capacity too..
I'm not one to speculate, but I think this was a ruse to get his parents to buy him the new Series S or X. Aleaset you got it working, and good job on the video looking forward to part 4 on the car.
Ooh, awesome to see you skating with your friends! I hope your hand get fully heald! My favourite cleaning tool is IPA (ofcous) but after that the stream machine with the brush. Nice that you treated yourself with a some real equipment. I think you proved that you can do stuf like this with entery lvl tools 😉 And now you can tell peapel your not a real mechanic some things i do maby wrong or dangerous and take this just for entertainment 🙄 😉 Thank you for your video, looking forward to see you get back on that rolsroys :)
Love you have new setup would like too see the model of microscope and heat station if u can list in sometime woul be great. Brilliant video there vince loved it. Also waiting for another car vid

Very lucky considering the amount of damage on it. Unbelievable that the BGA chips survived! Cheers Shawn 👌
I reckon someone tripped over the cables with it on the floor and then stood on it in the ensuring panic. Great repair Vince.

Spinning discs REALLY hate being dropped, or thrown from a window...nice work.

mmm... delicious...
Most likely butane. On the upside, you can also use it as a makeshift blowtorch/flamethrower :)
Excellent job Vince. Always nice to another item be saved from e-waste. Makes me want to get out my soldering iron, but I have nothing to fix, yet.
Hello Vince, another good video. Regards to the air machine how about putting some sort of brush on the end , so as the air blows you could also brush whatever you are trying to clean might get a better results.
