That board holder is awesome

Great work so far!

What’s the size and type of screwdriver you used

uhhh my switch literily fall off loool jsut the small piece of metal on the top whjich is holding it on

Googd job, thsnk you for video. you should turn reciever off and on by standby button and protection will dssappear. so you will reset your device

had a 90% unresponsive power button but it still clicked; i managed to fix it by working alcohol into the switch body and wiggling/pressing it for a minute. Had to remove the heat sink and move the motherboard back a bit to get to this, but kept most flat cables connected. Seems like there can be some quality issues with these. I love the relative repairability of the steam deck but the power button and usbc straight on the motherboard are a mistake.

Got one from Goodwill yesterday, the prong is a bit chipped. Power turns on, then loses power (the blinking light stops) in getting the correct power cord, hopefully it’ll work

Hey there, I was attempting to do this repair but noticed that the central pin solder trace of the button was broken, do you know where I can connect a jump wire to that central pin of the power button? Thanks a lot

Where did you get the chips from? Add link please

Have you had any luck with the black screen issues yet ? I’ve had several in for repair now and not one has been the actual screen or bios. They all work on an external monitor. Wondering if it’s some ic chip issue. ?

Kon sii wire use kii hai

What a awesome job!!

Tried everything as well nothing works. All combo with volume up and power button, volume down woth power button 3 dots with power button every imaginable combo. Nothing worked. The fan works and haptocs work but no boot. Even removed the battery cable.

I have one of these that is not working properly. Power is always on, but none of the buttons work. I pulled the board and I could see the Y1 transistor at position QB1 got really hot and IC at position U2 looks cooked. Not sure if the IC or an equivalent is available to purchase. Any suggestions??

A great job ,well explained video

Nice Job!

I have to agree .. oddly satisfying for sure!

Oddly Satisfying 👀

Thats awesome, I'll take 500 of them pls! 😆

How cool! Very interesting!

average cost for this repair?

Love this video! I have the same product and my power button isn’t changing the function so my nebula doesn’t show up. I can see a dim blue light on inside the black box. Any suggestions?

My Power Button only worked if I pressed hard, I disassembled the steam deck cleaned the button and put some electrical tape on it. Now I it works every time and the power button feels a lot better! Thanks for the video ❤

This guy is a god.

The dogs are lovely! Thanks for the warning. I always figured there'd be some sort of barrier from the outer part of the screen screen to the screen ribbon assembiles but I guess not.

Very interesting! Thanks for the info!

Can you give a TLTR version? What turned out to be the problem?

I just love your videos, even showing when things can go wrong like dropping a screw. I've always been fascinated with fixing items even though I'm a female. When I was 7 years old, I asked for, and received a Mr. Machine for Christmas. (We are speaking of the 1960's here). Then I worked for Motorola assembling and soldering PC boards for their communications. Then I worked for a company called Prince Castle engaging in restaurant timers for their largest client, McDonalds along with Burger King and KFC. Then I worked for a pinball manufacturing company wiring the transformers and made the wire harnesses. I commend you on not cussing with that dropped screw...or did you do some editing? Lol! Again, I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for sharing. Cindy.

Grandpa I showed it to uncle Dan

This is our train and Jeff is our hero! He saved a beloved part of Christmas for our 9 grandkids! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Very interesting!

Seems to be a common problem with these buttons

Yeah one of the prongs in the dock connector is chipped, but it works fine, it just makes the Pods a little loose if anything. Great device, got it from Goodwill.

I own one of these units and must say they are awesome. Unfortunately mine is inoperative at this time. Please Solder Brothers, I just sent you folks an email addressing the matter of my unit and look forward to hearing from you. This is best video I have seen on the repair of this A1121 Apple iPod Hi-Fi. Awesome work on this video, thanks for posting!

Sound board diagram sir please

How I contact you sir

Hi sir can please send me the diagram Voltage Ampere

Neat work! Nice job girl!

I have two of these and don’t use the dock connector it’s too fragile. So I use the aux in .

What was that magnifier contraption?

I will be attempting to do the same... Does not work on Power Cord or Batteries... not sure what is going on... but hate to toss ... it sounded great! i am making the assumption that if not connected to audio with Audio Jack - the light on the front will still come on (if the power supply is working) - right now NO light in the front on Battery or Plugged in

Which hdmi microscope are you using ?

Nice simple design. Well done!

Thank you so much for choosing us! Super expected to see your build part! ❤

Easy money :)

Nice job.

How cool!

Good to see the younger generation having an interest in electronics repair and building! Tell her to keep up the good work.
