2 Videoa this week?! Thank you, Joey!
Your descriptions of the multimeter functions, just had me in tears mate well done 😂😂
COMPLETELY accurate 😊
A Great attempt! Very entertaining as Always. Thank You
I'm curious, what type of feedback do you usually leave with items like these on eBay? Do you give the seller the benefit of the doubt? Do you call them out on what they do and/or didn't do as far as honesty with the listing?
Curious about this too
With the Xbox series X, with those pins on the port being bridged, you should’ve tried to swap out the HDMI IC, which is the N87N, since the Xbox will fail its self checks and turn off on its own if the HDMI chip has failed
(Not sure if thats always the case though.)
The dust is probably because the previous owner took it apart in their garage or something and didn't put it back together right away. Board got left on a table or workbench and collected dust
I'm strangely addicted to these vids 😅, slowly learning though so it's handy speaking of which would you ever do like do an in depth tutorial type vid or how to do XYZ like soldering for example I'm hoping to get into fixing things like console controllers primarily but there is no tutorial about soldering keep up the work and make sally happy 😂
Joey you could sell that solder mountain as a job lot.
Gutted for you.
Oh Joey it was going so well
Welcome to the Fluke gang! I have been so pleased with my 115, hopefully it will treat you to many years of repair.
I would like to see a good repair youtuber (like Joey) discuss about the reasons of some gaming consoles faults. I'm amazed of Joey abilities, but also horrified of the huge amount of faulty consoles that are repaired. Maybe some good advices from a good repair guy Will help a bit
Bought my multimeter in 1993 at radio shack. It worked forever 3 battery changes in its life. It recently quit. Found corrosion inside cleaned it still don't work. Ate the board away under the main chip....
Yay, you got a Fluke 115! They have these at where I work, and if I find one at a decent price, I'm getting one myself!
I would have replaced the retimer IC, since beep on beep offs can be caused by it
I also bought the infiray and i am very happy with my purchase so far. Have no comparison though as it is my first thermal cam.
Having the original charger makes up for the lost postage you paid for the switch lite :)
With the xbox i assume they started repair, then failed and had it in parts bin collecting dust. Now they need the money and reassemble faulty.
I don't like seeing you (well anyone) lose money. However I very VERY much appreciate that you post the fails as well as the successes.
Most repair channels show just that: repairs. They don't seem to post many failures, so you have to question if they did 5 attempts before 1 success or not.
I'd rather hear the EEVBlog 121EG multimeter beep though ;)
Keep up the good work sir!
i just got the Fluke 117 and i am very happy with it, they are expensive but i think it is worth it, greeting from Costa Rica, keep the hard work
I purchase the same camera It's a game changer
To the lay person a beep on beep off would just mean the console does not power on. Pefectly acceptable description if you ask me.
If the seller was the person fixing it, they are clearly not an ordinary user either. In this case, I think they were just playing dumb.
Joe, why you didn't switch the top and bottom board with known good one to narrow down the fault?
make sure the console stay on without the ssd installed. if it stay on then is an ssd problem. if not there is a chance it could be something else and potentially can be fixed
Yay, it's minus! Though think of it on the bright side: if the Switch charger is OK, and the power cable/controller for the Xbox is OK, you can at least sell those on to offset the minus from the consoles themselves not working.
Clearly now you need to use the Fluke to repair the _old_ multimeter
Joey where and how do i watch your livestreams? Do you also have a discord community for your channel i could join?
Hey Joey. What kind of scope are you using?
Hey Chris! It's this one 😊 andonstarmicroscope.com/products/ad407-pro-digital-microscope?ref=JDT
Thanks man! I am still just working in limited office space. I have one of these i bought several years ago, and i need to buy a pivot arm for my real scope.
I want to upgrade my small one to something a little bigger. Most repairs dont warrant busting out the big scope
I have a mint condition Nintendo switch think it has the m92 chip issue shows charging symbol but won't turn on we would like to buy it back given the opportunity something your interested in
For the Nintendo, personally I would inject higher voltage just in case I can see something better. It wouldn't hurt to try if you gonna consider it as a loss.
Remove the ssd and see if the xbox powers on? If it does power on after removing the ssd then it is noe a paperweight lol
Despite everything Joey manages a great smile for the thumbnail. Keep trying 😀👍
You know you have a fluke multimeter way cheaper than that 😉
i think that was fair enough of the seller to say it wouldnt turn on. I wonder if there is something besides game gear that would resell easily and have a higher fix rate?
they should have, however mentioned prior repair attempts.
beep on beep off. usually ram chip. It's time to learn reballing, Joey.
That Fluke should last forever. My Fluke 87 has been used and abused for nearly 25 years and is still going.
You could sell the charger and get some money back
Jealous over the Fluke. Mine died years ago and I got a cheap one.
I feel such an idiot asking this but... where is your jumper from please ?
You still sell the power cord for the swith so you didnt lose money on that
you really need to ask questions from sellers. ive had some very near misses but asking questions and getting very vague answers is a red flag for me
I would respectfully disagree, I think most normies would consider this as not turning on (or powering on). They wouldn’t release the subtleties of not turning on vs light on light off.
WTF did you just call out all those settings on your meter? Fluke should be at your door soon to take your Fluke meter.
Can. l. Make. Money. Fixing. Broken. Electronics. ? Profit. Or. Loss
Honestly joey, I don’t get why you buy Xboxes. They are horrible to fix. I would focus more on things that have more chances to be fixed, also you will get more experienced with consoles you focus on.
There is a logic in: a) buy the best you find, you dont always get a great chance to find awesome repair leads b) more variety = more content, as you can see, he is not making money from the sales, he is making from the yt content. Sometimes lady luck smiles, sometimes she does not, if you add the wholesome Joy attitude regardless = great content 😅
@@KostasTsakalidis a great content in my eyes is, when you have a device fixed with an error you didn’t had yet, and not the same error you never can fix
Xbox have a chance to be fixed 😅😅
@@ellisgarbutt1925 sure they do. But Joey doesn’t seem to have any luck with them
@@Earthling247 true but some errors like beep on off, could be anything. I would rather try to get no power errors, could be also a lot of things, but it could be more easy.
Please stop removing parts without showing us the process 😢
no like from me today
first comment
Well one thing is sure ebay always gets paid! As you mentioned in earlier videos you aren't including your time as well as a lot of other costs so doesn't seem viable for actually making money. Need lower costs for the devices you fix like maybe pallets of returns?
I’d agree that in terms of making money, purely buying off eBay faulty, trying to fix and re sell (at least for the consoles I work on) is not worth it at all 😂
Buying stuff faulty, stripping and selling would be a much better way to spend time 😃
