    Since there was FIFA (FC24) installed on the console my guess is the owner itself messed up his console trying to repair it. Very nice job Joey! Amazing that you were able to fix the abomination they sold you.

    Hi there Joey, I wanted to mention that in a Video Card Repair channel called NorthWestRepair. He demonstrated using a clear UV mask which cures really fast and hard and also has the added benefit of seeing how it has been repaired and how. The UV light can get under a connector (or whatever) and cure it completely. It doesn't look as pretty as the Mechanic Green, Red, Black and Blue. But the clear UV Mask works so much better. It may be worth looking into. You could always put a thin coat of green on top of the clear after to make it look better, but that is entirely up to you. Cheers!

  • @ProfShikari
    @ProfShikari Před 12 dny

    My word Joey, that was an absolute beauty of a repair, from something that seemed an utter lost cause from the get go, to an item that has escaped being sent to landfill, all through your knowledge and sheer determination (and the guys in the Discord of course).
    Watching you do these repairs really makes me wish I could do the same, maybe in the future I will have the time to sit and tinker with things and acquire the relevant knowledge, so I too can help keep tech from landfill, until then I shall simply watch in awe as you do what you do best

      I'm an eBay seller myself and on most broken items I make no effort to find out what's wrong, not worth the time, if it doesn't work it's listed for parts. I would assume that the seller just plugged it in, concluded it didn't work, and thus listed it for parts, nothing wrong with that

  • @ashleybignell2366
    @ashleybignell2366 Před 13 dny +4

    Difficult one but advertising spares or repairs would suggest it's likely a doner console but maybe repairable. If it was just labelled as faulty with 'does not turn on or no image' that would suggest it's repairable. But i'm in no doubt the seller knew what he was selling & listed as such to cover his backside.

  • @KyleSand
    @KyleSand Před 12 dny

    I've cooked some ICs (usually a PCH) with temperatures that high when reflowing after reball. Recommend heating from the bottom until the board reaches 150C then come from the top with temperatures until the IC reflows keeping the top air under 260C (leaded balls melt and flow around 190-200c). maximizes succcess by minimize possible damage due to heat. a good cheap preheater helps with this job. ( I use the T8280, can be somewhat slow, but solid, the new quick 861 pro has awesome/accurate temperature control now too)

    As an Ebay business seller myself selling consoles I don't open them up and diagnose issues. I sell as is with basic tests. I buy 30+ Consoles a week amongst 200 other items and don't have the time to test faulty stuff so sell as is.
    Alot of time ebay business sellers get absolutely destroyed from returns as we get so many returns based on selling items Spares or Repairs when a buyer assumes we've tested or know issues with our broken stuff we sell.
    Love the channel but like u said the business seller has 2k+ reviews. They probably in same boat as me. Buying joblots at auction cheap and sell on with basic testing

    Great job, Joey! Also, you've shown the best possible way of tackling such a huge job: going at it one step at a time (repairing the fan connector, replace the southbridge, etc.). You didn't get discouraged at all even though this may have looked like a deal breaker to start with. Could it be useful data to check for a faulty/blown southbridge by measuring the test pad? I can imagine it will not always show the same results but it just might help track down issues with the southbridge a little sooner. Other than that it is so nice to see how far you have come on this journey, something you can be really proud of.

    Joey you should make the new wire-pads more longer and then put uv resin in both sides. I think it could be more easier to solder and more stronger.

    On another channel I saw that he covered the whole wire with conformal and then scrapped away to reveal the wire, makes the wire more stable
