I love it when people keep mistakes in the vids. Makes me feel better when I do something dumb.

[@timballam3675]

Yes I thought you had put it on upside down, especially when you said you normally work on them the other way up 😂

[@robert1975031]

I was screaming when you put the chip on upside down after that thing rocketed off the board. but that's the good thing about being a component repair guy. nice to see these brought back to life. now if only someone can figure out that xbox SSD issue...

[@Sergei-King]

Same here hahahaha!

[@lukedavis436]

"ye mums probably calling you for tea" *i just KNEW that was directed at me Phil!* 😂

[@TheCod3r]

Haha you know it posh boy 😂

[@MikeGervasi]

You put the pie chip upside down twice. Once before retinning and then again after. WHAT is going on with you, mate??

[@RBKing80]

Pi3 chip

[@Xorthis]

He had so many chances to see the mistake... It was obvious the first time he flipped it. And then he added power, oh god.

[@djlancematthew]

What I learned today: 1. Don’t put chips on upside down. 😂

[@123simion1989]

Thanks for sharing mate. Amazing story... it's cool how you've come through and out the other side as a success. I'm sure this will inspire others. Nice one 👍

[@ajaks7636]

I got it right, 10 points! Great repair. Thank you. 😀

[@LKBRICKS1993]

Great video, so exiting to watch.

[@PetLaughs888]

Love the video Phil!

[@polygaryd]

Saw the chip was wrong orientation the second he put it down on the board. I was waiting for him to fix it before powering on and he didnt. I really wanted to see if the chip was still going to work after he fixed its orientation.

[@CooLDEaFY4204Me]

😂

[@tariqmahmood7026]

Hi phil. Thanks for the email that you received the ps5 I was panicking that it got lost

[@coribee3799]

the pi chip is in the wrong direction twice 😂😂 dude 😅😅

[@trevorjones5625]

Good job mate. Commments also add to the algorythm as well.

[@Chrisj-Pops]

Nice fix. you love putting the chips upside down 😂

[@beverlyhyso7553]

we all make mistakes but atleast you caught it your still very good at what you do, i hope to be atleast half as good as you.

[@andrewshearstone1101]

I was shouting at the vid as soon as u put the new chip on its the wrong way up lol

[@Nebbia_affaraccimiei]

14:27 everyone screaming at the screen, ITS UPSIDE DOWN!!!

[@johnnanlavis1135]

I always watching you and tronics fix I like your accent although sometimes I didn't barely understand.

[@valdo__1154]

I was wondering how long he was gonna take to notice.

[@jamesjames2761]

Did you have a link for the micro-pencil?

[@dodgydruid]

Beats my £17 Switch, was told it wasn't working properly and it didn't dock but when I got it here and put some joycons on, worked perfectly fine thing is my dock is also not working so cannot test its docking capability anymore, put in a new battery and got to change the SD card reader as the one on it errors but plays all day and nite as a standalone and I do keep meaning to send it and dock to your good self but other finances get in the way all the time lol

[@TheRealBobHickman]

The arrow on the PCB and the dot on the chip denote pin 1 :p

[@frankurmom8741]

You offer 10 points after ive already been screaming its upside down for 5 minutes.

[@Dbain]

use a rubber band with stripped screws, place the band down on the screw and then the screw driver and it will give you and edge

[@andrewhenderson3593]

Nevermind good vid as usual phill 😂

[@0errab0]

Question: My Buddy formatted his SSD on his spare Xbox Series X (The unit was broken, it needed a new HDMI encoder chip). I told him to send it in for repair somewhere but he kept saying that there must be something simple wrong with it and ended up formatting the SSD. Is there anyway to pair the console with a new ssd?

[@TheCod3r]

Sadly not. It's game over for that console mate. There's really no gentle way to break that to you unfortunately 😞

[@0errab0]

@@TheCod3r Thank you

[@Irilia_neko]

Use a flat screen bits when you have partially rounded screw head 😉

[@MK-qo1rz]

I noticed the chip went on the wrong way after it blew away easy done when you realise the size of the chip, 😅

[@joshgaertig6294]

Try using a rubber band between screw and screwdriver

No

[@Spacebadger]

Hi , I've sent you an email on your repair site about a macbook pro a1502 , I hope that's the way to contact you lol ?

[@milowadlin]

What do I do with my 10 points?

[@angelodagnolo984]

I love watching you work, but the constant adds drive me up the wall! I detest adverts grrr! 😣

[@TheCod3r]

Sorry bud, I don't control the ads, youtube places them automatically. I use KZbin premium so I don't see them personally but if I deleted mid roll ads I'd lose my main source of income

[@Mik_S]

I think the chip is upside down, it got flipped when it blew away the first time. Edit: yup thought so. I'll claim my 10 points now.

[@tibielias]

He also pushed the big capacitor to the side a bit. He was lucky that it still had contact.

[@calexandru25]

The cip is backward

[@HowardMatthews]

Maybe just me. But find it very ann that you change the thumbnail style on your videos.

[@randallbro6749]

I'm cheap and like repair videos

[@leebiker1488]
