Has DK Oldies Changed?

Has DK Oldies Changed? About a year ago I bought a "refurbished" NES from DK Oldies for a review video. I was less than impressed with their "refurbishing" but it's been a year so I decided to give it another try. To make it more of a fair review, I also bought a used PS4 from eBay so I can compare the two.

I think this might be the first ever confirmation for a small ad in a video.. I can 100% confirm that the BW-100 works WONDERS. Back in February, my Halo 5 Elite 2 Controller started having issues. Bumpers stopped working, weird stick drifting/locking, and my A button wasn't firing OR would double fire. I watched your original Elite 2 repair video, so I bought the BW-100, and the Repair kit you always use. After an hour of trying to take it apart 😂, I got in and used the BW.. and never had an issue until literally 2 days ago, same issues. So it's time to clean again!! LOL Honestly guys, the stuff works, and the tool kit is extremely impressive and handy. Also.. that "Thermal Paste" was sus as hell. 😂😂😂😂😂

Great as always, glad your treatment is going well. Regarding the controller, I have found that if they are completely out of battery charge, they may take around 15-20mins to actually let you use it since there is no charge for it to do anything (even plugged in) Strange I know but that is my findings...

[@Tronicsfix]

Interesting. I haven't noticed that. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip

[@rodmunch69]

@@Tronicsfix I believe this to be correct as well - I know when I've broken out old PS4 controllers I haven't used in a long time, they have to charge for a while before you can use them at all, even wired. I don't think it's 15 minutes, but certainly at least 5 minutes or so.

[@amak1131]

@@amak1131 yes, I just meant wired in terms of getting power - not communication. I know, personally, I've dealt with this more than a few times over the years.

@@fayelinae That sounds plausible. A technician may have tested it and put a cross in the box to indicate it wasn't working, only for someone else at a later stage to mistake that for confirming it's been tested and working. It's not an excuse though. Not having a process in place to prevent mistakes like that happening and shipping people broken stuff is in practice just as bad for a supposedly serious business.

I refuse to buy from them. DK sucks. Overpriced for junk. Idk how they are still in business.

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

Just a nit-pick, that first console wasn't sold or refurbished by eBay - it came from a seller ON eBay. There are plenty of honest sellers who use that platform. Having said that, these are two examples of how not to run a business. Sadly I'm experiencing more and more of this lately. Don't know if it's people trying to squeeze out every last cent of a sale in this economy or what.

Good luck to you, Steve！You are awesome and I love your positivity!!!

[@Wilderidoku]

I havent been by your channel in awhile and i was very concerned by your new appearance. I just got done reading the updates on your website and am very happy to see your treatment went well. I really enjoy your videos and hope you continue to recover. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@corymerry3399]

Didnt trust dk before and i 10000% dont now. They just seem like low life scalpers

[@dwanehubbard2935]

I hope you returned the console to the ebay seller and left them negative feedback so people know how crappy of a seller they are so they don't keep scamming people with their false narrative of condition

[@willybeezy2775]

Thank you for everything you do. I've learned a lot from watching your videos / tutorials. I've repaired not only my systems but a couple of friends systems as well and happy to say with no issues at all. I got the proper tools. I understand what to do and what not to do and I enjoy what I'm doing. The complexity of it all is what I really enjoy. Thank you for making such professionally thorough content. Hope you're doing well. Take care.

[@psychodad4434]

BW100 saved my steam deck. The volume up button was stuck making permanent contact. Steam said I was just out of warranty. So I opened it up, BW100'd inside the volume up microswitch and it cleaned it right up.

[@taacky]

Wild, only ever have seen the DKOldies channel in passing through shorts and that was like a few years ago, now I work at a beer store in PA and the main DKOldies guy comes in and is a regular, never realized it was him until a coworker pointed him out.

[@Slimesteveo]

man you are so strong I had stage 4 testicular cancer a while back and seeing you keep working and doing what you love makes me so happy keep up the good fight if a bump like me could get over that I know for a champing like you this will be nothing

[@GD_MoonBlister]

Wow, First off great video and thanks for sharing! I cannot believe that DK sold that console the way it is even if it has a warranty. So they cleaned it up nice but it does not work without repairs. That is like going to a vehicle dealership, buying a used car that is cleaned up nice and turns over but you cant drive it off as it has no 1st gear, no coolant missing motor mounts & etc! I mean common, DK Oldies should never of sent that unit out. Shame on them and their quality control is lacking. Just another reason you still cant really put trust into people or business. Thankfully there are still people like yourself that show us viewers content like this and show it how it really is! Thank you again and hope you are on the upswing!!

[@Captain_Bollacks]

this is why alot of us learn how to fix consoles ourselves and sell them to friends :) even better when you have videos like yours as a guide btw i hope your doing well my man keep up the good work and keep fighting the fight, we ALL are rooting for you!!

[@MattyMadDog10]

so much respect for you! be well! thank you for making amazing content while dealing with something greater! Safety!

[@Levin_Pilot_246]

Man, the DK Oldies one, was far more unforgiving: 1.- Toasted Laser Driver 2.- Nonfunctional Controller 3.- Missing screws 4.- Missing thermal pads in the RAM chips 5.- Ridiculously skyrocketed price Ebay PS4 console 1.- Deep scuffs 2.- Missing thermal pads in the RAM chips 3.- Quite dirty, but still functional controller Conclusion: Go for Ebay consoles, and part items, they are much resonable service, sure, there are oversights, and mixed reviews. But at least we get what we normally we pay for 2nd hand items, we all human, we often make mistakes, but for the case of DK oldies, not learning from their mistakes? Is like stepping on someone's toes, but we keep pressing that toe over and over, and never let it go off from it... 😂😂😂
