Trying to Fix FAULTY Items on eBay for a Profit! S1:E101

[@Milion23]

This is the longest series I've ever watched, so enertaining and educational been here since episode 1

[@n4_ku]

He had a huge profit last week that he refused to count as Profit or Loss. He doesn't want the season to end.

[@Milion23]

@@n4_ku he said he wouldn't count it towards profit or loss if it was a big video. He made a community poll and stated that.

Nothing helps me relax more at night than joey saying: 430 degrees with an airflow speed of 50% Loving every episode of the series joey!

[@iGilmourx]

These were sold by myself & were customer returns. we sold them as is and I’m happy Joey is getting some content out of them :)

[@AlexanderHayward88]

Only found you last week and I've binged watched the videos of this fixing and selling them on absolutely loving the videos keep it up joey

[@Morscode_Gaming]

subs are climbing rapidly!! keep up the great work Joey :)

[@Ryan4bear]

Joey uploading at dinner time is my favorite thing in my day haha

[@UkdangermanRepairs]

"ahhhhh it's got a case of the EWTS" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Promethium666]

JOOOOOOOEY! I LOVE YOU BRO, I really enjoy your content, its comforting!

[@romeeok-4379]

19:27 - looks like one of the pads in the lower left part was not wicked fully (no idea if that can cause problems with APU alignment but I wanted to point it out :) )

[@robinshim9671]

I like how you always say "somethink"

[@colinboneham7387]

Sally is saying “what you playing at Joey, get the 1k please”, good practise on the reball.

[@zachdemarco1600]

Any day that you learn something new is still a good day, wonderful job finding a new way to reball the APU, hopefully next time the new techniques work just as well and fix the problem

[@malafor7454]

Joey on the second apu i noticed in the top right corner there was what looked like rust damage . Either way another great vid .

[@MizuhoChan]

Some you win, some you lose. I bought a switch with joycons, dock and psu for £50, then sold the switch and joycons for £110 after fixing the SL/SR buttons on both joycons and cleaning it all up. I'm keeping the dock and psu for another switch I have that I put in new clear purple shells, blue led's on the SL/SR and hall effect sticks.

[@ajaks7636]

Great Attempts, Great Video! The Always entertaining JDT! For your next series, you could call it "Holy cow, I fixed it!". Thank You.

[@Dtr146]

Do you ever check the model numbers of the switches you sell? Some of those switches like the one in the very first of your video is a hackable switch, which genuinely sells for more because it is hackable.

[@Shandleyman]

For the fist one, when you are using the thermal camera, the delta T is like 7 degrees. As a thermographer, I might call that residual heat but only you would know how long it's been. Further, you can't take a thermal image of a metal (generally speaking but for sure in this case). The reflective properties are much to high to capture any emissivity. That's why there is heat shown only on the edges of the APU. To capture the emissive properties of the die, put a piece of electrical tape (colour doesn't matter but CUT it off the roll, don't pull to snap) on it and you will have close to a 0.95 black body that is better at showing thermals than even the circuit board or other non-metallic components..

[@codytheserg8186]

Been binge watching for a week now. I have been doing small simple repairs like changing batteries and such and in devices like Nintendo switch. Just ordered stuff to do what you do. What types of repairs would you recommend I look for to start out and also where to acquire items. So far I’m mainly looking for charging port replacement devices. Also subscribed

[@enchantededition6879]

Great video I like to see the on the fly problem solving. Question: Does dry paste have flux in it? Never tried it.

[@paytonely7694]

16:55 I legit said “thank you Joey” 😂😂😂

[@RedRaccoon69]

on the first switch there is a really blackened cap next to the BQ chip. take a look at it if you did not sell it already.

[@austinwhitney1362]

It would probably be worthwhile to test the switches that show nothing on screen but pull charge with something like tegrarcmgui to see if they are just in autorcm mode expecting a boot payload from a prior soft mod. It exhibits the exact same behavior if that is the case. maybe not the case with this switch, but possible for some others like the last switch episode.

[@rectify2003]

Well done

[@ColaBeGaming]

The APU jumped quite a bit on the initial put down, I'd guess maybe half a row, hopefully it jumped the right way, any way to check the outer pins in the direction it jumped?

[@TheM0nkeyBomb]

Opened KZbin and clicked your video first 😊

[@xConundrumx]

My bet is this will go to episode 999 and you have to upgrade your episode counter again :)

[@fredpsyche9502]

The Max IC supplying power to the APU may also cause a blue screen. To align the APU before resoldering it, there is an almost invisible tiny square in the top left corner. Max magnification and light are necessary to pinpoint it 😊

[@Notgonna13]

@joeydoestech what's in for S2 ? Maybe fixing other types of devices? Phones, tablets, laptops?

[@prajwalsanap9335]

Joey love ur videos , Just watched the 10 switch episode

[@lukaradomirovic6403]

greetings from Serbia Joey

[@alahmadjo]

Idea for next episode "double it or lose it" starting from 1000

[@govid1952]

Spoiler: PcbWay sponsor

[@kriegerrrrr]

😱

[@Ahmed_Jawad137]

Damn 101 episodes have been here even before profit or loss

[@leacompton]

Hi mate, enjoy your videos. I was just wondering where do you buy your replacement switch thumb stick caps from. I just brought some and they're rubbish

[@raximusstudios7817]

Never log in here but I wanted to hit that subscribe button for you.

[@jamesk9375]

I was really hoping the reball would be successful. Great video either way though

[@pedrohcs8]

Time to get a reball jig from china, those make reballs much faster and easier, stencils for them are standard sizes. Getting a preheated would be good as well for resoldering the chips

[@shadowfrost44]

Dang hate to see a full loss

[@adzinoolol]

day 2 of asking joey for his fluke multimeter.

[@hogler249]

HELLO! complete noob here but is it not possible to reball an APU by just running solder over the back of the chip and, with a generous amount of flux, the pads should soak up the solder and, with a bit of time, eventually the chip will be soldered where needed? Or is this completely ridiculous and you will always need a stencil for this kind of job?

[@MIKEG316]

Why don't you use an under or pre heater?

[@jackbauer2698]

Petition to call Season 2 "Profit or Toss" - "Where I purchase faulty items from ebay and try to fix them for profit. And if I can't I toss them out the gd window." ;)

[@general23cmp]

JDT, why do some live streams go private and some don’t? I enjoy watching them later if I miss one.

[@hmartinlb]

Would it be worth to have an alignment block machined out of metal to help with positioning of the APU chip with the shield as a datum? And since you're sponsored by pcbway it's free anyway haha

[@archael18]

I love this series but I think I'd love it a whole lot more if we were more determined to find the solution instead of reselling as faulty. I would not mind at all if the video was longer because of it either.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Understandable and that’s something I used to do, but with Profit or Loss the whole idea is to make a profit ☺️

[@RawTactics1]

Hey Joey, I listed a rtx 3060 12gb model on ebay. I got it when I was working at a tech recycling center about a year ago. The card was unopened until I tested and replaced paste. Before and after that, the card immediately heats up and crashes the system within a few seconds or few minutes if you're lucky. Want to take a look at it?

[@TheSpotify95]

0.46A or 0.47A with no display usually means the CPU is kaput, which means not fixable, so its probably best to just sell it on. At least you didn't pay much for it.

[@Saivishal-bs6rt]

there was a rop pad under the apu 5th row from right and 10th co;umn

[@MikeG-rh1lk]

Dangling in mid air is not the best way to solder 😁

[@johndoe-kz8zt]

still good job

[@ROKEY88]

Blue screen doesn't always means APU problem ... Might be the screen itself is then problem ....

[@Mobin92]

I don't understand what the point of reballing is. Can't you just reflow it with flux as it is?

[@-_-Thomas-_-.]

21:48 max problem 90%

[@chris_diab]

How did we invent all of this in like 100 years damn

[@ifindmetal]

It sure looked like two balls were still on board when you dropped the chip on it

[@criton3087]

Almost 1st settle for third

[@skochin]

I watched about 15-20 videos and in summary it comes to this: if it’s not hdmi or usb-c connectors that are broken, there is no chance to fix any of those consoles. None of reballing reflowing and other things helped. Same with tronixfix, all his vids are basically clean ups or case swaps or just hdmi replacements for 1000 times

[@n4_ku]

Nah, he goes a little more in depth than Tronixfix. Watch again. Try the coder.

[@skochin]

@n4_ku and none of it helped fixing actually non working systems. It's pretty consistent across his vids. watch again.

[@n4_ku]

@@skochin I've been watching for years. You are the one who's new here.

[@Oxytropis1]

BQ, M92, fuel gauge, and FPC swaps, while no where near 100%, do have quite a high success rate as well.

[@Banananasnsn]

Often it does feel like this, but there are certainly exceptions, such as episode 79 :)

[@andersandersen6930]

It looks like there are 3 ripped pads on the APU pad (not the chip), im not an expert though :)

[@absentmindedstudios]

101 episodes for 1k profit is wild. unfortunately youtube channels like this ruined this trade. Not your fault, you're late to the game and I won't mention any names... but back in 2017 you could make a living on this. Now broken systems and retro games are sold for barely under working condition because sellers know a youtuber might be buying, or someone is gonna try to fix it and profit. I was fixing NES=N64 carts in 2015 and making a few hundred a week just in side cash for fun. Just replacing batteries half the time in pokemon games to fix "save data won't stay saved". Back then not many folks knew these fixes. KZbin really ruined so many markets but i will still enjoy watching these videos 😅

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

9 comments already?

[@antbuch8699]

Where does he buy the switches? On ebay cost a lot more seems weird

[@ChknHugga]

Am I the only one that thought the package looked like a block of C4?

[@AlojzJakob]

i thought those 8/10 switches made it over 1k??

[@Xueli_Wardevil]

It was not a profit or loss episode

[@VampyRagDoll]

I’m crossing my fingers Joey.

[@joelste]

Joey likes bunnies

[@seanwilson7740]

Who ordered the stickers ??😂

[@HamedAdefuwa]

please no Nintendos in this one! :D

bro is struggling to make a profit 😭😭

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

-- Spoiler saver Today you wheren't lucky, but mabye next time.

[@Leeh187]

I think you Jinx yourself everytime you say "we will could hit £1000 in this video" :) Im pretty sure you make a loss in each video you say those words mate. Great series though, very much enjoying it.

[@Electricworld-1]

❤🎉

[@loekeharie]

first

[@eidodk]

At some point in time, you should realize that Nintendo switches are loss purchases. I haven't seen you make a profit on any videos with Nintendo switches in them.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I just uploaded a video working with 10 Nintendo Switches and made a lot of profit :)

[@eidodk]

@@JoeyDoesTech And that addicted you. You got lucky - that's how casinos hook people.

[@AndyTriesFixing]

Love the videos mate. ❤ (MaxDoubt)

[@RazMaster01]

The only thing that I personally disklike about channels like this is that they say Faulty electronics and they buy same stuff every video I'd like diversity and would enjoy stuff like broken GPUs broken laptops and even peripherials Love from D
