Game Store Wanted to Sell ME a PS5! S1:E63

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I can see a few people are confused so firstly I apologise. The game store had tried to repair it themselves and weren’t able to, they offered to sell me the console so I could fix it and sell it on.

[@thadofalltrades]

I replaced a thumb stick on an Xbox One controller last night. First ever time using a soldering iron. Went really well.

[@Darksydakiller]

You got this! I haven't even watched the video. But you for sure got this!!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Darksy, thank you as always ❤

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

It always amazes me how far you have come. I remember your first videos and thus is totally different. Great job!

[@seguramlk]

Awesome job, Joey. That kind of meticulous work is NO JOKE. Hats off

[@adriannp.]

16:00 Very good Advice Joey, and nice "wild" repair. GG 🎉

[@MegaHellstrike]

16:00 You're god damn right you make it look easy! You inspired me to try and fix my Logitech G502 mouse by soldering in new switches, a process that I have ROYALLY messed up because soldering (or rather desoldering) is much harder than it seems haha Might try it again some day, but at least my soldering skills were good enough to solder on new fans for PC power supplies when I was flipping cheap gaming PCs

[@colinboneham7387]

When you said a massive Shout out for today sponsor I thought for a split second thought you were going to name drop the shop that sold it you…..haha

[@logothaironsides2942]

I love that tip with the flux braid.

[@Lazyman1975]

Ive found if you can fit your wire inside the via it is easier to solder as it stays in place better. Years of drinking made me not super stable but I don't drink anymore. I teach myself better ways. Ive definitely learned something as I would have never thought of using solder wick for new mounting pads... Thank you.

[@pedareloaded]

Good work. But as a quick reminder, the Ground Pin on the connector is the actual electrical ground connection. Those two pads at the side of the connector are only mechanical and have no electrical connection to any pins inside the connector. So you can actually getting away with soldering the electrical pads of the connector and glue it on the board, but if you just solder the tabs on the side the fan will have no ground connection and wont work.

[@Roy_C4]

why does a wire appear at 7:22 on the via as you cut that second trace lol....

[@highroyds]

I think I speak for a lot of people who follow you, that you are an inspiration to us all. I will also say that we get a lot of members in the discord saying 'sorry for asking a stupid question' But there are never stupid questions when you're learning. If you don't ask, you wont find out... members in the discord are ALWAYS happy to help, so if you need advice, join Joeys Discord - link is in the description !!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Appreciate you Roy 😊

[@NeXXyD]

Great fix! Love the creativity to fix the solder pads =D

[@AtSFG]

Gotta love Joeys encouragement for people to keep on trying to get things fixed even when it goes wrong.. Just gonna say Y09..

[@wesley071177]

Hey Joey. I find using 0.5 or 0.35 solder balls does the trick with via's. Just a little flux and hot air, soldering iron is too big 👍. Keep up the good work.

[@danielhulan3058]

Solder braid as a ground pad.... genius!

[@ajaks7636]

Great Repair and Video! Thank You. 😀

[@retroflipper]

Great skills. I’ve learn a lot of techniques from watching your videos.

[@edlowry1]

Great work ,very interesting method too. You should show how small these pads are without the microscope so people don't try this at home 😂

[@fredericmeunier7988]

Awesome! Great job Joey!

[@UrbanCha0s]

@joeyDoesTech - I've only just started playing with soldering and removing SMD components. I removed a few Samsung IC Chips from a donor GC I had. But just before I was able to remove them from the board I heard a pop noise. Does this mean the chip is ruined now? I using a Atten ST-862D heat gun, what is the best Temp & Air flow?

[@davidh1187]

It worries me that both power and data pin wires on the fan trace fix extended over the top of the ground plane - a future short waiting to happen....

[@krtgiroto]

Great job Joey.

[@KorAllRBare]

*TIP* With Via's you can pass a wire through, if the wire don't fit connect a short length of wire to a mini drill and pinch the wire end at an angle to make a point and place point into the Via and slowly screw it through "using the inertia of the drill" to the other side and enough to solder it down on the other side. *WARNING* This will only work for Via's going completely through to the other side.. APU👁👍

[@mrfr0g2007]

Well done!

[@pugmandan215]

Joey, I have a HDMI splitter I purchased off Aliexpress that I am no longer using and strips HDCP from HDMI. It is yours for free if it would help you?

[@mdz_0151]

Great fix Joe 👍👍

[@tommiekebab1929]

Well joey, this was your masterpiece.

[@BigBaddaBoom]

Excellent video, yet again.

[@DavidMadeira29]

I don't think that Honda would make that big difference from where we started going wrong with the sandbox story. Namastè.

[@BigBaddaBoom]

I heard there is a charity stream this weekend and that you will be wearing a bunny suit for the occasion.

[@ferry9635]

Can't you also try to sell locally or on other websites? Anything to reduce Ebay Fees? Just list on both and if it sells faster on something else.. remove the fees. Or make your own website with repaired consoles.

[@jonathannovak132]

Sally is looking happy lol

[@homsey2011]

They asked you to fix it but you payed 75 for it? That makes no sense lol

[@IPlayVidyaGames]

Wouldn't make a catchy click worthy title

[@tylorpwnsall]

Is this something you really can’t understand? They know he fixes it them on KZbin so they asked him to buy it from them and fix it so they can see how to fix that mistake themselves in the future.

[@logothaironsides2942]

When he said that at the beginning I thought they meant, buy it for 75 for the parts if its unfixable, if you mend it, they buy it back.. However at the end he sounds like he will sell it himself, either way he wins.

[@shaunmorrissey7313]

@@tylorpwnsall clearly you don't

[@Lazyman1975]

The tech's that tried are not tech's. Ive broken things but always managed to repair. I rarely break things now from learning. My recent repairs were a micro usb port, and a computer power supply. Working on 2 Xbox ones and a couple different ds from Nintendo atm. Hdmi ports are fun to me.

[@LeoThompson-ek6zu]

Another great vid bunnyboy.

[@154_C4]

sell on vinted 0 percent fee and buyer pays shipping

[@wrcaruci]

The repair shop offered to sell him a PS5 they couldn't fix to him for $75. They thought he could try fixing it for content on his channel, I think it helps the shop by clearing out irreparable stock. I don’t understand you people that say how can the shop offers the ps5 to him and asked him to pay for it just $75. It is a win-win deal.

[@Samsemillya]

When it comes to redoing traces, Toltec merc is still the goat 🐐. But you did fine joey

[@jonathanmartin3375]

I'm confused. Why does this go into Sally's spreadsheet if you're fixing it for a game store? Wouldn't it just go back to the customer?

[@JamieMcJammyd22]

He said he paid £75 for it, I'm assuming they messed it up and reached out to Joey.

[@jonathanmartin3375]

@@JamieMcJammyd22 Good shout, I totally missed that part. Thanks!

[@robertregister2172]

The fact that a business trusted you with a console just proves how good you are at what you do

[@unknownguy6402]

What the hell was this store doing to try and fix this board? It looks an absolute mess!

[@colinboneham7387]

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

[@JFIXX1]

Better than factory !

[@frankiehensley2928]

Here's the $64.000 question why was it opened in the 1st place? To warrant 2 broken connectors..🤔🤔🤔

[@jarnobot]

It's normal and even recommended to open up computers/most modern consoles for cleaning (and replacing thermal paste if applicable), so my guess is cleaning

[@tiggydorset9041]

A quality fix

[@codenamev5659]

@JoeyDoesTech So according to you, it felt good going in :) ,ha ha ,nice video Joey, keep those videos coming :)

[@SnipesXxX]

Probably asked him to fix it and he just ended up buying it.

[@CaptSpeirsB744]

Congratulations fixing a butchered PS5. They need to fire the gorilla there that works on consoles.
