Fixing BROKEN eBay Electronics for Profit | Profit or Loss S1:E37

[@just-another-guy]

Nice to see things turning around dude. Good save.

[@juliancichy1916]

Gets 1p in profit "and that's a wrap for season 1 of profit and loss, join us next week for season 2" 😂

[@leemajors3834]

Hope you left appropriate feedback for them as too many people are selling "untested" consoles knowing that they are scrap as they've tried to fix with no skills..

[@BMANZZS]

18:00 loved that reference to TronicsFix!! Lmao

[@ziptiesify]

Glad to see some profit after that streak of losses, keep it up!

[@McTAnGuS]

What a fantastic episode today always look forward to these.

[@icenode]

I'm astounded that PS5 is working, that liquid metal everywhere was like a conductive horror movie. This series is so much fun and gave me the confidence to work on my own Switch and other trickier soldering. I'd love a quick guide video or two on things you've learned, like the right tip for different jobs, using a multimeter to troubleshoot, maybe top 10 helpful items on your bench. So many guides assume existing experience, whereas you started from square one and we've been on that journey with you.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Great ideas! Thankyou :)

[@carmelpr12]

I like the new thumbnail style. Nice to see you growing and getting bigger. Hope for some profit.

[@MissFoxification]

Try a solder sucker for liquid metal, put a bit of tissue in it, that should get it from under chips/between caps/etc.

[@virgildeklerk]

Nice to see green again Joey. I've never seen a Ps5 like this wow and amazing it still works just wow. Great content

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

I was so overwhelmed by this fix "Oh yes!! Nice one!" Just hit me. Finally a fix after all those bad luck items and it was the worst of all.. crazy!

[@pabloemms]

Great result Joey and a lesson in never giving up. Sally will be pleased !

[@GavinColbourne]

Not sure if you do controller repairs but yesterday I purchased a Red PS5 controller from Cash Converters in Shirley, Southampton (knowing you are fairly local) for £20 that had a R2 issue where it wasn't working and within 15 minutes of disassembling to check for physical issue where there wasn't and then reassembling to find that the R2 was actually working fine. Whilst I love my Xbox Elite series 2 controller this £20 PS5 controller is a great addition where they normally sell for around £40-£50 secondhand.

[@michagajowniczek2135]

I'm shocked how calm you are after flooding your motherboard with liquid metal you make great videos!

[@imod.systems]

The SOC on the Switch is married to the nand. You can use donor prod keys, but that would require you installing a mod chip. The donor prod keys would cause the device to be banned from using internet connected services.

[@JocularJack]

Love it! Never thought I would subscribe to a channel with a guy who just solders over and over, but I keep coming back for more. At the end of this season, you should make a bill listing with the unfixable items and sell them as a lot, then add the sale price to the total season P&L. Keep it up Joey, only been watching for 9 months but your skills have taken leaps and bounds in that time alone.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou, appreciate that a lot :) That sounds like a great idea, but would take ALOT of work haha.

[@richardkaprielian1633]

Well done Joey, I think you've turned the corner now and are on a winning streak

[@jody19027]

Love your content keep up the amazing work!

[@jekojelqzkov7084]

I'm so glad you made it this time, I told you in the previous video that it wouldn't last. I wish you the next video even more profit. 🎉🎉🎉

[@treddy85au]

Joey being t-rex at the start might be good luck

[@TheSpotify95]

Good to see a profit on that PS5, I thought it was a total goner after seeing the condition of the liquid metal! Methinks part of the liquid metal was shorting components together, which is why it is better to use thermal paste instead (even if it has worse cooling abilities). IMO, Sony should have designed this console to use thermal paste instead. Also, I guess the replacement parts were taken from donor consoles that were recently from minus episodes?

[@TheMadFlasher]

A step in the right direction! Cheers

[@Mymatevince]

Great video Joey 👍

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks mate ❤️

[@sean9595]

Am glad your luck is chaining 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Mrflash222006]

I have done a lot of Gamegear's, MD2's, and SNES's, and my hit rate is about 70%. The Game Gear is particularly bad for faulty displays and spares are very hit and miss unless you go with something like a McWill then you get very few people who will stump up the money when they are done - that launchpad should be a simple fix

[@Unjustself]

I commented before that I bought the ammeter through your links. Great piece of kit!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Oh amazing! Thanks for the support :)

[@wo88les]

Fantastic video! This is the start of good things mate :) well done!!!!

[@Maw4Play]

Great video!

[@QWERTYQwertz852]

Im Glad to see Profit!

[@godzzchildren]

Pleased you finally made a profit can’t wait to see you on the up now 🎉

[@CTCTraining1]

Great save Joey!😁 Just wondering if you could use a vacuum to draw out spilled liquid metal? Keep up the great work 😀👍

[@crackedfrost]

You got incredibly lucky. Congratulations!

[@Emjay1979]

Nice luck... I'm glad to see some profit :D

[@Mxtt_Hxll]

Joey, that PS5 was a miracle resurrection!

[@SmithBeatZ1]

Certain model PS5s had an issue with the liquid metal leaking out the seal and shorting consoles out. I never use liquid metal in any of the PC builds or console refurbishments I do.

[@paulmawhorter2713]

Yes! You did it! I believe you are at the beginning of a comeback.

[@nofelmahmood5170]

Really love the new thumbnail

[@tonyrgnash]

My order of the anti-static gloves arrived this week, deffo need to get a size larger next time

[@johnczlonka4184]

C’mon Joey, we’re all pulling for you!

[@gubodaniel9523]

I have a CPU that has all of it's corners broken off (Really bad!) and it works.

[@kevinheiberg227]

Great job

[@thadofalltrades]

I feel like it's a serious design flaw that the liquid metal can escape like that if the console is dropped.

[@KeithWagner8]

I felt the pain in this video

[@gregleach4956]

YOU DID IT!!!!!

[@miro_trendafilov]

Yesss, I was hoping you'd upload a video today! Hopefully you'd be able to make Sally Spectacular Spreadsheet happy today!

[@triplexdread]

sally is always happy plus or minus lol

[@oggmonster89]

Congrats man!

[@phynx-victumterra652]

Did you end up leaving that small bit of liquid metal under the apu?

[@mrfr0g2007]

14:33 -- Oof, that's rough 19:22 -- No way did you pull this off Well done!

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

Oh yes!! Nice one!

[@roos7961]

Is liquid metal magnetic? , must be a way to clean up faster if it was..

[@MrTurtlebar]

Rooting for a profit this time!

[@jdude000]

Do you have a multimeter suggestion? I don't see that tool linked

[@NoobSniper]

Man, that PS5 had seen some shit jeez. Great job Joey!!

[@martinmalone6324]

I cracked a gpu corner years agao putting a non oem cooler on a gpu, not nearly as bad as that chip, and it gave me graphical errors on screen, was a lesson learned

[@sfjnet]

Happiest moments in life: 3) your team wins the FA cup; 2) your wedding day; 1) Joey fixes the impossibly wrecked PS5 and actually makes some money 😛

[@JoeyDoesTech]

😂😂😂

[@coolman12329]

the PS5 owner saw the damage ,stressed out and chewed his nails lol .

[@foxdata]

"2 days ago" - I watch your videos, but they haven't been sending me notifications until after a couple days. Just wanted to let you know that my view count comes late, but I'm still here :)

[@alexandrumarianporneala7195]

Yes dude finally a win, GG, keep it up Yeeesssss

[@deanwalkington6165]

Thank god you managed to fix it joey when I saw all that Liquid Metal I thought it was game over

[@cris1735]

Would an ultrasonic cleaner help with removing liquid metal on the ps5?

[@davidcarreiraphotographie4387]

Can liquid metal be removed with an ultrasonic bath (with special product)? GG for the repair ;)

[@nuthouseproductz]

Honestly liquid metal is damn good but at the same time super annoying when it spills or gets places it shouldn't be.

[@VampyRagDoll]

I’m crossing my fingers for you Joey 🤞🏾

[@VampyRagDoll]

Congrats joey and I hadn’t watched the video when I said I was crossing my fingers.

[@DavidMadeira29]

What's the matter, Jason and/or not Jason? What the matter with James? Is Kirk mad about William Butler Yeats?! I don't know. Namastè.

[@cidelogic]

Nice work on the PS5, I really hope the new PS5 "Slims" don't use liquid metal.

[@holyhelga]

liquid metal is real messy even if you know how to handle it

[@PowerVegetal]

holy, my jaw dropped when you flipped that ps5 board

[@JoeyDoesTech]

My life flashed before my eyes!

[@NowInAus]

Awesome! I thought you were fkd with that Liquid Metal but clearly your dedication to Sally and The Cotton Buds pushed you through. So pleased for you

[@jonathanmartin3375]

It was time for a win!

[@tonyrgnash]

At least your spreadsheet is looking better than mine (my supplies also get added too though)

[@radry100]

ok, now I'm pretty sure this is a parody channel.

[@budgetmerch]

Did you see my comment on the previous video telling you what the missing component is? In case you didn't, U5 is a 5 pin mosfet marked ID8242. Please go and fix it... 🙂

[@legobatman8353]

Looks like a T1000 blew it's load all over that board.

[@kennybacchus1488]

Fixing. Broken EBay. Electronics for. Profit. Profit. Or. Loss. S1E37

[@KirbsideCleaning]

I’d buy your cotton buds if it all goes tits up mate 😂

[@oliverhoschi6135]

A cracked corner is not always a dead CPU. Had some cracked corners in the crystal in older AMD cpu´s. sometimes no problem. If the crack is not to big, it should be fine.

[@proesterchen]

I wouldn't feel comfortable selling that board with the liquid metal under the APU. That's just asking for trouble.

[@ressu832]

I'm here in the comments early (before finishing the video) looking for a link to the shop with the cotton buds...

[@LGTechRepairs]

APU & EMMC can be replaced and will work again :)

[@gravedigga71]

Wow, the PS5 was really a mess. Looks to me that the spilling was not only from the drop damage but they added/replaced the liquid metal and used way to much.

[@felicityc]

you know it's real because it's impossible to make extended profit

[@mitchgordon8199]

Join the club, I've been doing appliance and computer repair for thirty years and there's only so much you can do with planed obsolescence and user abuse.

[@HomecockpitsAndMore]

"I need you to cross your fingers" haha guess what I instinctively did straight away

[@legoboy-ox2kx]

That PS5 was rough lol. There's a reason I'm not a big fan of using liquid metal with consumer products haha

[@richgame2331]

MY share mate

[@DarronPotter]

JSC has a nice ring to it Joey, how much for 100 cotton buds, I'm typing this at the start of the video so I don't know the outcome yet, hope it goes well though After video post, that PS5 was bad, but also very good, well done Joey not a complete loss,

[@Samsemillya]

Holy… that this ps5 is running is insane. But that’s why I only get stuff that wasn’t open before 😆

[@dont-want-no-wrench]

whew, you were getting close to having to sell Sally

[@magnus33john]

When you least expect it 🤣

[@parttimegamer5938]

Go on Joey

[@gc4408]

Joey luv ya from across the pond……buy some mega drives( sega genesis)…… $30 us …. Fixed the sell for $80us……. It would be fun f anything

[@seguramlk]

RESULT! (Read this with My Mate Vince's voice) 😂

[@Ladiesman2I77]

The Nintendo lites are so cheaply made. I highly the palkia edition beginning of this year and I hated the feel of it. Sold it and bought the 32GB switch for an extra £100 and it’s totally worth it. Especially since you can hook it up to your tv.

[@CaPtNcApS1]

Wait a second... So... If my ps5 was broken, i could still get ~200€ for it? I always assumed that old electronics just are meant to get thrown away :o

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Yeah faulty ones sell quite well!

[@lselvester]

Woooohoooooo!!!!!

[@alibali4445]

oh my days that ps5 😵‍💫

[@handyman683]

Result

[@tchinounitchou]

i think you need to find a better place than ebay

[@dennisphillips9089]

Stop shaving your head SAMSON!

[@Musaaa1]

PS5 to the save!!
