4:09 You could've tested continuity between the supposed bad trace points and confirmed that there is actual trace rot. I did that for C4 and C5 when I had a huge black streak across them, but the wire underneath was still intact. No bad vibes, just my input, great video and detailed shots!

True, this xbox has several issues so I already knew stuff was messed up with it. Thanks.

[@adamsvette]

what microscope do you use/camera

[@techhoarder3010]

www.ebay.com/itm/312246128636 It's a great camera. This is 180x zoom. The only thing about it is it came with a counterfeit microsd card so if you record footage like I do, scan the card first, mine said this 4gb card was 500mbs. I upgraded the card to 8gbs and it's been working great ever since.

Are there any wire types that you would recommend against? Or perhaps the reason you should use a certain type? EDIT: e.g. kynar or tinned copper. I've got no idea 😅

[@techhoarder3010]

I use 30 gauge kynar wire as it was recommended to me. I tried using some other wire I believe it was tinned copper wire but struggled with it.

[@Gaegplays]

@@techhoarder3010 ~What did you struggle with? Only asking because I got tinned copper to try this with, but I've not seen anyone else use it. I'll buy a different type of wire else hah

[@techhoarder3010]

If I remember right, I don't think the solder would bond to it. Is the wire you got insulated?

[@Gaegplays]

@@techhoarder3010 Oh right. Yeah, the one I have is insulated
