SERIES X Displaying in 480p | ESD Filter Replacement With HELP From TheCod3r!

[@StezStixFix]

Stupid ESD filter thing

[@vinny142]

Good Dave though!

[@bufordmaddogtannen]

A needle with a bit of flux on the tip should be a better tool to pick and place tiny parts, by leveraging superficial tension. A friend of mine was using this technique when building jewelry.

[@anon_y_mousse]

I was expecting you to get ganked from behind by an invis-Elite and say "stupid Halo".

[@pashiki5480]

The steadiness in your hands is unreal mate. That is intricate work fella ! Love the channel

[@_mylastname]

Can I ask, what size balls do you have? On the ESD ? Are they .2, .25, or .30mm?😊

[@TheCod3r]

Absolutely brilliant Steve! The alignment of the chip was amazing, and even though the stupid chip broke you got some good practice in with reballing them, so that's a win 🏆 great job bud, love it 😀

[@northwestwildcamperssj3671]

I have zero skills with any of what you do,but completely love the way you talk and make your videos.. great job

[@Rukyr99]

This time the singing (especially the Halo outro) outclassed the soldering. Nice.

[@budzillasohoski9858]

Steve. I’m not sure if you’re aware of this but you are extremely talented. You always knock yourself for not being “good” at things but in actuality, you have skills and patience not many others share. I’ve worked on electronics for 30+ years and can’t do or wouldn’t attempt to do the things you do. When you see a chip you’re working on under the microscope, the viewer thinks it’s huge but most don’t realize how unbelievably small these things are. You are brilliant and a blast to watch. Keep up the good work.

[@TheWhteWolf]

I love the cod3r he's the reason we know what most of the error codes mean. The fact he works out of his shead is amazing. He's a self taught legend. He's inspired me to learn. I have always had a nack for fixing things. I could strip and rebuild a Jag V12 engine at 12 years old as I grew up with 4 generations of mechanics. My grandad was an RAF mechanic in WW2 my dad was a mechanic for Jaguar my older brother is a mechanic for BMW and I grew up to work for purgeot. Now I had to give up work due to MS my body is failing me but my mind is still working at 1000% I was diagnosed with autism so i always have to be doing something or I drive my wife crazy taking the microwave apart or something 😂. I just got into fixing electronics I started by repairing my brother's OG Xbox replacing all the caps and modding the fan with a led fan and led ports at the front. I'm starting with older stuff that's easier before going to modern tech. I hate seeing things thrown away so I fix anything from furniture to hoovers, TVs, pc, laptop etc. I have a a garage full of tech that I keep incase I need parts or wires and it has come in handy a few times especially with Dyson hoovers. People will throw them away when they just need a clean or a new tube or seal.

Great Job Steve! NICE!

Congratz on being the first repairer that I've seen replace that chip and still get the 4k to work!

[@KericthePally]

Great video. This is probably the most intimidating thing about microsoldering for me so it's nice to see you do so well on your first attempt. Gives me (some) hope!

[@takashiemota9784]

Amazing fixing Amazing assistant Dave Good job buddy

[@RedDev1l757]

Love the leisure suit Larry reference

[@GameRaveTV]

The patience you have is off the charts. Fantastic re-fix!

[@weehappypixie]

Great video Steve. The easiest way to reball is to use a reball stencil. You can also use solder paste with the stencil.

[@smokie0808]

You are 1 funny man, thanks for putting a smile on my face

[@octymocty132]

Have you tried Kapton tape to try and hold down other chips and try cancell out some heat while using heat gun to solder

[@dimitristamatakis2431]

Great job, really impressed. So far I've fried a Nintendo processor despite beautifully fitting a new USB chip and M92. Over heated the board and now have to break the news to a 9 yr old! This repair game is hard! Hat off to you and of course Phil and all community.

[@colinboneham7387]

Great work Steve, nice 1 Phil.

[@Kaynos]

Hard to believe such a tinny thing is what makes it possible to do higher resolution. Good job Stez.

[@NexisTube]

nearly at 100k, awesome content as always!

[@rciancia]

I wonder who invented those ball chips... it had to be someone who firmly supports castration - Well done mate !!!! That's some micro stuff there.

[@StezStixFix]

🤣 definitely! Thanks Ron, much appreciated! 👍

[@theforthdoctor7872]

I suspect it was the same guy who invented those bloody ballbearing maze pixels I had a a kid. Lol

[@gordonjeffrey231076]

Good first effort reballing Steve. Phil is a legend!! Watch both your channels and love them. You guys inspired me to get a efi locked MacBook Pro working. Stupid old efi chip swapped and hey presto!! A fully functioning laptop once again. Keep up the great work!!!

[@leeheggie7043]

Phils a good guy. Nice video. did you hear me shouting yes when you were shouting no hahaha

[@lauratiso]

Man, your videos are inspiring me to take the pile of work I've screwed up in the past and fix it. Yesterday I fixed my GameBoy Color I messed up the sound chip trying to change the potentiometer, but now it's working again! Thank you, Steve.

[@nooneson1]

Keep em coming stez love these videos and of course the outro songs

[@stephenoflaherty5656]

How is this even possible. So well done👏👏👏

[@samwilliamson4715]

Amazing outcome there Steve! I was really holding my breath when you were reflowing that chip to the board and those capacitors starting swimming about.. nice result tho👍

Good practice stez even though chip broke but still a great fix though

[@DankerTVTimeCapsule]

i had a feeling the wire trick would be an issue down the line. didn't expect the resolution to be the problem though.

[@wood0366]

Steve rocking up with a Julia Child "Oh, here's one I've set up earlier!" with Phil's chip would have been a giggle.

[@alincocos7076]

I really hoped you would succeed. But next time you will do it. I definitely think that the chip was broken, otherwise you would have done it. Lovely videos, great fixes. Keep it up.

[@evilmissf]

Good Job, you and Phil make it look easy, wish I could do something as small as that, I just get blurred eyes and shaky hands, well done 👏 x

[@markvandesande8855]

Great listen to your comments and revist i commend you Sir.😁

[@antoinedacosta9141]

Excellent job in replacing the ESD chip. But one thing annoys me, your XBox is sending it’s heat directly to the Denon amplifier that could bring faster wear on it. Mine is put sideways so it blow more to the back than on my Set top box and my Blu-Ray player. Another way would be to swap the two so that your XBox expels to the wall.

[@jcon6734]

I can solder through-hole all day. I can do surface mount well enough. Just thinking about trying to solder BGA gives me anxiety.

[@k1ckyscotland988]

You are the Messiah!. I should know,I've followed a few.

[@robbkenobi]

Great job! Hey, I've seen other videos of yellow tape being used over the nearby fuses/capacitors to shield from the heat gun. Is there any merit in doing that?

[@chrisgravedigger]

would ever use something sticky(and heatproof obviously) sometimes to hold things in place ?

[@CasualSpud]

I envy your fine motor skills.

[@Dan-v3i]

Those are so fun to reball, lol. I’ve done 3 myself

[@SixtyDoesStuff]

Wait I missed it, how did it break suddenly? The heat? The tweezers?

It wasn't on camera unfortunately, but yeah I picked it up with my tweezers to look at it and it broke apart! 😬

you do make me lol keep going funny watching you in a good way :)

[@RyanDavidHale]

Hey Stez I am really interested in your console, TV audio setup - any chance you could do a quick video to show us your setup? I still run an old XBox360 and PS3 but have them frankesteined through my very old PC to play the audio and the like. Anyway, great video as always and glad you go the ESD chip thingy fixed

[@darkspongebob11]

the wires are probally just going to the tv like it normally would also thats very odd having it go throught some kind of pc just for audio

[@RyanDavidHale]

@@darkspongebob11 I should probably clarify My consoles are running into my PC monitor(s), but as the monitors I am running have no speakers, I am currently running the audio into my pc and outputting the audio into my 5.1 speaker setup - IT certinly isn't a great setup as I then need my PC on just to hear anything. So my 360 for example (it's the old, old version so no hdmi output, I have VGA or phono, I use th VGA to a hdmi output but tha leaves me with the audio on the phonos) I have just found out about HDMI splitters so looking into that too. Back to Steve's setup, He has loads of different consoles hooked to his TV and just wondered how he switcehs between them and handles the sound of the older onces - I can see a Denon box, so guessing that some sort of amp? and as he has multiple speakers, again guessing he is running some surround setup - would be cool to learn more Cheers

[@darkspongebob11]

@@RyanDavidHale it looks like a fancy tv so it possibly might have a lot more ports then a normal probably cheaper tvs and yeah even if there isnt enough you can get splitters and stuff to actually get more ports, i ideally need this so i can actually Easly switch between them because i only have one port on my extremely cheap tv

[@dodgydruid]

I've been dead keen with this music thingy, now got me leccy guitar hooked up to PC and running thru proggy's, also just bought Magix's Music Maker Premium for £15 and its less confoozling than Cakewalk and it likes my Nektar SE49 and my Benson guitar, Cakewalk won't even sniff at me SE so had to use MPC Beats for the keyboard and Cakewalk for the guitar but now got it all running lovely under one proggy. Jus' a shame my singing voice sounds like a cat going to toilet with a sewn up bum but hey ho...

I think in future videos you should censor all naughty words with a clip of Berk from Trapdoor saying "oh globbits!"
