[@TheCod3r]

And yeah I realised I said playstation 5 in the sponsor spot... Whoops 😅

[@orionburke9487]

Hey i have a ps4 question possible deal i was curious if ud be interested>?

[@orionburke9487]

Curious about firmware and the ps4

[@monkstandinglast]

BECAUSE OF VAT PRICE JUMPED THEY HAVE AN OPTION AT TOP WITH OR WITHOUT VAT LOL NOTHING SHADY GOING ON THERE LOL

[@davidbohn8955]

Your skill at repairing these consoles never ceases to amaze me. You deserve every pound you earn. Thanks for the video!

[@jeffreygreen158]

Hes Just class to watch fixing stuff. from big problems to small ones And he always comes out on top in the end its in hes blood. Happy fixing.

[@kennethellis7460]

You are the boss of fixing companies, I can't wait to see part 2 mate.

[@dany-ps2my]

That was the most impressive repair I've ever seen, awesome job

[@TheRealACEB32]

love how you go through everything and never give up only just found your chanel but i will be looking through your old and looking forward to your new videos

[@BallzMcGavin]

I had to sell my Xbox series S for rent money a couple weeks ago. I'm completely lost without it Adulting sucks lol but at least I'm not homeless

[@TheCod3r]

Yeah man that sucks bro, I've been there! Things will get better dude, I have faith

[@BallzMcGavin]

Yepyepyep I know mate,still was a gut punch doing it lol.the only reason was because I started a new job to get myself off government benifits and didn't realise I get paid monthly which was very awkward to find out. But rest assured my first pay I'll be getting another one

[@NikMitchell]

Sweet repair, always a treat when you can have a happy ending after all that work! Best of luck on the new shed, too!

[@chriswarner8623]

Well done with the fix would love to know how to get started with all these repairs

[@user-sr1tq5eb8p]

Excellent repair video. Thanks

[@MrJunkman1982]

Always a good feeling when you repair something that was deemed unrepairable.. Great job yet again!

[@rlsbal17]

nice work!! i really enjoy watching you work

[@REMEDY-REPAIRS]

Amazing work bro great video‼️ 🎉🎉 can’t wait to see the next one 😁

[@cysrandomthoughts1087]

Awesome videos, always a Challenge to it, Looking forward for part 2 👍👍👍

[@rwieber79]

Wow, I wish I had 1/10th of the knowledge and skill you've shown here. Impressive repair!

[@StupendousPedro]

The mystery of the coins in the stream is now solved 😂👍

[@TheCod3r]

Hahaha 😂

[@Rayzer1989]

Good shit Phil 🎉

[@anthonydenn4345]

Great job Phil. You cleaned that up nicely. It's a much better approach to clean the carbon first, before you inject any power. The carbon damage stays at a minimum that way imho.

[@andrewryan3894]

Another great video! Out of curiosity what software did you use to review the health of the SSD, also if the SSD was bad did you have any videos on how to resolve that?

[@1wirewool]

Brilliant Editing. Can you video edit on OBS, or do you use one of your own programmes?

[@BasicComputerRepair]

Excellent job!

[@fadetonoir6152]

"Here's one I made earlier" is from Blue Peter, not Art Attack! But yes, loved Art Attack as a kid - Neil Buchanan is an absolute legend. Did you know he's in a metal band?

[@mattschafer6291]

Great work 👍

[@youtubasoarus]

Art Attack! Now there's a show i've not heard of since I was a kid. It was a popular show even here in Canada. 👍 Awesome fix also! So exciting to see that thing come back to life after all that sorting out. ✌

[@Cablesmith]

You are bloody good 👏🏼

[@adrenalinem4n]

It is so bad that it is so much bs that the broken console means the $15 components are worth so much. Glad it supports this content througth.

[@eetuandersson4229]

Nice work!

[@1wirewool]

Looking nice and tidy.

[@richardswift4196]

Maybe I'm just showing my age, but "here's one I made earlier" was Blue Peter... Usually involving an old school fairy liquid bottle and sticky back plastic.

[@David_11111]

yay love the hot air work...

[@consertoousucata]

Nice job!!!!!! Bravo

[@darkhell5630]

I remember Art Attack i was 15 when it came out, it ran from 15 June 1990 to 2007.

[@JayJay-ki4mi]

Bro, strange how I've just ended up randomly on your video. I was the guy that commented on the Saudi post, and you suggested I add a loop. I'm repairing donor boards, and came across your video and noticed the name. Small world. I'm in Dudley, your accent sounds localish. Going to drop you an email.

[@leocroker5873]

That was a interesting one, wonder what made it go boom in the first place

[@conparry4292]

You should do a giveaway competition with some consols you manage to fix

[@garystevens6831]

I can only imagine the two words that came out of Phil's mouth when he saw the advert for these. "Challenge Accepted'. 😅

[@demps6919]

Circuit boards, transistors, fiber optics and CPU's were alien technology from the Roswell UFO crash.

[@blutey]

Good job. It did look pretty dire at the start with the carbonisation.

[@kappabravomusic2101]

Very cool bro

[@danielp9721]

nice save

[@Jason-zh7wo]

Nice job

[@chrisprobert6]

Haha Tony Hart is the og😅 rip Who's Buchanan?😂

[@skittishgaming4279]

great F**king job sir !!!! can you suggest some budget solder heat gun and irons that are decent at a cheap price, i want to get into fixing things myself

[@conparry4292]

Wow what a good job can't believe it

[@TheCod3r]

Thanks bud

[@mohandmohand2047]

So funny boss when stream from back and Ops look to back cam 🎉🎉😂

[@ProximoNovio]

If the ssd has so much wear can it be replaced? Can you pair it to another ssd?

[@christianlantieri9744]

great video!, thanks- Now please repair the other xbox series s

[@ajaks7636]

Awesome Repair Cod3r! You said "Shameless Shill", that's what your store should be called, "Shameless Shill Console Parts". 😁

[@darylkarani4048]

Im in Kenya looking to get a repair from a blod. No one can help with APU reballing. Can I get my PS4 pro to you and where?

[@lietus4192]

What would you recommend to start on as a beginner in electronics repair? I have hot air , soldering iron , hotplate , but have no idea where to start :)

[@ryverewing1439]

Gotta start on the handhelds. Old Gameboys and work up to the bigger consoles.

[@MikeGervasi]

Another nice one as always, Phil. You got a pop, was sad it wasn't a real pop, and then whined when it didn't start up. You're conflicted, mate ;)

[@Operational117]

But that always makes for an extra good video.😁

[@josephroberts6027]

Now to the second one!!

[@jrcavazos74]

Genius!

[@oaba201]

Just a piece of advice. Before you power the board. First check the board thoroughly under microscope. Check the resistances on the power lines. Or critical datalines. (The ones often fail) Just to prevent further damages by turning the equipment ON. That gives you a clue if there is something major going ON. If you are fixing the same boards. Just record the resistances on a good equipment. Every day is a school.

[@andrewcollins867]

Fantastic vid like the new approach for us noobs 😅

[@JoeyBigGuns]

On a band ps5 unit what needs to be replaced to get back to working again. Can chips be replaced from a unit that has dead board

[@TheCod3r]

You'd need to replace the APU and BIOS IC mate. Something I'm going to try in a video soon but economically it isn't worth it

[@milowadlin]

For the shed.

[@TheCod3r]

Y9ure a legend bud, thanks so much ❣️

[@TheRealACEB32]

i know you focus highly on consoles but i have a decent laptop that spent over a year in a computer repair shop and the guy couldn't fix if your interested in trying let me know original problem was it had tea spilt on the keyboard but occasionally it will still turn on for about 30 seconds so its not dead

[@BasicComputerRepair]

That sounds like a shorted PCH/Chipset.

[@soluzaroi]

YEAH!

[@StormsparkPegasus]

An actual UV light could hurt your eyes. But a video of a UV light on a monitor? LOL. The camera might actually pick up UV, but it's 1) not encoded into the video signal, and 2) even if it was, your monitor can't output UV anyway.

[@TheCod3r]

Haha got it in one 😄

[@alonsoknet]

Ohhh too much Uv light, my eyesight!! :P

[@SirHeadly84]

The series X motherboard are married to the disc drive and maybe the secondary pcb too, right? So wouldn't these boards just be parts if you dont have the other components?

[@darkglide24]

These are series s boards not x.

[@SirHeadly84]

@@darkglide24 that makes more sense. Thanks!!

[@shaneg5441]

I have watched a few of your vids after they found they just popped into my feed and I must say I enjoyed them shout-out to art attack I remember that show but I think it was the show blue Peter that said here's what I made earlier I might be wrong haven't checked but I'm 90% positive and yes I have hit the subscribe button and now it's broken 🤣

[@XENONEOMORPH1979]

winner winner chicken dinner.

[@fred35thomas]

haha i think the correct term is bodgit and scarper

[@schmutz1g]

Fuck yeah art attack!

[@joejudson5941]

How do I get on twitch in my Amazon prime account want to support you

[@TheCod3r]

Thanks bud. I think you click on the subscribe button on my channel and then it should give you the option to connect to amazon from there

[@joejudson5941]

@TheCod3r hi I looked at it and it doesn't have any place to link my prime account. It says that I can but only choice is PayPal.

[@benniwest]

I wonder if any of the eBay sellers work out who the buyer is and watch the videos to see the fix?

[@TheCod3r]

Yeah I've had a few leave me little notes in the past, so I think some of them know who I am lol

[@roiberadcnoic5862]

Great video I thought that board was fried chicken 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@craigwheatcroft9233]

Can you help my sons ps5 turns off when he try’s to play cod

[@TheCod3r]

By all means mate. If you want to book it in at www.consolefix.co.uk/book-your-repair you'll be able to send it over to me for repair. It sounds like it's overheating. For that I'd charge £50 plus the return postage costs

[@yamisniper]

i bet its over heating friends ps5 does this fromt ime to time this time i need to take the fan out and clean it really good instead of just running high pressure air through it

[@HenriqueFerreira-lj9nj]

No I'd rather not, I'm a vampire

[@TheCod3r]

Haha nice

[@melplishka5978]

I have fixed a few like that lol. Seems to be a common weak spot.

[@TheCod3r]

Interesting, I did order a few hundred mosfets for them today but it's the first one I've had myself. It'll be good to have the mosfets on hand if it's a common failure point:)

[@melplishka5978]

@@TheCod3r ya I did the same lol. It’s was funny I had like 4 in a row about 3 months ago but only a few since. The hard core gamers seem to be more effected lol.

[@Portuguese-linguica]

Hey I sent you that email. Wondering if you got it ?

[@TheCod3r]

I'm not sure mate, what was it regarding?

[@Portuguese-linguica]

​@@TheCod3r the sales of your playstation stack behind you that we talked about in the live stream.

Ah right I think I spotted that email this morning. Those consoles need fixing before I can think about selling them though bud
