The outcome of this video may not have been what you expected but from all of this, you can now say "yeah the device wasn't fixable and I may have lost money on it, but at least I tried to fix someone else's mess for a customer who didn't deserve it". Good on you for having a go at it, I have so much respect for you and for what you do.

[@TheCod3r]

Thank you 😊 yeah it's not the end of the world. The good thing about documenting these repairs is I do still technically get paid a little bit from KZbin for the video (about £15 but better than nothing) and it shows that not every device is fixable too

[@TheCod3r]

Hey everyone. Please feel free to check me out on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/thecod3r2015 Thank you

[@UkdangermanRepairs]

Great vid mate. Always sucks when you get a no fix but showing your processes really helps the community. Perhaps if enough people see it, someone may come up with a fix at some point. Nice work 👍

[@TheCod3r]

Thanks mate, yeah I like to show some of the no fix stuff because it shows people not everything is fixable and sometimes we just have to give up and move on

[@APSuk2]

No need to apologies Phil, I know these kinds of repairs are a nightmare for techs but for us as viewers they are the most interesting in that they are not straight forward and that it that shows us advanced testing & soldering procedures with the added intrigue of will it work after all the work. Cannot win them all but a great effort in trying to save that board for the customer.

[@TheCod3r]

Thanks mate, yeah I don't know if anyone noticed but I have gone a little click bait style lately so nice to have one that technically isn't clickbait lol

[@chrisa6120]

It wasn't destroyed by a Tech, come on... It was destroyed by a person who thinks they are a Tech.

[@TheCod3r]

Haha love it 😂

[@arie1293]

Sorry Phil, I’m laughing at your pain. 😂 That is one jacked up board.

[@jeanpuetz4890]

Had a similar problem with a Switch Lite. It was charging, but not turning on and no display. Backlight coil was dead.

[@angelsnow2695]

Hi sweetheart iv found your channel by accident but now I'm hooked. 😊😊👌👌🙏

[@TheCod3r]

Awesome thank you

[@RobBob555]

I like seeing the no fix " fails" .. like you say, sometimes its just B.E,R, !

[@nigelwilliams4800]

This guy is Awesome,Amazing I fully understand others don't.i repair tvs people thing change this change that job done...

*random piece of glass falls out* Me: “Oh…oh no”

[@stevedebeukelaer1424]

Hi phil you should ask an attemp fee for boards where the messed with nice repair attempt. Great content. Keep up the good work.

[@TheCod3r]

Cheers mate, yeah I need to add it to my terms and conditions to be honest otherwise I can't legally charge repair attempt fees

[@BennyAlex98]

how do you ultrasonic clean ur pcb? Do you use normal or destilled water? Which cleaner? Thx

[@TheCod3r]

I use de-ionized water with IPA then clean the board fully afterwards. I use a DK Sonic 3l cleaner

[@bigmacsnoobselectronicsrep8032]

Fantastic video as always phil mate quick question if you don’t mind what temperature do you run your ultrasonic cleaner for and how long???

[@TheCod3r]

no more than 50c for 10 minutes mate :)

[@buckhobbit]

Quick question, the jumper wire would 0.02mm be OK to use for the charge port, or would you say 0.06 is the lowest?

[@TheCod3r]

Personally I'd say 0.06 or 0.1mm. 0.02 would be a bit too thin especially for power lines

[@dodgydruid]

M8, you are a master at soldering, surely you can silver solder that nozzle back together for a permanent fix?

[@TheCod3r]

Unfortunately not, it would get too hot and melt again. Welding would be an option though ;)

[@DenjiW]

@@TheCod3r I was going to mention welding. The cost of having someone weld it (if you don't have the machine) would probably be more than the cost of a new nozzle, but I was going to say that it would be "honorable in the name of repair, and for good luck". But then I thought it would sound silly

[@TheCod3r]

@@DenjiW I do have access to a welder but it would mean travelling to my sister's house and dragging it out of the back of my brother in law's shed lol

[@techroom6830]

kinda hard to tell from the angle but what tip are you using there? kinda looks like a beveled

[@TheCod3r]

Yeah I mainly use a T15-B15 1.5mm bevel tip for most jobs 😁

[@jerryhatfield84]

Love your videos I wish I had skills like you! My Nintendo switch will not charge in the dock or using the official power brick. The weirdest thing is it will charge by plugging it into a computer or by using a Samsung phone charger. I replaced the battery and nothing changed. People are saying it could be the port but it doesn't make sense because it's recognized by a computer. Just wondering if it's one of those chips that you talk about. Have you ever encountered this issue and what was the fix?

[@arie1293]

Ah, finally understand why the switch light ports cost so much more!

[@stevetealey2804]

who ever did that to the board should not try and fix anything again what a mess.

[@TheCod3r]

Lol I agree, the ps5 video I have coming out tomorrow is even worse 😅

[@martynburrows4110]

Absolutely valiant effort to fix this my friend, I would have given up ages ago 😂 I do have a challenge for you if you choose to accept it, fix my ps3 CECHA00 with no display, I have already sent a message to you but yet to hear a reply as I know you are busy. I have many ps3 consoles I can donate to you which may help to fix my CECHA00, I believe it is a RSX chip re-balling / replacement fault, I just don't have the equipment required to fix it. Hope to hear from you at some point 🤞

[@TheCod3r]

Unfortunately I don't work on PS3s mate. If I'm being honest I scroll past PS3 requests now because i was replying to far too many of them and it was taking up too much time. Sorry about that 😕

[@martynburrows4110]

@@TheCod3r ok thanks for your honesty mate. If you change your mind let me know 😂 Keep up the good work my friend 👍

[@adammarsden-rhodes703]

Question Phil will you still charge the customer for the work you’ve done even tho the console doesn’t work? Great work by the way lots of love from Wakefield

[@TheCod3r]

Nah I work no fix no fee mate so I don't charge if I can't fix the console fully

[@fcallum77]

We all have to start somewhere... That's why I purchased crap old broken laptops to practice on. I did the odd simple job for my friends with the pretense that I may not fix the machine and that it may become more damaged. What I didn't do was claim to be a tech, take someone's valuable equipment and then destroy it almost beyond repair like this so called "tech" has done! The board looks like it was left on a BBQ. They must have known they didn't have the skills to pull off even the diagnosis. Never mind the repair. If you can't even flow a solder joint on a ground leg, how can you reasonably expect to flow a new charging port into place etc? Some people are so stupid it hurts.

[@TheCod3r]

I agree mate. Practice on old or unwanted stuff or stuff you buy yourself and that way the customer doesn't have to suffer

[@eman59461]

they probably think it is a Philips and its a Tri-wing.

[@davidc6459]

Great video.

[@Robert-mt9jw]

Pause at 10.24 two components missing top of the picture.

[@TheCod3r]

I'm not sure where you're referring to mate to be honest

[@shakyboi]

I am 12 minutes in and I wanna say. I know two things about motherboards and technology. Fuck and all. But even I can see that someone scuffed this up so bad that a real technician is sitting there crying at the thought of how badly this board has been abused.

[@andyledford8380]

8:57 😂😂😂

[@andrewcosten]

It's shame you can't Weld it ...to fix it

[@TheCod3r]

Yeah I could and I can weld but it just isn't worth it to be honest

[@Filmitvfxstudios]

Bro do you want to have ago at my osmo mobile pocket , I’ll pay you and get it shipped to u i am based in London

[@TheCod3r]

Possibly but it depends how easy it would be to get parts for them mate
