I have searched for part 2 of this video and haven’t found it

[@monsterpatch9074]

Thats the one thing i hate about eBay now, people think their trash is gold plated or something. Shouldn't matter to the seller if you can get it working or not, you have the skills to. Excellent work, by the way.

[@EmeraldHill-vo1cs]

Ya , over here in oz, the charity shops charge more than buying brand new.

[@station240]

Too many idiots who when they find/get something they intend to flip on ebay, that turns out doesn't work, just toss in in the trash. So the high prices are due to how few sellers list anything for spares/repairs. Ebay don't help either, by making it too easy for idiots who can't read to buy broken items and then complain they didn't know and get a full refund.

[@milowadlin]

I'm nuts too!

[@TheCod3r]

Haha you sure are! Thanks so much man

[@cbr-gaming8053]

That has got to be the best in video advertisement I have ever seen, and probably the most honest too. Well done 😂😂

[@MasterJediSean]

Excellent recovery Phil! I nearly fell off my chair when I saw it working. Well Done! and for the $150 there would have been some money in pulling components at the very least. I would love to see more of these kinds of repairs. Awesome!

[@watchingdanny]

Not many would even attempt this repair. Very cool to see this. Hope you're successful. 😊

[@mradibush]

Id pay the £140 for the story on how it got in this state 😂

[@lovedeathhatepoison8737]

probably running while someone was powder painting something and the fans circulated the entire stuff to the internals

[@fruitcake4910]

Some wacko woman got sick of her bf playing Rust all the time. After losing his beloved machine, he became a Rust developer.

[@CragScrambler]

Honestly looks like by product of an insurance job, possibly water damage, burst pipes in house or flooded and the house has been stripped and stuff thrown in the skip, then the house replastered and the remnants also thrown in the skip, often see paint in there too. The inspector will be on hand and count the losses as they are thrown away. I've seen stuff like this before when redecorated job for insurance, never a games console.but often TVs and kitchen appliances etc.

[@dan-star]

Looks like it was used as a door stopper by a plasterer

[@anupamsingh7929]

The housing was used to store diarrhea.

[@danielhulan3058]

I love your ads. Your just brutally honest and ith with you, it makes me trust you more and willing to spend money with you. So, what you're doing works.

[@pmyhill]

Great restoration video Phil, impressed you managed to get it wirking to this state already !! 👍👍. Looking forward to the next parts 👍

[@rorykelly8275]

There's an ebayer sends me stuff in the same condition, he works in a recycling center so I get the spoils. The stuff I get is in some right states as you can imagine but quite often I get it working or can use the parts. It's quite amazing what people throw away.

[@Mr-fe5ng]

Great job mate you really are a superstar in your own field love it , if i ever have any sort of electronic problem i know who im calling its you mate :) your skills are just insane.

[@bookerol]

Reminds me of the 3 xbox one consoles from my Son's house fire. I had cleaned the boards in the sink with dish detergent and a soft-bristle paint brush, followed with a drying in the oven. 2 out of 3 survived the fire and are still operating several years later. Videos like the ones you, and others, share with us gave me the confidence to tackle that little disaster. I still have hopes for the 3rd xbox (the worst) and actually had it running until it black-screened. I have a re-timer chip for that and with more SMD practice... you never know. Thanks Phil!

[@Gaming_Junkies710]

WOW nice fire Phil....lol. I am in shock it didn't shut down when that happened. Another great video mate!

[@lil-chevy8487]

great video phil,you should be a shop teacher to show how to fix things the proper way,your a very smart tech

[@TheRealBobHickman]

Was not expecting actual fire! Great repair up to that part :p

[@markmurphy9280]

Great stuff! i used to repair iphones, watching your videos makes me want to try something different like consoles etc.

[@sijig3501]

I saw this Xbox listed on eBay and thought no way.. no one will touch this.. fair play to you.

[@roiberadcnoic5862]

Great video I never would have thought in a million years that it would have worked seeing the amount of plaster on the circuit boards 😊 regardless the fire 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Chrisj-Pops]

Excellent video. Great work. Fred Flintstone Will be happy 😁. Shame on the disk drive . love the magic smoke 🎉

[@theshemullet]

You should look at getting a big dehydrator to use for drying out the boards. Might take a bit longer but they are made to remove water moisture from things a watery as a tomato. They use less power and would be much gentler on the board. Also you can get pretty cheap ones

[@Frank-Thoresen]

I was thinking he is using a gas oven to dry the boards. Propane when burning gives out moisture. Not a good idea. He definitely needs an electric oven.

[@kylextreme1420]

Your humour is top notch mate 😂

[@ajaks7636]

Repair and a Smoke show, Awesome! Thank You.

[@blizteredthumbs7911]

Absolutely loved this one, plastered in great information. The repair is pure fire! 🔥 lol but seriously mate, you're absolutely awesome. Just need a good barber 🤪

[@jmills1549]

Well done phil

[@davidgeltz7604]

This is not the first time I've seen this done as a matter of fact I've done it myself , then the next step would be I have a flat container with isotopic alcohol that I would lay it in that would dissipate the water and then you would take it out and stick it in like a oven and at low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes to dry the alcohol, I have also seen the videos of people who clean their boards and dishwashers.

[@stnucynuff]

Hey Phil, awesome channel! I found you through TronicsFix and love watching these repair videos. Just curious as to what a 'banned' xbox is? Is this a UK thing? Cheers from the prison colony (AU)!

[@danatmonst3594]

G'day from (freezing) WA 👋I've never heard of "banned" either. My first thought is that its a modded console. Hope someone answers our question.

[@marcoboij]

Banned consoles mean, console has been modified and the Microsoft banned it from xbox life no more internet connection

[@karlrowlands7492]

Great video hows the family

[@RobertoFernandez-dy7hi]

A very interesting vid. I'd like to know if it gets fixed in part#2.

Nice to see a video where Phil gets plastered !

[@tonyrgnash]

that lit up pretty good.. i've not had anything that catastrophic happen to me (yet)

[@kam_mil]

Pro tip for anyone with a condenser tumble dryer: the condensate water is distilled, which makes it really good for cleaning electronics as it has no minerals!

[@formbi]

not really, it contains some small fibers from the clothes and even some particles of the cleaning stuff

[@kam_mil]

@@formbi that's true but does dryer lint hurt electronics? Not really

[@formbi]

@@kam_mil but the other stuff may act as an electrolyte, I would avoid it

[@kam_mil]

@@formbi The amount of detergents in that water is gonna be tiny unless you don't wash clothes properly, it won't harm the board

[@Davejazz]

Good 👍 job philip

[@sportytone1]

Putting circuit boards in water is only bad when there is current flowing thru the board. As long as the board is completely un-powered (DC from a battery included) when washed and rinsed & dried thoroughly it will be OK. If worried, soak in IPA to remove any water. Never power up a wet board, since it's the electrical current combined with moisture that causes galvanic corrosion.

[@MikeGervasi]

Phil makes fire. NICE.

[@timothystevenhoward]

wow. I must say that was really interesting to watch.

[@Mark_C1]

I think from the amount of top coat plaster in that the labourers didn’t get paid 😮

[@Jason-zh7wo]

😲😲 good luck 🙏🙏

[@mizizi1]

Amazing video Thanks.

[@Jaze2022]

that staining on the copper is copper oxidation. maybe a metal polish will take it off?

[@sheiladavis2304]

Oh that sucks i just saw the disk drive shoot fire. It looked like you didnt clean it as well as the others.

When cleaning the board just saying should remove the thermal paste just in case there is corrosion underneath 😉

[@djm9937]

My wife would say... 'PHIL ! Have you been using my sink again' !?

[@michaelbryan3363]

only just came across your channel,watched a few video's so far. i like your work,so considering whether or not to get you to look at fixing an xbox one x i have (in bits lol). i was tring to fix it myself which i think i achieved,but putting it back together i noticed the componant that sync's the controller's,the whole plugin ripped off the bottom of the board. would this be something you would be able to fix. i'm not too far from you in south b,ham so could drop it up to you if you willing to take it on.

[@TheCod3r]

I can take on the repair yeah, I have a few videos on the channel regarding this particular issue. I wouldn't be able to take drop offs though as I use a forwarding address and can't give out my real address for safety reasons (I've actually received death threats because of youtube) so it would unfortunately have to be mail in only

And that's why you don't pug in extra hardware while the board is powered on, LOL!

[@mirayanomi]

Why not put the boards in ultrasonic before powering them on like the dvd board. Dumb mistake.

I'd soak the board first to see how much of the plaster silt will move without removing signs of corrosion underneath

[@andrewshearstone1101]

That one should of come with a wire brush and vacuum lololl

[@chtps3]

I'm not an expert like you! I have washed many of my used consoles. Bath with alcohol and then dry for a day. If it is to have a problem it will be visible very soon. After a month of playing and no problems never had a single problem. I have washed a PS2 which was painted and it's been working for over 15 years! The most recent is my Xbox one x. I washed it and changed the power button and for 4 years there's not a single problem or misfire 😊

[@lukedavis436]

I think the reason the board blew up is because there's no motors attached, i had a Hard Drive PCB Explode it's motor controller. Never attach PCBs without motors... Bad things could happen, RIP Seagrave 7200

I'd buy it as well

[@sheiladavis2304]

New to the channel. Omg! You got screwed! How could someone sell you that for parts? It literally looks like its been under water with all of that rust in there. It looks like someone used it as the mixing bucket to mix the plaster. Did you get to see pictures before buying? Thats gonna take 8hrs worth of your labour just to clean it enough to maybe find parts. Im looking forward to see how this thing turns out. I was oing to buy one of these because finally xbox put out a machine that plays all of there games from the first xbox until now. I hated that you got a list of games they decided to let you play from 360 to the one. But i may have changed me mind. Ive seen another of your videos where you say xbox put in bad code that destroys your ssd. Is it the same for systems in canada? North american maay be different than uk? I can pick one up barely used for $400 cad. Is that a good deal? I think it is. If i bought new i might have gotten the ps5. What system do you prefer and why?

[@1tibbers]

Normal water.....? You do understand the concept of corrosion yes?

[@phester28]

would have been a perfect candidate for the dishwasher, would have got more out than a scrub. I think

[@Southernstar-RHINO]

My father used that joke as well, “call me anything but late for dinner” dad joke. Id pull that Xbox out of skip too. I’ve got my Xbox 1 and about 160 games for $50 from a guy who needed cash badly. Still got my Xbox 360 , and several old sega master systems x3 and 3x of the old Nintendo 8bit old consoles with games. I bought the lot for $10 at a garage sale. Retro gaming reminiscing my youth. Alex Kidd or wonder boy series was fun.

[@C.JG.]

I have been repairing plenty of electronic things in my life, but I disagree on some action you took. Imho e.g. using an household oven in your house for electronics and food can and will seriously affect your health sooner or later. And I always suggest using the smoothest brush.Not a nailbrush. But it's your show hey, 😉 so thanks for your videos, we are also learning a lot.Great soldering technique! Cheers
