[@andyarifin2609]

[@jamesdavis2359]

(just a joke) However, in your condition I wouldn't be smelling things from things like that. You're looking great btw, glad you're still posting.

[@ToxicWharfUk]

The chime you can turn off in the Xbox settings. Great video keep up the great work.

[@TheLawdog008]

Can we get him more subscribers...He is definitely worth the watch

[@TheLawdog008]

Just realized this is the "Longs Channel, and that's why his subs are lower"...but still, definitely worthy of more subs

[@NukeJockey]

Was not expecting to see gollum repair an xbox today - thumbnail is a beauty. Good one steve 😂

[@paulleon1965]

Get well Steve Great Channel

[@anonamatron]

Thanks for the caption at the start. I thought "oh no, did something happen again?"

[@tfoodplease]

Great Find, hoping to find one one day!❤

[@jacobloucks7195]

I think That giant piece of aluminum was the heat sync

[@robc5768]

I tossed an old hat on my xbox. Looks very custom. As long as it works, it works

[@BrandonWelchAMA]

One thing I never saw you try, was check the voltage rails from the Power Supply. I know on a PC, the power supply supplies both the 12v and 5v to the system. I'm not really sure about the XBox. But that is something I would have checked while troubleshooting. Obviously that wasn't the problem here, but something to check in the future.

[@TronicsFixLongs]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@jamiethompson3695]

Awesome vid! I have this console….. but my controller has a sticky “B” button! Sent it off under warranty once and got it back “fixed” but then went wrong again outside the warranty. You didn’t show the cleaning of the controller in this vid, have you got a separate one? I know you have lots of vids!! Just nervous about attempting to fix stuff as I worry about breaking it…. (My car would tell you many stories if it could talk!) 😂

[@danielcovel6236]

Really enjoy your vdeoes

[@TronicsFixLongs]

Glad that you're enjoying them!

[@jacobloucks7195]

I have always wondered how many times can you heat up computer chips before you can’t solder it anymore

[@jinxgtr]

11:23 look closely at the board

[@boyce919]

The solder across the traces?? Could be a problem if it went through.. good eye

[@216dazza]

i have 2 of these me and my son have them fully boxed 🙌🏻

[@jinxgtr]

24:37 no speaker on the test board

[@raycymbalisty5503]

i'm sure i seen a burnt mosfet below the booster chip on the original board, maybe give it a second look

[@fadedsmoker4998]

i really want to get into this for a new career, but is there really any success in it, i dont see many really profitable repair stores, is it worth a career change to start a business? Just a wild question, im tired of being a mechanic lol

[@davidwagner3170]

Was it just me or does the ethernet port pins look bent? Timestamp 47:05 and Timestamp 48:07

[@FaddyMatty]

I still have a hard time using my hot air station, I think I just need more practice.

[@billybob-de8eu]

Spongebob Xbox x series was a thing. I want one

[@sammilynnreyes8260]

I hate people who don't take care of their console

[@cruejones742]

First and foremost: congratulations and thank whoever you want for your recovery and success!!!! Now can you maybe fix the "Open Tray" error for the Xbox 360 when it's not the laser that has been replaced?

[@del4you2]

Call a repair swapping the entire console??? WTF????

[@CapnGuitars]

That's a LOT of flux and heat!!!

[@danielhulan3058]

Steve youre the GOAT

[@Dookie19951]

Hell I’ll sell mine for 600

[@rbuschy]

WTF!? It was in English and then just Switched to German I Cannot change it! 🤣

[@erickelly8704]

I’m going to say early can’t trust online purchases like u use to lot of lying & scamming now

[@insideMan1981]

U have beeing scammed bruv

[@Carlos_Dee_M]

How?

[@instahawk8422]

You say that. FYI it’s an old video just a longer version and he gets it working so hardly scammed

[@michaelmitchell8218]

I watch these videos and laugh. It’s a complete joke and shouldn’t be doing this. It’s all guesswork and have I got spare board laying about. Messing about taking parts of you didn’t need too. I done electronics for over 30 years and you are clueless in what you do. Heard of a thing called an oscilloscope? Would save you a lot of time if you knew how to use one. Could test signals and wouldn’t need to keep pulling stuff off and guess. Try learning ohms law and all the other maths you need to know what you’re doing. Sorry if you think I’m being rude but this is no way to go and you’re just wasting time and also you could end up missing faults that cause the fault in the first place. Your just end up with the fault again because it was caused from somewhere else. You’re not great with your hot air and flux. Also cotton buds ? That leave lots of micro fibre behind on ic legs,etc. it’s all a big no and you don’t do this in cleaning flux off.

[@AcidicHotwire]

....and I just read comments like this and laugh. The people that write them are typically arrogant twits that need to pretend they're better than some random dude on the internet because they're so insecure in their own lives. You may be good at your specialty but this man managed to get it done while battling cancer, and the physical and mental issues that come with chemo. His solution may not be perfect but it worked, and he explained what he was doing in a way a layman could understand, and we have no idea what tests were done off camera. Grow up dude and stop taking out your personal demons on others.
