[@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

[@AdamAhmed-sm3qr]

Love all your content, and just your cool approach on things. So happy you’re in remission Steve ❤

[@renardolopez1369]

Congratulations on your remission, love your videos, keep it up mane 💪🏽

[@farmerJ-zp9dj]

I'd recommend to use a small copper heatsink with thermal putty on the retimer chip , the reason for them frying is way too much heat , fitted my copper heatsink before starting using the Xbox X & also fitted one on the Xbox One X HDMI encoder Chip which tends to blow also , since fitting these never had an issue . For the price of a couple of $ well worth it 👍

[@rebeccamiller5217]

I’m so excited every time I see your videos, yet sad at the same time, you make it look SO easy! I wish I could do these things . I love to figure out what happened when something quit working

[@AtlasTheStoryteller]

Subscribed! Love your content, friend. Happy to hear you're in remission!

[@ToxicWharfUk]

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

So glad this is a old video and your in remission, !! your skills are so great, always a good watch

[@anonamatron]

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

[@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!) 😂

[@Chef_Jimi3]

Recently started watching so I can learn to do this stuff myself. Love the videos. Glad youre in remission. Keep it up!

[@OoiTzEcHoZoO]

Awesome videos man, Keep it up!😋

[@adiposerex5150]

Great work as always.

[@kimberlyjacobsen4148]

Any software marks that it’s a halo version? If not you could just replace the internal hardware

[@andyarifin2609]

Love seeing your work, hope you always in good health. U'r subs from Indonesia 🇮🇩👍🏾

[@fu1r4]

You are saying at 2:10 that you can barely feel anything from the fan at that is because it doesn't blow air out that way. It suck air in ...

[@rebeccamiller5217]

You should still feel air rushing or moving in

[@jedinite128]

Thnx for the content as usual Steve. Question: Apart from custom sound chip, what else makes a special edition Xbox? (Not counting case ofc).

[@mountednoble]

I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and have binge-watched most of your videos. Have you ever considered making a pilgrimage to the electronics Mecca of the world: Shenzhen, China? You could go into one of their numerous electronics malls and probably stock up on all of the bits and bots you might need for pennies! Just an idea for you in the future… (btw, I’m not Chinese, but I did live and work in China for most of my thirties)

[@williewheeler7152]

How much do you? Charge to fix an xbox series x

[@JohnLafitte]

4:30 I think that's an OEM fan. At least I've seen it in series x before. They might have used more than one supplier though.

[@tyschmidt7404]

No the one that goes in it has paint speckles all over it

[@Druid_Plow]

Special edition console, like Ty said speckled paint, it's similar to what you can see on the base. Although it is kinda silly because you can barely see it when the console is off, and when it's on and spinning forget about it.

[@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!

[@An4gram]

Doctor Evil in the thumbnail! lmao! Love your work and get well soon, I know Chemo is tough my ex wife went through it

[@edwardwebb5636]

uncle fester to me, he even works with⚡️

[@tfoodplease]

Great Find, hoping to find one one day!❤

[@TwelveFinger-u7w]

I watched this video from start to finish and my thoughts are that maybe the person that initially tried to fix the problem might have switched out one of the original boards.

[@paulleon1965]

Get well Steve Great Channel

[@Rodville]

When you took off the speaker from the old board you ripped 3 pads not two. It still had one pad on it when you put it on the new board.

[@Joegengstah]

love falling asleep to your videos. really zen

[@Carlos_Dee_M]

Are you saying Steve is boring? 😳

[@Joegengstah]

@Carlos_Dee_M haha nono. Relaxing 😌

[@donalddowning4830]

i have a xbox one s i wanna fix and i think its a power suply cuz it truns on then shits off id love a spare power supply to see if it works i just want a game consol to play and iv never got one as a kid iv allways wanted a ps2

[@216dazza]

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

[@dominicbakken]

Being a tidy cheapo. My computers are cleaned /inspected monthy. What is the cleaning schedule of the 2010 newer consoles? This being computer expensive Does it have internet Browser? Would anyone do that? I attempt to limit my screen time to 4 Hrs for what its worth thank you for keeping at it... I know it sucks getting up in the am sometimes

[@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.

[@RetroRich91]

Heat the chip a bit first then add flux no?

[@davidwagner3170]

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

[@raycymbalisty5503]

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

[@jacobloucks7195]

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

[@andrewpiovesana2573]

You should do a video on Xbox Series X 2TB Console Galaxy Black Special Edition

[@miket9549]

U should of replaced the hdmi cause sometimes it can look physically good but it's actually not good especially considering it was installed by someone that isn't a professional.

[@danielcovel6236]

Really enjoy your vdeoes

[@TronicsFixLongs]

Glad that you're enjoying them!

[@tyschmidt7404]

So is it still a 20th anniversary console if it has a different motherboard in it?

[@rfbftp123]

Do you think they changed the motherboard for this edition lol

[@jacobloucks7195]

I think That giant piece of aluminum was the heat sync

[@brianb6969]

i Learn so much from you, but I am dumb, and can't even solder, Never tried to, Really wish I had a Mentor.

[@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?

[@garnetnelson1419]

Hey man hope your health improves and the tech wasn’t the cause of your illness

[@sammilynnreyes8260]

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

[@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

[@Holycurative9610]

FYI... I was a farm worker/tractor driver and fed up with long hours for little money so started to repair laptops part time 20 years ago. My hobby turned into a full time job and now I'm almost retired at 56 but, there's always a but, I never owned a shop and worked from home and I never advertised, working through word of mouth mostly. These 2 things, a shop and adverts, would have been my 2 biggest expenses (and benefits) so my growth was slower than it could have been but that's balanced out by needing a lot less money, no rent or big ad bills. It took me about 3 years to be fully into the repair business and I was able to stop the farm work but if I'd had a lot more money to start I could've done it in 2 years I think. I did get a couple of grants from charities here in the UK and got some help with book keeping, paying tax and NI, and general helpful business tips from my local council. I also never did "fixed rate" repairs and always charged hourly and I used the best parts available which cuts down on warranty claims because you have to warranty parts and also guarantee your work. I got a good reputation for honest repairs at reasonable rates because I was always straight with people and if their laptop was worth £50 I wouldn't do a £100 repair on it. Why not give it a go in your spare time and see how you get on but don't throw your life savings into it until you've got enough business to have some spare cash after you pay your bills. You can also start with some basic equipment, there's no need to spend £1500 on tools, a good soldering station, hot air station, decent screwdrivers, a multimeter, and you're good to go for basic repairs. The other bits you can buy as you need them!! Hope this helps.....

[@FaddyMatty]

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

[@markshellard5894]

Can’t always tell what life these things had

[@JRChuxx]

I want one of these...

[@pheneghan1008]

Congratulations on Remission.

[@robc5768]

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

[@VixenTarantula]

It's incredible how people destroy consoles. I have respect of my consoles.

[@Druid_Plow]

4:42 Yeah, about that... I opened mine just to clean and jacked up that exact ribbon connector. Idk if I just forgot to unplug it or if the cable just snagged, but I turned the console to check for more screws and the whole sandwich slid out of the lunchbox and lifted the connector. 😮‍💨 $150 to a cool shop down the road for the soldering job.

[@tyronenelson9124]

And what makes this xbox rare? can you explain I'm confused.

[@Holycurative9610]

Limited edition Halo version with Halo controller as well.

[@CapnGuitars]

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

[@erickelly8704]

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

[@del4you2]

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

[@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

[@insideMan1981]

​@Carlos_Dee_Mbecouse the main board was dead

[@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.

[@bfrheostat]

While he could be more gentle expressing himself, he might be right about q-tip usage. They leave a lot of residue, that bothers me too while watching Steve's videos.

[@AcidicHotwire]

@ Oh, I didn't say he was inaccurate, especially about the Q-Tip bit, but being correct doesn't excuse being a jerk.

[@michaelmitchell8218]

@@AcidicHotwire yeah it does because I seen people get hurt because they took stuff to people to repair who didn’t know what they was doing and end up blowing up in front of the person at home causing damage to them and their property. Yeah it does make me mad and the accidents I seen in my time with people messing about with electronics and getting hurt. People think you watch a few videos and then you’re an expert. It takes years to become good at this and you are always learning. Just like people who buy cheap aftermarket batteries for their phone and the thing ends up blowing up in their pocket or phone stops working because they didn’t want to take it to Apple, Samsung,etc because of the right to repair. That’s why these companies try to stop you repairing stuff because of the fake electronics, batteries out there. But you all think they are ripping you off and your do it yourself with cheap aftermarket crap and not having a clue what your doing. Don’t matter what I say you know better.

[@AcidicHotwire]

@ I've been repairing electronics and running IT departments for nearly 30 years myself. I would never hire someone that presented an argument like that, regardless of their level of knowledge. I never said you were wrong, I said your attitude was. The way you presented your argument isn't going to win any converts, nor will it correct the behavior you dislike so much. If you've been doing this for general customers for 30 years, as you've said, I would've thought you would have already learned how to distribute warnings and knowledge in a more effective way by now.

[@dannycaballero3963]

I drove Saturday 4 hours to buy one for $450 the family had it hooked up for so I could see it was working excellent condition no scratches just dirty inside already did a full cleaning and new thermal paste thanks to your videos only thing was the controller the dog had chewed it up still working….im looking to buy one if anyone has one available preferably not working just for the shell..glad your doing amazing sir many blessings

[@fabriciolopez9168]

Hi, anyone know what the device he uses at minute 29:10 to hold the board is called?

[@Jbthecircuitdr]

​@@fabriciolopez9168 it's a hakko omnivise. They are great. Get 2 and you can hold any size board or just 1 for very small boards

[@fabriciolopez9168]

Thank you very much!!
