Trying to Fix FAULTY eBay Items to Make a Profit - 10 WINS IN A ROW?! S1:E83

[@pldaniels]

Many thanks Joey for demonstrating the USB-C Meter, greatly appreciated.

[@vikash3296]

Brother there's just something about your videos that always puts a smile on my face. Inspiring and wholesome. Congrats on 10 in a row!!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thank you that's incredibly kind :)

[@PedroPlckle]

I've just started watching this channel as I am in awe of how your micro-soldering seems to magically snap into the exact location in the blink of an eye. It's simply staggering.

[@TheSpotify95]

Good tip with the white tac/blue tac for organizing screws! I don't actually do this, but that's because I have organizing trays (including one from Ifixit) which do the same thing. So if you don't have blu-tac, get yourself a cheap organizing tray and you're all sorted!

[@demetri402]

Discovered your channel from retro future a little while ago. I’ve been loving your content dude! You deserve a way bigger following

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thank you pal!

[@basshuntet6128]

At 9:36 I saw the screen back light flicker a bit like it was trying to display something. Have you try on external monitor after the cleaning?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Yeah I've only just seen it back whilst watching the video haha, but my stance on it is the same in the way I wouldn't want to sell it to someone even if I could fix it.

[@Sezze123]

Absolutely smashing it mate. Like you said, being selective on listings really helps

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thank you! Yep, it definitely pays off...

[@NeophyteDiyMaker]

Congrats for the 10! You should put a countyer behind you like a awetrix clock displaying sally spredsheet or the winning rows :)

[@Techie111]

Please be more mindful with your spoilers kinda ruins it yk.

[@kecho9703]

Hey Joey, Sorin always use water to clean liquid damage when dealing with sugarly things. Sugar gets disolved in water, but not in IPA

[@pldaniels]

I like a 80/20 mix, even 70/30 is fine too; water alone I find too likely to pool off in hidden places.

[@gregthatcher919]

My face feels very welcomed, thanks joey.

[@CraigE415]

Joey, do you think you could add a win percentage to your spreadsheet? It would be good to see if you are winning with profit more than taking a loss. 👍

[@DrCryogenic]

That's great Joey. You've come a long way now. Even catching the attention of some big shot professionals too. Plus 10 wins in a row! That's truly amazing. I'm very much happy for you. This just made my weekend too (after a cracked apu on ps5 😢).

[@winterwolf4127]

just found you love watching this its very helpful in getting a better understanding on things. ive read a few books on pcb reverse engineering and your videos make things make alot more sense with a real examples.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thank you I appreciate that! :)

[@danellabarnes-penman1118]

Well done Joey! You and your face have made a brilliant 10 win streak! Keep it going!

[@NowInAus]

Nail biting stuff! Love the onscreen meter. Great episode Joey

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks you pal :)

[@klorslug]

Another great vid! We definitely need to contribute to the wifey’s ultrasonic jewelry cleaner fund 😉

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Haha thank you Klor! There is no fund! 😁

[@seanhdzan9551]

subscribed! Really educational content. Congrats on the 10-win streak!

[@johnbaker26]

Recently found your channel and really love the pace of your videos compared by other electronic channels. Good job with the editing. Would love to see more tools when diagnosing, like an oscilloscope to check data/reset lines, more references to data sheets, and maybe demonstrations of different techniques that accomplish the same goals. Like using a meter with µΩ resolution instead of a thermal camera to track down shorts. Anyways will be subscribing. Who knows maybe my kids ps5 will fail someday and prove the video watching not to be just a way to pass the time?

[@RokasSondaras]

Today I stared following you and ended on E82, great time to release new video.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Lets goooo! Thanks :)

[@TheBrokenPast]

At 9:39 when testing the Switch after you cleaned all the corrosion off, you mentioned that you got "absolutely nothing" on the screen after plugging it in. However, if you go back and watch it, it *does* seem like a backlight comes on at least. It's super faint, but you can notice it in about the lower third of the screen, right in the middle. It could just be artifacts from KZbin's compression, but it does look to me like something lit up! Of course, I'm sure there are still plenty more issues with that much corrosion, but it does appear to have signs of life at least! Oh, and congrats on a 10 episode profit streak!

[@within_cells]

You should look into getting the same trace repair strips that Northridge Fix uses. The wire works well enough in most cases, but I bet if you had the strips you would find some use for them. Im sure theyre available on his store.

[@enolmatilla]

Good series of videos! What did you use to clean the flux? Greetings.

[@TheSpotify95]

Good to hear you got 10 wins in a row, and also good job on getting that on screen USB-C meter! I will probably just go for a basic one, like what you showcased before, purely because I can't afford $79 on a USB meter :D

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Each to their own! Thank you bud :)

[@iamnizorro9781]

What software do you use to get an OSD foe your multimeter?

[@Jesselovespinball]

Awesome job Joey! Congratulations on ten in a row !

[@saschaschnuppe3409]

I saw the backlight of the Switch turning on. Try to replace the LCD

[@Jfreezz]

Came across your content recently and I really enjoy it thank you for your content

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@melissaash5264]

Where do you buy that white tack at? Thanks for the video’s!

[@colinboneham7387]

10mins on the bounce gratz JDT good wins and hopefully many more

[@adriannp.]

Ultrasonic cleaner + isopropyl alcohol Joey, you need that!!

[@absentmindedstudios]

whwn it comes to super dirty PCBs, I like to SOAK them in 99-100% IPA overnight. then scrub them with a boars hair brush while still under (wearing latex or similar gloves) and usually the come out minty! I do this (only a couple hours) if i use a ton of flux while working on boards too. makes them look brand new.

[@linuxares]

Dang that ampmeter software is quick as well!

[@sirseven3]

I do IT and automotive stuff. I bought a magnetic dish for my IT stuff, works perfect for screws and has good strength

[@wasabihulk4731]

Hey Joey what tweezers do you recommend

[@wall_555]

Joey got a question what sample books u have and the numbers

[@guyh3403]

Would ultrasonic cleaning help abate this corrosion?

[@Sabermatrixx]

Heck yeah, Joey! Good job dude!

[@cfq.tufanuf7601]

Not watched yet but saying you're gonna Fix it❤

[@JoeyDoesTech]

:D

[@nicks0485]

That switch looks like the backlight came on faintly at 9:45

[@antonjansenvanrensburg4145]

should end the season while the goings good :P time for season 2 thanks for the entertainment Joey, have a good one

[@JoeyDoesTech]

>.< Would you want to see a Season 2? 🤔

[@MikeG-rh1lk]

I know my upcoming retimer replacement won’t go as smooth lol, I did use conformal coating to fix broke reset button

[@willrobinson7599]

That switch Looks knackered from first impressions.

[@markg3506]

Congratulations Joey!

[@slimsunny9994]

When you tested the cable did you use continuity

[@joe2mercs]

I just wonder if flushing Deoxit contact cleaner under the ICs would remove corrosion due to water damage.

[@ajaks7636]

Excellent. Way to go Joey!!

[@eathenalexander2836]

Great fix Mr Tribbiani👍🏽

[@shakangel666]

Wouldnt a good ultrasonic clean resolve most corroded areas?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

It would! I just don't have much room in the office for one :)

[@DweezilBubbadown]

I’m a newb and I would have re assembled and tested the Xbox before doing the retimer. Nice work anyway!

[@dityacivilizacii]

Do I work with electronics? No. Do I know things about electronics? Not really. Do I have to repair electronics? If you consider regular house outlets to be electronics, then yes. Have I watched five videos from this series? Well, yes of course. You tell great stories with your videos. I was sad for this poor nintendo switch being unrepairable.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thank you! Appreciate you tuning in :)

[@draadhaai]

Wooohooooo! 10 in a row, nice!

[@dany-ps2my]

I seen my mate Vince use copper tape on a ribbon cable before, thought that was a genius idea

[@alessandrovirdis520]

Back again to half way😍😍😍

[@qwer55555555]

9:35 screen polarized - it want's to live :D

[@gregthatcher919]

Congrats on 10th in a row joey🎉

[@grahamroberts1833]

Hi Joey (or anybody reading this). I have a similar microscope to Joey and other KZbin fixers (I am not a KZbin fixer), I think they are Adonostar (or something). However, Joey has this boom arm that his microscope is cradled in. Is this a DIY thing or can you buy this?

[@fadetonoir6152]

It's a monitor arm with a 3D printed mount for the Andonstar.

[@klorslug]

@@grahamroberts1833 I think Roy 3D printed the mount for him if I’m not mistaken.

[@kostadindamyanov6908]

From where you buy this cheaper consoles?

[@mizorenight3851]

The first Switch is apparently the old model, you could try checking if it is in RCM mode and waiting for a payload to be injected.

[@klorslug]

2:18 he did check if it was in RCM

[@adriannp.]

Yeeeeeees!!! 10 in a row, GG

[@keithgoldston2859]

Woo hoo congratulations on 10 wins

[@sparky150875]

Where can I get a Mr bridges cable tester

[@VampyRagDoll]

You can do it Joey.

[@plasmaoc]

I do love the content, but I have to ask, is the profit you make from these time intensive jobs worth it? Is it a wage you can live on?

[@skynetto]

Is not you being selective on items you replace. I have the feeling you are getting better each day and your skills are improving.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thank you :)

[@jonathanmartin3375]

Another winner!

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

I Have never ever seen an Xbox ONE S with another color than white. Really cool! -- Spoiler saver-- 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉 I knew it! 10 Times un a row! Congratulations, Joey! Very good! 🥳🥳💪🏼💪🏼

[@phynx-victumterra652]

That is a replacement shell as far as I can tell, has 'Japan' on the back and i've never seen japan written on a OEM switch shell

[@why_wait]

I use a magnesised tray for screws

[@colinboneham7387]

I’d buy a liquid damaged switched that works off you Joey if it’s cfw able.

[@iCottage]

9:44 my sensitive ass eyes saw the backlight turn on

[@Joaquin77]

Maybe you can invest on an ultra sonic cleaner.

[@jobwielens5233]

my pc makes a noice when i plug in my switch but i dont now how to fix it. It does nothing atm

[@arthurkayabalian8949]

i want to recreate your excel sheet, any way possible you could share it with us please!!!

[@codename275]

This serie is patter one piece 😂

[@mrfr0g2007]

10/10 🎉🎉🎉

[@stekeel6993]

Joey you should get some psps to fix

[@genfix]

Sally oh Sally oh Sally!

[@Pristine-Tips]

I think they knew it was water damaged from the start. Would 100% try and get your money back

[@TheUNLICENCED]

Buy a Ultra Sonic Cleaner.

[@tilen3389]

If u are own one, then u know its not important...

[@pldaniels]

They're useful for cleaning up post-rework but they're not quite as important if you keep your flux usage to only enough for the job rather than globbing it all over the place like Rossmann made popular [ that is good though for broad area LD rectification ]. I've got a couple of USC's and while they will make boards look factory new they do have their own risks.

[@Boax69]

Joey fixes ultrasonic cleaner, when

[@donjon1968]

You should try some other stuff than xboxes,playstations,switches😅 but anyways good vid, like always❤

[@fadetonoir6152]

Based on this, I think England may be in with a chance tomorrow...

[@psteier]

Awesome... 😊

[@OneOfDisease]

As many repairs as you do I am shocked you don't have polyimide tape in your tool kit. It's not really very expensive.

[@BostonDodgeGuy]

But you didn't include the price of the 1tb drive you put into the xbox. Those aren't free.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

It was taken from a donor console :)

[@BostonDodgeGuy]

@@JoeyDoesTech Oh, was the donor console free?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

@@BostonDodgeGuy No but they would have been counted for in previous profit or loss episodes as unfix-able machines, and I would of taken a negative for them in exchange for parts and stock.

[@ripleysmith7583]

10 for 10 for the win

[@haideralikhan5947]

Not really sure about something, you have gone through so many devices, so many hours and only made 500£. I understand that you don't do this for the money, but doesn't that mean that repairing electronics is not a viable source of income?

[@phohenriq638]

he is paying for the device and the parts... in a real repair shop, he would be charging people for the work he is doing and the parts as well, so the income would be much higher

[@maxz8807]

It seems somewhat counterintuitive that a chip labeled "p13 *USB"* is responsible for *video* haha

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Never thought of it like that!

[@Coopzzz360]

Did Paul sign the PCB🤣 that’s awesome if he did

[@pldaniels]

Extra bling.

[@Funkie_Monkey]

Hey guys, can I pick someone's brain 🧠 please?🤔 Would it be ok to replace a 113°c 15a thermal fuse with a 113°c 10a thermal fuse?

[@bojkovszkyzsolt2280]

Taking a charge both ways.

[@saferkefka]

That’s a Fortnite edition One S.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Ooo thanks! :)

[@katalinks]

boom!

[@highroyds]

isnt it 9 and not 10 lmao

[@blindbodger]

10 would be next, so 9 yup 🤣

[@JoeyDoesTech]

ROYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY 😂

[@tobik5253]

LETSGO

[@Tezz42]

Why don't these ebay scammers say that they have at least been in the device I cannot understand how there brain works knowing you can just send it back and why don't you wear sergical gloves instead of the whoolie ones

[@QGMODS]

Cool channel. You need new gloves! ffs!

[@dragos_NBK]

you just downgraded that xbox one s from a copper heatpipe cooling solutions to the shit af extruded aluminum stuff tbh i would just spend the extra time and clean the og cooler just so the customer is gonna get a tier A console that works better than OEM+

[@gomd3rd]

I want to see you buy broken computer parts and build custom computers. Then sell those off. Might be fun. I buy bad boards and unbend pins or switch out sockets to resell.

[@MrHeem94]

Just get an ultrasonic, dude. I mean come on. Or hey, perhaps a crowd funded is in order. There's no good reason not to have one in your repertoire. Attack me, bash me whatever comment section. I'm just sayin, if it makes your/his repair chances go up then IDK why it can't happen. And, unless an ultrasonic hurts the board, it should make the repairs more reliable/long lived in the long run.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

The issue isn’t the cost as they’re very reasonably priced, it’s that I don’t have room for one 😁
