Trying to Fix FAULTY Electronic Items for a Profit! S2:E11

[@marcotinnirello6010]

Show me a more wholesome person on youtube. The nicest fellow around for miles. Nice touch giving it away, Joey. Joey, how can we all help you smash the 100k subs? Let’s make it happen.

[@danielhulan3058]

You did a fantastic job on that trace repair. Thats better than a bunch of other microsolderers. its even better than northridge fix. The wire follows the tace perfectly. Your way too humble joey.

[@NewVideoseeker]

You're right. I watch Northridge videos, he's good in his craft but sometimes it seems that he does the bare minimun in terms of clean and precise job. I know they run a business and have to maximise their profit, but a little bit of extra care would be greatly appreciated.

[@markmurphy3578]

It’s always a sod when something relatively simple trips you up. But I think you could really do with a better HDMI tester. Whether you would have found it quicker is hard to tell, but another learning opportunity has been made. Well done for giving the system away. 👏

[@qu3becker]

As per usual, my face have been properly welcome back. Will experience again :)

[@darylhudson777]

From my little bit of tinkering with electronics and watching more professional types I got to say that grounds and connections are just one of the major issues and I've seen hairline cracks where the piece that's broken into is touching and you can't even see the hairline crack maybe under a microscope but it just fit together so perfectly it's amazing

[@mikeromanage3696]

I usually do not comment on here, but I thoroughly enjoyed this whole PS5 journey from beginning to end. So many ups and downs. So many surprises during the live stream. In the end, it was a success. We'll done Joey and chat. Great teamwork gets great results.

[@Nilviz]

I am glad to see it is not just me going down rabbit holes to repair the problem only to find it was something simple. Great episode.

[@pimpedoutstereos9747]

Joey u really amaze me with ur persistence to figure these faults wen many other ppl would’ve thrown in the towel.

[@winky1441]

What a gentleman giving away a console. Great work 🎉

[@wulfie1199]

Man what a mission on this one! 10/10 for the effort and willpower not to give up on it!

[@danellabarnes-penman1118]

You are the GOAT, Joey! So happy for you fixing that and then giving it away! Well done, Mate!

[@scizorunleashed]

That's a great success, and I'm sure you've made Gary's Christmas! Excellent result

[@archael18]

That was an amazing video! I absolutely love the satisfaction when you get to a solution after a challenging fault.

[@jonjoem-walton7381]

You had me entirely hooked at the end there!

[@gabennewell7364]

This chanel is pure gold, i absolutely love it, good job!

[@0rDinaryRob]

It happens to the best of us! You figured it out, which is all that matters!!! Good luck to whoever gets it!!!

[@CallumFaulds1]

Wehey! Nicely done! We've all been there, spending hours diagnosing something which was right before our eyes.

[@Druid_Plow]

I've watched quite a few of these videos, probably started around ep.70-80 of season 1. This was my favorite so far. I hate seeing "no fix" from any repair tubers, i enjoy the deep dives that start with the obvious and find something new at the bottom. While I understand you need to make money for your time, I'm also in repair and understand time is money, but i hope you find more devices that your able to invest the extra time in to show us all more. I already know you're gonna shatter this seasons goal, but best of luck all the same.

[@The14Some1]

This is because there was a true investigation just like in those detective movies which is always entertaining.

[@danielhulan3058]

Joey you an absolute beast. Just in the year that I've been a subscriber you have made so much improvement in your abilities. Not just soldering but fault finding too. I cant wait to see you branch out of your comfort zone of ps5's and xbox's. Maybe see some stuff like MyMate Vince or Tronicsfix. Keep it up man and ill continue to be a dedicated viewer.

[@Paul-uy1ru]

I feel you! I work as a software dev and have had moments like you just did where I just stood up and stood there in disbelieve.

[@ajaks7636]

Well "Crazy", you fixed it! I guess that's why The Cod3r, cleans all his ports, after replacement. Sorry you went through all that. Great Repair and Video! Thank you.

[@ardatubes]

Ha, I had the exact same issue while soldering USB-C connectors back then for my prototype. I thought my flux was non-conductive as advertised and I didn't clean it well enough, but the short and the small ark happened later proved that my flux was conductive instead unlike advertised. Good work on this one!

[@The14Some1]

Well this I call a quality content! Finally you did some real investigation and learned something new. The question now is how the flux got into the port and how to prevent/early_detect this in the future. And I want to say a little bit more: this type of content is actually something people like to watch. You will be convinced about that by analyzing the views shortly. People do like drama and investigations by the same reasons they love to watch detective movies, and you did a great job with that regards here.

[@keithsmith7031]

The Cod3r runs into that issue with flux getting into port since he is always adding IPA to his cable and inserting it several times to clean it and his cable. Granted he does many more Joey since he does it as a business yet might be good ideal to also do just in case, other than that you are becoming much more of the kind of tech we all enjoy seeing. Happy holidays to U and your family from Alaska 😁

[@TonyUK_PC]

Really kind to give it aaya Joey, what a feeling hey :D

[@maxz8807]

awesome fix - even awesomer of you to give it away at the end!

[@michaelknowles1651]

Bon jour fella, glad to see the units got back up and running. I knew they was a chicken dinner parcel for you. Hay u never mentioned the £15 towards the banana stream. Nice work fella, glad to do business.

[@Mrc-waH]

That new glove feeling! I thought it was just me 😅

[@todormiroleskov8663]

Maaaan, sometimes we need to learn our lessons the hard way. Apart from that - amazing repair. And hell of a training project. I am about to start my own channel, so I will probably ping you to share some thoughts :D

[@tombyrnerocks]

What a rollercoaster!

[@govid0000]

Great video as always joey! I'll make sure to clean the flux out of hdmi on every console i fix from now on lmao ❤️

[@Boax69]

Nice job, time to have contact cleaner spray on deck. 🎉

[@acraft5264]

i love this series, keep it up!

[@peterjordan5947]

Im enjoying this, i dont understand much of it, but love the graft

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Appreciate that!

[@strmch8ser]

Great video. I would recommend buying some trace pad repair kits. Might make things easier.

[@gizmo1252000]

that was fluxtastic 🤣🤣 ,you live and learn . 😃 bring me sunshine

[@guillermoaparicioleon1581]

Great hands my man!

[@FilosofiaBastarda]

I repaired my nephew's ps4 yesterday. He said it was dropped and the HDMI port damaged so I thought "god, trace repairs". I opened it up and lo and behold, the chasis for the port was still soldered but the pins went flying around the board. The actual traces were clean and intact. It was either the best angle to smash the port with the cable inserted or weak joints from factory but the actual repair was only a port swap to my amazement. The cleaning was a pain though. A funny story I wanted to share.

[@Druid_Plow]

27:37 I have seen PS5 repair videos where that silly ribbon cable does cause boot issues, and I think it did need to be connected to boot also. May be worth trying a replacement. Edit. 35:10 Flux is non conductive, so it wasn't causing a short, it was causing no connection, intermittent connection, or elevated resistance. Recommend ultrasonic cleaning before shipping.

[@NnowhaHomaluv-vw9qc]

At min 6:02 i wanted you to lick the hair behind the HDMI port 😂😂😂😂😂 NOOOOO of course I'm kidding

[@EDOD_EseDelOtroDia]

See? Sometimes it's just the drive to give up that leads to to believe that something is not fixable. You're overcoming that limitation with this one step.

[@dodgydruid]

I got my less than a pound Aliexpress USB-C T75 soldering iron arrived today, I needed a chisel tip and was looking on Ali and this iron was a fraction of the tips I needed for my other irons and I like to have set and forget irons and have them like an array of different shaped tips with my long thin conical on my hot air/solder rework station, a big phat bugger on my Katsui station, a couple of crow beaked which I converted to hook into the rework station using cheap plugs off of Ali but no chisels. I dug out a 20v power brick for a laptop as it can take 24v and it does what it says on the tin, its getting put to use tomorrow as going to get at that bloody dock filter on my Switch and because its got a very long cable I will get at soldering in the new bits into my ebike as the battery side is now all correctly fitted as is the charge side and just got to use the iron to solder the charger socket into the loom. I also bought a big bag of Wago connectors that can be locked together which will be weapon of choice wiring in new controller and hoping next week will be zipping about. Also I get my 3 wheel van back soon yay I missed bombing about here in my little Reliant, I like to take friends to the places they shot scenes from A touch of Glass the chandelier episode of Only Fools and Horses, aside from the studio stuff all shot around this part o' Dorset :)

[@idallas4964]

I'm upvoting for the new gloves. Haha

[@Julesnz2008]

Enjoyed this one's result 😂

[@FearlessHobbyProduct]

Can you warm up the port just prior to installation on a hot plate or something

[@TonyGanzerMedia]

What a roller coaster!

[@ceefusjenkins2281]

I hated doing trace repair! More than once I just got up from my bench and left it for another day.

[@gregthatcher919]

With a glove sponsor, that new glove feeling would feel alot more familiar. Lol.

[@Druid_Plow]

I personally don't agree with filling the mounting holes of an HDMI port when flowing it on, but if it works for you go for it. I would still tin the pads, but solder the mounts after making sure the legs are good. But again, if it works it works.

[@dodgydruid]

Folks might think with the cap at 31 mins, its touching should work but in electrics and esp electronics a loose joint leads to a resistance to begin to build up which will thwart capacitance and other operations as less than demanded volts and its power behind it the "driving" force is much less and that circuit fails.

[@FR4M3Sharma]

Man I would'a tossed it outta the video! Holy smokes! 😂😂

[@bellafiasandpuppies4220]

Loved that video lol 😅

[@williamgrenville1203]

I swear I've seen this before this video same 2 caps missing under apu and one came of with tweezers and flux in the port 😅 either way enjoyed the video or maybe I was watching the stream 😅

[@frozerinosrepairs]

Great video again ❤❤❤❤

[@magnus33john]

Likely there was some contamination in there along with the flux

[@jfmc2004]

Amazing

[@User-ts2jj]

Great video Joe. How can I get into fixing boards so I can learn properly instead of just messing around on my own?

[@keevstr]

I happened to have watched that stream. EPIC! If a cold HDMI port takes a bit longer to take on the solder, could it possibly be benefical to warm up the hdmi port on a mug warmer or something like that?

[@joaquinrodriguez206]

Hey! Before anything I love these videos. So I`ve been trying to get a broken switch to repair, but here in spain seems impossible. it looks like everyone wants to do that, Every single one that appears online sells in seconds. Could you sell any of the ones you have laying arround? If not, no worries still love ya.

[@LIAM-zk9kx]

Oh My Fluxxing God..... This has been the most frustrating video, but a satisfying end :D

[@Kcii-99]

low firmware doesnt matter on discless ps5s due to not being able to crack them as you need to go online to pair the disc drive to the console

[@bryandrobny7690]

Joey is a Leg man i bet! 🤣

[@dodgydruid]

I had to do a swifty fix today, I bought a new gaming single hand keypad for my MMOs and well the new one is a pile of coiled brown things on the neighbours lawn so quickly tore down my very old CyberSnipa which to be fair is godlike, the 3 pad is blown out but easy to reassign games around that and I paid a lot of money for it back in the day when I was a semi-pro World of Warcraft tank which I started play the day it came out. Folks avoid the Limeide GK103S keypad, its cheap and its junk I opened it up and it would take me a year with conductive paints to redraw the hardly etched traces under a peeling solder mask, I haven't binned it as I remembered I have a mechanical keyboard with Cherry switches and keys and was thinking maybe I can take the switches and keys off the broken mechanical keyboard and build a decent mechanical game pad. I also installed my brand new Asus TUF aura keyboard, which is abs gawjus and has some amazing features, earlier I had it set to music reactive and watched Elliot Coll's watch video an it was astonishing light display :D

[@AlexanderHall2540]

I can’t wait to see some greeeeeeen profits

Hi mate love your videos. Random question me and my lass have been trying to work out where your from but can't!

[@Mr-ZinK]

thecod3r will be disappointed in you XD, always clean with ipa after aha

[@TheBadboync]

hey Joey. their was a bridge under the port as you said the one pin is ground but is connected to a via. that would be the problem

[@wittsy]

Hi @JoeyDoesTech can you tell me where you bought the HDMI tester from please?

[@danielhulan3058]

Joey, i just watched your live stream from Sunday. You had a viewer who commented on the new format. Using bits from your live streams to do reg. videos. I gotta say I love this channel and the community. Especially the community. Us JDT'ers are so positive and good natured. But i kindof agree with the comment about the new format. Here's my reasoning. I like watching both live and every episode. If I watch live, there's no point in watchin the videos. I could just watch the videos but then I miss out on interacting with the community. I'd rather be in the live stream. Is there a way to maybe do one video a week based off of live stream land the other based on original content? No hate whatsoever. I get needing less stress. I'm 2 classes from my masters degree to be a therapist and I work with children in the mental health field as a counselor. Its tough. But could that be a happy medium? I'll post this on the discord too to see feedback. Love ya JDT'ers and Joey. You guys make my day 5 days a week lol.

Are the videos just going to be live streams re-uploaded as videos from now on?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Not always, just allows me to get ahead a little bit more and also 95% of people haven't seen the livestream content :) It can be difficult getting enough devices for both livestreams and the videos.

-- Spoiler Saver That was a Rollercoaster with this console. but it worked out in the end.

[@ManifikoBZH]

Seeing so many consoles with HDMI connectors in poor condition, I wonder how a console that is not portable can have problems like this. And I really think that these are in fact consoles that were quickly ripped from their location and therefore they are stolen consoles resold on ebay. I don't know what the console usage habits are like in the UK (I'm French), but I don't think people who paid over £500 for a machine would use it with such little consideration.

Hey Joey, I love your content but these live stream reruns drive me crazy. When are you going to put out a real video?

[@proesterchen]

It should be common courtesy to do the trace repair first, then drop the port on the repaired traces, as the other way around is just a dick move to the next guy having to replace the HDMI port on a board.
