Trying to Fix FAULTY Items on eBay for a Profit! S1:E89

[@davidroman2494]

That Switch hole is a (failed) Kamikaze method installation of a RP2040 chip. That's supposed to find point C that's under NAND memory. No idea why people still do this method when a good installed flex works like a charm with no risks

[@rainonme110]

Only time I do kamikaze is when I get a board that they damaged the emmc. if you have to reball the emmc, the adapters don’t fit worth a damn after

[@gamblerofrats]

Dat0 adapters are known to oxidise and break loose. They fail anywhere between a few months and a few years. The kamikaze method is 100x better for longevity and is easy once practiced.

[@davidroman2494]

@@gamblerofrats Highly doubt they fail if you reflow the EMMC

[@gamblerofrats]

@@davidroman2494 Reflow can cause solder cracking, and is arguably a similar difficulty to doing the kamikaze. Most chip installers prefer friction fit or kamikaze.

Gotcha! Makes sense haha. Learn something new all the time! Thank you 😊

I think the end of season reward for hitting the £1000 mark has to be getting yourself a fancy new tool to add to the arsenal, something to make repairs easier (or attempt more difficult ones) for season 2.

[@santih8477]

I see a game there...

[@harpingon]

Maybe an ultrasonic cleaner

[@JRBCubed]

I know it's been said, but I appreciate that you always mention airflow speeds and temps! Lots of repair videos such as this don't mention anything of the sort!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

You’re more than welcome

[@rainonme110]

The ol’ failed kamikaze method😅 if you ever get them I’ll buy them for your eBay prices but that probably just need a solder ball to reconnect the dat0 line the other layers aren’t necessary in that spot.

One of my first console fixes was a PS4 slim with a non-working disc drive. I took it apart and found a playing card and a kid's plastic tomato slice toy. Kids love to stick things in those disc slots!

Nothing more satisfying than unboxing 30 HDMI ports! 😁

[@RB-pc7tg]

I’ve done many long screw damage on iPhone boards. Start by looking at an original board in that area and see if it looks the same. Scrape away at the donor. It saves companies money by only changing what is needed for newer versions. So some areas are different and some are the same. You will find that trace layouts are simple and you just need to make micro jumpers across the broken traces. You are probably right that the 2nd layer is ground. Third layer is usually power but that depends on how many layers that board is. I design and layout pcb’s and can tell you that after watching your vids, you have the skills to repair that.

Nice work with the HDMI. 🎉

[@iamalezzio]

yeeeah day is rescued, joey pushed a video

[@JoeyDoesTech]

[@darkracer1252]

if you had the schematics. you COULD attempt a fix. 06:50 because you can overlay the schematics and see what traces those are. and then you can just fill that hole up with solder mask. and then run wires from where ever it's comming from and wherever it's going. (you CAN get your hands on these schematics. but it's technicly shady if you have those files when not AT work at nintendo.

[@AcidzDesigns]

No need to pull the white stickers of the back panel just disconnect the antennas and unscrew it, it will just lift away from the switch. the hole in the board is from the kamikaze method of doing a mod install, you grind away 3 layers of the PCB to expose the D0 trace from the nand, The seller or who ever owned it killed the D0 trace so its in RCM mode, repair for it will be to cover the hole with some UV mask and drop like a solder ball into the hole to try an restore the trace or slot in a d0 flex under the nand and add a modchip to make it boot

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Ooo thank you for the heads up :)

[@smokey481]

Best part of my Saturday morning

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

-- Spoiler Saver Sad for the OLED Switch but great for Parts. The PS5 and the Xbox One S where nice easy fixes for you. And Sally is happy too. So a big win today.

[@TheTinydogproduction]

Say you had someone (me) interested in learning how to do this. Someone handy. Where would you advise them to start from? Circuitry for Dummies? lol. I watch your videos and others similar, love them. I'd like to learn how to do this. Prepared to go the distance. Put the years in.

[@barraolivier2582]

Hello @JoeyDoesTech , where can that hdmi adapter for the T-824 can be found ? Do you have a link to promote ?

[@jdparker3]

Bought a hot air + solder tip solder station recently and snagged a few broken consoles to mess with. Recently saw your channel recommended after a Tronics Fix video and have been absolutely hooked on this series. Between his vids and yours, getting the itch to try about with it. Keeping an eye out for a decent deal on a Switch to try a RP2040 chip mod after I get some practice in with the station on these broken ones. Any tips for someone who has never soldered on pcb before? Most of my solder experience is just wire to wire, like installing car audio.

[@andrasszabo7386]

Nice screwhole, Joey :) Ask Phil(TheCod3r) about those board layers. I have seen him repair multiple layers a few times :)

Just as a heads up you do not have to take those sticky tapes off on the metal plate. the plate can be removed just as is.

Joey, please straighten the wooden Joey Does Tech KZbin sign behind you😂

Thank GOD for this total win (maybe 50/50 on the Nintendo switch) HOWEVER i think and I'm hoping and I'm wishing that in next 3 episode EXACTLY THE 3RD obviously :) will be the end of the Series I will pray for that. Thank you so much buddy 1st for the amazing idea of making such videos "I don't know if there others BUT WHO CARES you're the first and only one i saw making that kind of videos so I'm not gonna search for others Anyways i really REALLY wish you good luck with all your purchases IM SO SO SORRY I TALK TO MUCH BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU BEFORE ANYONE SCAM ME SO: I HAVE A NINTENDO THE VERY OLD ONE THAT YOU'VE TO PUT A SMALL DISK FROM THE TOP AND IT'S SMALL SQUARE SHAPED AND IT'S COMPLETELY OPERATIONAL JUST PUT THE DISK AND YOU'RE READY TO PLAY, so does it worth something?

Hi Joey, I found your channel on Wednesday. It's Sunday now and i've watched all 88 of series 1 in this time. I do have a question though. How much has Ebay earned?

[@dodgydruid]

I was kicking myself a bit, bought a component cable for my recent arrival phat PS3 project as the HDMI disnae work jimmy... gets it here and I unplug from the telly my daughter's PS2 cable... then swore a few minutes as both the same arrgh. PS3 powers on but no video and unlikely both are winkled so guessing its going to be a chip in there, I am looking out for a decent top shell I can paint with my airbrush, funny too in that I lack any PS3 games at all but do have every PAL released PS2 game and about 100 PS1 games am hoping some might work.

[@danielhulan3058]

It doesn't count as a hiccup Joey when you purposely make yourself fail because you wanna keep the board. I've omitted that episode. So let's just not talk about it lol

[@johnr3435]

Do you include Postage & Packing in your calculations - are these real profits? (and they don't include your labour of course )🙃

[@JoeyDoesTech]

The price I state to sell always excludes postage which is then paid by the buyer, however I don't take into considering the packaging. MOST of the time, the packaging is just re used from the item I buy faulty, however there are occasions where I use new boxes/bubble wrap which isn't taken into the costs :)

[@johnr3435]

@@JoeyDoesTech I'm always stunned at how much things go for on eBay even when sold for spares or repair. Seems almost impossible to get a real bargain on there. (Should have thought postage was paid by buyer of course via eBay) Good luck with your projects - you're obviously enjoying yourself. Very impressed with what you've achieved since 2020 given your start point!
