Trying to Fix FAULTY Items on eBay for a Profit! S1:E95

[@marios3202]

Joey, while I'm very proud, as someone that's watched this whole series, that you're almost at the $1,000 profit mark, I think I speak for the entire JDT community when I say, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WANTS THIS SERIES TO GO AWAY AND WE DEMAND SEASON 2, WITH A GOAL OF $1,500. Ok that's all. Love the videos 😀

[@havaham]

Seconded!

[@WoWarrsaw]

Hard disagree!!! .... needs to be £2000 for Season 2!

[@riann458]

Please do season 2!

[@craigelement7256]

Deffo season 2 with 2g profit 👍🏻

[@marios3202]

@@TheM0nkeyBomb this would literally be like a 1,000 episode season 2 lol.. unless he started buying broken cars on eBay to try and fix those instead lol.

[@haideralikhan5947]

Season 1 has been a blast. As others are saying, for season 2 you should get out of your comfort zone and repair something totally different like TVs, Laptops etc... That would be awesome

[@audas]

A Mclaren.

[@e1tuomas]

Card in the disc reader is 100% toddlers shenanigans. Our kids love to stuff random stuff into random gaps.

[@cbhonda90]

Whoever owned that white xbox 1 S got tired of all the micro transactions and just gave them their card

[@HeliNerd1701]

And it ate it out of spite

[@katalinks]

In season 2 please expand your choices in matter of repairing.I love seeing consoles repaired but something different from time (like a laptop,phone etc)to time is very welcomed

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Credit card?!? Put that into Sally Spectacular, you can retire!!!!

[@MrBoop4345]

Joey, thanks for your great content. I've learned so much from watching your channel. I have some soldering skills. I tried to do a Switch USB C change and failed hard. Got discouraged and it sat on my bench for a few months. Then I started watching you and learned so many good tips. Then I retried with your methods and had a great success! Cheers to you mate 🍻

[@oortcloud210]

I know it's verging on begging now... but I want you to do a series working through all the old retro consoles trying to fix each one. You can start with my OG XBOX which I am very sentimentally attached to and would love you to fix! 🙏😆

[@floppy-button]

If he doesn't go that route, check out @retrosix --his repairs are primarily on old machines and also really entertaining to watch

[@richardfarthing4619]

Joey been watching for the past 8 months, and you really make the videos interesting to watch and you explain so much. My new favorite channel. And how you have learnt so much since starting is an amazing achievement. Rich

[@wassimnasri3758]

6:00 well we know that's steeve can apply the perfect amount of thermal paste

[@TheArmase]

You should start buying laptops for season 2 . There are a lot of simple fixes that can bring good money if you know how.

[@CupsterMc]

Yes That will be interesting

[@Daekanoid]

Totally agree! Laptops would be super cool!

[@TenkaiSp]

Also a lot more broken APUs.

[@-Deena.]

The debit card is definitely the work on small hands. My son once 'posted' a slice of toast into my VCR, as I watched him in disbelief ❤❤

[@realdeskent]

Okay Joey, let me honestly talk about how you became my favourite "repair youtuber". You have started as a beginner (basically), you said openly that your work could be better, and you successfully evolved to this "repair master" I'd say. As much as I like both Steves (Tronics and Stez) and Coder, you're for me basically the amalgamate all the qualities that's necessary to be successful in this field, I mean great explanation, great to watch, no overly long tech talk. I'm safe to say that we're happy for your S1 accomplishments. Keep up the fantastic work @JoeyDoesTech

[@itsyouxze1403]

Hi Joey i just wanted to tell you that i really enjoy your videos and could bingewatch them for hours and hours on end, you are inspiring and patient, i learned a lot from you. Keep it up boss!

[@virgildeklerk]

Love this serie and all other content you make. You're skills of streaming and soldering have really grown a lot. Can't wait for season 2 🎉

[@Day100]

I'm honestly happy you're just fixing things. I hope youtube makes up for the earnings!

[@BC-ji9xr]

Joey, I recently found your channel and love it! Have you thought about fixing faulty GPUs? I would love to see some of those shoved into your videos. Maybe even just expanding the memory on them.

[@Rankoldbeast_UK]

Fairly new sub. This vid marks me catching up after powering through the whole series. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks, Joey

[@keithgoldston2859]

I came late to the show you had around 15 episodes in before I found this series but I've watched them all glad you got it so close this time another great episode

[@danellabarnes-penman1118]

How cool to have been on this entire ride with you! I don’t want it to end, though! ❤

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Ok ok ok. You may not have checked the most important part, was the screw thread ripped out for the screw below the warranty sticker?

[@MiddletoM]

8:46 made me chuckle

[@Ac3R71J0]

man vs machine... vs sometimes not noticing the xbox x's hdmi glued to the board... it has been a great ride Joey boy! and i hope we reach the goal before the 100 episode. I love your work and hope you have a great shop one day! Cheers from Argentina=)

[@James-iq4fz]

You're inspiring me to spend money on a hobby I can't afford :)

[@davidhughes4089]

Tell me about it 😂

[@psycomutt]

What multimeter do you use or which would you recommend? Mine is a cheapy and I want an upgrade.

[@dabasalomon4764]

Well, I learned throught experience, that statement as "oh it's just a bad power supply" does not apply in many cases 😆 Recently I tried to repair a device that started right away after repairing PSU, but little did I know. It showed errors on one of the stages, that I tried to investigate using PC software, just to find out that it couldn't establish connection, which was another of it's issue... Broken power supply was just a gentle introduction to many more challenging problems 😁

[@jayfeser5259]

Love this series! For series 2, your spreadsheet could also calculate profit per hour. 🤣

[@adriannp.]

Congrats Joey, lets gooo!!!!! 🎉

[@patrickdeunhouwer5926]

Always relaxing to see you replace a HDMI port :)

[@thekuba9352]

Absolutely love this series

[@euroreborn2951]

love your content Joey, please keep it coming, you deserve more subs :)

[@TahaUsman0804]

The professional went to get a coffee 😂

[@flightsimdev9021]

In any repair you have to include solder, flux and labour, time is worth something!

[@dariooddera9714]

Well done Joey. One more and open a season two please.

[@twinsen04]

I'd love season 2 with something a bit different. Maybe trying to fix different more complicated stuff like graphics cards, on top of the usual. And some upgrades, like clean gloves.

[@pedromimoso8804]

Almost there, Joey! 👍👍👍

[@Odinthedark1]

I've been curious what setup you are using, my current Yihua is struggling with thicker boards, cant remove ports...I was told on reddit it's because my air gun has an in handle blower. I'd wish i'd known better before purchasing it, but what can you do. I'm relatively new to soldering myself, and work for a company that does their business on amazon, in the returns department fixing broken returns, would love to be able to do this on the side as well, not the streaming just the side gig for money lol. Personally looking into an Xtronic 4040 Pro X Platinum series.

[@intoxicode]

Joey I think the reason we're seeing a lot of solder paste in the industry everywhere all over the planet is because a lot of hardware stores are carrying it now as a stock item. It takes low heat to use instead of buying a soldering iron and soldering equipment and I think people are thinking they can do repairs without investing into soldering tools.. including people who aren't even in the repair industry. Like literally in the United States you can go to any home Depot or Lowe's and get solder paste and attempt repairs with just a lighter or torch and a tube of paste...

[@DaveC-xe5ns]

Great video. Did you manage to remove the stains mentioned at the start of the video? I’ve got a console with similar shiny stains and unable to remove them.

[@BradPrichard]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who stores my half credit cards in my consoles.

[@jamiwilliams2840]

I have an xbox series s with no other issues other than a damaged hdmi port. It was about 3 months old before my son rammed a hdmi cable in and knackered all the little bits in it. How much can i get for that console?

[@brettgas2787]

what mat do you use please

[@patriceevra4]

This CC actually happened to me! Took my old ps4 about 9 years ago to a repair shop as the disc drive stopped working. Turned out my 3 year old at the time had put my bank card in the slot. So the previous owner probably had a mischievous kid

[@darrencoyle3290]

Hi Can you tell me what solding station that you are using ?? thanks..

[@fsociety.dat101]

Joey, how can I get to your standard of circuit analysis and repair? So far, I've just been covering basic electrical engineering and electronics with a udemy course, but I don't feel this theory is going to teach me how to troubleshoot.

[@Moby41]

Credit card in the disc drive is foreshadowing the future of gaming and microtransactions

[@aserta]

4:28 Guys, we've been bamboozled.

[@SomeTheorist9090]

If it makes you feel better... People have been trying to fix their ports with glue guns since they 90s. Someone tried to fix their serial port (the OG serial) with a glue gun. The thought they used war I **** you not was that a glue gun and a soldering iron looked similar.

[@gainmaster1]

Do you open up power supply's to try fix? good fixes

[@ryaninuksaq]

How much do you charge for? I have a Xbox one S or something I’m not in to Xbox but will working on it for some reason no more power and something wrong with the eject button or something?

[@Sezze123]

Someone's other half wasn't happy and shoved the card in the disk drive lmao. Been great watching this season. Hopefully once this season finishes, well get more seasons of glorious goodness

[@AUSTORMCHASERS]

Do you only fix game consoles? Would love to see other stuff like cameras etc.

[@alessandrovirdis520]

So close!!! 💪🏻

[@maxz8807]

14:28, excuse me, 2:22AM? Go to bed mr joey!

[@Unjustself]

When the season ends you should do a best of video and a blooper video

[@garyeast7259]

The card in the disc drive doesnt surprise me in the slightest. My kid has put coins in the tv vents. He put bread and chips down the exhaust of my motorbike and he post the letters an toys back out the letterbox. Oh and lego men down the mouth of a walking trex toy that jammed that up.

[@theshemullet]

We teach small children to put wooden blocks of different shapes and sizes, into there respective spaces. So it makes sense to the that a nectar card should fit into that slot :)

[@gentle285]

Yes, we tech them that, then get mad if they actually apply what they have learned (paying with card through the disc drive)

[@Allthegearnoidea1111]

I suspect it was opened before because if you look at the label you can see a faint diagonal line just past the screw

[@TheRepeatloader]

Heya - glad to see another video . I do have a challenge for you if you get this... the game gear from sega has a screen that has 68 pin ribbon cable that has to have each pin soldered. very hard to line up even with tips from retrosix can you come up with a method to make it easier to line up and solder those cables? :D

[@JohnGotti__]

MX 4 term paste is good choice :)

[@EDOD_EseDelOtroDia]

Will you give a try at graphics cards in the next season? Or what will be the difference?

[@rudeq86]

8:46 in the back you are going to see that those are big balls yeah... nice! Is this channel kids safe Joey? 😛

[@fsociety.dat101]

"Now on the back, you can really see that those are big balls....nice."

[@shaylevinzon540]

Nice I wonder what's waiting on season 2

[@DNBCYPHER]

mate i once stuffed a jam sandwich in my aunties new technique's tape cassette player, a band card is nothing! lol

[@genfix]

Season 2: You should get progressively more expensive broken electronics using the profit from the previous to buy the next, goal at the end is to sell the end item for £1,000.

[@CTCTraining1]

Well done … goal within sight 😀👍 …. Maybe time to start preparing to work on newer gear or widen into the laptop/MacBook world??

[@Damastes76]

Did they just slap solder paste on there and then hotglue it in place? Boggles the mind.

[@allweekend88]

Thermal paste legend

[@KateMichtell]

Good job 👏

[@Darkest_matter]

subbed. wanna get back into fixing stuff. had a moto g13 for a while ago and fixed the screen but it didn't come with adhesive on the spare part screen and my lil bro broke it. thankfully replacement screens on them phones are only £10

[@PIasticShadow]

super glue = expert ofc

[@ProgrammeerMeneer]

Season 1 has to end on episode 99 or 100!

[@fsociety.dat101]

He goes in an anticlockwise rotation. Because it feels more comfortable.

[@colinboneham7387]

So close now can almost see the finish line, cross fingers it will be next episode.

[@OneElkCrew]

interesting to watch, but the xbox or playstation gets old and repetitive

[@gregthatcher919]

Hey Joey I am currently repairing a ls2 and I see you find these thorough repair guides for consoles, would you be able to help me find a repair guide for a ps2?

[@jimattard5240]

Hi son hope you’re all great ❤❤❤

[@Jerbod2]

I never expected the profit per episode to be 10 pounds or less on average. Hard repairs too most often, thats pretty sad really that there's practically no money to be made repairing stuff.

[@fouadmida2230]

you didn't add the replacement port price Joey lol. (-60.53$).

[@chipstix_213]

I would love to see if you can get in contact with the repair person using hot glue and no heat 😅

[@CrashFan03]

"credit card? you've got it"

[@whotfaskedbro6730]

Joey mate, have you tried fixing GPUs?

[@netherfred]

4:22 I donut believe it either

[@ROKEY88]

S2 For Lptop .... Vote 👇

[@SushiGoLarge]

The warranty stickers can be bought on ebay for cheap, no way the person who done this job with the hot glue is going to be taking that sticker off without even a wrinkle

[@aethersx2-samsunggalaxys206]

The last one s system I fixed had a provisional license in the disk drive

[@Cyemese]

I'm sure solder paste has it's applications. I however will never be touching it unless I really need to. 💀

[@Foxx_69]

Its season 1 coming to a close! Not the channel! Sheesh people settle down..

[@charlesmott8863]

Ahh so close :) Port replacements at the speed of light now :) Worse thing is, you already know the end result :p

[@Aged_Rebel]

Did the guy from last episode Ever get back to you?

[@KyleSand]

1000 pounds in profit, 10000 in parts inventory. Thats how my fixing goes.

[@Google_Is_Evil]

I would love to see a new season, but please make some changes if this one has ended. I would like to propose that "regular" consoles get their own type of series and you reserve the eBay series for the outliers. It will force your creativity in finding interesting things to repair, will increase (hopefully) the chance of finding something not chewed up and spit out by a previous repair "technician" and it will teach you much more about repairing things you have seldom/never seen before. Like I said, no reason to stop repairing the PS5 or the Xbox series X, but please keep them out of the eBay challenge.

[@colinboneham7387]

That poor Xbox, the only thing I will add is they didn’t pull any pads off as that would be a real toaster.

[@MikeG-rh1lk]

Bought from same seller, retimer and 1tb drive both failed at the same time 🤔

[@DevnMEleven]

Yeah stopping this series would be VERY stupid lol.

[@hmartinlb]

Pretty sure that's someone's spare bin assembled into a console. (first console)

[@ColaBeGaming]

The microtransactions are getting too crazy when people start putting in their credit cards in to their consoles

[@bigsam72]

My three-year-old daughter, she broke a skewer and stuck it in the PS3 drive.

[@simonburrough1954]

Come on Joey target of £1000 next video you can do it 👍
