SPOILER So… after playing the Xbox for a bit after, it randomly kept turning the display off, followed then by shutting down. I also noticed that it skips half the boot animation, so thought it might be SSD related. I’ve swapped over the SSD to another, however keep having the same issues, the console doesn’t stay on for longer than 10 minutes 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

[@n4_ku]

Thanks for being honest.

[@chriskane482]

that sucks man! love watching these videos, very informative!

[@oxideiscrazy]

:( guess we‘ll try another day. Keep up the good work tho. Always nice to check out some repairs. 👍

[@semiblade]

Hey, maybe you'll find this other culprit too! It's always amazing to see how happy/excited you are when you fix something!

[@NowInAus]

Sad update… gutted for you

[@jasperhans1296]

i love how joey uses calculator to calculate the total sell price, before entering it in the spreadsheet. While you can just put both prices into the spreadsheet and let the spreadsheet calculate it for him 😂😂

[@ErickBuildsStuff]

In Germany we also calculate the time spent as a price. Since it‘s a hobby, may be it is zero value for time invested.

[@EkosFoxLeviathan]

Nice video as always Joey!! :) So crazy that a tiny capacitor can make a device stop work completely

[@adriannp.]

And sometimes nothing broken but little cracks in the welding spots...

[@awall1701]

If that was my spreadsheet, I think everything would be showing red for every item!

[@MercilessH]

Another tech repair channel, I cant get enough of these, love them all, welcome to my special playlist that consists of the cod3r, tronicsfix, and my mate Vince, welcome joey. Looking forward to watching your videos bro

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou and welcome :)

[@MrTommyOnTour]

I recently stumbled onto your channel and I really enjoy it. I love tech but am not brave enough to repair stuff myself. Thank you for all your videos I find them truly enjoyable.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou and welcome :)

Sally is surely more happy today. Great jobs! Thank you for the good entertaining.

[@theawfulgambler]

Love this series!

[@jediknight2350]

well done great videos im learning stuff all the time by watching thanks.

[@dom1310df]

FYI the isopropyl alcohol evaporates, rather than dissolves.

[@balin1600]

dissolving anything on the board would be really interesting though, rather alarming i would say.

[@jaycircuits]

Great repair man. Love those one cap fixes 🤤

was looking out for another video! have a nice weekend

Great video joey .. amazing fix

Yay Joey!! Another Great Video! Thank You. 😁

Always entertaining. I’d buy a switch you have repaired after watching the repair process.

Wewt! Always love new videos to kick off the weekend! Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far

[@virgildeklerk]

Great video, good profit, nice find and fix and i can't wait for the next episode

Thanks Virg :)

Great finds and awesome work

[@axelusi]

Great work Joey!!!

[@DrMuFFinMan]

This might sound stupid, but when using the flare camera to find a heated component on the board. Could you perhaps cool the board off in a cooler of some sorts to help equalize the temperature across the board to better see hot spots? Sorry if that's a dumb question but didn't know if that would better help to find bad components.

[@deanwalkington6165]

Great video Joey

[@NowInAus]

Face slap for series X success. Gotta be a regular thing now Joey! Well done on tracking down that cap

[@VampyRagDoll]

Nintendo do do replacement joysticks but they want proof of purchase. 😡

[@Steezy967]

Hi Joey, I have been getting into your videos a lot lately and great to see that you have been learning along the way. Can I ask how you started? I would love to pick this up as a little hobby but wondering where do you start? Did you follow anyone on here that started your journey? Many thanks and keep up the good work!

[@richardpund]

Really glad you replaced the capacitor with the same one from the donor board rather than just removing it. Without enough capacitance on a voltage supply it can become unstable and lead to brown-outs or other unpredictable behavior.

[@pedromimoso8804]

Nice One!

[@gravedigga71]

Thanks joey for another great video. I've watched them all so far. Very entertaining content. 🙂 Could you please tell me what kind of tool you're using for the isopropanol alcohol? I saw the same thing also in your rocket repairs videos. Well, most of the time i see only the tip of it. 😄

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I’m only using a small needle nose pot bud. Very cheap on Amazon for a pack of 5 or so :)

I need a switch dock ac adaptor , do you have a ebay page ?.

[@ryanjones7681]

You not disconnecting the ribbon cables gave me a panic attack..

[@njones621]

I love watching thee videos and I have learned a lot, but I am stuck on one. I have a Switch that doesn't appear to power on. When I plug in the meter. It shows about 14.8 volts and amps around .3-.4, but the longer I leave it charging, the amps go down eventually to almost nothing. I've also tried holding the power button down, and sometimes when I do, amps go to zero. Any idea what that could indicate? Thanks for the help!

[@jgillette98]

I like how in the thumbnail it reads Le Fragile. Lol

[@NotYourAvrg]

Lets gooo!!!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

[@soulmourne2698]

Analog sticks is not the only design problem these have, the srsl, sync button and 4 led little board the cable always tears couse the design is crap and its bent against the battery, mine broke without opening it up and a lot of them are breaking down, nintendo says nothing of that and nobody complains, in mine i changed the analog sticks for aliexpress ones but i couldnt find a quality replacement for those little boards for the multiplayer buttons, i tried out a couple of them and both broke when installed and bent against the battery couse the design is awful bad. Its like batterys, when we wanna fix something there is not quality replacements anywhere to buy for devices, i have been dissapointed lots of times buying new batteries for laptops and phones and they were all garbage, then there is people and goverments complaining about polution and they dont do their job to ensure we can fix things and polute less, the people that complain about others poluting are usually the people that polute the most by changing their car every 2 years and their phone and laptop every year for new ones. Anyway, nice fixes Joey.

[@markg.3171]

New one yay

[@johnburrows7938]

Winner winner

[@thresh-]

Another sure way to find a hot component if one is unsure due to it being part of a little cluster of components is to undergo the ouchie test. It is a very simple procedure with minimal risk to the person conducting it. The method? Touching it 😂

[@EdithWeston]

What in earth does the thermal paste do? love watching these getting repaired.

[@riotaken]

Thermal paste gets in to any inconsistencies between the material thats cut on the apu and the heatsink allows for a much better heat transfer.

[@stevefox3763]

The SL and SR buttons are another dumb design decision on the joycon, the buttons dont fail, its the way the ribbon cable is aggressively folded and its that fold on the cable that causes the failure.

[@jupujii]

Great job! But you could calculate everything in the Excel 😅

[@LingsKazemiro]

Love the content and the repair side of things, but feel like guestimating a sell price is a bit of a cop-out like those storage wars shows. You can put it up for sale and then update the SSS as you go along to show the actual profit/loss, no need to say your profit is x when in fact it might not be close or it might even be higher. As a viewer I'd prefer the 2nd option, but I guess that's only my opinion.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Completely respect the opinion. I do all recording and editing in one day (a very long day 😅) and barely have time to list anything let alone package and send out etc. If I accurately updated the spreadsheet to represent the sold prices, it would probably be one video every three weeks 😂 I simply need more time to do it :)

[@llamudos9809]

If you repair these items and they caused a fire would you be liable? Do you need insurance ?

[@brake_4_cake]

There's a big difference between doing s stupid thing because you know you'll probably get away with it and doing a stupid thing when you don't know how to do it properly

Have you ever considered sourcing from recycling centers? I've only looked for electronics a few times and have gotten a tablet, a ps2, and a few phones

[@heatedgamer2931]

Can i ask how you went about doing that?

[@hanslumbridge5349]

@@heatedgamer2931 when bringing rubbish to the dump I'd look at the electronic waste part and if I saw something I wanted I would ask a member of staff could I take it, every time I have asked so far they have said yes

[@SimonRileyGhost141]

You did a good job but i don't understand why you buy a faulty series x for a 140 £. It should be 100 or less and if it opened before it will definitely less. Anyway thank you for your videos

[@rrwholloway]

Why ‘should’ it be £100 or less? It’s the price that people are willing to buy it for… A quick check of Ebay bids on spares or repairs Series X consoles show that people are willing to bid over £100 for them.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

You’re welcome :) if I can sell it for £300-£350, I would have doubled my profit. That’s why I believe it to be worth buying :)

[@Roy_C4]

Nope you are right they have started to change the sticks for free.

[@wutzittoya]

No overall profit/loss update?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Sorry!

[@QsTechService1]

Those dirty little capacitors .. Nice fine joey

[@Emulleator]

using the calculator app right next to excel feels weird

I’m a noob 😀

[@yatagarasu1495]

10:57 the isoprop is not desolving.. its evaporating :) It wont desolve into the board (that would be another problem lol)

Evaporating - not dissolving... 🤓

[@joebloggs3358]

the profit and cost is irrelevant as we will never know what they ever sell for and how long they will take to sell.maybe just stick to repairs.the profit part is fairytales

[@JoeyDoesTech]

How long they take to sell is irrelevant imo. Price I agree, however it would be almost impossible to sell everything I “fix” within a week. It doesn’t give a full picture I agree, but gives a rough idea :)
