Spoiler Saver and Fun Fact Did you know? If your circulatory system were laid out flat, so your veins, arteries, and capillaries were stretched out it would cover 100,000 miles!!!!!! WHAT! I can't get my head around that 🤯

Great stuff Vince. Your soldering has come a long way! Good to see the upgrades too, you're going to love them. On a side note, if you need spares, I have stacks of them. I can send you some replacement cases, ports etc if you need them, maybe do a revisit on it for another video if you wanted to? Happy to send you a care package 📦

I reckon someone tripped over the cables with it on the floor and then stood on it in the ensuring panic. Great repair Vince.

Spinning discs REALLY hate being dropped, or thrown from a window...nice work.

I thought for sure with a drop that bad there would be some BGA ICs needing replacement. I guess it depends more on when the drops occurs (under use or after the board has cooled). Rather it's was a bit of luck I suppose really just needing a new HDD. Nice repair overall Vince!

Hi There, I absolutely love your channel!! I suffer with Anxiety and depression and your videos have been a godsend to me over the last year 😀

In the next episode: Vince will try to fix his wrist or sell it for spare parts

**ADDENDUM** With Cracked Plastic you can super glue the cracks together by ensuring enough glue is used so that excessive glue oozes out on both sides of the crack for you to promptly clean the excess away from the external surface, Once the glue is set, I found using an old soldering iron and some sacrificial internal plastics from the repaired case "or if handy some other case" the cracks can be reinforced by melting extra plastic on the inside over the crack, if enough glue was used and the clean up done in time the crack should remain undetectable..

Excellent job Vince. Always nice to another item be saved from e-waste. Makes me want to get out my soldering iron, but I have nothing to fix, yet.

I loved watching you chase that solder around at about 26:15 😄

what an awesome repair Vince great seeing you replace the ports and getting it all working again :) good job :)

Another Great Repair Vince! I've been busy doing a few bits and bobs myself.

Now you have the new tools, I expect nothing but perfection on all the soldering from now on. Good fix. Feels like half of your patreons are in our facebook group lol

Loving the content so far, got me inspired to open up and clean some of my consoles.

I have this exact same problem with my Xbox One S (although without the physical damage or HDMI port problem) and now I should be able to fix it! Thanks Vince for this amazing video! You're a life saver :D

Another great video to watch on my birthday This day just gets better and better!

I was wondering how long till we got to see a Hakko appear in the videos ! And when you realize what a proper iron can do for the repairs, wow! Congrats on the upgrade Vince !

Good luck with the hand vince, i wouldn't have picked you for a skater, but it is always nice knowing more about you.

Hello Vince, another good video. Regards to the air machine how about putting some sort of brush on the end , so as the air blows you could also brush whatever you are trying to clean might get a better results.

Wishing you a fast recovery, mate.

You are almost at a million subs!! Way to go Mate!

Thoroughly enjoyed this one mate, the power of the Hako looks amazing! 😎😊

Very cool you were able to get that fixed for them again! I did a similar button swap on a set of computer speakers - one of the buttons on control box failed (turned it on once to many times I suppose) so I swapped it with a different button that I never used

Hey Vince, I absolutely love your channel. I have learnt so much from them. I was wondering if you would be willing to make a video of all your gadgets and tools that you use? Especially the small testers that you use.

Nice upgrades Vince, you’ll find it much more pleasant working on boards that suck up the heat with those tools!

What? Flew out a window? These repairs keep getting crazier! Nice video

The fact this Xbox One works despite this kink is a bloody miracle! The location of the kink is indeed the saving grace! And it’s no surprise the hard drive stopped working. If the Xbox One itself suffered that much damage, the hard drive must’ve taken a massive hit. It may be more vulnerable when it’s spinning, but with enough force, even an inactive hard drive won’t survive.

Nice to see your port soldering job is getting better.

The thing about canned air is that it doesn't actually contain air, because the pressure needed to liquidise air is much larger than a simple spray can will contain. So aside from the obvious waste from the cans, you're spraying either pure butane, propane, or fluorocarbons in the air.

Great job, Vince 👍

Another great video. you inspire me so much.

Nice choice with the new gear, I’ve used The quick 861DW for a couple of years now, it’s a great unit.

Great work as always, and congrats on your new equipment👍 Would love to see a video where you show your equipment, solder/hot air station, microscope, cameras, mic etc. Doesn't have to be a long video, maybe 10mins, like a Tea break show and tell😄 And maybe some links to where you buy things like solder, flux etc.

Fantastic work well done mate

Great video vince mate 👍

Well done Vince great video 👍

14:54 I love that the Salvation Army brass band was playing right outside your house during this repair! 😋

love these vids vince :)

Amazing fix Vince. 👍

That skateboarding story alone deserves a like for the video!

So sorry to hear about your accident Vince I hope your wrist gets better soon here are some chocolates and some flowers just for you my mate Vince 🍫💐

Good fix. May have been less exciting and not the most long-lasting fix, but you saved it from the landfill for now and hopefully by the time it goes fully, it'll be time to get the next gen Xbox anyways.

I started listening to Sleepaway Camp.🎶from one of your previous videos. Great band.

Well done! Great fix!

Amazing that it works at all after that kind of damage. Quite fittingly watched this episode using Xbox One S, but mine is the disc version :)

Great fix! That xbox one s … also known as the SAD version.. was looking like it before you got to it!

Been wanting to comment on your new equipment for a while! Nice one! Would you consider perhaps making a video on what you have now? Especially the microscope! Been struggling to find one that will work properly and is not too much over the top!

Good fix Vince.

To skip the high price of the data vac, I bought an electric pump from argos for £15 which is supposed to blow up air beds and paddling pools ect..., it does the trick amazingly, it has adapters and with a little modification you can hook up different size tubes.

Love you have new setup would like too see the model of microscope and heat station if u can list in sometime woul be great. Brilliant video there vince loved it. Also waiting for another car vid

nice one vince,was the family happy is it running ok since.

He has done it again folks, our superhero has saved another machine

Funny story about things out of windows, my old mum so fed up with my brother just watching Star Trek and not doing his uni work well her and he ended up having this massive barney and my old mum had an Irish temper so she lost it picking up his very expensive Franklin Mint Starship Enterprise and flung it out of the upstairs window where it narrowly missed hitting an old bill car, it was so funny my brothers pride and joy flew like a brick and landed like one and me mum was whizzing his Star Trek DVD's out the broken window like frisbees by this point. Strangely enough my brother did toe the line after that and I managed to unbend the Starship Enterprise enough to look fairly OK although it was missing its gold deflector as someone had that away as it was real gold too hehe

Great job Vince =D

Forgott to say love your channel :)

My god that’s brutal. I wouldn’t even consider repairing that myself, it’s off to the repair shop if it were me.

Nice one mr Vince

great job vince

Great fix vince

low melt solder works nicely... with flux ;-) Nice video Vince!

What a top bloke, you can fix anything

Hey im gonna do a reaction to that song you played, and mention your channel. I've never heard of that group before, very beautiful song.

Wow! I was sure that thing was never going to work again! Very impressive!

Love your content

Yesss been waiting for another modern console for a while

Violins and symphonies.....oh you said sympathy...for what?! 😉 Just joking! I hope you recover soon, Vince. You live n learn, still you got more courage than me, skateboarding looks scary. Nice method of switching over the HDMI ports, clean swap. Glad to see the console working again.

Thank god for you Vince at least you care about consoles good on ya man

I use an Data Vac as well I just use the normal size nozzle works great,the weird straw actually nerfs the the power quite a lot.

Nice save Vince.

Good fix. With the new hot air gun you should burn boards less, as the components come off quicker. You probably could have taken the hdmi connector off without damaging it by heating the board from below with the new air gun.

These are trying to fix videos, I don't care what tools you use. I'm a common man and I don't know how to solder. Good job as always.

Great job!

This reminds me of the ps2 i fixed that had gotten the same treatment..... The dvd that was in it was in 5 large pieces and the case was also bevond repair. Though interestingly enough it still worked after cleaning it out and re assembling it with a new case. I actually still have it after all these years for having it as a spare console.

I love all this close up soldering.

That low melt solder really is magic!

Fell? Nah that's absolute Rage damage. Seen it before. Spoilt kid loses it after losing Fortnite, stamps on console. That explains the extreme bowing, crack position, removed bottom cover and distorted metal base. No way is that fall damage. If I had a kid who raged on an expensive system, no way on earth I'd buy them another.

Ooh, awesome to see you skating with your friends! I hope your hand get fully heald! My favourite cleaning tool is IPA (ofcous) but after that the stream machine with the brush. Nice that you treated yourself with a some real equipment. I think you proved that you can do stuf like this with entery lvl tools 😉 And now you can tell peapel your not a real mechanic some things i do maby wrong or dangerous and take this just for entertainment 🙄 😉 Thank you for your video, looking forward to see you get back on that rolsroys :)

Hopefully you will feel better soon it’s never joking if you fell down on your wrist hopefully you will getting better soon I feel for you Best regards your subscriber car_thief

Guess another thing is coming to be fixed judging by the ebay chime from your phone during the video ;). Well done - I'm sure half the storage won't bother the owners as it came to you dead and returned to them working.

hey bud you could ask Cod3r he might have a spare case or parts to make a bad case look good great vid

From my experiences with the electric "canned air" the nozzle you used was way too small which keeps the blower basically being held back from max velocity by back pressure. If 6ou would switch to a nozzle at least double the diameter as what you used, and that has a tapered flat tip to allow more overall flow that get concentrated at 5he outlet increasing tip velocity which in turn makes it work better for dusting pcs

The xbox one x and one s can take quite a bit of damage and keep going, in Microsofts defence, apart from the odd faulty hdmi part and mashed hard drive, everything else is pretty robust (until someone introduces liquid through the top.)

Can you do a list or video of the flux,solder braid etc what brand you use and where you buy it from?

I'm not one to speculate, but I think this was a ruse to get his parents to buy him the new Series S or X. Aleaset you got it working, and good job on the video looking forward to part 4 on the car.

You have a pretty good taste in music. Could you perhaps share your favorite artists?

Nice equipment Vince. You're right. It was about time to buy good equipment.

50 min video!!! Thank you

I would have tried using hot air from the bottom of the board to do the button swap, it’s a good trick to do surface mount items which you don’t want to melt

Was an interesting watch and generous repair. 1 Good karma added to your spiritual account 😁

I use an air compressor with a small tip air gun attachment. It blows the competition away.... literally.

Well done.

You know there are more videos coming when you here the ebay app in the background 😊

Nice job, what microscope are you using ?

Vince, what Microscope did you get? I am looking for a Microscope and plan to do repair videos also.

Really nice fix. Would you be interested in a non-working Flir One Pro USB-C? It's probably not interesting for a video, as I suspect corrupted firmware, but I could be wrong. I thought I'd just mail it to you, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that you didn't want international shipments.

I want to get one of those datavacs. I've probably spent more than that on canned air already, it's a bit expensive here. And a can really doesn't go very far, a couple good dustings and the pressure is mostly gone and it doesn't blow effectively anymore.

I like videos like this the most

I remember your pull string toy video and would love to see you repair a talking pull string 60s Barbie. If you do commissions, I'd love mine repaired.

i chuckled watching you drag that solder bridge back and forth i could almost hear you swearing behind the music

Soldering tweezers works great for bind buttons and similar switches. 😀
