I'm an eBay seller myself and on most broken items I make no effort to find out what's wrong, not worth the time, if it doesn't work it's listed for parts. I would assume that the seller just plugged it in, concluded it didn't work, and thus listed it for parts, nothing wrong with that

Hi there Joey, I wanted to mention that in a Video Card Repair channel called NorthWestRepair. He demonstrated using a clear UV mask which cures really fast and hard and also has the added benefit of seeing how it has been repaired and how. The UV light can get under a connector (or whatever) and cure it completely. It doesn't look as pretty as the Mechanic Green, Red, Black and Blue. But the clear UV Mask works so much better. It may be worth looking into. You could always put a thin coat of green on top of the clear after to make it look better, but that is entirely up to you. Cheers!

I accidentally pulled a 5 pin ribbon cable and connector off the board when I was disassembling a washing machine. I thought, no problem I’ll take it to a local tech shop that deals with board repairs and they’ll have me sorted. I tried two places, said it wasn’t possible. I paid $300 (nearly the cost of the washer lightly used) to have the board (including entire assembly) replaced. After watching you work and I know now it could have been fixed. I might even have a go at it myself after some more research. If I get it that replacement part is going back to the manufacturer. Side note they make you take apart the entire front end of the washer to get at the drain filter, no drawer or access panel. Anyways, very cool video, I’ve never seen someone actively repair a board like this. I’m only 13mins in but I hope you make good on this purchase

My word Joey, that was an absolute beauty of a repair, from something that seemed an utter lost cause from the get go, to an item that has escaped being sent to landfill, all through your knowledge and sheer determination (and the guys in the Discord of course). Watching you do these repairs really makes me wish I could do the same, maybe in the future I will have the time to sit and tinker with things and acquire the relevant knowledge, so I too can help keep tech from landfill, until then I shall simply watch in awe as you do what you do best

@ashleybignell2366 Ай бұрын

Difficult one but advertising spares or repairs would suggest it's likely a doner console but maybe repairable. If it was just labelled as faulty with 'does not turn on or no image' that would suggest it's repairable. But i'm in no doubt the seller knew what he was selling & listed as such to cover his backside.

Wow I learn a lot from your video. I do smd soldering occasionally too, but this is beyond my level. I can tell most newbie will fail for the first time when they do this. It's not easy and definitely need proper technique ie what solder tips to use, temperature of hot air, the importance of flux, where and when to point at the things you trying to solder because these board were design to take a lot of heat. Plus of course you need to have a strong basic knowledge in electronics. Very unique especially the way when you solder the hdmi port👍

Great job, Joey! Also, you've shown the best possible way of tackling such a huge job: going at it one step at a time (repairing the fan connector, replace the southbridge, etc.). You didn't get discouraged at all even though this may have looked like a deal breaker to start with. Could it be useful data to check for a faulty/blown southbridge by measuring the test pad? I can imagine it will not always show the same results but it just might help track down issues with the southbridge a little sooner. Other than that it is so nice to see how far you have come on this journey, something you can be really proud of.

I've cooked some ICs (usually a PCH) with temperatures that high when reflowing after reball. Recommend heating from the bottom until the board reaches 150C then come from the top with temperatures until the IC reflows keeping the top air under 260C (leaded balls melt and flow around 190-200c). maximizes succcess by minimize possible damage due to heat. a good cheap preheater helps with this job. ( I use the T8280, can be somewhat slow, but solid, the new quick 861 pro has awesome/accurate temperature control now too)

As an Ebay business seller myself selling consoles I don't open them up and diagnose issues. I sell as is with basic tests. I buy 30+ Consoles a week amongst 200 other items and don't have the time to test faulty stuff so sell as is. Alot of time ebay business sellers get absolutely destroyed from returns as we get so many returns based on selling items Spares or Repairs when a buyer assumes we've tested or know issues with our broken stuff we sell. Love the channel but like u said the business seller has 2k+ reviews. They probably in same boat as me. Buying joblots at auction cheap and sell on with basic testing

When I was younger I tried to buy used parts from ebay saying that they're "working" to upgrade my computer. I still remember from all the parts I bought only the cpu cooler worked, from that point on I never even looked at ebay again. Because even if you were a person who knew how to repair tech the CPU was missing pins, the GPU was missing caps and memory, hard drive was dead, and the PSU almost caused a fire good thing I was doing it in front of my house and not inside. Good sellers from ebay are like unicorns, because even people with good reviews start to just lie and hope the buyer doesn't contact them again.
