Glad it worked out for you and good additional tips!

See previous response!

If the inner terminals of the cover are badly corroded where they fall apart, I would suggest getting a replacement at that point. This video will really only help with ones that are still intact but need cleaning/ corrosion removed. If the corrosion has damaged the controller end springs then that's also a difficult thing to patch. You can most likely find replacements for those as well but it may be easier to get another used controller or buy a play and charge kit. The cable attaches to the top of the controller rather than the back and you don't even need to have a battery pack in place for it to work either. The downside is you now have a "wired" controller instead of the wireless version but it is cheaper than getting a new controller if it is still working well. Hope you can get it working!

Yeah I’ve done so many of these I’ve become pretty comfortable working with them, glad you found it helpful though! Also some of them you just can’t get at from the front too so it requires opening the console up.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I really appreciate it, I'm glad it was helpful!

I haven't heard of any issues with them, even with smaller sellers that I've talked with too. They accepted me right away but I also sell a lot of stuff too. I'm not sure what their threshold is for selling though. I know it's a pretty common thing in the wholesale arena but I can understand the frustration with it for sure.

I appreciate it!

Could be, mods are a big deal but you need working units for a lot of the stuff so it adds more cost in the long run too. But worth it if they can sell for more too.

@@gamejaeger ya i like the videos only thing i dont like is the music looping hours at a time when binge watching fine for once a moth. you have a good setup documentation is good. i think if you do a season 2 just more documentation of problems with other things would be good. also like there a more in depth video of the fix. im guessing video editing took more then an hour a day? w/e the case i like the content keep it up. switch/lite shell swap is a pita and requires heating the screen to swap i would pay to have it done but also you might not like working on small handhelds? shells are fairly cheap to buy thow. just ideas. also thow dreaded drifting joycons and switch lite...adding things like argb/rgb can also boost cost and might not be too much work. i remember back in the day of the nes led logo mod and now we got argb kits things have changed.

Thanks, yeah editing takes a lot of time. Never really measured it but it’s hours and hours per video for sure. And I’ve never worked on switch stuff before. Never really wanted to honestly. I like the older stuff and want to try to get more of that back into circulation and working again. The new stuff would probably be more money in some ways but I’m not sure I’d enjoy it as much.

Glad you liked it and welcome! That’s not a bad idea about the video though, a few others have asked about similar stuff and I think it would be easier to address in a larger format. Thanks for the idea!

That’s ok, practice makes perfect!

Honestly haven’t tried it yet so you probably didn’t miss anything. I ordered the kits late so they didn’t arrive until about a week ago. I’d still like to try it though, maybe a future video? Unfortunately I don’t have much info on Xbox 360 though. I have limited knowledge about that system so it might have the same issues as the original Xbox but I’m not 100% about it unfortunately.

I’ve seen those, I think it’s called chipquik if I remember correctly?

@@gamejaeger right, it works pretty good at removing chips without needing to heat the whole board.

Good to know!

Thank you! I know nothing about ps3 units so it was kind of an exploration of how it’s all put together as well as testing. But as far as the most profitable items… it really depends on how much you’re picking the items up for. I would say fixing games is probably the lowest tier profitably and the highest is consoles for sure as a general category separation. But rather than looking at it from a strictly best item to do for highest revenue, I would suggest buying and fixing the items that bring you the greatest enjoyment to fix. Because if you run into problems with an item you like to fix then, talking from personal experience, you’re more apt to look for solutions rather than move on to the next one. Which also equals more money in the long run since you can probably fix more of the ones you like to do then ones you’re just not as interested in.

Awesome, glad I could help! There will be more to come for sure!

More to come thanks!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Lol thank you

Thanks, I know I really need one. I was looking into it but I haven’t pulled the trigger on buying one yet.

Thanks! Having the videos coming out each month gave me a lot of motivation to continue the work and there were sometimes I just really didn’t want to lol. I would say the shooting of the videos did cause the repair times to become slightly longer than if I would have just fixed an item right away too. So that can probably be factored into the totals a bit. But UA-cam has been great! About 50 new subs per video so it’s a nice boost each month! And the repair suggestions have been great too, lots of good help here!

...we will see. I need a bit of a break for the time being lol.

Very well done though for sure

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you! Glad to have the support!

No, thank you for watching and commenting! It means a lot to have random people being inspired by something I posted. Thanks for coming along in the journey!

LOL! I hope you enjoy!

Thank you, Merry Christmas to you as well! And thanks for coming along on the journey, I couldn't have done it without all of the support!

Glad I could help!

Was it drifting to the right before doing the fix? If so, I would check the traces going to the POT that moves right and left just to make sure there is nothing there that was damaged first. Small cracks can be hard to see sometimes. If it wasn't drifting to the right before, then it could be a defective new part or it could have some debris on the inside of the POT that is causing it to not center properly. I'd also check the inside of the POT for any defects or debris too and clean and retest again, otherwise you could always put on your old sticks POT and see if that helps too. Hopefully you can get it working again though!

Sorry, but no. I'm flattered people like it that much but it wouldn't survive shipping unfortunately.

lol for sure, I had done that in one of my other repair challenge videos. But funny enough the cleanliness level of the inner parts doesn't seem to effect the lid parts too much.

You can clean it? But removing items will be difficult without a soldering iron unfortunately.

@ my battery bracket is a little oxidized thats all

You can clean it in place, it may just take a little while longer to do that. But if you're using something that doesn't damage the circuit board like high percentage IPA, then you should be good.

@ sounds good thanks

No problem, hopefully it works for you!

Thanks, every little bit helps! I was hoping that would be the case too...

You kind of wiggle it out and it pops loose pretty easy that way.

Glad it helped!

I'm dying over this lol.

I see that. lol

Thank you, hopefully they help people to preserve their screens for a while longer.

They are not meant to, that's why its a slow process. But makes it way easier to clean properly when its apart.

Same, it's one of my favorites too. It's in my top 10.

It works, you just need to be very careful.

Could be the power supply, if you have a second power supply I’d try that first. Also check to make sure the fuse didn’t blow again after install. If it did then there has to be another issue with how the power is being fed into the system.

Lol.

Thanks for the help! I hope you enjoy!

@gamejaeger gotta help other youtubers for sure.

Lol, Thanks I appreciate it!

No they aren’t. That brings up another question but I’m pretty sure you can’t use Hall effect sticks in original Xbox controllers without some additional modifications though. Don’t quote me but I didn’t think they were compatible with the older controllers.

@gamejaeger the hall effect units would in fact require additional logic to process, but that could be small enough to be inserted with on board ASIC piggybacking in the unit, I assume. It's a lot to hope for, maybe too much.

Yeah it would require some doing I’m sure. Maybe a daughter board to hold the extras?

Lol. I haven’t seen many really bad carts similar to this one, so it’s a pretty true statement so far. Mostly I just see dirty pins and trace or battery repairs. But I’m not sure where people find the utterly destroyed carts I’ve seen in a few other videos. I’d love to find out though, so if you have any leads let me know! Lol

@@gamejaeger I thought I had replied. Maybe I'm getting tired. I've been finding them on e-bay included with a bunch of other things. Ironically the hardest repairs were the ones that actually had the best appearances.

I can imagine, you never know what’s inside of those things sometimes lol.

Maybe? You’ll probably still have to take them out of the main base and lay them flat then inject in some green resin. I could see that working though, good idea!

Maybe bend one of the battery terminals so it can contact better? Or find some replacements online?

You might be able to if you can get down to the contacts with something long enough and strong enough to scrub them clean. Maybe make a tool with an ice pick or a chopstick? Not sure what would work honestly but you could if the corrosion isn’t that bad.
