Ive bought lots of 2nd hand faulty equipment that had exactly the the same issue, usb cord snapped off.
Is it available?
I was able to fix mine with hot glue. Thanks for the video!
That screw under the sticker always gets me. Thx for the video.😊
Now he wants me to pay💀
You don't have to buy one from me, I have made the board design publicly available for free
Have the same problem. Now I know how to fix it. Its possible 😊 Thanks
Thanks for watching, hope your repair is successful :)
Bro, how do we know if the PS4 controller is out of battery?
If the battery is dead, the controller wont turn on
4:04 whats the converter is called? Please tell, as i am also looking for it.....Thanks in advance...
Sorry for the delay getting back to you, if you're still looking try searching 'USB C PD to DC Power Connector' or something similar, just make sure to select the correct size and voltage. I agree they can be a pain to find.
No thankd
Your choice :)
That was a great success, considering the bad rep most of these mini computers have 👍🏻
Yeah, I was expecting a bigger problem. You can tell it's cheaply made though, not surprised they tend not to last.
Where can I buy it
Salve ho un SSD con installato windows 10 che uso come unità esterna che mi porto dietro e all'occorrenza posso avere il mio sistema operativo portatile. volevo sapere se è possibile connetterlo ad un wyse 3040 thin client con ThinOS 9.5.1079 bios 1.2.5 in modo da poter visualizzare windos. Grazie Hi I have an SSD with windows 10 installed that I use as an external drive that I carry around and when needed I can have my portable operating system. I wanted to know if it is possible to connect it to a wyse 3040 thin client with ThinOS 9.5.1079 bios 1.2.5 so that I can view windows. Thanks
Hi, sorry for the delay getting back to you. I think that should be possible, with the drive plugged in you should be able to choose it as the boot drive when powering on the 3040. You have to press a button to bring up the boot selector on the Dell splash screen, I think it's F12, and it should show up as an option.
he is the one who made it 😢😢
Very good video, thanks.
Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the video. Any idea how this port could have been damaged like this?
Thanks for watching, I'd guess someone has been far too forceful inserting the cable, can't really think of any other explanation. There are marks on the shell around the port, so whoever used to own it clearly wasn't too careful how they plugged it in.
@@qubitstech Thanks. It's still very surprising :)
i have te same controller it doesn't turn on or register no light come on any idea?
I'd guess it could be a faulty USB connector, I'd start by trying another cable. Also, check if there is continuity between the pins on the USB port and the other end of the USB cable.
@qubitstech thanks for the advice i email them and the replied saying it needs to be a high speed cable or something so ill let you know how its goes when i get one
@qubitstech so i finally got round to buying a usb and it worked fine. did not know their were such things as high speed micro USB cables🤦♂🤦♂
Nice job mate
Thanks :)
Btw you can also resolder the emmc bga 153 chip on the board..... please please dont use an micro sd adapter
Yeah, I've seen that mod, but not everyone has the skills or tools to do it. This was an interesting test, but as I said in the video, a USB drive is probably the better option unless you're desperate to have the storage inside the housing.
I hope some one just make an ready-use adapter and sell it on ebay or aliexpress.
They used to be available on aliexpress, but they stopped selling them a long time ago. I'm working on something a bit more complete, only issue is trying to get the male connectors.
Wish I'd stayed ignorant! Light trigger drift turned out to be a shattered trigger bracket which was being held together by pressure. I choose not to blame myself, it was the misbegotten warrior and crucible knight's fault (+ some light rage on my end)
I even like it better than the Nexus 7 2013. Better build quality and just as good a screen. I do like the screen separator. Whatever you use to separate the screen, you have to be careful NOT to get it between the screen and digitizer. You got lucky that the ZIF connector still works after yanking out the cable. Mine works much better with a new battery.
Yeah the screen is still amazing even today. I was worried about damaging the screen/digitizer, really just have to make sure not to go too far. The separators are amazing, they're flexible but deceptively sharp (as my fingers quickly discovered), wish I'd found them sooner. I'm probably a bit rough these days with connectors, but in my experience they hold up well. If need be, I could always replace it. I'd be interested to hear where you got your battery, I'm always weary of aftermarket replacements.
I love your videos ❤❤❤😊
Thanks :)
Wanted to check out some nostalgic memories via saved data on an old memory card my dad gave me. Memory card wouldn’t read *at all* initially but after following these steps and a little cleaning, the system read it! Unfortunately, it looks like the memory card is corrupted but thank you for this video because if the memory card wasn’t corrupted, your tips would’ve helped me access all of the old saved data. Thank you for your video and I’m happy for all of the people that your video helped :)
Thanks for your comment, sorry your data turned out to be corrupted but at least you gave it a chance :)
Are you able to replace the entire leather band of the headset?
I believe so, the cups can be unscrewed and wires desoldered. I've seen them for sale on Aliexpress, just make sure you get the right replacement for your model of headset.
are you still selling this mod, i want to buy it
Check out the Ko-Fi link in the description, I have more boards on the way :)
I've had an old broken memory card forever, decided today to take a look at repairing it. Turns out it was this exact issue. I used a bit of putty to fill the gap. It still didn't work, but after cleaning the contacts with some alcohol, bingo. The last save file is timestamped August 2004, so I'm very grateful I decided to hold onto it for 20 years.
Glad to hear it helped you, still confused how this even happens in the first place!
Charging in two doors?!
Where can I get this c one for my ps4 controller won't stay
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 共鸣我的手指出
or you could buy the ps4 usb c board and have a real usb c port on your ps4 controller There only like 10 bucks
True, but they require opening the controller, and cutting the shell. Not everyone is comfortable doing that, and the ribbon cables are pretty easy to damage. This is also useful for diagnosing charging port faults without opening the controller, which is what I mainly use it for.
@@qubitstechCan you send me one for free please I am your biggest fan I watch all your videos
seeing your store is out of stock, Is it fine if I bulk order a couple and sell them on ebay basically at cost?
Yeah, no problem, I appreciate you asking first :) I do have some more PCBs on the way, but it will probably be another month before they're here.
Hello, I want to buy from Turkey. Can you give me an address where I can contact you? The product is out of stock.
Hi, I have some more PCBs on the way but they will take a few weeks to get here. Keep an eye on the store for when they are available.
Just installed mine, and it works amazingly! Thanks for sharing :)
That's great, enjoy :)
Liked your style & approach here🙏🏻 Look forward to seeing the battery replacement video. Wish i had knowhow to update to Android 11!
Thanks, appreciate the comment. Check out the XDA forums, I used the upgrade guide over there.
thank you so much!
The tab looks sleek and lightweight. I used only one Sony phone and it was amazing to back in 2013. Always wanted to buy another but the company left the market from my region.
It really is, wish they still made tablets like this.
Honestly just commenting because I love the old Sony Z tablet. I wish they still produced this size of tablet. :(
Yeah same, I looked into replacing it and nothing this size compares, especially the display quality.
@qubitstech I'm picking up a used Lenovo Y700 2023. I recently discovered these are probably the best small android tablet one can buy in the current year. The other tablet I was considering was the Samsung Active Tab5 - which has a 120hz display, swappable battery, headphone jack and even takes regular phone calls....but it's looks and specs are rather outdated. I hold out hope for more options coming out over the next few years....
Nice video. Is good to see more videos about repair. Hoping to see the batery replace
Thanks, will definitely look into it at some point if I can find a decent battery supplier.
Nice video, is this still running an outdated version of Klipper?
Thanks, I assume so as the last update was in January. When I have time, I plan to try and get a newer version of Klipper running on it, as the board itself seems pretty generic.
@@qubitstech Hmm I'm afraid it's older than that, like 2 years old!
It still doesnt
For me, the rubber underneath the 🅰️ button was torn, causing the button to become rather wobbly, & eventually it couldn’t be pressed anymore. I readjusted the broken part, but that was only a temporary fix. Any ideas on how to fix it properly?
Hi, I think really the only way to fix it properly is to replace the membrane, though getting a replacement will be tricky. You'd need to find another controller, as they are not available to buy separately. As a last resort, you could try fixing the tear with some silicone glue, though you'd have to get it to sit correctly to have any hope of it working properly again. Sorry I don't have a better suggestion for you.
Thank u you so muck my freind
Thank you
Where to buy
Maybe you can help. My original ps2 memory card stopped working. I’ve already cleaned it and yes, it makes contact with the ps2 slots. However it doesn’t read at all. My brand new ps2 memory card and my old ps1 card read just fine in either slot.
Hi, if possible I would suggest testing it in another console. Otherwise, flash memory has a limited lifespan, and I would guess the card is probably dead. There's not much else on the PCB to diagnose. These cards are probably around 2 decades old, so wouldn't be a surprise for some to have died by now.
@@qubitstech I can take it to a local game store and try, but if there’s any other way, I just need it to work for as long as I need to transfer EVERYTHING from the old one to new one..
aphid larva, aka micro cockroaches TLDR @ below lol they have a lot of lifecycle types and a lot of varierties, check out uow writeup, i have a special aloe that has been attacked for over a year now, it's in a 1L mason jar, about +95% sealed and hoards of them just keep hatching and attackin the plant then dying inside my little biome of death lol, the Aloe has regrown itself over 9 times now in this capsule lol to me all this shitflies are as bad as a swarm of locusts, they killed 3-4 dozen plant species i had growing indoors. seems they can't compete outside... with only 1! 4-5yr old mother spider plant and the incapsulated "phoenix" aloe survived after 14mths or so of initial infestation... but the birds and 50 other critters reglularly attack those growing outside, slugs being the absolute savage worst, (the birds literally uproot almost anything i plant and whatever they don't touch the slugs devour every night! TLDR: micro cockroaches are tough! buy neem oil and/or diatemaceous earth (silicone dioxide), both natural, but everything can be dangerous, common sense required, BUT! skip the nonsense home remedies! you will waste nothing but time and money only to lose your plants in the end!
Thanks for the detailed comment, and sorry for the delay getting back to you, I'll take a look at your suggestions! So far, I've isolated anything that seems to be infested, and sprayed them with soapy water which seems to have helped, though they seem to really like one particular succulent. I've seen neem oil recommended elsewhere, but wasn't sure what I was dealing with and if it works on them - I'll give it a go now I know what they are.
Anywhere i can buy one of these? I have a wyse 3040 and the internal ssd is shot.
Probably not, though you can order the PCBs and solder the socket on yourself (if you've soldered before, it's pretty easy as the pins are fairly large). I think a USB drive would be a better choice, a low profile USB adds very little to the size of the 3040.
@qubitstech Where can I get the plans to place the order? I can solder easy enough just need to get the parts made.
What is the name for that thing?

I love the Pimoroni boards...but the cable being routed over the board and not through the board is an issue. I just bought the Pimoroni dual NVMe hat for the Pi5 and the fit in the case is suck that I had to file away a tiny bit of the hat to keep pressure off of the cable. After close visual inspection I noticed that my hat is just ever so slightly longer than the Pi5, which is actually the reason for the tension on the cable in the case. Very disappointing for such a good board, otherwise. I have another dual hat from another manufacturer and that cable is routed through a slot in the board, better design.
Yeah, I've seen a few other boards (Geekworm have quite a few variants) which look interesting, I like that this one sits under the Pi to keep the top open for cooling, but I'm not a huge fan of the cable design. Being exposed on the edge of the board is definitely a weak point of the design.
Can i use a regular type c cord to charge it?
Yes, any type C cable should work.
