(actually much of the time I used a 50x bino microscope) with a 0.5mm soldering tip for 'custom wiring' like that- not fun...

Don't worry about the haters - if you produce content it goes with the job! Cheers!
dam you are an longtime viewer !! thank-you! I will find reasons to do more battery builds but they need a reason, don't like the wasteful video for videos sake approach.
not needed, they are SOOO small & have no weight to them so they won't move around. Here is hoping I can find a good supplier for them and just change it back out to standard.
Should check the voltage to the HDMI chip, because if it's missing it must be the boast converter IC, ie, saves time not doing the HDMI IC. TheCod3r sells console chips.

@@HBPowerwall Maybe an overhead camera like Louis Rossmann. I'd love to see more repair videos. I try to watch Dave's (EEVBLOG) repair videos to try and relearn what I've forgotten since college
BINGE watched Louis back in the day, now he just complains too much. NorthRidgeFix is great but again bitches about his clients, but he is busy so guess there is something to it.. I'll invest in a better camera but my eyes do enjoy the eye pieces better for now..
Hello, i see your video and i think try your method. Do you ever see this xbox series x, we have an electrical shut down and when power back at home this xbox just never put display on tv. Console power up and 30 or 40 sec after she's power off. Not possible to hard reset too. I try her many tv and nothing to do.
Have you ever had Xbox series x display be blurry and low res and things flickers when when scrolling through menu? It’s like really pixelated?… sorry if don’t understand what I mean
i've not watched the video so sory if i'm repeating something but be cautios when ordering Encoder chips on Aliexpress, i've heard theirs a fair bit of fakes out their that won't work for one reason or another(one reason passably being rebranding a completely different chip but that's just a guess). Also another thing worth noteing is that the Encoders on Series S and Xs seem to be a common failure point so if you want to ensure the console doesn't fail shortly after replacing the Encoder i'd look for some Brand New Encoders but again watch out for fakes, unfortunatly IDK how to identify fakes yet before trying them.
maybe shorten up to "HBPower" . kinda covers the gamut (in its non specificity) , whilst still maintaining recognition. bit of a branding branding exercise after all. can still change it again down the road. ..
Yeh seen some crash n burn with a name change and others just take off to next level. I just want to enjoy it and not worry about loosing work because I was editing, chatting or filming like back in the day .
What a shit show doin them jumpers..... anyway u had success.... lucky u..... i wish i had more success at doin component repairs...bit hard when ur slowly goin blind too.
ooh I've had dozens of ps5's that someone has adamantly been a little heavy handed with - SHOVING the HDMI cable in like a teen boy... Just pushes the pins off the board, and stops working.. easy repair but can't 'fix' it..
Good to see videos like this again .. With the jumper Wires only going to get 1080P ... Can't boost the signal 4K
*thinks - My own console has this repair, have I actually ever tested 4k ... also need a 4k tv in the workshop, no one can argue that logic... hehe
@HBPowerwall Yeah I would test it mate ... It is a nice mod 👌 though
For the result its a winner short term..

@@HBPowerwall thanks!!
Nice one :-)
You stick a bit of kapton tape across the jumper wires?
not needed, they are SOOO small & have no weight to them so they won't move around. Here is hoping I can find a good supplier for them and just change it back out to standard.
"Please don't hate me for changing it up a bit from time to time." I've never been madder about anything 😄!
lolz
LOVE IT! 🙂 🔥

Yeh, kinda considered those and many more like it.. I hope I get some entertaining suggestions!
Well done that’s not an easy job to do. ❤
Hardest part was filming it lol

Both 'going' Green one leaks a wee bit of oil... building a new motor for it atm

Sounds like power supply, but could be anything really.
Hey wow I’m having a very similar probably do you think you could help me with mine?
yep, but twenty bucks says your not close to me lol
Have you ever had Xbox series x display be blurry and low res and things flickers when when scrolling through menu? It’s like really pixelated?… sorry if don’t understand what I mean
Sounds like HDMI encoder or i think Xbox call it a 'Retimer IC'
Will the booster absence not pose any issues? Can you just run the xbox like that long term?
My kids have run ours for about 12 months so far Kinda daily useage.. But it's going to fail.. I took out the booster and put it in a clients..
i've not watched the video so sory if i'm repeating something but be cautios when ordering Encoder chips on Aliexpress, i've heard theirs a fair bit of fakes out their that won't work for one reason or another(one reason passably being rebranding a completely different chip but that's just a guess).

i've changed only 2 encoders out of many hundreds of jobs, both from ali and worked fine (so far)
maybe shorten up to "HBPower" . kinda covers the gamut (in its non specificity) , whilst still maintaining recognition.
bit of a branding branding exercise after all. can still change it again down the road. ..
I really like the idea of super general, that way if I ever get into taking photos of my food I can post it here ... :P

Pete’s (Work) Shed. To a canadian the way you say “Shed” is noticeably different
is it a bad word?
Nope, just a different inflection on the “E”. I like the new direction of the channel. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the time & comment :)
