You're better than famous, mate. You are an educator and encourage others get out there and learn to do stuff themselves. That is value to society and shouldn't be dismissed lightly. Kind regards from Australia :)
This console is around the £600 mark' now you know the price of componants on a industry buying scale , i thnk the RRP is scandlous , reliability of consoles now is not good but it does keep the work coming in ......
Phil I know you love a challenge and this board kinda says that too! May Armstrong is currently rebuilding a Lamborghini murcielago and the speedo dials has blown when he got the car due to reverse polarity! I think for you and him this would be a mega collab! And for the viewers :)
if your using an hdmi splitter, those usual cause flickering as well. try swapping the hdmi from the splitter to the tv, not just the hdmi from console to splitter.
Yeah I think it could be because my HDMI cable is on a female to female connector to be honest. It doesn't support 4k properly so that's likely the cause
Great Content Mate been watching for quite some time. ive always wondered What type of C Mount Lens and Adapters are you using with Your Microscope, i have the exact same microscope but with the standard c mount manual focus lens i need to get the adjustable swing arm but what im most interested in is knowing your C Mount setup to include the variable zoom while maintaining the manual focus. thanks in advance mate.
Coder i been considering buying a defective series x at 200 bucks and the part to fix being readily available and cheap i want to give it a shot worst to worst i hVe 1 to start the parts bin i really want to get into repair work
The HDMI tester you can buy from me directly mate: www.consolefix.shop/collections/tools-and-accessories/products/consolefix-x-cmizapper-portable-hdmi-tester The USB tester is available at CMIZapper's website at www.cmizapper.com/products/usb-tester.html I may try and work out a deal with him for the USB tester too. CMIZapper makes the HDMI testers and brands them for me but I'm able to sell those cheaper because I buy them in bulk from him
Quick question? Why do you not re-use the traces that were left on the board like in this instance? The lines and the pad were still there, and connected. Would it not have been just as good to re-align them, conformal coat them down all the way back to the pad, then re-solder to that? The repair was excellent, just seemed more time consuming. Maybe my view was not as good as yours, hence the question.
You can but personally I don't like to in case the trace has a break in it. Even if it's just a very small break it could potentially cause data corruption so I don't like to reuse them
Can you repair my Elvis head , his head still moves slightly but he no longer functions like he did .. he no longer talks , or has eye movements and full head movements
There are at least three other ground connections still present, so it should be OK, no? They all connect to the same ground layer less than 1mm away. My thoughts anyways
Done the same thing on a series s I picked up for £40, ended up tacking on to the hdmi filters like you did, trying to scrape back the trace and tack on to it was near impossible even with the finest soldering tip and tweezers and a microscope. Nice job!
Hello how is everyone today hoop fest weekend the biggest 3 on 3 in the world my team lost this morning but at less my team made it to day 2 there’s some really really good players this year
Lol this was a live stream 2 nights ago. My back is getting better now but I had to stream because I have jobs backing up and I would lose my partner status on twitch if I don't stream regularly

PS: I definitely need a scope for this stuff.
Thanks bud. I appreciate that! Yeah this sort of job can't be done without a scope for sure
Phil, you're not just Famous, you're Infamous! Great fix! Thank You. 😀

"quite a few damaged traces" is a bit of an understatement bud, this is an apocalyptic mess lol
Great repair as always ( :
Great repair mate 👍

I mean Mat Armstrong
Do you know what video that's in bud? I just dropped him an email so we'll see 😀
This collaboration would be amazing
mate, what is the name or model of that HDMI tester, great work by the way awesome as always, greetings from Costa Rica, Pura Vida
Love your videos. You have shown me some very useful techniques. Could you tell me where I could get your HDMI and USB port testers?
Your content is great mate
Thanks bud

Shaking the cable along with sound effects 😂😂
Where can we grab the checklists? I would like all of them 😅
Hi Phil, what temperature do you run your iron at? Follow up Q, do you have different temperature for wicking vs soldering?
To the person that wanted you to sign it he didn't mean your name he wanted you to sign it Anna Kournikova 😂
😂😂

@@TheCod3r Understood! Thanks for the reply.
What was the outcome on your 4KTV
Can you repair my Elvis head , his head still moves slightly but he no longer functions like he did .. he no longer talks , or has eye movements and full head movements
It’s a wow wee head as seen on u tube
Great repair. And love that music 🎶
Thanks bud. I just joined Epidemic Sound so I can get better music now 😌
Dear TheCod3r,
Why you don't use anti-glare light, becuase of using the flux the video isn't clear
I thought you were known in the movie industry Phil 🤫
Haha yep I'm more famous than Dom 😂
Had exactly the same issue with the front usb and pairing button. Someone had disconnected at the other end and I didn't check....
Haha easy done mate. I've done that two or three times now 😂
skipping that ground on hdmi doesn't allow for the high bandwidth needed for 4k... need the ground !
There are at least three other ground connections still present, so it should be OK, no? They all connect to the same ground layer less than 1mm away. My thoughts anyways
I've never had that issue before mate. There are 5 grounds on the port and only pin 17 is really needed
Done the same thing on a series s I picked up for £40, ended up tacking on to the hdmi filters like you did, trying to scrape back the trace and tack on to it was near impossible even with the finest soldering tip and tweezers and a microscope. Nice job!
Do your sell the the systems
Was it Fonefunshop that sent it in?
No I think they just provided the port that the customer purchased
hey i have this problem on my computer its say out of range can u help me, im on windows 11
Tip to keep that TV remote clean: Put it in a transparent zip-lock bag. 🙂
Not a bad shout bud, it's full of flux off my hands and stuff lol
@@TheCod3r Yeah, it's in a bit of a rough environment.
I'm certain you can. "There isn't even a C*nt?" Funny I can hear one talking ;)
Haha you know it 😜
Hello how is everyone today hoop fest weekend the biggest 3 on 3 in the world my team lost this morning but at less my team made it to day 2 there’s some really really good players this year
Bro u need a anti glare light
00:08 You were right first time mate!🤣 You didn't even have the cun__number! Freudian Slip old boy
Haha 😄
@@TheCod3r Glad you had a chuckle! Your Track Repair skills are second to none btw!
I Must have me one of those USB MicroMcscopes😎
Hi Philip
Hi bud, I just saw your comment on the second channel. I haven't forgotten, I promise. I still don't have any working boards to sell :(
@@TheCod3r have you got disc version to swop
@tariqmahmood7026 not at the moment mate. I'm working through these boards I have here though
💯👍👍👍👍
Youre so famous now you might get asked to go on strickly :).
Haha I'd show them all up with my mirror dancing 😂
🎉
And this was when? …mum mode?
