You have no idea how you inspire people to save electronics instead of turning them on e-waste. I'm all the way down here in Brazil and everytime I have the opportunity to at least try to save something, that's my goal. I fix it until it's too broken. I even tried to fix my own ps4, but then I discovered that the hdmi chip has to be replaced and that's out of my league. Keep up inspiring people, man!
I'm not an expert with ps4s but You can probably source yourself a dead or donor ps4 and take the chip from there, or is it like soldered like the nands of macs where you'd need a heat gun instead

18:00 The screen is not done for. Two options there. 1. If the cable is long enough: Cut the corroded part off. Gently scrape the ribbon cable to expose the metal lines. Reconnect. 2. If the cable isn't long enough: Paint the traces with "metal nail polish". Scrape in between the metal lines to remove excess nail polish. Test for shorts. Reconnect. I've tried both with PS controllers and things like that and always worked.
I agree but if I had to guess the subtext here it's more about the time/effort required to do it. Then there's the fact he's giving them away and likely wants a reliable fix.
@@gumbypokey7 True. That would be a free fix, a fix for a friend or oneself. And it takes less than 5 minutes to scrape the plastic layer to reach the lines. I just meant the screen is not done for. In my experience, it's also been a permanent fix for non moving parts like in this case. I'm also sharing a fix for someone with a similar problem trying to fix their own stuff, I hope someone finds it useful :)
I liked that fast forwarded part where all has been put together around the 13:30 mark. It really shows how much work gets into them. And as long as it is in moderation this can be a handy tool for possible future videos.
I've heard that Valve is gonna remove the glue on the battery on the Steam Deck for easily replacement to match the new EU standards about batteries replacement. Hope Nintendo and others will follow (if they have the choice)
Why batteries even glued in the first place.. that's just anti-repairability. Old devices with detachable batteries works fine before. If concerning the batteries will fall off, just put a locking mechanism..
Have to say I also love my ifixit tools, the only issue I have is I wish the bit marking was clearer, sometimes it's a little difficult finding the correct bit looking for the stamped mark in the foam
Tip for deep dicharged Batteries: take a full one of the same type, connect + to +, - to - and let it sit there for a few seconds. Thats usually enough for the charger to kick in. I jumpstart my eneloops all the time this way when they were deep discharged (by flash Light for example). Such a battery usually cant hold the Same amount of Ah afterwards though. Li Ion take it very Personal if they get discharged to 0 V.
That's awesome you fixed two of them! I've got a few things I'd like to fix myself after watching your videos. Gonna have to pick up a soldering station and give it a whirl!
I'm consuming your videos like an addicted. They are so good and helpful. I managed to fix my PS1 because of your video fixing each playstation. Thanks :3
Thank you, I love watching your videos Steve. Keep up the awesome work and keep on bringing dead electronics back to life and keep adding the "Perfect Amount of Thermal Paste"
Excellent job. I've been following your channel for a long time and I know how difficult it is to work with game maintenance without good equipment for it. For the great content you have another subscriber. Greetings from Brazil.
your videos inspired me to try to fix the PCB of my old Dell Ultrasharp monitor. Blown caps is real... Failed miserably with poor soldering job, but worth the effort and lessons learned. Next time will be a success.
14:12 good to see that you also use the natural steam moisture to clean surfaces 😂 I'm so loving this channel!!! Though I cant repair, I almost every day use that technique!!!
A note on the bits for the driver set. The one thing ive been unable to open with the the tri wing bits are wii nunchucks, the screws are recesed too deep for the bits to reach.
So glad you're now sponsored by IfixIt, Steve! I've always enjoyed watching your great content. Keep doing what you do best: applying the perfect... I mean, fixing electronics. But you do apply the perfect amount of thermal paste, too.
I always keep any liquids away from any electronic device, even if it is waterproof. My senses start to tingle if I don't. Especially when someone else puts their drink near my electronic stuff. You'd be surprised how careless people can be, not only with their own stuff but others as well. You can't take care of someone else's stuff if you don't take care of yours in the first place.
You might be able to take a good fully charged battery and jump the power and ground to the dead battery and leave it connected for about 30 secs to a min and it might give the discharged battery enough power to take a charge. I have done this with several drill battery's and a couple car battery's and it has worked great.
Years ago I remember having a phone pre usb connector days that never charged unless the battery had enough charge to power on even if it was for at least like 10 seconds or so, I had another phone that used same battery and could charge the battery with that even tested it by charging for a minute or two to give it enough power to turn on then let it fully charge and it did. Never worked out why unless it was something to do with the circuit.
I wish I had the confidence, skill set and tools to have swapped that power management chip when my son's Lite failed with a similar error code on New Years Eve - cost £70 for a nationwide reseller and repairer (CEx) to fix. However - I did replace the screen myself last year after his sister dropped something on it using the iFixit guide and parts from eBay so that saved some money (and heartbreak).
I got one for 15 usd. The joysticks were all wonky. I finally got a replacement joystick months later and noticed that it was the ribbon cable that was corroded. Cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and it was as good as new. Digitizer is busted but doesn't really matter I suppose. All the screws are missing as well lol. I'm happy with the use I've gotten out of it
not sure if you realised after but you can replace the shell without removing the battery. it can stay adhered to the midframe and you remove it in one piece
At 21:50 you're asusming that this capacitor is there for decoupling, but not all capacitors play this role. In this instance it's a buck converter so it requires an inductor and a capacitor to oscillate (aka LC circuit) so if the capacitor is not there it won't provide any current to the main chip. That could be almost any power rail, core, IOs, memory,... more likely a low-power rail considering the size of the capacitor.
Me who enjoys Steve's content because watching him fix things is relaxing even though I have no knowledge of the craft: Yeah I'm pretty sure that last Switch's USB-C is broken
You need a bench power supply, super useful for fixing to power things directly but very useful to bring dead undervoltage lion batteries back to life. Great video though :)
Hi. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I love your content. I just had a small suggestion if you don’t mind. If you could show the cost of the parts required to fix the items in your videos it would be very helpful. That way we can know what kind of damage our device has, how much it will cost us to repair it and if the repair shop is trying to overcharge us.
I know this video is a year old, but how did you get your hot air station to remove that port so well? I just did this mod and the solder was so stubborn that it wouldnt melt on the anhors. I tried flux, fresh solder, eventually had to use low melting point solder to get it off. What temp do you set your air station at?
I was given an Aldi grinder the 18v batteries were flat to the point the chargers could not see them. I got some wire and did plus to plus and minus to minus on a car battery for a couple of minutes and then the charger could see and charge them. I have done similar with another tool I was given. And guys on the Aldi tool forum confirm it worked for them as well
Any idea how one might approach the purple screen of death on a switch lite? I've got one that's in perfect condition but can't find anything definitive to approach and resolve said issue. Also I'm always so impressed on your hot air gun rework. I can't use a hot air gun for the life of me, because of which I have the approach everything with an iron and low melt. Although I'm pretty certain my station needs calibration for the hot air as it is an off brand set. I'm still learning reworking!
I have a switch lite that had a broken left toggle. I replaced it but the screen stayed black and you can still here the buttons moving. I deassembled and checked connection, then noticed a ribbon cable clamp piece came off. With no luck of getting the clamp back in its proper place, i gave up. I don't know what to do. My 5 year old has used and abused this switch.
Hi Steve, where is a reliable source that you can get replacement shells for nintendo consoles? I'm looking at doing some tinkering but I'm worried about getting scammed when purchasing replacement shells.
Hi I am a big fan of u and really love to see ur vids on all the gaming gadgets repair guide. Also I had my Nintendo Switch Lite LCD screen replaced but seems like now unable to turn on and the screen is brand new which I bought. Not sure what the issue?
Hi so I wave a problem my Nintendo switch lite does not Turn on it just show the backlight working and when I try to turn on does not show image Do you know what it can be?
Does a machine do all these chips and stuff on these game systems boards or does a person do them like you do? Also I have a ps1 console that’s been in my closet since I got it for Christmas whenever they came out. Idk if it works or not but you can have if you want. I don’t have the cords tho.
Have you ever repaired a PS3 fat with the yellow ring of death? There is so much information on this but i was wondering what you have come across the most to give me a idea what's wrong with mine. Thanks for any information.
i always find it hard to use pliers to remove connectors like that. it's hard to get the right amount of pressure. i worry that I will slip off and scrape something off the board. I find it a lot easier to use my nails to lever each side out gradually.
Just wanted to post this and see if anybody has any feedback. My switch lite is the pokemon edition and I hardly used it but lately as I started it back up it seems to go from 100% to 15% in about 2 hrs so having to recharge in-between or while playing sucks. Has never been dropped or liquid damage either and still looks new out the box. My brightness is always kept to 50% and volume to mute or very low. Would a battery from a OLED make a difference? Or can some settings cause this. I'm tempted to sell it and just get a OLED Model.

Or can some settings cause this. I'm tempted to sell it and just get a OLED Model.
Is there any real reason why batteries that don't have much room to really move, can't be held in place by velcro rather than glue based adhesive?
Velcro is probably too tall & wouldn’t hold them securely
What fluid is inside the Ultrasonic cleaner? Alcohol?
