@@Tronicsfix I dont work with nasa but I do have friends there...they said feel free to pick up anything that is floating around the orbit if you actually found any...jokingly of course
@@Tronicsfix I hope so, too!

As a member of the nerf community I will tell you quite literally any part of any blaster made after 1995 you can get the parts plus we might even help you customize your blasters
@Skip Snap it’s about time you move up to real guns now 😂 you’re too young to own any if your in high school but see if your dad wants to get in to it. My favorite thing to do is blow up pumpkins and watermelons
It just blows my mind that we most likely have tons of stuff in land fills that had items that were only one small fix from being useable again. So sad! We need people to be more like this guy!
@@SilverFang95 Yes there's a difference. The difference is that you repair the thing and get extra years of use out of it. Then you *recycle it* like a respectful person.
@@todorovicmisha before watching this video he didn't know nerf guns existed but now that he does, he's gonna make sure to buy a couple and harass his cats because they pee on his shoes, thinking that that's gonna make them stop doing it

This is a new type of video for me (never fixed nerf guns before). What do you think of it? Should I fix more random stuff or stick with game consoles...or just somewhere in the middle?
I think fixing anything and saving it from the trash heap makes good content. Love to see the useful life of the products extended (even if they are just more plastic sometimes).
Yes you can 3D print the parts but it's not going to be easy. With right file ready to download sure but if had to design the part first it's going to be very time consuming. I know because I've done this to replace a battery cover for a GPS tracker. Buying it from eBay is a better idea. The other way would be vacuum forming the part using a spar part. It's a lot easier then 3D printing
For the second Nerf gun someone primed it then flip on the safety. And that round orange thing at the back of it is a depriming switch I hope this helped
I cannot read his name without Riley's vocals, I just can't. It's like how some people can't read a Morgan Freeman quote without hearing the voice of Morgan Freeman.
I really enjoy watching all your projects and fixes! My 11 year old son has started watching with me and has a new appreciation for his things he took for granted in the past. Thanks and my son says great job to. I hope you have inspired him to get into electronics but so far he really only has the patience to take it apart and blow it with the compressor. LOL It is a start.
Just pulling the the back end pushes on the orange piece and disengages the locking tab. That tab is there to keep it from kicking back when you fire it. So the spring energy is able to propel the ball and not send the back sliding piece back at you.
I’m a retired bench tech and one tool that I picked up recently was a dermal power screwdriver. Also made by bosh. They really help out with the type of work you do. I picked it up on Amazon.
I think they are impossible to fix, but thats very hard challenge, I wont blame him if he dont accept it. Plus, he needs to go outside of his studio to test it, and maybe he doesnt have a proper place.
@@Tronicsfix maybe, if you could find, please fix some nitromethane ones :3 Yeah, that's pure mechanics and not electronic, but would be cool to watch and also that will increase your skills in that sphere :)
Dude, You're a fairly competent repair person taking things apart and fixing them. Keep doing random things and you'll grow your channel for sure. Most channels just take stuff apart and have no clue what the hell they're doing. Lol
I got a job in the maintenance department of a big cabinet manufacturer with no experience years ago fixing drills and sanders. It's almost always the power cable. Easy fixes
I've thought about that. Seems like it would be pretty cool. Might have to look into that. I'd need to find somewhere to buy broken ones in bulk though. Although not too many...don't have time for that!
Man i am supposed to wake up @ 5:30 for work, and now is 1:25, and im watching you fixing toys. Cant sleep without watching the whole video. Great content as always. Keep up the good work!
Per your ask in the video, non-gamer here who would love to see you fixing more common devices/home equipment (especially stuff like power tools or other electronics) - your skills, know-how, and production value are top notch and would love to see more stuff angled toward non-gaming stuff (though the console repair videos are still pretty fun to watch).
I really like this concept; taking something fun that broke, fix it back up, and sell it not only for a profit, but for a lower price than a new one so that someone on a tighter budget can still enjoy it. Beats throwing it away like so many others would do. Keep these videos coming! :D
Not sure if you already found out for yourself. The orange pieces on the back serve two purposes. The bottom round piece is a de-prime, which uncocks the blaster and the top flater piece is a priming indicator. Also, more please.
I like that this was several different items in a single theme. Less repetitive that the usual stuff. The usual stuff has it's merit, this was a nice change of pace.
To be honest, I avoided clicking on this video because I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it. Upon watching, it was both fun and fresh just like Steve predicted. A+
I´d say it´s really interesting how I enjoy looking at these type of videos, I think restoration as a whole it´s a very positive thing to do, to take something broken and fix it until it becomes fully usable again, your videos are great man, keep it up.
Honestly love these different types of repair videos. Also really showcases how your skillset is so strong in just electronics in general and can be utilized across the board, not just restricted to game consoles. Great work!
Depends on the time needed. If there's already file floating around then yes. If no, then you're might actually spending more money by spending your time to design, trial and error stuff.
Mike AngeloP:LA by buying a 3D printer you now have the tools you need to create required materials to fix certain things. That would be a great investment in my mind. Stonks
Many or most electronics people know mechanical also. Nerf guns work on mechanical principles. You can do this stuff he does if you just think about and try.
As a guy who did electronics in College I can say Mechanical Engineering is a little easier and those so called non electrical Nerf guns use mechanics to work all those springs and cogs and so on that's mechanical engineering ALSO Engineering is one of those types of industries where if you are a specialist in one specific region you would be fairly knowledgeable in another region
Just finished watching, good job on reparing the guns. They look like they could repel a zombie apocalypse, ours in Canada shoot stale timbits. I really enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the good work.
imo you shouldn't their basically selling a problem they don't wanna deal with. the only thing that was technically broken was the last gun and arguably the 2nd Big one were the only "broken ones".
I know this is years late but I do a lot of 3D printing and a lot of working with plastics and avid action figure collector so have manipulated enough plastic in my day. Heating the plastic up and bending where you want and hold until it cools. A safer way to bend without breaking and sometimes makes stronger. Doesn't take a lot of heat either. Hot water can even do the trick or even heat gun concentrated on that area. Can heat water in a mug in microwave for 2 to 3 minutes and dip that piece or can spoon or syringe water on that part. Love that you keep stuff out of landfills and inspired me to look out for broken stuff more to try and fix and make useful again. One man's trash is another's treasure is a tale of time.
I have watched countless videos of you repairing electronics and I will likely never buy a Nerf gun, but for some reason THIS is the video that made me finally click the subscribe button 😂 Keep up the great work!
Broken GPU's and monitors are a pain to fix, for GPU's most of their problems is that the main chip has gone bad and the only fix would be a replacement which is almost impossible since is really hard and expensive to find good standalone chips or reballing which is more a lottery than a fix. For monitors the main problem is that the market is full of different brands and models so it's more a job of finding what's worng with the monitor, order the part, wait for it to arrive than the proper replacement and even then is a nightmare, too many different models/revisions and most of them lack schematics. Talking about mice or keyboards, most of their problems are wear and tear of the buttons or that the usb cable is failing, so no much entertainment in watching a dude resoldering a usb cable.
I know this video is over a year old now, but as someone who Nerfs as a hobby I am always interested in seeing how others tinker and analyze blasters when the break. I enjoyed watching you work through each issue and devise a solution. I've written out some info from my experiences with some of the blasters you worked on. First Blaster: Rival Kronos -The two sliding pieces function to prevent people from putting fingers inside of the blaster when priming it (priming is pulling the handle back and then pushing it forward). The pieces probably got bent somehow and were preventing the priming slide from moving properly. Second Blaster: Rival Kronos -The rectangular window on the back of the priming slide shows a "prime" indicator. If it is orange that means the blaster is primed and can be fired (after you turn the safety off), if it is not orange then the blaster is not primed. The small circular lever, when you pull it down, lets you pull the priming slide back without having to fire the blaster. My guess is that the blaster was primed but the safety (which prevents the trigger from being pulled) was not off, so the blaster couldn't be fired. Third Blaster: Rival Apollo -Because this blaster uses a gear system there is always some slop because of the gears' manufacturing tolerances. Because of this, the priming handle doesn't always sit forward enough to disengage the internal trigger lock. I found holding the priming handle forward with a small amount of force (after priming the blaster) will allow the trigger to be pulled. Sixth Blaster: Rival Prometheus -The metal used by Hasbro is prone to shrinkage when it gets too hot and/or when too much electrical current is passed through it. Most likely caused by the bad connection you found inside of the blaster. I hope you enjoyed fixing the blasters, I definitely enjoyed watching.
@@Tronicsfix i Watched the game console videos and didn't quite sub for those, but this on the other hand got my sub.. Nice seeing someone get out of their comfort zone and try something new. Each nerf gun is interesting to see how they make them work.
This kind of content is great too! Your channel is about fixing things, sure mainly electronics. But I find it fascinating in and of itself. My curiosity is always piqued by your videos.
A 3D printing does not run Magic! If no one has made a file so you could just download it and print the you need to run CAD software like Fusion360. Then you need to design the part. Or of you have a very expensive 3D scanner you could scan the part. Edit it then send the file to the printer. Then make the part. You need to learn how to operate the 3D printer, learn how to design using the CAD software then once you have mastered all of then your good to go. I’m a retired bench tech and bought one 2 years ago. So I am will aware what’s needs to be done. It’s lots of fun and very rewarding but does take time.
@@NewAgeDIY definitely, kinda depends on what printer you buy, but I think he will manage hoe to operate a 3D printer. And you are completely right about the parts that are necessary. There is a big community of sharing files for free. But still not every thing is made yet. If Tron needs a file designed he can always ask me and try my best. I'm an experienced 3D designer.
David Os / yes you’re right. The community of independent makers around the world will definitely help out Tron if he needs help. I also think he’s the type of person that would benefit from meeting up with people in is area. There are lots of user groups that would show him around. The point I was making in my comments was to explain to some people that 3D printer is not something that you turn on a print something out like you do with a inkjet printer. One day this will happen I’m sure. I understand that some of the lasers cutters are doing just that. It’s a exciting world indeed.
@@Tronicsfix awesome, thanks for the reply! I used to fix phones for some side cash and these videos have reignited that interest. Subscribed for sure, keep it up! Interested to see the follow up on the batch of Xboxes with power issues.
+1 for fixing other things. For the the big white gun that needed the battery pack replaced I can suggest to open the pack, check which of the inside batteryes is not working and replace just that one. You shluld be able to find it easy online. I repaired my electric screwdrive battery pack this way and the cost was just 25% from the cost of a replacement pack.
Like the new items your repairing....TIP for toys, nerf, etc....BE CAREFUL of those little parts that “pop” out/up when take other off.....you’ll end up going crazy figuring out where it came from & why have extra parts🤣 But you are a Pro....so sure you be just fine😉 Like the new content, L8R ✌🏻
Me and my brother have had nerf guns since a very young age and it’s interesting to see someone with real world experience taking apart something you took apart as a kid, some things I would known right away, but some things he goes way farther than I even now at capable of, very cool!
My first thought after pressing the play button was "what the hell is doing now?!?", but I have to say: that went very well :-) It is great pleasure to see you repair toys, and, very important, have a lot success with it. Even for me it was a pain to see all three parts of the xbox one videos from the past. The ratio of repaired guns is at least "a bit" better than the ratio of the repaired xboxes. Keep going! :-)

A heat gun is nice when reshaping plastic, helps get the perfect shape and helps it set without tending toward a repeat problem :)
I know this video is over a year old now, but as someone who Nerfs as a hobby I am always interested in seeing how others tinker and analyze blasters when the break. I enjoyed watching you work through each issue and devise a solution. I've written out some info from my experiences with some of the blasters you worked on.
First Blaster: Rival Kronos
-The two sliding pieces function to prevent people from putting fingers inside of the blaster when priming it (priming is pulling the handle back and then pushing it forward). The pieces probably got bent somehow and were preventing the priming slide from moving properly.
Second Blaster: Rival Kronos
-The rectangular window on the back of the priming slide shows a "prime" indicator. If it is orange that means the blaster is primed and can be fired (after you turn the safety off), if it is not orange then the blaster is not primed. The small circular lever, when you pull it down, lets you pull the priming slide back without having to fire the blaster. My guess is that the blaster was primed but the safety (which prevents the trigger from being pulled) was not off, so the blaster couldn't be fired.
Third Blaster: Rival Apollo
-Because this blaster uses a gear system there is always some slop because of the gears' manufacturing tolerances. Because of this, the priming handle doesn't always sit forward enough to disengage the internal trigger lock. I found holding the priming handle forward with a small amount of force (after priming the blaster) will allow the trigger to be pulled.
Sixth Blaster: Rival Prometheus
-The metal used by Hasbro is prone to shrinkage when it gets too hot and/or when too much electrical current is passed through it. Most likely caused by the bad connection you found inside of the blaster.
I hope you enjoyed fixing the blasters, I definitely enjoyed watching.
Want more of this, Love these kind of vids, Keep it up :)
Would love to see more. Great Job Man 😀👍.
Looking forward to see the partial power Xbox video!
Thats a nightmare!
Fixing Nerf guns? Never seen that before, but I like it! :D
Glad you liked it!
@@Tronicsfix i Watched the game console videos and didn't quite sub for those, but this on the other hand got my sub.. Nice seeing someone get out of their comfort zone and try something new. Each nerf gun is interesting to see how they make them work.
Great video, it's nice to see some easier, lower stake repairs, for the average consumer
This kind of content is great too! Your channel is about fixing things, sure mainly electronics. But I find it fascinating in and of itself. My curiosity is always piqued by your videos.
I'd love to see more of this type of thing, more toys and more fun :D
Thanks for the comment. I might do more. Nerf has some great new blasters out
Just bought a shirt from your merch store! Wearing it to my Band Camp Rehearsal.
Nice! Thanks so much. Hope you enjoy wearing it!
Love this stuff, a 3D printer could also be a good investment. If you ever need some replacement parts and they are no longer available to buy.
Yep...it probably would be a good investment
A 3D printing does not run Magic!
If no one has made a file so you could just download it and print the you need to run CAD software like Fusion360. Then you need to design the part. Or of you have a very expensive 3D scanner you could scan the part. Edit it then send the file to the printer. Then make the part. You need to learn how to operate the 3D printer, learn how to design using the CAD software then once you have mastered all of then your good to go. I’m a retired bench tech and bought one 2 years ago. So I am will aware what’s needs to be done. It’s lots of fun and very rewarding but does take time.
@@NewAgeDIY definitely, kinda depends on what printer you buy, but I think he will manage hoe to operate a 3D printer. And you are completely right about the parts that are necessary. There is a big community of sharing files for free. But still not every thing is made yet.
If Tron needs a file designed he can always ask me and try my best. I'm an experienced 3D designer.
David Os / yes you’re right. The community of independent makers around the world will definitely help out Tron if he needs help. I also think he’s the type of person that would benefit from meeting up with people in is area. There are lots of user groups that would show him around. The point I was making in my comments was to explain to some people that 3D printer is not something that you turn on a print something out like you do with a inkjet printer. One day this will happen I’m sure. I understand that some of the lasers cutters are doing just that. It’s a exciting world indeed.
Very cool watching you figure out something new and get it fixed.
This was a fun video to make. I need to make another one
I could literally watch a video of you fixing. Enjoy the game consoles, but I like this too.
I love how he smiles in his thumbnails
Istg this guy be fixing everything.
Broken game consoles? Fixed
Broken toys? Fixed
Broken marriages? Fixed
Hotel? Trivago
So cool!! What was that bronze rolled material you used when removing the analog stick of the nerf drone controller? Thanks!
Solder wick
@@Tronicsfix awesome, thanks for the reply! I used to fix phones for some side cash and these videos have reignited that interest. Subscribed for sure, keep it up! Interested to see the follow up on the batch of Xboxes with power issues.
+1 for fixing other things. For the the big white gun that needed the battery pack replaced I can suggest to open the pack, check which of the inside batteryes is not working and replace just that one. You shluld be able to find it easy online. I repaired my electric screwdrive battery pack this way and the cost was just 25% from the cost of a replacement pack.
That’s really impressive, and it goes to show how quickly people throw stuff out when they could fix it. I’ll certainly think twice from now on.
The “orange lock” is a unjaming mechanism to un jam your gun
Loved this video, it's been a long time since I've watched a 30 minute video all the way through.
Like the new items your repairing....TIP for toys, nerf, etc....BE CAREFUL of those little parts that “pop” out/up when take other off.....you’ll end up going crazy figuring out where it came from & why have extra parts🤣 But you are a Pro....so sure you be just fine😉
Like the new content, L8R ✌🏻
Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed this video.
I'm a fan of fixing different stuff on here. Keep up the good work!
You absolutely need to do more of these. Finding this was like Christmas 🎉
Yes please, do the occasional toy repair. Thanks!!
The real question is can you fix my 90s super soaker 3000 with backpack though? ;) awesome work!
That was a tremendous gun
Any update on the APU/Northbridge Xbox Ones?
Not yet
@@Tronicsfix I think a lot of us are interested in it buddy lol look forward to it. Great video you had fun with that big launcher lol
This guy makes fixing things look like a piece of cake
Me and my brother have had nerf guns since a very young age and it’s interesting to see someone with real world experience taking apart something you took apart as a kid, some things I would known right away, but some things he goes way farther than I even now at capable of, very cool!
Would like to see more things like this and other electronics besides tablets and cell phones to many people focus on them
Thanks for the input
This should be a once a month special video or something
Good idea
I like the variety but I really want to see more vintage consoles fixed especially ps2 because I have one that needs fixing
I just found out about your channel, and I enjoyed your content very much and I want you to know that I appreciate people like you. Thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate comments like yours!
That joystick fix was awesome man
Can you do ps4 controller or other console controller and trying to fix it please and thank you 🙏
Haha funny!
Yayyyy!!!! Am I the only one who excited that all got fixed?
I was too!
I like that u are trying different thinks I think u should more often
Glad you're enjoying that!
Thanks
I'm not in to making repairs myself, bit I find those videos super satisfying.
My first thought after pressing the play button was "what the hell is doing now?!?", but I have to say: that went very well :-) It is great pleasure to see you repair toys, and, very important, have a lot success with it. Even for me it was a pain to see all three parts of the xbox one videos from the past. The ratio of repaired guns is at least "a bit" better than the ratio of the repaired xboxes. Keep going! :-)
