Добавлен 24 янв 2022
The Consoloscopy Channel is where I go deep on consoles and controllers. I've been a fan of taking electronics apart and back together since I was just a little kid 25+ years ago. I've watched, learned, and practiced a lot of the last few years and thanks to the surplus of RUclips videos out there I'm managed to fix quite a few consoles and controllers. I am a video editor by trade and figured it would be a fun and challenging project to combine the two passions. I like my tutorials to be simple, comprehensive, and satisfying. I hope anyone who watches leaves with the feeling that they, too, can complete the task shown. Good lighting, sound, camera angles goes a long way whether you fully realize it or not when viewing any sort of tutorial. When it comes down to it, if I can pull these sort of fixes, disassembles, cleanings, repairs, and reassemblies you probably can too. Of course the right tools are needed as is support via Likes, Subscribers, Comments, and Shares.
Nintendo Wii U Gamepad - Disassembly, Cleaning, and Reassembly
I got this Wii U Gamepad from a buddy for relatively cheap and while it did work, it needed some cleaning. In this video we take the gamepad completely apart, clean up the plastics, then reassemble it.
The Wii U Gamepad isn't a hard breakdown but with the stickers on the back, some annoying cable runs, and plentiful ribbons, there is room for mistakes. As stated in the video, there were two spots I briefly overlooked that you should not.
The whole job: 7/10.

Playstation 5 Controller - Partial Disassembly, Cleaning, Drift Fix
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
Offered to fix my neighbor's stick drift on his PS5 controller. It was an unusual sporadic drift. Not a constant. Picked up some Helder Game Tech Analog Stick Drift Fix pads to see if I could fix up the controller. Difficulty: 5/10 because you have to solder. But it's one of the easiest soldering jobs. Yeah, I know, I know. My soldering job doesn't look that great. But it's functional. Timecode...
SHORT - Steam Deck DBRAND Case Replacement Unboxing
Просмотров 840Год назад
DBRAND messed up with their first go at a case for the Steam Deck... well, they messed up the kickstand. But they made it right by sending everyone free replacements. Let's take a look at the unboxing process DBRAND is known for and what to expect with the sent replacement. Items sent: Replacement case, new turn based removable kickstand, what appears to be a slight plastic riser, and a USB-C e...
XBox One Original - Disassembly, Cleaning, Reassembly
Просмотров 827Год назад
I got this original XBox One for $50. It was looking pretty bad in the pictures so I figured it’d be a solid project. Getting the console apart is relatively tricky. This was the first Microsoft console I’ve disassembled and feel it’s less intuitive compared to other consoles. As you see, this console was as filthy as the others. Nothing really needed to be replaced fortunately. I’d say with a ...
Nintendo Switch Lite - Disassembly, Cleaning, Assembly, Polishing, Skin Removal
Просмотров 8592 года назад
I got my hands on a Nintendo Switch Lite that has seen some usage on it. Some buttons were quite gunky and sticky and it had an unnecessary Spiderman skin stuck to it. The rubber on the analog sticks had also been worn away. My goal was to get this NSL looking as new as it could be and change out the sticks. The whole job difficulty: 7/10.

Nintendo Wii U - Disassembly, Cleaning, Assembly, and Polishing
Просмотров 36 тыс.2 года назад
I got this Wii U Console off of eBay and while it did work, it was pretty gross. In this video we take the console completely apart, clean up the plastics, motherboard, and metal, reassemble the console, then give a good polishing. The Wii U console isn't terribly hard to get into and put back together, but it does take some time and has about 25 screws(about 6 different variations). The antenn...
Gamecube Controller - Thumbstick and C-Stick Module Replacement
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 года назад
While I am considered an amateur when it comes to things like soldering, I was able to disassemble, clean, replace the modules, and reassemble this Nintendo Gamecube controller that had a ton of play in its thumbstick. I figured this would be a good confidence-building first episode for this channel that will focus on cleaning and fixing consoles and controllers. The thought is that if I can do...
This should have been called the mii and not the wii. It focuses on a personal game pad where as the wii wad for the family or friends. Total miss step by nentendo cause the wii u is a lame name. The wii and wii u are so similar it's crazy and it's why nentendo sales were dismal compared to the predecessor wii. Wii was so fun back then when was sweeping the nation and did 100million units
Thanks. I needed an HD an clean video of cleaning and reaseembly
Hey did you reapply thermal paste?
Didn't need to. The thermal pad was still intact.
i have like 3 screws left and i dont get what i did wrong
Bruh how do you not have more subscribers with a channel name like that lol
lol. RIGHT!?
Thank you for the detailed video!
You are quite welcome!
These videos are something I watch to go to sleep because it's relaxing
Thank you so much! I very much appreciate the comment/compliment! Hopefully more coming soon!
@@consoloscopy yay
Just came across this video since I found my Wii U collecting dust and decided to mod it and clean it up so it looks respectable in the living room. I love this detailed video and your channel name slaps. I subbed and look forward to more awesome vids man! Keep it up!
When are you posting again? love ur videos :)
My screen isnt turning on after reassembly
thank you. helped me a lot.🙂
Hey, great video! Haven't found anything alike! I have one problem tho: I dissassembled it to fix the squeaking rumble motor. I had a second gamepad, for spare parts, that I used the motor of. Now it doesn't work with either gamepad. Can I fix this or do I have to live without feedback now?
Are you 100% are fully connecting the ribbon? I'll assume so. If that is the case, I don't know why neither would work. Are you 100% sure the other one you had for spare parts worked originally?
@@consoloscopy I have put it in as far as possible, but this probably is a thing. The other one worked, the only thing not so nice about the spare was the screen. Well, no rumble is less disturbing than squeaks, so I can live with that. Thanks!
I had my wii u since 2014 when i was 11, anyway, my gamepad rumble motors are pretty weak from me dropping the gamepad. Are the motors easily replaceable?
I imagine swapping the analog sticks, which is quite easy, would take care of that for you.
I have two Wii U's. Mine is in good impeccable condition but the ones I had gave my children they got it so dirty. I was going to take it apart but after watching this video I'm thinking I'm just going to send it to someone, it's way too much and I don't have the patience for it
Thank you so much I cleaned my White Wii U now.👍
Hell yeah, dude!
Is there anything that can be skipped or kept together if im just swapping all the internals into a new shell?
Thanks for showing :)
Thank you for this!! I Need to replace a screen and thanks for this.
I'm stuck at the ending It Doesn't stick properly
Anything old like that will probably never stick right again after removing them sadly. Just gotta do the best you can.
@@consoloscopy i fixed it, omg i put the Pen entrance upside down 🤦 ngl the whole process was pain in my back
The „a“ button sometimes doesn’t respond when pressing it while playing a game. What could be the issue and how could i fix that?
Gotta make sure there's nothing obstructing the button from the board. Also might be faulty circuitry.
@@consoloscopy i have opened it and there was a tiny bit of dust between the button and the rubber. Removed it and now it works :)
@@limitlessboy6423 This pleases me.
What type of screws?
Found this since I was thinking of disassembling mine, very clear!
Thanks! I hope it helped.
Great video! I just bought an old Wii U and I watch the whole video! Thx
HI! I know you don't have a lot of subscribers so I decided to subscribe. Thank you for making this video! I like to repair but I haven't learned the wii u yet. This is extremely helpful seeing as I have a few of these gamepads that need some attention. The pace of the video is great, lots of attention to detail! I also like the commentary! That's the best part! It's like having a buddy along to warn you of common fails and make sure you don't snap a ribbon cable or tiny hidden cord somewhere. Foreal, I appreciate all your recommendations and insights! Your explanations make me feel like I am actually learning something, not just following along. The tips and warnings and detailed explanations really do the trick for me! It's way better to watch you do all this work and explain it step by step versus following a quick guide that tries to be a bit more "entertaining." I'm sure I'll be watching your wii u console breakdown and clean video soon as well. Thanks in advance! Using Udpih recovery menu I figured out I likely have some fuses to replace or bridge. I hope over time you get lots of views on this video, you deserve it! Take care! P.S. I think the wii u is a very fun, interesting, useful console, it's so awesome haha, way too little love for it, I missed it when it first released and came back to admire it post mortem. People will look back at it like they do the dreamcast eventually, but not much love for it right now lol! Thanks for sharing a little for the poor ol' thing! Oh, and your channel name is perfect!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this comment. As always, I'm super pumped this helped/will help a fellow tinkerer. Even more happy when I'm informed how much it helped. Thanks a lot!

I like how everything is distributed in the gamepad. I wish the Wii U itself was that easy to open and clean... I have two and I'm terrified of opening any of them.
Hi, amazing video it is such a complicated console . In my case my WiiU got fried during a storm last month and I have been looking for Guide on how to fix it. I suppose I need to swap the power supply so I will buy probably a new block. Are there any tips you have for a guy that wants to start with cleaning and fixing consoles?
Is there any way to clean the side air filters without needing to disassemble the whole thing?
I don't actually know but I imagine that would be fairly unsafe. You can try some cotton swabs and IPA and try not to let it drip too much into the inside. For a real cleanin', I'd open it up.
Great video! Insane level of detail! The only thing I missed was, did you re-apply thermal paste? TronicsFix has me hooked on wanting to see that
Make sure you remove the SD card first... as with anything but i love videos like this so chill, knowledgeable and satisfying to watch. No fluff or nonsense!
Yo I'm one of the few who cherished their WiiU consoles from release until gamepad failure. So did my wife, so did our kids. Switch is great, probably the GOAT for me, but the WiiU was special and it offers some unique experiences and there's something magical about fixing your original hardware rather than replacing it. Turns out the reason my touch screen stopped working on my gampad was that some tiny pieces of gravel had gotten in there somehow and this did the trick. Much appreciated, friend. Liked and subbed.
Man, I really appreciate that. I'm glad you got it figured out and that this video helped you. Repair not replace.
I've tried soldering gamecube joystick many times. Every time, the controller with the new sticks always drifts aggressively. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I just did it and I have the same problem
It's weird that all the brand new cool cosmetic mods for that controller are so good relative for the price, yet we're still stuck on cannibalizing wii nun-chucks just to get good stick modules.
Lol! I forgot to flick the clip back on the ribbon for the face of the console. Wondered why the buttons won’t work 😂 thanks 👋
lol oops!
I took mine apart and I regret it now everything is not right 😂
I’m watching this just to get a quarter out of one of the card slots on the face because my deadbeat cousin thought it’d be funny to mess with my console collection.
lol. Hey, I'll take a view any way I can get it!
Cool
What if we don't have a tri tip.
You'll need one of those.
Hola, disculpa me podrías decirlas medidas del thermal pad es que quiero limpiar la mía pero no se de cual comprar o que medidas tiene para poder comprarla.
Awesome
My wiiu make a stange noise when i put a disk, it get only clean but only the disc box (i dont clow if they only remove dust) but now my wiiu make the same noise but only a very little, this is a video before the clean, i dont know if it need something more m.ruclips.net/user/shortsWVdpJ7N0pUs
My Wii U doesn't even attempt to turn on. Capacitors, coils and fuse, correct. Any ideas?
Man, it could be anything. Power source would be my first guess.
@@consoloscopy Thanks, but it's the first thing I checked, it's correct. I have also tried to apply voltage with a laboratory power supply and the voltage comes on, I think that some IC or transistor must have gone, but breaking a console while it is not in use just like that sounds like a laugh on the part of Nintendo and the client. Now on top of that they don't even admit them for repair even if you pay. I have a Sony PS2 working without problem since 2003.
Great video and great name for your channel
Thanks lol!
@@consoloscopy are you looking for a sponsor?
@@consoloscopy i also saw you are a video editor by trade. I am currently looking for someone who would edit our videos. Would you be interested?
@@fasttechvideo Not actively looking necessarily but open to options. Btw, just looked at your channel and it's good stuff. You know the grind. Respect.
Gotta be the worst console to disassemble
I don't know. The antennas are annoying to run but it's not terrible.
The fat 360 is ridiculous, it took me an hour just to get past all the plastic clips/snaps. This one doesn't look too fun either with all the hidden screws😢😅
@@mrbungle589 Just go slooowwww. You got this!
Little question here what happens if I have 3 leftover screws and 1 possible extra that fell on the floor.
That's no good. But if it still turns on, I guess you are good to go?
HELPPP SAME
Just cleaned out two overheating Wii U thanks to this perfectly detailed video. Thank you very much
that's great! I love to hear it. I have a Wii U Gamepad vid dropping in the next week or two.
38:41 the only mistake i found during the assembly process. Those rubber pieces go on the other plastic cover with the 45° mark looking down. That's because it needs to slide into the other plastic cover. The rest of the process is beyond perfect!
Rats. Yeah. You are right. Thanks for that! I appreciate the compliment and the critique!
Nice video. Just so you'll know, the GameCube controller does not have a battery. That is a rumble motor. Also, I don't know how your controller ended up with 1 phillips screw. The GameCube controllers should be tri-wing screws on all 6. Still, all in all nice video.
really good and detailed video. The only question I have is, would it have made sense to replace the thermal pad with new quality thermal paste? Will carry out repair and maintenance processes myself using the video, thank you very much.
I hope it goes well for you! Yeah, I coulda changed the thermal paste. I intended to but you can see the scratch in the thermal paste, that was from when I tried to pry it off. However the thermal pad was not in tact and didn't peel off easily at all. It looked good so I left it. Good practice is to swap it out though.
This would be watched x100 times more if Wii U was sold like Wii's. But one of the best Wii U content and it is free. Thank you.
very cool. thank you! between this and the regular wii, nintendo did a great job of discouraging hard modding.
lol, yes and no. It's not THAT hard to get in there. But soft mods are the way to go anyway.
