Repair Attempt: Cordless Angle Grinder With a Bashed-In Battery Terminal (Powerfist 9049024)
Here, we take a look at a seemingly brand-new Powerfist cordless angle grinder from Princess Auto's Scratch-and-Dent sale. It also seems to have been previously owned by a caveman. One of the battery contacts has been smashed in somehow, plus I end up doing extra work for no reason.

" F A W E R D"
I want new belt for it , i have same problem Which size of belt should I get?? Thank you
Hey just wondering when will you return to the ps2 with the magic smoke?
Hi there, yep I'll probably be giving this one another shot next month. Word of warning though - I don't have high hopes for it... Thanks for watching though!
A lot of people thought this one wouldn’t red ring..
Ive damaged that ribbon cable before too, I think it happens to most ppl who crack these open for the 1st time. Not sure i'd run jumpers long term tho, id find a parts board to grab those 0 resistors from.
I do believe you're correct. I think I nicked that cable when poking around for a clip. As for those jumpers, I've got some resistors on the way from China, so we'll see it back on the operating table again in the future. I definitely agree with not doing that as a long term solution though - it's somewhat akin to replacing a fuse with a nail.
hey! I was having the same issue, and found this video super helpful! the belt, and the mechanism it spins on were fine in my vaccuum--but the horrible screeching noise remains! Would you recommend some oil on the mechanism that spins the cylindrical brush? this vaccuum sucks, but i don't want to toss it since it isn't that old!
Thanks for watching, and glad I could provide some (limited) help. There's a second video where I fix the warranty replacement vacuum that was sent out (and broke three months later... so, yeah, these are not great vacuums). ruclips.net/video/SF9grl8_nag/видео.html Not sure if I'd recommend the oil, as that may just end up getting all gummy once it starts incorporating itself with dirt. But, one thing I'd recommend checking is the condition of the mating surfaces on the roller. I had to end up filing down some bumps and nicks on the surface of that second vacuum for a similar reason iirc. Also, do a sanity check to make sure all hair is cleaned off, as it's easy to miss some on the end of the roller. Lastly, the default belt that comes with the vacuum does seem to be quite loose. I even ordered some replacements thinking it was worn out, but... yeah, those belts were also loose. If you have some heavy duty tape (this is not a permanent fix), you can try winding some around the roller so that the belt fits more snugly. If that eliminates the noise, you can try getting a belt that's maybe a few mm shorter? But, yeah, I got this vacuum for free and I feel ripped off... I hope this helps you though.
Oh trust me….that’s not the only original xbox with red ring of death
Exactly I Personally had one that red ringed on me after years
so i know some people are shitting on your teardown technique in the comments, but god damn this was an entertaining video. I appreciate you keeping in the flubs and foibles. and I hope you maybe do an RGH hack on this in the future! also, BONUS GAME, WOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks for watching! Glad I could provide some entertainment. :D And, I'm pretty sure this isn't the last time we'll see this 360 on the operating table...
I would recommend delidding the CPU, as there’s thermal paste underneath which needs to be replaced. Josh Davidson has a video on that, definitely recommend his channel as he’s an Xbox 360 expert
Thanks for watching! Delidding did cross my mind, but then I remembered Vince's attempt to delid a PS3 hah. I'll definitely take a look at that video though, and may do a follow-up where I try my luck at it.
Hello guys, please can you tell me what kind of value is the WR 644 resistor, located next to the chip, because although so carefully I tried to put the clamps on the chip a couple of times because it was failing to read it, but I managed by mistake to undo the resistor there and never found it again. It's extremely small. Thank you!!!
I don't have the sub here anymore, but go to ZJ695000's video (linked in this video's description) and drop him a line. I believe he works on them all the time, and might be able to help you out.

The "little gasket thing" might be clumped hair tightened together. I've had that a few times. Hair shouldn't be able to get in there but somehow hair gets everywhere. Regards from a Tom :)
The official Vax repair video failed to realise that real-world gets dirty, grimly and worn. Also that there's usual more than 1 problem before 'normal' people, like my aspie self, get around to bothering to fix side-issues in our lives. Regards from a Tom :)
Ahh, I lifted the front lights off the plastic cover. Luckily it wasn't glued in. I hadn't thought of unplugging from the mbord. <shrugs> other than that my Vax repair was identical(ish). Thanks and regards from a Tom :)
Brilliant! :) This video was a huge help. I'd gotten stuck but unclipping the top panel gave access to the couple of screws that were blocking me. Different model, heck different make but similar enough to make sense. Thanks and regards from a Tom :)
Thanks, and glad I could be of help! Also, the build quality of these vacuums seems quite sub-par. The replacement that Hoover sent out also acted up within 3 months...
This was a very enjoyable to watch. I myself have opened up 2 ps3 all the way apart to clean and replace the thermal paste. I have a 2nd hand Xbox 360E that I want to disassemble, clean and apply new thermal paste. I also got a PS4 slim recently from a pawn shop to do same procedures. I laughed when you said wooden fork when it was clearly a knife. lol
Thanks! Also, here's a little "inside-baseball" trivia for this video. While I'd love to say that the "fork" thing was an intentional joke... in reality, I didn't even notice that my brain flubbed that until I had already finished editing the video and had uploaded it.
This is a Waitsburg 4GB, which is a Corona version. Most of the Corona versions have those resistors that cause overheating, there isn't really any known reason for why they fail.
Good to know for the future, and thanks for watching!
I fixed a samsung dvd drive by putting a working pcb board in
Only some of the slims had the 4GB flash included. The NAND size varied as well (matters if you do the RGH3 mod). I bought 3 or 4 from eBay last year and I think only one of them had the internal flash storage. Luckily they just use standard 2.5" SATA drives, and you can 3D print an enclosure for using your own drives as well. Plus you can plug in a FAT32 flash drive. I was expecting you to do a lot worse with the clips when I read the comments first. They really are a nightmare when you haven't gotten used to them yet. I think I wrestled with my first 360 Slim for an hour before I got anywhere, but after doing a few I can get them open no problem. This is my first time hearing about those 0 ohm resistors, that's a pretty interesting problem.
Thanks for the info about the flash memory! May do a re-visit on this and try out my new (for me) 3D printer. And, yep, those clips are an absolute nightmare...
Nice video
maybe worth it to repair yourself if your going to use it but not paying someone as you can find em for like $50.
Love your vids bro
Thanks, and appreciate the support!
Omg cute kitty. Good vid. 👍😸
Thanks! :)
Man, the teardown really hurt to watch. I suggest watching Josh Davidson's Slim teardown guides so you can properly disassemble one of these in the future. Reguardless, nice repair.
100% agreed. Though, you've gotta' admit, I did break way less tabs than most people would've predicted.
Great video thank you.
Thanks, I was glad to see how to identify negative on the cap holes. Cheers
No problem, and thanks for watching!
Not a good design. The bearing constant clogs with hair as others have mentioned. The screw that you could not remove is backwards (right hand thread - turn it backwards from normal to loosen). It does not have to be tight - if you over tighten it that will lock up the brush (just like the wrapped up hair - the brush rotation keeps the screw from coming loose). We like the vacuum but every other use the bearing needs to be cleaned - terrible design for a “pet vaccuum” - if you can avoid long hair that wraps up the brush bearing it works well.
100% agree. This vacuum is horrible. I got it for free, and still feel ripped off.
That's not a red ring it's a frag second of all there's multiple causes
I have that same type of xbox and it's red and someone said you can't fix it
Awesome video!😁
Thanks, and thank you for watching!
At first, thank you for all your effort. I would like to ask wheter do you plan to continue this thread, because it seems I’m in the same shoe as you. I’m after a mod chip removal, but the disk tray eject doesn’t work, no spinning just the blue button blinks when I press it. I also know that the drive worked before with the chip,and I have two machines with this symptom (ps2 scph-50004)
Thanks for watching, and definitely intend to get back to this one. Hopefully better news in the next re-visit!
Perfect
i have this problem too after removing the infinity matrix modchip..
BRO YOU GOTTA TELL ME IF IT WORKED MY XBOX HAS THE SAME PROBLEM IM ABOUT TO GO HOME AND DO THIS TO MINE I HAVE NOTHING TO LOOOOOOOOOOOSE
How was your experience?
@@IRVERA23-po1uo I did an oscilloscope probe between 2 Xboxes; a known good power supply and the power supply in the bad Xbox. There was a noise difference between the two, indicating a possible bad power supply, however switching power supplies did not affect the error on my Xbox. Sadly the Xbox is now a parts piece, there's nothing else I can do. It's possible the power supply could have helped but I know the clock cap exploding did a number on the components around it
Great video, very well explained and presented. I think this will fix my problem. Thank you.
Thanks! Very much appreciated, and I hope it helps you out.
MIne's doing the same thing. The belt seems looser than yours. But that drive gear has lost its teeth. Will try your shrink tubing idea. What size did you use? very nice jury rig solution.
Thanks. I believe it was a 1.5" piece of tube, but am not sure of the exact type - these were offcuts that a friend passed to me.
@@DiscountSasquatch I took apart that entire brush head left and right sides and found a wad of long hair tightly wound around the spindles like a fishing reel!. The belt was ok, altho some of the drive wheel teeth were worn, I used a little bit of gaffer's tape (which has cloth-like surface). Put it all back and it works. Thx
Nice work!
Thank you!
shouldn't you be using silicon grease not lithium.
Either can be used (from what I remember). However, silicone grease has a tendency to eat away at other parts made of silicone such as seals, belts, or wire insulation. (Not to say that all lithium greases are fine though - make sure they're not petroleum-based before applying them to plastic.)
What's missing is the typical quick change in colors and brightness when a scene on TV changes. You only have the slow changes.
Yeah they should also have periods where its darker and flashes bright when something exciting or action happens on screen.
Yep, in retrospect I should have added more than two fast-flashers (the camera didn't really pick those up very well too). But, if anyone wants to duplicate this cursed design, learn from my mistakes.
@@DiscountSasquatch I think there needs to be more coordination, even with fast flashers. Like you have a scene that runs for 2 to 10 seconds, in which you move the colors slowly, and then completely switch them over to new starting values, where you can have slow fading again. It's pretty much a job for a micro controller.
@graelex 100% agree with you. This was just really meant to be a small project that someone with little or no background in electronics can do. I might do a redemption arc though, and try out a version 2 with an Arduino.
You should try warming up your meds before taking them if they causing you to make mistakes. 😜
Hi everyone, I'll be posting a link to that 6 min timelapse here once RUclips's finished processing it. Not sure why anyone would want to watch it, but to each their own... Edit: And here's the link: ruclips.net/video/RmVpBFEGGzU/видео.html Enjoy?
My brush roller is still working but there is that same noise coming from mine. There seems to be hair caught around the main centerfuge drive which I cannot get the screw out to clean (that thingy you had to use pliers on. I can't get the backing plate off either. UGH! My model is similar but is red, not blue.
Yep, this is not a good vacuum cleaner. The replacement one that they sent out broke the exact same way three months later...
Could be an issue with the 47ohm Resistors near the GS GPU chip.
Hi, did you use this battery today?
Ssme things happened to mine.
I'm also having a similar problem! Weirdest part though is that it's random. Meaning, I can throw Combat Evolve on it, play it ok and then turn it off. Then later push the power button and get the red ring. After a power cycle it will work again. I only worked on computers so I'm a TAD hesitant on working on it, but I rather do it now than later
Thanks for watching! Sounds like you might have one or more bad capacitors on the board. If you're comfortable working on it, open it up and take a look and see if you notice any obviously bulging/leaky capacitors. (Note that bad capacitors won't always do that though.) At the very least (and assuming you don't have a version 1.6 Xbox), you'll want to remove the supercapacitor before it does too much damage to the motherboard.
The good news is the xbox was basically a computer. Not too much different in structure. Power supply, motherboard, disk drive, harddrive.
I watch all of the usual repair suspects and this was refreshingly different when you switched out the entire controller because you haven't yet spent years and (quite) some cash building up a spare parts store, great job keep going! :)
Im seeing you handle that power supply with no worries. Some people say it can zap the crap out of you. Whats up with that
Yep, the capacitors in power supplies can and will give you a nice shock if you're not careful. At 4:00 I'm checking the capacitors to see if they still have any juice left in them.
