Thanks for stopping by! My name is Steve and on this channel I document my business ventures, farm projects and a few other topics that interest me. I feature my 10 acre farm (that needs a lot of work), rental house projects and business as well as my commercial property that also needs a lot of work! I communicate in the comments section of my videos if you have any questions or comments.
My Private Beach is BLOCKED & I Bought Something Every Farm Should Have!
Buying property that hasn't really been taken care of has its challenges. There's been several heat waves along with wildfires that have made it extremely hot and smoky so I haven't made as much progress as I wanted. Every bit counts though and I've got a beautiful place to work!

Why I Closed My Successful Game Console Repair Business
Просмотров 22 тыс.4 года назад
I closed my profitable game console repair business. At first this sounds like a pretty dumb idea, right?! BUT when I started looking at the numbers of my business I found that one part of my business was really taking off while the rest of the business was doing just OK. I decided that OK wasn't good enough. My goal in business is to try to reach as many people as possible so this is what I de...

From $0 to $180K - How I Grew My Game Console Repair Business
Просмотров 42 тыс.7 лет назад
In this video I share my business story. How I started my business with no money and grew it into a $180K gross revenue business in 3 years. I started the business while being a stay at home Dad just to earn some income and contribute financially to the family. I started by sellingstuff out of our garage, moved to fixing broken microwaves, then into buying and selling Goodwill items, then to re...
I have a backwards ps3. Can you fix it? Do you still charge for repairs?
Hello Steve, I am an electric and electronics engineer and I am trying to find easy to repair electronics as hobby and to make some cash. Where do you find your broken electronics and parts, before your website?
what lens do you use for your overhead shots with your 80d camera? your amazon link lists 3 lenses.
Ahaha i just wanted to ask in tronics comments about how did you start your whole thing, business, RUclips channel, how did you get into repairs etc and then yt recommended me this. I can't express how motivational your videos and repairs are, especially for someone who loves consoles & gaming so much. Hope you're doing well rn and winning the battle vs cancer, I'm really sorry since i heard the news & i really hope you'll recover fully and be well.
I have an idea for your room to organize your repair tools. I repair consoles too and I make use of the ikea skadis system to neatly organize all my tools on the wall. I also bought a 3d printer, so I could print special fitting attachments for the tools to attach them to the skadis pegboard. It works great! Much recommended. If you have any questions let me know :)
Thank you for sharing
what tools do i need to get started on repairing console and controllers like a ps5 controler i have never sodered anything but id like to get into it but dont know what tools i need
I know this is an old video, but I'm coming up on my highschool graduation soon in may and im looking for something to start and found your channel and the restoration channel, and I began studying your videos and im about to start my own business right now I'm starting out with controllers since i only have those tools to clean up and repair, but I'm having some doubts since i don't have a main source of income and I'm hoping this will work and profit from this, would there be any good background knowledge before such as certain college classes/ certificates i would need to have to be successful?
I have some questions that I would love to bounce off you if you wouldn’t mind reaching out to me.
But the knowledge curve guys what do I do?? I am super interested in doing this and I just recently bought cheap broke consoles, soldering sets too but how do I know what does what and how to fix it??
Another garage story. Jooking. Youre great
How did you learn to repair consoles and various other electronics?
I was just gonna ask a quick question I’ve been doing soldering for 3540 years probably even more than that and I have the worst luck. We’ve always use Weller. I have tried some of the big, soldering consoles, and they always go dead on me, and like a year, what do you recommend as far as soldering iron? Do you use the console with a heat gun I’d appreciate some help because I needed to get a new one so bad and I just don’t wanna waste another hundred dollars again
have any pictures of the layout?
I Steve! I just started watching you doing repairs a couple weeks ago. I am fascinated and love electronics I just don’t have a lot of education. When I was younger, I used to solder towers, now I’m 50 and collect gaming systems. I would like to sort out how to repair anything electronics right now I have started a project working on a coleco, modding RF to composite rca. Installing ground controller parts that sort of thing. My question is what kind of education do you have? How much will i need to “study” to keep up or will learning basic component identifying and watching lots of videos
Very inspirational🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💯💯
Great video. Wanted to know if you are able to fix video game bugs or just physical breaks? And if you don’t do you know anyone that does?
Another garage guy. Joke. Nice man.
Bitter.
It's thanks to you, Steve, and My Mate Vince I got into repairing stuff, gaining more confidence and experience with for example a soldering iron I started to repair and mod video game consoles and now been selling a bunch of old consoles for some nice juicy profits. I'm still doing this for a hobby and never really intend to make it into a business. It's nice to do something I love for a hobby ánd bringing in some money while doing so. Thanks, Steve <3
Hello steve, im actually pretty young and im just asking if i could already start training but most importantly if i can start buying broken things from ebay or any other website and then repairing it and selling it just to get some pocket money. Btw im pretty busy bc of school but i can mostly do things friday and on vacation.
Steves videos are very good to learn from, I watched one and was able to get a Xbox one x to work. I was walking home, person was tossing it and a 65 inch Google tv. A friend brought them over for me, I got both working, I even put “ the right amount of thermal paste on!! As for tv, I spent 16 for a board, works
That worked out great, I work on computers a lot. I fix all sorts of things, I saw a video you were in “ the man who can fix anything “. Fredrick
I really love the tour video! It is quite the setup and looks really cool in the video shown. I have watched quite a few of your videos and have really enjoyed being able to see the scope of your business going from startup to where it is now. Out of curiosity, do you know how much time it took for you to progress from being just a solo businessman doing repairs to feeling like it was too much to do that and shipping, and hiring out your mother-in-law to help out with shipping? Thanks!
What kind of game/dvd buffer or game repairer do you recommend that isn’t crazy high?
Wow that’s impressive for what you doing start growing to better living of life for repair shop.. your video is amazing
Hey Steve, thanks for the great videos. Been following your repair channel for years and have learnt to fix and forward all kind of electronics thanks! I think this business channel is really cool and would love to see more content of how you make repairs and additions etc to generate more income.🙏👍 Would be fantastic if you take us on the journey of making income from youtube and how to secure and negotitate with affiliates and sponsors as the channel grows and what to look out for etc.. 🙏
Just found this channel today. Really enjoyed the video and look forward to any more thst you post!
Brush hog gonna do some work!
Since it is now June 2023, I hope your property held up after the snow and rain we have had this year. Nice chunk o' land!
Are you Tronicsfix?
Your story sounds a lot like mine. I also started my iPhone repair business by buying stuff from Goodwill and reselling on eBay. Then I noticed repairing phones was much more profitable than running around town trying to find stuff to buy & resell. Thanks for sharing!
Dude you should rock that cowboy hat on your main channel lol.
That a real success story!!! You have all my respect man 🙏🏻
Love your story
i love the fact i randomly stumbled on this channel, been watching tronicsfix for a while now and to see this channel was great to see a bit of behind the scenes, maybe we could get a new studio tour and an update video here? would be great to see where things are now, just wanted to also say congrats you worked hard to get where you are and your smashing it.
Unless you want to work at DKOldies as a suggestion is that you must try cleaning inside and out, refurbishing and repairing game consoles and their controllers. I noticed many unhappy dissatisfied people felt DKOldies ripped them off with such lies. Please try your best is that I know you are truthful, loyal, and honest making sure you know how to do them professionally, including cleaning all game console insides with isopropyl alcohol.
Hey man! Super interested in your backstory and how you got into fixing electronics. I’m getting into entry level IT work and while I’m working I want to gain experience physically working on consoles/electronics. Something to do as a side hustle. Thanks! Keep up the great work!
I hope your career plan going well.
>Broken Microwaves Jesus Christ, be careful doing that.
How do I make my business not appear amateur I get the felling that people trust the big shops more than me. I thought that lowering the prices in the beginning could help more . Thanks in advance !
I always wanted to do this when watching repair videos on consoles cuz it just seems like so much fun
Ive been doing thinking about setting up shop and do this in my country theres nothing like this yet and i see alote of potential as so mant have loud consoles and other problems that need teardown.
We all know the real truth, you just applied the perfect amount of thermal paste!
Great video straight to the point thank you!!
This still in Oregon?
Just came upon this, and I've been looking at starting my own side gig restoring and flipping old gaming consoles to help me through university, namely gameboys and other classic handhelds but other classic consoles are cool too. I hold a particular attachment to consoles from the mid 90s to 2010 or so as I grew up with them. I'd even love to learn to code my own games for them. I'm really eager to see how I can use my 3D printers and CNC machine to help make some crazy cool customized gameboys. Working with circuit boards is also very fascinating to me. However I also know Nintendo especially can be nasty with people tampering with their consoles for profit... What would your advice be?
do you know a guy named tronicsfix
Hi sorry do you have may be a full systematic course on how to repair consoles that may be understood by a person with no skill at all to become a pro
Nice story, How can I learn to fix any console? I have ordered a broken ps4 with no didplay screen. Hope I can fix it😊
I know someone may have ask this one already, and this video is old, but I do have one question. Do you find RUclips also helped with your success? Do you think it gave people that medium to see your work and give them more trust? Very inspiring to find this video. I watch you’re other channel frequently.
What console repair courses online do you recommend?
