I now have an online store where I sell replacement parts and components, as well as some of the items I fix in my videos. Please check it out over at www.consolefix.shop
Do u have any ps4 slim power supplys
I can watch soldering all night. Fixing a cheap broken console for yourself makes owning it all the sweeter. Great video.
Thanks bud, yeah definitely feels good when you want one for yourself
Cheap? For 250 euro you buy a werking x box x. Morons destroying the market cutting your own fingers.
@@zomaardan And have my games run at 30fps. Nah im good
"cheap"
This is probably been the best tear down commentary I've ever heard. Explained everything extremely well and it made sense 👍
Well done, man !! I was holding my breath for the final switch on. You inspire me to be better at giving things a try, thanks for the vidoes/streams
haha cheers mate, I appreciate that ;)
Hey everyone. I hope you enjoy the video. I did film the outro on my camera's SD card but it became corrupt. Lucky I had a backup on OBS but face tracking was turned on. Sorry about that 😕😁
I don’t think we should let you get away with that kind of behaviour. :D
@@marcianzero_yt haha sue me 🤣
@@TheCod3r I‘ll consider to get some crowdfunding for doing that. (Because nobody has anything better to do in life. ;) )
Jokes aside, I appreciate your content.
@@marcianzero_yt haha make sure you send me a link, I'll pop a little in your pocket 🤣 thanks mate, much appreciated
How did they break what did you do with the Xbox Series x ??
As soon as you zoomed in on the back of that HDMI port I knew it was the problem. Good job on fixing this and welcome to the club of Series X ownership! 👍
I get so many consoles into my store with destroyed HDMI ports, mostly PS4s and 5s, but about 20% xboxes too and switches for their usbc ports. People are just so damn rough these days, or they've never seen what happens when you move a running system.
Still, not as bad as the ppl who bring their phones in every 2-3 months with screens that got smashed in exactly the same way every time.
Awesome job, it's always satisfying to see a repair that brings electronics back to life and get a second chance. Most people will give up and just chuck it and sometimes it just needs a little tlc to get it back working.
Wasn't that bad i spected way worse from a previous repair attempt, you saved an amazing console from going to the landfill and you can use it and enjoy it
Yeah it does feel good on that one, works great now too
@@TheCod3r If the listing didn't mention a prior repair attempt, and the pics showed the warranty sticker intact, that's a bit deceitful?
I'd have pushed for an extra £30 or so off with the seller.
Good vid 👌
@@stuartburns8657 I wonder if the seller was the prior repair shop. Imagine them telling the customer its trash and it needs recycled then selling it on eBay
@@jasonlane4851 perhaps yes
@@stuartburns8657 the fact that the posting was deceitful. If the buyer wanted to report it to eBay and PayPal he would get a full refund and get to keep the console
Nice video phil great to see you finally got a series x for retail price and what makes it even better is you fixed it and you put on the perfect amount of thermal paste😅 keep uo the incredible work
haha thanks mate, definitely worth the investment
Great work man, very skilled and knowledgeable, someone else obviously tried and gave up on it, their loss is your gain 💪
It's nice watching these videos only stumbled on them recently especially given how people just throw things away now days I've tried a couple of fixes unsuccessfully but the learning is worth it for next time
RUclips suggestion algorithm comes through again! First time watching, excellent video and I feel like I learned a good bit as well! Subbed :)
Awesome man, glad youtube finally realizes I'm trying hard lol. Good to have you here bud
Same here
This is great man just found you randomly. I know almost nothing about electronics but managed to diagnose repair a broken solder on the start button on my microwave with a similar process a while ago and it was so satisfying! Reminded me of the buzz you must have felt turning on the Xbox
Thanks buddy, yeah it's an awesome feeling seeing it work again
When you work on something yourself you tend to appreciate it even more, great video and bravissimo.
I don’t know how I got here but very cool. The engineering and design of these products is insane. And the fact you can identify the problem and fix it is very cool.
The engineering is cool on the Series X. The split board and the way they did the cooling is nice.
Yet another fantastic video Phil mate well worth watching
Don’t know how,but for some unknown reason,one of your videos popped up in my recommendations…that was a few hours ago. 😂 I’ve watched a few since then.
Fantastic channel and great to hear a English voice for a change. The bonus i,you do repairs for us the public,so now you are a top of a very short list when it comes to needing repairs. Keep up the amazing content and yes,I’m most definitely subscribed 👍
I find it so cool how you've learnt the knowledge that is so useful and lets you get a nice trade off of being able to get cheap consoles and able to fix them for a well earned reward for all the time you have put in on learning this stuff
After turning the power on and off a few times, I never once had a scooby what was going on, lol. But I was enthralled throughout. The fluxy bits were my favourite. Kinda trippy.
Keep on truckin', brother. Subbed.
Hope you always stay healthy and happy, cos this world needs people like you for fixing video game consoles which gets abandoned by it's very own manufacturing companies.
Now that’s a proper fix! And a cheap next gen console is yours. Just need to replace that missing metal plate. Can’t believe how many repairers break traces and remove shields and don’t put them back.
Thanks buddy, yeah as soon as I come across one being sold I think I'll snap it up just so I can put it back. It's super annoying what some people do though
nice work! And congrats to your new XBox SeriesX :)
This is hard-core. Best RUclips channel out there. Must follow.
I know nothing for myself but watch quite a few people repair electronics on RUclips and I was very impressed with the soldering.
I'm speechless. What an amazing work 👏
Thanks mate 😁
@@TheCod3r will have to watch the full video later when I get home. But I saw what you did.
Really good job explaining how to use the jump wire and then test the trace from the jumped pin, made complete sense.
Hellooo, came across your channel last week and now find myself constantly watching your videos :-) must say your best I have seen on youtube, you talk through everything which helps so much - other youtubers dont like to show it all and keep things a secret. Can i ask which copper wire you used on that track repair please?
First of all let me thank you for this video. I came across it by chance and i couldn't stop watching. I have always admired people that build. Always a joy to watch skills at work . You have one more subscriber.🙌
Thank you 😊 really appreciate the kindness and support
😍 Yr vids. As life long repairer (take apart - check board fuse - put back together - have screws left over - hope that by some magic my inspection has fixed it - power on - nothing - throw in bin). Watching your skills we feel the same "fixed it" buzz. The high timber of your voice & repetition is good for us oldies or for those dip into or skip ahead in your vids.
Thank you mate. Yep to be fair I've had my fair share of "oh damn I have a couple of screws left" lol. Glad you find the videos useful mate, makes it worth it :)
Nice one mate, this was the problem with mine also I just got it fixed up works perfectly,
Keep at it 🔥🔥
This guy's looks like he could fix anything electronic. Subscribed
Great job man! That’s gotta be a good feeling bringing it back to life for so cheap!
That was a legitimate quality repair. Kudos for the repair
Well done - a nice neat job, and good to see electronics being repaired rather than going into land-fill. My one criticism, which I hope you take constructively rather than seeing it negatively is to get a bit more confident with the soldering - your technique is good but you don't trust the result and uneccesarily go over and over the joints. One or two fairly quick passes across a line of pins should be plenty - the professional assembly line workers hand solder all the pins of a 50 pin PTH connector in about one second! Repeated passes carries the risk of lifting the pads, and from what I could see it was all fine after your second pass on the SMD pads of that HDMI connector (and a "flick" at the end would have done it perfectly on the first pass - you only needed to get rid of the bridge on the last two pins, not go over the whole line again and again). For the mounting PTH pins connected to the heat-sucking ground plane, use a hotter iron with a chunky tip and it will fill those holes with a single soldering operation from one side of the board only in about 2 seconds, and no need to "finish" with a hot air gun (which could have caused the connector pins to become unsoldered). Every heat/cool cycle risks lifting traces, delaminating layers and doing other damage.
As a tip, baking the whole board for a few hours before doing any hotair gun work will prevent possible damage caused by moisture flash-boiling under or inside the components ("popcorning"), delaminating or bubbling the board layers or interfering with getting a good solder joint. I'd routinely leave boards and/or unsealed replacement components baking overnight, after which it's good to work on for the following week at least. Plastic connectors etc. will not be damaged if you keep the oven temperature down to less than 120 deg C, no matter how long they are in the oven, though check if there are any low melting point materials on the board (some RF equipment such as radios & TVs use wax to seal variable inductor cores). I've worked in the electronics industry for over 40 years, so do have some experience.
Cheers mate. I do wholly agree about confidence. Personally I know the job is going to be good but I like to be in a habit of checking over my work just because it's a good habit to have. You're 💯 right though usually one or two passes with the drag method will suffice for most jobs
Nice fix. Love the merch mug on show. Great to see support between fixers 👍👏
Thank you 😊 yep I grabbed 3 from you guys a few weeks ago, they're fantastic quality 😁
@@TheCod3r let us know if you want your own for your channel, happy to help you with your own merch.
@@DeanJones_Author that sounds awesome, problem is I have no clue what to put on them lol
@@TheCod3r I'm sure we could come up with something. Get in touch via our website and we can discuss
@@DeanJones_Author no worries, I'll drop you a message tomorrow and we can see what kind of slogans we could use 😉
Confident in your work, to completely assemble before testing . Awesome!!.. But your X bracket was put in wrong🧐.. nice work as usual.
Clean work man, well done.
always love watching your video's
you are not cheep person you are wise one
Great result, I know nothing about fixing things but was hooked as soon as I started watching you. I think you came across brilliantly on the video and would love to have the skills you have. Impressive!🎮👾, have fun on ya new X box.
Only just discovered your channel and have to say that watching this repair was cathartic. You make it look way easier than I find it lol. Congrats on getting your new toy sorted :-)
It's always hard to find what is wrong - soldering and repairing is easy.
The way you speak your thoughts pertaining to what you are doing and why is awesome. Thanks for an awesome walkthrough, subbed and look forward to looking at your other projects. TBH with the quality of information you put into your video along with the magnified view, it wouldn't even matter to me if you weren't successful fixing it. I still would of subbed. Heck I don't even have an xbox that needs fixing or plan to get one and I subbed.
Great job! Well done big win there buddy! 👌🏻👌🏻
It was a pleasure watching you work
Sir I really enjoy all of your videos keep up the best content on RUclips
Gratz on the upgarde, enjoy :D
Thanks mate, I sure am enjoying it 😀
Congrats on your next gen console man!!
You’re much chill than _BenHeck_ and much younger!
Finally you got the _Tower of Power_ !! Good deal @$360 bucks. You saved that console from E-waste.
Thanks man, Ben is a sub actually which I'm honored to have, he's a legend
Great vid. Found it very interesting to watch. I'd never have the confidence to take a part a console like that. Most i've ever done was some basic repairs and mods to standard xbox controllers
Happy for you mate, welcome to next GEN 😀😀😀😀
Love this kind of stuff! Nice one mate looks brilliant. Always had an interest in these kind of repairs and I found your video very easy to learn from 👍🏻. Also you sound like your from the Midlands like me?
Love your videos! Not sure I would have confidence to spec that kind of dough on an eBay Xbox lol but then again, you do have the skills of a ninja and the patience of a saint.
Another therapeutic video Phil, nice fix.
Just bought my first faulty console from ebay to take a crack at a repair, a £20 PS2 slim. Listed as “the red light on the power button doesnt turn green when pressed”. Initial thoughts go to the little switch thats on the board behind the power button if you take the top cover off. And i was right, as soon as i took the top cover off, that little switch fell off. Hows that for my first go eh?? Lol
haha not bad, and a pretty nice win there mate. The PS2 still fetches a decent bit of change ;)
Sometimes we luck out.
I've been buying a few 'non working' N64s from ebay recently. The majority are just missing their jumper packs but thats not something I'd expect the thrift and pawn stores they get given and sold to will ever check. A $15 jumper pack or ram pack (a LOT more expensive) and they're good as new.
If you can’t stand the customers anymore: I can see the next Phil Collins in coming 👍🏻😊
Thanks for your videos phil, it’s always relaxing, watching your repair stuff
Your repair work is so impressive. I'm good, but I hope I get on your level here in the near future. 🙌
New to your channel, super vlog loved the vlog where you repaired a damaged console from TronicsFix, i will be looking at all your vlogs Paul
Really enjoyed watching this! Inspired me to try and fix more of my own electronics!
This was fun and therapeutic to watch even though I didn't have a clue what you was doing but good job mate
Really enjoyed that, great save! Thank you.
Great work friend 👏 👍. Just found your channel. Looking forward to seeing more future content 😀 🙌 😊
Subbed! I have got an atari jaguar that doesn't switch on,I may get in touch about that in the next month matey
Hey I don't know if you answered this before, but how long have you been repairing electronics and where did you learned all you know? everytime I see you fixing craps I get more and more impressed by your skillset
its called practice mate id get started
It’s amazing how much better engineered this is vs the PS, master piece and much smaller than a surfboard…🎉
Great fix man. Got yourself a bargain. With Game Pass you'll be playing forever!!!!
Cheers mate, to be honest I think gamepass is a bit of a rip off, but I do play a bit of call of duty
Amazing to watch, 1st time viewer & am going to watch more & subscribe
Been a while since Ive watched a fix from my favorite tech fixing RUclipsr…hello philbert
Haha cheers buddy, glad you returned 😁
Nicely done, talented fellow, thanks for showing.
I love watching an artist at work
Brilliant, so pleased you got it working.
series X and using the xbox one controller like a real G, awesome vid!
What is this kind of work called? it’s very interesting how all these ports work and how you can actually open up and repair something that needs to be fixed well done 👏
Awesome ! Your skill level makes this looks so easy, if i ever attempt this type of repair ill just destroy the board :) I really enjoy watching your work!
Thank you mate. All it takes is practice though ;)
@@TheCod3r everyone can learn to drive a car, but not everyone will become F1 driver. This is why we are here watching you , keep the awesome work up and enjoy that Xbox :)
@@BalkansWay that's very very true. Well everyone except my ex girlfriend, she failed 9 driving tests 🤣
@@TheCod3r 🤣🤣🤣
You’re a bloody genius. Subbed and I don’t even game.
great job and a great video well done bud
That was so satisfying to watch. I need a hotter soldering iron.
Lucky score there... you've encouraged me to start looking for spares or repairs series x again... can't say I like that flux doing that tho. Also try the RS solder sucker you can replace the seals and nozzles, I've had the same one since colleage, a good 25 years or so....
Yeah definitely a good score. To be honest the flux only does that because I run my iron at 450⁰C constantly so it's a little too hot, if I run it at 400⁰C the flux doesn't really melt
Hi pal love your videos quick question what soldiering tips do you use and where can I get some.
Great work Phil as always, welcome to the next gen console world.
Great video was a fantastic job glad you got the console working and upgraded to next gen 👍
Stupid question: would the Xbox still display at 4K 120Hz with the jumper wire you attached?
I don’t know how those things work.
Excellent video and superb repair I was just wondering did you use a new hdmi 2.1 port and a hdmi 2.1 cable
Physically hdmi 2.1 uses the same connector as previous versions of hdmi, it was only a change to the protocol enabling new features and a new cable standard that allows higher throughput - as I understand it.
Beauty! Great find :) Nice work!
Superb work saved a fair bit of money over buying a new one as well
Great work mate ! Great repair as always 👍🏻
That’s some fantastic work! 🙌🏼😎
You have way too much fun doing this job
Haha you've got to enjoy what you do 😁
@@TheCod3r 😂 love the singing. I’d love to do your job but I can’t solder hdmi ports and I don’t trust myself on other peoples things
enjoyed watching you work , I've subscribed and am looking forward to seeing more
Love the videos, but have to ask... you from the west mids? I get super excited when I see people from my neck of the woods
Thanks mate. Yeah I'm from Willenhall lol
@@TheCod3r that's awesome brummie boy myself though I reside in Staffordshire now. Have to send my xbox original to you! I'm buggered if I know what's wrong with it!!
Happy 4 you fella
Well done 👏
Great fix man, happy gaming! Glad to see your an Xbox man!
Man you need a flux sponsor 😂 flowing like a river. I dont use so much but i also like not having to pull components out of a flux puddle 😂😂 good job mate, i would have just jumper wired from hdmi to chip but im lazy 😂
Nice repair mate and I hope you enjoy gaming on your new Series X
I have a xbox one x just sitting there for 12 months hardly been used and I know the hdmi port is bad as everything works apart from display but I just don't know where to take it to get it fixed and the cost of the repair.. Great video my friend
I can't belive how hooked i was on that video.
Get in yea Beauty,Phil Fixes Again 🤪
Good deal coder! Enjoy those new games buddy!
Cheers mate, I sure will lol
Micro fiber cloth causes a lot more damage to any surface (compared to a cotton cloth for example) as long as it's not wet. IPA does not help a lot with this. Never ever use micro fiber cloth without water! It scratches anything!
Nice one always so satisfying to fix something especially when it's a latest gen console
Good job brother! Always good to get a win! Do you have any videos on reballing the playstation 4 APU by hand? Thanks!
Thanks bud. Yeah here's one, I transferred the apu to another console but it's the same process just with less chips to work with
