Yep, it's the new guy, Robert, again! Steve will still be making his normal Friday videos (Although this Fridays' video is a little different). We're just adding more videos to the channel. Hope you enjoy!
Sometimes things change. Voice sounds good. Video quality good like we already knew. Good work. He is also fixing stuff and this is what counts 👍. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
These are great, but I would have liked to see more of the cleaning process. Not just a few parts, all of them. Love that you guys are trying new things and keeping it fresh! Literally... 😅
To be fair, if something doesn't require cleaning, there's no need to clean it. and I doubt anyone wants to watch small stuff get cleaned.(aka fingerprints, etc)
The fact you've added the commentary with opinions, little tips and flaws you had through the process helped to stand it out so much. and while I understand the reasoning behind it, to distinguish these vids from the others use yourself in the thumbnails. I get a kick out of seeing something so neglected getting restored so I will watch regardless and it's just a matter of time and repetition of being comfortable doing these that the rough edges are going to get ironed out, so it's going to be great to see how these progress over time. I kind of look forward to the first two parter where something needs fixing, but is also in dire need of a clean. in Steve's video its almost instant, but your video gets to expose all the nastiness within.
one thing i like about steve's vids on the channel is the live commentary rather than the voiceover not sure if that can be applied here, but good stuff! im with rob i like to polish it all too
Been here from the days Steve used to use his brown wooden table if I remember properly, great episode just don't lose the content that brought everyone here, cleaning and restoration videos are everywhere...
Thanks for this video! Just bought a new 3ds xl on ebay, this helped remind me to make sure it's clean when it arrives. Hope to see more videos with you hosting!
I love seeing restoration videos and expanding your channel. Only feedback would be to make it your own. Bring your style and energy to these videos. Seems a lot like the other popular restoration video channel on RUclips.
I enjoyed the narration. ASMR cleaning, like the last video, is nice, but I think showing a bit of personality while cleaning is part of what makes this channel work. At least for me. Great video.
I would love to see more of this content, I'm personally thinking about getting a pre-owned 3ds xl but I'm always worried about the internal condition of the console. Great video!
Love it! Having more videos on teardown, cleaning, refurbishing (as well as the repairs) is great to see. Good to see the transparency about any mistakes made. Would also like to keep seeing any steps used to fix them if the ever happen. I was wrestling with a New 2DS XL over the weekend. Could only bring myself to teardown the lower half for deep cleaning. The rest got a dry bath in 99% Isopropyl alcohol and some lightly damp gauze. Those 3DS ribbon cables and tiny hole in the hinge drama is just too much 😂. And some of those connectors seem way too flimsy. Lucky nothing broke on me! Have a CUH-1116a PS4 that sounds like a jet engine to refurb next. Your channel's videos really help me gain my bearings without the need to dig around the obscure corners of the internet for an official service manual.
Good cleaning/refurbish video. You are more subdued in your videos than we are used to, but once you get more comfortable with doing them, I think you will be a very valuable addition to this channel. You've already done 1 good video, so you can only get better as you go along.
Hi Robert ! Your type of videos (as opposed to Steve's) are very familiar to me. His are too but what I mean is that I used to manage a computer shop in the early 2000's. Every so often, we would get people who would drop off their computers. I'd fix them and call for them to be picked up but they would never come pay for the machines, they'd abandon them. After much communication (voice mails), my boss would allow me to take the machines apart and recover any parts we had installed. So we had a bunch of half fixed PCs cluttering the shelves. What I did was take all the systems, clean out the nicotine, bugs and food crumbs/soda drips, take the best combination of case, MB/CPU/RAM and make a Frankenstein PC. I'd use old cast off sound cards, NICs, video cards and then sell these as "used" systems. The cases and cards that I couldn't use I sold individually. We made several hundred dollars off of this.
Can you do some cleaning product comparisons (like contact cleaners vs alcohol) along with what harms the typical game console plastic? Like the broken xbox series x, cut it up and soak it different solutions for 24 hrs. Do the same for the rubber pieces too. Kind of like a Project Farm video but for the tech side of things.
As long as this guy says the magic word over here I'm fine with having a fresh new face on the channel. (By the way for all the new people the magic word is The perfect amount of Thermo Paste)
Like the content. Good stuff. That white spec would drive me nuts though. Of course we enjoy Steve, but I'm sure Steve needs a break sometimes and this gives others a chance to show what they can do.
Since we are doing alternate content, can we get videos detailing more on soldering/rework in terms of temps, timing, air flow, settings, techniques for various equipment? I struggle with hot air station and not melting surrounding components. Not much content on that stuff out there.
Aww bummer about that white spec! I think if I had to, I could probably handle this tear down - except for that top screen! Getting that ribbon cable twirled up enough to safely pass it through the ring looks too stressful. 😱
I personally have no problem with a new guy.. but I can watch other restoration videos all day every day.. I just really like Steve and that's why I watch his channel. And I promise I'm not trying to be mean or hurt anyone's feelings.
This was great. As much as I love Steve's videos, I really do like to see the cleaning / restoring part too. These will be a great addition to the channel.
Wow ur good Robert ..I tried to follow you but lost you when u got to the motherboard and lost you even more wen u started to put everything back together 😂..very impressive
I don't mind the fact that there's a new person on the channel, but please keep the editing style the same as the normal videos. It's the editing and the personality that keeps me coming back. Basically I didn't like the music
I might be ok with this if he wears a Steve mask and says 'The perfect amount of cleaning'! But really can't wait to see more deep cleaning of some nasty systems. I suggest a neat channel spasific brush or custom cleaning tool thats a reflection of your channel. Or ya know just stir it with your finger, ya know what ever you want.
Thank you for the great content. Some constructive criticism if that's OK. I think it would be a more satisfying video without the narration but words on screen instead.
Hey Robert! Nice to see you in your TronicsFix debut/reveal! I look forward to seeing more of your style and videos! I also wanted to throw out the channel name of Wristwatch Revival who you remind me of. They are excellent at sharing a passion for restoration and attention to detail with the audience. I get the same feel from you! Every console has a story and almost always an inner kid who played the heck out of it. I would like to hear you share your passion for video game consoles and what it means to revive play and that inner-child for people of all ages.
@@Tronicsfix it was nicely done. Always good to see somebody new that's passionate in the same subjects. The cleaning stuff is always fun. I would love to see you guys do a few episodes on using retrobrite applications in order to get rid of the yellowing of plastic.
Yep, it's the new guy, Robert, again! Steve will still be making his normal Friday videos (Although this Fridays' video is a little different). We're just adding more videos to the channel. Hope you enjoy!
Noo I can’t believe it, he was the best repair guy that tought me to learn I hope I see him again.
@@NickDoesPositiveThings You can't believe what?
Sometimes things change. Voice sounds good. Video quality good like we already knew. Good work.
He is also fixing stuff and this is what counts 👍.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
@@alexhunter0815 The only thing changing is that we're adding more videos and another host to the channel. Steve is still making his normal videos.
@@Tronicsfix ok yeah I loved the part of him fixing a switch that was water damaged and that was back in 2020 in September, what my great memories
These are great, but I would have liked to see more of the cleaning process. Not just a few parts, all of them. Love that you guys are trying new things and keeping it fresh! Literally... 😅
To be fair, if something doesn't require cleaning, there's no need to clean it. and I doubt anyone wants to watch small stuff get cleaned.(aka fingerprints, etc)
This is great content!! I'm happy to keep seeing both types of videos with both of you guys!
Glad you enjoy it!
I'm here for this content as well! Throw them in as often as you can.
I don't think I could live with the white speck on the screen, it would drive me nuts. Possibly more than the sticky buttons.
Damn, Steve must've levelled up and got a new skin.
Ha, ha!
The amount of satisfaction I get from a good cleaning like this is almost embarrassing 😂 Needless to say, I'm def into watching more of these!

Dig these restoration as well as repair videos. Disassembly/reassembly instruction is always appreciated as well.
Yes. More of this please. I really enjoyed this, along with the commentary and explanations.
Thanks for this video! Just bought a new 3ds xl on ebay, this helped remind me to make sure it's clean when it arrives. Hope to see more videos with you hosting!
More videos is always a good thing. Great job Robert! I like the idea of making roughed up tech look new again. Keep them coming 😊

Robert is really good at mario kart. I enjoy very much these repair style videos
Great adjustment to the new content. I like this.
Skills in restoring and playing, keep up the good work.
Thanks for listening to us and adding commentary as well!!! Great to actually see and hear Robert! :D
Fantastic video. Professional cleaning. Though I think that white speck in the screen would drive me crazy 😂
I think it would be cool to see this cleaning combined with his fixing videos so you get an all in one...
Awesome to see the channel growing! Best of luck Robert.
I'm liking this new restoration content, more lengthy videos are welcome! Great work on the 3DS.
Good cleaning/refurbish video. You are more subdued in your videos than we are used to, but once you get more comfortable with doing them, I think you will be a very valuable addition to this channel. You've already done 1 good video, so you can only get better as you go along.
Love the deep clean, keep up the good job 😊
A job that exceeds excellence. Sincere congratulations Robert. Thank you very much for sharing. All the best.
Good luck , Robert!
Love to see more console and other electronics repair/restoration stuff
Heavy Odd Tinkering channel vibes for me. I love it.

yoooo new guy, that's awesome 😎👊
this video also reminds me of odd thinkering restoration videos 🤔
Love the new addition to the team
Hey thanks!
Who Is this Imposter!!!!!
Seriously welcome to the channel and I look forward to more great fixes.
Very much enjoy and would like more of this. Would love a teardown and cleaning video for an xbox controller (360 and above) Thanks!

So satisfying!!! Loved the vídeo!!!

He's still in training on that! Lol

Good stuff man looking for the next 😊😊😊
Ah yes the perfect amount of Robert. Great job!
Love seeing new faces! Keep up the good work, guys!!!
So we’re adding videos, not replacing? Good. I’m really used to Tronfix’s voice and demeanor
Love this new dude. Great addition to the channel! Looking forward to the new content
Keep up the good work and have fun
Good job! Look´s like the battery is swollen?
Welcome Robert!

I struggle with hot air station and not melting surrounding components. Not much content on that stuff out there.
Loved it! More content the better!
Disgusting inside aside, that galaxy plate is gorgeous. Wonder if I can find it as a standalone plate swap for my new 3ds xl.
Thought I'm in the wrong channel. Saying hi to the new face.
Same channel but new guy with a different kind of video. Steve will still be in Fridays video and he'll still be making his normal videos.
@@Tronicsfix that's awesome, means more fix-gasms for everyone, kudos to team TronicsFix.
Hey Robert Sir
You had another vid not to long ago
And you also do great work
i just bought a new 3ds ll from japan and i can't wait to get it!!!
Wow, nice! These are such cool consoles. Wish they still made them.
Aww bummer about that white spec! I think if I had to, I could probably handle this tear down - except for that top screen! Getting that ribbon cable twirled up enough to safely pass it through the ring looks too stressful. 😱
Have I drifted into an alternate universe? Where's Steve? Help
Jokes aside though, looking forward to seeing even more videos from Robert
Great work! Great video!
Glad you liked it!
wtf. why the dislikes? Robert you're doing a great job. F the haters
I personally have no problem with a new guy.. but I can watch other restoration videos all day every day.. I just really like Steve and that's why I watch his channel. And I promise I'm not trying to be mean or hurt anyone's feelings.
Hey nice video Robert!
Looking forward to the next one !
This was great. As much as I love Steve's videos, I really do like to see the cleaning / restoring part too. These will be a great addition to the channel.
Enjoyed the relaxing music and the commentary
Glad you enjoyed it
DK oldies having a heart attack
Ha, ha!
Love it! Glad to have more content! Great job, Robert!
Actually, yes, I myself would like more of these restorations! Go ahead and make more! I look forward to whatever is next! Keep it up!
All that trouble to clean, and at the end I can only look at that white dot in the center of the play screen... That would drive me insane.
Cleaning disgusting consoles is very nice. Good series
For Steve, press 1
Lol

Really awesome to be changing some stuff up! We welcome you Robert with open arms here. Great job on this video
Wow ur good Robert ..I tried to follow you but lost you when u got to the motherboard and lost you even more wen u started to put everything back together 😂..very impressive
I don't mind the fact that there's a new person on the channel, but please keep the editing style the same as the normal videos. It's the editing and the personality that keeps me coming back. Basically I didn't like the music
the 3ds's top screen is always a nightmare to repair. couldn't they think of a better idea to route the cables?
Thanks, I enjoyed the video! But, man, that white speck in the screen would drive me crazy!
That white speck... It's killing me. Is the top screen's lens removable? I would peel that in a heartbeat to clean underneath.
I might be ok with this if he wears a Steve mask and says 'The perfect amount of cleaning'! But really can't wait to see more deep cleaning of some nasty systems. I suggest a neat channel spasific brush or custom cleaning tool thats a reflection of your channel. Or ya know just stir it with your finger, ya know what ever you want.
I like this Rob!
Where is Tronic?
That white spot on the screen would drive me crazy. 😆
Bro, Cool video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
Always get stoked seeing new people in big channels. It’s a sign of growth or change!
Glad to enjoy this video maybe you can do a video together like have Steve do the repair then have this guy do the cleaning
Galaxy style, huh? Nice. 👀
These are such cool 3DS's
I actually got one recently! tysm!
Lucky! These are getting expensive these days.
I literally worked on the exact same Galaxy 3DS the other day!
Nice! These are so cool!
Soda pop. What part of the Midwest are from Robert?
some people will complain, but all i see is growth, and that’s all i ever wanted for Steve, his channel, and his family. welcome aboard!
Hi Robert. Very satisfying video 😌 looking forward to the next video with you
That tiny white speck would kill me. OCD not having it lol.
Two video formats for me from the same channel??? 🎉😊🍻👍
Thank you for the great content. Some constructive criticism if that's OK. I think it would be a more satisfying video without the narration but words on screen instead.
Noooooooooooo
oh so that was you cleaning the gameboy too?
I have the same exact galaxy new 3ds I absolutely love it

That damn ribbon cable of the upper screen is the reason cause i never fix a nintendo dual screen console, i just hate them too much.
Hmm...
Explanation accepted. Now to view...
Hope you enjoy!

Wait steve bro you got a new haircut and beard ☠️
Lol

That's a beautiful Galaxy 3DS. I wanna buy it. 😅
