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
This is why right to repair is so important. Saving electronic equipment from the landfill should be a priority. Re-using components and reducing the amount of e-waste is critical to a cleaner future.
Dump refused to let me buy a CRT citing environmental concerns... they sell TVs, but not CRTs... they're disposing of it... so I could buy a new TV... that will cause pollution... that they want to stop. Commifornia (thrift stores no longer sell CRTs).
I completely agree. The problem is recycling requires substantial resources whether it is energy, money, or both and in most cases it is cheaper to dispose of something, source new materials, build anew, and sell new than it is to repair or recycle. Until that dynamic changes, we live in a throw away world.
yeah and now you cant replace the cpu on laptops and some desktops now days and the gpu if they have one and its just cause more e waste cause you cant repair it. i got to my local recycle cent and try saving any thing i can that can be used or fixed
That flux is like magic stopping th solder from going where it's not supposed to go . Genius. I suffer with anxiety and depression disorder . Watching you work is helping a lot.
Love your work Phil, I think your a great technician. I like how you explain everything, it makes it easier for me/everyone to understand. (English, Yorkshire fan)
Great video, I'll never forget my sons face 5 years ago when I got him a second hand broken ps4 that had been dropped from height. Managed to fix it and only cost £30 off gumtree. (Couldn't afford a new one at time) - spent an evening on it and got it working, his face as it fired up and got working was brilliant. Still going to this day 👌
PS4s in the trash just blows my mind. Even as a kid I wanted to keep my damaged electronics but some people just don't care. The slightest issue and they'll toss it, not even sell it for parts. One guy on RUclips smashed his Xbox Series S (not the new X) because it was giving him errors that are easily fixed. When told in the comments he says he didn't care. He didn't do it for the clout or attention and he wasn't some massive RUclipsr. He was just some 20-ish year old dude that would rather smash his $400 device on the concrete than, I dunno, Google for a fix for 5 seconds. Anyway, a free PS4 is a free PS4 and a parts board is always welcome. Good haul and work. I used to scrap and never foind anything too interesting myself.
That thing is MINT! Man, this is literally the funniest repair video I have seen in ages! Subscribed yesterday after the tronicsfix repair and this is the next video I watch from you. Can not get better! I love it. Best from Germany!
Just discovered your channel and what a cracking watch. I'm learning loads. As a guy who grew up in Wednesbury and who's family still live there it's great to hear a yamyam accent. Count me as another subbie. Wednesbury ay I 😁
I know this is 2yrs old but I found an original PS1 in the desert. Its been there for a very long time you could certainly tell it. Ive managed to fix it too, all except the laser which most certainly needs replacing.
I used to work on mining control equipment, sticky residue was the name of the game most days....."why's this electronic device we submerged in water not working?" 🤔🤔🤔 just found you today and loving the channel!
You forgot to blur the name at 59:13 on the top left side where it shows the controller power. If you want to blur this I think there is an option for that over the youtube editor so that you don't need to upload the whole video again.
To be honest I did try and blur it as much as I could see. Sorry I missed that, but that said the person who threw this out should really have removed the hard drive or wiped it. With customers I make sure to block info, but as this was a console thrown out on scrap it wouldn't be breaking any data protection laws as far as I'm aware. I could be wrong though. But that said it's not really that bad, there are probably a thousand people with that same name in the world :)
Bro, life is a learning platform, you learn even more on ocasions where you fail in some way. I am a subscriber to Northridge and Louis' channel and yours 😉 it wasn't nice not to fact check, but it is what it is. Keep up the good work ✌️☕
@TheCod3r Soooo the reason hand sanitizer is diluted to 60 or 70 percent is because of several reasons; in high concentrations it evaporates too quickly to dissolve the protective cell wall in bacteria, or in low concentrations isn't strong enough to destroy it. High concentrations like 99% it can cause scorching to the cell wall causing the bacterial wall to harden to protect itself. Isopropyl alcohol in any concentration will not kill all bacteria and may do nothing against viruses. The magic number seems to be from 60-70 percent which gives the alcohol time to do its work while it dries. Note that 85 percent of all liquid damage phone repairs, are toilette repairs. Users who were literally on the toilette when they dropped it in. Liquid damage could also be a dog urinating on the Playstation too. Sooo the answer is no... @9:45 your hands are not sterile :( You should be wearing gloves.
Don't be too spoiled and make our generation immune system become weaker and weaker because of relying on many sanitizer things. Believe in his immune system only. Watch 70 years old of iran and indian dirt guy They has never bathed and cleaned themself in entire their life. They sometimes eats raw meat, drink dirty water and do smoking. But until now the iran guy is still alive and has never had a serious illness. there are many more stories of humans who have never cleaned themselves since childhood but have never experienced a deadly disease and can live a long life.
@@arik2216 This is a myth. Your immune system becomes weaker by fighting off too many germs and viruses, not by staying away from them through the use of cleanliness.
hey cool videos lad keep it up. i seen u had some trouble getting hdmi to stick, a buddy in a repair shop told me he would tin a little solder on the socket pins as well .. give it a go it might help you out
haha I didn't actually get anything from the repairs. I just gave them back to my brother in law because the revenue from the video far exceeded the value of both consoles lol
Have you ever considered using a spray electrical contact cleaner? It might come in handy for large projects and leaves no residue but does take longer to dry than isopropanol.
Man,you just became my hero, with this much deduction!!!! But,you DO know,you can stuck the case in the dishwasher ???? Oh,and your prononciation is hilarious,but,strangely,I could understand it all!!!
i do sega gamegear repairs - their usually not bad until you get one that is in the condition like those and you have like 50 traces to replace with backlights burnout-- not to mention the full recap lol
Hi Phil for cleaning you can beter use 20% distilled water and 80 procent isopropanol alcohol. You will get better results also for cola residue and so. 100 % procent alcohol you can use for flux. Just a tip. Keep the good movies going. Regards from Steve from belgium
I found two ps4 consoles in the skip, one has a dead psu, and the other has a mashed hdmi port, I'm yet to repair them as they are still fantastic consoles.
Lmao I appreciate that fact that you showed yourself getting buzzzz in by Psu lol I was on the floor happened to me a few times already keep up the great work
Excellent and highly detailed videos mate I have had my 500gb ps4 since it first came out never had a problem with it even when I upgraded my hard drive to 1tb this video made me have a sad lol
Very clever person how did you learn to fix these and other stuff you fix only just subscribed but do like what you done on this video very cool 😎 lol look forwards to more video to come thanks P 👍👍👌👌
Hi Thecod3r , I recently came across your channel, was recommended on homepage. I think because I watch a similar channel, called (my mate vince) anyway, I really enjoy watching these types of videos and I’m always absolutely amazed that a human being, is capable of fixing electronics, to such a high level. I’m 39 now and I remember when I was about 15/16 my PlayStation stopped working and after telling my friends, 2 of them said they could fix it, apparently but tuning the Lens. I was like, wow. Then they told me about disc swapping and that was incredible because now we could buy copied games much cheaper and not have to wait for birthday, Christmas etc. Was you kinda like my friends? Started messing about fixing random stuff? Or maybe your games consoles etc? I’m guessing you went to school to study your craft? I just really love seeing people do stuff that seems impossible to the average person. Oh, I just thought, you may be able to help me out with something, if you see and read this comment . Last summer, I remember turning on my 2 year old tv and it was fine. I went for breakfast, came back and screen was black but with audio and there was a white line, going across the screen. Nothing would make it work as normal.Does this sound familiar to you? If so, is it costly to fix? Do you think it’s possibly worth contacting LG, because maybe they’ll help me out, especially if it’s a cheap repair? Anyway, love the channel and I’m going to check out more of your electronic repairs. 👍
Damn maggits lol. Not maggots them defo maggits Was watching that bottle of isopropyl thinking its gotta go surely 😂 One of my mates collects older consoles and always been quite amazed at his knowledge level buy never actively searched for on here. Came across your content Thursday and watched about 15 of your drops since, good work m8
Great video again, you should put a disclaimer on your videos though people could get hurt copying what you do, kids never mess with a power supply they hold electricity for ever or until the capactiors have been discharged properly.
Second one looks like my ps4 my wife got rid off with out me noing🤣🤣 was keeping it to see if I cud get old my account off it coz I forgot my sign in 🤣🤣 love watching your vids
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
@TheCod3r what kind of flux do you use or prefer for surface mount components?
This is why right to repair is so important. Saving electronic equipment from the landfill should be a priority. Re-using components and reducing the amount of e-waste is critical to a cleaner future.

@@danbooke2001Yep repairing is easier than recycling.

Woohoo 100k views, thanks everyone 🙏 😀
Keep up the good work bro!
Best wishes from India!
Just a heads up i seen the kids name pop up in the vid on 2nd ps4 around the 59 to 59.30mark
Well deserved!
Well done on the video and views! Looks like you need to wear gloves on this shite!
When you can take something as bad as that and turn it into something that works, that feeling is a great thing.
Something from nothing. A real accomplishment
Ebay seller if selling these: "Minor cosmetic damage. Barely used."
That flux is like magic stopping th solder from going where it's not supposed to go . Genius. I suffer with anxiety and depression disorder . Watching you work is helping a lot.
yeah , it's exiting , suspenseful and relaxing . I'm 45 and started last year self learning electronics to fix stuffs , but my field are computers
Love your work Phil, I think your a great technician. I like how you explain everything, it makes it easier for me/everyone to understand. (English, Yorkshire fan)

I take it back! Having channel membership and early access just made my day!
Electrifying mate. Really :D
Haha thanks mate 🤣🤣
You've done it again. Awesome repair!! Real pleasure to watch your videos.

You are the man I love fixing things like this i found dirty3 ps2 one time .. that feeling back then
Love to work on the unexpected. Thank you so much for the awesome videos. Listened to them on my road trip.

This guys dedication alone was enough for me to want to own this consoles and use them until the time comes and power offs the final time.
Phil TheCod3r = F'ing awesome! Amazing repair work, great videos, keep up the great job doing what you do best.
Love your videos man do some more scrap systems this was satisfying!!
Satisfying moment went junk turn to be fixed. Loved this.
This was amazing watched the whole thing keep doing what you’re doing
Thanks buddy much appreciated

1:01:04 saw you install the update file and not the full system update that's why the PS4 retained the data.
Oh that could've explained it lol. I didn't actually notice to be honest 😁
I respect you gentle guy thank you
This was such a great video, kudos! may all you effort bring good things in the future :D
You're awesome dude! Love the videos.
I agree on not updating, any up to 7.55 can be / is jailbroken, Well done!.
Love watching he’s a genius
hey cool videos lad keep it up. i seen u had some trouble getting hdmi to stick, a buddy in a repair shop told me he would tin a little solder on the socket pins as well .. give it a go it might help you out
Crazy what you can find and repair when professional at doing your job
Wow another fantastic job
Great video - Enjoyed and subscribed 👍
Great Work Man your work is highly appreciated
I feel your pain. I got a nintendo ds lite that was caked in mud and other stuff. Fortunately a clean up and a nice clear case fixed it.
Haven't seen the outcome yet, but if you fixed these I truly hope you got to keep more than 50% of the sale! That first one is minging haha
haha I didn't actually get anything from the repairs. I just gave them back to my brother in law because the revenue from the video far exceeded the value of both consoles lol
hahah finally real scrap video, not some guy that found somthing in the mud and all works...
People think they found it, but it just they make it look like trash and the the ignorants think that they are geniuses😂
Well done bro
25:40 what fell off the underside of the board?
Great screensaver from my country Slovenia - Bled :P
Great work
Excellent work well done please do more of this sort of stuff
Have you ever considered using a spray electrical contact cleaner? It might come in handy for large projects and leaves no residue but does take longer to dry than isopropanol.
I use servisol 10
"I think this where Corona virus started."
Timing was perfect 🤣
Great work Phil 👍👍👍
Just going through youre videos and this one was great 😉
Cheers bud much appreciated
I dont own a ps4 yet but if i ever did and had problems with it, i would come here. Awesome video mate keep up the good work.
Good job man
Enjoyed this one. I'm sure you already know but when connecting the PS4 to the mains for testing, it should always be hdmi then ac power 😉👍🏻
Thanks mate, yeah I agree it should be, I'm just lazy lol 😆
First time hearing this, can you explain why? Can it fry the port?
Great job man. Keep it up I'm enjoying the content. A+
Everyone loves a bit of bin juice with their ps4 😂
Adds to the flavour haha
Great show bro 👍 . Best wishes with every repair you do and beyond that of course .👍
Excelent video..keep going
Nice video mate, keep em coming.
Man,you just became my hero, with this much deduction!!!!
But,you DO know,you can stuck the case in the dishwasher ????
Oh,and your prononciation is hilarious,but,strangely,I could understand it all!!!
This guy is amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Thanks mate
I enjoy your channel Mate
Bro You Deserve millions
Loot like you made some new friends. The PS4 at 39:15 can have a bad hard disk controller chip when it can't find the hard disk.
Well done! It's alive🤗
i do sega gamegear repairs - their usually not bad until you get one that is in the condition like those and you have like 50 traces to replace with backlights burnout-- not to mention the full recap lol

At least the warranty stickers are still on

Appreciate your dedication... reward yourself with some nitrile gloves for these special jobs 👍
