Can I FIX a FAULTY PlayStation VITA from eBay?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- I paid £55 for this broken PS Vita, It's the 1st generation with the OLED screen (and annoying proprietary charging port). It was listed as having no power, for spares or repairs.
Let's see if I can FIX it!

PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

I have absolutely no idea how to fix anything but your videos are so entertaining and theres something satisfying about seeing these things repaired instead of chucked in the bin! I'm glad the allorhythm showed me your channel!
Really glad to see your channel finally getting the appreciation it deserves. Fantastic work.
Thanks Jonathan! 👍
Amen to that.
He is rubbish
@@StezStixFix Hey steve iv started watching alot of your repair videos and iv loved your stuff, iv actually been wanting to do try my hand at learning to solder and repair and was wondering if you had any recommendations on some starter tools i should look at let me know if you get the chance please thank you for the content.
@@gerardodeloera7330 read the description.
Watching here from one of the colonies (Canada). Love your videos. So relaxing just to watch. I've watched others and yours are the most professional, calm, funny. The camera work is awesome, steady and in focus. I watch I learn. I yearn for those tools. Thank you.
Greetings Steve! I'm a novice hobbyist and found your channel about a week ago. I've watched quite a few of your videos and find them amazingly helpful, entertaining and educational. Thank you for putting these "REAL" repair videos up for us noobs to learn from. You're doing an amazing job, keep up the great work, sir!
I've just found your channel yesterday and already seen a couple of vids. Its really satisfying to see you work. Your humor with the nice and songs in between makes this really fun to watch. Keep it up!
I only recently discovered your channel, but I've seen all your videos already. You have huge progress. Not only am I having a great time, but the dry humor and even drier singing. Absolutely breathtaking..or earstaking?..You are absolutely great mate!!! I can't wait for the next video. You are the best🙈☺️👌🏻👍🏻😂
Your channel was recently in my recommended and it peaked my interests.. now you've got me wishing I ordered a soldering station all those years ago and every single time I've needed one since!! So many little electronics I have that are faulty in some way and you've shown me just how easy it can be (some skill still required)
It peaked your interest? It's at its highest point?
@@randybob275 it doesn't get higher!
Having that microscope really helps too. Mine arrives tomorrow 👍
I’ve been going through and watching all your old content, and it auto played your new video! Love your content, you make me want to start repairing games and consoles!
It's actually unreal how entertaining you make repair videos. I've watched a lot of repair channels as i started diving into this, and i must say, your channel very quickly has easily become my #1 favorite. Between the production quality, to the meticulous work, clean setup, and most of all, the humor! Is unparalleled!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
So happy I found your channel, you don't half make me giggle at times. What a cracking end to a nights work... A new StezStix video.
Just came across your channel this evening, and I already watched 3 videos. Love your calming voice and humor! You are great, stay cool!
I found your channel a couple of days agoas one of your videos popped up on my recommendations, and I’ve been binge watching them ever since
Found you 2 days ago, its so relaxing and facinatings seeing you fix stuff.also love your humor/style
My favourite video so far voice over Steve had me in stiches. I've learned a lot watching your videos One of few channels I click the bell on. Nice one mate.
Found your channel yesterday mate, been binging your videos. Excellent content, Keep it up!
Thanks Guy! 👍
Guy
haha, try to avoid binging them! I watched them all, over the period of a fortnight, now it feels like forever waiting for each upload!
I've binged them too!
I've just found my new favourite Channel, can't stop watching your videos. Extremely entertaining!! Good job
You remind me so much of myself with music....its so fun to watch you fix things with a fun attitude!
Man, you just appeared in my recommendations and I am loving your videos
This channel feels like one of those 2 million sub channels you happened to catch early. Always a nice feeling. Subbed and strapped in.
such a good but underated channel
i like how your always just relaxed about anything and everything
I love you videos... I am staggered how everything just falls in place for you...😊. Great work mate.
About 2 weeks ago YT recommended your channel, I've been binge watching all your videos ever since! :D Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I do a lot of Vita hardware mods and I don't know where to start when replacing the fuse. This helped ALOT!
I discovered your channel a few days ago and I love it, greetings from Spain
congrats with the channel. some friends and i have been watching for about a month. love to see the massive growth.
i love this channel sooo much!!!!!! Your sense of humor is spot on!
I just found your videos and have been enjoying the hell out of them! Great job with these :) . I would love to see a video of the Fat Backwards Compatible Playstation 3's that used to have issues. I know i have 1 or 2 of them laying around.
Stumbled across your channel and very much enjoying the content! Hope you are well
The patreon song/skit was hilarious in this one. Love it
That patreon song was a hoot. Glad the fix was easier than I thought it would be, great to see.
I absolutely adore that you do songs for your patrons.
Keep it up man.
Nice!! You’ve got me into doing this. I don’t buy working retro stuff anymore. I buy it broken for cheap, then fix it.
Awesome! Good luck, it's a great hobby to have... very rewarding when you can bring something back from the dead! 👍
Im gonna start doing this as well
More of these please?
You are amazing and i'd love to see more
Love your videos they are so calming to watch.
Hello, just recently found your videos and I absolutely love them !!
I was wondering if you could do a video on all the tools/ cleaning materials you use ??
I really want to start doing what you do myself and am not too sure where to start tool wise. Really want to get into arcade restoration and I figured having a go at fixing consoles would be a good way to start :)
came for the sterling repair work...stayed for the singing :)
Found your channel a few days ago. You already found your voice. Keep doing what you're doing. You'll hit a million subs man. Love ya.
I came to see the fix and subscribed because of the song 😜
Great Job Mate!
Much deserved recent growth and success in the channel.
I really enjoy your videos. Having a go with witty banter is what it’s all about! 😁
Thank you for the link of the microscope stand, I'll keep my eyes out for a restock! Great video, glad you got this PS Vita working ;)
Ah, thanks Matthieu! Really appreciate the gift! Sorry it's no longer in stock (someone told me it was discontinued!) but I'll let you know if I see it pop up anywhere else. There also might be a good alternative out there somewhere... 👍
Hello there Steve, cheers from Brazil. I''ve stumble on your channel a few days ago and i am hooked, can't stop watching. keep it up :)
PS: don't forget to be nicer with voice over Steve, he is a hard working man...
The VOS bit from 2:44 onward had me laughing hard. Great video and appreciate the humor.
I randomly stumbled upon your Channel and love it! Especially your fixing Videos of Gameboy Games. I Hope you keep on doing These and maybe some Job Lots of Other Nintendo console Games (NES, SNES, N64) as Well? :)
Hi Steve, I'm new to your channel and have to say I'm loving it. Really great & cathartic too watch. Really looking forward to new content. Regards Ian 👍🏻
It's 5AM now.
Idk, but your vocals are great!!
The videos are calming. You earned a sub!!!
Nice work mate, really cool to see things brought back from the dead
all your videos are soooo good, love the content!
Today thanks to your videos I tried repairing a keyboard of mine with a few non-functionning keys… turns out there was a short-circuit on the microchip due to two pins being bound together. I realized I need better equipment after I fried it. Heh… maybe using nothing but a soldering iron wasn't all that clever. :D Keep up the good work!
I’ve been down a rabbit hole today after finding your channel to the detriment of my parenting. Nice work!
This channel is highly entertaining, well done.
Great video as always keep them coming
CERAMIC TWEEEEEZERS. One of your best purchases to date 😊 Great video pal.
I now can't say ceramic tweezers without it being Scottish. And it's all your fault. 🤣
I really enjoy the content you have, thanks for uploading.
I enjoy the Self-deprecating humor, the persistence to confront the unknown, the patience to problem solve all the while making educated guesses that point to a logical change. Good entertainment at its finest.
Well done Steve - I thought you were brave spending all that on a non-working machine but in the end it does look impressive. 😀👍
Thanks Chris! Yeah, bit of a risk, but I've wanted one for ages and the OLED model in particular. Very happy with it in the end (although I still want to replace that charging port!) 👍
@@StezStixFix fancy fixing my acorn electron basic, sinclair zx spectrum 48k, or my sega mega cd 2? 😃
Awesome fix! And entertaining singing bit with it!!
Found your channel today bro 🤩 I love the content man and you’re hilarious lol
Thanks Joshee! Much appreciated 👍
Good to see you fix this PS Vita there Steve you certainly are repairing so many items and good for you - Nice 1 mate 👍
Thanks Chris! 👍
loving the videos. The humor is nice as well. You ever had a palm pilot? I had a Palm V in middle school and miss the short hand language... also would like to see the inside. I might have to dig around the attic for that one.
Love the creativity Steve, I think me and VOS need to do a Duet 😂
🤣 Any time mate!
@@StezStixFix haha karaoke night at your place then? 🤣
Keep up content like this!! You’ve earned my sub!!
Just stumbled across your channel! What an excellent find (as Im a big LGR fan)
Big fan of the videos and a BIG fan of the Worms themed patreon ranks!
Just subscribed, great repair and good video :D
I learn so much thanks to you steve :) From Belgium ^^
When it blinks like that, it means the battery is undercharged from probably months, maybe years, of just sitting and it has to be caught up to the minimum safe usage levels.
Blinking is battery recovery mode. Just leave it overnight and it’ll be fine
@@FennecTECH is it best to let these batteries completely die before charging them to 100%?
What’s solid red light mean?
Bro mine just blinks for literally hours and turns on and stops charging. Then after whatever it's charged up is used, it just dies and restarts the problem all over
Very creative 😃 channel . You have just got another subscriber !
Nice fix. Catching up to Phil with subs. Soon be hitting 40K. Congrats Steve.
Thanks RB, fingers crossed! I seem to be doing well at the minute! 😊
Great clips, Thanks for the time time to make these. Can you do a soldering tutorial ? also what is the gel you use when soldering?👍
The song blew my mind. You are hilarious! Cheers.
Excellent video. Congratulations on the fix.
Awesome video Steve!!!
Just found you through youtube suggestions. Nice videos so far.
Nice fix Steve & 40k subs ,yeehaw !
Holy hell, I subscribed maybe a month or so ago and you were at like 10k subs and 2 patreons. I'm really happy you're getting algorithm love. Maybe it was that one video where you actually asked for people to like and sub LOL. I'll admit, it took me watching four or five before I subbed because I always forget. Anyway great job! You and I have a similar sense of humor so I love watching your videos. Keep it up bud
wow you put so much effort in your videos, i think you are going to become a famous youtuber very soon
Great Singer dude ^^ and also great technician !
Steve, I’m really
Enjoying your videos and your sense of humour! This looks like a great hobby have you got any suggestions for a beginner of something like this?
Steve, I've been watching your catalogue of old videos, and you've improved so much in the past year. Your content keeps improving with every video. Love watching and hope your channel blows up!
Nice repair - bought mine broken a year or two back and fixed it - Vitas are beautifully made!
Hey Stez! Awesome video!! Can you do one on how you use your multimeter to solve problems? I'd love to learn from you
I'll add it on my list! Thanks TheKlaurtar 👍
Great repair! These are getting rarer all the time because of how little the Vita was supported for.
Makes for a great emulation handheld once jailbroken! Some say its even better than a New 3DS when it comes to emulation
I have one and love it
:(
Probabaly just joined a little too late after this video was being recorded. Was hoping to be included in this song.
Lol, no proglem though, I'm just glad to be supporting an awesome channel. You're great, Steve.
Thanks Infin1ty! I'll send you a private message 👍
I Love Your Content Bro Keep it up!!
Amazing Steve well done buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks snicz! 👍
Fantastic job as usual!
i love you bro, i love ur style, your vidéos, and ur personality.
Happy life
Brilliant work Steve! :)
Great work as always. That charge port is a bit of a mess.
Wonderful job, thank you for the video
Every upload you knock it up a notch, How high can the bar go?!
It's surely gonna go downhill at some point! 🤣
Great video - would love to see you do a full recap on a Sega Game Gear
Ive said it before, ill say it again. I dont know why you dont have more subscribers. Your videos are hilarious and entertaining.
ohhhhhhhh shit, it's the internet's best rapper back with a new repair video 💪
🤣
Interesting how you just pick replacement parts by how they look alike. And darn, they work too... Thumbs Up!
great channel - i just found you a few days ago.
Great work, Steve! Well spotted! And the show you put on! 😁😁😁 By the way: solid,solid, solid... I know exactly who you're talking about 😁
😁 thanks Pedro!
I’m new to this channel and I can’t lie I’m obsessed
