One of My Viewers Got Ripped Off! Let's Try to Fix it! Viewer Ken sent his XBox One X to a local repair shop who said they could fix it... but they couldn't. When I tested the Xbox it powered on but there was no signal. It looks like the repair shop did a poor job replacing the HDMI port but fixing that wasn't enough to get it working again. Still a few more things to try to get it working.

Have you had Cow Chips and crunchy cheese?
hey!
Do you fix ps2
Answer to your question: Nope 😁
Great job! It was very kind of you to fix the xbox of one of your viewer. 👍👍
Actually my first time bothering to click on a RidgeWallet sponsored link. Nice looking wallets but doesn't suit my needs unfortunately.
First you got paid in a pizza coupon in a ps4, now getting paid with snacks. Sounds like a good deal to me
Ha, ha...agreed!
Not to mention that it gives him content to create. Which also comes with a revenue + sponsored stuff.
But it’s always nice to get a little “snack” to try while working on a fix 🙏🏼
I loved snacks
I'm guessing the dude paided him with money after finding out he fixed it
Cause I would
You saved my butt a couple of years ago when I nicked a trace while trying to take off the heat sink. I had no one that could fix it and then I saw your channel, when you still had your shop. Ever since I have been an avid watcher of your videos.
Love hearing this! Thank you for your support!
@@Tronicsfix is there a way that I can send you my system to get repaired I do believe it's just a hard drive. it says cannot access system storage
@@ericdelrio4672 Send it to me.
It's always an adventure to see other people's "repairs."
Ha, ha...that's for sure!
this was uploaded 30 minutes ago how did u comment 4 days ago?
@@12bucklemyshoe34opennanoor he probably is a member of the channel
@@12bucklemyshoe34opennanoor time travel bro, get it with amazon prime
Whatever "repair" shop they sent it to was incompetent. 1) Leaving tape on. 2) Taking parts (pads, screws) off and not only not putting them back on, but not even giving them back to the customer. 3) The most amateurish solder job I've ever seen...I'm not that great at soldering, and I can do better than that. 4) Leaving a mess of old flux and not even attempting to clean it up with alcohol.
People that have never done electronics soldering have no idea the hours and hours of practice it takes to plop a chip down and line it up that fast. I salute your skill good sir and I am a tiny bit jealous of it. I spent years diagnosing and repairing crypto mining ASIC boards where the fix 99% of the time was to narrow down and replace the bad chip. I am glad I no longer have to do that, it can be frustrating work at times
"but even better, Ken sent snacks!"
I'm half awake after a night full of nightmares, so this kind of almost childlike pure happiness just made my morning so much better. Thank you sir!
Ha, ha...snacks make everything better!
@@Tronicsfix I Don't know Ken, but they make both of those snacks in my neck of the woods! Was cool to see something hyper local to me show up in one of your videos!
snacks
@@TheHandsomeman Sounds better than some of the weird flavors of potato chips in Japan. "Fish eggs and butter"-flavored potato chips. Yum! (NOT.)
Another console saved from the dead. 🙌🏽 Great work as always.
YES! Thanks for watching.
I love watching people fix or restore things. Though I can't do it myself, I find it very fascinating to watch regardless.
So glad you enjoyed this!
same it’s so satisfying watching something get fixed
I will send you ALL SORTS OF TASTY THINGS if I ever need something fixed :)
From a distance, High Five!
@@symbolicsin RETURN FIVE!
Hello good sir
No five
No six
Another device saved from the landfill. Nice work, Steve.
Thanks 👍
U should definitely be a food reviewer as a side job
Lol...good to know. I'll have to consider that!
@@Tronicsfix Second channel: TronicsFood 🤣
@@briangereau788 third channel after getting a bit fat: TronicsFits
@@iangarcia2708 😂😂
LMAO
Dont know why, these videos are so calming to watch, think I enjoy when he goes into the board to repair chips. Its so cool
The snacks review is one of the best parts of the video
Really? Glad you liked that part. Might do more in the future if people like that part.
@@Tronicsfix it is pretty wholesome in my opinion. The other thing about the video that I really like is that you are in it. It's always pretty cool when fans send gifts to their favorite youtubers and seeing them (you) really happy about it
Ha ha, I agree. Fred
You have to go to Prince Edward Island to get those chips. I had them when I went there a few years ago.
I guess that does it. I have to go!
Nice to see people willing to help. Thank you
those cheddar pops are like a drug. you just cant get enough.
They are pretty tasty!
I've noticed that effect; you try one, two, three, then all of a sudden they start to "grow on you" and you eat a couple more. The next thing you know, the bag is empty and you are officially addicted to the snack. Seems what takes a while to appeal to you then becomes a new addiction! Fred
I'm more interested in those cow chips
@@Jdogg4089 not sure how those tastes but here in finland taffel makes similar stuff and these are very yummy.
When I saw the Cow brand stuff, I knew immediately: Thats from Prince Edward Island.
It's pretty tasty stuff!
@@Tronicsfix I first read that as nasty stuff
That would make sense as ive lived in almost every province except the East coast and ive never actually seen those before.
Dangit I've been to PEI twice now and haven't seen cow chips before. Guess third time is the charm.
Found some awesome ice cream places, though.
@@raddaks2039 find a Cow’s store...they have them there. Also if your in Canada some Sobeys stores have them.
I like your videos before they even start... that’s how much confidence I have in you
Great repair. Why do you think the other shop didn't try to replace the chip?
Most likely didn't know if that chip was related to the HDMI system.
My guess is that it’s easier to replace a HDMI port rather than the chip.
They probably where bored to replace the chip or they didnt have a chip or they
are not experienced or they wanted free money
Bruh! GA :)
@@idk-kz2jg bruh what. No repair, no pay.
Watching you fix consoles makes me want to fix consoles but i'm scared i'm going to break something 😅
Start with something easy, then go for harder repairs as you learn more. That's what I did.
Why be scared if its already broken :) buy a broken console and then start from there
I ripped the connectors off my motherboard on my ps4 pro and i attempted it at first and watched videos to give it a shoot at my own risk and i had the wrong wire so i said screw it and sent it off to shanefix and i highly recommend it. least i do is iphones and ps3/4 controllers so hey gotta start somewhere and not dive in head first like i did
That's true, Steve makes look so easy, but it's really hard when you don't have the tools (like the hot air stuff) and the new parts to try (like the hard drive).
you know the good old TronicsFix saying, fix something till its broken lol Break with confidence lol
Awesome video, and always nice to get gifts too. I had a bottle of whisky given to me once, I almost died on live stream 🤣
Your expertise is addicting to watch
Glad you enjoy these! Thanks for watching.
I love how clean and tidy you work .also how carefully and calm you sort problems out
Such a good video. Showing how you trouble shoot the issue and narrow it down till you get a fix. So enjoyable to watch. Glad you enjoyed the snacks!
Every time he says "perfect amount of thermal paste" I'm like it's too much!!
But it remains my favourite part of all his videos, because he does it with so much confidence. Love it!
Lol!
i prefer spread the paste on the chip before put the rad on
@albert that’s definitely the correct amount of thermal paste, a pea sized drop may not cover the entire vrm which will lead to thermal issues
@vexelghost maybe if he says "a tube of thermal paste" ill be happy, who knows 😂
What you talking about its the perfect amount
real heros do not wear a cape
One of my fav videos of the year! 😊 This is so wholesome I even watched the wallet ad, when I could have just skipped it. Glad to see you're giving back to your community. That is one happy subscriber!
I really enjoy watching your videos I bet all your neighbor love having a guy like you around :() .

Not sure how you think crunchy cheese is a bit weird when you country invented spray on cheese and spreadable marshmallows 😜😂😂
Lol...now that's funny! You'd think we would have thought of crunchy cheese too...we've made it into basically every other form!
Sprayable what now?😂
@@HedggieChillin "Easy Cheese"
Lol
@@HedggieChillin rediwhip can style cheese.
Redriver chip? You are not fooling anyone, my friend. After all this time, we know very well what truly fixed the problem is THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF THERMAL PASTE. Oh, and keep reviewing snacks during your videos, we loved it! Hugs from México!
Ha, ha...you caught me! I'll have to do more snack reviews.
Awesome, bro! You are on your way to 1 Million viewers. Hopefully you get it by the end of the year. Keep up the good work!
Im so happy you fixed it!!! WELL DONE!!!
Yessssss! Congrats to Ken, bro you sent your system to the right guy. Even though I have seen Steve do this now 100 times I still was on edge 😳. Great video as usual Steve! Haven't commented in a while but watched and liked your last 3 videos👍🏾👍🏾
I appreciate your support so much! Thanks for watching!
The person that sent this console had to be like, That's my console on RUclips.
This guy makes these repairs look way too easy! Amazing work as usual.
Great work man! It's amazing how you revive these consoles!
That was nice of you. Great work
Thank you kindly
Your videos are awesome! I seriously get so happy when you upload a new video. Cheers from Chicago :)
Wow, thank you!
Yours videos are great, thanks to you motivating me i've fixed & maintenanced all my retro & modern consoles & there running better then ever. Thank you tronics
Great to hear!
I cleaned and applied new thermal paste on the ps4 of my brother.
I used your video from 2015 to do it,
keep up the good work!
Glad I could help!
Great to see you bring another console back to life :-)
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Is there something specific that causes those chips to fail, or is it just a random defect?
It's a common failure on those but not sure what causes it.
Your videos are so satisfying to watch. Thanks
It's awesome that you took the time and worked on someone's broken console for a video. Keep up the great work dude!
Cooking Channel when Steve? 😁
Great video as always 👌
Ha, ha...now THAT would be some high quality entertainment!
Great work,love your channel.Greeting from Montenegro
Awesome, thank you!
Opa, fellow crnogorac! :P
@@andstriker Hahaha 😂
Almost to 1 million Steve hope you get there 👍
I like you fixing viewers electronics. It provides content and a good service. I really liked the video.
What do you mean? The Perfect Ammount of Thermal Paste™ fixes any and every problem!
Ha, ha...that was probably the only problem the whole time!
There’s a local candy store that makes chocolate covered old Dutch ripple chips. They’re absolutely amazing!
Sounds amazing!
Hey Steve, I just wanted to say thank you. Watching your videos gave me to confidence to work on electronics and solder. I’m not great at soldering yet but I can do it! I’ve fully customized my Dreamcast! Rgb led, recharavle battery, removed voltage regulator off psu (with gdrom drive gone the votlage spikes up to 14 and it puts out massive heat with this removed it drops back down to 12), notcua fan mod and clear case and few other things! I’m to afraid to try soldering the ODE board ribbon cables to my ps1 so I’m gonna send it out for that.
This is why i love your channel, you care and help your viewers unlike most people nowadays.
As a fellow Canadian i can highly recommend Cows though as far as i know they are only in the Nova Scotia area and if you get the chance to checkout the shop on the wharf in Halifax you'll have some of the best ice cream ever.
I hope to make it up there someday
PEI.... There are multiple Cow brands from PEI
Nice job! Make it look easy
Hey thanks! I've done a few so it looks easy but some of these repairs are pretty tough if you haven't done them before.
@@Tronicsfix chip soldering looks terrifying, earth soldering is hard enough but those pins are so small and need to be so neat. I feel it would be very expensive to get the gear I would need to do a quarter decent job.
Well done! Very satisfying to watch
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like how your not afraid to use a lot of flux, I see a lot of crappy solder joints on youtube most people don't use any flux.
You forgot to dip the snacks on solder flux.
Ha, ha...never done that before...does it taste like Ranch?!
At first I read one of my fingers got ripped off and I was like wtf
Lol...probably wouldn't make a video about that!
Love your channel I'm looking to get into repairs my self but I think the best thing to do it start small till I'm confident and know exactly what I'm doing and your videos give alot of help
Go for it!
Love ❤️ this format of video. More of these botched repairs fixed please ! 👍
Glad you like them. My audience seems to be liking this video so far. If people like this type of video I'll def. do more.
Yumm I love Cows Ice Cream, greetings from Nova Scotia. I wonder what shop this customer took his system to, if thats the quality of soldering available in Eastern Canada I should start offering a repair service.
Cool! I think I need to come visit that area! Sounds like you should start your own repair shop!
*TronicsFix* "Eats the snacks"
*Viewer's* "I just wanna see him eat the snacks already screw the repair!"
Lol 😅
Both are great!!!
Very cool steve 😃 👍 Good job with your soldering!
Another really good video glad you got the console working
Very nice video! I would like to se an Xbox 360 red ring fix or ps3 YLOD fix
Noted
@@Tronicsfix thanks!
Lol I paid 250 at a local repair shop for them to “repair” my pc and they told me they did, got it back and it’s still broken.
I love your repair videos they inspire me a lot
Thank you so much!
Ken must be really happy and impressed! Kudos
Lol
I like your videos, im from.philippines, can i get a heart react too.
Thanks for watching!
Really appreciate everything you do
Thats an expert who replace the chip with ease, where in real life , it would be really hard, nice work !!
SO, long story short, I saw so many of your vids that last week my xbox one x was overheating so I opened it up, replaced the thermal paste and now.. it's working like new. I studied as an IT but never learned how to repair consoles and I learned so much from your RUclips channel TY man you are awesome 👍👍👍
This is so nice to hear
You're the man! Nice fix as always!
Great video as always. Thank you for sharing
Congrats on 1 mil!
You centered that chip so quickly.
Nice video as always.
Bro you deserve way more subs. This content is so good and interesting
You seem like a humble and awesome person!
I was able to fix two xbox controllers quickly and easily thanks to your disassembly video. Thanks!
Love it! So glad my videos helped! Nice work.
@pokemaster 21 what did you replace? I replaced elite 1 bumpers only yesterday. I swear there is a bunch of plastic hair in these controllers.
ur videos relaxes me good job bro
Love this channel. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Great job, as always. Not any formality. I appreciate it all😄
I appreciate that
Great work! The only reason why Ken got ripped off is from too many people masquerading as repair technicians that have no clue or the skills to do repairs like this. Even the solder joints that were supporting the HDMI plug were terrible. It's always nice to see someone that has pride in what they do and knows when they just can't fix something.
Love what you do man keep it up 🖖
9:54 that was perfectly timed lol
I got my brother watching your repairs. He loves learning how to do it
Steve you work wonders!
Not only do we get a repair video but a food review video too? My God everything i need in one video!
Nice video . Thank you. When i have a problem with anything I’m coming here first. My NUMBER 1 channel for Repairs. 👍👌👌👌👍
Great video as usual. I tend to find myself watching these even though I have no problems with my consoles 😅
One question if you have time to answer please - What soldering gear do you use? Love the way your flux reacts to the solder. What solder and iron setup have you got please? Thanks again 👍🏻
great work! love seeing you treating your fans like that keep up the good karma
Great work as always. More content please!
I love to see these repairs. i had this problem with my xbox one x last year. fortunately it was still under warranty but it is very difficult to find someone who knows how to do this work here in brazil
That's what I've heard. Glad it was still under warranty.
@@Tronicsfix about the warranty: Microsoft replaced the xbox and didn't actually fix it. it seems that even they do this here. they send it to another country. argentina maybe
Nicely done!
Love this type of content 🙌🏻
So glad you enjoyed this one!
That company (Cows) also makes parody shirts and ice cream. Love your vids. I appreciate your honesty. You're not afraid to show everything, even when your repairs don't work.
thanks to your videos I got motivated to start fixing my own broken stuff
That is awesome!
What kinda stuff you fixing? Don’t say will to live/motivation.
No problem ❤️ Thanks for fixing my XBOX
Dude am from Zambia have watched all yo videos man u always made my day,love yo channel
