Just popping in here 4 years on, and this is just the defining moment for you Joey. The fact you "toasted" so well and had the courage to give it a go, has led you to where you are now. And the utter joy in your voice when it turned on made this for me.
Just catching up with your old vids here, your enthusiasm and energy are definitely coming across here, very inspiring. Great vids and a great hobby... and cats as well 😎👍
I've been fixing stuff myself recently. Glad to find yet another channel that does these repairs. Great job on soldering! I'm experimenting with soldering myself soon.
Joey Does Tech I’ve heard it pretty easy from my brother in law. Congrats on fixing it by the way. I just bought a white one new because I hate working with the top screens lol.
Nice video! Maybe fix up a gamegear or classic gameboy for your next project? I love recapping gameboys to make them last another 30 years. That's just super satisfying!
Great video! Keep it up! Edit: at first i wrote that this video was a bit raw, but it's clearly not! RUclips was drunk again and showed me this video's duration was 45 Minutes. Lol
After a bit of a sort out , I found my lads Ds lite which had a broken hinge and funny coloured top screen along with a broken d pad. After taking it apart a few times And putting it back together to learn, I think I messed up the top screen ribbon more as the speakers stopped working. Got my replacement top screen coming in 2 days, along with a new shell, already fixed the dpad and got new hinge so… I’ll be doing soldering for the first time soon ha
Ayeeee good to hear though Lee! How did you find taking it apart etc? Can be quite fiddly especially if it’s the first thing you’re working on. Let me know how the soldering goes :)
Bravo from another Joey! I am also wanting to start this up as a hobby because it looks like so much fun and satisfying. I don't really have much soldering experience but I've taken apart things to fix plenty of times in the past. I enjoy your beginner view because I will be in the same boat once i actually am able to start whenever i get a device to work on hopefully someday soon. My only beginner recommendation would maybe be dabbing just a tad of flux on the solder points when attaching the wires because a couple of them look a little cloudy versus nice and shiny since the flux burned off when tinning the pads. That could also be the camera but I'm not sure and also like I said I'm also a beginner with just video watching experience. All in all I'm enjoying your videos. The editing is pretty sweet and you're pretty funny so I get a good laugh when watching. What video edit software do you use?
Thanks man, really appreciate it. Flux is definitely one of the things on my list, it was just understanding what it was at first as I had no idea 😂 I use Sony Vegas at the moment.
@@JoeyDoesTech do you have the free version of Vegas? I'm not sure if it's just a trial or what haven't looked into it. But....I did just pick up a DS Lite that needs a new game cart slot so I'm going to get my feet wet now whether I want to or not lol and I want to video it and upload it to my channel, maybe start a new channel.
@@joeyhenry7312 I bought mine aaages ago. Have a look around for some cheap software, I like Vegas because it's simple and familiar for me. Maybe see if there's any free trials going 😁
@@JoeyDoesTech no problem also my first ds refurbishment was converting a black ds lite with a cracked hinge I replaced the shell with a gold zelda shell which looked nice but in the process I broke the top screen em10 charging coil and the touch screen I was gutted and left it on my shelf for months and finally when I got the courage to try fix it again I got a new top screen touch screen and em10 and it was a success so I'm planning on buying another ds lite and converting it to a clear shell to boost my confidence and try get better at fixing them since my first time was a nightmare I absolutely love your channel your videos are so inspirational I have been subscribed for a while now and I genuinely enjoy your content keep up the amazing work
@@Daniel-dl6fp Dude thankyou so much, it really means alot. The aim is to give people the confidence to give fixing a go, because you cant get much worse than me haha! Starting with no experience, having fun, and meeting new people on the way. Thankyou for being a part of the community :)
A tip from me what i do when soldering in little technical parts: first put the solder on the tip of the soldering iron, and then gently put it on the things you want to solder together. Dont complain about my english, please, im a german 14 year old
@@JoeyDoesTech I used that Technique just yesterday as i repariered my broken N64-controller where i had to resolder the wires. It was kinda tricky but now it works perfectly fine 👍Also great job on the DSlight
Nice Job lol I have a soldering Iron and I am 14. That is the same one I have lol. Next, you should try to repair your iPhone and try to make sure It has no faults.
Lol that's a diffrent story. Iphone's arn't really reparable. Nintendo give's you the option (or make's it easyer) to repair your system. Though Iphone is kinda greedy and make's the customer's pay for the repair cause it's so hard to repair. You really gotta know a lot bout electronic's to repair an iphone.
Think that's the next one, just need to ensure the power button is fully functional aswell as replacing the screen (again). That will be a pretty fun one for me to dive into :)
@@ylondes9927 iPhones are repairable but you need time and patience like when I swapped my housing for a blue iPhone 6s it took time to take out the parts and put in new housing but if your familiar with iPhone its not that hard.
@@JoeyDoesTech I recommend trying to do an easy mod because there are some hard ones out there that requires pretty good soldering iron skills. Though that's my opinion! If modding is what you wanna do i strongly recommend starting of a gameboy color because for me is way easier.
Nice work man! Solder expert now. “I’ll be happy if I don’t burn the house down” that’s a familiar phrase!
I've just started repairing consoles like you, and I can totally relate to the excitement when the speakers worked fine. Congrats!
Nice! What consoles have you got into repairing? I want to start looking into some Xbox 360's next or Xbox One's :)

@@magicalruin Thankyou! Just to let you know, your English is better than mine haha.
nice bit of soldering :)
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
wow! great tutorial like video! do another repair like ps4 or other consoles!
100% what I was thinking. Been watching a few videos on it!
Great video
Thankyou Froz :)
Have you ever replaced the ribbon?
yo quick question, did your ds lite turn on without the top screen functional?
How many wats u used for the solder iron
What kind of solder wire is that
You know what you need... it’s time for a Macro!
Very tidy job. Now some games for it?
Quite possibly! Think I've got some lying about somewhere that I can dig out.

Hey! For next video try fixing a Gameboy! I believe its way easier.
Maybe i'll try and mod one O.o I've seen some videos that look pretty interesting!

@@Saolinn Ah okay, i'll do some research. I think I have an old one somewhere, so will try to dig that out. Time to find a reliable modding site! :)
