Hey Steve, how is that non-toxic flux treating you? Was it ever officially released. Im just getting into repairing stuff and having flux that isn't trying to kill me would be a major plus. 😄
@ 18:23 "What the problem is….. Actually, I don't know what the problem is…."
Very nice. Seriously, a big key to being a Tech and troubleshooting is realizing when you don't know what the problem is…..
12:08 – that nail and finger is good for scale appreciation 😂
Get secondary and tertiary opinions on whether the flux is safe, as all flux makers say theirs are.
Great video! I do love these longer videos. They give key insights that you miss in the shorter ones. I appreciate the extra dialog and also repetitive nature of the operations. Helps to put things into context sometimes related to how long it should take to repair a given item and what additional steps may be needed along the way. These give me hope to someday be confident in my own electronic endeavors. I'm building a CNC machine on my channel and I've taken a lot of inspiration from your channel with regard to how I might go about tackling some of these electronic challenges.
Guys can anyone tell me the name of that PCB holder shown at 5:00 ? Thank you
Don't think I've ever said thank you and your team for these awesome videos. You got me interested in hardware again and provided many hours of entertainment / education. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
$300 for that device I understand you’re going to even out. Or probably make money on it just by the YouTube video but $300 for a device like that on a consumer that’s not gonna make a video on it. It looks like the person selling the device was trying to rob someone if you ever see a broken steam deck that someone has already opened up and somethings wrong with it if it’s $300 do not buy it $200. Don’t even buy it now 150 that’s kind of meh On eBay it’s often important to read the details. Otherwise you may be sent yourself up for failure in case of tronicsfix he’s gonna make money off the video which will offset the cost
Don’t think you soldered the support legs
great vid!
Hello, great video, do you know the part number of the button? Thanks
I know yo said yo don't like using a Lot of FLUX
but that's why I'm sorry to say yo repair looks like
a Rookie on their second day of working in the field.
So~so sorry for being so harsh but flux is imperative,
so never ever hold back from relying on all of it's
many benefits that for the most keeps solder where
it is needed and as it's doing that keeping the area
clean from contaminates that cause all sorts of probs
Use as much FLUX as you can if you want a clean
finish, and remember to wipe away the excess flux
while still hot, followed by a good soaking of IPA if
you want to get any where near to My Mate Vince's
level of soldering and finish..
APU👁👍
I like doing repairs like these, i'm always looking to buy things to fix but they are hard to find for a fair price and usually not profitable.
So glad they moved the button to the joystick module on the OLED.
5:45 the Bad Face 😅
use clean braid 😀
Nice.
Much prefer these longer videos
$300??? Man you are REALLY good at repairing stuff – but you are not very skilled at buying stuff! This device is $419 from brand new – so spending $300 on it in fully working order would be a pretty meh deal. $300 for a broken example with 0 warranty however – that is HORRIBLE my man! Like actually $200 wouldn't even be a great deal considering that it's not just broken – but an amateur has been inside it trying to "fix" it… In my experience that increases the risk of the device being bricked by a fairly large amount. Paying half the price of the new price for a potentially bricked device is fairly risky no matter how you look at it – and paying 75% is just reckless IMO.
Awesome. Love these longer videos!!! Great work!
Multi-layered board with ground plane exposed underneath where the middlepin is. Either dremel it away or seal it properly underneath and just use wirelink between middle switch connection to broken trace only, and don't try soldering the middle switch pin to the board.
12:08 biggest finger ever!! 😅
Been watching your vids for awhile now. About a month ago got a 2TB SSD for my deck from IFIXIT and was able to do that with their vids. Keep it up your doing a great job!
I love my steam deck ❤
#1 tip, have a %100 working to compare to model so you can see whats the problem easier. lol 😆 😢
I believe Valve redid these buttons for the OLED model. Not sure if it made a difference or not I own an OLED model and so far I'm super happy with it.
Good repair 😮
$300 for a broken Steam Deck when you can get a working one for that price? 🤣
And again, amazed by so much dedication for repairing stuff. Keep going Steve !
1st 🙂
