Vince's Ebay Repair Thread - (Console Repairs & Mods)

I should have done a vid on it. It only took around 15 mins to sort it but I was eager to have a look and didn't set up to record.

If you get the chance some other time, I’d love to see it. Be really interesting to see how you diagnose the issue

I'll do a vid on my next no power console... Will remember to change audio source next time

Sickening how easy you make it look

(Very useful though)

I've had just a bit of experience now. Still fail my fair share of things though. Its gpus that really kick my arse the most!!

That's fine nowhere near mangled.. a couple of sticks would probably take me a few mins per stick... the trick is to be at about 415c, add a load of leaded solder and really get it mixed in then with the iron on the hole use the old solder sucker...

Also more flux that board isn't nearly fluxy enough...

That's sickening indeed 2 minutes

Ah OK I must have a setting wrong somewhere as my iron only is going up to 350, I will have a look at that today and chuck on more flux, the video is super helpful thank you

I forgot to change the audio source but here is me removing a pot... in silence... I just recorded it especially for you

DUDE! The temperature and this technique got me finishing this in about 15 minutes just need my IPA to remove the residue when it arrives today, big thanks

That's what I'm talking about... Good work my dude!! I see you went with the old roll of rape tactics. Solid tactic to be honest.
