2024 eBay FIXING Extravaganza!!!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I have been buying up various faulty items from eBay over the last month and I am now going to attempt to fix them all in one bumper 2 and a half hour long video. The goal is to see how many can be fixed and whether or not it is possible to turn a profit from fixing these items.
You can skip the items you are not interested in, and move onto the next one, but sometimes the most boring item can have the most interesting fix.
I hope you enjoy this one as it has taken at least 10 days in total to put together. Normal videos will resume after this one.
******** In this video I do work on various equipment with mains electricity going into them. Any one of these devices can easily kill you! DO NOT COPY ANYTHING YOU SEE IN MY VIDEOS, take them purely as entertainment ********
If you would like to support these videos, please click here / mymatevince
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince.

DESIGNED to leak - just imagine what would happen if pod would BLOCK machine and - they are DESIGN to leak to AVOID FAKE pods to be used - just read about ANY machine LEAKS when non original (usually replicable stainless steel pods used)*

    I have to say ,I really love it when Vince fixes stuff around the house and lets us have a sticky beak into his family life. Just as much as I love hearing all the noises in the background. Of course I love all his videos but I find those more personal and gratifying, we rarely ever see his wife in the videos sometimes Ben, his son, never his daughter or wife, but I like it when he talks about what his wife daughter and son would like from the stuff he fixes, after he fixes it.

    That phone was quite interesting. Well, the phone and that wall connector. Being from the US, I had never seen the British telephone socket. Our wall jacks are usually all RJ11 or RJ14. Older installations usually have two conductor or four conductor solid strand copper wiring, while a lot of newer installations just use something like Cat5 or Cat5e in the wall. I feel old remembering when Caller ID was a separate device that plugged in next to your phone and you had to pay a monthly fee to use it. Or the couple of times I used a rotary telephone. Or the time I used IrDA between my Nokia flip phone and my old Dell laptop to access dial-up internet. It's incredible how much technology has advanced in the past 20 years.

    Good video. You have inspired me to fix 2 Apple Watches and 1 iPod that I had laying in a drawer. My family thinks I’m nuts but I find it fun, challenging and rewarding. I especially enjoyed your cost and profit analysis in this video. Your idea of specialization is probably the only way to make anything. eBay eats up any real profit for small timers. I do this only for fun and to reuse what I already bought. Good work.

    Yet another great video Vince, keep them coming. Me personally, when I'm not developing Android apps or Windows based stock control systems for my clients, I too enjoy buying faulty, spares and repairs items from eBay. Once I have thoroughly tested the repaired items I don't resell them on eBay, but I sell them on FB Marketplace. I just set a price that I'm happy with and leave the item on there until it sells which usually only takes less than 2 weeks. You will be surprised how far people will drive to pick up an item.

    I love this channel. First, I am a BIG FAN of people with OVER THE TOP, OCD. 30 years ago, I did this for my family and my own gear. People never just look for the obvious and easy to fix. I learned from my networking career to always look for the easiest and single points of error. Sometimes Vince does this, other times he doesn't. His electrical knowledge is WAY MORE VAST than my own. Using a different cord, look for small bent connections, CHECK THE VOLUME AND BRIGHTNESS!! But at 60, my eyes are not what they used to be, and the steadiness of my hands are gone. So I love watching. Great Channel.

    I kinda thought that because you had not posted anything recently that you were going to do a long video job lot and you did! Awesome. Sorry about not being able to fix them all but that is life. It's a gamble with a pay out or loss. Most products that are for "spares or repairs" are for those who, like you, want to fix them and keep them...at least that is what I have seen watching several repair videos on here. But you are very talented and also a great entertainer! I think I enjoy it most when you get excited once finding the flaw and then when you get it to work. See you in the next one! Cheers!

    Well thank you Vince! I have 5 B&O phones in my home and over the past year one by one they went out commission (except one). I was told that my house wiring was probably at fault but nobody I could find would work on phone house wiring. When I saw your video, I thought Vince can fix just about anything! Having seen your video, I'm now convinced I must have that "incompatibility issue" as well. I have Apple phones as well so it wasn't a communication issue, I just loved having the B&O designs throughout my home. I guess they'll be "trailer queens" going forward but it sure is a relief to finally discover what the issue is! PS LOVE your Rolls Royce videos! Can hardly wait for each episode.

    I am always amazed at how patient you are with trying absolutely everything to get something working again. Mad props for that. On the Nespresso machines I know from the DeLonghi ones as soon as they leak it is not limited to one area. What do I mean by that? So when you use the machine, there can be small little leaks throughout the internal pipework as well as the brewing chamber and the mechanism of closing it up. What is also good to know is that coffee has oils. These oils can over time hinder the sealing performance of the brewing chamber causing it to leak out the sides. In addition if the little o rings that are scattered throughout the machine do exist it is always a good thing to clean it up and (in my case) add a tiny bit of food safe Vaseline. Or replace them if they have done brittle. Having done all of that the only thing to clean was the pyramid plate to which the old style capsules get pressed against because as well as the chamber this plate is getting a lot of coffee throughput. I am sure this may not help with the new style pod systems and I do apologize about that. I still tip my head at the great lengths you went through to try to get this machine working.

But each to his own it doesn't matter which road you take as long as you reach your destination...All the best, keep them coming.

    You should make yourself a "Dim bulb/Current limiter". It's a bit safer than having your circuit breakers pop.

    Or plug the device in to a 13A socket RCD adapter, like the type you can get at B&Q. Then there's no risk of affecting everything else in the house.

    On BT the screwdriver you had was called the Multi Headed Screwdriver. It was really robust. I managed to loose all the bits in mine. You could order the bits back in the day but they were made obsolete as was the screwdriver. I think it was made in USA. I did try and get replacement bits but I couldn't find any that were deep enough and they disappeared inside the handle. I think you had to order them from the States

    You can clean off superglue with Acetone. Useful if it's on your fingers. Have to be careful if cleaning from plastic of course as Acetone will dissolve some plastics.

    That Nespresso machine, not to mention the pods looks like a money spinner.. and as unreliable as most capsule machines I've come across. They always end up leaking or failing, the pods are bad for the planet and expensive... I ended up buying a decent filter coffee machine and put paper filters in it and scoops of fresh coffee. Works everytime and saves a fortune, and seriously doesn't take that long. I'm sure though there will be a user demographic that loves these things. Brilliant video, the dog fix cracked me up. Look forward to better weather and return of the Rolls! 😊

    @@Mymatevince Best Nespresso machine for me is the original pods and the machine I use is a sage creatista plus such a fantastic machine nd also as a steam wand , different programmes with a display and the display does step by step descaling making it easy. My friend bought one of those you have and it also broke down and wished he had gone with the original as many many people have issues with it.

Aurora Water Dispenser: We had about 10-20 of them so far, all killed the electricity for some reason. 4. Nespresso coffe machines have this leak issue unfortunately, looking forward to find out what causing it. The one we are using is leaking as well, we need to empty the water tank after every usage.

    Hi Vince, first time commenting, but i have looked a few of your videos. It is really good to see, that there are still persons out there, who have the mentality to try to fix things. I personaly LOVE to fix things, because if it´s borken, then I can´t brake it anymore, it is already borken. Now when I as looking/listening you Nesspresso part, it sounded a lot like she (all machines have a female soul) can´t push the water throught the heater, hence the descaleing request from the machine and leaking clean water afterwards, because pump has the preassure up, but there is now where to go. Just my two cents. Keep up the fixing spirit.
