When you replaced the thermal compound and cleaned the fan did you try replacing the thermal pads too?

What paste and how much?

Or how little

You need to tighten those two screws that hold down the APU pressure plate. Add washers if needed but apply the pressure very gently. Paste has nothing to do with this problem.

I bought a PS4 from a work colleague for £40, which had BLOD. I "fixed" it with a couple of washers. Still going strong. Even if it died tomorrow, I definitely got my money's worth!

Sorry there were so many case swaps in this video and not as many repairs. I was hoping there were more that would be fixable. Here's the link to the Taco Bell PS4 that I mentioned at the end. Hope you enjoy it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l4d_sZuRfZmyqJM.html

Could you do a video of investigating the e106 etc errors that are due to the Xbox 1S&1X internal hdd SATA connector going bad?? Never knew until it happened to me. New hdd and offline updates all fail but there’s people who bypass the data part with off the shelf SATA and use an extension power SATA cable to continue connecting to the proprietary OG connector’s power plug. A real mess I’m not sure many Xbox owners are aware of

It has been so long since I last watched Steve repair things. I’m glad I went back to watching him repair things

Special editions are amazing, glad to see someone likes those enough to go out their way and salvage them, even if it's only a case swap.

I love your videos man! Finally gave me the confidence to take apart my dual sense controllers and clean the joysticks for the drift they had and haven't had an issue with it since. Wouldn't have wanted to follow anyone else in seeing how to take it apart. Thanks!

You definitely know your stuff on fixing electronics….I watch everything you post. So informative.

It'a amazing how many people just throw away a console because of a bad hard drive.

@@Lukeno52 I have a Switch with a corrupted save that I bought as defective. It's an easy fix, just go into the recovery menue and reset the Switch. Problem is, the first owner didn't know that and sold it as defective, the (atleast) second owner didn't bother with it and sold it on and now I have it and have no way of reaching the original owner to ask them about the parental controll pin. A reset is only possible with the parental controll pin. And because I also can't get an inquiry number I also can't get the parental controll master pin from Nintendo. At the moment I hope that Nintendo releases a full system update soon and that this maybe fixes it.

Watching you videos inspired me to take apart, clean and add the perfect amount of thermal paste to my ps3 slim and og PS4 couple months back and man do they run strong as ever

I've got a special place in my heart for Steve's work which makes me turn my adblocker off when watching his videos.

Thank you for making these videos Steve. You inspired to become an electrical engineer. You’ve been a huge inspiration in my life.

ur videos are so educational I learned so many things about fixing techs. I find enjoyment on fixing this kind of things, my controller is the first device that I fix and I feel so happy when I got to use it again.

Never thought fixing things videos would be entertaining. Glad you changed my mind indefinitely. Kudos!

That poor Horizon disc has seen some things! Great video as always. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and all the best for 1M subscribers!

Christmas came early, a new video from Steve! Thanks for all of your great videos, looking forward to next year!

Nice work! I think tou have to start trying to fix those stations that have a faulty solder balls problems in APU. As long as the problem is just about reballing the chip, that's mean there is no serious problem in it! isn't? I don't know man! I am really enjoying watching you fixing things, and I think you have the skills to fix thos stations that have APU reballing issues! Wish you all the best!

Nice working keep going 👍

Merry christmas from germany for you and your family. you make great videos to learn about this subject(s).

Nice one Steve. That last video with the ribbon cable upside-down! A rookie mistake in your trade that we all make which is the equivalent to mine in carpentry. I spent 30 mins looking for a 3mm drill bit. Found it behind my ear where my pencil usually is 🤣 Love the videos dude.

Great as usual

speaking of thermal paste. I replaced it on my laptop. It's about a year old now. It works but it ran hotter than I'd like and the fan was going crazy all the time. There was a TON of thermal paste on the substrate, but almost none on the silicon. So I replaced it. It runs a lot cooler. The fan doesn't run as much as before. But it still goes crazy at times. I may replace the fan since it makes so much noise. That silicon was tiny. I know the Ryzen 4700U was a low power chip, but damn it's small. Still it's an improvement.

Hey love the videos always try fix stuff myself got a PSP broken screen how hard are they replace ? Might be above my skill level no sure

Awesome videos as always. I recently found a problem with one of my gaming consoles. 6 months after its release I bought an Xbox one. I played 2-3 hours on it. After a breakup a few years back it ended up in a moving box. A week back I dug it out to test Halo infinite. The console starts but the screen is black. Tried different monitors and hdmi cables but it didn't solve the problem. Tried to hold power + eject for the factory reset but screen remains black. I can insert and eject disks and the button sounds from the console seems to be normal. Any suggestions to how I can fix it?

Free video that I have too use my time too watch

Merry Christmas!!

My original PS4 still works after 7 years. I did have a few problems with it like disc drive, hdd and fan. I was able to fix them pretty easily. Never had any blue light of death issues luckily. Maybe it’s because I’ve replaced the thermal paste a few times which kept it alive for longer.

Hey Steve, it would be great if you could investigate the xb1s&x E106 error that’s caused by those stupid proprietary Internal-hdd-SATA cable which apparently does go bad. There’s videos of people doing a DIY with pc cables to bypass the data part of that connector which is the part of it that fails.

when you swap the cases, do you also swap the serial number stickers off the bottom of the units as well?

I had a teacher once that told us to never over analyze a problem when looking for the solution, but that easier said than done.

Service induced fault on the last one. Thats a pretty common occurrence in servicing right across the board from autos to water heaters and everything in between. There's a school of thought that says that if something is operating within tolerances you shouldn't service it.

15:14 have had stupid simple stuff get me before too lol, pisses me off in the moment but man let me tell you thats the first thing i check next time and i get a chuckle out of it afterwards

I'm curious if reflowing the APU could fix the BLOD, if even for a while. I did that with my YLOD PS3 Fat and got a couple more years out of it.

"I want to make sure you get your money's worth on this free video-" That made me chuckle 🤭

I would love to see you try and reflow the apus for the heck of it

Wouldn't attempting to reflow the APU be worthwhile to try? If the issue is indeed a cracked solder ball, it seems like reflowing it could work. I have had luck doing so on laptops that don't post.

Very nice 👌👍

@Tronicsfix is that scope I spotted there an ADSM302? If it is, I've got the same scope. Worth the $

"I can't believe I missed something like that for so long." I can. The simplest things are always the easiest to overlook. On the bright side though, it's a working special edition PS4!

Nice video 😃👍
