I have repaired one of these small handheld consoles before that would not power on. It turned out to be missing the firmware. There was a small card slot that was missing its storage. I found a card and downloaded the software. It came to life when it was installed. It would do nothing without it. It was not this exact model though.

Ooo interesting! Did it give the red light when plugged into charge as well? I'll have a look into that, thanks bud :)

@@JoeyDoesTech I believe you can download firmware for the Evercade from, their site. Newer consoles from Blaze update over WiFi, but this one doesn’t have WiFi. You put the firmware on over USB connection to your computer, which you demonstrated is working earlier.

Hi Joey, lithium battery at 3.7 volts is it's flat state, fully charged is 4.2. I think they state a lithium battery in its flat state because thats how you should store them. Never leave a lithium battery on charge, only charge a lithium battery when you are going to use it. If your not using your battery device leave it flat or in a used charged state. An 18v tool when charged is actually running at 21volts fully charged, 18.5 v is its flat state. Hope this helps, love your series Joey. John P.S when the charger was plugged in, the very right hand number normally fluctuates when charging yours was still meaning its not charging. But i do have a different tester from you.

It's incredible how a single capacitor knocks down an entire console in a chain.

Great Job JDT! You'll get the handheld on the stream. Thank You. 😀

You should show more on how and where you inject voltage

Hello to YA FACE, Joey! Good to hear your voice! I want to thank you for explaining what you're doing with detail. You, specifically, inspired me to try to learn hot air soldering. Bought my first hot air station a few weeks ago and have done a few lesrning projects so far. It is not as hard as it seems, to be honest. Never would have tried if it were not for these videos! So, thank you very much, Joey!

Lets go! Love that, well done 😁 Thanks for watching!

Have you tried plugging the handheld console in via HDMI to rule out a dead LCD?

What a jubbly lil repair 😮

Hey Joey, thanks for starting my weekend right with a new jdt video!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)

Not bad, never seen a cap on a disc drive PCB go bad before either. And here's hoping you can fix the other console on a live stream or similar!

On the handheld, check the bloody backlight !!! 😃

Hey Joey, just fyi, 3.7 is not fully charged, in fact it's almost empty, a 3.7v battery when charge should have around 4.2v

@hmartinlb

3.7v is the nominal voltage. It's the average voltage of the cell (between full and empty).

A 3.7V battery runs at 3.7V. Yes, it may read more fully super duper charged, but 3.7V is definitely nowhere near dead.

@@michaelgleason4791 I fix phones, in my experience when a battery is 3.70, the phone has 10% or less Of course it should show something on the screen and even turn on, not saying that that's the problem, but is definitely not fully charged nor is it at 50%

@synize5152

Its def not almost empty, voltage would be under 3.2v for lipo. 3.7v is generally a good indication battery is okay. Your mentioning about capacitance(10% usable). You cant tell that without doing a capacity test, which puts a load on the battery and determines how long it can hold that load. This would give you an idea of how much mah the battery is now and you’d depending on draw you can the calculate how much runtime you’d get, or capacity lost of the battery. Regardless of your experience, Without doing any of that you can’t say what capacity this battery is and your just having a guess, all we can say is the battery seems to be outputting the correct voltage

Now that was an interesting fix

bunny suit when?!?

What an interesting fix on the Xbox. I've never seen that one.

Great job joey the Xbox one was different and interesting. Fault wise.

Hey Joey I think I need to revisit all the one u loss on and tell us if u re sold them as faulty and update your spread sheet to reflect that

How do I check if switch is in rcm mode.can I use it on Mac or just pc

I've never heard of this console, so I'm either going out of touch with modern devices or it's an obscure console... we'll see...

Round about @12.35 I am thinking to myself perhaps you should plug it into HDMI to see if anything is coming out... could the screen be defective?

Awesome fix on the Xbox One S 👏 Really interesting fault find and totally know what you mean when you say about having that sense of achievement after a fix like that 🙂

1.15£ will get you 100 now caps :) but the joy of fixing things is priceless 🎉

Toltec had video with similar issue on Xbox one s, I got no power Xbox one s this week and unfortunately the first 12v mosfet had been hit by air strike ☹️

is it a bad backlight for the everdrive?

The evercade to me "smells" like a firmware corruption. It powers on, it presents itself as a USB device (indicates CPU active) but does not boot. No apparent short. See if you can get somehow to confirm it is stuck in a boot, or how you can reflash it or something?

When joey has less than 100£ profit from 71 episodes he fixes cheap consoles LOL

Joey does stream terror :) nice change

I don't understand why you don't have more Subs! I enjoy all of your videos and you have become a Real Pro! Bravo Brother:)

21:00 Not sure how a cable like that would have a short that you couldn't visually see.

you dont sound too well joey - hope u feel better soon !!!

Someone send Joey a Sherlock Holmes hat to wear on his stream!!

I think most of the power supplies internally have a short circuit protection in place that would it take something's wrong it goes into short circuit protection mode until you power it off and power it back on I think it's the first line of protection before something catastrophic happens whatever that might be🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Person of interest? I see you are a man of culture

Why does Joey always have a thumbnail of a brick of the devil's dandriff?

Wow 71 episodes

The Xbox was really really interesting. Never saw one like that before.

You should look into more deep dive troubleshooting. Multimeters and thermal cameras will only get you so far.

Yoooo Joeyyy wanna give me a work visa so i can move to england XD Love the work you do! keep it up

Don't spend all that profit in one place, buddy. 😢
