You should learn how to make ur own resistors at home. Or how to tweak the ones you already have.

I think that really really low value resistor was acting as a shunt so it could measure the power draw. That's why the power went through it.

I work in an industry where you just replace the board, the components are tiny. I salute you for being able to do it.

Good fix! A note though, the 10mOhm resistor could have been a current sense resistor for overcurrent detection. That's how shunt current sensors work, you feed the difference voltage from either terminal of the resistor to a differential op amp and it gives you measurable voltage from a few millivolts or less. a 0-ohm will yield 0 voltage drop, so your current sensor will always measure 0 amps. It's just a protection though, so it can work without. Cheers

Steve, when measuring small resistance (let's say less than 10 Ohms) with a handheld multimeter, you should always "zero your leads", i.e. check the reading on the multimeter with the leads shorted and, if it's not zero, substract it from the measured value. A good set of leads should read about 0.06 Ohms, which your multimeter should round up to 0.1 Ohms. If it doesn't, then the "0" Ohm resistor does indeed have some resistance. At my job I regularly measure resistances of 0.0001 Ohms or lower, so 0.01 Ohm is a fairly large one in the world of current measuring shunts.

Great Job Steve! Those pesky resistors and capacitors falling off. On a side note FB1 FB2 or FB normally means ferrite bead, not a fuse :)

I don't think they just fell off... Seems more likely that the circuit got overloaded somehow and burned up the 0 ohm resistor and torched that 100uF capacitor too.

I still remember my first zero ohm resistor fondly, I was so excited! My first room temperature superconductor! I had all kinds of stuff planned so you can probably tell how sad I was when I ran some amperage through and measured a voltage drop. :(.

Steve you need to replace that 0ohm resistor with a proper 0.01ohm 1% pronto, it might be part of the battery charging circuit and very bad things 🔥could happen if the battery is overcharged.

I'm thinking it probably acts as a shunt for sensing the battery current, either for charging or discharging. It probably won't cause an overcharge, but it might result in too much charging current, which isn't exactly good either. It might also cause issues for the accuracy of the battery percentage reading, since the current draw is usually used to compensate for the voltage drop.

The troubleshooting part never gets old. Keep it up!

Nice fix Steve! A 0,01 Ohm resistor (or any really low precize value resistor) is usually a current sensing resistor. The device is measuring the voltage drop on that specific value and then it can calculate the current draw. I do now know the entire circuit could be that it is measuring the current draw of teh device or charging current or something like this and if there would be a short for example it would know that there is an excess overcurrent so it would shut down. You might have killed this feature now because it will definitely measure some odd value.

@@StezStixFix Hi Steve, just to let you know, there are people here that has confirmed that the 0.01ohm resistor is for measuring charge current. It's critical that this is not a zero ohm resistor, because the chip that manages charge, will think that it's charging with 0Amps, because there's no voltage drop over the resistor, and keep cranking up the voltage to whatever maximum it can, which will likely destroy the battery - but I hope that it won't fail violently. Regardless, please replace that resistor before charging the battery again 🙏😊 (EDIT: I'm not saying this to steal credit, please give it to the person who looked up the diagram - I just worry about battery safety)

Likely either dropped the PCB and those components caught the brunt of it, or they've had an "oops!" moment with a screwdriver. You'll want to fit the correct value 0r01 too btw, it's how it'll measure the charge current, with that 0r link on there it'll think it's drawing a different amount of current than it actually is, unless you've got super lucky and picked one that is actually 0r01.

Amazing work, as always. Do you also offer repair / modding services?

I've seen surface mount 0-ohm resistors used a couple of ways, principally as a jumper instead of using a via to another layer to hop over another track on the PCB, I've also seen them used as a "poor man's fuse" since the component may be electronically inconsequential it still has a maximum power rating, which can be more practical than using an actual fuse ~ particularly around batteries where a fixed amperage fuse can be problematic

That resistor was for sensing the present of battery current .

I love the raps… maybe it just me, but keep it “flowing” Steve.

A mate of mine had a funny one come into his shop last week, chap brought in a motherboard missing some components and he was quite distressed as no matter what he did, the components he had changed kept falling off... so me friend said what solder are you using and the chap an older bloke said "Oh I used some of that low melt solder everyone raves on about"... mystery solved

with that barrel type power plug likely somone applied way too much voltage and the 0ohm and 100uf cap gave up to protect the rest of the board

My theory is that the guy who assembled this finished putting it together, then went for a bathroom break. On the way he overheard that everyone was going to get fired, so he went back and performed component surgery out of spite. That day they also fired the QA guy who would have been responsible for this, so all the items on his plate got pushed through.

Mate you are a great content maker, eewww I can believe I said content maker... Mate you make great videos, always make me smile, keep up the good work 😊

That was Battery Current Sense. The charge chip diverts a portion of the USB charge voltage to the battery for charging. The charge chip outputs the voltage towards the battery. To ensure the current is normal, the charge chip samples the voltage before and after it passes the resistor. Without the resistor the charge chip thinks there is a short and will not charge or supply power to the battery.

I have a little HH console. It looks like a Game boy that's been shrunk in wash. It plays a lot of games from Regular GB, CB Colour, GB Advance, NES, Master System, MegaDrive, Snes, N64, Game Cube, PS1, and MAME. The only trouble is the screen is tiny and a bit shit. And some games require more buttons then the system has. But it was only £25 and it came with a 64G SD card filled with over 4000 roms.
