Nah, it's because people have figured out you can fix these reasonably easily. You used to be able to get a "new" (released less than 6 months ago) smartphone by buying 2-3 broken phones and piecing a fully working one together for 40-60% of the retail price. Good luck trying to do that now. The rise of the repair industry wiped out those low "broken" electronics prices.

The end surprised me.. You are just amazing! I'd love to learn how to fix things like you do 😄 I already started with some DS Lites and fixed 4.

This is interesting how this power on and off issue was caused by that chip. I've seen this issue once already and assumed it was caused by this but this was so early on in the consoles life compared to now that parts just weren't available for it.

You're the best bro!! ✌🏻

Patience is such a virtue . GJ

Great video Very informative

Pro-tip for anyone who wants to work on tiny things at home and doesn't have a microscope to perform/inspect their work, use a camera just about anything will work even digital zoom through a smartphone works great, which camera isn't too important what is however is getting a ring light or several lights that can illuminate the board evenly and of course having some sort of boom arm or something to hold it over your work rather than a stand sitting in the way. Seriously, anything is better than nothing and a camera is a huge improvement over using something like a magnifying glass, maybe those head magnifiers work alright, but the good ones cost more than I'm willing to put down on something I won't be using a lot.

Soon to have 1mil subs hope u get it by the end of the year

You are amazing!!!!!! You fixed that console too!!!!

The “stove top” Xbox One popped up in my recommendations, enjoyed that one and made my way to this video. Got a new sub! Great videos.

Thermal paste is no joke. When I built this computer I used an AMD Ryzen 3600 as a temporary CPU until I could find a Ryzen 5900x. I wasn't sure I did good with the thermal paste and the temps were higher than I felt were appropriate. Since it was a temp CPU I left it alone. Then I got my 5900x in and made sure I did a better job on the thermal paste. in spite of having twice the CPU cores and being a higher temperature chip, it runs 5 degrees cooler than the 3600 did. (oh and both run cooler than my old intel i7-2600 did thanks to my water cooling setup)

As usual never disappointed by the ending. It's like a good film with a happy ending, ahaha

I love how most people would have given up a lot sooner, Ik I would, mad respect man

As soon as you made the hole in the sticker my heart died a little lol
