Fascinating. I've taken the mother board out once, watching this video I can now do it in my sleep.

Watched that video several weeks ago. It makes for a good indication of what the common weak points are in the system.

Well he is able to make decent amount of money just fixing them, for what he pay for and the amount of money he can make off these units, you probably looking at at least 60 dollars per unit, so he is looking at like $1200 profit, It is easy if the person knows how to troubleshoot and solder.

I just wonder if he checks any of them to make sure they aren't banned consoles before reselling them.

Never seen him test for that, I seen few of his video, basically he try to fix them and see if their general function work, don't think he cares too much about online.

He and because I love to open up broken devices are the reasons why I'm actually fixing my third Nintendo switch.
1. Broken M92T36
2. Broken screen and patched
3. Not sure if EMMC or BQ24193 (actually waiting for parts)

Incorrect, I've even seen him swap serial code stickers when he transplants motherboards.

Fascinating stuff - he also has loads of other console vids too.

I love how easily the soldering and stuff appears for him too ...

    @K3Nv3, not directly. Mostly use bluetooth earbuds nowadays but when I do/did use IEMs I ran them through a USB C / Bluetooth DAC (FiiO BTR5, but there are newer and/or cheaper models available too)
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I just kinda miss old earbuds just dont know any with type c that have that decent bass
     +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Consider one of the cheaper USB C to 3.5mm adapters, too. It is technically a DAC as well but less featured, less powerful, and less configurable than something like the FiiO but WAY cheaper and slimmer. https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Adapter-JSAUX-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH That'll get you a lot closer to plain ol plug-in headphones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That paired with any normal IEMs. KZ ZSN Pro are the cheapies that I actually really liked lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah these look cool little dip switches https://a.co/d/0HXRfVf

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    huh that's cool, never seen those
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I could still always use my old android phone as a mp3 player but I get lost in the music and miss calls that way

    Hey guys @realtimesave and @Sicklyboy. Anybody that I had missed?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    No one else that cares

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, Here's the DAC that I use. https://www.amazon.co.uk/K1-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-DAC-Titanium-Grey/dp/B0189EVGAG
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Thanks for the like and then taking it away
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's been discontinued but you can find em second hand. It's the FiiO model K1.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ nice. I've been using my BTR5 pretty much daily, got it in late 2020. Mostly use it as a desktop DAC though and the battery has already swelled up in it once, so I had to replace it. Some day I gotta grab a proper desktop DAC that doesn't have a battery lol
     +1
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Yeah, cheap and nasty earbuds don't deliver the best mids, they end up sounding really muddy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I got mine around 2022 (iirc) and it was brand new, never opened, and for £15 too compared to paying nearly £30 elsewhere.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol
     +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Better than tree fiddy
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html
     +1
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.
     +1
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays
     +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol
