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 ...

    So true
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Sorry didnt read that part
