How much do you think I can get for the bag? 🤔

7:08 that BGA doesn't look factory, if the seller is a repair shop they may have just swapped out bad APU's then sold them on eBay

[G.h.i.x]

i'm very inspired by your work, i recently replaced a hdmi port on ps4 for the first time and i feel like every video you make is basicly a tutorial we all can learn from thanks!

[mrbridger]

That MOSFET you replaced a number of times due to looking short happens on good ones too. After the capacitors discharge, it shows normal again. I have a board with exactly the same symptoms that I still haven't worked out. If I run the console 12v off the bench supply, it cycles drawing up to 1.5A and then restarts, it does this a number of times. Once it's finished cycling, you can power it up and stays on for longer, but still won't stay on properly. I think it could be a Southbridge issue.

I have no idea about tech repairs but love watching to see if you are able to fix stuff

To be fair, you haven't lost out completely on that - the 1TB HDD, 500GB HDD, PSU's, disk drive, and outer cases would net you the £40 if you sold the components on. Plus you have that carry case thing, that they were shipped in! :)

You forgot the game on Sally's Spectacular Spreadsheet.

[Coopzzz]

I always set the seller type to private rather than business, and I check previously sold items. Usually gives you an idea of who you can and can’t trust.

[TheSkaldenmettrunk]

I think the seller exactly knew what he sold there.. what a shame.. Oh and the Game hasn't found ti's way to Sally.

Mosfets usually blow because of the load, so you should inject at the drain or source depending on the mosfet type

[jacobmcnabb]

why not try a new psu? i've seen those fail so many times. they like to, in my experience, give off power in pulses or unable to give full power after a pretty bad over heating. just my experience. love the videos man!

[adagioleopard]

Lol! Copper slip! That's a sort of lubricant. I've used that as thermal paste before. It is conductive so really bad idea if you're not careful

[Mrflash]

check U9F1 (APU side) at the bottom right of the PCB, iirc it is the voltage reg for the memory these suffer from heat and fluid ingress due to their location

[lukedorrington]

May be unrelated but I had that model of xbox and after a software update it started doing exactly the same thing, microsoft actually took it back and replaced it for free outside of warranty

[TUUK]

That chip on the corner of the APU is going to cause no problems whatsoever.

[triplexdread]

That looked like copper slip for brake pads...BAAAAD

[dany-psmy]

I call it something different than being finessed lol

[newCrysis]

Heatsink on and unplug fan. Replaced fans on two old x-box systems, they are usually very reliable, but sometimes fail.

[popaandrei]

Inject voltage at the coil after the two mosfets to check if something is shorted after them.

[MasterJediSean]

I wonder if that weird thermal paste (that gold crap) has some kind of metallic content and is in someway bridging the caps on the APU. Try cleaning all of that gunk off and try again. Worth a shot. Also did you test the caps on the backside of the southbridge? Cheers Joey!
