Ebola diarrheea in your eyes

dude you should do a series of fixing your fans retro consoles for a price of course I would pay for gameboy advance sp to be fixed just a suggestion is all

I was thinking the same thing haha =D

He's probably training for watch restoration 👌

I've found the more rigid the 'tweezers' are the better they are for this kind of thing. Part of what makes most tweezers so fiddly is how springy they are. This springiness is undesirable for maximum control. The best pair of tweezers i've ever owned weren't tweezers at all but instead intended for pulling splinters. They were more like scissors that met at a razor sharp point and were totally rigid.

best comment ever!!!

Soo long

too nice actually

Fake copy of blue

@@alessiiscano1720 the kid's copy was

@@alessiiscano1720 what?

@@Clanps the Kids copy?

As someone who has used eBay for years and has sold unwanted items over that time, I can say with certainty that a warranty sticker would make no difference to a INAD case if a buyer decided to return a different motherboard. Ebay is completely biased to the buyer which is understandable as they are the users making the site the most money. In a return dispute ebay will side with the buyer 99.9% of the time as the seller can't prove what was actually sent out. If a buyer is dodgy the ebay money back guarantee make it very easy to scam a seller.

@@TheAlphaWolf2013 Yes and no, I have sold things and been scammed such as the time someone pretended to not be in so the item went to their local depot, opened a INR case won then collected under a hour later! But I have had multiple Ebay accounts banned due to me returning too many items so they see me as a "danger to the community" basically I say buy a good quality lead and its Poundland quality and maybe even stock, or I buy something advertised as mint condition and its bashed about and may not even work. And I have had dodgy sellers accuse me of sending back the wrong item and/or that something was "working" when sent to me. Each time I have to go to Paypal or my credit card company to get the cash back. It truly is a nightmare for any legit people and a haven for scammers.

@@revengenerd1 Oh I've definitely had to deal with a dodgy seller before. Bought a phone that turned up in worse condition than described. Open a returns case and the seller accused me of lying and proceeded to drag the case out for as long as possible before finally refunding me.

The warranty sticker comes from an awesome eBay seller Retro Awesome. Use them all the time and always impressed with the parts they send me. Super nice guy who’s been very helpful with my builds when I have a question

@@captainamerica2931 They can't be too awesome if they're putting those warranty void of removed stickers on their items.

I like how I have eyes and ears to know that...

@@JAIDEN-RODRIGUEZ bruh

bro liked everyones comment exept yours

Didn't even seem like the guy offered a penny. I would've at least sent $50 to start with and ask what's owed before he returns it. So either we missed a part of the story or this guy is straight up scamming our boy Elliot

@@ATF_CA my point exactly. The guy deserves to be compensated for his time and expertise.

He also sent a load of random snacks and cereals so I guess he thought that was payment enough in his mind

My thought was the fellow was on the autism spectrum. A lot of times folks on the spectrum don't even think about that. It's like self awareness is impacted by autism (just a guess as someone who is on the spectrum and has autistic family), or like you kind of just operate assuming that if someone's not cool with something they just won't accept your request, but it comes off as rude to neurotypical people snoot of the time. One thing that makes it seem even more likely to me is that he was just like "Elliot, I want you to fix my Game Boy". Again, it seems like something you would say if you weren't very self aware. I could be completely wrong, of course. Was just the first thing that came to my mind.

Acting like he’s giving off a luxury vehicle lmao, relax lol, “gasped” like chill lol.

@@localprime8868 A luxury car? What are you talking about? I didn't audibly gasp because of the value of the item. It was such a cute and pure thing he did. What he did for the kid goes beyond face value. So what that they cost maybe almost £100, that was from his collection. It was so nice. 🥺

@@TR-kg7lh reading comprehension isn’t a strength of yours is it? For that reason I won’t bother replying further. Keep on glazing

@@localprime8868 Ohhh. I get it. You're a troll. Have a nice day. Lol!!

@@TR-kg7lh 👈🏽🤡🤡

If i remember correctly thats almost exclusively what he was doing (with gameboys) when i first found his channel and subbed, its nice to revisit these types of videos

@@panthastaa34 yep, check some of his older videos and that was his main thing for a while

Yes! I totally agree!

I once repaired my Pokémon Center New York GBA. It turns out the ribbon cable connecting the screen to the motherboard came loose. I also replaced the sun-damaged screen with a perfect one from a scrapped donor system (luckily they both had 40-pin screens).

The person that sent it to him is just a kid who probably didn't consider the time & expense it would cost to fix it. If it was a grown ass adult that sent him their Gameboy though, I'd agree with you.

@@benmac6147 this "kid" had to have been over the age to legally drive and you are saying he didn't think it cost money to fix something?

@@Ninetaled I didn't pay much attention to how old this guy looks but he looked like a kid to me. Who knows what he thought when he sent his Gameboy. I'm sure he didn't properly think it through though.

I'm with you but you should consider that the kid gave him content, and this content probably made Elliot more money than he could have gained from the repair, if he monetizes videos that is.

@@nateKitsura I dont think you realize how little youtube actually pays in ad revenue lol. RU-vidrs mostly make money from sponsors. This vid at 100k views id guess made around £300ish, which sounds alot but remember Elliot did quite a bit of work on this, used many of his own parts and even gave his own copy of blue to the guy. Those parts arent cheap these days.

I mean u could easily get anyone else to do it for a normal price without all that but nice support for the creator

That's likely what happened, probably bought it working and then it broke days/weeks later. Does seem weird that it would work for a small period of time even with a botched repair job but older Nintendo consoles can be tanks at times.

He is a human? I mean, yeah, obviously.

My guess is it started being faulty and he sent it to someone else to fix at first, then the other person botched it and lied about the extent of the damage or was unaware themselves about how bad they'd botched it.

@@mango8616 Didn't even think about that. Would explain why the owner had no clue why it was broken if he was being honest. He could have very well sent it in to someone else, they tried and failed, made the issue worse and never disclosed the damage.

@@smolmuffin I mean, there's a DMG Gameboy that _SURVIVED THE BOMBING OF A MILITARY BASE WITH FULL FUNCTIONALITY,_ so yeah, early Nintendo systems are tanks. Now JoyCons, on the other hand, drift if you so much as _look at them_ the wrong way.
