I've seen a few of these videos, and I wanted to see for myself if it's possible to actually make money from one of these things.
I picked it up from eBay for £66 in total... Is anything going to be faulty, or is it just a pile of random crap? Or, maybe, a bit of both!
Let's fix what we can and see how much money can potentially be made from these things...
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

As someone who worked in PCB manufacturing for a decade, I can tell you that the small metal shavings you had in the streaming box are extremely common, especially with cheap manufacturers. For the grounded parts of the connector, check for the largest soldering tip you can get. As ground is a large layer and you also heat up the whole connector when soldering, you really need a lot of heat that's hard to dissipate by either one of them. Depending on the soldering iron, you can get some very thick spade types you can also use for BGA reballing. Otherwise a thick chisel tip will work okay. Makes everything so much easier. Little edit: I've been working with a Weller RT station and their tips, I'd highly suggest that, as it makes working extremely comfortable. But the price might be a little much. Completely worth it though. You can even find DIY versions of an arduino soldering station for the tips, which only causes you to have to buy the expensive tips. However, it's absolutely worth it, can't recommend them enough.

@KevinHallSurfing 3 месяца назад

"As ground is a large layer" 15 years with Honeywell ('77 to '91) repairing multi layer PCB's and PWB's for mainframes and peripherals. Faulty IC's especially difficult soldering them in and was a task but with the PACE soldering station it wasn't too bad once you got used to it. Of course Weller was used as well mainly for in the field.

@dougle03 2 месяца назад

Also worth putting a plug in the socket to help prevent the plastics moving things out of alignment...

@ProtonOne11 Месяц назад

For me, getting a JBC soldering station with theT245 handle was already a game changer to rework boards with heavy copper planes. And the selection of tips they offer has something for every issue. I really like the very wide tips to change out broken connectors, as you can just heat up the full row of pins at once, and it has the power to actually not struggle with the pins attached to power planes. They have square ones as well to desolder ICs, really nice that you don't need to heat up all of the board to just swap one component. If that would not be enough, you could even get the heavy duty station with the biggerT470 handle that has a 250W heating element. These tools are not cheap tho, so it really makes more sense in the professional work where you need them almost every day. The Weller RT tips with a little "DIY" solderin station are not bad either, we have some of them as well on some other desks. When it comes to soldering tweezers, i actually prefer the Weller over the JBC tweezers for the handling.

Well done Steve! Excellent video with multiple fixes, which as far as I'm concerened is a BONUS! With an Extra BONUS: Most of these types of videos when completed say "I've made (X) profit"! Which absolutely infuriates me as there is ZERO profit unless you have actually sold the items. You on the other hand Steve are correct when you said that the profit would be if you sold them, which might be a tiny difference to some, but for me is EXACTLY how to do these repair and profit videos. Love ya brother 👍💖

Very true indeed. Who wants to actually buy second hand ear buds, some unknown persons ear wax is coming your way soon..🤢🤮 Plus, nobody seems to "factor in" the time spent trying to sell items. The RU-vidr known as "My Mate Vince" tends not to sell stuff he has repaired because , he states, isn't qualified to repair. That's fair enough, but then it's only an earner from RU-vid and a fast track to the landfill site.🤷🏼‍♂!

@knightnevermore 4 месяца назад

nice fixes, as always. The thing that always gets me with this Amazon returns is the audacity some people have. They are using a product for months and then kill the USB port. And since it's still in the warranty time, they just return it for whatever reason (stopped working) and it just goes straight to these returns resellers or into the trash, because Amazon surely doesn't care about them being fixed. So good job, giving those products a second life because some people are just too careless with their stuff and Amazon also doesn't give a damn about our planet's resources. I hope you get your money plus a good bonus back from ebay for those items!

I bought that CAT thermal phone as customer return. It was rated as "perfect". It was a good deal for me as I've never would've bought it, but it was like 1/4 priced. It arrived and I was really happy to see it powerup and seemingly working. But after I installed SIM card I noticed after like few mins that I'm not getting operator logo's or anything. Luckily I just send message to this webshop with their claim form and stated that I would rather have it fixed than refunded if possible. It worked just fine. It was on repairs for like couple weeks, but got it back now fully working. I think it was prime example how they don't test items 100% throughly, which of course makes a lot of sense. Big webshop it would take ages to actually do phone call with returned item. It's weird to see stuff returned.

As far as quality control goes, my Grandma was a quality assurance lead at IBM. You can't test every piece of a production run if you're making thousands of units. So you test random samples. So it's very likely you'll get a number of production errors from an outside factory.

I think that small blob thing was just a glob-top (chip-on-board) hiding some very small IC. You can tell there are traces going into it, so it wasn't a plastic post holding it in. The moment he melted the epoxy and scrubbed in there with the iron whatever was inside was probably destroyed. Not that it really matters, since these things are a nightmare to repair anyways.

Hi Steve, That copper sheet inside the DAB radio looked more like screening than an antenna. Some radio devices use headphones or cables plugged into them for antennas. I can't say that for sure in this case, but as that copper sheet was sandwiched between the radio pcb and battery, it wasn't in a good spot for an antenna.

You could try putting 5V and around 100mA on those disks (mind the polarity lol) to check if it works at all, it should at least turn on with some voltage coming through...

No sound, but touch controls were working fine. Right side was working perfectly. I tried to factory reset according to the user manual and it didn't work. Because it was still under warranty I contacted Amazon through their customer service channel and they provided me a different factory reset procedure. According to them, there were two versions of the same product but with different settings. I tried the alternative solution and It worked like a charm. It has been 3 years now and it still works fine.

Fyi, for the future. The light looks like it's flickering due to camera shutter speed. You can see it on most lighting sources through a lens, like flourecent tubs and such. If it's affecting the video, you can try fiddling around with the exposure settings, setting the right "wave length" with the shutter speed and compensate with the aperture and Iso. I'm sure there's some available charts to use.

Hi Steve, what were you looking for in the descriptions on ebay? I have wanted to try these kind of boxes before

Hi Steve. Great video as always. Are any of these still for sale?

Where would one get one of these returns boxes in the UK? I found place online, but they have a £250 minimum spend, so assuming you didnt get it from there.

I think the strap of the watch pulls off to reveal a usb and you can just plug it straight in to a usb plug no charger required. Hope this helps I got my son a very similar Lenovo one

Hi Steve, what is the little board that you used to boost start the battery, and where did you get it ? I have a pair of earbuds that I wish to try and get the charging started on. Kind regards, THU.
