I bought this Blaze Evercade Handheld off of from off eBay for £40. It doesn't appear to charge, nor power on.
Let's try and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

I can not stress this enough; always keep your struggles in these videos. It is refreshing and comforting to see what really happens in a repair. I recently struggled 7 hours of building a PC and not knowing why it wouldn't boot. Wife kindly pointed out I never plugged in the CPU power lead. As soon as VO Steve was interrupted by the intermission - I felt that. Congrats again on the 100K Subs. Have an amazing weekend!

That's because quite often even in electronics being close enough is enough.
@flandrble

These components often have quite a wide voltage range within the narrow 2-5v total range typically so as long as the pinout is right, close enough is often good enough.

I haven't seen that trick with the alcohol to check for overheating components. I'll keep that in mind as I tinker and teach myself this stuff. Among other small projects, I recently replaced a power jack on my brother's gaming laptop for him, and I replaced an HDMI port on a Series X. I've been teaching myself to reball on junk boards that I have as well.

A couple of comments if I may? Just because the meter bleeps doesn't mean something is short cct, it could be a low resistance such as a coil and it's not a good idea to prize a lithium battery out unless you have an "Explosion Containment Pie Dish" to hand. I believe IPA can loosen the bond.

Hi mate, just discovered your channel recently and been going through a load of your vids, i noticed that you semi regularly have trouble with parts you don't want to remove getting knocked off etc... when using your hot air, have you considered using some kapton tape? you can just place it over everything in the local area, and it will stop it getting blown off/any other damage.

3:54 - Two of the pins you pushed on the USB port, moved, they were not solid........look back, you see the solder pucker to one side as you push. No matter though as the port is marmalised anyway. But solid the 3rd and 4th pin from left were not ;) Also, a nice typo in your title; "I bought this Blaze Evercade Handheld off of from off eBay for £40"

Also when you did the ‘solid’ test it looked like two of the pin did move in the video. Watch again, it looks like stress marks appear in the solder. Pretty moot though, because as you then discovered the internal of the socket were a mess so it needed replacing anyway. Also didn’t like the way the LiPo battery distorted when you were prising it off.
