Pip-Boy 3000 Upgrade with Working Buttons, Rechargeable lights, & Charging Stand

While the Fallout 4 Pip-boy Edition made a great collectible and was a fun way to interact with the game, it had several limitations. Unless you had the right sized phone, it didn’t fill the screen. The buttons were prone to breaking, only two lights lit up, and once the phone was inside, there was no way to push the power or home buttons. In this episode, we paint and modify the model to light up fully and have working buttons. We also add rechargeable batteries and modify the stand to charge the Pip-boy. Not shown in the video, I added a needle from a watch to the Geiger counter.

Hey man, I really feel bad hearing you have an autoimmune sickness, I know what it entails, must be hell, hope you feel better soon. One final question about the Fo4 Pipboy, the leds you added, did you also replace the two originals or just leave them? Also I really wanna show you mine when it's done, do you ever do show and tell type stuff? I did the base too in black on silver rusted, figured that it should get the premium treatment too.

I had to because they used only 3v leds and button for that watch battery. I went with 5-9 or 12.

I had customized a replica (toy) lightsaber using a lot of these same methods. However, when it came to things like screws, I opted to cut off the plastic "screw" then drill in guide holes, and add actual screw heads. Took a while to track down screws that would fit each part, but once they were in, I clipped off a majority of the screw to prevent interference with the rest of the build, then superglued them in from the back. I love adding little things like that to give a piece more a sense of real-ness. 😃

Your upgrade looks and WORKS so much better than the vanilla Pip-Boy 3000 replica. I spent almost $400 on the deluxe "functional" version when it released (If my memory serves me correctly) and I only turned it on twice for a few minutes each time, and put it back in the case to store until I had shelf space for it. A year later, I pulled it out to use it as the clock in my man cave.......and it locked up on the boot-up screen. It hasn't worked since. After googling the issue, I found entire threads of this happening to (seemingly) nearly everyone who bought one. And even when they returned them to the company for a free repair, they still wouldn't work. I never could find a fix for it. So now, I have a $400 paper weight on my shelf. Really stupid when you think that the only thing it had to run was a fake boot-up screen, a hand full of what's basically screensavers for each menu, a radio, a clock and a rudimentary sound card........................................It's a glorified bedside clock that can't function. What a waste of my money. I would have been better off getting the basic one you have and buying a cheep throwaway phone to download the app on for the screen. At least then it would still be working. I wish I could send it to you for repair...

Great job usual OneNote however you forgot a third option with the letters you could final print them that kind of sloppy you can use the stencil again kind of sloppy because you'll lose half the letter in the A and the D what the third option is to print a water slide decal unclear water slide paper then you print it the right size you put it where you need to be and boom it's there like any other decal and it looks good and won't go anywhere. Great build with the lighting and all your little enhancements the inside was a little sloppy but you're not gonna see it so I guess it doesn't really matter I always go at the internals like it's gonna be sold so it's gotta be neat but that's just me.

I do not own the deluxe, but know this is the most common problem. Unfortunately, this was not made by the wand company. The company that made it no longer exists.

You can also try turn your Pip Boy Unit off Turn the feature select knob to DATA, then hold the flashlight button down. Turn the unit on Continue to hold the flashlight button down (past the boot-up vaultboy) until you see a factory reset message on the bottom of the screen. Good luck.

Do you have any insight on how to fix the Bluetooth edition that is defective? I have one and I want it to work so bad.

@YourGeekFix Год назад

Unfortunately there is no fix I know of. The company that made it also no longer exists. Wish I had better news. They all seem to break, get stuck in loops, and are hard to reflash.

@YourGeekFix Месяц назад

@The-Lone-Patriot I didn't solder anything. A charging cable on one side goes to the battery. The battery to a battery clip that has the two lights wired to it. Check the description.

@morgenmuffel12345 2 года назад

Great Video. Just as a little idea; how about using the repaired button on top as an extended mechanism to hit the lock botton of the phone? I was thinking about modifying my Pip-Boy aswell but I don't want to break the hinge mechanism. Therefore, my idea was to have something like the end of a paperclip pushing through a small hole underneath the hinge onto the lock button. This could then be fixated with a screw/spring and then elongated below said button. This is just a thought of mine, I have no clue if this would practically work.

@YourGeekFix 2 года назад

With where the lock button is on the phone, I had to use that hinge. Also had no plan to reopen the pipboy afterwards. It is easy to get phones that are very cheap, $20 in this case, that can make that work really well.

I have a question about this build: in the Pip-Boy 2000 build you ended up replacing the plastic screen with a piece of magnifying sheet to emulate the convex shape of the display. Is there any reason why you opted to not include that in this build? Thank!

@YourGeekFix 2 года назад

Good question. The down side of those sheets is that they dim the screen from other angles. The 2000 has a hood that makes it work better. I wanted this visible from any angle and clear.
