Back in 2023, I paid $80 for this broken blue PSP. It's a fairly rare handheld but it wasn't working because a repair shop had tried to repair it by replacing the screen but ended up causing more damage. Initially the PSP wouldn't even turn on and I found it wasn't put back together correctly. There were also things that needed to be fixed on the motherboard before I could bring this handheld back to life.

Even though this is from a while back, I still can't believe the repair shop didn't fix this Xbox properly. The seller of this Xbox Series X took it to a repair shop for HDMI port repair but after spending $400 it only worked for about a month before it went back to not showing an image on the screen. So I take it apart to see if we can figure out what went wrong. And get it working again, of course. | TronicsFix

Four of my viewers sent me devices that they tried to repair but weren't able to - to see if I can get them working again. Two Xbox Series S consoles, a Nintendo Switch Lite, and a Nintendo 2DS XL. Plus, I'll be working on a PS4 Pro that I mostly fixed previously but still needs a bit more work. Plus check us out on Discord: https://discord.gg/tronicsfix | TronicsFix

One of my viewers sent me this Xbox Series X after a repair shop told them it was "unfixable." The disc drive makes very strange noises and this could be a pretty tricky fix since Xbox Series disc drives are married to the motherboard. But I'm pretty confident this console is fixable.

$275 to Fix this PS5...WHAT???! My viewer took their PS5 to a local repair shop after the HDMI port broke. The shop charged them their normal fee and then later an additional fee to try to fix the console but were never able to actually get it working. So the console was sent to me to see if I can figure it out. Send Us Your Broken Console: https://tronicsfix.com/pages/viewer-electronics-repair-submissions | TronicsFix

I think this might be my favorite repair shop scam video this year. My viewer took their PS5 to a local repair shop after the HDMI port broke. The shop charged them their normal fee and then later an additional fee to try to fix the console but were never able to actually get it working. I hate it when my viewers get scammed - but it's going to happen so we might as well get some entertainment out of seeing what happened and if I can fix it.

Yep, in this video I take a bunch of LEGO bricks and build a working LEGO Xbox Series X. That means not only building it but also cutting holes for the buttons and ports, fitting everything inside, and, of course, made sure it worked when I was done. ►Tools & Parts I Use (paid link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/tronicsfix ►TronicsFix Game Console Repair

This repair sparked a bit of controversy when I first posted it… Did I really fix it - or does it not count? You be the judge. I bought this Special Edition God of War PSP from a seller who claimed he "didn't have time to fix it" after he broke it "replacing the battery." When powered on, the PSP had no display at all. So in this video we dig in, diagnose the issue, and see if this rare handheld can be brought back to life. | TronicsFix

Nathan bought a broken PS4 Pro to try to fix, replaced the HDMI port, and got it working... for a while. It eventually stopped working and he couldn't get it working again. So he sent it to me to see if I can fix it. Oh, and did I mention, Nathan is only 12 years old? I'm always inspired by stories from my viewers who try to fix their own electronics. It's really intimidating when you're first starting out and Nathan did a very good job with his first PS4 repair attempt. Check out our 2 desk mat

The seller told me they only had their Switch 2 for one week before it stopped working. They sent it in for a warranty repair but Nintendo refused. So they sold it to me to see if I can fix it and if I find anything that looks like liquid damage. This one really surprised me!

I found this old repair video in my archives. Videos like this always end up being a bit divisive: Did I actually repair it? Or did I just replace stuff? I bought this Taco Bell Limited Edition Xbox One X for $168 (plus shipping) on eBay in 2022. According to the seller, it had a power on/off issue. The Xbox was clearly opened before and seemed like it was having an overheating issue when I tried to start it up. But it needed a lot more work than just the perfect amount of thermal paste! | Troni

I paid $124 for this broken Taco Bell Gold PS4. The seller bought it broken and then their friend tried to fix it. Since the friend couldn't fix it, I get to see if I can figure out what's wrong and get it working again. ►Tools & Parts I Use (paid link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/tronicsfix ►TronicsFix Game Console Repair Forum: https://www.tronicsfixforum.com/ | TronicsFix

I paid $700 for this rare, special edition white Xbox. Only 1,000 of these were sold and it was a Japan exclusive so I was really excited to be able to buy it. It won't fully start up and the hard drive is making clicking noises but I'm hopeful I can get it working again. ►TronicsFix Discord: https://discord.gg/tronicsfix ►Tools & Parts I Use (paid link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/tronicsfix ►TronicsFix Game Console Repair Forum: https://www.tronicsfixforum.com/ | TronicsFix

The initial problem was a damaged HDMI port. The dad replaced the port but it still didn't work when he got it back together. It's a challenging repair and I'll be impressed if he didn't cause any damage during the process. | TronicsFix

I bought 3 broken robot vacuums from eBay to see if I could fix them. All three were Roomba vacuums and there were several different problems including one with a weird vibration/noise and one that had an error 31 issue. I've maybe repaired one similar vacuum years ago but don't have much experience with repairing these so I'm definately not an expert. Sometimes it's fun to try something new though and see how it goes. Do you have a robot vacuum? Share your thoughts on robot vacuums in general o

The viewer that sent in this Nintendo 64 said it sat for over 20 years in a shed. When he eventually found it, he sent it to a repair shop to be repaired - but they broken it even worse. So now it's my turn to see if I can get this rare console working again.

I don't work on laptops very often but here's one I worked on a few years ago that was a pretty satisfying fix. A viewer named Josiah tripped and landed on his laptop which broke the power button. So he sold it to me to see if I could fix it without having to replace the entire motherboard. Unfortunately a replacement part was not available so I had to get creative with this repair.

I paid $900 for a pallet of broken DeWalt, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Ridgid, Craftsman, and Porter Cable power tools to see if I could fix them. These are customer returns so the actual condition is unknown but I'll be checking them all out, diagnosing issues, and fixing as many as I can. ►Tools & Parts I Use (paid link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/tronicsfix ►TronicsFix Game Console Repair Forum: https://www.tronicsfixforum.com/ | TronicsFix
