1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,000
pretty much everyone and their dog has a side hustle these days and dog walking

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:11,880
or Uber driving might work for some people but I'm better with tech than I

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:17,920
am with organisms what's a socially awkward penguin to do hang on I've got

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:22,000
it there's all this broken Tech all over

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,880
sites like eBay and Craigslist maybe I

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:31,599
could fix it up and flip it for profit man where to start I mean I used

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,120
to be pretty good at fixing pins so

8
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:38,719
here's what we're going to do we're going to buy some four parts am4

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,920
processors that don't look too far gone we're going to set a timer fix them and

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:50,480
find out how much we can pay ourselves to do this kind of work with minimal

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,160
Tools H how about this one this one this

12
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,640
one this one this one this one this one and this

13
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,480
one well I mean they're not here yet but

14
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:05,519
while we wait how about we do the Segway to our sponsor MSI It's Autumn and

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:11,759
leaves aren't the only thing that's falling it's prices too msi's fall Ready

16
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:16,360
Halls sale is here to help you save on your next laptop gaming handheld and

17
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,680
more check out the sale using our Link in the video description before we could

18
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:25,520
try to fix anything something already went wrong we ordered a total of six

19
00:01:22,759 --> 00:01:30,040
CPUs but as you can see I'm holding only five thankfully the one that didn't show

20
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:35,560
up was canceled and refunded by the the seller so we haven't lost any money at

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,880
least not yet let's give everybody their assignments I've never unbent CPU pins

22
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:43,399
before but I think I'm a good candidate for this because I'm a fairly handy guy

23
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,799
I'm a fairly DIY guy like I've ran out of kitchen before I can do things but

24
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:52,079
I've never done this uh it's been a while since I've done this but I have

25
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:56,680
repaired pins on like older CPUs before and like CPU sockets and motherboards so

26
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,200
I've got some experience at least just not super recent I have fixed bent pins

27
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:06,560
oh all right that's about as far as I've gotten I've never soldered pins my

28
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:11,080
experience level is pretty low but of

29
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,640
the probably I'd say 10 to 30 CPUs that

30
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:19,280
I fixed over the years I have above a 90% success rate all right so I get a

31
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:21,879
50700 x and how many problem pins are

32
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:26,680
there okay first thing I'll say is these are really small I could like naked eye

33
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,040
this but it would be a lot harder I'm grateful for this thing this is actually

34
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:33,720
a good way to check as you can see they're all orderly and you can see gaps

35
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:39,760
between each row so if there's anything that's walked over you would see it fill

36
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,480
that Gap the only bent pins are on the

37
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:47,360
corners over here and over here this is a game changer having it on this thing

38
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:51,319
there they are Three Amigos this microscope is so sweet this

39
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,480
is going to make it so much easier oh there's more B pins than I thought on

40
00:02:52,959 --> 00:03:00,360
this corner I thought it was one but it's four maybe may even six two things

41
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,000
I'm worried about with this task is number one I don't know how many times

42
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,319
you can bend it this way and that before it just snaps right off number two I

43
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,879
don't know if these are solid gold or just plated and I worry that if I were to grab it with like a plier that I

44
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,799
would strip off a coating and then it would no longer function as it's supposed to do you know the answer to

45
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:21,640
these questions I do not I'm still out of four confidence but I don't know if I

46
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:24,120
can do it in an hour but maybe I can do it in 10 minutes I really don't know I'm

47
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:29,360
going to start with a spudger and the microscope and let's go oh my God the

48
00:03:27,239 --> 00:03:33,879
spudger is like wider than the gap between Rose I may not be able to use

49
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:38,000
this tool okay I might use a razor blade instead

50
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,560
okay the other thing I don't know is how straight do they need to be what's the

51
00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:46,280
margin for error looking at the socket each pin has a hole so if it's off a bit

52
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,720
it should just get snapped into place that's the theory not snapped in the bad

53
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:54,599
way snapped in the good way you don't want to have to force it but like it's got a tiny bit of give at least almost

54
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:58,239
looks like I'm done here but but then when you turn it this way you're like oh

55
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:02,280
yeah those I need a helping hand so cuz I I can I use my nose just the focus

56
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:05,720
okay so I previously was working on these ones and now I'm going to go over

57
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:09,840
to this one so this is a mechanical pencil and the tip is a hollow cylinder

58
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,519
and apparently you can actually fit the pins in that Hollow cylinder and then just manipulate them that way I think I

59
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,720
can give that a shot cuz I love the idea of just being able to use a tool you

60
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,639
might have lying around the house I got her on there now the question is will I

61
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:28,440
give have enough feedback to like know what's happening that looks really straight up and down we'll pull it off

62
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,440
did we get make progress oh yeah not bad

63
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:35,320
it's not perfect yet that one is still wonky that one right on the corner I'm I

64
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,800
am digging this Pencil Trick but I don't know if I can get these ones cuz they're

65
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,560
so leaned over they're touching the neighbor yeah I don't think this pencil is going to work for this application

66
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:48,160
all right where's my trusty razor blade this is like when Luke just uses the

67
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,160
force instead of that tracking

68
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,080
system I think I'm I'm pretty good here guys going into this I thought the

69
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:58,800
definition of bent pin was like really leaned over and now I'm realizing it

70
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:05,400
might just be like a little leaned over and that is worrisome

71
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:09,800
aha oh she's in all right let's send

72
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:14,600
it let's go 21 and A2 minutes CPU

73
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,600
information AMD ryzen 5700 x 8 core

74
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,919
processor plof that's the win condition you see plof you win Cent is running

75
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:26,759
fine all the numbers are within expectations so I'd say we're done we

76
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,810
made the money I hope the other guys are doing at least this well but

77
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,269
who

78
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,000
knows all right what do we got it's it

79
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,319
looks like a couple of rows are bent but I think maybe I can get them all at the

80
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,400
same time with like a razor or something I like to stick it onto something a

81
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:52,639
little more substantial to hold on to just to make it easier so i' got some

82
00:05:50,919 --> 00:05:57,160
double-sided tape on a cork here probably better than a half dozen bent

83
00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:01,000
pins but they're not very bent this is

84
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,199
almost like Not Bent enough like I don't

85
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,960
think I would have tried to sell this on eBay I would have tried to fix it I'm

86
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,080
pretty happy with that to be honest I think that's pretty

87
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,440
good I think this is a broken ship that someone just kind of creatively bent cuz

88
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:23,160
I would have tried to fix that myself all right here goes nothing

89
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:26,520
3700x running 3600 mahz voltages are

90
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:30,000
good CPU looks good let's see if we

91
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:32,280
Windows here we go

92
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:40,069
that guy again everything looks okay to me let's see a c bench yeah not too

93
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:48,360
bad M let's take a look at your chip okay this one I probably the one labeled

94
00:06:45,599 --> 00:06:52,680
me three pins on the very corner it seems oh and I see maybe one that's bent

95
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:58,240
in the bottom right corner by the triangle so three missing pins and a

96
00:06:55,759 --> 00:07:02,720
slightly bent pin all right but three pins all beside other on the edge there

97
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:06,960
and like the most open Edge the corner I'm probably I I think

98
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,720
I'm we'll find out the confidence is jumping up yeah

99
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:15,759
jumping all over the place right like uh all

100
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:22,280
right I I am not having fun I think even

101
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:23,759
if my life depended on this I would die

102
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,039
I like genuinely would not be able to get this

103
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:36,479
done ah I I think it's dust yeah I think I got to call it I'm sorry no worries

104
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:36,479
man you just give it a good

105
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,280
try I hear you need some help Elijah had

106
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:47,440
some trouble with uh soldering on some missing pins there I have tons of

107
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,639
soldering experience and working on small electronics so I figured I might

108
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:55,080
be able to do something all right so I'm I'm going to give a shot uh so yellow

109
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,479
one to five then how confident are you probably about to six okay that's off

110
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:06,360
The Confident all right take a look all right yeah he uh he mashed that one

111
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,479
pretty good eh see for me it's not the

112
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,479
getting them off part that's going to be difficult it's the getting them back on

113
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:16,919
part is going to be fun first things first probably try just straightening

114
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:21,000
out the ones that are still there are you still at a six uh steadily dropping

115
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:26,120
down to a four so glad this isn't like a for real

116
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:32,039
these things cuz I would have been fired no way all done all done got one that's

117
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:37,640
time heck so how many more do you have to do

118
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:42,120
uh eight okay that's not too bad though you think it's a viable side

119
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:46,040
hustle not replacing pins unbending them sure but if you're replacing them

120
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:50,120
there's no feasible way to make a dollar off this all right thank

121
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,320
you now it's my turn oh dude oh there's

122
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:03,600
a bad one I don't want any hints I don't want know how oh dude there oh there's

123
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:08,920
two like that oh dang those are both pretty mangled and there's a fair number

124
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:14,760
of other ones with minor bends all along the edges here what did they do to you

125
00:09:11,959 --> 00:09:19,519
my poor boy check it out just like the Scribe driver but a mechanical pencil

126
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:24,399
that is awesome yeah where do I get it uh nowhere yet yeah got them wait you

127
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,959
started already yeah jeez Jordan hey you were poking at pins before well I was

128
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,440
just I was looking at it I was looking at it what I want to do is I want to

129
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:40,160
really get under that pin and see if I can get it to slightly less bent over

130
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,680
without ripping it off if I rip it off

131
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:46,519
I'm going to have to put a new pin on it which means I need a donor CPU and I

132
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:51,240
need a lot more time it's hard to get under this

133
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:53,240
guy um you can really see boys that this

134
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:56,880
is the smallest Flathead in the iix it kit and it's still kind of hard to get

135
00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:01,920
it under there wait I figured out what they did oh I

136
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:05,959
think they put it into the socket the wrong way Jordan I wonder if they like

137
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:12,040
had it the wrong had it oriented the wrong way or something dude that totally

138
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,440
done uh I think I may have nailed it and

139
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,880
the thing is it doesn't have to be completely straight y it just has to go

140
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:23,720
in that'll get in there hey hey hey she's in now just because she's in the

141
00:10:21,959 --> 00:10:28,640
socket doesn't mean I want to fire up the board yet I want to see if I like

142
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:33,560
really mashed one down because if I fire it up while I've got a pin Mash

143
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,399
down who knows what's going to happen right at least that way I get another

144
00:10:35,959 --> 00:10:43,079
shot at it you only get one shot one opportunity

145
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:50,160
okay okay I'm ready it's my okay so it took me 15 minutes ryzen 5 3500 how much

146
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:57,320
I pay for this thing 30 bucks 30 bucks 30 bucks dude 15 minutes

147
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:08,079
I did it faster well not the same CPU the point

148
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:13,480
is that aside from some overhead here I can afford to pay myself 80 bucks an

149
00:11:10,079 --> 00:11:15,880
hour to fix this CPU dude I'm feeling

150
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:19,320
good challenge number two for Mr lus I get a bonus CPU he gets two cuz neither

151
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:27,440
of them is worth that much that's why they call me the boner oh dear cuz I get

152
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:30,839
a bonus CPU and bonus Tech

153
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:34,360
tips okay sorry what are we talking

154
00:11:30,839 --> 00:11:37,079
about this time I get a

155
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:41,720
3500x this also seems like it's not in very bad shape wait is this just fine

156
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,839
they said it's missing a pen I couldn't find it now occasionally you're going to

157
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,560
buy stuff that's for parts and it's just going to be dead uh okay stop the clock

158
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:54,760
I think I'm ready to test this thing because I do not see a missing or bent

159
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,680
pin on it well she went in the socket easily yeah nothing was bent on it

160
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:04,079
before this fires up or doesn't what's my potential profit here uh 15 20 bucks

161
00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:10,079
okay oh I just saw the keyboard light up holy crap did we just get a forart CPU

162
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:13,560
that's just perfectly fine no

163
00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:15,760
way six core processor all six cores

164
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:19,170
there they freaking go she's turbo in baby yep and she seems like she's

165
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,710
working just

166
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:30,959
fine now what if I told you that actually is missing a pin a missing pin

167
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:38,320
doesn't NE necessarily mean a broken CPU though sometimes they have unused pins

168
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,560
or ground pins that are extra FAL pins

169
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:45,760
if you will dude I feel bad about missing it

170
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:48,760
though naughty lus eyes are getting old

171
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:51,040
man here pop it out we'll take a look

172
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:55,120
and there she is yep how'd everybody do uh so James took about 20 minutes how'd

173
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:59,399
yours go took me about 8 minutes and I got it working fine how about Elijah uh

174
00:12:57,079 --> 00:13:02,839
Elijah had a bad time did we sabotage Elijah has never soldered before and he

175
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,920
had one was missing three pins in the corner and uh it didn't go well Justus

176
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:10,680
ended up cleaning it up and getting one pin back onto it in the time allowed

177
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:16,040
it's it's been through some something to watch for is sometimes you can get away

178
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:20,959
with sticking a little piece of metal into the socket that's as long as you

179
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:25,240
can get a good contact here I actually had a CPU that I put into my parents

180
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:30,000
system an old Tri cor I think it worked for about 10 years like that with a

181
00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:35,600
broken off pin on the CPU right yep but with a little slightly over long piece

182
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:41,000
of metal in the socket so it would make contact should we try I was thinking

183
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:45,600
maybe if that's memory Channel B maybe we could run it in single channel that

184
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:50,320
CPU I dropped that Zeon back in the day where I dented the corner of it it did

185
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:56,120
still work yeah just five of I believe six memory

186
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:59,079
channels no way no way there could still

187
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:06,000
be issues are all of those pins memory Channel B I'll double check cuz if they

188
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:08,240
aren't then it might still work but

189
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,759
maybe one of our PCI Lanes is not functioning properly right who knows

190
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:17,600
that's all memory B dude she's in Windows she's in Windows brother I

191
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,920
cannot believe that let's run the numbers James should be able to sell

192
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:27,519
this CPU for about $135 and we're not able to completely

193
00:14:25,199 --> 00:14:31,399
ignore the cost of our tools but they are good for more than just unbending

194
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:35,920
pins so let's take away a couple of bucks from his profit for that that

195
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:42,040
leaves him with $64 of profit for just over 20 minutes of work a rate of $179

196
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:47,600
an hour not too shabby assuming he can keep that pace up as for Team Elijah he

197
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:53,360
didn't have such a good time after 2 hours his 5800 X only works with a

198
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:58,199
single memory Channel now he might still be able to sell that I'll be it at a

199
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:04,600
reduced price but he wouldn't be making even close cl to minimum wage as for

200
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:06,160
Jordan's 3700x well doesn't have quite

201
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:10,399
the profit potential of James or Elijah's chips but he made up for it by

202
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:16,959
being quick he should be able to get close to 40 bucks after expenses or

203
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:20,040
around 285 an hour though there's no way

204
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:23,720
that that's a sustainable Pace as for me

205
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:25,240
I spent about 16 minutes on my 3500 and

206
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:30,800
really I just used the Precision screwdriver so I should see about $19 of

207
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:36,160
profit coming back $71 an hour if you're playing along at home as for the 3500x

208
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,639
well I didn't spend any time fixing this one and I could get 20 bucks of profit

209
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:47,240
there too and I'm only out the time it took to test it and ship it not too bad

210
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,920
but is this a viable side hustle well I

211
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:54,360
think so but there are some caveats there is a lot of upfront risk I'd say

212
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:59,000
it's important to make sure that you are picking chips with good potential profit

213
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,560
picking ones where the seller clearly lays out what's wrong with them so you

214
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:06,759
can claim something back if the issue is something else and try to get chips with

215
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:11,720
as few bent pins as possible so you're not wasting a ton of time before you can

216
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:16,319
