Every day, electronics get thrown away over a single failed component. A five-cent capacitor takes down a €300 dishwasher board. One shorted MOSFET sends a graphics card to the bin. A cracked solder joint leaves a console “broken beyond repair.”

We got tired of watching it happen.

We’re Daniel and Andi, two power electronics engineers from Salzburg, Austria. By day, we develop drivetrain and battery systems. In our spare time, we put discarded electronics under the microscope and try to bring them back.

NotDeadYet is where we film it: board-level repairs from the first measurement to the final verdict. Real measurements, honest results — including the repairs we can’t save.

Along the way, we explain our tools, measurements and decisions, so the next dead board on your bench has a better chance.

Subscribe and follow the next repair.

Because most of the time, it isn’t dead.
It’s just not dead yet.
