I know some people are in odd areas where it makes it tough to sell items online and I totally understand. I'm very fortunate to live where I do since I'm so centrally located to everything in the Midwest. Also having the pool of buyers in the US is a pretty large advantage. Hopefully you continue to fix items though, don't get discouraged if items don't sell for a while if that's how it goes in your area. I wish you luck for the future though!

...we will see. I need a bit of a break for the time being lol.

Thank you! Glad to have the support!

No, thank you for watching and commenting! It means a lot to have random people being inspired by something I posted. Thanks for coming along in the journey!

LOL! I hope you enjoy!

Thank you, Merry Christmas to you as well! And thanks for coming along on the journey, I couldn't have done it without all of the support!

Glad I could help!

Was it drifting to the right before doing the fix? If so, I would check the traces going to the POT that moves right and left just to make sure there is nothing there that was damaged first. Small cracks can be hard to see sometimes. If it wasn't drifting to the right before, then it could be a defective new part or it could have some debris on the inside of the POT that is causing it to not center properly. I'd also check the inside of the POT for any defects or debris too and clean and retest again, otherwise you could always put on your old sticks POT and see if that helps too. Hopefully you can get it working again though!

Sorry, but no. I'm flattered people like it that much but it wouldn't survive shipping unfortunately.

lol for sure, I had done that in one of my other repair challenge videos. But funny enough the cleanliness level of the inner parts doesn't seem to effect the lid parts too much.

You can clean it? But removing items will be difficult without a soldering iron unfortunately.

@ my battery bracket is a little oxidized thats all

You can clean it in place, it may just take a little while longer to do that. But if you're using something that doesn't damage the circuit board like high percentage IPA, then you should be good.

@ sounds good thanks

No problem, hopefully it works for you!

Thanks, every little bit helps! I was hoping that would be the case too...

You kind of wiggle it out and it pops loose pretty easy that way.

Glad it helped!

I'm dying over this lol.

I see that. lol

Thank you, hopefully they help people to preserve their screens for a while longer.

They are not meant to, that's why its a slow process. But makes it way easier to clean properly when its apart.

Same, it's one of my favorites too. It's in my top 10.

It works, you just need to be very careful.

Could be the power supply, if you have a second power supply I’d try that first. Also check to make sure the fuse didn’t blow again after install. If it did then there has to be another issue with how the power is being fed into the system.

Lol.

Thanks for the help! I hope you enjoy!

@gamejaeger gotta help other youtubers for sure.

Lol, Thanks I appreciate it!

No they aren’t. That brings up another question but I’m pretty sure you can’t use Hall effect sticks in original Xbox controllers without some additional modifications though. Don’t quote me but I didn’t think they were compatible with the older controllers.

@gamejaeger the hall effect units would in fact require additional logic to process, but that could be small enough to be inserted with on board ASIC piggybacking in the unit, I assume. It's a lot to hope for, maybe too much.

Yeah it would require some doing I’m sure. Maybe a daughter board to hold the extras?

Lol. I haven’t seen many really bad carts similar to this one, so it’s a pretty true statement so far. Mostly I just see dirty pins and trace or battery repairs. But I’m not sure where people find the utterly destroyed carts I’ve seen in a few other videos. I’d love to find out though, so if you have any leads let me know! Lol

@@gamejaeger I thought I had replied. Maybe I'm getting tired. I've been finding them on e-bay included with a bunch of other things. Ironically the hardest repairs were the ones that actually had the best appearances.

I can imagine, you never know what’s inside of those things sometimes lol.

Maybe? You’ll probably still have to take them out of the main base and lay them flat then inject in some green resin. I could see that working though, good idea!

Maybe bend one of the battery terminals so it can contact better? Or find some replacements online?

You might be able to if you can get down to the contacts with something long enough and strong enough to scrub them clean. Maybe make a tool with an ice pick or a chopstick? Not sure what would work honestly but you could if the corrosion isn’t that bad.

Thank you for the support! I hope to have a few more as time goes on too!

Here’s hoping!

I typically play a few rounds of halo odst firefight mode lol. It’s easy to load up and you can have fun in the process!

I may try to swap the cord but I’m using an original cord that I’ve been using for testing for a very long time. Good thought though. I may have to rule it out just in case.

@ now that I’m thinking about it, the issue was in the RCA’s on mine. If you’re using oem then I dk but I was thinking it’s possibly an easy fix to swap

Very true. It at least eliminates a possible failure point.

Yes indeed!

Lol there’s a huge debate as to which one is the best too. Personally I like the S though.

It did, unfortunately I don’t have a copy but maybe it would be worth it to pick up a copy to help sell it in the future. We will see…

I'm glad you've enjoyed the ride! I know I have! I have some plans for next year for what I’ll do next but I haven’t made any official decisions about it yet. We will see where those decisions lead…

1 more to go!

That’s so cool, thank you! I have some ideas of what to do next after this series is finished but haven’t decided specifically what to do yet. We will see though…

You want them? I’ll send them to you lol. I don’t know if I’ll ever use parts off of them. Out of curiosity, what do you do with them? Do you transfer them to new printed boards? I’ve seen some people do that but it’s a long process to say the least.

@@gamejaeger​​⁠​⁠id take them off your hand. A have a few boards that where failed mods by other people that could use oem chips and parts

@gamejaeger I would love to ! And tbh I have done custom boards for GBC before and OG GB but at this point I have a few OG boards who's CPU died or who's Ram didn't want to work anymore. I would love to take them off your hands and give them a new lease on life !

Crazy, I’ve never found a GBC with bad chips ever. Whoever messages me through my email on the about page can have them I have no use for them since I don’t have the gear to do chip swaps. So at least they will go to someone that can use them. It’s only a few but if you can use them, then great!

No I just put them in a bin of parts in case I may need them. But for what? I have no idea. Lol

Correct, I just have the kit of random sizes in the description in case other places like Console5 are out of stock for the large bands that are used in the Thomsons (at the time of this comment, they are out of stock again too). I buy the smaller bands from eBay and those have worked out great so far for Samsung and the rest of the manufacturers.

It really depends on the size of the container you plan to use and how full you'd like to make it too. For mine I'm guessing I used a little under 1 oz or about 20-30 ml per container. That's my best guess but I wasn't measuring it when I was putting it in the bottles. I just went by eye and tried a few different amounts to see what I liked best. Hope that helps!

How much did this all cost

Maybe about $200 total? Not sure, never totaled it up...
