Thank you!! 🐺🐺😁😁

I know right!! Gives a whole new meaning to power brick!! 🐺🐺🐺🤣🤣🤣

Thank you again for sending these to me!! I hope I can get the rest working too!! They are so difficult to open though!! There’s got to be an easier way🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

Thank you!! 🐺🐺😁😁

That would have been awesome!! I might have to try that out!! Thanks!! 🐺🐺😁😁

@@wolfmanrepairs You're welcome! I am going to do that myself as soon as I receive the USB C trigger and the step down circuit! I hope you will upload a video in case you try that out, I subscribed already so I will be waiting :)

Thank you!! I will have to lower it down a bit and give a different tip a try. Any recommendations on temperature? 🐺🐺😁😁

@@wolfmanrepairs I use a JBC clone soldering station. It holds two soldering irons. I use the T245 for bigger solder joints. Then I also have a T115 soldering iron for smaller detailed work. I find the JBC C115-113 chisel tip works great for traces. I run the heat at 330. The quality of your iron makes a difference. The cheaper the iron the more prone it is to overrun the heat on the tip. Keep up the videos and happy learning.

@nebulink awesome!! Thank you!! I will have to look into getting some better equipment for sure!! 🐺🐺😁😁

@@wolfmanrepairsfyi, I have the Aixun T420D. It’s been a great station.

Yeah same here!! I don’t feel like I had the iron on it too long. Maybe the heat was too high. 🐺🐺🧐🧐

That’s awesome!! If I had this game as a kid I would have probably done the same thing!! I really wasn’t expecting all this damage on the board. The game looked pretty clean on the outside. 🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

Your welcome!! Glad you enjoyed it!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! Yeah it’s kinda frustrating!! Especially with all the shielding and that plastic piece!! 🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

Thank you!! We are all good over here!! Thank you for asking!! 🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

​@@wolfmanrepairs I'm really happy you're all doing well!

It could be oxidation from water damage. Sometimes there is a white residue left behind after the liquid dries up. I would try using some IPA on it and see if it goes away. 🐺🐺😁😁

@@wolfmanrepairs Maybe someone tried to clean it up with water or alcohol? Even the chips on the board have the dust. Anyway, thanks for answering!

I remember repairing a VCR years ago that was full of a suspicious white powder that had melted onto various components inside... After some conversation with the owner and a little anxiety that I'd somehow ended up with the result of some sort of failed smuggling attempt, it turns out that the original fault stemmed from the fact that the unit had been filled with powdered sugar by a particularly frustrating toddler. What I'm really saying is, it could be absolutely anything! 😂😂

@@TheBeezleDude Now I'm really worried, cause I'll think this is some sort of radioactive dust. lol

@@Clodd1 At least it would have enough juice to keep the savegame backup working on the cartridge 🤣🤣

Thank you!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Factory fresh!! 🐺🐺🤣🤣🤣

Thank you!! I can use all the help I can get!! Let’s discuss here’s my email address wolfmanrepairs@gmail.com 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! I can use all the help I can get!! Let’s discuss!! 🐺🐺🐺🐺😁😁

@@wolfmanrepairs ok than give me your discord id

Awooooooooooooooo!!!!🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁😁😁 That’s awesome!!! 🐺🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁😁

Totally agree!! This one definitely needed it!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! Much more to come!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! That’s crazy the VA3 had two chips that were faulty!! Im not sure how that happens either!! I’m going to have to join some discord forums too!! You said the name was Console mods? I will have to check them out!! I’m glad to hear you were able to get It working!! 🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

​@@wolfmanrepairs np, Yes ConsoleMods, with "." org together. Spelled it like that because "RUclips" would delete comments otherwise. They have a Wiki too.

Awesome!! Thank you!! I will have to check it out!!🐺🐺😁😁

I didn’t know you can do that!! I will have to give it a try for sure!! Thanks!! 🐺🐺😁😁

I haven't tried it myself, just a theory I came up after watching car / drum hardware restoration videos. Some people also use distilled water. Baking soda might work with it. But try wd40 first.

@@wolfmanrepairs I tried it myself today and it made no difference, sadly. Sorry about that

Thank you for the update!! I’ve used SOS pads on chrome bumpers before and that brings the shine back. I might give that a shot!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! I’ve heard it both ways that it is factory and that it’s not. To me it doesn’t look factory because the wires are always different colors and gauges but I know SEGA did do a lot of modifications with wires like this so I don’t know for sure!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! I really appreciate all the support!! Yeah the small gauge wire is really tricky especially if you’re not using a microscope!! 🐺🐺😁😁

I haven’t deleted anything. I know that RUclips will delete comments if they have links in them. Did your comment have a link??

Thank you!!! I really appreciate all the support!! I’m super excited about all of it!!🐺🐺😁😁

Man that’s not cool!! I’ll tell you what, I’ll trade you. I’ll send you one of these working consoles and you send me the broken one. If you want to do that shoot me an email so we can make arrangements wolfmanrepairs@gmail.com 🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

For some reason my reply did not come over. Here’s what I said: Man that’s not cool!! I’ll tell you what, I’ll trade you!! I’ll send you one of these working ones and you can send me the broken one. Let me know if you want to do that 😁🐺🐺😁🐺😁

Thank you!! It’s much appreciated!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!!! I see what you’re saying!! That actually turned out to be some glue or stuck on grossness. I checked continuity from the filter to the ASIC and it has continuity. Unfortunately it’s probably the ASIC. 🐺🐺😁😁

I tend to do that sometimes… 🤣🐺🐺

I think your right!! The wording seems to suggest that it’s a SEGA refurbished unit!! Most definitely I’m going to put the best RF shielding and shells on the working consoles and the rest is parts!! 🐺🐺😁😁🐺

Thank you!!! 🐺🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

You’re probably right!! I wonder what would cause that. Probably just age!! I can’t believe how old these consoles are now… 🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

Thank you!! 🐺🐺😁😁🐺🐺

Thank you!! I will have to dive deeper into this console and compare readings with a known good unit!! I have continuity from the filter to the ASIC so I know it’s not a broken trace or anything. I will have to test to see if it’s getting 5v when the button is pressed!! Thanks for the info!! 🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

Thank you!! Yeah that was pretty crazy!! I thought for sure that I was not going to be able to fix that rusted one!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Yup the ASIC is possibly bad too

Thank you for the info!! There is continuity between the filter to the ASIC. I wonder if there’s a way to add a resistor in line up to the ASIC kinda like how you can add a resistor to the game cartridges if they don’t work. I might have to give that a try!! 🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

@wolfmanrepairs what you're checking for isn't continuity. You need to set your multimeter to diode mode, like with Genesis carts, and check for the presence of a resistor on the controller lines on the ASIC side. If you get an OL, that means that internal resistor is dead. You could fix it by adding a 10k pull-up resistor to that controller line.

I’m going to give this a try for sure!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!! 🐺🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁

Thank you!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! Glad you enjoy Wolfmans content!! 🐺🐺😁😁

All of my fans count!! Thank you for being a long time subscriber!! I really really appreciate it!! I have some more fix/clean episodes coming!! 🐺🐺😁😁

It’s called a tri wing screw driver. It’s part of the IFixit set: amzn.to/3ZKRiro 🐺🐺😁😁

Tri wing!! Amazon .55 cents

Thank you!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Check your USB C power supply it might not put out 12v. I had the same thing happen to me with an HP power supply. It did not put out 12v and I was getting only 9v. It was super frustrating!! 🐺🐺😁😁

Thanks. That's likely it. I'll order a new PSU.

Thank you!! I find it bizarre too but in the opposite way since I’m from the US. I remember the first time I heard a PAL Sonic I thought there was something wrong with the game!! 🤣🐺🐺😁😁

Unfortunately when you plug the controller in it blocks the LED light 🐺🐺😁😁

@@wolfmanrepairs its still a very cool mod.i love it!!

I hear ya!! I’m surprised I didn’t break or melt anything with this one!! 🤣🐺🐺😁

Thank you!! Best of luck with your Game Gear!! Thank you for your support as well!! I just checked out your dremel video. That was a ton of work!! I subscribed!! 🐺🐺😁😁

@@wolfmanrepairs Thank you! I’ve been putting the Game Gear off for a couple of weeks - really must get to it. The Dremel was a nightmare - never again! 😂 Thanks so much for the subscription - I’m already subscribed to your channel 👍 😀

Thank you!! Game Gears can be pretty intimidating!! The Game Gear in this video sat for almost a year before I felt comfortable enough to work on it. 🐺🐺😁😁

Thank you!! Yes I’m wondering that too. I have another Game Gear that I used the same kit on that I play almost daily so I will keep you posted. The kits are from Retro Six and they do some awesome work so I’m pretty confident that this setup will work out great!!🐺🐺😁😁

@@wolfmanrepairs If it's from Retro Six I'm sure using them will be fine. Maybe cap technology has changed since the early 90s and the new non polarized caps work much better now😁

😁😁😁I’m super happy to hear that you enjoyed this episode so much!! It was a fun one to make!! 🐺🐺🐺😁😁😁
