@Asdasdas1337 So as explained in the video, when you power off the system, the capacitors discharge. But as it turns out, the 470uf cap installed on the 7805 has a chance of unloading all that extra energy onto the chipset instead of discharging to ground. And since these caps can hold a 6.3v charge at max, you could potentially spike the hardware or pop the regulator if it doesn't discharge to ground. So to rectify this, you add a diode between the input and output of the regulator to protect it from any sudden surges or discharges. This will ensure that the capacitor discharges correctly.
This is great, but it pains me that you didn't get a custom printed serial number sticker that matches your console. Also because UN2 stickers are never 1-CHIPs, let alone a 1-CHIP-03
@@CrescentZelda this is true, but the serial is just the default one when buying from Hoskinson Industries. I could have probably made my own, but I chose not to for the sake of keeping things simple.
Cool video bro great content
Great video Fenris! Great way to spend my morning while drinking my coffee!
what a wonderfully informative video, love all your videos
this is not a cheesecake recipe but it's still good.
@FeliciaByNature not sure how it comes up under cheesecake, but hey, thanks for watching! 😅
The Etsy guy is also the ebay guy. He changes his name every so often but it's same guy.
I’m forcing my children to watch this important video.
I agree
First time hearing that the extra cap on the regulator may cause damage
@@Asdasdas1337 same as it was for me, when I was filming this.
@@fenriswolfretro6729 Can you explain how it works and why is it necessary please?. (Just a hobbyist trying to lean)
