i was trying to look for a video like this. i had to scroll past at least 200 videos to find this. just letting you know.

[@PizzaHandhelds]

Thanks for watching! Hope you learned something as I have putting this video toegether and have a nice day!!

[@EmZh20]

I’ve never seen such a thing before 😮. Thanks for sharing!

[@PizzaHandhelds]

Yw thanks for watching ur my number 1 fan and I appreciate it :3

[@RGmodsitalia]

I usually put my game boy mobos in my 10 lt ultrasonic cleaner after desoldering speakers and quartz oscillators(heard that the 40hz frequency could destroy them). I saw you put them without desoldering anything (this will spare me some time), have you experienced problems or issue when yhe mobos were dried and in operable mode?

[@VD-cc4hx]

1:30 Louis Rossman says to angle it sideways instead of flat so it can clean under the bga and smd chips. idk what the right way is.

[@olDirdey]

think about whether a ultra sonic cleaner makes sense if you have to use the brush afterwards anyway

[@PizzaHandhelds]

True if it’s an ez solder job brush and ipa all day. It’s it while board dirtiness or u soldered a mgbc it’s really effective. And part of it is it feels good to get it really clean!

[@newenglandhustler8200]

How do you measure the amount of distilled water and solution that you put in the cleaner? Just want to make sure I don’t do too much distilled water for the PCBs.

[@PizzaHandhelds]

u could use a measuring cup - but I think its suitable to eyeball it. submerging the pcb in pure distilled water is not damaging either so there is no concern there.

[@newenglandhustler8200]

@@PizzaHandhelds great information. Thanks for getting back to me so fast.

[@JohnShortall88]

How can you reduce the chances of the Ultrasonic cleaner cracking the Gameboy shell? Are there ideal conditions to reduce this? Thanks!

[@PizzaHandhelds]

There’s a chance. But I haven’t heard of any or seen any degradation.
