Soldering was the only thing stopping me from upgrading the screen on my gbasp with the broken light.

Just one tip. To clean corrosion like that, use a kids tooth brush rather than a metal blade. That should get rid of most of it, then if there are stubborn bits a blade can be used. Otherwise, another great video and I love how you fill me with nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.
And drown in flux. Flux is great for dissolving corrosion AND old flux. Using any tool on a PCB you can't even see is a bad idea, I feared for those poor tracks :D

2 things, 1. IDK what flux you are using but putting some money into some high quality flux is key to a lot of these repairs, like AmTech or Stirri. And 2 when you clean the corrosion from batteries leaking acid it's important to neutralize it with a base to prevent further corrosion, I usually use baking soda but you have to be careful in some areas with it, I clean the baking soda off with 91% alcohol afterwards and then let it dry for a while. Great job! I love seeing old consoles get refurbished and given some love!
Right now, I'm working a 5.25" floppy drive repair for my MS-DOS computer. And repairs on a Commodore Plus 4 -- replaced CPU arrived last week. Both computers are 40 years old! May they live long (if not exactly prospering --wink-- )
Ok so it’s really cute how excited you are about fixing these consoles. It like you’ve surprised yourself. It’s kinda infectious. You do a great job explaining what you’re doing. Also your English is really good 👍🏻.
I prefer vinegar or lemon juice to dissolve corrosion then clean up with ISA. I like your repair and restore videos. I also use plenty of flux when re-flowing solder joints. Assortment of solder iron tips help.
exactly, to get rid of the alkaline corrosion, it works best to use some vinegar, brush it with an old toothbrush and the rinse it with with (demineralised) water to neutralize the acid. if there's electronic components, a short wash with IPA is good, in this case just tap water would have done the job.
yeah, works great. Just test it with some spare parts so you can get used to the chemical reaction. Sometimes you may experience a strong sizzling reaction. Not sure about electronic parts though. BW100 or WD40 or IPA should do the job there
@@Sayakas_Digital_Attic The wireless micro iron has improved my life 1000%. Looks like a toy, performs like a beast. Uncanny how you can get a real solder iron for like 25 euros nowadays. My first non-crappy iron was 10x the price and it didn't even have a reliable regulator T_T
@@tubybubi IPA does a great job at neutralizing alkaline damage. You shouldn't use tap water, but distilled one. You can first wash it with tap water, but at least rinse it with distilled water at the end. Use a spray bottle with IPA to let the water evaporate quicker.
You are so nice and positive. Very pleasant accent and an original presentation. Compared to over-edited videos, here the eyes and the ears come to rest. Nothing too electronically complex. Just pure therapeutic repair relaxation.
Watching your videos gave me confidence to put my hands in electronics. I just modded my dualsense controller with paddles and all click buttons and also changed the sticks with Hall effect ones since the originals drifted. So thanks for your work.
2:30 by the way, it is super easy to remove battery acid. just take a small glass, fill it with acetic acid and put the object to be cleaned into it. after 30 minutes the acid is dissolved and the part is 100% clean.
I've had success putting plastic parts & rubber pads in a container of soapy water, letting them soak for several minutes, then using a soft toothbrush to scrub them clean. You'll find the parts dry very quickly. Great video!
Interdental brushes are the dental tool that are very useful for cleaning small and narrow parts. I'm on dentist orders to use them between my teeth from now on. I always keep one at hand for cleaning with isopropanol alcohol.
Instead of scraping the pcb and risk breaking traces, start by using ipa and a toothbrush to clean the area. That usually will get rid of most corrosion. The same goes for the cartslot, use a brush and ipa. The battery contacts that you can take out of the shell can be put in a glass with some vinegar to remove any corrosions. Keep an eye on them and dont leave them for more than ~5 minutes as it will ruin the coating. While it will work on contacts, dont use vinegar on the pcb! The gameboy logo is actually a checksum. If the logo is not complete theres a problem reading the game. Either check the cart or clean the cartslot. When fixing the screen on the DMG, dont use ipa or flux as you risk of the liquid going in the screen and ruin the screen. Using a knife on the corroded contacts is dangerous. Scratching the pads will risk breaking the contact. Like before use ipa, brush and patience :) For the games you can use an eraser and lightly rub the contacts. That usually cleans up any oxidation. Gameboy shells are very old so be careful with using ipa on them. The shells might crack or ruin the coating. Instead put the parts in hot soap water and leave it for a while and then clean with a brush :)
I can't even begin to describe how much I love this channel. You've got everything I love in a RUclips channel! Also, I really enjoyed the mini game reviews you scattered in while you were testing the systems with some of your favorite games! Another awesome video!

This goes to a degree that I am not sure any more if it is even possible to learn especially the practical skills alone at home without any willing and helpful mentor.. Do you have any recommendations and tricks at how to start the electrical repair hobby without all too much painful setbacks? Keep up the amazing work! It is a pleasure to watch!

I'm glad you showed the GBA power switch repair. I didn't know that the top plate came off that easily. I have one with a corroded power switch sitting on my TV stand 😅
Never seen anyone like you! So young and already fixing consoles that came out before you were even born. It’d be ace if you did a video talking about your favorite games... you know just a talking video or something
Mr. Tweezers making lots of appearances for alternate uses there. Like you I have fixed many electronics issues just by cleaning the devices and connectors. It is so satisfying to bring old broken equipment back to a useful life again, as seen by your delight when "it works!".
I really enjoy people repairing their older devices. You're doing a great job! Do check all connectors, as I had to replace lots of broken headphone, interface cable, and power plugs.
Love to see your excitement when it does work. Every time I see one of our videos I want to get equipment and start repairing stuff, but I don't have your skills and honestly there is a broken washing machine and a tap which I really need to get around to fix or replace. So I'm deadly jealous on multiple counts. Keep having fun!
hank you so much! Honestly, for any repair, searching online or on RUclips can be super helpful! And I totally get it, there’s always something around the house that needs fixing D:
I'm happy to try and fix pretty much any Nintendo console...... except the DS line. It's such a tight package and almost every connection requires more effort than I'm prepared to put in. Kudos for even attempting it!
Haha Just like the auto repair videos i watch (even though i only know basic auto repair), watching Sayaka's electronic repair is entertaining and really interesting (for a guy who only took 1 year of high school electronics class...my soldering is terrible haha).
I love these videos. Love the old tech I grew up with, love your skills, your explaining, your obvious happines when you fix something and on top you are the definition of "cute as a button" 😄
SAYAKA! I love your content! i do a bit of repair and refurbishing myself. but i think it would be super cool to see a tour of your tools! most useful items and your extra stuff
I got into 3D printing because of your channel and I'm already deep down the rabbit hole with modifications, hacking and tweaking. Thanks Eleonora!, I think? 😉 Wow, that new printer is quite a step up from your previous one!
what a cool channel! i really needed a good visual breakdown of the 3ds because i want to refurbish my old flame red one and this helped a lot thank you
It shouldn't be Literally when I've been trying to fix this sort of thing and I am having a hard time doing something, I'd ask either my girlfriend or my mom to do it and they'd always do it no problem I realized it's because of Makeup. If they can do Makeup, and pluck their eyebrows or other beauty practices like that, it usually means they have hundreds of hours of practice and dexterity that translates to this kind of work
Loved the video. But, you could do with some other background music during your time-lapses, or maybe just resume the song at some point other than the start, because it was sort of silly when the song restarted for like, the 4th time lol
Good to see you again in a new fixing vid and good job at fixing the 5 Nintendo consoles they look amazing and awesome, much love and support and also respect 🙏 thanks for sharing this fantastic vlog, I enjoyed watching this vid
Having worked on a 3ds before, im impressed with your repair. They are so complicated on the inside, and are a real pain to work on. Putting mine back together, i snapped the right triggers ribbon cable 😅
Im an Electronics engineer and I admire your extreme patience. Microelectronics are one of the things I dread the most thats why I jumped into the IT field
I always dreamed to repair and mod old consoles for me, and I always watch videos like these since I can’t do it right now, I love your content and I’m glad you got into this repairs! I hope you make more of these ❤
This is a very cute videodrop ! Me , once my fatmodel ds fell of a deskchair and I sent it to be re-cased by mail. Still have that one today. Plus I'm sure I still have an unused volume doubler / screenlight or something that was meant to go inside the advance.
very nicely restored consoles very good microscope and generally beautiful work it was nice to watch and I really admire your skills and the equipment you use is great
I currently watch restoration channels that deal with leather products including shoes, wrist watches, & smartphones. So now I guess I am adding this to attic full of consoles to my list. I love the look of surprise and excitement on her face every time something actually works.
I love when she says "it worked!" There's so much joy in her voice lol

I'm happy to try and fix pretty much any Nintendo console...... except the DS line. It's such a tight package and almost every connection requires more effort than I'm prepared to put in. Kudos for even attempting it!
Haha Just like the auto repair videos i watch (even though i only know basic auto repair), watching Sayaka's electronic repair is entertaining and really interesting (for a guy who only took 1 year of high school electronics class...my soldering is terrible haha).
Been watching all your episodes. Sayaka’s T-shirt game is on point 💯
😁
The effort you put in restoring that 3DS was pretty impressive. That would have gone in my “donor” pile immediately 😅
Just stumbled across this channel! Definitely enjoying 🎉
Thanks so much for checking out the channel! I’m glad you’re enjoying it :)
This is great, Sayaka! Without people like you, those devices would just end up in a landfill.
Very creative that you are. Thank you for showing us a path to fixing these awesome consoles.
Glad you liked it!
I love these videos. Love the old tech I grew up with, love your skills, your explaining, your obvious happines when you fix something and on top you are the definition of "cute as a button" 😄
SAYAKA! I love your content! i do a bit of repair and refurbishing myself. but i think it would be super cool to see a tour of your tools! most useful items and your extra stuff
I got into 3D printing because of your channel and I'm already deep down the rabbit hole with modifications, hacking and tweaking. Thanks Eleonora!, I think? 😉 Wow, that new printer is quite a step up from your previous one!
what a cool channel! i really needed a good visual breakdown of the 3ds because i want to refurbish my old flame red one and this helped a lot thank you
I found your channel after finding my old GameBoy Advance and looking into repairs and modding. Great, informative videos!
That "Kirby eating a Game Boy" print is adorable. Great video.
This is really good! It's somehow rare to see a woman doing this kind of hands on projects with electronics, keep it up!
It shouldn't be
Literally when I've been trying to fix this sort of thing and I am having a hard time doing something, I'd ask either my girlfriend or my mom to do it and they'd always do it no problem
I realized it's because of Makeup. If they can do Makeup, and pluck their eyebrows or other beauty practices like that, it usually means they have hundreds of hours of practice and dexterity that translates to this kind of work
I have to say it, I also love the Mario vs. DK game for GBA, definitely one of my favorites.
Amazing work and video!
I think you're incredibly talented! It's amazing how you fix all the consoles
Your charm and repairing consoles is what made me like and sub to this channel. Excellent work!🥳
I think her super tall bf has more charm!
Loved the video. But, you could do with some other background music during your time-lapses, or maybe just resume the song at some point other than the start, because it was sort of silly when the song restarted for like, the 4th time lol
Thank you for the advice
I played that Bugs Bunny game so much as a kid. Quite challenging on the later levels. I love your videos Sayaka! 😁
always satisfying fixing something broken. from garbage to valuable
Fantastic work, Eleanora! It is great to see the younger generation embracing these skills 👍
Love the spock shirt. Great job with the repairs!
Good to see you again in a new fixing vid and good job at fixing the 5 Nintendo consoles they look amazing and awesome, much love and support and also respect 🙏 thanks for sharing this fantastic vlog, I enjoyed watching this vid
Thank you
Another well-made, interesting and yet relaxing repair video. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work!!
Having worked on a 3ds before, im impressed with your repair. They are so complicated on the inside, and are a real pain to work on. Putting mine back together, i snapped the right triggers ribbon cable 😅
I know! It was the first time I disassembled a 3DS, even though I had watched many repair videos and I have to say, it was really difficult.
The fat Game Boy is just insane ! I love your videos.
Im an Electronics engineer and I admire your extreme patience. Microelectronics are one of the things I dread the most thats why I jumped into the IT field
Good job on that screen!! You got all the lines back!!!
Learning a lot! And love the enthusiasm. Good luck.
Awesome video and well done on the repairs especially the white GB Advance mod screen.💯👌🏻✌🏻
Your choice of BGM is nice
Great video, makes me want to play the retro games and have a go at fixing something myself but some of what you do will be hard for me.
I always dreamed to repair and mod old consoles for me, and I always watch videos like these since I can’t do it right now, I love your content and I’m glad you got into this repairs! I hope you make more of these ❤
I'm happy to hear that. I hope you'll be able to do it soon too!
@@Sayakas_Digital_Attic i hope it too! thanks!!
I like that you face challenges where I might not even have startet!
You’re amazing!!!! The attention to detail is no joke
just found your channel from the playstation fixing video, love the content
Nice job, cool to see these consoles repaired and working.
Thanks!
This is a very cute videodrop ! Me , once my fatmodel ds fell of a deskchair and I sent it to be re-cased by mail. Still have that one today. Plus I'm sure I still have an unused volume doubler / screenlight or something that was meant to go inside the advance.
very nicely restored consoles very good microscope and generally beautiful work it was nice to watch and I really admire your skills and the equipment you use is great
I never thought of using those interdental brushes for cleaning small corners. I'll remember to buy some.
They are quite useful, I must say!
Was waiting all month for the next video. Thanks for uploading!
You seem to be going from strength to strength young lady.
Excellent work, keep it up. ☺
Thank you so much!
I currently watch restoration channels that deal with leather products including shoes, wrist watches, & smartphones. So now I guess I am adding this to attic full of consoles to my list. I love the look of surprise and excitement on her face every time something actually works.
You should get an ultra sonic cleaner in your lab. One of my most useful pieces of equipment
1:42 I'm surprised you & me both have the exact same screwdriver set.
😮
Amazing skills, Sayaka! I love this sllit screen format ❤
Your reaction when something works is priceless young lady.
21:26 this reaction is adorable )
