As someone who is just getting into video game restoration, it’s satisfying watching others do the same. My first project is a DMG Gameboy, I actually fixed it except for the screen which was unrepairable, so I just ordered a working one today.
Hi how you doing I love your channel I have a question I have a PS1 slim and I made a mistake and soldered off some resistors when I was trying to install a mod chip and I also put a glob of solder on one of the chips if you have a email address I can send you pictures of what I'm talking about I want to know if you can fix it and install the mod chip and you could give me pricing
I'm an engineering student in Electronic Instrumentation. I'm fascinated with the video, I've never been able to repair a device in this way, whenever I try I don't know what procedures to do haha. Good video, greetings from Mexico!
My first repair was a broken power cord on an appliance. We have to start somewhere. If you think you'd enjoy it, find something faulty and take it apart and see if you can figure out whats going on with it.
So glad I found this channel. Every once in a while, I come across a creator whose all videos are of interest to me. You are definitely one of them. Subscribed and am thrilled to see the channel grow!
Your channel is so underrated! Keep doing what you are, I subscribed! ( You should restore more consoles it’s such a great content, I will recommend you to my friends)
This was soo cool to watch but I thought u had like 100k subs but u only have like 300 and surprised that so many creators are not found and recognized that they also have good content so I will support by subscribing to you my man good job I love this content and this video was in my recommended
Glad I found your channel and greetings from Romania. I always love how you're tackling every aspect of every console. From the smallest things like video caps for PSone and Game Gear consoles, to the biggest stuff like reflowing 360s, PS3 YLODs , and the most favourite aspects I love, tackling the OG Xbox and the PS2. I hope that one day I might be able to do a set up and tackle various beloved electronics from my home (Acer 5542G restoration, Compaq CQ56 laptop upgrade, OG Xbox revisiting, PS3s, chipped PS2s and such) and hopefully make videos out of them.
Just happened to come across your channel, and I'm quite surprised at how you haven't got more views and subs - your videos and work are of a very high standard. Keep it up with the content, liked and subscribed :)
Nice repair, very well done. Just keep in mind that capacitors don't have cathodes/anodes. They just have negative/positive leads. Keep up with more nice videos like this!
I love that you can get a old console up and running again. I have been at it for a couple months now, just learning how. So thanks for the videos I always find them helpful. I am doing a Sega Genesis 2 right now for my cousin, Sonic the Hedgehog theme. I'm pretty stoked on how it's turning out so far. I actually only bought the broken console for 25 bucks I fixed it and now customizing it and soon to be selling it to her. So thanks again for the awesome videos. Keep it up. Look forward to the next one.
Nice work restoring this PSone!! This showed me that in the future, it's worth my time to buy a non-working console and repair it, rather than overpay for a working unit. Repairing consoles actually seems pretty interesting and maybe even kinda fun! You've earned yourself a subscriber, keep up the good work! 😁👍
You really deserve more subs. The quality of this video made me think you were more popular than you are. I subbed because I love the videos you make. Keep up the good work!
Damn that is a proper repair not those fake ass videos of people fixing fake consoles with coffee grinds. Plus the info is very helpful and very encouraging to try to fix things rather then throwing them away. Especially on a classic console that still looked amazing 👍
@@BorderlineOCD I have beginner skills in fixing electronics and soldering. So for me more important is how to troubleshoot, than what video editing quality is - it's not a big deal 😉
I'm impressed with your troubleshooting skills and how cleanly you got the caps off the board. Your soldering skills need some work. This is an older video so I'm going to assume your skills have improved since this and you have invested in some better quality solder and a better iron.
Can’t believe this guy hasnt even surpassed 500 subscribers yet! You have amazing content, I was honestly expecting atleast 5-11k subscribers. Hope you keep growing! I also have a request. Can you try to repair and restoration on a gba/ gba sp? I guarantee you will get lots of views on the video.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the content. My most recent handheld purchase was a bunch of DMG Game Boys and some Pockets. I have a few more to repair before I look for another haul but the GBA is on my radar!
soberbio.gran reparacionde la psone...suerte la mia de haber encontrado este tutorial.ya pedi los dos condensadores...espero poder arreglarla pues hace años que duerme averiada...gracias por este tuto amigo.
Great restoration, but I would recommend to replace all caps when you first do a restoration. The ps1 is getting a bit old now and it would be a shame if one started to leak and ruin parts of the machine.
I'd definitely consider this on a system that has more personal collecting value to me. I'm keeping a look out for the original PS and may do a more thorough restoration once I get my hands on one.
Just picked up a PS1 and there's no video...sound, but no video. Stumbled upon your video and hoping it's an easy fix like yours was! Really enjoyed the video. Nothing fancy, just getting it done. (That's a compliment!). Subscribed and going to check out your other videos. I haven't done any electronic repairs yet, but want to get into it. Hopefully, if my issue is those capacitors, it'll be an easier one to start me off.
Just so I learn something, you connected your probe to the video input signal on your capture card, then traced that signal back to before the damaged capacitor, right? Great job!
Nothing connected to the audio inputs during testing. Just the composite input to probe the various points on the board to check for the video signal. Once I solder the new caps I just use the regular AV Multi Out cable but no sound testing before that stage.
Thank you! As long as you think you'd enjoy it, don't let any perceived lack of expertise stop you from tinkering. I barely know what I'm doing half the time but I always end up leaving a project knowing more than I did going in.
Just to confirm what I think I saw in the video, you have a regular meter probe alligator clipped to an RCA composite cable and fed into your capture card? That's pretty slick!
I'm no soldering expert and I've still managed to fix countless gadgets and appliances. Just buy a cheap soldering iron to start and have some fun with it. If something is already broken you don't have much to lose!
I appreciate the sentiment. I'm enjoying the repairs and restorations and learning a lot in terms of video editing. I'm thrilled this may folks are interested in what I'm doing.
Thank you very much. Funny you should say that :) I bought a TS100 last week and had a chance to use it in a recent video (replacing an internal GameCube battery). I certainly appreciate having a better iron and quality flux/solder. As a beginner I am glad I worked my way up to it though. The benefits may have been lost on me if I hadn't practiced on a cheaper setup first.
Have a friend who did mostly old consoles restorations and he told me about these specific models that often there is nothing broken it just need a solder reflow on few places or a good cleaning, people toss them out without even realizing it's a near perfect unit, basically by tossing it out only then creates actual further damage. Some shops also have these sitting for years and due to being in bad environment they accumulate rust. Also said that the ones he found just had rust on them even tho powered on and played games without issues, why were they in boxes for years in repair shops no one knows... Lots of ignorance and neglect is what kills these consoles and not manufacturing faults.
Apparently a common fault with these. You can also short the pins on the back (horizontally, not vertically) to manually close the switch if yours is broken altogether or something.
@@BorderlineOCD the switch seems to move up and down fine but I never thought about checking it with it opened up all the way. I also need a diagram so I can also check the fuses as well.
The only word I like better than 'cheap' is 'free' :) It can be true though, you'd be surprised how many folks throw something out when it stops working. I have a couple of consoles that I acquired for free but the majority are usually sold in lots advertised as non-working.
Just found you.... Fantastic fault finding buddy.... I'm just starting out in this repairing console world and have the same issue I think... Will let you know how I get on... Sub from me.... Keep it going 👍
@@nickabbott319 I'm afraid not buddy.... I switched nearly all of the capacitors out for new... Now the think won't turn on... Never mind no signal as before haha.... But im not giving up... I'm using my old psone as experience before I tackle my old ps3 ylod... Do you do repairs also?
Royston Evans Oh that sucks,I know sometimes it’s challenging to fix tech.Im glad you’ll keep going at it tho and hopefully your ps3 of yours will get fixed aswell.And oh no I don’t own a ps1,I just find these types of videos pretty cool
Amigo me parece que el problema era una soldadura por que respondia a la presión que le hacías con la punta de prueba, hubieras resoldado los capacitores, por que no vi si mediste los capacitores primero, buen canal por cierto, suscrito.
Electrolytic capacitors mark the negative side, not the positive, or cathode as you said. I know, it's backward from all other caps. They're special, I guess. You're bang-on otherwise lol. Good video!
Can you help me solidify my understanding? Do you mean cathode is the positive rather than negative or did I misunderstand your explanation? As for markings, the SMD had a dark stripe and these electrolytic replacements had a light (rather than dark) stripe but the stripe (dark or light) is always negative, i.e. cathode... :) Sound correct or am I still confused?
@@BorderlineOCD The cathode would be the positive end, and negative would be anode. Most of the time a capacitor has the positive side marked. However, electrolytic caps have the negative side marked. Some caps are bidirectional and aren't marked. Ceramic disc caps are bidirectional, for example. The caps you replaced were electrolytic, so you were right to match the marking orientations. Had those original caps been tantalum or some other solid SMD cap, you would've heard a bang. Electrolytic caps are quite violent when you're cramming those pixies up the wrong way lol 🤣👍

That console now has again many years of lifespan ahead. So satisfying :)
I'm gonna watch this channel grow to the hundreds of thousands
Wow, that's high praise indeed. Thank you for your vote of confidence.
Probably even millions!
OMG I would like to have that knowledge to repair things. In that way, I would never worry about my consoles again.

I do too! These videos really inspired me to want to do console repairs. Its so interesting.
That bootup sound never fails to give me chills
It takes me back to a certain time and place. Feels like a lifetime ago.
That bootupsound should have been used in all other playstations too. Nothing beats the original bootupsound

@@BorderlineOCD You are doing great job. Keep posting more videos!
"Just jerk it around a little bit and make sure it's in there really good". Best tech repair advice I have ever heard.
10:14 you can also check your previous recordings and see the orientation of the caps.

Can this be done in a ps2
Not sure. These particular caps are known to fail on the PSone. I’m not aware that the PS2 has the same known issue.

It's such a cute console
good job fixing. youtube should have a lot and a lot more of fixing things.
