Really enjoy the videos and the approach to helping the community of repairers and general retro enthusiasts learn more about their consoles and devices. Keep the videos coming.
Hi Luke, I have a sega 32x that doesn't display work properly. It plays mega drive games with a darkened colour palette and doesn't display 32x games probably. I recapped it myself and removed the ribbon cables and cleaned and reseated. Any experience with the 32x, not a lot of info about them. Cheers
Yep so the mega drive games are pass through when the 32x is on top so if they are dark with it on they should be dark with it off also. Meaning mega drive issue fix that first. Then check patch cable between the console and 32x is good quality and has continuity on all pins
Thanks for the reply. I may send it in for you to attempt to repair, as these are now really expensive to replace. It's been tested with a model 1&2 with same results so I don't think it's a mega drive issue. I've tried to diagnose it myself and I'm self taught like yourself but It's now beyond me.
@@KainUKyeah that's an issue with it passing through the video so couldn't tell you the issue off top of my head but I'm sure I could fix. Jump on discord.gg/RetroSix and share photos of the PCB close up all over and I'll possibly spot something
Not many people have an oscilloscope to test random components with, so it was a bit of an odd route to go down in a video teaching beginners about diagnosis. A visual inspection should have been the first thing, and if you did that you could have shown people the capacitor with the massive bulge. You just said that the oscilloscope tests didn't show us anything so we'll just replace some random capacitors. I expected better here. I too am self taught, and I know you're on such a higher level than I am, but I guess in this case too much knowledge blinded you from the simple path to the solution.
Appreciate the feedback but I think you completely missed the point here. We know the solution is the caps. What I wanted to show was how I start to diagnose and attempt to discover a way to identify with any tools a confirmed fault the capacitors cause. Once we identify that we can then find the best and easiest way to test with the simplest tools. But first we must find a way to identify it for sure without just blind swapping

Thank you for the videos, please keep going and teach us how to do it better.
São uma qualidade do melhor! Tive uma Gamegear reparada por ele/s. Esquece, é Muito bom.
What scope/software is that please.
PicoScope
If that was truly a 2001 model it would have a GPU fan (XBOX v1.0)
Nice pug. I have one myself 😅

Also cute pug, looks like a lighter version of ours 😁

Thanks he loves a good snack mid video 🐶

Thanks for clarifying @@RetroSix👍
