Im slowly gaining confidence in soldering and keep telling myself I should start recaping my consoles sooner than later. Your lab/workspace is amazing I wish I had access to all this equipment.
Bruh actually replaced the 68uf caps with another 68uf. Here in brazil a LOT of clueless "technicians" will replace the 68uf caps with 100uf ones, since fiding 68uf's with low voltage is hard here. The result is the decoder chip frying and giving you a black screen after some use, lol.
Awesome video! I'm in need of some help, would you know or be able to help identify the SMD resistor in the "FIL11" slot on the back of N64 board. I'm getting a 1.3 OHM reading with the multimeter, but not 100% sure if its 0201, 0402, 0603 type?

A soldering iron that can maintain good temps is really all you need. A fairly decent starter soldering iron can be obtained for under $40 or so.
This channel is so underrated. Hopefully more people will find it soon. Keep up the good work !
Much appreciated!
100% Agree, it's easy explaining and showing whats going on in a normal understandable way.
I bought a recap kit and plan on doing this myself. Thanks for the video guide!
No problem. I'm glad you're keeping the N64 alive.
i like the little fun cuts and edits, lol. good vid, keep up the good work (thumbsup)
Glad you like them!

The N64 needs recap?
I only knew about the GameCube DVD drive board, once done reads discs again without issues and without touching the laser pot.
Excellent video, where can I get the capacitors?
Thanks. Digikey or mouser.
Awesome bro, muy bien.
Thanks

Thank you. I imagine its a 0603 and I get a 1 OHM reading out of it.
Pls do a GameCube and PS2 slim recap!
I shall add them to the list
Nice!!
Thanks
Where did you het these caps? Cant find them
