Thank you Alex! It was my iiRCade Gold Edition you fixed! You can keep it as there is no way I can send you a pinball machine! 😅
There is always a way, however it would be rather stupid to do.
Those of us who own or work on arcade machines just need to inform Alex about arcade machine auctions in SoCal and let him shop for himself. A machine that needs a little work can often be had for a good price.
Failing that, he would probably enjoy a Pandora box just fine.
Maybe think about posting a video of the machine back up and running. I am building my own MAME/Emulator machine at the moment and I for one would appreciate seeing your machine running.
🌚
I’m an arcade technician and your videos have helped me tremendously in board repair. I’ve even repaired pinball machines. This was fun to watch.
Hi Rambo! I would like to become an arcade repair technician. I recently took an iPhone/mobile device repair class and advanced soldering class. They were both a week long. I am starting to build a repair workbench and got a rework station and some other stuff. I plan on buying old damaged units and learning to repair them myself. What is the best way to start learning as arcade specific repair? Thanks and have a great day.
Every time i solder SMD and everything goes as planned, I hear legendary voice in my head: "Look at this! We did amazing job!" 😊. Your mindset and skills give me extra motivation.
"It's an arcade motherboard, so the board wants to play games" hahahaha
Hi Alex, I'm a slot technician and repair slot machines for a living. I have been watching your videos for about a year now and they have really helped me tramedasly. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos
This is EXACTLY the basic skills I would love to learn one day: how to probe hardware for failures, measure individual components, look for shorts and figure out where the problem is without needing any schematics. A basic tutorial for each type of component and what values / currents / drops we should expect would be awesome!
So, you decide to watch guy, who test unknown board by plugging power supply without any measuring? Plugging twice? He is idiot! What you want to learn from idiot?!
NO schematic and balls of STEEL! Always a pleasure to watch you work sir. Thank you for sharing.
Alex is now a Pinball Wizard.
Great way to end the work day.
I worked at a pinball factory in my early years. One of the most fun jobs I've ever had. From assembly to board repair but final testing was a hoot. I thought it was my dream job. Imagine playing pinball for 8-9 hours a day and getting paid. Realistically, after a month, it wasn't fun. I transferred back to repair. That's a pretty small board compared to what we had in the 70's. Great video Alex. It could have been way worse.
“if my granfather had four balls he would have been a pinball machine” common way of saying in Tuscany, Italy! great repair Alex!
We say "If my Grandmother had balls, she would be my Grandfather" here in Greece. 😂😂😂
What a pleasure to watch. Thanks Alex!
Thanks for your time and efforts , as always good work and repair from Alex and big Boss.
Hey Alex, I noticed you haven't uploaded anything in a week. Just checking in to make sure everything's okay with you.
I am just fascinated by these videos. I have no clue how this stuff works but its awesome to see the process of troubleshooting and measuring components to figure out whats wrong. Lol
Good morning from Athens Greece. Nice job.!!!
Greetings from Germany. Great tutorial and repair. Keep up the good work. Always a joy watching and learning.
Ah, wie ich sehe, ein anderer Deutscher der seine Videos guckt :)
Alex, Love your videos. You should invent a programmable foot switch for a multi-meter, so you can switch between your 3 favorite modes without having to drop a probe. Keep up the great work!
Lmao the luckiest cap removal ever. Nice one 😂
I wouldn't be so sure! I've watched a few hundred of his videos and this is not a 1 off. I have seen him select the correct capacitor on the first try, many times. Alex is very good at what he does!
As always, awesome!
Have a good day Alex was just watching one of your videos! Just saw this as it was just posted on the feed.
Nice repair 🙌🏻 loved it !!
Great Job as always !
Very nice repair, you really are a professional. I was able to repair a Philips Perfect draft using your soldering technique.
It's crazy that such a tiny part can make you get rid of the whole pinball machine sometimes
Always the best! Hi from Italy
u should said okay gentlemen's we catched the bad guy 😂😂
thank you for a nice lesson
I was working on a Stern INDIANA JONES (c.2008) pinball today. Pinballs require a lot of love and attention. I already have 6 hours into INDY, and about another 6 hours to go when parts arrive. Power driver PCB needs some transistors too; this will be $1500 ticket to make it work like new. And a year from now, there will be a whole new list of problems. PINBALL TECHS STAY BUSY AS LONG AS OWNERS HAVE WATER-COOLED CREDIT CARDS.
Amazing talent. I wish I would have gotten this type of training. I'd be rich and everyone who knows me would be happy!
Awesome Job!
Great job!🎉
Good job! Respect 🤝🙂
Like this format. Keep it up sir
amazing fix 👍👍
Very nice work ☺
As usual, l loved the video 😊
I would have loved to see you use the atomizer!
Alhamdulillah
great work 🎉🎉🎉
Alex is a pinball wizard. 😎
Good morning from India
Better than the original Fantastic
Good day Alex

Good morning from Czech

3:58 upsss.... 😂😂😂
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Please come to South Africa I have many arcade machines and no one to repair like you
Best 👍
I'm watching this at 2:30 am! Is this a sign 🤔
Nice job, good luck getting a pinball machine 😂😂
Great job my friend
Twilight Zone table is a good choice 😉👍
Alex good job where is your Pink shirt you look cool in that God bless you bro 💖💖💖💖😍
Right!
Your cap looks better than factory. Yes sir, I would say so myself.
It would really help if you show how you measure and know when components are not working?.
That is key component of repairing
I'd love to have a pinball machine but the prices are crazy. I remember when I lived in Pensacola, I found a old Wild West shooting Gallery at a thrift store. Price to play was 10 cents. I refurbed it but when I moved I had to sell it.
what i find more fascinating is how fast his solder melts when blasting it with hot air one some high thermal mass boards without preheating..
when i set mine to 370C it takes forever and when its 420C the board gets charred and bubbles immediately, long before solder starts melting lol
Depends on what pinball machine you’re wanting
3:59 OMG
i've got an old sampler e-mu e4k that i required a chip swap to update the OD, i attempted this 15 years ago and tore a pad off and gave up. i'm guessing it'd be an easy fix for you but i also assume all the caps are bad now that its sat for so long... want to give it a go?
What's the status on the collaboration video with Jayz2Cents?
I've been looking forward to this for months now.
Parrellel caps have the same value. It wouldn't make sense for them to be different. Good find btw, you found the needle in the haystack.
Apparently sometimes they do for high frequency noise I've seen 0.1nf and 0.01nf caps placed in parallel on power busses a lot. This doesn't make sense to me but I keep seeing it in designs.
Hi Alex what LCR meter are you using?
Is that 10 uF cap polarized? That seems to be a very large value for a nonpolarized cap.
Dang, i had an label printer that did the spark. I did not know that was due to a short..😢
hey i wanted toi ask , did you develop your current northridge fix website yourself ?
the board wanna play games , we can play games to
🎲 💡The Wizard does it again!
Capacitors. The bane of every board 😢
You king of shorts
Hi friend, I'm looking for the board view of the Laptop Asus Rog Strix G16 - G614J, I can't find it on the internet, could you send it to me? I'm grateful
👍👌👍
Alex is so dang handsome.
So dreamy. lol
Alex , I can get you set up with a pinball . Hit me up !
allahi barek
sherlock holmes and columbo all in one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Even good caps go bad.
10:12 😆
. . . Scary how unreliable parts are today . . . 😮
طريقة تحدثك وتصرفك تشبه الطريقة الجزائرية هل انت عربي 😂
Thank god your name isn´t Jimmy, or your name would be "Jimmy´ll fix it"
🗿👀
Use your thermal camera - why don't you use electric tweezers instead of air - little faster - my opinion - that's what I use - good day
If it aint broke dont fix it, im assuming he uses what is comfortable for him and i imagine you are comfortable with what you use
First comment of the day from Burkina Faso.

Love from Pakistan
Damn caps.
It's tiny.
