- In this video, I tackle the dirty smoky Dreamcast from "It's Mail Day 4". This thing is covered with smoke damage and stains. Sorry about the long length of this, but it took alot of work, and there was just a lot of content to include. I had to re-upload this, there was an issue with the first video.

Thanks for watching
I have no plans on repairing systems. I just enjoy watching him do this. lol.
I have no time to wash the dish as well lol
Enjoying these videos man!
Thats been in a house fire, baby! Telltale sign with smoke and some water damage (ive cleaned out a PS1 with smoke damage from a house fire clean up, and got it mostly working, the whole CD platter had to be replaced)
Plus dont hate on the bloke for a busted laser, if he can get it that good after what its been through, then job well done. You did well, Champ.
For future reference, you should clean the carbon/smoke damage from all the pcb's as it can become conductive if electricity is introduced, im surprised the dreamcast didn't short out on you when you turned it on, stroke of luck to be totally honest, but just to be safe.
Leaving that much soot (carbon) on a PSU is extremely dangerous , please give it a alcohol bath in some 99% Iso, dont rest it in the bath for more than 2 minutes, followed by scrubbing it gently with a toothbrush, rinsing it in alcohol again, and leave it outside for a day or two to dry, carbon is conductive and it will arch especially the high voltage side, you can even do the same for the motherboard and controller ports.
That’s how I scrub my testicles
Furry dp fuck me dead
Well, if there's enough carbon, it will simply act like a massive resistor and any short circuits along a tiny path will heat the surrounding carbon, connecting those particles, creating a large "surface trace" and simply get hotter, if left plugged in too long it may cause the socket to melt due to heat or trip the breaker due to the massive load or short, which is far more likely than melting the socket. Housing wiring doesn't fail that badly unless something is already wrong with them.
Though he still indeed should or probably already did as this is 6 or more months old by now

very interesting video, what's really strange from your approach is that you go really down to the last bolt dissembling the thing and leave many parts dirty when a simple wipe make a world of difference
yeah i can't stand that. how can you take apart like that and not clean it. water will not hurt metal. water will not hurt the circuit boards too. disc driver i woudln't get wet really though but everything else i would wash in sink to get it clean. as long as there is no power it will not really hurt it. let stuff dry and it will be good. use rubbing alcohol if afraid of water for some reason but just clean it already.
If you're worried about water, just use alcohol. He clearly has some.
@@james42519 Exactly get it all clean when you have it open...
Speaking of interesting videos, I saw a video review of the Sega Dreamcast on the Amazon app, and in the video the Dreamcast was smoking, and the man who purchased it called it "the worst product I have ever bought"
you can clean those boards in water, just let them dry thoroughly afterward. Watch the8bitguy for an example. that kind of grime buildup on the components cannot be good.
Especially considering smoke tends to be Carbon - And carbon is conductive..
BackForwardPunch I can swear I’ve seen people wash motherboards in a dishwasher
@@Kubulek17 dishwashers work great as long as there isnt components on the board that have crevices where water will get trapped. I usually put PCBs in the dishwasher, let it air dry, then let it sit on my truck's dash in the sun (as long as it isnt to hot) for a day or so. I have also cleaned keyboards that way.
I was thinking the same thing. TheThe8BitGuy is an OG. He’s the master of restoration cleaning!
If there's still some on it then use some alcohol with a qtip
That Dreamcast was in a house fire that was later put out by the fire department using water. That would explain the soot all over the unit and the square shape on top which was probably caused when a book of some kind was left on top and the fire commenced. The rust spots, not being many and isolated, are caused by the water used to put out the blaze. Dude you got a burnt Dreamcast. BUMMER!
Will V or it sat next to a fire place for years without anyone caring for it
alphacure mother, you just described the story of my life. ;)
Will V (ಥ_ಥ)o wow lmao sorry fam
alphacure mother, Sadly I often smell like an old burnt up piece of log, lol. I hope no one calls the fire department on me. ;)
*gives bucket of water* Just in case.
why not use baking soda and toothbrush on those harder to reach places? also why not clean everything while you had it deassembeled?
Why not get rid of all paper money and coins and go back to the barter system erasing all debt and forcing people to either learn a trade or starve ?
Dude is scurd to
I've dealt with smoke-damaged machines before. A friend was a contractor who worked for an insurance company cleaning up fire and flood damage and was always bringing me stuff with the potential for repair.
Easy and quick solution? Remove NVRAM/CMOS battery, discharge any capacitors, and toss the pieces in a dishwasher! I've even done this for optical drives and successfully got them working after drying and relubricating moving parts.
Paul Kastner that's a nice deal you've got yourself there. I'd love to get some free damaged stuff like that
I'm not sure what I'm watching this video or why I even clicked on it or why I was even suggested to me I don't know what I'm doing here I don't own a Dreamcast or have ever thought about owning a Dreamcast but I watched the whole video
I feel the same, but after I read your whole comment
Im eating a strawberry poptart in florida. Its raining outside. I also think my girlfriend is bi but she doesnt realize it yet. If you get ice cold enough it stops being slick and has a grip comparable to cement. Tesla over Edison all day. Im thinking of starting a youtube channel what should it be about ?
Shane Womeldorff eggs
I’m was eating my sandwich while watching this I don’t why but just left it on while I watch
@@shanewomeldorff7929 Clearly it should be about your girlfriend, but RUclips may not be the best place for it.
you can clean most electronics with water (do note that water with more particulates IS more conductive and the following wont work) you need to then let the device COMPLETELY dry, for instance, completely disassemble and leave in a dry area leaving plenty of space between components and waiting AT LEAST 12 hours, 24 to be safe, the more complex the device may require some slight alchohol rinse to remove ANY particulates left over, as simpler circuits typically have enough space between contacts to provide too much resistance to be conductive enough to worry about.
again, water doesn't destroy electronics, its when you use water and keep power running through the circuit that it causes a problem (capacitors should be taken into account as well)
All that much smoke looks like it was sitting near a grill for years, or some garage with Diesel machines coming and going.
Sometimes I find it interesting to make up theories about how was the life and storage of these used machines and what happened to them
What likely happened was that the console is a survivor from a house or apartment fire and smoked up while it still had power as just sitting the soot wouldn't have deposited so heavily on the inside of the machine. The internal boards need to be cleaned including the psu due to the carbon buildup.
The interesting part. Is that the p1 controller port was so full of smoke residue that you couldn't connect a controller. So the fan sucked the smoke in, but no controller attached? It's just odd
Well you probably have never experienced a house fire but I have and from my own experience shit does happen, I lost a home once to arson because some fucktard decided to do someone a "favor" and nearly got four peopled killed. I do sleep easier knowing that fucktard is spending time in prison.
You're right, scary stuff. Just odd though, unplug the controller but leave the system powered on? Maybe someone tripped on the cord? Who knows. Interesting to speculate
Whoa it became quite a topic while I was out!
I bet more on something a lot less tragic, like the sitting besides the coal grill. I've repaired and just opened up for fun quite a lot of stuff, and with kitchen stuff, you can really get grease on components that never saw light in their working life after assembled.
For example a portable tube TV I got from my neighbors once, was sitting on the kitchen shelf for years unused, it was easy to clean the outside of the TV, but the inside was amazingly greasy as well, even tho it was sitting unused with no forced ventilation through it.
I specially bet more on the grill or garage theory, because you can't see some specifically big accumulation of soot around the fan (where it would make sense to have), but anywhere near ventilation grills there is it, and specially, it has a lot inside the CD/GD drive as well. The top of the device can be cleaned with some cloth to remove the worst parts, but the inside was left as-is by the user trying to get rid of it.
Well, that's at least my bet on the story.
Ah! The famous revenant edition. Great work here.
man, I am glad I found this channel. I really enjoy all of these vids. Makes me want to start fixing ebay stuff myself.
I watch this before I sleep. Very relaxing.
This video helped me more than any of the disassembly videos online. I thank you so much for this
I have a couple ideas to share for the next smoky project, albeit I can't predict how well they'd work. They're tactics I use when I'm fixing a car to flip that work well for paint, glass, and plastics for me. The first thing I can't say enough good things for is micro fiber towels. I'd wager they could have scrubbed off most of that crap with less effort. When it comes to cleaning glass, I don't even use soapy anything anymore. Just clean, hot water works with the towels. When I still need something with grit, I'm fond of 3M Perfect It II rubbing compound. I'll use it shamelessly on plastics as much as I do paint. 3M also has a plastic polishing compound that you can tell is just an even finer rubbing compound. A dab of either on your micro fiber towel would have probably done fine on that case. I can't say for sure how destructive they might be to those imprinted logos, though. The plastic polishing compound might be more appropriate for your work. I hope I gave you something helpful.
For the plastics cleaning I tend to use Cif Cream. It works in most cases, and I havent ever damaged a thing. But to be honest I have never used it for game consoles, rather on old radios
KISSbestfan I’ve used it on a Dreamcast and i nearly rubbed off all the logos. Apart from that, did a cracking job.
I love when i find out a RUclipsr is also a fellow Canadian ❤
Such a satisfying clean up video for the dreamcast personally i feel a lot happier seeing you clean it puts a smile on my face 😀i hope you get it working and reading discs and I will look forward to the second part
new to the channel loving these videos plus a fellow Canadian... how did i know? mastercraft screwdriver!
For the record or future reference: the magic eraser (Melamine foam) is only mildly abrasive, and far from "basically sandpaper". Using it with rubbing alcohol isn't the most efficient way, as it works better with a detergent which acts as a surfactant, such as common household dishwashing liquid, to both add lubricity and to move the contaminants from the surface. Also, an ultrasonic cleaner works wonders for getting into the tighter areas, and can be had for a reasonable sum of money
That's fair. The main point was that it's not "magic" or a special chemical, it works by grinding away at debris. They will still take a logo clean off a system if you're not careful.
Oh for sure. Wonderful substance that foam is, though.
A tip for getting the yellowing in the cracks, you can use some baking soda with a little bit of water so it becomes a paste and use a toothbrush to scrub it away
You should clean the metal bars on the laser assembly and lube them up sparingly with silicone grease, oil is ok but will attract dust which will clog it up. Nice work on the cleaning process, you should definitely try to retro bright it to see if you can obtain it back to a pearly white.
Dreamcast controller port faults where all the ports stop working is *usually* due to the resistor fuse (smaller aqua colored resistor looking component on the controller port PCB) being blown. Simple fix to just desoldier the old and soldier in the new resistor fuse. Dont cheap out and replace it with a regular 1/4watt 10ohm resistor as that will remove the protection. Always replace resistor fuses with resistor fuses of the exact same rating, never a plain old resistor.
ErroneousClique correct. This one actually tested fine however, so I did not replace the fuse
~or replace with a blob of solder~
hehe just kidding but yeah... done that. Not proud of, but it's sometimes hard to ever find some correct sized fuse (even worse the specific rating). When they're the tiny SMD types for low current you'll usually not make some time-bomb if it fails, but sure will blow some stuff in case it does (usually some IC burns, but rarely something like shorting battery and making a fire hazard).
It's gonna be hard to tell the color now, hehe
Heck with all that, do the resettable Polyswitch fuse mod.
wow the dreamcast internals look extremely like the ps1 internals, maybe you could borrow some parts from a ps1, like the rusted spring with a spring for a ps1 cover
After cleaning with magic eraser.. I tend to use armor all on the plastic to restore and protect that plastic.
Not a bad idea, do you find out actually helps? In theory it should help protect against yellowing from uv
Aerospace 303 is a far superior product to use for retro consoles and carts. Armor all some times will leave white residue and can have adverse affects with some old consoles (different plastics compositions etc.)I have done several restorations myself and when I ran into this issue with armor all I researched and other game restorers turned me to aerospace 303. Does wonders for small fine scratches as well. In conclusion I don't recommend Armor all.
Elite Saiyan I've never had a problem with Armor All, but I've never used Aerospace 303. I'm gonna look in on that, thanks for throwing something new into my restorations.👍
That much smoke damage needs to be cleaned off of every component. It will act as a thermal insulator and possibly make connection shorts. You can clean the soot off with rubbing alcohol or just water. As long as the boards and components are completely and thoroughly dry, it should be fine. You can actually put a motherboard in a dishwasher, let it dry for a week, and it will work fine.
I had a console like this with the some pretty bad smoke problems. I was ocd to the to the point where I un-soldered everything from the Power board, cleaned it with alcohol and then re-soldered everything back to make sure I got everywhere.
Great video!
Now I don’t know how much these ‘magic erasers’ are, but they are called melamine sponges. You can get them SO CHEAP off AliExpress og similar sites.
I think the laser itself is damaged. Normally the laser will move up and down until it finds a focus on the spinning disc, and once it does, it will start moving forwards and back to read certain sectors and stuff.
You can test this by pushing(carefully) the laser part back and seeing if it returns to it's normal front position on power on.
I got hooked to your restoration videos... Damn it!
Awesome videos, i know there is a mirror inside the laser mech to bounce the beam up through the lenses that could be dirty also. Hope you can get this one working & cheers
if you leave the ribbon on the ODD connect to the laser side it is much easier to reassemble, I typically reassemble the laser assembly then connect it to the controller board 😉
I picked up a dreamcast with 2 controllers and all cables for $20 at the goodwill . Did I mention in very good condition and it works .
Nice pickup!
For that first lid spring spraying with wd40 and wiping clean is not recommended unless you follow up with something more viscous. Wd40 is great for cleaning but it will all eventually evaporate off, leaving the metal bare.
Hey, bud! Just started watching your videos. A LOT of them. Haha! As a bit of a "do what I can before discarding" electronics person with a fair bit of electronics and soldering history, I just wanted to offer a small bit of last ditch effort advice. I know it may sound worrisome, but HEY, you're about to condemn the laser anyhow! I find that if you "manually" push the laser down it's track with a slotted (flathead) precision screwdriver (to fit between the lasers primary location and the laser mechs body) it often gives a bit of a jar, and will return to it's home location and resolve the issue, and if not, hey whatever, its more than worth a shot! ;) Just subscribed. I enjoy your insightful (albeit a bit long, sometimes. haha) and educational videos.
My biggest problem with this particular video and a few of the older ones is that in this one he forgets to secure the cd laser to the shelding as he removed the screws during teardown. In some of the older videoes he forgets to put the light pipes back into the system for the led's.
I actually got a Dreamcast from a friend that doesn't work well, so I may use this, the one I have has dirt inside.
id recommend a good swab down with rubbing alcohol.
The Dreamcast is probably my favorite console but I remember them being quite fragile - especially the laser dying after a while. I went through three of them.
Yeah, those lasers just don't seem to hold up. Especially if you play alot of burned games on it. They're not cheap to replace either. I can get an entire Dreamcast for what a replacement laser assembly costs.
You can directly put alcohol on the magic eraser, it works way better and doesn't disintegrate as fast!
I've cleaned smoked computer boards by soaking in alcohol and then used an airbrush to sweep away the crud.
Canned air would work as well if no airbrush is available.
I have been waiting for this!! Awesome!
Normal soap or detergent and a brush. Like a tooth brush. Does the job. For PCB's I submerge them in isopropyl alcohol and brush them
I am sure this video will help a lot of people. Well done!
Springs are super easy to make. Just need some wire and a rod to coil it around.
If you use ipa for the parts you can't get to with a tiny brush it will remove all the yellowing & be safe to clean the circuit board
No need to use water in electronic parts you think would be damaged by it.
You can use isopropyl alchool to clean everything since it evaporates fast.
That way it will be cleaner and neat.
Also distilled water is good for washing electronics. You'll need to wait until it dries out though.
I would have tried to retr0brite it may have done the final brightening you would have preferred. But good job!
Mike X I thought about it, but retrobrite uses a chemical reaction to reverse the natural yellowing from uv exposure. This is smoke damage, I didn't think it would work as intended, plus takes much longer
A little late to the game, but great video!! I'm very surprised it didn't stink of smoke with all the soot and smoke damage! I can't imagine it would dissipate naturally.
As i recall, it did smell a bit, but not awful. Probably sat for years like that.
RetroRepairs I’m very impressed at how clean it got!
This was a very helpful video. Thanks, RetroRepairs!
U need a old tooth brush for under the lid and other hard to reach spots.
You could try glassfiber brush on those hard to reach places. But as with the magic eraser, it's hard on surfaces so don't go too hard for too long.
thank goodness for the reupload, i was halfway through it when it went down! lol
haha I knew you wouldn't show the struggle with the ribbon cable! I hate them things!
Amazing transformation. Good job!
You can put pcbs in the dishwasher. Just turn of the dry cycle and let the board air dry for a week. I can't think how else you'll get that soot off without nasty chemicals.
Hey Adam, I truly enjoy all of your videos, I’ve learned so much. I have a quick question that you might know or anyone else here on your channel. I have a Sega Dreamcast that I got off Ebay(fixer upper) and it came with the wrong case screws. Do you know what size/type I would need to get to match the original?
jeepnII I believe they are 12mm #2 philips screws. I found that listed on some teardown instructions, so it may or may not be accurate. I don't have a good way to measure the threads,
This makes my dreamcast look clean
I usually do one screw at a time and drop them into my hand, never thought of a towel not sure how much easier it would make it, but seeing has you only have to flip it once with a towel it might be a more logical way to do instead of flipping it four times
Push the lazer to the farthest point back on it's rails, and then see if it starts working, it looks like it may have just been pushed too far forward on the rails for the teeth to grab.
This looks like a Dreamcast model 2. I’ve repaired a model 1 before and it looks very different from that when it comes to RF shields and GDR drive
Edit: no wait they’re the same I fell asleep at 25 minute mark and woke up when you were inspecting the GDR drive. Me falling asleep doesn’t mean your video is boring It was 3AM and my eyes were heavy.
Lithium grease the bars on the laser assembly and clean those boards with isopropanol. I'd go as far as to clean up the fan and all the other areas with a Qtip and say glass cleaner. Looking forward to seeing how faryou get with restoring the laser, and if you find a supply of replacement lasers then please share.
Thermal paste? There’s two thermal pads, not paste, one on top of the CPU and GPU.
There’s also two smaller thermal pads (seen in the video) on the underside of the CPU and GPU on the bottom half of the RF shielding, protecting two smaller chips underneath each of the main components.
You could have lifted that top RF shielding plate no problem to inspect the motherboard. Would have been interesting to see how it fared.
I am surprised that fan isn't louder than what it is, or your camera's audio is not picking it up. It would definitely be worth doing the silent fan mod, and psu replacement mod for that unit. The psu I have seen far less do far more damage and with how much dust and smoke damage is there I would worry about it being a fire hazard on its own at that point. isopropyl alcohol to the max with that board but its still high risk unfortunately.
I have a PS2 that seems to work fine, other than the fact that it won't load games past the logos, and *barely* plays DVDs. I was wondering if the disc reader could be fried or if there was something else going on? I was going to just sell it, however I still have some games that I'd like to play again. (*Cough* FFVII)
Good chance it's the disc laser. I've had issues with every ps2 I've owned, some read better than others, or just not at all
I love Dreamcast. Under rated system IMHO. I think it deserved more attention.
I bought one brand new for cheap and I enjoyed playing a few games on it. I made the mistake of letting someone borrow it that I thought was a friend. I never got it back. I'm certain he sold it for drugs or to repay someone he owed money to.
A few years later I bought one off ebay for $20 and it came with a few games, controllers, etc. Seller told me it powered up but it had trouble reading games. Most lasers can be tweaked or replaced, and I've done it before, so that's pretty much what I expected. Funny thing is that when I got it and checked it out I had no trouble playing any games at all. What luck.
Some of my fav DC games have since been ported to newer consoles (Jet Set Radio is one) but there is 1 game I love from my time playing DC that I wish would get a modern port and that's Record of Lodoss War.
Dreamcast was an awesome system. Too bad Sega made some bad decisions leading up to it that it never really had a chance. Heck, we never saw the display in a controller again until the wiiu, or i guess technically the ds had a secondary display too
@@RetroRepairs DC was easy to pirate games, which I feel may be one of the reasons it failed.
I enjoyed the VMU, but dealing with batteries was ridiculous when you found a fun minigame. Playstation 1 had a VMU as well, but it never released outside of Japan, despite initially being promoted for Final Fantasy 8 stateside.
There were a few bigger reasons for it failing. One, it had to compete with the PS2, which to this date remains the top selling console of all time. (Plus it came with a DVD player, which was expensive at the time)
But Sega was super dysfunctional, especially the relationship between Sega of America and Sega of Japan. Goes back to the Genesis and 32x. Long story short, they launched the 32x in North America with moderate success, but Sega of Japan had been secretly accelerating development of the Saturn and announced it shortly after the 32x was released. This killed the 32x here, as why buy one when a real console was just around the corner. Then the saturn dropped in 95, was discontinued in 98, Dreamcast came in 99, and by that time, Sega had released the Sega CD, 32x, saturn and dreamcast all in the span of 7 years. People were getting annoyed that their new console or add-on was becoming obsolete so quickly.
@@RetroRepairs Might just be my opinion but I think the 32X had amazing potential that definitely was never realized.
I agree about Sega being kinda dysfunctional. 2 different Genesis models. 2 different Sega CD models. 32X. Then Saturn's incredibly short life span and Sega's refusal to bring over certain games (Like the rest of Shining Force 3)
I'm feeling really nostalgic here. I had a lot of good times on Sega consoles back in the day, and there are still games I have yet to play that I hope get ported one day.
The different types of models is nothing new though. All major systems except the n64 have done it. There was a toploader NES, SNES jr. Wii mini, PSOne, PS2 slim, xbox one x/s, ps4 pro.
But you're right, had the 32x been given a chance, i think it could have done fairly well. Unfortunately it launched in North America first, then sega of Japan announced the Saturn would be coming much sooner, and essentially made it DOA.
@RetroRepairs when I got my Dreamcast it would not read games. I thought the laser was dead as well because there was no red laser like a normal disk drive. Appearently if you didn't know this already Dreamcast do not have visible lasers so when j found that I was able to do a POT tweak and it instantly started reading disk and have had no problems since. Figured I would share that information with you.
Something tells me this thing was in a house fire and got the better end of it by not melting in the heat, however collecting all the soot instead.
The laser wasnt moving up and down, check the teeth on the slider assembley, maybe lube the track, if not then perhaps a new laser is due
Hey Adam, can you do a video on replacing an OG Xbox clock capacitor while highlighting how to identify the various revisions? I also have a PS3 fat, 60GB, that doesn't work. It has a red light but does nothing else. I would be interested in sending it to you for repair. I would pay for the parts and shipping. Just let me know. Great stuff as usual.
Doesn't thermal paste dry out. And you don't want to open it to clean because there's thermal paste connecting the board to the heatsink.
Definitely think you needed to clean it more left way to much on the inside parts
Those "brass" screws, are more likely electro plated steel screws. Easiest way to check that, do they stick to a magnet? Real brass screws = expensive.
If I got it in this state, there would be no mercy for parts you can't see. I would just clean everything as much as I can without damaging it. If nothing else, depending on part, paper towel, toothbrush,... and alcohol.
And I really wonder what happened with that console... I mean was it like:
Mom: Run out! House is on fire!
Son: Mom, leave me alone, I am playing games!
Mom: Fuck this shit...
Mom gives up and runs out.
:-D
You forgot a couple of screws inside the laser assembly. They held the black plastic to the metal casing.
Yep. I added them back in but trimmed it for time
Forget Arcade Fire, it's Dreamcast Fire now!
Instead of alcohol you can use Windex in combination with the magic eraser and it does a much better job. I cleaned up the back of an IMAC and alcohol wasnt doing anything so I tried Windex and the shit that was on it melted off
the smokey one looks great, now put a clear case on and replace all the diode to led's.lol
Should use rem oil to clean the non electrical metal parts like the spring
Instead of removing the ribbon cable from the laser chassis why not remove it from the bottom circuit board which would make it easier to get it put back together.
Retro repairs I wish you could tech me how to fix up consoles like you do I love fixing stuff and would be awesome if I knew
OMG your videos are so satisfying 😍
God I miss playing games..haven't had enough cash flow to buy a new ps4 or an xbox lol died from boredom many times and I gotta find a console soon I might just fix a console just so I can play lol this gives me hope
you can also retrobrighting the plastic to make it pure white.
That would be bleaching, not retrobrite. This is the original colour, comparable to my main personal unit
I use a disposable dollarama toothbrush or q-tips to get into tight spots
Clean EVERYTHING!
Great work! I hope the laser will work in the next episode 👍 you are the best 😁
Awesome video
There was a fire.. then they put out the fire lol dope video I'm subbed now
Great DIY video!!
Holy shit... were they doing bong hits through it?
Got the same problem. It was the contacts between PSU and mainboard...
"I think thats smoke"
Ya think?
This is oddly satisfying.
I always wanted to put all the smackdown games and port it emulate that ps2 library.
Hahaha!!! It's literally the first thing you do, in the follow-up. 🤣🤣 FML
*in Bill Nye's voice* "science rules"
I love restoring consoles!Even if they are as ditrty as your dreamcast is!Where do you find these?Please tell me
One of the lazy things I like to do in situations like this is just give it a bath of alcohol
