@ It is messy, yet so fun and satisfying. I was doing a 0.1mm trace repair yesterday on a non-removable board inside of a 40mm 4 wire fan. Was shocked I managed to get the soldering iron tip down inside. Everyone should give it a try. One day I might even invest in a microscope.
I listen to all of the intro songs. Loved the Rapper's Delight homage today. I'm a 44 year old nerd, but even my teenaged daughters think that your flow is pretty solid and that this is a better way of thanking your Patrons than just listing them.
And i really loved the take-me-back-to-Sugarhill Gang memory lane trip but I also always really really like the music that you use between the different steps.
Good shout Emilio! I do try and remember but it quite often slips my mind! I'll definitely try harder in future videos, even if it's just a voice-over or text on screen! 👍
Can I thank you for showing me the superglue + baking powder thing. I was able to fix my son's broken shoe this morning when he told me it had a hole in the sole. One piece of flexible plastic glued on later, disaster averted and he has a working shoe until I replace it later. Thank you so much!
Got to say this channel is the best on RUclips love everything about this I don't know anything about electronics or microchips etc but just great to see what you do and of course love the English humour solid lol its almost therapeutic
Awesome video! Your original video is how I fixed my own! As for the cause, it seems like a lot of us that used raspberry pi 3 power supplies had this issue. That extra .1 volt maybe?
I'd love to see a video where you explain a little more about what you are using and where you get it from, ie tools, or the wire, what it is, is it just a thread of copper (I assume not) etc etc
I looked up the data sheet for that chip. Pins 4 and 5 are D- and D+ for Port 4 and pins 10 and pins 11 are D- and D+ for Port 1. I thought for sure you wouldn't get controller one to work. I wonder if maybe controller 1 is hooked up to port 4. Either way, if that's got spots for 4 controllers, I think 2 of them are not going to work.
I remember playing parasol stars when i was like 4 years old. i could never find any of the gameplay anywhere cus i couldnt remember the name but finally i know it after watching this video xD thank you!
If theres a problem, yo, Steve will solve it, lets chill with dave while he wicks up the solder...... Doo dooo dooo de de doo doo NICE. Solid work as per usual. Hope vannilla ice isnt rattling around in the head of whoever reads this, if so I do apologise. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've been using high heat resistant epoxy to re-adhere loose pads or replacement pads, especially for anchor pads, for a while now and and it works quite splendidly.
Little tip when you have loose pads that are still connected smooth them down flat cover with a thin layer of solder mask cure to rock hard then scape back to copper' more easy than replacing pads/traces ....
Stupid Rainbow Stars Parasol Island
Parasol Stars is Bubble Bobble 3, you were right that Rainbow Island was Bubble Bobble 2.
11:24 But this isn't Bubble Bobble II, this is Bubble Bobble III :)
It seems your projects get easier but in reality you're just getting way better ! Well done Stez.
Definitely the latter: trace replacing is a very messy job, and doing it on the first try is an achievement.
Thanks M.! Yeah, I would've struggled with this a couple of years back. Definitely feel more comfortable doing it now! 😍

@@StezStixFix Thank you for not being modest.
I was gonna say.
Steveo, Check out the title screen at 11:24 you were playing Bubble Bobble 3. Thats why you got confused fella!
Solid!!!
Really appreciate this, the Core Grafx will definitely be taking pride and place in the mancave collection!
My pleasure! Thanks for sending it over to me and I hope it carries on working well! 😍
Didn't know they had made a new "mini" version!
Proper howling at my shoutout! Thank you x
🤣 glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for the capture card, it worked a treat! You're a star 😍

Man, that pad for pin 2 refused to give up!
Excellent work Steve. Those little jumpers are starting to look easy. 👍
Thanks Chris! Having the microscope makes it much more fun! 😁
And i really loved the take-me-back-to-Sugarhill Gang memory lane trip but I also always really really like the music that you use between the different steps.
Your intro is one another level. Always new and fresh
¡Gracias!
Fixing a broken thing then using that broken thing to fix ANOTHER broken thing is true satisfaction 💯
Nice one, Steve! I dunno why, but I always get the urge to look away when you put on the UV light 😅
🤣 Thanks AFU!
That's pretty fluxed up.
Your trace fixing has reached new heights. Great stuff Steve.
"Core" Blimey- another fantastic fix by Captain Bodge himself😅😅
Captain Bodge to the rescue! 😁
Nice one Steve ! And Amazing song!. You know what could be useful for someone like me? If you can say which temps do you use for solder/de solder.
Good shout Emilio! I do try and remember but it quite often slips my mind! I'll definitely try harder in future videos, even if it's just a voice-over or text on screen! 👍
Super talented RUclipsr my favorite repairs learned so much keep up the fantastic videos 😁
Who else sticks around here for like 20% for the fixes but 80% for HIM?
My favourite mini console, that menu music is just awesome
Great fix as always ! S-O-L-I-D
Have to say, this has become my favourite channel on RUclips.
The music in this video even sounds like a PC Engine CD game. Between that guitar tone and the synth bells at least
Nicely Done Steve 👍 Great Video as always :)

Neat one Steve gg !
Thanks Bruno! 😍
Great to see you in more goofy spirits! Fantastic video as always - and that capture card footage looked great!
Best rap you’ve done yet IMO. Can’t go wrong with rappers delight.
Got to say this channel is the best on RUclips love everything about this I don't know anything about electronics or microchips etc but just great to see what you do and of course love the English humour solid lol its almost therapeutic
Brilliantly done Steve thanks
Nice
the musics... oh so nostalgic 16bit era
Excellent video, Steve. Looking all SOLID xD
great background music on this one. nice repair, too!
Nice fix again Steve, well done.
Is it just me or the raps are getting better everytime ? 😂
Great video Steve! I really enjoy your problem solving skills...and also the songs too!😂 Man that game capture looks great too.
Cheers for the upload Steve.... missed them

Got lucky with the pads there! 😅
Definitely, it could've been so much worse! 😬
Another great video… thanks Steve.
Is ‘VOS’ available to sing at my wedding?
Best Patreon segment yet! That was great haha
I’m very surprised!! You did a goos job!
I really really enjoy your videos, great continue please !!!!
Excellent repair and video Steve!!! 🐺😁

Props to “Repairs Delight” Nice!
The VoS musical interlude is giving off Will Smith vibes this week. I dig it
Hello steve! I love your videos.. keep it up!
Yeah Steve,it's Look and not Luke.
i feel guilty skipping the song. whenever when i do skip it though it reminds me to click the thumbs up.
Thanks for making me laugh Steve, love the vids!
I remember playing parasol stars when i was like 4 years old. i could never find any of the gameplay anywhere cus i couldnt remember the name but finally i know it after watching this video xD thank you!
I do like when you post your RUclipss,keep it up,thanks
Nice fix
Bizarrely, Gordon the Gopher is a bit controversial nowadays. 😮
Your choice of incidental music suggests you might be a fan of Camel... if so, please come out as there are precious few open Camel fans in the world!
Excellent fix. You are a genius
Once again, great vid. Nice job
If theres a problem, yo, Steve will solve it, lets chill with dave while he wicks up the solder......
Doo dooo dooo de de doo doo NICE.
Solid work as per usual.
Hope vannilla ice isnt rattling around in the head of whoever reads this, if so I do apologise.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
RMC collaboration, yes
Another quality and entertaining video ty !
That's a lot of Jumpers for Summertime 🤣
How much did you have to pay Mick to sing there at the end? Money well spent!
Stop it, that photo of Kip!! 😂😂😂
Kip the Kip Hakes.
I've been using high heat resistant epoxy to re-adhere loose pads or replacement pads, especially for anchor pads, for a while now and and it works quite splendidly.
Stez is here. Yeah
Great video stez
StezStix Fix!!!!!!
Rainbow Island must of been the most adictable game in the known universe. Spent many a 20p playing it. Ahh the good old days.
Nice video i like the humor 😂
Great fix. How did you work out the three you left didn't need wire traces added?
Some people woke up in a new bugatti
Stez woke up in a new capture card 😂
I almost fast-forwarded, but I like this little rap.
Little tip when you have loose pads that are still connected smooth them down flat cover with a thin layer of solder mask cure to rock hard then scape back to copper' more easy than replacing pads/traces ....
Steve I love you ❤
Bubble Bobble II IS Rainbow Islands, but the game you chose was Bubble Bobble III, which is Parasol Stars lol
Restorer's Delight!
Great job
Nice. Who's playing on that chill guitar music
The PC engine should pay you for a buy back scheme to fix these things
LOL
Bubble Bobble
Rainbow Islands
Parasol Stars.
My dream retro console, one day I will own one 😊
awesome video, great song
Ceefax™️ called and they want their music back 🎶
Uuuuh. The rap is getting funky!
you can use solder mask top and bottom of the loose pads first - to save them from coming off - save urself work
As always incredible fix!! What's the name of the ending song Stez is covering?? I feel like I remember it from way back in the day
For anyone curious, its Stars by Simply Red!! Great tune
According to the game splash screen, Parasol Stars is Bubble Bobble III, not II.
Is there ever a time when a bit of Simply Red isn't called for?
I shouted through the wall at a dog and it shut up. Maybe I'm its master.
nice solid fix and video :)
GET IN
What's the small grinder you're using at 8:18?
Love the Rap On This One Great Work
That's cool but what is it? Some kind of Mini clone system?
The rap is back with a vengeance 😄
What's the UV lamp you are using to cure the solder mask?
mad skills
