Nick where can you buy that extended battery rom pack? That is really handy..!

Great video! I've done the HSIO screen a few times now, and it's a very similar process. Looks good!

Underrated video

Great work..!! I wish i couldt fix those things like you do..

Awesome work! I've got around ten or so old laptops I'm going through reviving. Currently working on a Compaq LTE Elite 4/75CX that's almost untouched. Waiting for a belt for the Citizen W1D. The drive looks brand new other than the deteriorated belt. Not a spec of dust.

I was watching a different video then it skip to this one and I looked up and was just shocked and was like what have you done 😂. Then I realise that you were fixing that Massacre of a mod. Good work at fixing it.

Definitely gonna need to try this! Great video I'm glad someone made this kind of video because the proprietary power cable is annoying

Cant you notice the light patches emiting from the bottom? Its not a permanent fix, you need to get the backlight patches fixed too

Wouldn't it be funny if those ali-chips were from a scrapped Compaq Portable 2 memory expansion card? 😃

Nice work! Could install Windows 3 now at least

Great job! But I'm surprised that you insert ali-chips without testing them first. For me it's always the assumption that not only they are fake, but also not working. So I always follow the rule "check first, insert later". Saves a lot of time. I'm planning to build a self-designed 5160 replica, together with a replica of CGA videocard and replica of adlib, and I can already see that fake chips are going to be a problem.

AWESOME!! I absolutely adore my Portable II and now having this available is brilliant. Well done to all those involved. And if you’ve got no real use for it……. 😜

I'm so jealous!!! Very nicely done! I'm still struggling with my Compaq Portable III and Compaq Portable 386.

Super enjoy the video 👍🏼. Trying to replicate it now 😅

This was cool to watch. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I had no idea a guy could do that.

I've got one that comes with 3 games and a light/magnifier. It doesn't work well enough for my liking. But I'm thinking of selling it for $60CAD, do you think that's a reasonable price? I was just trying to do some research and came across your video.

Hi mate. Where did you find the transistors?

Whats the specs on that Tant cap you replaced because I believe I have the same problem, are there schematics anywhere for this board?

It's a shame you aren't getting the views you deserve.

I skipped to the conclusion. I just have to say; the way you speak there makes me feel like I'm hearing the pilot make an announcement on a commercial airline, just without the euuuuhhhh. It's a compliment by the way. Very mellow and comfortable :)

Interesting. Since you had to run a wire to the A17 pin of the EPROM, is it possible to only fold it outside to make the whole process reversible?

Dude!! Thanks for you help with this vid I had to replace the belt in mine and would have never got it back together without this! I’m still having issues with cd skipping is there any possible replacement or retro fit that I could replace the laser reader with? It could also be the motor that spins the disc because there is a distinct clicking when it starts up

Wich liquid green u use?

Realizing that you've got to be careful to retain the seal, it still doesn't seem like it should be so hard to replace the batteries. Maybe Braun wants to make it so hard that you just buy a new toothbrush.

Hello, I have a toshiba satellite 430 CDS. There is an "external" floppy disk drive with a citizen W1D inside that I want to replace. I saw that Openflops w1d works for the Toshiba T4400CT. Should I rationally think it will be OK in my case ? Thanks.

Nice project! I didn't know so many test suites existed. I think I'll have to look into it some more since I'd like more test carts for different systems.

Fascinating. It's something I haven't done myself but I'd love to give it a go. 👍

cool dude.

Great job! Thanks for the video! Congrats on a successful project!

You were lucky that the electrolytics have not eaten legs of the small Zener diode in the power supply area ^^ The systems I had needed ultrasonic bath to remove this awful capacitor juice. This crappy juice hiddens under the heatsinks... My toughest recapping job until now is for a PCEngine LT, I learned a lot about soldering skills on it ^^

Great job you did,could use those handy hands on some of my consoles

What about modding a Nvidia Shield TV 2015 (Non-Pro) to add a HDD/SSD? Found your video while looking for that. Enjoying this video.

That accent lol

Great to sell you my 32x today. Let me know how it goes.

what's the potentiometer used on these boards?

It looked like on the side that the chip was on had a couple traces to the left that look broken? Maybe it was just the angle of the camera.

Take a look at the SIDKick-pico. It is just as good as the ARMSID but a fraction of the price and you can build them yourself.

You've now fulfilled the mandatory C64 repair video to qualify as a legitimate Retro Channel. 😁

My rampage is the game in my collection that's done this as well

I've thought of doing this with some broken key switches.

Nice another liberated computer that can be build from standard parts and your reverse engineered Mitec-2

its rare, but sometimes the Eprom dies for years. Have one Mega Drive Cartridge from Tengen, didnt work to.

Epoxy Chip is unacceptable.

Stupid video

I was fascinated to see how my favourite console's cartridges were constructed, but what a huge disappointment.

I don't get it. With a game this old we should be able to see the actual transistors or a shining grainy look. Wtf.

Still less fragile than a micro SD card...😅

Try wiggling the game while it's inside and find a position where it works. That's how it's done on other game systems including the Game Boy line.

Very interesting. I always wondered what these and hu cards aka turbo chips look like in the inside

I'm suspicious of the VIAs. They look like just they're rivets with no solder, as if they're just pressure fit. I would flux them and solder them just to see if that makes a difference.
