Thank you so much for this!! By showing how you take it apart as well as put all the parts back together, i can finally work on my Xbox Green Halo console with a disc tray that won't open!! lm going to watch all your videos and subscribe!! Thank you!!

Cheers man really helpful video, my spring was also a little low on the hook which didn't help. It is 29 years old though

Is 60/40 okay for soldering wire? Or does it need to be specifically 63/37?

Not sure if you’ll see this but I’ll hope for the best, Could you make videos on how to hook up: 1.Ps1 2.Sega Genesis 16-bit 3.Sega Dreamcast: Sports-edition Recently while clearing out my step dads garage to move in we came across him and his siblings old consoles (and we even think we might have a Nintendo 64 and NES System hidden away somewhere cause we found games, controllers, and cables) we’ve been able to bond over our love of vintage games and this video has helped us fix the PS1’s we found. I hope to clean all the consoles up and see if they still work soon and I thought you deserved a much larger audience and views on your videos so I just wanted to write my thanks to you down here for helping us out. The video was super helpful and simple to follow that we were able to fix them both in less than 15 minutes. Again just wanted to say thank you a bunch for the video and I hope you keep making them and helping more people enjoy vintage gaming for years to come.

could you point me to the proper link to buy the power supply?

386 subs? Lemme change that to a 387

Where did you get the special Nintendo bit? And what's the measurement?

This was a great how to video, probably the best. But you need to a better job with your link to the replacement drive belts. Not all drives take the same drive belt. At least tell people that they need to do the research and find out what type of drive they have .

But.. my motor is spinning the wrong direction its spinning the direction to take in the disk. Not put it out. And it constant

Thank you worked perfectly 👍🏽

Nice guide, thanks. Is the bumpy side always the negative? and the positive the one with the writing on the battery?

My Air Force buddy got it for me when we were stationed in Florida in 2002, and I still have it. Just the game and box.

Ty for the video boss.

Thanks your video really helped me and saved me money from buying a spare ps1 for parts it works great now😅

it's gonna be probably a dumb question but what's the reason for removing the soldering ball in a new laser?

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I bought a PS1 for like $60 at a vintage fest and it had this same issue. I did what you did and it works now

About to try soldering for the first time to replace my Pokemon Gold battery! Any last minute tips for a beginner?

So I have a question so I want to play a game and all I have been able to get is it says reading disc how long should it take and is that really true for the game disc to take a long time to read

Can I just use dish soap and water to get most of the dirt out instead of isopropyl alcohol

Thank you

Great video bro, i didn't know hyperkin made and hdmi converter. Def will have to check it out now.

Already did clean it still sounds like a jet engine

Did this didn't work

I thought that u had to replace the button lol😂

I have jvc tv new with av :)

Most relaxing Brian Eno-ish background music ever 👌. Helpfull video too!

Thanks man! Bought a Pokémon crystal, battery was no good. Followed your steps, and now she saves!! Thank you!!

PS4 got lung cancer

Also skeptical but really glad I watched (as my issue seemed to be different and more to do with the spring) - however, I followed this and now the button is working fine! Big thanks

Thanks a lot lad, it solved my problem!!!

I was skeptical because my unit was pretty new and not dirty, but I followed the instructions and it worked! The button was totally stuck and now it works great!

Love the closeup shots, so we can really see what we're looking at. I've seen way too many videos that do not show these intricate details. Great video and voice over while detailing instructions!

Thanks

Always so soothing to watch videos like this where they disassemble electronics. Also, a guide on how to fix things would be cool, too. Great vid man.

Very informative, though i didnt have any solder braid i still managed to do it without making a mess

Thank you so much for this. I can sell my ps1 now.

Which type of your socket replacement?.

Nice 😍

wow, that one was in a great condition 🤩

That’s freaking disgusting!

What a gorgeous background ambient track.

Such a thorough tutorial 👏 I would like applaud the additional descriptions you made about whether you should feel resistance etc, at different stages. I wish more tutorials where as helpful as this!

I want use CRT-monitor's :D

I clicked on the video with the intent to post a mocking comment but as the video loaded I remember having to set up the NES for my mom and such growing up 🤣🤣

Well explained thank you. I have several xbox controllers that don't work Would love too see you repair one of those.

Hi, thanks taking the time to put this together. Nice job and presentation. I followed the steps but I didn't do something correctly. When I tried to test, and powered on, the lense didn't stop moving up on the control bar. It's like the bracket on the right of the lenses isn't connected properly to the control bar or the lenses doesn't detect when it's needs to move back. Not sure if you have experienced something like that before.

Wow way easier disassembly than modern consoles.

this console was very popular in Russia. its so nostalgic, especially this grey fat version. There were game clubs where we could play it for money. My favourite games are fighting force, vigilante 8, syphon filter and meda of honor. How about other countries? Was it so popular either?

are you an asmrtist? because you are sooooo soothing!

Yes, i've got the same problem on my 5502
