I love the irony of this video. Buying a solderless GameCube mod chip but needing to fix the controller ports by resoldering the ribbon cable, lol.

Does anyone have a list of what he has and is needed to make these replacements

R74 is too low of a value, Q8 is at risk of having to deal with even more current and burning it up again....use the kit from retrosix, the have it the right way

Has anyone got any info on why a link must be adding that pin to ground on the chip, I can’t find anything on it at all.

If you use distilled water the water will corrode right through the tank. Even stainless. Any steel with derust in citric acid. The hammer face has been annealed to reduce brittleness. The ultrasonic sped it along, but the citric acid soak would have had the same result.

after 9 years it help me to find the discdrive fail! Thank you!🎉

The 1n4148 isn't a zener diode.

Looks like my pins are barely touching. Do you have a video for readjusting them? Dont want to force it and damage them

Thank you soo much...I had by doubt.. now it's clear.

Very cool clip! I modded my Falcon and installed a SCSI2CF. And together with the new super silent fan you get the impression the machine is broken when you switch it on. It's that quiet...

Ty for the bonus ripped pad fix 'how to'!

I have a controller i never used in 10 years and I am having problemas for itt to charge

I've done all that, but my batteries don't charge now !! Any ideas? I've tried the obvious!!!

How mutch would you charge for this job

I did this exactly how you did and now my Dreamcast won’t read games…. 😿

Small tip! Mount a CPL filter on your lens to eliminate reflections. Action camera filters are a good option for finding the right size and are cost effective.

Hi Mark , can i use same transformer fot 3do goldstar ?

Do you know the name of the plug type that the LED legs go through? The thought occurs to me that I could attach a socket to the legs instead so that it's less arduous in future to remove the top.

Excellent work Mark love the video Thanks for the information Cheers

Mark while your video helped me two years ago, its time for the truth after 2 years Mark, lithium grease is awful, it is hated by people in the automotive world because it is a tacky shitty grease that not only is a dirt attractor but also acts corrosive over the period of time, the grease applied is gunked now, and i have to regrease it with silicon grease the right stuff to use Why would I suggest a thinner grease, its time for you to look into what tape decks and other old stereo equipment used for there solutions, singers sewing grease, lithium grease is just to thick and when the weather hits, its not protected and becomes hard, and discolored Now for anyone truly wondering why your dreamcast is actually loud? Your fan is vibrating on the case, for some odd reason, those screws were acting like they were stripped out, which obviously if you over tighten something like a fan, it will resonate Trust me i just fixed a ten year noise thats been bothering me since i got my DC, tighten the screws hand tight and do it back and forth each turn

Bought this as a kit off eBay & finally worked on it tonight. Aside from melting the plastic reset button while soldering, it took me 90 minutes to build. As is my luck, the brand new soldering iron I bought last year developed the habit (like every other soldering iron I've ever used) of having one spot being hottest at one spot on the side but not at the tip. Why does this happen? At any rate, I managed to get it together & when I tested the fit of the USB-C connector it seemed to be a bit tight. Maybe due to my slightly less than perfect soldering? The tolerances are tight with the included shell.

great video Mark!

My flippydrive is actually shipping this month!

just got mine its very nice.

Will this work in HD mode for the Amiga?

18:27 You MUST tin your connecting wires! It makes it 100% easier to solder the wires to the pins. And you have too much dwell time. "Get on... Get off" quickly.

I'd call that "Piss Yellow"

Thanks Mark, I bought a pair second hand and one works well and the other doesn't hold a charge at all. I was going to attempt a repair, anyway, but your video was very informative and makes it look very straight forward. Ordering my batteries now! 👍

i bet you made that solder-bridge just to show the tool... what utter tosh this is.

Pretty good phone. But screen broke. Installed replacement screen. Phone not switching on except the charging light. any leads tp fix it would appreciate.. FYI, i got the flash file and firmware

Dude nice Video, but i cant find the Part to buy ? Could you post a link because on the Shop you post i dont see it there

4:40 is it no nut Nov yet?

*Confirmed:* I have a cracked worm gear. I notice the track motor is glued down, presumably with an epoxy resin. Do I need to re-glue the track motor when I reassemble the CD-ROM drive?

What a brilliant video! I am currently experiencing a very similar problem with my treasured Matsushita CR-572-B CD-ROM drive. All of the components shown in this video look very similar to those in my CD-ROM. *Very soon* I will find out once and for all if the worm gear has cracked or is worn. I feel more excited than a kid on Christmas Eve! I had to learn how to completely disassemble my CD-ROM all by myself. All the videos online are either incomplete or assume the viewer has certain knowledge. Thanks to my hard work and persistence, I will no longer need to pay a third party to service my CD-ROM as I believe I can do it all myself!

You teared down the dreamcast just to mod it🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

My Original Dreamcast I got on 9/9/99 still has the original battery in it and it still holds a charge for 1 to 2 weeks and I've plugged and un plugged controllers thousands of times and it still works, no blown controller ports.

u cant use your hand.... u must use a tape... :D like autist... :D good job

At last i odered mine on the 30th October. Got noticed that mine is shipped. won't be long till i get mine.

Ok - so I spent hours on this - then came across this video. The double reset trick worked - perhaps it was this in combination of changing the speed to 9600 in the device manager and the software - but it finally worked. Thanks.

More of these pickup and random box videos Mark, it's great to vicariously explore them with you. Maybe your Kofi or Patreon supporters could support you to buy from the auction site. Look forward to your next, cheers from Cork, D

I have the same model 3DO with a similar yet slightly different issue. Mine will power up but after about 20-30 minutes it shuts down and can’t be powered up again until I let it sit for about 30 minutes. Do you think this is the same capacitor trouble? Thanks.

Ótimo projeto amigo, parabéns , ele funciona para atari 2600, ou tem algum projeto para o 2600?

Hey Mark... this is sooo coool.. but... what about atari 2600??

For the LED: Does A (on the circuit board) take the longer leg or the shorter one?

Hi Mark, nice review, any idea what CCD this microscope uses? What it's true resolution?

Water wobbler 😅😅😅

Good work on the innuendos- picked them up before you mentioned them! Masterfully done!

What size wires did you use? Thanks

You are an absolute berk, unwatchable

I like to dip my balls in a legit ultrasonic cleaner. It’s very satisfying to see the dirt clouds slough off of them. Then I can get back to my lawn croquet!
