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!

I've tried to order one of these scopes on the Ali Express site but ordering from there is a pain in the bum ... it is possible to order off Amazon, but the price is of course higher and some Amazon resellers won't ship to Alaska .... which really ticks me off ... great video and based on your assessment I am planning to buy one.

I know this is 4 years old, but many thanks for this. I now feel confident to solder my first SMD project.

Is good as trinocular microscope? Interms to video feedback in realtime, 3D image?

Wish I could get that cleaning solution cheap here in the states. Still trying to find something equivalent.

Which is better the flex version or larger base

Chinese mafia

can you do this to mine for a fee?

They were definitely cheaper ways of doing this, but this is very simple

Great review! I naively purchased this same device expecting an "ultrasonic" device but at the very first sight it doesn't look at all like "ultrasonic" but a physically vibrating device 😂 I didn't know about the mechanism of an ultrasonic machine but I know how it should look like. Definitely a rip off no matter what cost. Thanks for sharing

Since you are pretty active. I have a GMT800 speedometer board, that has a common problem of the flat components welds cracking. Ive tried fixing it already, but ended up holding too long. If i were to re-flux it, would it fix it alone? And how would i heat it with a normal heat gun without melting the plastics?

Tip: Use the 90%+ Rubbing Alcohol and Q-Tips on the contacts as it's far less abrasive.

After all these years, this is still my go-to for any of my Speccys. Rod did a fantastic job on this from day one.

The +2A I grew up with the tape desk the buttons just all stopped, my dads solution was rip out the keys and solder a connection to the mainboard and drill a small hole in back of case and put the new soldered connection to a headphone input so I could use a external tape deck. How he did that around 1991 with no internet beats me, he did like electronics though and was always fixing things for friends as we didn't have much cash.

I don't get why use RF shielding in a clear case. that shielding is only there because the fcc.

Perfeito ❤❤

You can trow the fan unit in a dishwasher if you remove all the springs, wires, and other small loose parts.

Arduino library issues is becoming quite a major problem with the Arduino environment, and must be putting people off, especially beginners who see a project on GitHub etc, then try to build it only to find it won’t compile.

The Fenfir Ode is also an amazing piece of hardware.. but it does appear to have minor compatibility issues for a few games.. I can not get Dragon Force, Clockwork Knight, Panzer Dragoon Saga, or Marvel vs Street Fighter to work... does anybody know how to fix this issue??

Actually got inspired by this video to mod my childhood Gamecube (that my Dad got me for Christmas back in 2001) with the GC Loader ODE and a translucent purple shell. First time I had ever fully taken apart a console and then put it back together, and I was worried the whole time that I'd done something wrong, but everything worked as intended. And I wouldn't have done it without watching this video and going "Hey, this is cool, I wanna do it myself!"

Nice video. I think a purchase is about to happen. 🤔Cheers! 👍

Great video! That scottish lass in the background needed a slap, tho!

13:40

Mark, my cat loves your content. He thinks you're meowvelous

Great looking case. I love my GameCube but to be honest I never actually use it as the WiiU simply displays GameCube games better than the original hardware.

NEW CHROME AVAILABLE

I'm not sure why you thought this would not work. I think this is how archeological artifacts are cleaned.

So I’m rather confused why are the n64 shells so expensive. The same quality only runs you about 20 bucks on aliexpress

This GC needs a LED mod underneath the transparent case that reacts to the games audio and visuals

I just installed the new bios… now how do you use dreamshell???

Damn, you got the flippy. It was a nightmare to order the first batch. Lucky you.

Great video! Thinking about getting this shell…
