Ranks has been controversial for homophobia, particularly violent attitudes towards homosexuals. The 1990 song "Wicked in Bed" includes lyrics about shooting gay men.[14] In 1992, during an appearance on Channel 4 music show The Word, he was asked to give his thoughts on the subject of the hit song, "Boom Bye Bye", by Buju Banton. Shabba held a copy of a Bible which he carried with him and stated that the "word of God" advocated the "crucifixion of homosexuals".

I think we should start a petition to get Steve a cameo in the next James Bond film. Whilst Bond talks to Q we see Steve in the background, blowing a capacitor off a board and then hunting around on the floor for it, whilst Q says, 'we've got our best man working on it'. 😂

[@Drebin2293]

The days of good campy Bond films are over, my friend. All that's left in Hollywood these days is woke garbage.

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

@@Drebin2293You would have hated the 80s, countless movies with Black and female leads. Look at Aliens. Female lead and a female Marine who was stronger than all the men, would have blown your mind.

[@Drebin2293]

@@Dreadpirateflappy Uh huh. Sure. You do know that's not what modern wokeness is about, right?

[@MrNaesme]

​@@Drebin2293First, woke is a term that means "aware of social injustices prevalent in a society". Second, yes, yes it is. The current poor state of movies has nothing to do with the diversity movement. It's to do with shovelware. Just movies being made to bring in money with no real regard for the audience or quality writing. "Wokeness" didn't cause that. Corporate greed did. Come on out from under your irrational anger rock and get with the times friend.

Steve Your content is brilliant! You're a naturally funny guy, you don't take yourself too seriously or pretend you're the best at fixing stuff even tho your skill set is very high. Keep the videos coming!

[@RobSchofield]

@ 8:02 - no, I won't call you an idiot - but popping the connector pins out of the connector and reversing then would have been a LOT quicker and easier, plus the colours remain correct! I use the tip of a No. 10 scalpel blade to push in the little spring-retainers in the connector housing, then gently pull the wire out. There's even a tool to do this if you are feeling a bit flush! The scalpel is easier and cheaper.

[@narsakucanada154]

A few years ago I repented to God then Prayed for help, "I was until then an Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in Perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I Held him was unlike Anything I've Ever felt before - A Lifetime of Love Every Second - It brought me to Sobbing and it changed my life, Forever. I've had Many experiences since, "Several witnessed". A voice Spoke Clearly into my ear, "Go Visit Your Father Today.", hours before he passed. When I prayed if I could leave this world my body spoke a word Without My Permission I Never Heard Before, "Malarkey". Hours before a major surgery a Bright orb of light Passed across my face. God and Jesus ARE real! Truly Love God & Everyone! I believe Prayer, Following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, Truly becoming Humble, Merciful, Welcoming, Giving, Gentle, Respectful, Compassionate, Patient, Kind and Forgiving, To Everyone. ~ I've been obsessed with these oldschool gaming console fix videos. It's helped me take my mind off of what's happening in this world. Thanks for the kind content if it's ever read.

[@PITAProductions]

I was thinking he should sand/file down the connector so it fits both ways, then hot glue it in place if he wants it in there permanently...

[@bufordmaddogtannen]

You can get an idea of what component values you need, by looking at the data sheets for the various chips as these always come with a reference design.

[@simonbailey6492]

Regardless of everything that happens, your pure joy at "the fix" is worth every minute of viewing.

[@teknikal6969]

Started off watching repairs mainly due to fluking across my mate Vince in his early vids were he messed up more than succeeded. That said it was nice to see him improving as time went on but as he went more to his car repair and such (which isn't my thing) I found your channel and a few other repair based ones. Anyway to get to the point I think your my favourite fix it channel at the present time and I kind of hope Vince brings back the repair competition he's had a few times and includes you in it.

[@reddragon27284]

You’re a braver man than I Steve, lithium batteries terrify me, I’d have just replaced it,

[@JeffreyGroves]

Sadly, the battery in that exact size is pretty much unobtanium. This is the number off the battery: SL805154 which translates to 8.0mm x 51mm x 54mm dimensions. Likely Evercade had these battery pouches custom made to fit their use case. The closest I could find is a 804040 which will fit, but is obviously smaller than the original, so you'll be missing some battery life compared to the original.

[@andybonneau9209]

Your meter has a long beep when you try checking for continuity with voltage present. Continuity should only be used on deenergised circuits. 😊

[@Nandru85]

Yep! I tried screaming to the screen "UNSOLDER THE BATTERY FIRST!!" but Steve wouldn't listen..😅

Hello !! i have the same game console and the same problem , it's commun issue , now i know what's the problem because of you ! THANKS !!!! Now i'm just going to find an other battery for my game console , because i'm not so good to soldering little pieces , i solder many electonics on guitar but not tiny elements and i'm not electronician . this vidéo help me so much and probably help many people ! Thank you for the video. Take Care !

[@Menohac050]

Hey Steve, you can usually use a higher value cap, think of it like a glass of water. The only thing to really worry about with caps is using a lower voltage cap on a higher voltage.

[@temporaryscars]

He knows.

[@Weitenrausch1]

I would like to thank you. I repaired my evercade exp for 4€. I would never have thought of replacing the chip

I ran to my turned-on-once Evercade in a panic as this video started, and finished it while happily (and luckily) playing Moon Patrol.

[@milescarter7803]

It is incredibly easy to swap the terminals with a little practice. It only needs a sharp pointy object to pry the plastic tab and the terminal will back out. You can use a safety pin, or any other kind of pin. But a utility knife blade or point on some tweezers also works. The benefit is that you keep the correct wire colors, and it's much quicker to do, no soldering.

[@Daley87]

Great video. Next step, getting a bigger capacity battery that fits in the case because the included battery drains QUICKLY.

[@TalmiiorFixesStuff]

For the charge control board swap from one battery to another, as long as the batteries have the same voltage rating, it should be fine to swap them. For 8:10 I have always found it faster to just change the pins around in the plug of that type of battery. Ya just use your tweezers to lightly push up the plastic holding the pins in and the pins pop out easily. the swap them around, they'll snap right back in, and ready to go!

My mate gave me his faulty one which has a similar issue. Works fine with a different battery connected, or on USB power. Screen flashes and does nothing in the original battery. Couldn't find a replacement battery the same size, only smaller is physical size and capacity. Will be taking a look at the management board. Cheers

Stupid EXP! ....Yep, it's just happened to mine. And it does seem like a relatively common problem. The main issue being that the odd sized battery means it is nearly impossible to find a good replacement for it!!! ...I am not a techy so opening and fiddling about inside terrifies me (even though it is outside warrantee) , so I went for the easy solution and bought a slim power-bank! Job done. (It fits nicely into the case with the EXP.)

Thanks for your time. Just two questions, sorry to be annoying, is the pcb for any battery valid, or does it have to be the same mh as the original? Do you have a reference to the battery you used for the replacement? Thank you very much again, I look forward to playing with my namco museum again.
