Just getting into electronics repair and I keep ending up on your channel! Thank you for the educational content, it’s really been making all the difference for me

[@andrewvinci8437]

Im getting into gamecube collecting and this is a useful guide. Wish you went a little more in depth about soldering them back on but overall good info.

[@salemsebasteontobio6311]

Could you make a list of the tools needed for this?

[@oOignignoktOo1]

I recapped mine but the laser would not fire up and spin to read discs until I dropped it to 112ohms.

[@fatefinger]

Do you offer this as a service?

[@jjackson85]

Should the laser move outside of the where the disc is spinning when its starting up?

[@HandHeldLegend]

We have seen it do that on a couple occasions, yea!

heres one for you. years ago my friend spilled a can of coke over my ps1, let it dry out a bit and used it again....now something shorted in there (right hand side) that meant the games both loaded and ran about 4xfaster. not unplayable faster but just vastly improved performance and that 4x increase in loading speeds. ive never seen anyone online with the same results bit it seems a shame to see that tweak go un-noticed by the masses. it seems ps1 was a powerhouse with a chained ankle. i dont have the expertise to explain how it happened.

[@psp4gamer]

It wasn't unnoticed, now your system is overclocked because of a short circuit, the thing is, the time is will be alive lol

[@BeeWaifu]

And what capacitors am I meant to purchase?
