I really enjoyed watching you diagnose the problem with this Neo Geo AES, and I learnt a lot too ;) Great video!

[@ryandavis7011]

To "trace" a trace, I just use a fine tip permanent marker, and "dot" along it - wipes off with isoprop after.

[@luannvanh]

Thanks for sharing, this helped me fix my Neo Geo. I had a broken pin on my socket (but I was the id10t who installed it..)

[@scubasteve31583]

This was a fantastic video for me, thank you so much for this!

[@NostalgiaLab]

Great video. The microphone works just fine. I'm mexican and I do understand very well your aussie accent. Thanks for your video.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Thanks for the feedback

[@sladekiske]

That camera shake at 0:35 when you popped the cart in. Surely, the whole world trembled.

[@FrankSantanaJr]

Great video, very informative.

[@MechaFenris]

Awesome video. Very helpful....

[@Beaps73]

Great vid, nice clear sound also. I think you got lucky with this one if I'm honest. Look forward to seeing the next vid of the other one get.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

I think I was very lucky... let's see what the next one is like.

[@elamriti]

your pico psu is working perfect !! realy happy with it :)

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Thanks, great to hear!

[@emmettturner9452]

Played the video at 1.5x and still understood you perfectly. No need to apologize for your accent! Even some Americans are unintelligible to other Americans. :) I do think it's weird that you guys get isopropyl inside spray cans. :D

[@Richbroth]

very cool video. Glad you got it to work cheers

[@peanutunlimited]

Hey dude, loved the video! Great to see an aussie modder on the scene. Keep it up!

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Thanks Scott. Any suggestions for video ideas?

[@peanutunlimited]

Mate you've got a lot of decent content already! But off the top of my head, and I know you've covered this a lot already, but really getting into the RGB / HDMI mods that are being developed for retro consoles. Reckon the Gamecube has a couple of promising HDMI mods hitting the scene? Have you looked into audio upgrades for the mega drive model 2 as well?

[@aussieguy1012]

The gamecube has a hdmi adaptor.Just plugs in the digital port on the rear.

[@aussieguy1012]

Maybe some laser tweak tuts.Alot lasers giving out on psx and dreamcast.

[@peanutunlimited]

Aussie Guy it's not that solid and hdmi mod is a lot more robust

[@beatertechbeatertech2893]

Good video , bit harsh calling someone a f'in idiot..most likely it was learning to fix and destroyed the trace and did not know how to fix. Subbed and thumbs up.

[@thegirlg33k]

Informative video, as always. What kind of desoldering tool is that?

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Thank you. It's a basic Duratech TS-1513 from Jaycar Electronics here in Australia.

[@JohnGotts]

The new mic is excellent. Your previous mic was muffled. I think the problem was mainly the absolute volume. I had to crank my laptop up to 150% volume to make out what you were saying. There are lots of great Australian KZbin creators I enjoy. If you're a native speaker it's more difficult to notice muffled speech. Many Americans have muffled speech in their videos. My videos in particular are not great, due to poor equipment. You really need a standalone mic to have good audio, or probably speech training.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

The new Mic sounds a lot better to me. Yes the old one was just difficult to get a clear recording from unless I spoke directly into it. The new Blue Yeti is the choice of other KZbinrs, so I went with that.

[@WLCD1]

Hey, nice video, the sound is quite ok, but I noticed some crackles

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Thanks, yep I heard them too. I'll look into it.

[@berm11]

I have the same graphic issue with a mvs mv2f i bought yesterday, hope i can Fit it. Thanks

[@djlynk08]

Love the vids, Have a question I have a SNES with Garbled video and sound is perfect any ideas?

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Clean the cart slot with a cotton cloth, credit card and isopropyl alcohol. See 10:56 in this video.

[@djlynk08]

Ill try again, if that fails where should I look?

[@ner38073]

Hi. Thanks for your great videos. I have gone over more you have posted trying to see if I can diagnose mine. My neo geo actually plays games but recently there are hundreds of with dots on the screen. You can still see the game playing but the hundreds of dots (about 1 millimeter in size) are equally distanced apart all over the screen. Do you have an idea on what the problem could be? My first try will be to replace all the internal capacitors as I know how to do these from changing lots on the FM Towns Marty I have dealt with. But I am not familiar with the Neo Geo board. Let me know if you have an idea. Thanks for these amazing videos!

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Possibly a bad power supply. Is it aftermarket?

[@ner38073]

@@GlobalGarageAus Thanks for your reply. I actually have two snk genuine power supplies in working order. I also thought about the av cable by I tried another and there is no difference. My serial number is actually high and it is one of the late and newer neo geo consoles. I have had it for about 15 years and nearly played a few times. The console looks like new I don't really have an idea on the problem causing the messed up screen. The intro of any game when it says warning the games are only to be used in Japan....looks really clear with no problems, but when the game intro starts the issue starts. It is not the games. I actually have two systems of each I have. One bit up to play and a really nice one to display. So the bit-up one plays good and the one for display is my faulty one :(

[@s8n187]

Darren what size Tips do you use when desoldering the AES Bios with your Duratech ?............0.8,1.0 and 1.3mm for example

[@GlobalGarageAus]

I use the smallest one I have which is approx 1.3mm. Any larger than that and it doesn't have the sucking power to clear out the hole (that sounded dirty)

[@s8n187]

thanks mate for the info , loved the end part also it made me giggle

[@GadgetUK164]

Great repair =D Yet another bodged unibios attempt by someone =/

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Very very common. Good for us though :)

[@VIKINGSS3]

Sounds good to me...

[@TB-nf6bs]

I ripped off a trace doing to the bios socket the same way. My aes worked fine beforehand. I took it to two shops that microsolder they won't follow my request of desoldering the pins professionally and inspect that area because we all myself included find continuity through the whole board so im scratching my head im not sure if it's not getting enough of a connection or what. I only own basic soldering tools and because I botched it once already im too nervous to remove the socket by myself again and check 😭 ive emailed a bunch of shops and made phone calls and no one will help im at a loss right now

[@GlobalGarageAus]

J L Where are you based?

[@TB-nf6bs]

[@mgonzalezflesca]

This is weird when I socketed my AES bios the exact same solder pad came off! Remember, always check if you ripped something and if so put a tiny jumper wire to fix it.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Yep that pin seems to have a lot of solder on it, so if you're not careful it'll lift right off. Desoldering any chip can be tricky if you rush it. The gun I have was the best investment I ever made.

[@mgonzalezflesca]

Me too, I was sick of ripping traces of older PCBs so I bought a desoldering gun. They can be quiet expansive but there are some around 75$ that do the job perfectly.

[@gregjarvis1232]

Hi Darren I have a pal Atari Jaguar It blew the u38 fuse wrong power supply used have got offical pal jaguar power supply put a new fuse in but still dosn't work Would you be interested in working on it Thanks Greg

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Which power supply was plugged into it? These things use 9V DC Im fairly sure. If you want to donate it to the channel I'll make a video on it, but otherwise I'll have to pass sorry as I already have plenty of broken stuff to fix :)

[@gregjarvis1232]

Global Garage Hi Darren It was a pal megadrive 1or2 power supply can't remember which 1 now......as for it bieng dontated that dosn't even deserve a reply Greg

[@J.Crooner]

Does anyone know how to repair a Neo Geo cartridge that displays garbled graphics if the problem isn't dirty contacts? I'm open to any and all ideas so feel free to post any info or insight you may have on this issue thanks.👍😎👌

[@silenthill4]

Now do it with a model 1 genesis

[@TheDrunkenPL]

Next tome I’d rather suggest repair the trace properly eg. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paurY3lpdr1reLs
