I Gave My NEO GEO Pocket Color a NEW Screen and Stuff

[@shponglefan]

Having recently discovered your channel, just wanted to say I really appreciate the editing and humor in these videos! Plus the repair work itself, of course. :)

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Shponglefan! Really appreciate that 👍

[@toadd]

Same! Came for the fixes and stayed for the humor :)

[@tommytron2000]

Also great set and footage.

[@genfix]

hey man, just wanted to say I appreciate the extra effort in your recording, edits and investment in equipment - You've absolutely NAILED this youtube thing, you definitely have the winning recipe

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Andy, really appreciate that! 👍

[@Adrian_Finn]

The only thing I absolutely hate about this channel is that I have to wait a week for another video. Really enjoying your content, thoroughly entertaining.

[@StezStixFix]

😁 sorry Adrian! I'd definitely love to do more but it's so hard to find the time! 😬

[@rster536821]

i agree

[@Devilboy-6666]

Me too said it a few times the demand is there Steve let's go

[@Adrian_Finn]

@@Devilboy-6666 I honestly think this channel should have at least 20 times the amount of subs than it does. One day maybe.

[@djmystareez5961]

As someone who dabbles in trying to fix my kids broken electronic toys this channel is a massive find for me. You’re very funny too! I’m often found with a head torch on taking apart toys at the kitchen table looking for faults. Love it really.

[@djmystareez5961]

Also. I have a really old (35yrs???) original Sony Walkman which has stopped working. Can I send it to you with a wedge and hopefully get it fixed?!

[@UltraGreen77]

How is your channel not bigger? You make perfect content.

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Duff! Appreciate that. Hopefully one day! 😬

[@Retrofi]

Love the channel. So many KZbinrs take repairs so seriously and edit their videos to make them perfect tutorials. What I love about your channel is you are happy to have a go and are honest when you make mistakes or if you don’t know what you’re doing.

[@MagnusDrums101]

Steve you've done it again !!! Fixing like a super pro (that hack with the tape and the white thing plus the elimination of the green cable were soooo satisfying to watch!). Cheers mate!

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks David! Much appreciated 👍

[@woogaloo]

I started watching your videos about a month ago and I really enjoy your candor! I remember seeing these in Walmart when they first came out. I was 16 or so at the time and wished I had bought and kept mine. Very neat little device.

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Matthew, much appreciated! Yeah, these are lovely little devices, and the new screen makes it even more fun to play on. Need to get a few decent games for it now! 😬

[@calculateddeclination5534]

I wish snk didn't go under. They could've been up there with nintendo, sony and microsoft. Imagine a neo geo pocket color or neo geo home console with 2022 technology. That would be amazing.

[@marcwilliams9824]

Just found your channel by accident and haven't been into electronics particularly. I have to say I freaking love watching your videos though. Your delivery is perfect, don't change.

[@cireza_]

That's actually awesome to see a modern screen of the correct size and, it seems, same resolution. I would love to see something similar for the Game Gear, but it seems quite complicated because its screen stretched the signal to 4/3.

[@eviljonny8446]

Hey, just found your channel today and I am loving your videos! I've for my original NGPC and have had a Retro Pixel IPS display sat waiting for ages, I've not had the guts to do the soldering work before now, watching your two NGPC videos helped me feel bold enough to try and I'm happy to say I've got it installed and working perfectly now. Thanks for the videos, and thanks for showing the real close ups of the work.

[@StezStixFix]

Awesome, thanks eviljonny! The IPS screen is so much better, bet you're pleased with it. 👍

[@falloutguy8878]

I love the way you carefully detailed the marking tape and great upgrade on the screen hopefully you will enjoy playing games on it now? until next time Steve look after yourself and stay safe

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Cuthbert! So much more fun playing on this now. Just need to get some more games for it! 👍

[@esseferio]

Now that's one band I totally forgot about (although in France I'm not sure we had anything besides "two princes", with relatively significant air play). As usual, solid vid, super fun to watch! Merci Monsieur ! :)

Well done Steve, you did.a good job deciphering those instructions. Perhaps you can mention your video on their website item review info?

[@StezStixFix]

Good shout, Chris! Thank you 👍

[@blakebustervcr]

Just ran into your channel for the first time. Cheers on great humor, and huzzah to the restoration of gadgets from time gone by.

Nice V. O. S. Nice O. C. D. (white solder mask). Nice cat scratches. Nice job!! Thanks Steve. Always brightens my Saturday.

Thanks Stuart! Sometimes my OCD comes in handy! 😂

[@jasedobson2793]

Great upgrade Steve. No monophyletic isopods were harmed during the making of this video 🙂

[@red_geist9741]

This is still the only install video I’ve found for this newest version of the Neo Geo Pocket Color IPS screen. Thanks!

[@TotallyCereal123]

I'm now addicted to this channel. You've made me want to try to fix broken ebay electronics for myself. If only I had the time...

[@fkthewhat]

Never saw white solder mask. Looks much better than the green in this context!

[@lesrogers7310]

Nice one Steve, the screen is much better now. More singing required at the end though.

[@StezStixFix]

😂 thanks Les!

[@chris-pike]

Good to see you repair the screen in your Neo Geo with the IPS screen kit you got there Steve , another great fix to your tech repairs - Nice 1 mate 👍

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Chris! 👍

[@reinholdachleitner2069]

Looks awesome with the backlit screen.💯👌🏻

[@Mrbowgod]

I found your channel last week and I love the humor and the editing you do. New sub here

[@SixtyDoesStuff]

I'm imagining how SMALL that masking tape must have been to look that size under the scope.

[@StezStixFix]

😁 I think that tape was 3mm! 😬

[@STHelton1]

Those instructions were rough. I’m not sure I would have trusted them after they recommended just wrapping the wire to the battery terminal. Lol. Good job. Screen looks amazing.

[@StezStixFix]

🤣 I know, right? Really odd instructions. They must have added the green wire to make it easier for people to install, I guess! Really happy with the screen, it makes it so much more fun to play! 👍

[@shaunhetherington6908]

Thanks Steve brilliant fix yet again and you put a smile on my face love the jokes and the singing of course ❤️

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Shaun, glad you enjoyed! 😁

[@sukmablack]

just found out this channel, you're doing great. i had an xbox 360 that just got blown out capacitor (2 caps and 1 smd caps), wish i had skill and tools like you. i'm subscribing 👍

[@lookitskazzy]

Hey Steve! Great video. Just a heads up that the reason they suggest you remove the cap is because it can damage the ribbon cable once you smash everything back together. Ask me how I know.

[@knc0512]

Would be interested in seeing the video that introduced "Dave". Good job on the quality of content

[@frozerinosrepairs]

Good job Dave ,keep the good work 😝😝😝

[@StezStixFix]

😂 he almost helped in this one. 😁

[@abc56735]

I love your work! Really great at detailed stuff, but still easy to follow. Would love to see you make a rechargeable NGPC with one battery, so 2xAA and 1x CR2032 is not needed. I have tried to figure out how to do it, but have had no luck :(

[@anon_y_mousse]

Yeah, rechargeable batteries are always a good idea. Especially if he makes it so they can be swapped on a whim.

[@abc56735]

@@anon_y_mousse I really want a rechargable integrated battery with a TP4056 or someting :D

[@sydmichel]

Sorry if I'm out of order and I am not an expert, but, are you replacing electrolytic capacitors with ordinary ones?

[@louiskirby4370]

@StezStixFix whats the name of that clear goo that you are unsoldering the components with the heat gun? it does a really good job.

[@yebbo00]

What a great channel glad I’ve stumbled across it cheers

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks yebbo00, much appreciated! 👍

[@chriss2517]

Have you had any issues with the IPS display not turning on from time to time? I have the Q5 version (the one with the OSD option) and if I power cycle a few time (changing games for example) the display suddenly doesnt want to power on but all the audio works. I found a few others also complaining about the same issue with the Q5 IPS kit and I think it has something to do with power delivery. I noticed your kit has a separate location for pulling power so I was wondering if you have the same issue or not.

[@lookitskazzy]

This is because something is shorting out or the ribbon cable is damaged. Check the video around 6:28, you should remove the sponge blocks, the old screen adhesive, the original plastic PCB isolator, and the cap located at PC2 or thereabouts. This cap damaged my ribbon and I couldn't get it working again until I removed the cap and replaced the ribbon. Now it works perfectly.

[@Tim_3100]

Nice fix 🙂

[@SMAAAASHTV]

Nice install and good to see the instructions could almost be thrown out with a better method.

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Smaaaash! Yeah, those instructions were terrible! 😬

[@Segafishy]

I had been looking at these conversion kits a while back and the screen looked to narrow but this one looked about right, did you compare the new one against the original at all?

[@lancehill9971]

When you cure the solder mask use the light first and then some hot air till the shine is gone

[@CorporalWobbly]

I was wondering if it would be better to cure the mask before removing the masking tape? It might leave cleaner edges

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks John, I did try that on a test piece and it just peeled the whole thing off. Like UnjustifiedRecs says, it's similar to painting... Best to remove it while still wet I think 👍

[@CorporalWobbly]

Fair enough, I thought you probably would have thought of it already.

[@nyanpasu64]

Do ceramic capacitors now come in electrolytic-tier capacitances (tens and hundreds of microfarads), unlike years/decades past?

[@Ratchet_effect]

I see the difference the IPS does look smart! the white mask of Steve! also a winner! Spoil sport holding the caps with tweezers, wanted the bang! & cap fly like a bullet 🙄 Fishy caps, yuck! you've increased the consoles life 😇 Screen, are you okay? So, Screen, are you okay? Are you okay, Screen? 😂 Screen peel *Oh yeah!* 🤣🤣 👍🏻

[@StezStixFix]

😁😁 Thanks brother Steve! Yeah, the IPS is so much crisper, it really makes playing on it more fun. I need to get me some decent games for it now!

[@voteDC]

I wish more of these types of mods had a solderless solution, though maybe not wrapping a wire around the battery terminal.

[@chrismifsud7154]

Which one/where did you buy the LCD mod ? Mine has an older one which I did years ago and its smaller than the original screen and I find that annoying. Wanna change it to one like yours.

[@NoNonsenseJohnson]

The skills are impressive. Handy to have you as a pal I bet hahah 👊🏽🤣

Good shout, Chris! I might try that on the next one 👍
