Pt 3: A DEAD Panasonic 3DO - Did my repair work?? 3DO REAL FZ-1 No Power Repair - Test & Gameplay

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Great to see the 3do up and running mark, I didn't know about the memory, will have to get hold of that disc I don't have it. Syndicate is a classic, hopefully I will have more look burning 3do software than I had with CD32 game's.

[@jpruitt77]

That was super interesting. Thanks for bringing a 3do back to life.

[@46danz]

I never imagined the 3do had decent looking games,you almost always only hear about its demise.Great series of videos,cheers.

[@MarkFixesStuff]

Thank you for watching. The 3DO had some very decent titles, but also more than it'S share of shovelware.

[@thegreatjonzini]

That snow job save game is one of those "saucy" games like plumbers don't wear ties ☺️

[@MarkFixesStuff]

OK. Now I'm interested..... Keep talking.

[@viscountalpha]

@@MarkFixesStuff It's the worst adult video game, ever. barely any adult content and really bad acting.

[@hypnotisemoi9426]

Same problems Same solution. Thx that works !

[@CortinasAndClassics]

Superb repair Mark, I need one of these coffee tables.

[@MarkFixesStuff]

They are bloody MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!!

[@lethalspizzle4247]

Nice repair, think I might change mine before they do that 🤣

[@MarkFixesStuff]

Definitely. Thanks for watching!

[@Chriva]

"Fascinating... Shuuut up!" If I had a nickle for every time I've thought that lol

[@keithbeesting]

Great video Mark I was hoping you would remove the battery ive got a similar button battery in my 486 does this type of battery need to be desoldered?

[@MarkFixesStuff]

I tested this batter with a meter and it was still giving a solid 2.8v so is OK. Anywhere under about 2.4v you should change the battery.

[@retrogamingrepairs6053]

Nice video mate! After all that I was expecting it to fail reading the disk 😂

[@MarkFixesStuff]

Nope! Fired right up.... But... the CDi I'm working on is a different matter :(

[@RetroGamesBoy78]

Nice one Mark, loved the capacitor info and obviously its great its all working perfectly, which also leads me nicely into asking this question.... I have 2 3DOs, but one of them fails to load burned discs, but has absolutely no problems playing original CD Roms? Any idea why that might be?

[@DouglasTitchmarsh]

Excellent result. Great video. 👍👍

[@AtariFitness]

Great work Mark!! On fixing the sexy Panasonic 3DO 💪🙂👍

[@MarkFixesStuff]

Thanks Colin!

[@CarlosFerreira-cn6qf]

Excellent work Mark !!

Mine powers on, the green light works when I power on, but the red light does not. When using the AV cables the TV screen appears to change from the usual “no signal” screen. And yet its still nothing on the TV. The Disc Tray also wont open. Any suggestions? I did exactly how you did to take it off. The capacitors looked a little bit better than yours did.

[@andreasmaltcke117]

1:24 old capacitor - 6800uF / 25V 105 ° C new capacitor - 6800uF / 25V 85 ° C not good at all Admittedly, the heat sink next to which these capacitors were does not heat up very much, but the manufacturer, for some reason, used 105 ° C rated capacitors. If you repair something, always use better or at least identical components. NVM, good job (except one small mistake).

[@MarkFixesStuff]

Argh, I was hoping no one would notice that! Good spot. I went back and replaced that one when I had 105°C parts back in stock. I get impatient sometimes to get the videos done. Thanks for your kind comments and thanks for watching. :)

[@andreasmaltcke117]

@@MarkFixesStuff "I was hoping" No way! There will always be someone who notices the mistake. I repaired TV-s (and other electronic equipment) for almost 20 years, so I saw that you installed the "inappropriate" capacitor. Which BTW works the same as "proper", it has only a lower operating temperature. THX (googletranslate, sorry)

[@MarkFixesStuff]

@@andreasmaltcke117 You got me :P Yes, you are right. Viewers will always spot the flaws. But it is good for discussion too so thank you.

[@MrFixiit]

but late to the game on this one but burn them at that slowest speed possible usely make them a bit faster when loading on old consoles

[@MarkFixesStuff]

You are 100% correct and I could bore you all day about why!

[@KingPepper41]

Be careful Mark, that can of drink was mighty close to your laptop in this video, one nudge from your arm / elbow, on the tin, and bang goes the laptop.

[@MarkFixesStuff]

Paul Pollington Careful? CAREFUL??? I’m drunk as a lord! LOL. Noted. Because I’m a clumsy git.

[@henrikjonsson4340]

Having problems with my sexy 3d0, that it does blow the fuse everytime. To much of current but how to fix? Anyone? :)

[@MarkFixesStuff]

First thing is to change the capacitors. They are known to be bad on these. Every single one I have seen. One of these blew the fuse for me too. When the capacitors are changed then we can troubleshoot further.

[@henrikjonsson4340]

@@MarkFixesStuff Thanx I will try that. It was years when I got to play on it. :)

[@clyth41]

Electronics and booze... = oh dear...

[@MarkFixesStuff]

You're not wrong...

[@Vlad-bu3mr]

3DO plays burned CD-R's no copy protections.....best go to love roms...ohhh...I know emu-parad.........ill close the door on the way out ;)

[@ReverendJackson]

[@MarkFixesStuff]

Oh yes. Needs a bit of a trim.
