That was twice the price of my iPad for less usability.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Yes, but does your iPad have a game where it shows pictures of farm animals, and you tap the image of the animal, and it makes a sound appropriate to that animal? My Leap Frog Tablet does that, and it cost half the price of your iPad. Leap Frog Tablet is superior to the Switch and baby toy Steam Deck as the farm animal noise game features RAY TRACING and 240 FPS 4k graphics. Does your iPad do the farm animal noise game ? That's right, I didn't think so. Now where'd I put my damn sippy cup of chocka-milk ?

You can buy a version of it now for £10 - £20....And not spend £600 for an emulated one!!! That you can play on your phone anyway!! No wonder I have never heard of this thing...its an utter joke. I would want it full of stuff like Monopoly, Ludo, Game of Life, Go For Broke, Dark Tower, Ghost Castle etc and to have 3d holograms and incredible game play for that price....

[@technretro7115]

Another great video but it would have made a more interesting repair if you had swapped out the MOSFETs separately to determine if the low reading MOSFET or the O.L MOSFET was the problematic one. The camera disasters probably didn't help with the process though 👍🏻

[@Nobe_Oddy]

you should probably get in the habit of transferring you videos EVERY TIME your done a work session (like when you had to order the new MOSFETS and that session was done, you should immediately transfer the videos and not JUST store them on the camera/sd card /etc ) since you've already had one problem with it, it could very well happen again at any time so you NEED TO play it safe and and make extra copies of the videos JUST ION CASE there is something wrong with the camera/SD card/etc and it's on it's way out and just gets worse.... BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY, RIGHT? And you should stay in this habit until enough time has passed that you're sure it was just that one time, OR you see more things starting to go bad with the camera... like if you start transferring every chance you get but after 2 months of doing this and nothing has happened again, it's pretty safe to say that it was just a glitch... (which TBH could be something as simple as ONE STRAY PROTON from some star going supernova 5 million years ago and traveling all that way to Earth, and missing ever single atom in the atmosphere until it got to your SD card/FLASH chip inside the camera/etc and changed ONE BIT from a 0 to a 1 and erased all you footage!! and YES this is actually a thing!!! CRAZY RIGHT??? this is why they had super insane shielding on the Apollo mission computers AND the developed ECC memory so that WHEN... not IF... but WHEN a stray "packet" of radiation smashes into the CPU or memory or storage, the ECC will be able to keep it intact.. because the chances of TWO stray protons getting through the shield and BOTH OF THEM hitting a bit EACH and totally destroying whatever info in is an ECC system is like 100 Trillion to 1 chance that would happen.... and it's things like this, and understanding them, that made me the nerd I am today!!! -- lol - thank you Steve for keeping me thinking about the coolest type of stuff on earth :D I hope you learned something new... OR rehashed an old memory because you already knew all this :D lol

[@TheBeezleDude]

£200 isn't bad really if you modify it with Infinite Mystery and then you can sideload standard Android apps, etc, onto it. That way it could be expanded to work as a reasonably capable emulation system too

Steve, I am surprised you didn't Google on how to test a MOSFET, it's pretty easy thing to test, and don't you have one of those cheap component testers? It probably would have identified the bad one.

those microscopes can be connected to a pc with the usb and will work as a webcam. I have a lesser model of the same manufacturer and whilst it says it doesn't support it, it does. Might be worth recording locally on the pc. I've seen so many other youtubers try to record on these microscopes and get corrupted footage.

[@diegomartinez7180]

That problem is really uncharacteristic. Unless it is just that device because of a faulty batch or something like that. Usually when a backlight fails it is because a bulb (or LED or fluorescent or whatever light your display has) fails and they are connected in series so all lights turn off (much like your christmas lights), To fix the problem you usually need to replace part or all the strip of lights or bulbs. The repair is much more involved (you need to take apart the screen, if it is even possible), but the fix is much cheaper.
