Repairing Faulty Tech
United Kingdom
Приєднався 30 гру 2023
I've always been interested in how things work. I would always be taking things apart and would (sometimes) put them back together again! I didn't always succeed but the fascination with all things electronic was always there. The channel is mostly focussed on repairing items rather than the cosmetics, but occasionally I'll look to include restoring the look of an item as well.
There will also be some reviews, 'basic/quick' fixes (usually around 5-10 mins) and sometimes a 'What's inside' type of video.
I'm definitely no expert, but with a bit of determination and a hot soldering iron, I'll attempt to fix and restore electronic tech back to working order, save these items from being thrown away and hopefully learn something into the bargain.

REPAIRING a Sony Playstation 1 (PS1) with a bad video output
Today on the repair desk is a vintage Sony Playstation 1 (SCPH-7002) with a bad video output from the multi-AV port. As the AV port is the only way to get video from this particular model; this needs repair to be usable again.
We'll replace some SMD capacitors that look to have possibly leaked and hopefully get this vintage console back to its best.

Both of these controllers are suffering from this on the left thumbstick and so, for the first time for me, I'm opening up these units to try and identify and fix the issue. Let's see what we can make of this! If you have like these kinds o...

Let's see if this can be repaired and restore full functionality to the unit. If you have like...

Another retro games 'console' of the 1980's and another space theme! This one is completely dead, so join me as a try to resurrect it and get 80's nostalgia back in the room. It appears that someone has attempted fixes on this previously and the PCB hasn't been left in the best of condition, but nothing that could cause it to not work. Anyway, let's give it a go! During the filming of this vide...

More of these types of video will follow in the coming weeks/months. #repair ...
