SEGA Mega CD - Repair, bios mod and refurbish (plastic)
Переглядів 2,7 тис.3 роки тому
Hello and welcome back everyone, in this video I'll be looking at a MEGA CD 2. It doesn't work, so I'll be repairing it and then adding a region-free bios to it and ultimately restoring the plastics and the metal shields. I hope you enjoy! Oh - by the way - it's not the fuse! here's the link to the diagram/schematics gamesx.com/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=schematics:sega_cd_2_-_mega_cd_2_-_ser...

Sega Megadrive - Repairing a garbled and glitchy screen problem
Переглядів 6 тис.4 роки тому
Hey, in this video I will attempt to repair a Sega Megadrive with a glitchy screen. Fortunately I am very lucky and do it in one shot. This is my first video of my repairs (and my first video EVER if I exclude some tests I posted), so please be kind. In hindsight I could have done this very differently and some information might not be super-accurate, but I will get better!
I have a similar TV Samsung CB20F12T with a KS1A chassi. The problem I have noticed is that there seems to be noise or interefence on the video input if you inspect it closely. Does your television suffer from the same issue?
Not his one, but another one yes, I will be looking at that one shortly. I have since repaired another 2/3 CRT TVs, but don't have an editor and don't have time to do the videos myself unfortunately. Where are you based?
hallo, wie wird AUTOSTART eingestellt? kannst du bitte hier zeigen?
I have a Sanyo CTP 3771, I imagine it's older than 1995. It has the horizontal line problem but it gets temporarily fixed by hitting the back of the TV (I really don't want to have to do that tho). Searching a very old forum post with this model number and symptom, someone said it's a problem on a part called LA7837 which looks a lot like the one you switched. I never soldered anything before so I'm a bit worried to try to take it apart and try to fix it lol
Here's the service manual with the diagram: elektrotanya.com/sanyo_ctp3771.pdf/download.html I'd offer to help, but I don't think shipping a CRT is a good idea. I have done it with success once, sent one over to America, but that was an incredible endeavour.
I have a Samsung crt model: CB-5073Z I don’t know anything about crts, but could you give me a hint of what it might be worth as I’m looking to sell it?
Unfortunately I have no idea, here they go for free (FB Marketplace) or they can sell up to 500£, depends. Samsungs usually aren't as well regarded as Trinitrons so might be worth less. I tend not to scalp on these and - depending on the model - I sell them for 30 ~ 60 £
Good, show more
More is on the way
Nice work! @1:25 Linear power supplies show a higher voltage without a load, this is absolutely normal ^^
It has a line problem think it the vertical line out put ic
I've recently connected my Megadrive to a HDMI screen and it works fine. The only problem is that when I select 2 players, the image becomes glitchy. Currently I only have Sonic 2 so I can't tell if it will be a problem with other games. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Hey, not sure. How are you connecting the megadrive to HDMI?
@@theretrohandyman7708 I'm using a KAICO adaptor. Could just be a problem with the game?
I know I am late to the party here. But I believe I know what your issue is. If you are referring to two player split screen in sonic 2, the resolution changes from that of a typical Sega genesis game and that resolution is likely incompatible with your current setup.
sega mega cd жутко баг
Wonderful work!!
keep away from sparking
try using soft Paint brush
nice work
Still i cant find a good angle for heat shield removal i need ti know if thw tabs on the top piece overlap with the bottom on all sides
I'm very glad you managed to fix it!
Mine just needed reflowing around the vertical IC but after I did it it has horrible discoloration in the top left of the screen (it was perfect before). Degaussing has helped somewhat.
Witch size belt you use for pl 335
There is a link here to the exact model I bought off ebay
Thanks for the video. How can I calibrate the speed (rpm) for each case (45 and 33)?
Please post more!!
I have a ton of backlog videos to post but have no time for editing right now, I'm working my way in gaining some time back so hopefully I will be back on youtube at some point! Thanks though
Hello man, Great video! Congratulations!! I have a question ... did you changed the belt ? I've seen that the first time the belt was too tough... after it look like have been good..
Hey, thanks, I need to make more videos, but haven't got enough time! Yes I have changed the belt, the previous one was melted.
Is there by chance anyway you could help fix my CRT? I have a Philips 24PT6341/37 model. The RF connector in the back has broken off and there is no sound on the tv. Is there anyway anyone can help me get it fixed? I contacted a bunch of local tv repair companies and none of them were able to help me out. If there is anyone that knows how to fix CRTs to this day do let me know!
Hey! Do you actually need the RF Connector? Do you have a SCART port? Sound might be as easy as a broken solder point or maybe the sound processor chip has gone, it's hard to tell from a chat, where are you from?
@@theretrohandyman7708 I’m from Wisconsin. I don’t have a RGB scarf connector. I only have RF, composite, s video & a component input. I wanted to hook up cable to it but I can’t since there is no RF connector and the sound stopped working shortly after. I’m not sure if this is fixable? Please let me know! Thanks.
@@TrevFadingToBlack I think most things are fixable, it's the amount of time and skills necessary goes drastically up as worse things happen. How bad is the RF connector ripped off? Is it the main board or only the RF connector itself? I would need to take a look to give an indication
@@theretrohandyman7708 The RF connector has broke off completely. It was already bent badly but as I was trying to attach a RF cable to it broke off and what’s odd is the audio actually quit working just after this happened. I’m unsure if you would like me to send pics of this to you somewhere so you can help investigate the issue as where I see it I can see part of the motherboard where the RF connector was. I did contact a few tv repair companies and they indicated that the RF doesn’t effect the sound but I don’t understand why the sound went out after the RF connector broke off. What do you think? Im not an expert with tvs so I’m hoping you would know enough to help me out!
@@TrevFadingToBlack Hey, sorry for the late reply, I don't think troubleshooting at a distance will ever work, especially with pictures, also I don't have a lot of time with family and all. At any rate send us a link with the a picture, I will take a look and can give you some advice, but I won't be able to help you out long term, unfortunately.
Common Misconception. You don't *actually* need to remove the anode todo basic work on a CRT. It's really only if you're replacing a flyback transformer or moving the CRT out of the chasis.
I have a crt tv that has a line running through it while the picture is going. I’m wondering if you could help in anyway. Thanks
Hey, sorry for the late reply, unfortunately it's not as easy as it seems in this video to fix a crt, I had a stroke of luck this once, but I have repaired many more and I can assure you it is not easy, there are lots of things that can go wrong and really hard to diagnose, maybe post a picture if you can? All I could give you is a guess though. In electronics guesses are quite useless (except this case)
Maybe a drop of oil to the spindle ? Personally I am a bit vary of that black specific restorer, it can overdo it, I prefer a neutral one. Good on the ScratchX :) I used it on the car with good results.
Great to see another Mega Cd brought back to life 👍 video
just brought mine back to life after being dead for a long long time.
Awesome . If it happens to my Nes, I will now know how to move. Thank you
Mine doesnt even spin lol
Greetings, thanks for your video, I have this model, where can I buy spare parts? is it possible to improve the cartridge?
Hey, I'm pretty sure you can change the cartridge, but haven't done so myself yet, however it's one of my next things on the list. If you've not done it yet I'll post here what I will buy. Spare parts should be available just google the model on ebay and I'm sure lots of parts will come up!
For me the speed mechanism on my PL-333 is kinda faulty. I have too set it like 5 times when changing from one speed to the other. As if it didnt get it fully, sometimes it helps when i hold it completely to the left/right untill the speed i want is fully there... Do you know what the problem could be? I didnt opend mine up yet.
Sorry can't tell what it is, however there are not many electrical components in there so - if you have soldering skills and it's not a mechanical problem - you can substitute the parts one at a time :)
discharging CRT are way less dangerous than people say or think..unless you directly pull the cup and touch the metal you are perfectly safe discharging it with a a large screwdiver conected to the chasis cold ground.Great job saving that beauty!
Yo, it's cal good to see you again
Hey! good to see you too!
Era esa esa esa tele la tenia yo yo tenia una igual que esa es la tele de mi infancia con la que empeze a jugar juegos retro 🥺
My Mega Drive has the same problem but i get a clear picture after twenty minutes. Is it the same issue or something else?
It's hard to tell just like that, might be the video ram is defective so works once it's heated up or maybe the VPU? If you have an oscilloscope you can download the datasheet of the RAM and verify if the relevant pins and see if data input/output is working. Alternatively you could attempt to exchange the VRAM (not excessively expensive) and see what happens then. I had a similar problem with an Amstrad CPC 464 (video will come in the future): all seemed to work well, but after 5/10 mins the screen would garble up. Turns out it was the RAM. Hope this helps!
I would reflow the solder joints before doing anything else but I'm probably too late
@@theretrohandyman7708 can i somehow contact with you? My japanese sega MD1 VA1 there are almost the same problems. In some early games like sonic the hedgehog and sunset riders everything works fine, but in games like aladdin, the lion king, mortal kombat, sonic 3d blast. Character or environment sprites become a mess, which can cause games to freeze. I have absolutely no idea what this problem is and how to solve it.
So my genesis works completely fine, it’s just the white colors are tinted yellow. Game still runs perfectly, do you think I’m having the same issue?
I wouldn't know, but my first guess would be the chip that outputs the video, possibly the IC11 SONY CXA1145M.
@@theretrohandyman7708 I actually figured out it was my tv! Picked up an old CRT and it has some issues. Just so relieved it wasn’t my genesis. Thank you and I subbed!
@@Nactendo Really happy you figured it out in the end, thanks for subscribing it is very kind of you!
hello! i have the pioneer pl-980 model which looks and functions similarly to this turntable, but the auto start-stop is behaving weird, if the record is done playing the arm moves to the resting position and then immediately moves back to start playing the record again, sorta like auto repeat haha, i assume this is because the lubricant is gunky, because this behavior does not occur when i have the player on it's side and hold the arm that initiates the start-stop manually, do you have any recommendations on how to lubricate the pivot point? like what kind of lubricant and what to look out for, thanks in advance!
Hello, I think auto-repeat might just be a feature haha!! Anyway I use this silicone-based lubricant for these jobs. Here's the one I actually bought (I am not endorsing any vendor, it's just where I happened to buy mine): www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392661883306 Hope it all works out for you, good luck!
@@theretrohandyman7708 this record player doesn't feature auto repeat as far as i know, i also just observed this behavior also happens when i pull the stop lever manually
@@viriv Yes that was a joke! :D
@@theretrohandyman7708 oh sorry i completely read over the haha part! i opened it up and did some reverse engineering and figured out i had some part placed wrong and now it completely works again! thanks for your quick replies tho!
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Nice! Looking to repair one for myself right now. Glad I found this video :) I have a weird question, when I connect the player to power, the motor starts rotating already. Is it the same for you? What does the play/stop button do?
Hello and thanks for watching ;) Yes it did the same for me at the beginning! I thought it might have been the arm that was stuck, you can see it around 5:00, moving the arm a couple of times seemed to fix it for me. The start/stop button will automatically start a record (based on the rpm 33/45) or stop it. From an idle position it will move the arm to the correct spot on the record and then lower it. If you press it again it will lift the arm and send it back to the arm-holder. Hope this helps!
NIce job!! Can you please tell me the link of the rubber belt? I have the same model! :D
Thanks, here it is: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174194803268
Great how to. Any idea where I can purchase the vampire? Thanks.
Hi dad
😇😉😀😁😂
Yes
Power up around the worl
Hi
Well done
Thanks!
Thanks for the video so i was able to resolve the same issue with the vram from a clone console and it worked :D thanks for the solution. I believe any vram from any sega if its in the correct package and pins even from the clones will just be fine ‘ in my case there is no mismatch issue as well they can go togather as well. Hope this helps
It's really cool that you found this video useful! Good luck with your repairs!
@@theretrohandyman7708 thanks :)
How does he only have 32 subs
I'd like to say a massive thanks for this video. Today I repaired my own Megadrive using a donor board, it worked a treat. Wouldn't have known about it, if it wasn't for your video.
I'm very glad to have been of help!
Cool vid, keep it up! Subscribed.
Wohoo thanks! I will try my best!
Nice fix. Make some more videos. Like Mod the lockout cic chip. You are good in making videos.
