As someone who is just getting into video game restoration, it’s satisfying watching others do the same. My first project is a DMG Gameboy, I actually fixed it except for the screen which was unrepairable, so I just ordered a working one today.
Hi how you doing I love your channel I have a question I have a PS1 slim and I made a mistake and soldered off some resistors when I was trying to install a mod chip and I also put a glob of solder on one of the chips if you have a email address I can send you pictures of what I'm talking about I want to know if you can fix it and install the mod chip and you could give me pricing
I'm an engineering student in Electronic Instrumentation. I'm fascinated with the video, I've never been able to repair a device in this way, whenever I try I don't know what procedures to do haha. Good video, greetings from Mexico!
Your channel is so underrated! Keep doing what you are, I subscribed! ( You should restore more consoles it’s such a great content, I will recommend you to my friends)
So glad I found this channel. Every once in a while, I come across a creator whose all videos are of interest to me. You are definitely one of them. Subscribed and am thrilled to see the channel grow!
This was soo cool to watch but I thought u had like 100k subs but u only have like 300 and surprised that so many creators are not found and recognized that they also have good content so I will support by subscribing to you my man good job I love this content and this video was in my recommended
Glad I found your channel and greetings from Romania. I always love how you're tackling every aspect of every console. From the smallest things like video caps for PSone and Game Gear consoles, to the biggest stuff like reflowing 360s, PS3 YLODs , and the most favourite aspects I love, tackling the OG Xbox and the PS2. I hope that one day I might be able to do a set up and tackle various beloved electronics from my home (Acer 5542G restoration, Compaq CQ56 laptop upgrade, OG Xbox revisiting, PS3s, chipped PS2s and such) and hopefully make videos out of them.
My first repair was a broken power cord on an appliance. We have to start somewhere. If you think you'd enjoy it, find something faulty and take it apart and see if you can figure out whats going on with it.
Just happened to come across your channel, and I'm quite surprised at how you haven't got more views and subs - your videos and work are of a very high standard. Keep it up with the content, liked and subscribed :)
You really deserve more subs. The quality of this video made me think you were more popular than you are. I subbed because I love the videos you make. Keep up the good work!
I love that you can get a old console up and running again. I have been at it for a couple months now, just learning how. So thanks for the videos I always find them helpful. I am doing a Sega Genesis 2 right now for my cousin, Sonic the Hedgehog theme. I'm pretty stoked on how it's turning out so far. I actually only bought the broken console for 25 bucks I fixed it and now customizing it and soon to be selling it to her. So thanks again for the awesome videos. Keep it up. Look forward to the next one.
Nice repair, very well done. Just keep in mind that capacitors don't have cathodes/anodes. They just have negative/positive leads. Keep up with more nice videos like this!
Nice work restoring this PSone!! This showed me that in the future, it's worth my time to buy a non-working console and repair it, rather than overpay for a working unit. Repairing consoles actually seems pretty interesting and maybe even kinda fun! You've earned yourself a subscriber, keep up the good work! 😁👍
I'm impressed with your troubleshooting skills and how cleanly you got the caps off the board. Your soldering skills need some work. This is an older video so I'm going to assume your skills have improved since this and you have invested in some better quality solder and a better iron.
@@BorderlineOCD I have beginner skills in fixing electronics and soldering. So for me more important is how to troubleshoot, than what video editing quality is - it's not a big deal 😉
Damn that is a proper repair not those fake ass videos of people fixing fake consoles with coffee grinds. Plus the info is very helpful and very encouraging to try to fix things rather then throwing them away. Especially on a classic console that still looked amazing 👍
Just so I learn something, you connected your probe to the video input signal on your capture card, then traced that signal back to before the damaged capacitor, right? Great job!
Nothing connected to the audio inputs during testing. Just the composite input to probe the various points on the board to check for the video signal. Once I solder the new caps I just use the regular AV Multi Out cable but no sound testing before that stage.
Thank you! As long as you think you'd enjoy it, don't let any perceived lack of expertise stop you from tinkering. I barely know what I'm doing half the time but I always end up leaving a project knowing more than I did going in.
Just picked up a PS1 and there's no video...sound, but no video. Stumbled upon your video and hoping it's an easy fix like yours was! Really enjoyed the video. Nothing fancy, just getting it done. (That's a compliment!). Subscribed and going to check out your other videos. I haven't done any electronic repairs yet, but want to get into it. Hopefully, if my issue is those capacitors, it'll be an easier one to start me off.
Can’t believe this guy hasnt even surpassed 500 subscribers yet! You have amazing content, I was honestly expecting atleast 5-11k subscribers. Hope you keep growing! I also have a request. Can you try to repair and restoration on a gba/ gba sp? I guarantee you will get lots of views on the video.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the content. My most recent handheld purchase was a bunch of DMG Game Boys and some Pockets. I have a few more to repair before I look for another haul but the GBA is on my radar!
soberbio.gran reparacionde la psone...suerte la mia de haber encontrado este tutorial.ya pedi los dos condensadores...espero poder arreglarla pues hace años que duerme averiada...gracias por este tuto amigo.
Great restoration, but I would recommend to replace all caps when you first do a restoration. The ps1 is getting a bit old now and it would be a shame if one started to leak and ruin parts of the machine.
I'd definitely consider this on a system that has more personal collecting value to me. I'm keeping a look out for the original PS and may do a more thorough restoration once I get my hands on one.
Just to confirm what I think I saw in the video, you have a regular meter probe alligator clipped to an RCA composite cable and fed into your capture card? That's pretty slick!
Thank you very much. Funny you should say that :) I bought a TS100 last week and had a chance to use it in a recent video (replacing an internal GameCube battery). I certainly appreciate having a better iron and quality flux/solder. As a beginner I am glad I worked my way up to it though. The benefits may have been lost on me if I hadn't practiced on a cheaper setup first.
I appreciate the sentiment. I'm enjoying the repairs and restorations and learning a lot in terms of video editing. I'm thrilled this may folks are interested in what I'm doing.
I'm no soldering expert and I've still managed to fix countless gadgets and appliances. Just buy a cheap soldering iron to start and have some fun with it. If something is already broken you don't have much to lose!
Mine still immediately turns off after (even though switch is in on position), the LED blinks green when pressed but as soon as I take pressure off the LED turns off again. I feel like it's an issue with the button but I followed your video and my button parts all looks the same as yours
Great job. What do you suggest doing when the PS1 starts to the home screen, but the lens doesn't do anything. Is that a capacitor issue, or something more serious with the lens.
If the disc isnt spinning at all, its likely that the grease has dried out and the gears arent catching so the slide doesnt move. Im having this issue with a couple of mine and need to get some lithium grease
at 14:02 sure you say that but not everywhere can everyone find those tools i am a 16 year old and would love to fix stuff but i dont have tool like the multimater and soldering ion i cant seem to find any
A basic soldering iron and multimeter are pretty inexpensive (you don't need anything fancy). I started with the cheapest pair I could find and I used them for many years while my skills slowly improved. You can also start with simpler repairs like a dead phone battery, an appliance with a faulty or broken power cord. Your relatives may have stuff laying around the house, just ask family and friends if they have stuff to let you practice repairing them. Once you get into it it becomes a fun hobby (expect to make mistakes along the way, I certainly still do).
Man this was an awesome video. I'm currently waiting on my first batch of "broken" consoles to come in so I can attempt to fix them. For most of them I'm not expecting much problem, but if there are any issues with the motherboard like in this video, where do you look for information on how the connections on the board flow? Are there schematics, or is it intuition from working on boards?
This particular system has very easy to find schematics. I found them useful for component identification, particularly fuse values. But I don't go straight to schematics. There's a bunch of common issues with this model you can check first. I have another PSone video that covers some of these common issues: ua-cam.com/video/k6JgGvVGmgw/v-deo.html.
The originals are 220uf 4V caps. I replaced them with 220uf 10V caps. I got mine locally in my neighborhood, but if you want to buy them online you might as well source the exact replacements rather than install the larger ones I chose to use.
As someone who is just getting into video game restoration, it’s satisfying watching others do the same. My first project is a DMG Gameboy, I actually fixed it except for the screen which was unrepairable, so I just ordered a working one today.

UA-cam recommendations did me good. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks!
Thanks very much
That bootup sound never fails to give me chills
It takes me back to a certain time and place. Feels like a lifetime ago.
That bootupsound should have been used in all other playstations too. Nothing beats the original bootupsound
@@Kinsanth_ 💯
10:14 you can also check your previous recordings and see the orientation of the caps.
Indeed, that would make sense :)
Seems this video is being recommended and damn it really is a great video. It will be great to see your other videos. A sub earned :)
Definitely check out my other videos if you haven't already :) Thanks for the sub.
So satisfying to watch. It's good to see people which they know what to do and what to check and they fix things. Well done!
Thank you, still a beginner in board repair but learning a little with each project.
@@BorderlineOCD You are doing great job. Keep posting more videos!
Im glad this was in my recommendations, nice video man
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Cool
OMG I would like to have that knowledge to repair things. In that way, I would never worry about my consoles again.
My first repair was a broken power cord on an appliance. We have to start somewhere. If you think you'd enjoy it, find something faulty and take it apart and see if you can figure out whats going on with it.
I do too! These videos really inspired me to want to do console repairs. Its so interesting.
I never watched a tech video from start to end till now. Aura was good.

Can this be done in a ps2
Not sure. These particular caps are known to fail on the PSone. I’m not aware that the PS2 has the same known issue.
Nice repair, very well done. Just keep in mind that capacitors don't have cathodes/anodes. They just have negative/positive leads. Keep up with more nice videos like this!
Man I have a lot of consoles you really got me motivated to fix my own stuff I hope your page grows and you're successful
Thank you very much. Good luck on your console repair journey. It’s a fun hobby for sure.

Good luck with your repair.
Love the Spyro music in the background
It's actually a cover rather than the original track but it's a great rendition.
@@BorderlineOCD great man, very like this track , Demo disc from poland PlayStation Magazine ;) memories
"Just jerk it around a little bit and make sure it's in there really good". Best tech repair advice I have ever heard.
Top vídeo! Congratulations,shout out from Brazil.
Força Brasil!
Great video man! appreciate the resourcefulness. great looking ps1. keep up the videos!
Thank you!
I'm impressed with your troubleshooting skills and how cleanly you got the caps off the board.
Your soldering skills need some work. This is an older video so I'm going to assume your skills have improved since this and you have invested in some better quality solder and a better iron.

Nice tidy replacement of those caps, those replacements fit in neatly
Thank you sir. They look kind of hilarious and ridiculous at the same time but I've grown quite fond of them :)
Great video. Love your restoration work on the PSone.
Thank you!
Just so I learn something, you connected your probe to the video input signal on your capture card, then traced that signal back to before the damaged capacitor, right?

Yes, that is correct.

Nothing connected to the audio inputs during testing. Just the composite input to probe the various points on the board to check for the video signal. Once I solder the new caps I just use the regular AV Multi Out cable but no sound testing before that stage.
Great repair fair play. You just gained a new Sub :)

Do you think a ps2 slim ac adaptor can work as a replacement for the original adapter
I vividly remember doing this as a kid, that will work fine!
@@winlover37 i can confirm to everyone whos wondering it works flawlessly
I thought this was a song from Spyro. Nice vid.
It's a rendition but its a good version.

Nice work.
Thank you.
Great repair video! I have to fix my PSone too..
Thank you.
Iv seen this in other videos too but why do you have to have the capacitor turned and facing a specific way? Video was awesome thank u plz make more
good job fixing. youtube should have a lot and a lot more of fixing things.
Thank you!
What is the voltage range rule for these capacitors? Also, what are those codes on the capacitors?
What's the adapter you're using on your Mac? Also, is there a lot of input lag?
My favorite game was Tomb Raider II, that took me a very long time to beat back in 98 or 99, can't remember.
Nice repair! First solder was a little ugly, but really excelent result after all!
I wanna see more

Great Video!
I have a PSone which both memory ports do not work.
So u have any tips or clues what the problem could be?
I have a video about finding PSone faults. Check that out and examine all your fuses. One of them is likely blown.
hi，just curious,what capture card you are using on the iMac?
what spray did you use bro?
PlayStation original intro screen is so satisfying 😂🤩😯🤤😱
Nope
Great job. What do you suggest doing when the PS1 starts to the home screen, but the lens doesn't do anything. Is that a capacitor issue, or something more serious with the lens.
