@ It is messy, yet so fun and satisfying. I was doing a 0.1mm trace repair yesterday on a non-removable board inside of a 40mm 4 wire fan. Was shocked I managed to get the soldering iron tip down inside. Everyone should give it a try. One day I might even invest in a microscope.
I listen to all of the intro songs. Loved the Rapper's Delight homage today. I'm a 44 year old nerd, but even my teenaged daughters think that your flow is pretty solid and that this is a better way of thanking your Patrons than just listing them.
And i really loved the take-me-back-to-Sugarhill Gang memory lane trip but I also always really really like the music that you use between the different steps.
Good shout Emilio! I do try and remember but it quite often slips my mind! I'll definitely try harder in future videos, even if it's just a voice-over or text on screen! 👍
Can I thank you for showing me the superglue + baking powder thing. I was able to fix my son's broken shoe this morning when he told me it had a hole in the sole. One piece of flexible plastic glued on later, disaster averted and he has a working shoe until I replace it later. Thank you so much!
I looked up the data sheet for that chip. Pins 4 and 5 are D- and D+ for Port 4 and pins 10 and pins 11 are D- and D+ for Port 1. I thought for sure you wouldn't get controller one to work. I wonder if maybe controller 1 is hooked up to port 4. Either way, if that's got spots for 4 controllers, I think 2 of them are not going to work.
I'd love to see a video where you explain a little more about what you are using and where you get it from, ie tools, or the wire, what it is, is it just a thread of copper (I assume not) etc etc
Got to say this channel is the best on UA-cam love everything about this I don't know anything about electronics or microchips etc but just great to see what you do and of course love the English humour solid lol its almost therapeutic
Little tip when you have loose pads that are still connected smooth them down flat cover with a thin layer of solder mask cure to rock hard then scape back to copper' more easy than replacing pads/traces ....
Awesome video! Your original video is how I fixed my own! As for the cause, it seems like a lot of us that used raspberry pi 3 power supplies had this issue. That extra .1 volt maybe?
I remember playing parasol stars when i was like 4 years old. i could never find any of the gameplay anywhere cus i couldnt remember the name but finally i know it after watching this video xD thank you!
I've been using high heat resistant epoxy to re-adhere loose pads or replacement pads, especially for anchor pads, for a while now and and it works quite splendidly.
Let me ask a quick thing for my understanding: if there is no visible trace on the pcb to the chip, the pad of the chip is just to pin it down to the pcb am i right? because Stez has just fixed the pads where a trace was visible on the pcb.
Hey yout show is really good. Just bought I new. Retro nes. When it powers on the controllers the buttons on scroll the main menu. If this interests you. Let me know. I have a feeling it's a bad board. But it might b different
I actually fixed it thanks to watching ur show. I decided to take it apart and look for obvious clues. Low and behold I saw a bridge of the solder points for controller #1. Alls I did was scraape away the bridge and I really didn't think it would work. Works perfect now. Thanks for your show and my eyes hurt looking that close. No wonder u have a magnifier. Very cool show
Stupid Rainbow Stars Parasol Island
Parasol Stars is Bubble Bobble 3, you were right that Rainbow Island was Bubble Bobble 2.
11:24 But this isn't Bubble Bobble II, this is Bubble Bobble III :)
It seems your projects get easier but in reality you're just getting way better ! Well done Stez.
Definitely the latter: trace replacing is a very messy job, and doing it on the first try is an achievement.
Thanks M.! Yeah, I would've struggled with this a couple of years back. Definitely feel more comfortable doing it now! 😍

@@StezStixFix Thank you for not being modest.
I was gonna say.
¡Gracias!
Steveo, Check out the title screen at 11:24 you were playing Bubble Bobble 3. Thats why you got confused fella!
Proper howling at my shoutout! Thank you x
🤣 glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for the capture card, it worked a treat! You're a star 😍
I listen to all of the intro songs. Loved the Rapper's Delight homage today.

Your intro is one another level. Always new and fresh
Man, that pad for pin 2 refused to give up!
And i really loved the take-me-back-to-Sugarhill Gang memory lane trip but I also always really really like the music that you use between the different steps.
Solid!!!
Really appreciate this, the Core Grafx will definitely be taking pride and place in the mancave collection!
My pleasure! Thanks for sending it over to me and I hope it carries on working well! 😍
Didn't know they had made a new "mini" version!
Excellent work Steve. Those little jumpers are starting to look easy. 👍
Thanks Chris! Having the microscope makes it much more fun! 😁
"Core" Blimey- another fantastic fix by Captain Bodge himself😅😅
Captain Bodge to the rescue! 😁
Have to say, this has become my favourite channel on UA-cam.
Fixing a broken thing then using that broken thing to fix ANOTHER broken thing is true satisfaction 💯
Nice one Steve ! And Amazing song!. You know what could be useful for someone like me? If you can say which temps do you use for solder/de solder.
Good shout Emilio! I do try and remember but it quite often slips my mind! I'll definitely try harder in future videos, even if it's just a voice-over or text on screen! 👍
Your trace fixing has reached new heights. Great stuff Steve.
Nice one, Steve! I dunno why, but I always get the urge to look away when you put on the UV light 😅
🤣 Thanks AFU!
That's pretty fluxed up.
My favourite mini console, that menu music is just awesome

Who else sticks around here for like 20% for the fixes but 80% for HIM?
Nicely Done Steve 👍 Great Video as always :)
Super talented UA-camr my favorite repairs learned so much keep up the fantastic videos 😁
Brilliantly done Steve thanks
Best rap you’ve done yet IMO. Can’t go wrong with rappers delight.
I'd love to see a video where you explain a little more about what you are using and where you get it from, ie tools, or the wire, what it is, is it just a thread of copper (I assume not) etc etc
Got lucky with the pads there! 😅
Definitely, it could've been so much worse! 😬
Great fix as always ! S-O-L-I-D
Excellent video, Steve. Looking all SOLID xD
What's the small grinder you're using at 8:18?
Cheers for the upload Steve.... missed them
great background music on this one. nice repair, too!
Got to say this channel is the best on UA-cam love everything about this I don't know anything about electronics or microchips etc but just great to see what you do and of course love the English humour solid lol its almost therapeutic
I’m very surprised!! You did a goos job!
The music in this video even sounds like a PC Engine CD game. Between that guitar tone and the synth bells at least
Great to see you in more goofy spirits! Fantastic video as always - and that capture card footage looked great!
Nice fix again Steve, well done.
Little tip when you have loose pads that are still connected smooth them down flat cover with a thin layer of solder mask cure to rock hard then scape back to copper' more easy than replacing pads/traces ....
Best Patreon segment yet! That was great haha
Great fix. How did you work out the three you left didn't need wire traces added?
I really really enjoy your videos, great continue please !!!!
I do like when you post your UA-cams,keep it up,thanks
What's the UV lamp you are using to cure the solder mask?
Excellent repair and video Steve!!! 🐺😁
Hello steve! I love your videos.. keep it up!
Nice. Who's playing on that chill guitar music
Nice
Awesome video! Your original video is how I fixed my own! As for the cause, it seems like a lot of us that used raspberry pi 3 power supplies had this issue. That extra .1 volt maybe?
Props to “Repairs Delight” Nice!
Nicely done Steve!
Thanks for making me laugh Steve, love the vids!
Neat one Steve gg !
Thanks Bruno! 😍
which wire are you using to make the jumper wire ?
you can use solder mask top and bottom of the loose pads first - to save them from coming off - save urself work
Excellent fix. You are a genius
Is it just me or the raps are getting better everytime ? 😂
That's cool but what is it? Some kind of Mini clone system?
Another great video… thanks Steve.
Is ‘VOS’ available to sing at my wedding?
WHat kind of microscope do you use? I am interested in picking one up.
As always incredible fix!! What's the name of the ending song Stez is covering?? I feel like I remember it from way back in the day
For anyone curious, its Stars by Simply Red!! Great tune
The VoS musical interlude is giving off Will Smith vibes this week. I dig it
Great video Steve! I really enjoy your problem solving skills...and also the songs too!😂 Man that game capture looks great too.
Great video stez
Once again, great vid. Nice job
I remember playing parasol stars when i was like 4 years old. i could never find any of the gameplay anywhere cus i couldnt remember the name but finally i know it after watching this video xD thank you!
the musics... oh so nostalgic 16bit era
Another quality and entertaining video ty !
Can you tell what size microscope you use
I mean screen size
Nice fix
Yeah Steve,it's Look and not Luke.
Great job
Hi Steve, not sure if best way to message, question for you, have you ever done a mod on an aAtari 2600 to make it work on current tvs?
I wonder how hot your solder station is since you flux burn so fast away and make solder tin uncontrol !?
I've been using high heat resistant epoxy to re-adhere loose pads or replacement pads, especially for anchor pads, for a while now and and it works quite splendidly.
awesome video, great song
Stop it, that photo of Kip!! 😂😂😂
Kip the Kip Hakes.
What is that flux please Sir? Do you have a link where I can buy it?
Let me ask a quick thing for my understanding: if there is no visible trace on the pcb to the chip, the pad of the chip is just to pin it down to the pcb am i right? because Stez has just fixed the pads where a trace was visible on the pcb.
Your choice of incidental music suggests you might be a fan of Camel... if so, please come out as there are precious few open Camel fans in the world!
I almost fast-forwarded, but I like this little rap.
RMC collaboration, yes
hi, what microscope to you use?
Bubble Bobble II IS Rainbow Islands, but the game you chose was Bubble Bobble III, which is Parasol Stars lol
Nice video i like the humor 😂
That's a lot of Jumpers for Summertime 🤣
Hey yout show is really good. Just bought I new. Retro nes. When it powers on the controllers the buttons on scroll the main menu. If this interests you. Let me know. I have a feeling it's a bad board. But it might b different

Nice work Steve , can you do a music cd 🎉
i feel guilty skipping the song. whenever when i do skip it though it reminds me to click the thumbs up.
Bizarrely, Gordon the Gopher is a bit controversial nowadays. 😮
According to the game splash screen, Parasol Stars is Bubble Bobble III, not II.
nice solid fix and video :)
My dream retro console, one day I will own one 😊
have you ever played the game about fixing retro consoles called retro gadgets on steam
Steve I love you ❤
Ceefax™️ called and they want their music back 🎶
Your rap reminded me of "Cosmo D" from back in the day.
Stez is here. Yeah
I don't know much how these things work, but the two leg without pad why didn't get any love?
Some people woke up in a new bugatti
Stez woke up in a new capture card 😂
lol your freaking awesome lol love the music you really do good
