StezStix Fix?

Registrace 23. 05. 2020
I might fix it. I might break it more than it was already broken. I might even make it explode. Who knows?
I paid £8 for this PAC MAN thing | Can I FIX It?
This My Arcade Pac Man handheld game was sold as dead, with no power. It's powered by either USB C or AA batteries.
Let's test them both and try and work out what the problem is!
Hope you enjoy!

Do not feel guilty. Ask the previous owner for the parental control PIN. Ah.. you did ask in the end. Good work.
You're so meek and polite in your early videos. I'm glad you loosened-up over time.
I mean aint bad what you paid , i paid 400 bucks back in 2015
I'm trying to repair about 250 wiimotes and one of the more common problems im coming across with some of these is the wiimotes work, but have inverted motion controls. Can you please give me some insight as to how to fix this? Thanks a ton!
Those two 512 (5.1k ohm) resistors @4:48 are on CC1 and CC2 pins on the USB Type-C connection, a quick and dirty way to pull 5V at up to 3A from a charger.
What you SHOULD have done was repair the broken pads first, then attach the USB C port.
The way you would do this is scrape some of the board's green protective layer off, get small wires, and place the small wires in the scraped areas. You would then solder them into place to create the "ghetto pad". After the ghetto pads are in place, you install the USB C and it would make your life so much easier.
I have a spare pcb for this arcade if you need it mate
I was shouting "there's a hole in that there!", "a hole - right thereeee", "Over more - a hole!!". Then he flips the board over and I'm screaming "back to the other side - a hooooole!".
The Pac is Back, baby.
If you don’t mind my question what is the name of that battery type of this machine
'real English'
love the videos but that robbie williams rapping though....
"Stupid Ghosts" camera slowly zooms in 💀💀💀
Well done!
Apologies if answered before but what’s your background? And do you sell the items you fix or keep them?
Eezy Peezy Lemon Squeezy! Nicely Done!
what's that little noise at 6:19?
soak the whole thing in vinegar, then wash with de-ionised water. dont dremel away the sulfates you can damage the traces, i soak pc motherboards it doesnt ahrm them as long as you dont leave it in for too long. it fixes the corrosion perfectly.

To be honest, with anything vintage, Observe, Clean and Resolder wires. Replace caps, scrub battery terminals, but be aware that some idiot might have got in there before you (not calling you an idiot despite "Voice Over Steve"). Warmest Regards Wayne & Nina ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️

I've been going through all your videos again, one enjoyable marathon, especially with the lyrical masterpieces
Good job.
After ten minutes of random button pressing I just received Six Music on the Evoke F4 I bought on eBay. Now it is time to buy a display. What would be useful would be to know the menu structure below the home key.

Love your channel. I have a cool old Vectrex system from my childhood bought in 1980. Was working fine when it went into the attic...now all those years later no sign of life. I'd love it back working and I'm sure it would get you some good viewing figures if you fancied a cracked at it.

I have to ask Steve, have you been on hols? Either that or too long behind the heat of the soldering iron has given you a tan 😂
I now kind of want to mod the screen attachment with a modern IPS or AMOLED display that can handle both the 50hz of PAL and the 60hz of NTSC.
Nice catch!
You're a brave man Gunga Din, either that or a wealthy fool: paying £280 for a non-working device of eBay is folly to say the least but the laugh is on me because you repaired it without any too many problems. Good on yer! I used to enjoy repairing cell phones etc., but then age caught up to me (83) and made me jitter and half blind. I admire your efforts!
Great content,beautifully presented. Made me smile throughout.

Hello, old friend Y1! After so many failed transistors, I vote for namig those pieces the "Y-tho?" because they seem to fail almost randomly. Nice Fix, Sir!
"seamless"..."pretend you didn't see that"... :-D Do more of this please
I'm wondering what could have caused that transistor to have such a hole. It doesn't seem to come from the inside, so perahps it was damaged right after the machine was assembled? Great videos Steve, by the way!
I come for the rap music, but sometimes there's even some electronic stuff. That's culture for you guys.
Good video, I sent you a Sony Walkman wm20 to your po box , can you confirm it arrived please, if your too busy to fix it then kindly return it many thanks
Looks like it's been mod in the past to either overclock or convert to ntsc. It was probably cocked up and the mod chip removed to go in a different machine. Like with the PlayStation some games never got released in the uk
