Restoring a Broken $2 Tetris Handheld. 9999999 Games in 1

  • I bought this old broken Tetris style brick game hand held console for restoration for $2. You can also buy similar devices new for the same price, but sometimes it's about the journey, not the destination. I don't know what math they used to calculate the promised 9999999 games, but I think the real number is a bit under 3000, mostly different variation of Tetris. The console is badly yellowed and dirty, the audio doesn't work, some screws are missing, and there is a lot of rust on the contacts.
    I started by disassembling the console. Somehow I was surprised how cheap it was on the inside. Not sure what I expected... I found the audio was missing because one of the wire was loose. I suspect some parent may have done that to make the device silent because the sounds were really loud and irritating. The wire was easy to solder back on.
    Second issue with the device was the corroded terminal for battery. This happens when a battery is left on the device and it leaks. This can sometimes ruin the motherboard but in this case everything was fine. I desoldered the terminals and put them in rust remover to get rid of the rust. After this I re-plated the terminals with nickel. Here's a tutorial to DIY nickel plating I made: • How to make simple DIY...
    It was necessary to prevent them from rusting again. If I wanted to do an upgrade I could have fitted new terminals from a Gameboy because those are made of copper which is far better conducting.
    I also removed the yellowing from the plastic shell which was supposed to be colorless. For this I used the same retrobrighting method as always. H2O2 and UV-light. Full tutorial here: • How to remove yellowin...

    Hey there, just wanted to let you know my 10 year old daughter’s favourite thing to do before bed is to watch one of your restoration videos with me. It’s great daddy daughter time. Her favourite part is when you organize and line up all the parts after disassembly. Cheers, and keep up the great videos.

    I had one of these ones back in '97, the same model and build. About 15 years later, while digging around a shed my father stacked things into, i found this lying in an old box. For curiosity's sake i turn it on and not only is it working, it has a tetris game my dad had on level four while paused. Fun fact: you can pause, turn it off, turn it on and it will still work, but to have it locked up 15 years, still saved up and with the same original batteries was just amazing. I still have the console around here, but i changed the batteries.

      I have about 70 of the older Brick Games (~1990-2001) in 2021, and obviously I know about the pause function working when turned off, but to have one keep a game for 15 years is amazing! These UM6510s are very good to batteries (although my 9 in 1 ES99 and 300 in 1 E300 arrived from Italy both with corroded terminals - coincidence...?) whereas the earliest single-game E23s drain any batteries left in them.

    Ahh! I had one of these when I was younger! Tons of fun and hours played on it. I loved listening to the KALINKA theme it had for the Tetris mode. ^_^ Thanks for saving one of these games.

    Опа, Тетрис!
    Лучшая портативная консоль моего детства, а графика вообще улет :)

    This is so nostalgic and cool :) I used to have one when i was 8 years old. I did not have any console in my childhood, and this was the closest to one.

    This thing is actually quite fun. My parents ran a dollar shop and they sold these ones. Since we already had a Mega Drive and preferred to spend our money on games for it, me and my brother picked one of these each for going to the beach and the pool. No sun reflection, the batteries lasted over a month, you weren't risking breaking an expensive thing and the games were surprisingly well implemented. A fun fact: some games might look the same but had different options, one Tetris might rotate left, other right, another would allow you to move after landing, another not, and so on.

    I have had exactly that! It was my only type of console before I got a GBA ad a teen. Got it from a flea market here in Germany. Amazing to see this after so long...

    Had a feeling many years ago that this console would get so iconic that 2 decades later there would be a careful ASMR restoration of the contraption. Nickel plating the battery contacts?! Damn son, this thing is goona run forever!

    I guess I could say it looks like a pretty good hand-held gaming system even for an old one

    So satisfying to see something old, yellowed and broken made new again. Great video!!! (Jan Griffiths).
