Wow!
Estoy checando un #nintendo #DSiXL y no me esperaba tanta porquería

Found a cheap Nintendo DS Lite at a retro store. Giving it a new shell and some upgrades. That stupid ribbon cable is a giant pain in the butt though. #retrorepairs #retrogaming #nintendods #trashtotreasure

Here's a heart-shaped tape drive belt for you 😄. Wanted to fix a #Datassette for a friend quickly, so I replaced the belt and tried to align the azimut, but as it turns out, this little fella seems to have problems transmitting data reliably. I've never seen this before, but sometimes it will read something (as the align tool indicates to me onscreen), but then again it will not output any signals the next time I turn it on, although the drive is working, the spools are spinning and so on. After a few tries, it works again - until it doesn't. Impossible to align and test it in that condition. Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing it?

Today I'm going to refurbish the second of three #C64 that are still waiting for repair. When I got this one, it was quite dirty and with permanent marker text on the back. It was sold as defective because it showed no picture, which I could already fix by replacing the VIC. I also already cleaned the case, and fully disassembled and cleaned the keyboard. (Photo shows the "before" state, of course. 😉​ )

Next step: Recapping, and replacing the 7805 with a DC/DC converter.

I still have three #C64 that are waiting for repair. Today is a holiday here, and since my mancave is currently in a mess anyway, let's refurbish them (or at least one of them).

Motivation has finally been found and I’m putting the final touches on the next episode. Sorry to anyone that follows for the massive delay in content. This episode took it right out of me just because the repair project had setbacks. Anyway. Expect a new episode to come out tomorrow morning. #n64repairs #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #retrogaming #adhdcreator

Alright. RGB mod was not successful and I’ve not had 2 sec to deal with it. This weekend I’m gonna troubleshoot it one last time and then try and get a video on whether it was successful or failed. Not every video needs to be about success, right? Then I’ll pack my broken laptop up so it can be fixed again and I’ll see if I can get an old Dell dumpster dive up to standard to be an editing rig. #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #creatorproblems #contentcreator

Since doing tech on my channel, I’ve had an overhead camera to get a view in on what I’m working on. I decided recently to change from an old Hard Drive camcorder to my old S21 Ultra. Well, that lasted 1 filming. Sure the S21 has a better camera but I hate it. It’s overly complex for my needs and I can’t see the screen. I’m going back to the camcorder, even if it is ancient. #contentcreator #retrorepairs #setups #videorecording
