I bought this for £40 from off eBay. Sold as faulty but "working". It was supposed to work plugged in... but for some reason it doesn't.
After filming this, I've looked through countless forum posts of people having the same issue. Blaze must have made a big boo-boo with some batches of these systems...
Anyway, let's try and get it working again... I enjoyed this one, and I hope you do too!

Ranks has been controversial for homophobia, particularly violent attitudes towards homosexuals. The 1990 song "Wicked in Bed" includes lyrics about shooting gay men.[14] In 1992, during an appearance on Channel 4 music show The Word, he was asked to give his thoughts on the subject of the hit song, "Boom Bye Bye", by Buju Banton. Shabba held a copy of a Bible which he carried with him and stated that the "word of God" advocated the "crucifixion of homosexuals".

@ 8:02 - no, I won't call you an idiot - but popping the connector pins out of the connector and reversing then would have been a LOT quicker and easier, plus the colours remain correct! I use the tip of a No. 10 scalpel blade to push in the little spring-retainers in the connector housing, then gently pull the wire out. There's even a tool to do this if you are feeling a bit flush! The scalpel is easier and cheaper.

A few years ago I repented to God then Prayed for help, "I was until then an Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in Perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I Held him was unlike Anything I've Ever felt before - A Lifetime of Love Every Second - It brought me to Sobbing and it changed my life, Forever. I've had Many experiences since, "Several witnessed". A voice Spoke Clearly into my ear, "Go Visit Your Father Today.", hours before he passed. When I prayed if I could leave this world my body spoke a word Without My Permission I Never Heard Before, "Malarkey". Hours before a major surgery a Bright orb of light Passed across my face. God and Jesus ARE real! Truly Love God & Everyone! I believe Prayer, Following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, Truly becoming Humble, Merciful, Welcoming, Giving, Gentle, Respectful, Compassionate, Patient, Kind and Forgiving, To Everyone. ~ I've been obsessed with these oldschool gaming console fix videos. It's helped me take my mind off of what's happening in this world. Thanks for the kind content if it's ever read.

Started off watching repairs mainly due to fluking across my mate Vince in his early vids were he messed up more than succeeded. That said it was nice to see him improving as time went on but as he went more to his car repair and such (which isn't my thing) I found your channel and a few other repair based ones. Anyway to get to the point I think your my favourite fix it channel at the present time and I kind of hope Vince brings back the repair competition he's had a few times and includes you in it.

You’re a braver man than I Steve, lithium batteries terrify me, I’d have just replaced it,

@JeffreyGroves Месяц назад

Sadly, the battery in that exact size is pretty much unobtanium. This is the number off the battery: SL805154 which translates to 8.0mm x 51mm x 54mm dimensions. Likely Evercade had these battery pouches custom made to fit their use case. The closest I could find is a 804040 which will fit, but is obviously smaller than the original, so you'll be missing some battery life compared to the original.

It is incredibly easy to swap the terminals with a little practice. It only needs a sharp pointy object to pry the plastic tab and the terminal will back out. You can use a safety pin, or any other kind of pin. But a utility knife blade or point on some tweezers also works. The benefit is that you keep the correct wire colors, and it's much quicker to do, no soldering.

For the charge control board swap from one battery to another, as long as the batteries have the same voltage rating, it should be fine to swap them. For 8:10 I have always found it faster to just change the pins around in the plug of that type of battery. Ya just use your tweezers to lightly push up the plastic holding the pins in and the pins pop out easily. the swap them around, they'll snap right back in, and ready to go!

Soldering on battery terminals is a bad idea generally. They cant handle the heat, and once those cells are compromised they cannot recover. There's a reason most battery terminals and BMS are spot welded together. Nanoseconds of heat is way safer than 350c for a few seconds.
