in addition to the reflowing, an ultrasonic cleaner might help clean some of the crud out that you can't see... all in all, you are doing God's work here saving these old games.

@isabelyork3265 Год назад

I know. It just makes it all the more clear that the previous owner of these cartridges didn't take very good care of them.

@CommanderWiggins Год назад

@@isabelyork3265I think they might have been in a house fire, would explain how it looks like they have extensive heat and water damage. You see that sort of damage a lot from electronics that have been in fires. In that case it wouldn't have been the owner' fault.

@chaoticcuttlefish3655 Год назад

I have the same issue with a Pokémon Crystal I’m restoring. It reads the game and then white screens! I found that if you put it in a GBA and apply down pressure to it, it works… as long as you hold the push the cart the entire time.

@aaronkosharskyswhiteknight5224 Год назад

you need to reflow the solder on surface mount chip. That should fix it.

Like i know those ones where in terrible shape but for the fun of it i would of tried to see if i could get them working again before tossing them in the bin

@ChoppyBubbles86 2 года назад

Maybe could you do a video on how you make the stickers, or even a short? Like the whole process?

@logothaironsides2942 4 месяца назад

That looks like a box of games that someone's mum put in the shed when they moved out. Not me, but I can see how I might have dome that if my adult child had them taking up space in a room they no longer live in. One of those cartridges looks like it has a snail track where a snail ate through the paper. Note to future mums, put them in a big sealed plastic bag too. :D

I have a strange issue. My DK1 & 2 didn't save, I replaced the batteries. They save again. But now the game especialky DK1 crashes when playing the sound gets weird and then it reboots the game. I then try the game on a GBA SP and a Super Game Boy and It works fine. But on a Classic Gameboy it keeps doing it. I was able to play almost to the end of the 2nd world without issuea. I'm really clueless what I did wrong?

House fire + fire department water

@TheXxPSYCHO 2 года назад

House fire messed up the plastic, water corroded the insides

@quackmandoo 2 года назад

As far as the reflow goes, I'd try a hot air rework station and liquid solder, desolder and clean with alcohol before reworking the board

@chriss4365 4 дня назад

Do the japanese games work? Obviously you wont know what any text works. Recently fixed one of my childhood games. Mine are well stored no damage like here. The rom chip just needed all the joints redone on one side and the game works perfect.

I agree, Elon is hilarious period. I'm doubtful of his true intentions with buying Twitter, but the whole situation, especially the reactions from all sides, is still hilarious

@RuxUnderscore 2 года назад

One guy I have watched will scrape the solder mask away to solder tiny jumper wires to fix broken traces, then add solder mask with hardens quickly when applying UV.

@JakeSimmons 2 года назад

Very interesting! Idk if I am that good though😂

@RuxUnderscore 2 года назад

@@JakeSimmons Find some boards you know you wouldn't be able to save anyways and do that?

@look3down2 2 года назад

You can consider to pass these to other RU-vidrs who are looking at the corrosion and fixing the lines

@jamestheace7716 Год назад

Yeah I'm not a RU-vidr but I would love to give it a shot to fix some of those badly corroded I've worked on boards that are damaged even worse than that
