Remember kids, Sellotape is not very good at soldering components in place.
This Bandai Sub Attack (also known as Sub Patrol and U-Boat) Electronic Game from 1982 doesn't start up and has no sound. Will I be able to repair it?
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

Soldering is clearly overhyped. Taping the components down has many advantages. Things are way easier to replace and fix. No special tools/skills required. You can use less heat-resistant components, making things cheaper. Tape is non-conducting, reducing the risk of electric shock. Accidentally bridging contacts with solder is no issue anymore. You can run 1 strip of tape several times around the board, securing all components at once. No more burnt hands from holding the soldering iron the wrong way. You can get tape with your name printed on, so everybody can see who did a magnificent taping job. My brother-in-law sells tape, so he's going to make more money. I see only pros, no cons!

@davidconway3063 2 года назад

The capacitor that you removed looked like it said 22uF instead of 2.2uF. Maybe it was just the camera angle, but I didn't see a decimal point. Not sure if that would make a difference anyway. Either way, thanks for another great video and hope you feel better soon!

@StezStixFix 2 года назад

Thanks David! I noticed that too when I was editing it, but I double checked the one I took out and it was 2.2uF. Must've been the angle of the camera! 👍

@TripEllex 2 года назад

@@StezStixFix As a fellow console repairer with over 20 years electronics experience (Navy trained), I saw that cap and was immediately concerned you were replacing a 22uf with a 2.2. Having rewatched that section, I have to disagree with the above comment, that is indeed a 22uf cap. The 22 is printed multiple times and nowhere inbetween any instance of them is there a dot, as there is inbetween the 6.3v, camera angle isn't the issue. Not to call you out or anything, if it works in the end, great. But lower capacitance values in a circuit such as that can lead to issues down the line. Next time, please triple check and make sure you're using the right cap to avoid issues in the future.

@CTCTraining1 2 года назад

That was a good fix and in situations where you can’t be sure of the expected behaviour it can be tricky to know how successful you’ve been. I’ve noticed that track damage near to places where people press on a board can generate mechanical wear even though the flexing feels trivial. If it comes back to you again just add a couple bits of wire avoiding that area of the board altogether.... remember the original designers wanted something that would be in the shops fast and as long as it worked for a year they were happy ... so many decades on extra reinforcements may well be the way to go. Keep up the great work 👍😀

@StezStixFix 2 года назад

Thanks Chris! Good shout, I suppose adding a couple of wires too would give it that extra bit of security! Appreciate the tip! 👍

Reminds me of our old Vic-20 which clearly had a loose solder joint in the RF box. If you pushed down from the top the picture would come on but otherwise not. So my Dad not being an electrical type (and this was like 1987) taped the thing up tight and then for more pressure to the floor (this was the era of 'TVs are furniture') just in front of the TV. Worked like a charm. Hhehehehe.

@Alinktome 2 года назад

Thank you man, i love these solarpower games. I think 1/ the original speaker was ok but needed to be cleaned from corrosion. 2/ the mistake i think you made when you tested your speaker from tiger game, is that you just forgot how to start the game. It seems you did not pushed acl , select, and right or left. I did not see you push the select area inside and that is why the game did not start, so no sound. I may be wrong... Anyway there are 4 big games with 2 real superposed different lcd screens. And 5 middle/small games with 2 screens smartly alternating on the same 1 and only lcd. (Like yours there).

@grointastic4242 2 года назад

@enjoilife1128 Год назад

Maybe I'm crazy, but I swear one of the ceramic caps to the right of the screen was charred and cracked on one of the leads. Didn't look like the connection was completely severed though. I noticed it at 6:34

@christopherdecorte1599 Год назад

With most of the pads being still attached. I would have superglued it back in place then jumper it after glue cured.

@wyxchari 10 месяцев назад

Something I've wondered about for a while now is the possibility of using a high temperature epoxy to bond the pads back to the circuit board for mechanically fixing on these one-sided boards.

I get where your coming from with the sellotape but it’s a game that was made for kids and when a 10 year old try’s to fix it cause that resistor broke they thought sellotape might work seen as I tried to fix my toys when they broke and I couldn’t repair toys like this when I was 10. So making a big deal out of it when you don’t know who’s tried to fix it is a bit ridiculous.
