I picked this up from off eBay for £8.00, which is nice.
It was sold as "untested"... so I tested it... and it doesn't work, surprisingly.
Let's try and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

Fascinating. Usually these are those terrible to semi-decent NES on a chip messes, but this one clearly is a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive on a chip. I think the audio sounded slightly off on Turtles but not too bad, and looked like it played and displayed right. I'm semi-tempted by sticker to go looking for one of those online just to see the game list etc.

@Kraaketaer
@Kraaketaer 9 месяцев назад
Judging by the look of that USB-C port I think someone has jammed a micro-USB cable into it, with both ends of the inner plastic part being entirely mashed but the middle part being somewhat intact. Might be wrong, but it sure looks that way!

Any constant current constant voltage bench power supply is also a lithium battery charger. Set the volts to 4.2V and the current to be about half or less of the Amp hour rating. If the voltage is below 3V, use a low current like 1/10th the AH rating. If below 2V, use 1/50th. Charge is complete when the current drops off close to zero. Independently measure the load voltage to make sure it’s what the bench says, you do not want to exceed 4.25V.
