What repairs have you done recently?

Fixed the "open door" mechanism on a PS1 slim.

 

Fixed a gameboy pocket d-pad, left input wasn't working so cleaned it.
Cleaned the contacts on my nes advantage.
And cleaned about 20+ Snes carts.

 

Replaced PSP thumbstick, and repaired well more like removed and cleaned up a leak cap on an xbox(original) also softmodded and bigger hard drive added

 

Full re-cap of Mega CD (model 1), replaced battery with battery holder for ML2032 battery. RE-capped a VA6 MD1. Doing 32X next, then sealing it all up for when my son is old enough to have it

 

Do you think he'll appreciate it? I think most kids are too obsessed with graphics, he might think it looks too old and not be interested

 

Oh he will appreciate it alright....(goes and gets stick)

In all seriousness I sincerely hope he does, I will sugar coat it a bit. Things like "This is what Dad used to play", "But son I spent many many hours fixing this" etc.

There are fellows (few though) that were either not born or just born that play and enjoy Sega (MS/MD). Will have to see, if worst comes to worst think what nut-case will think it is worth then.

 

Son: " Dad, please can i have the new Playstation 5? "
Dad: " Wait a second son, i have something even better for you!! :congratulatory: "

 

He is only 10months old so may well be Playstation 6 or 7 by then lol!

 

Just finished recapping a VA6 model 1 Genesis for a client on PCEngineFX, and I also finished doing a 5V RAM conversion on my ColecoVision. If you have a CV I'd highly recommend getting the RAM converted as it makes the console much more reliable.

 

sony will have gone bust by then and it'll be either the hyundai playstation or the Sega Dreamcast 2 / 3

 

I somewhat doubt there will be a Playstation 5. Which is sad. I like Gran Turismo.

I got sent a Multimega that needed the cart slot replacing - turns out, thats not all.

 

unfixable ? lol

 

Far more time and effort than hes willing to pay (also more than it would cost to buy another - so its understandable).

Will end up as spares probably, case is in good condition (once cleaned up) and laser should work.

 

I found a Gamegear in the garbage that had some similarities with this, but not as bad.
I completely cleaned it. Does not seem to have too serious damage yet does not work.
I will recap it and see.

Oh, and i just fixed an old NES by replacing the PPU

 

While not a repair, at the moment I got a bunch of PC games for free. Sims 2 and a bunch of expansions were included, unfortunately a lot of them were really beat (case only, CD aint too bad)

Who does this to games really?



Some of the covers have water damage (tea stains for the most part ¬.¬) so I've taken them out, tracked down new ones on the cover project and chucked the cases that werent damaged in the bath for a nice hot bubbly to get stickers and gunk off and get them all clean.

 

Reflowed one of the 60GB PS3 i got for $20 bucks, works great now~

 

Replaced the faulty DVD drive of my xbox with a GDR 8163b. Works really nice. I'm impressed how bad these original XBOX drives were. No matter what Samsung, Toshiba, Thomson they were all terrible! And picking between them is just picking between the lesser of two (or more) evils.

People who hate The Sims?

 

I repaired two Pelican Blade-C Original Xbox Controllers.
