Haha glad you are amused. The struggle is real my friend.

FYI, I’ve done several of these repairs. It’s really best to replace the neighboring capacitor, too - it’s responsible for the s-video signal. So composite works now, but there’s a good chance s-video is still bad.

yeah more than likely when one goes bad its only a matter of time till the rest go bad

Ex-Sony engineer here, nice to see someone still cares enough to keep these little consoles alive. The dull joint was caused by a mixture of two different types of solder initially. Wicking it off and re-soldering was the way to go. It all got a bit melted though when replacing the cap. Probably not a bad idea, (as other people have suggested), to replace the rest of the capacitors, to save them leaking at a later date, maybe with a fine soldering iron tip instead. Just a thought. 🙂

Great out take at the end 🤣🤣

I like this format. I know it might not always be feasible or practical for you to use, depending on the video, but I think it is really cool and shows the things going on that are normally off camera, like setting up for the repair, that brings value to the overall finished video. And the blooper at the end.....HILARIOUS!

Another great repair. I'm really enjoying watching you work. I only stumbled upon your channel a little while ago but so far I like what I see. That power connector solder joint issue reminds me of MANY I have had to do over the years and I find the early lead free solder just s*cks and cracks far too often. I have a 60+ year old 5lb spool of kester 50/50 rosin cored solder I use for just this sort of thing as it flows amazingly well and does such a great job fixing those lead free joints. It leaves a good amount of flex and never cracks. As far as epoxy goes I completely agree with you but I have also found something even better to use with plastics like this: automotive polyurethane panel bonding adhesive. Permatex sells a great 2-part one in the syringe just like you used here and it has superior bonding and strength. Comes in black, grey and tan so it tends to blend in very well for the near-invisible repair. So far I have not come across a plastic it won't bond other than polyethylene which really isn't going to be used for cases like this.

Another great fix, I like the new format. The end skit was funny, keep it up.

Ok, at first I was like. "No!, he's not doing clickbait thumbnails now is he?" You nailed it perfectly. The gaping mouth with the photoshopped enlarged eyes LOL. Honestly, I saw this on ebay as well and I was very tempted to buy this because I figured it was the capacitor. Now I'm glad I didn't otherwise you probably wouldn't have made this video. I'm not the biggest fan of the PSOne because it just feels cheap but when combined with the LCD screen it's a nice portable-ish system.

Haha its a small world of repair fiends scouring eBay for these consoles. I'm still on the lookout for an LCD attachment worth repairing. I passed on an aftermarket one (forget the manufacturer) because I'd love to own the Sony version.

Years ago when I was an apprentice I got “scolded” for using lithium grease on plastic. Not sure if you are using a special recipe however what I was using specifically said “lithium should not contact plastics or rubbers - will cause material degradation”. Probably doesn’t matter in the short term maybe even the long term however as soon as I saw you do that I had a flash of nostalgia 😂. I’m really enjoying your videos.

Great job. You need to be careful around those electrolytic caps with high temperature though, you can boil the liquid electrolyte pretty easily with those hot air guns. The cap then turns into a dangerous projectile which could possibly hit your eye, if you're not wearing safety glasses. I think it's also probably better to change all the caps in that area which came into contact with the hot air gun at least. But as you probably know yourself, these things could really do with a full cap replacement to future proof them. But that's just being nit picky 🙂

For gluing abs or abs/polycarbonate like that, try MEK and/or acetone. If you're working on a black plastic shell, ABS plumbing glue works pretty well (would work on other colors too, but you'll have a black spot where you applied the glue). If you look at the ingredients list, its acetone, MEK, and ABS resin. I just did that repairing the disc drive door hinge on a PS2 slim and it worked really well. The nice thing about that repair is it basically melts the parts together. So, the parts aren't glued together, they are fused. Repair should be about as strong as the original was.

You are Amazing i love ur worx : ))) The Hot Air which u use i have it too, but never understand how i can handle with it : ( i will use it on SMD and Console repairs that is enaugh too or ?

Making this a behind-the-scenes repair doesn't made it any less interesting to watch. In fact, I've liked this style better because I could see more of the process and I don't mind longer videos. I really hope you will do similar videos in the future. The attention to detail is just amazing. (I know, I know, I always say this) In tight places such as the one where you removed the capacitor from, especially if there is plastic nearby, I usually just use two soldering irons, heat the two sides and lift it of. I guess I'm too afraid that the capacitors might explode from direct heat :) Some humour slipped in when you drinked redbull while you were waiting for the hot air to heat up...maybe you could heat up some tea with it next time to make it funnier :D

Yeah its a pretty common problem on a lot of electronics, especially consoles that might have been previously owned by kids if they were rough on the cables. Some adults too for that matter. Mechanical stress is probably the biggest reason these consoles are sold as "not working" and as you have found out, a very easy fix.

I remember first seeing this console as a kid. I thought "It's smaller then a VHS!" 🤣
