Wait, kokichi saying nice things? Thats new

That TDK block you looked at in the CRT is a transformer and it likely wasn't bad. Likely the corrosion you found led to trace damage which cut off something important in the vertical deflection circuit. The slow death you witnessed where it had intemittent momentary vertical collapse would further point to a trace corroding away.

I think it's probably an old form of genius. I remember buying products called "Cap'n Crunch Oops!

I don't remember what the "Fun Shapes" product was (it was food of some sort), but I specifically remember thinking after opening the package: "Oh... clearly what happened here is someone at the factory pulled the wrong lever and a person in the marketing department was like: 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'.".

literally started shouting "What about that one?" when the 2:49 shot showed it. It looks completely blown out.

I'm glad to hear the old outro is back. Good video about how failing happens sometimes and that's ok.

That gunck was not leaked capacitor oil, it was just soldering flux left by the manufacturer, usually it is not conductive and does not prevent it from working. You had to have unsoldered the part, and measured the board contacts without the part, as if it were shorted it would result in a low voltage reading. These CRTs are quite common to have bad contact in the welds due to the heat, you can check this simply by poking things with a piece of plastic or rubber and seeing if anything happens.

Bro I think I can help regarding the TV because I fixed two of these last week , one was a 14 inch TV and the other was a 1980 Sonodyne-Toshiba Colour TV (It was a very expensive TV of that time in India) so here is what was maybe wrong. First thing is to remove the vertical deflection chip entirely and then checking the voltages because the chip is prone to shorting on failing , which causes the voltage to drop , happened exactly in my case. If still the voltage is low , you should see a 25v 1000uf capacitor near the vertical ic , replace that one , and also replace the diode which goes from the transformer to the vertical ic. Now about the transformer , its probably okay , just has some burned traces but in case its dead , most CRT's have very similar boards so you should find one from a board which has near specs as your tv. If everything above fails , you can get CRT replacement boards for around 15-20 dollars ( they come without a RF port so you will need to buy an RF modulator alongside it ) and you can replace the original motherboards with those. If your crt has a thin neck , you need to buy a replacement thin neck board alongside which costs 1-2 dollars and replace it with the fat neck one on your replacement board. I'm definately sure you can make the CRT work again and hope you the best!!

This was actually really interesting, I'm glad you were able to make a video out of these projects, even if they were fails. I like how you didn't instantly say what went wrong. I was literally making up theories on what could've happened as the video was going, which kept this really interesting and fun to watch. :)

3:53 If you hadn't broken the thing, here are some tips. The transformer may have gone bad but thats unlikely. There probably is a dead mosfet that is driving the transformer, and that dead mosfet looks to be the one on the bottom of the screen. But if the mosfet is fine then the mosfet driver is likely bad and not sending a voltage to the mosfet gate, but if that too is fine then the mosfet driver power supply is likely bad. BUT before all this, you should check if the vertical deflection chip is even operational. If VCC and GND is shorted in the chip, then the supply voltage will drop to like 0.1 to 0.5 volts. Or there are just some bad solder joints. BUT also the transformer probably isn't broken. The mosfet not designed to deal with a huge spike in current may have died and some kind of over current protection on the main PSU might of happened not letting the television turn on.

the rgb wall is fire tho

Really appreciate seeing the failures. Love your videos, and I myself run into so many of this sidetracks and obstacles in my own projects.

Its great to see someone talk about screw ups in repair. Its comforting. I remember pulling a working dell inspiron gaming computer from the trash that was my ticket to cheap gaming. After extracting it and having it still work, I screwed up at the last moment by plugging in the wrong laptop display to eDP port, apparently stopping it from booting again, rendering it a lost cause even after waiting for capacitors to discharge

i want to say i just absolutely. LOVE. all of your content. i have literally watched like, all of your tech videos. something about the way you talk and present stuff makes my brain so happy. it's SO cool that you even decided to make a video about failed stuff! it's all so interesting! and i am beyond happy that you include subtitles on your videos! they help me so much!

and you managed to turn all your failures into a success. this is a brilliant video that shows the wins/losses of repairs and some of the sometimes mundane stories that pop up along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

No project is a failure if you learned something from it! Enjoying your vids, which I've just discovered tonight. Very entertaining and the subject matter is right up my alley. Also, your Aussie sense of humor reminds me of Code Bullet, whose work I also enjoy a great deal!

This really makes me appreciate just how dedicated you are to repairing things, especially with that iMac at the end! The new studio is looking awesome by the way, I look forward to seeing what exciting stuff you get up to :D

Thanks for this great video! Everyone loves to show off their best accomplishments, but it's often just as interesting to see things that didn't work out. You really get to see someone's problem-solving skills and creativity through such a process. Looking forward to more of your video! (studio tour when?!)

This is really cool, its awesome you paid homage to these wonderful ideas that wouldve never been shown!

man seeing the notification that you uploaded a new video put a smile on my face

What I'm giving you MAJOR respect for is the fact that you credit the module musicians of the music you're using in the background. As a member of the scene, it's nice to get credit for our stuff when people use it, so thanks. Great video.

It is so weird, but Matt is one of the few KZreadrs i watch the videos over and over again. My favorite is the Lego Music one and QR-Code ^^

I think it's great that you feel comfortable with sharing your past mistakes with us. It's interesting to see what goes down when things aren't to plan, as well as a helpful reminder that we're all just human at the end of the day. Nice one Matt, much love and support from the UK.

Exactly, having failures is a good thing. You can't be like The Verge and try to pass off mistakes as the truth.

Dude I’m so hyped to watch this, great content you make!

I've been rewatching your old vids over the last week or so! missed your content mate ❤️

revisiting that imac project would be so sick, i love that early 2000s design

Great content Matt , watched all of your channels videos in one day. Especially the repair and coding stuff.

man I love your video style and everything else man... Time to watch all your vids and make sure i see the nerdyness slowly rise lol. loved the vid keep em coming man.

Hell yeah new mattKC video

mate that iMac's bezel falling apart was hilarious

You managed to make a fascinating video out of these failed videos. Great job! Thank you for another entertaining video.

I remember when we had an old CRT TV. I had the basement as my bedroom at the time so I couldn't hear much, but I heard a really big bang and my mother yelling "OH SHIT." I came upstairs and smoke filled the front room. Turned out something had exploded and the TV worked no more. Was a great time.

After having done a number of repairs that didn't end as expected, it shows honesty and authenticity when you show the good, bad and the ugly. And yeah, that black bezel in pieces that was too short was ugly.

I expected this to start with the MVG song

I forgot your channel existed for about 5 months now I get to binge your videos again😁

Love the videos. You're extremely creative/talented but you keep it humble.

this is probably my favourite of the roughly 6 videos i've seen so far on your channel

Your videos are really relateable as i bought a non-functional keyboard 2008 pre-unibody Macbook Pro for around $95. I also bought a replacement keyboard for $20 and attempted to make the replacement according to ifixit guide. I ended up finshing the replacement but i broke the aluminum pins holding the keyboard top case in place and the brightness and backlight stopped working completely. :(

I already like the new studio. Good luck for the future

Love the content Matt!

These were so cool when they came out. I was in middle school in the late 90s I can barely remember them in high school in the 2000’s

What I always take from your videos is that I should listen more often to the chiptune mix playlists.

Damn, that 2009 iMac hit me hard. I still have haunting memories to this day of how annoying working on that computer was

That's weird, I used to have a CRT I bought at a thrift store for the sole purpose of using it for my NES. It too was made by Mitsubishi and although it had a very bright and clear image for a while, I turned it on one day to see that it had the same vertical line problem. Maybe an issue with the hardware in Mitsubishi TVs from that time?

I also always loved the old iMac G3 computers, I'm actually trying to fully refurbish mine :) My original bezel shattered just like yours, in almost identical places lol

I remember my first failure. It was of course a customers xbox 360 I added an extra fan, except the screws I used to secure it were too long, and they touched the board and bridged something. Pop, bang, and smoke when I plugged in the power. Yay. Thankfully I had tons of spare xboxes lol

Can’t wait to see ur next content, matt

As you pan over the board saying "no cap was obviously leaking" I think I saw a brown cap with a blown lid? Right in the middle of the board. Might just be an angle on a different part tho. It's just south of the transformer you were looking at just after, and for old TV parts, try joining up at WES as they have lots of old parts for stuffs to repair. (including the laser for a ps1 and ps2 slim at least) For logic board stuff, easiest to inject 1v1a from a bench supply at certain points and then check for the hot components with a thermal camera.

Nice video(s) I have been waiting for a video from u for a long time haha lol

Matt jokes about how a company that developed Shrek for the original Xbox made transformers for crts, TDK is an electronics manufacturer that even sold cassette tapes and had a subsidiary for game development that went defunct.

As a kid we used our old G3 as a Myst machine! Its great to play on the old flickery CRT

it's like a mattkc video but with even more random things in them! it's like christmas!

Your channel has grown alot since the last time I saw you

4:40 holy shit something similar happened to me, i was trying to repair a monitor and it had a large capacitor on the power supply, which obviously I shorted everytime to not kill myself. While doing some testing i did the some stupid thing, i pressed the power button of the monitor to turn it off, and shorted the cap, but I didn't realize that the power button only cuts the power from the main PCB, not the power supply, so, the next thing i saw was a huge spark, i shorted 220v AC, since the cap just after the power cable. No need to say, i couldn't repair the monitor

Woohoo the best outro in all of KZread has returned!

Damn. Matt recognized the existence of a bad Romanian car company. Well done, Matt! Love from Romania

Failures are the best, 2 days ago I failed fantastically, putting in an IPS screen for my gameboy color, I got everything in and it was working great except the touch sensor, I opened it back up and saw that the ribbon cable for the sensor had snapped. I desoldered the snapped end and when I did that I ended up lifting the solder pad, after searching around I found out that I could fashion a new touch sensor just using some kynar and copper tape and solder it on to a different part of the circuitry. My next course of action was to attempt this fix, as I was testing it before closing the shell up it was a success, but then due to butterfingers I dropped the new touch sensor onto the GBC motherboard and it immediately turned off and now will not turn back on.
