At 13:02, you have connected the screen while the battery was connected and probably the device had booted already. The screen might have skipped any initialization commands from the chipset during boot, so the screen was appearing not to turn on. However, the second time you seated the screen you did disconnect the battery first and then connected the screen which returned things normal.

I absolutely love this explosion of retro handheld devices we've had in the last few years. It's so competitive at this point that you can get extemeley well built devices at almost any price point.

Except for the charge ports, they may not be extremely well built. Sure, it is possible that the previous owner tried to cram an entire Muppet into their pocket along with the handheld, and the Muppet tried to f**k the charging port, but if your USB C port breaks in 4 months, you're doing something wrong, or it's not an extremely well built handheld. Besides the buttons, the charging port should be the beefiest part of a handheld and it shouldn't break easily. There isn't even the possible excuse of plugging it in upside down.

@@Boogie_the_cat Have you ever gotten your hands on an Anbernic aluminum, Miyoo, or Powkiddy handheld? That's only naming a few and they are all excellent. They are all extremely well built. I have no idea where you are getting the idea that the charging port is the only thing that is well built. Do you also think the same about the Steam Deck, Asus Ally, and new Odin? You should really do some research before spouting off incorrect information.

I always 3d print small flexible covers that snap into those power points. It save all the crap and damage in the port.

10/10 for the t-shirt. When you know, you know...let's hit it hard and fast, and I mean fast with a leaflet campaign.

I thought thats what it was HAHA. Chameleonic life forms? No thanks!

Yes, I was pointing at the screen for the opaque bit of plastic which would diffuse the charging LED when it's put back over the port 😅

Instant thumbs up for Red Dwarf!

Phew. I’m glad you stopped the fade. I don’t know how much louder I could have yelled at my screen to have you check if that LED was lit. Good fix. PS: Dave did a bang up job holding onto that D1.

It's great when you have the right component in a tub to fix something straight away. Well done on another fix.

I recently came across on Amazon USB-C silicon plugs with an adhesive strip to attach to the device. Maybe worthwhile to buy a few. This way you can have it in your pocket without worrying of other things like keys in the pocket stabbing and breaking the port again. Your soldering skills have much improved!

Ha! I yelled at the screen “but what about the LED?!” and it was like Steve heard me and interrupted his fade out. Excellent fix, fun rap today too!

Well done Steve, always a pleasure to see your combination of experience, humility and intuition work its magic.

Yay, I'm honestly ecstatic to see you are finally working on an Anbernic device. I haven't seen any reputable YT creators that have actually done a good job at even going over the device.

Love Red Dwarf 😂😂

I find this therapeutic. In the chaos of life fixing things brings it all together.

I just have to say, I love your videos and your overall charm. Keep up the great work!

i used to never skip your songs but since you've got a lot more supporters the songs are just a bunch of names in a row. no hate or anything, that's how it goes when you get more successful. love your videos and been a long time fan!

No way! I've been on the lookout for a broken RG Nano for the last couple months. Vicarious repair saves me some money and pain though; thank you.

Just found your channel. Working my way through your past posts. Nice videos 😎

Very well done, Steve!

Great fix looks great thanks

I have to say, I never knew they're so many different USB ports. Sad they didn't "Standardize" them... Thumbs Up!

@medes5597

That is standardisation. When that happens, you need various versions of the standard for different applications. If it wasn't standardised, then every variation that you see there would have a different connector. The fact there are so many usb c pin variations is actually what we want. The only "non standard" USB-C thats actually incompatible with the others is the PS5 controller. Otherwise you could technically bodge any of them in should you desire.

Hey Steve, totally loving these videos! Recently i cant stop watching them and wanted to start to fix some weird things myself. Are there any videos/instructions that you would recommend on getting started? I have no idea about electronics but i‘m eager to learn =) Thanks for the entertaining and actually also educational videos!

The Onyx Sticky Fingaz line will go over most people's heads haha! Great reference 😂

Steve can you do a video of the usb c /hdmi kits u have and the capacitors/filers fuses kits you recommend for bigginners I enjoy fixing my own stuff. Got myself a digital microscope for 70 quid edm9 pro hdmi. Your channel has me wanting to fix more I have a pile of things to fix lol thanks keep up the good work

Well done Steve!

It’s always good to illuminate your ring. Great music by the way, looking forward to the album.

I recently picked up the bigger brother to this, this RG35XX and it's amazing with custom firmware. I'm sure there is some for this as well. Well done!

I love your videos bro!! Informative and funny as hell!! Got my sub bro!!

yay, another video!! Thankyou Dave and Steve 😊

Love the content!

Well done bodge, and thanks for transporting me back to 80s music.

Love this channel as i like fixing things too.

Best repair channel on KZread. Hoping i can learn enough about how these machines work from this channel to figure out how to fix my n64!

As always another fine production 😁

Excellent work as always Steve!! 🐺😁

Nice, I have a RG353V and it’s awesome, well built and solid!

thanks for an idea

As always, very nice job. I love all the things one can learn from your videos. I am still waiting for the Steve music covers channel by the way.

I am not skipping. I'm love it

Steve. LED. Light emitting... Diode.

I just burst out laughing in my office at that first "solid". Luckily I was alone.

Probably one of the best song/raps you’ve done.

I just gone one of these. Mine was dead in arrival due to the memory card being fake. Once i replaced it it has become my favorite little handheld. Im playing Pokemon trading card game 2 on mine as i type this.

These last few beats to your raps have been 🔥 🔥 🔥

Good videos always interesting and fun. One question what is the amp meter and where did you get it it looks useful

Great beat

Two things from me: first is that I love my RG Nano! I really didn’t think I would, but it’s been great for one-handed Pokémon on the commute. Secondly, that’s by far the dankest, stickiest rhyme so far. Great job.

Now this is a good beat!!!

A result for you Steve,the seller probably could have got that repaired under warranty but maybe the destruction of the usb port might have invalidated that!

love the melted plastic sign :D

killing it with the music today

Where did your love of hiphop come from? I always thought it was just a gag or whatever but you're out here name dropping Sticky Fingaz from Onyx. Real one.

Thanks for the entertaining vids, as ever. Your Microphone needs an earth connection mate, on my TV and amplifier the 50Hz hum was vibrating my under-carriage.

Love the shirt!!!

Love the background music in the beginning, sounds like some Tool music

Remind me never to watch your videos while eating nacho dip and tortillas, that dirty port put me right off, lol 😆 😅😂. Another solid video x ❤

I have one of those and for some reason I just call it Amberdick. Great video :)

Love it, you can play while unlocking doors.

Oh man, shout out on a shirt! That's the ultimate!

Great video as always! Have to ask though, what is the name of the awesome tune playing around 7 minutes?;I would love to use that on one of my videos 👍
