    had a customer come in in about 2008 with one of these and unfortunately the motherboard had failed and was un-repairable(capacitor exploded and blew some of the circuit board apart) the kid was devastated that it wouldn't be worth repairing and they left.. my employees and I talked about it a bit after they left and figured we could install an all in one VIA chipset in here which would be about 5x faster than the original(couldn't source the correct sized motherboard) so we did and called up the dad a week later they where so ecstatic, we knew the dad wasn't to well off so we didn't charge them anything for it about 7 yrs later the kid came in and thanked us as it was the most memorable thing to ever happen in her life... I know that was long but thought id share.. funny how easy it would be to "upgrade" one of these now makes me realize how small things have gotten.

    I remember back when I worked for Patriot Computers in Vaughan Ontario Canada. We had so many support calls for these Barbie and Hot Wheels computers it was not funny we spent countless hours on the phone talking to people that had no clue what they purchased. I remember how some customers tried to change the video adapter on them by placing a video card in the computer and we had to tell them that they are S.O.L ,they cannot change the video. Then one evening when most of us went on lunch/dinner break and we got back we had been told sorry but we are only allowed to grab our personal items and our last pay will be sent via snail mail up to and including current day. The fun days sorry for the reminiscing but this brought back memories from when I first got into the computer industry. 😃🤓

    Michael Martin wasn't an overheating problem, and that was actually quite a common thing to do in the early days of the personal computer. Most, if not all, of the chips on those early machines are socketed instead of soldered in place. Over time, they work loose and lose contact with the socket. Dropping the machine from a few inches will cause the chips to reseat in their sockets, and the computer will work again. Apple was the only one that made that an official troubleshooting step, which is why it's always referenced. It wasn't a Mac, either, it was some variety of Apple II.

    Oh it's a thing. People bake their Xbox360 boards quite often, the ones with Red Ring of Death, the early model. Though there, the issue is a bit more complicated and the fix is only very temporary. On components made before 2005, the solder contains lead and becomes quite flexible when heated and can heal itself pretty well, but then they outlawed lead in the EU. The affected components are for example the large ICs on the mainboard which are connected to the board by the tiny little balls of solder, hundreds of them, and when they heat up and cool down, the chips themselves expand and contract, and thus can break the tiny solder balls eventually, but you heat it up close to melting point, and they can heal back up. On post 2006, the unleaded solder is really hard and will likely cause the internal layers of the chip to break instead, and the heat probably just warps these internal layers into temporary alignment instead, as it's not hot enough to soften the new solder ball formulation at all.

    the infamous G3 white iBook from Apple had the exact same problem - they attached the graphics chip to the mother board using the solder ball method, and it got so hot inside its casing the graphics chip would lift, shutting the computer down. Some people would wedge pennies wrapped in electrical tape between the case and chip to keep the chip in position. Apple did for while offered a repair program past warranty for that model, so that's a point in their favour. I got one of those turkeys from an eBay seller that died after just a couple of hours (don't worry, I got my money back after a dispute that eBay ruled in my favour, as they did show a working iBook in the product description). I later got the G4 version and that one is very reliable.

    That's the slav way of doing it, the proper way is with a tool that it's meant for this, which you apply heat only onto the video chip to melt (or almost melt) the metal balls it has on the contact with the board and re-adjust it tighter to it again. If the console or computer turns on, everything works fine but you don't see anything on the screen, %90 chance this is how to fix it.

    I was supposed to have that Barbie computer. My grandmother bought it for me (and it was a MAJOR purchase that she took out a credit card to be able to afford, I think it was over 1,000 dollars), but it never got delivered, we never figured out if it was sent to the wrong address, stolen, or what, and they refused to refund her. One of the biggest disappointments of my childhood because I was tech obsessed even as a kid but we couldn’t afford most of the ridiculous prices of the 90’s and early 2000’s. I’m upset that we seem to be trending back towards ridiculously high prices 20 years on.

    The real trick is the fact the case doesn't really support the modern outputs or graphic cards. The IO stuff most cases have is non existent on this case. Though with the massive advancements in computing, the internals will work with the case. Mini board and using a VME SSD will help with the space. But the real issue is that you can't really use any Nvidea or AMD GPU cards. Though the idea of those cases housing a modern gaming computer internals would be a fun concept. Though the exhaust fan is a must since air flow is also almost non existent with this case. At least to deal with the heat that newer CPU's and RAM chips will release in that confined space.

    Wtf, Funhaus snapped a Monsters inc bowling for dreams disc and then watched a LGR video. Then I watch LGR's newest video and he pulls a monsters inc bowling for screams disc out of the PC.

    these PCs fully workinng in their original hardware and specifications have gotten quite valuable in recent years due to their rarity, theme, nostalgia factor, place in popular culture, and overall weirdness.

    based on my experiences with ME and VISTA I'd say that ME is MUCH WORSE! at least with service pack updates vista became stable enough to actually use but ME was always just a very badly broken mess

    Wow does that bring back memories lol. I bought 40 barbie PCs to resell and almost half wouldn't boot because the cmos batteries were dead. I remember all the same frustrations of working on those but I never put a motherboard in the oven. Thanks for the video!
