Hi, I'm Stacy. I'm a tinkerer at heart, and usually the first person people turn too when something is broken. I'm a qualified Motor Vehicle Mechanic and Auxiliary Electronics Installation Technician (Proper fancy way to say I can fit stereos and speakers, subs, amps, bluetooth kits, etc, into cars!).
I decided to film all these repairs, and start getting more into repairing/refurbishing retro gaming consoles and games, kind of mashing 2 of my hobbies together. So if that's your jam, stick around. I post videos once or twice a week, usually on Wednesday and Friday.
And thanks for checking me out.

I saw you checking the voltage of everything, expect the cable. Always check the cable first. I have a controller that's "dead", just found the cable is broken from the inside (the wires).
cleaning my keyboard with rubbing alcohol is what ruined my apple keyboard.
When cleaning with a toothbrush, I tore off a piece of the rubber part that I believe was the membrane. Can this be fixed or can I throw it away?
Ewwwwe, step-son-sock!
I’m glad I have my PS one control the mother board is wood so those never give up on you
Any chance you could fix mine?
❤bro nice love u 2 sweet
love this mod. would love to see a type c mod to this kinda hate micro usb its so old
Und that´s worth????
Open up a brand new PlayStation 2 while back I had saved for 5 years and unfortunately the console and the controller both don't work
I have two of these one works perfectly, except the number one key, I had to type it out as it doesn't work lol. The other just causes random things to happen when it is switched on, like typing by itself, closing apps and worst of all moving stuff to the recycle bin. This is the one I took apart it's possessed lol. Gave up trying to fix them and bought a coupe,e of used ones from eBay.
Great man! Thanks for making effort to film this. I have similar black one, and only cross bottom control works😅
Fairplay to you- that tracer separation had to be extremely irritating. Any idea how to reattach the down arrow? mine wont stay on.
¡Gracias por compartir!
okay, after watching this video, I just figured out that i'll just get a new keyboard hehehe
Great idea! I'm in a place where I have no access to any tools. I've been trying to come up with an idea like this without success....no microwave either, but I'll figure a way to heat it up. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE IDEA! 🤟🥳
What a cracking idea! Thank you for taking the time to post this. I will try it on my Galaxy S10. I'll probably a ready-made wheat-bag which we already have. I hope it works! 😀
Hi. Can I use popcorn instead of rice ?😂
I have been using a rice sock as a heating pad for sore muscles... This works for glass removal too?
My keyboard type 3 letters on pressing one key. Please inform where the problem is? Regards
So i typed in A1314 in search and saw all the lovely keyboards in your thumbnail and had to click it. Then I heard some lakey inspired track I dropped and the icing on the cake is you properly credited the artist. This video made my night! I just frankensteined two of my A1314's together to get this one im using to work again I've had it since like 2008 or 2009. Great key travel compared to all the new stuff out. Thank you for crediting!
Mine has a missing pin, I’m gunna need to buy another one
I tried opening up my PS2 controller to clean it and when I started to put it together the joysticks won't be in the middle they will tilt to the right
come on these are super cheap and not a real rework station if you have a look inside its prob about £10 tech I have one of the same models but I know not to push that bad boy because it will just melt buy a good 2nd had one will cost more than this bit of crap but will last forever if you treat it right buddy ps look for older model likes like 90s version you will find that they are well made not like the 862d+
Amazing Job Man! I was planning to try to figure it out why the Enter and Backspace key are not working but there is not way to deal with this if you are a regular person. Thanks again!
Hi Stacey do you repair privately I have problems with firestick tried every thing just have a blank screen thanks kevin
Thanks, it worked perfectly! I used an old wool sock and an oven since I don't have a MW, I set the oven at 120 C and turned it off as soon as it reached temperature. I had two food termoemters so I used them to measure the temperature inside the oven and inside the sock (I took out the sock when the core reached 70 C while the oven was 100 C). Please be cautious if you use the oven without thermometers since many times the real temperature is very different than the one set (in my case the real T is way higher). Having a bowl of water near could be a good idea, just in case :)
Why rice. How about rocksalt
I have a ps2 controller that every button works except for the dpad up and left, the response does not apply to the console what so ever, is there a possible fix for this?
Did you get finally a reply? Same Yihua brand different models, similar issue, cannot measure the temperature (always "000") & leads to over heating.....mine rather new (6 mths) & used only maybe 5-6 times :(
you need to change PCB Ribbon Circuit Board SA1Q43A, that almost always works
Thanks for the help!
so basically you have no idea how to fix controllers...... gotcha
My controller doesn't turn on... the light doesn't turn on and the buttons do nothing
Thanks
At 28 minutes in my apple A1314 is in the bin im not even going to attempt to fix the damn thing
Why not just use a hot water bottle? If it's dry and not leaking?
You are a genius! Just tried it and successfully replaced the battery!
Something is missing in this video and it is the homemade iopnener test
Fusion 360 is now way too expensive for anyone not in an educational environment to use. Don't bother locking yourself into it unless you intend to stay in the field of product design or manufacturing.
Bro 1itam give me?

"I'm gonna get rice _absolutely everywhere_."
These break so easily, it’s like you shouldn’t take it out of your tv once it’s in.
Hi, i have the same unit as you do. But the brand name my unit has is Zeny. I need a replacement soldering iron. Do you know where i can find one. Hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks in advance
Thanks for your video, it save my time. Will just buy another brand to replace my damaged apple keyboard.
Thanks for the video mate I'm trying to make one for myself. Since I don't have rice and I replaced it with nuts, I put it in microwave and set it to 10sec, it does heat up. But then I do another 10sec, socks is flashing, sparkling inside the microwave, I quickly pull the plug, STSOFM I wonder if that's the socks or the nuts causing fire. I look up on Internet, some reddits said the tried to put clothes in microwave and caught on fire, almost burn down the house. (1) May I ask what material was your socks made of? (2) Is rice better doing the job?
You give me hope I can fix my power! I'll update when I get done trying to fix it!
This video is a total waste of time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that board. In fact there is almost never anything wrong with the board on DualShock 2 controllers. It's always the thin conductive circuit board that's absolute trash and needs to be replaced. Buy a new one or transfer it from a working controller and you're done.
The missing pin is normal. Here's your answer kzread.info/dash/bejne/qYSZksqmlba8Zs4.html&ab_channel=RestartRepairs
