VHS Player Works After Head Cleaning But Then Loses Picture
มุมมอง 60211 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video I show one of the most likely causes of a VCR that works fine after cleaning the head put then loses the picture after playing a few tapes. This is often caused by the rubber on the automatic head cleaner breaking down over time. This can cause the cleaner to rub dirt on the newly cleaned heads.

I just did both of those replacements. My PS2 will still only read the Blue back games.
How long wld it take for the screen to fullly lift from the rest of the phone
@@protocol3419 took mine like 4 days to a week
I have no idea, I only noticed the screen was starting to lift because I took it out of it's cover. I wouldn't like to let it fully lift as I would be afraid the ribbon cable would get damaged.
That laser assembly is missing lithium grease on the laser guide rails. Also it needs some on the little plastic gears. It will wear down without over time.
I did put some grease on the laser assembly, I do on nearly ever console if I'm doing a repair. I just didn't show it in the video.
Was watching a horror movie and it started felling off... Damnn I was half DED
That’s true😊
I'm still young and I accidently dropped my phone in my bucket in my bathroom I tried force restarting it.... I wanted to do rice but I don't know if its good I have no silica gel either! But... It won't turn on this vivo 1807 is my ONLY good phone I'm scared
You probably should have tried to try it out before restarting it, the best thing to do now is try dry it out as best you can before trying to restarting it again.
Mines the hardest I got a tiny magnet stuck
Exact same thing is happening to my phone
Is it possible to do a bottom screen replacement?
The bottom screen is a much easier repair than the top screen. You don't have the same issues of parts being glued together like you do when doing the top.
Does gorilla glue work? Bc i have school in the morning and thats the only type of glue i have on hand now 😭😭
Did you use the gorilla glue after, it should just work but it's not really the right glue for this.
@@EasyConsoleFixes I ended up not using it bc I wasn't sure if it would work or not, and because I fell asleep
heyy did you tho and what happened
@@shweetaa didn't put it on yet, I'll try later today tho
@@bucket_animates0 okk pleaseeeeee update it i really need a solution to my phone n i really cant get another one
does this work with ipad
i don't think my parents are gonna help me with this (buying that glue) because i just told them about it just a bit ago and they said to just put some tape so..
@@IEatAtomicBombs2763 Tape will work as a temporary fix but you need to be careful as if the screen falls out it might damage the ribbon cable that goes to the screen.
What about the sensor, is it safe to put the glue on it?
I wouldn't put glue on any sensor, you just want a thin bead around the very edge, I made sure to stay away from the camera at the top as well.
Hi. Bought a faulty ps2 on ebay with graphical glitches. Successfully restored the image only to pinch the fan wires during reassembling. The ps5 fuse seems to be dead. Can i just bridge the connection instead of searching and waiting on a spare fuse? Thanks.
You can bridge the connection and it will work, it does mean next time something goes wrong you wont have the protection of the fuse. What was the cause of your graphical glitches, it's not something I see very much on these consoles.
@@EasyConsoleFixes thanks for the reply. :) There's a series of chips between the GPU and the CPU (4 in a line on side A) one of them had no continuity so I soldered it over with some 30awg wire. Seemed to have fixed the problem. Tested it extensively before deciding to reassemble. As I did I felt a screw wasn't screwing in as it should and damaged/pinched one of the fan wires. I think that's how the fuse died. Still works without the fan. I hope my explanation makes sense. :/
The metal tab that goes up and down the worm is slightly off on mine and it causes problems when it moves. I've tried to line up the white tab with the bar but it seems I'm unable to do that. I might also need to do this with the cable as well.
That metal tab sometimes needs to be bent a little if its causing problems.
@@EasyConsoleFixes I'll keep that in mind. It seems like it works fine but it moves off the worm
my hero 😍(it worked)
Would you believe that when I saw my phone case didn't fit right anymore, I assumed it was the case getting warped somehow? It's made of rubber. How would that happen? But so I assumed, ordered a new one. Took the old one off, never even looked hard at the phone itself, which has been in the case for ages. Put the new one on. Huh. Still not fitting right. Did the new one come warped? Pressed down, ah there ya go, fits fine now. I look at it later--damn, it's off again! Now I notice the back of the phone is coming loose from the screen. Well, who knew that was a thing? I'd just temporarily reattached it, since there's still glue, just not strong enough anymore. I bought a new case for absolutely no reason at all. Which will almost certainly not work with any phone I buy in future. Wonderful. I really should get a new phone. God, I hate getting a new phone. It's not the money. It's the transition. So many things you have to do before you've got it the way you want. Well. Maybe I'll try this hack. See how it works. My phone is a 2021 Moto G. Which I got in 2022. It's almost brand new! Works great! Most of the time. Anyway. Thanks for the tips.
Just cause you mention the case not fitting, make sure the battery hasn't started to swell pushing the back of the phone away. The battery would then be dangerous to charge. I absolutely agree with you about the transition to a new phone, it's such a pain. I once left a new phone sit in the box for 2 weeks cause I just didn't want to sort everything onto it.
@@EasyConsoleFixes I think that's what happened, yeah. Never had this with any other phone, but honestly, haven't had that many smartphones, and this one lasted a good long while. I hang onto them until something goes fatally wrong, and this qualifies. I'll go get a new one today. Dammit. Thanks for the advice.
How do I go about this when the New 2DS XL has a katsukeity capture card in it?
I never installed one so I'm not sure but my understanding was they are soldered to the main board in the bottom half of the console. Changing the top screen would be the same as the video but you would have some extra connecters in the bottom half to undo.
@@EasyConsoleFixes I see. I definitely will feel I need to have an expert do it, at this point, cause last time I tried repairing something, I needed a new DualShock4. Thank you for telling me, though.
@@ThisIsCSDX This is a tricky repair and I know the consoles with the capture cards aren't cheap. It might be best to pay someone to do it if you're not confident.
@@EasyConsoleFixes Noted. Here's hoping I can find one. Mind you, the capture card feed shows up fine on my PC, but at the same time there are some games that'll require looking at both screens quickly and it's very disorienting trying to look at the screen on my PC and then the touch screen that's further from it than the top screen is. Thank you again, regardless of all that.
bro its glitching am i cooked
Yeah unfortunately if it's glitching it sounds like the ribbon cable to the screen is either damaged or has become loose.
If u would have show to put the antenna back on would’ve been nice
I'm not sure what antenna you mean, can you give me the time in the video of what you are looking at.
TYYYY, I accidentally tried to test what if you put two stickers on a CD and put it into a console...
Thank you!!! My 3 year old shoved FOUR ps2 game discs into my ps4 😭 but your video saved me!
Kids can't seem to help themselves, they are just drawn to put stuff inside PS4's
I guess you could fill the hole with epoxy. Let it dry then drill
Can you do one for the pro version?
Thank you very much. I replaced mine and it works amazing.
Glad the video was able to help, it's great to keep these old consoles running.
@@EasyConsoleFixes onimusha 1-4 never felt so good.
Mine dosent look like that 😮
I have a PS2 slim and I would like to know what are the signs of the console dying .
Usually the first sign of a laser dying is it will have trouble reading or completely stop playing the blue backed discs.
Thanx mate. Great video.
Thanks for the tips,i was about to put a black tape on my phone
Thank you so much for a straightforward and informative video. I am so pleased that your tip has helped so many people, unfortunately my machine seems far too temperamental. I followed your steps - several times - and I also found another video that suggested taking out a little roller in the contacts compartment. I was giving it one last chance and it worked! Hooray! only to send up the message again after printing two sheets. My waste box is only just over a year old and there was hardly any waste toner in it being a home printer. So frustrating! Many thanks for your sharing though, anyway.
That is a shame, I wonder what is causing it not to work. I have had to do this twice more to the same Toner Box as it got full again and it has worked each time. Some people in the comments have said they needed to turn the printer off after resetting the box to get the message to go away.
Very kind of you to reply. I have been a witching on and off between each try with crossed fingers! I am going to look up how to reset printer. Hopefully find another TH-camr to show me. 😊
This seems dangerous to me as fragments of the braid could enter the console and cause damage to electrical components?
That cant really happen as the braid is inside the plastic post the screw goes into and has no entry way into the rest of the console. I do have another video showing how to use a thin cable tie instead of the braid if the braid coming into contact with components is a concern.
Excellent video. Very clear and concise
i was just about to play roblox but when i was about to lay down the screen suddenly fell of i thought it was my Temperglass 💀
Thank you so much. Saved my life and maybe my job today it worked!
Glad the video was able to help you out.
Lol I must be dealing with something else. This thing just doesn't want to open anymore!
Why does someone lieing YOURAS SPINNING!!!
Hi there! Thanks for the great video, but I can't seem to find the part online that you put inside the hinge at 22:28. sorry that I'm so late to this, but if you could help it would be greatly appreciated!
If you search for 2DS XL hinge you should find it. Sometimes adding barrel hinge or shaft hinge helps. I haven't used this place but its an example of what you need. You also see them on eBay, Aliexpress etc kasynparts.com/product/nintendo-new-2ds-xl-shaft-hinge-axle-ring-replacement/
@@EasyConsoleFixes Thanks for the help!
i dropped my phone. the screen came off and it bent a little am i screwed or is there a problem to fix this because i tried your video and it didnt work
What didn't work. Do you mean the screen doesn't work or that the screen was too bent for the glue to stick.
If i take ot to a repair main how much would it cost to glue it back together?
I don't know how much a repair shop would charge but it shouldn't be expensive as its an easy repair.
Me too bro 😪 🤧 😢 😞 😔 😕 😪 🤧 😢 😞 😔 😕 😪 🤧 😢 😞 😔 😕 😪 🤧 😢
welp this happened to me, my niece always throwing my phone when i going on the bathroom or something
hey man, using this technique i was able to finally play the xbox 360 that my dad left behind, he died back in 2015 and i had nearly nothing to remember him by but this is the technique i used to finally go back through his old games and connect with his friends. Thank you
Glad the video was some help and you were able to get the console working.
Thanks for the video, I've seen online that a bulging battery can cause this and that it is dangerous to keep using the phone if it is a bulging battery, specifically huawei phones. Have you had any issues with it?
Hi, yes this issue can sometimes be caused by bulging batteries. In that case the battery needs to be replaced. Charging a battery that is bulging can result in a fire.
I was wondering if you could help me with something. I replaced an analog module in my ps2 controller with a new one i got on ebay, but for some reason when i move the stick in any direction and let go the game character starts to drift slightly in the opposite direction e.g. i move forward then let go the character is moving backwards or if i go left then it starts drifting right. I found that moving in the direction of the drift seems to fix this but if i restart the console or unplug the controller and plug it back in the issue starts up again. Any idea of what could be causing it?
I have a video about fixing PS5 controller stick drift. If you watch that video you can see me clean the little metal rings that the stick unit uses to sense which direction the stick is going. Your issue could be caused by that little metal ring being positioned a little wrong inside the stick unit.
I was going to re-watch the video that shows how to take it apart and accidentally watched this one. I'm glad I did. Thanks.
Glad the video was able to help. That's why I originally made the video, loads of guys are taking the console apart and there's no need.
Thank you for this video ... I have owned two Brothers printers but had never gotten the error "Replace Toner Waste Box". Of course it popped up late at night when I had a large print job that I needed to complete. I found your video, cleaned it out and reinstalled - the error message was gone. Good tips about the gloves and doing it outside, it was messy.
Glad the video was able to help. It's a shame Brother don't make an opening on the toner box, theres no reason the whole box should be replaced.
@@EasyConsoleFixes … I agree, when the error popped up I had never heard of a Toner Waste Box but I was sure it was not going to be free. I will say that mine was full, there was a lot of waste. I thought using an air can on it would be a good idea … not so much. The waste went every where, fortunately I was in my garage and holding it over a large trash can. I dumped it out and gave it a few shakes and put it back.
Hi, my PS2 Slim cd drive spins both ways, is there a fix for this problem? I'm looking for a new motor anyways, but I can't find which one it is, I don't see a type number like which on the laser is written as; PVR-802W. It could be the flexcable of the motor, but it's soldered on the board and that's why I have to look for a whole new motor
Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by the drive spins both ways. The slim uses a few different spindle motors. If you search for the model of console and spindle motor you should see the correct one. Some of the console models the spindle is really easy to change and in some it's difficult so it may be worth checking you have one of the easier ones.
Hello even when I cluck the trigger manually it doesn't spin
Are you getting any movement from the laser, after the console detects the lid has closed it will try read the disc. If it doesn't detect a disc it wont spin.
@@EasyConsoleFixes no, no movement :(
My phone bend and half screen pop up. I have no idea wht to do 😂
Is your phone screen still working, just a bit popped out. It should be an easy fix.
Can I use t7000 glue?
Yeah T7000 glue would be fine.
This worked! Thanks!
