The Original Xbox had a fatal flaw, eventually the clock capacitor will fail, leak, and potentially ruin the nearby components on your motherboard. We'll go through the steps to replace this component and save your system.

I picked up this copy of Mario's Picross 2 off of eBay, but the game isn't saving. The save battery inside the cartridge is very dead. We'll open up the game and replace the battery with replacements I purchased off of Amazon. The save batteries in these older cartridges are in some cases over 30 years old. After time, they just run out of juice and stop saving. I'll walk you through the proces...

After modding my Original DMG, I felt prepared to tackle the GameBoy Pocket. It was not as easy as I thought. On my third attempt to backlight the GameBoy Pocket, I hope this time will go much better. In this video, I'm going to backlight and bivert the GameBoy Pocket and throw it in a new shell. This was not an easy mod for me to do. The GameBoy Pocket is not as forgiving as the DMG and I'll s...

I had some GameBoys and games that needed some cleaning, so I decided to give the 1UPcards a chance. How do they stack up against my normal cleaning methods of using Q-Tips & alcohol? Are they worth the cost? I've seen these advertised on places like HandHeldLegend and Retromodding, and wanted to give them a quick test & review. I was impressed with the console cleaner, but not as much with the...

In this video, we are going to completely solve the game Lights Out using computer science, math, and a little bit of frustration. Released in 1995 by Tiger Electronics, Lights Out is a handheld electronic game all about using logic to turn of a series of lights. We're going to skip the logic of trying to solve a board, and map out the best possible solution for every single configuration of th...

In another lot of broken consoles, I picked up this Nintendo Wii. It is rejecting any disc inserted into it. I'll take you along my troubleshooting journey to try and figure out what's going on. This one is a bit of a head scratcher. We'll take apart this disk drive, inspect the mechanics closer to understand how it works, and fix everything...somehow?

In this video, we're going to completely disassemble this Nintendo Wii and give it a good clean on the inside. This Wii is covered in dust and scuff marks and is in general pretty dirty. I picked up this Wii in a lot of "broken" consoles. This Wii works just fine, but from what I can tell it was just not in a good enough state to sell. Let's fix that and clean it up.

Taking the Game Boy we cleaned in our last video, we're going to mod it into the Game Boy of my dreams. This is my first Game Boy mod, and I'll bring you along for all the steps and problems we'll run into. In this video, we'll install a backlight, bivert mod, audio amplifier, and rechargeable batter pack. Most of the mods in this video come from Handheld Legend at handheldlegend.com. This is n...

I had this Game Boy lying around with serious corrosion on the battery terminals. Let's see how bad it is, and if we can clean it back up.

I have a stack of lightly scratched PS2 games sitting around. I thought it was about time to try out some of the at home methods for getting them working again.

Using the Xbox we restored in our last video, we're going to install the Rocky5 Softmod package.

I picked up this original Xbox with a lot of broken consoles. This thing is incredibly filthy and the cooling fan is super loud. We're going to take it completely apart, give it a good clean, and make it run like new again. Music in this video: Brainmelt by Underbelly Summer Heat by Coyote Hearing Write You by Joey Pecoraro

I came across this broken copy of Castlevania for the N64. We're going to open it up, identify what's wrong with it, and get it working once again. Music: Good Job! by R.LUM.R.
