Good work. Fixing all those boards, consoles and systems. You ispired me to do some local fixing when people have trouble with their stuff. Corrosion and dust are the two biggest problems. :)
Well my take on it is, you do your job, I will do mine and we both are making this world a better place. Taking advantage of somebodies bad luck isn't really a good standing point but some are either too lazy or the repair process is too complex. Good that you're around :D
If you ever get a chance it would be really interesting to see a video on your desoldering technique. I know how it's done but it's one of those jobs I still find a real headache to undertake. Mainly the thru-hole stuff like carts slots, BIOS and ICs. I remember you did one a while back on removing surface mount RAMs using a piece of wire soldered to a cap. It's always cool to see the tricks and tips others use to make a job easier! :)
Luke I Take it you used a vacuum desoldering gun to remove that cart strip,good job there my man, and discharging that bad ass monitor one handed an all that, I am well impressed dude!, "one handed Luke" strikes again:) you have earned yourself a big of MMs after that bro
If people do want to have batteries on their boards to save data. A great idea is to use a battery holder like Luke said in the video or shrink wrap the battery and have wires coming out then use a blob of hot glue to glue it back to the board, somewhere there is nothing to worry about.
Great video as always Luke ;) I was wondering... I have some SNES cartridges over here that have batteries inside to keep the saves... do these batteries also start leaking over the years? Should I start replacing or at least taking them out to protect the games? Kind regards, a fan from Spain ;)
Hey Luke, I've been working on a MicroGenius famiclone project and taking out the CPU and PPU chips and had a HELL OF A TIME desoldering them. So what's the trick/equipment to doing it correctly? I was using a soldering iron and suction tube, what do you use?
What did u use to remove the cart slot I got a mvs 4 slow with some water damage near the connecter some of the pins the solder cam out with solder suckered but some are stub ern any advice

Awesome that this was something you could fix! I'm glad that you have this thing fully working.

Big smile seeing the old MVS 6 slot back in action:)
Thanks Luke! I appreciate the tip! I actually ended up tearing off one of the legs of the ppu, soldering that leg back on was a pain in the ass!
Nice job, saving a piece of electronic goodness yet again. Keep up the good work.

Cool you got that fixed, a heap of traces on that board for sure. Hopefully it won't get any more trace corrosion.
Nice vid Luke:)
Its always inspiering to see you mess around with all sorts of stuff.
Good work;)
Outstanding work as ever Luke
Great video! I'm always especially interested in Neo stuff, since I've just started getting into the hardware/software
Awesome info, congrats on the successful repair!
Great to see that thing working properly now
This is more like it, awesome work Luke.
5 too 6...thats awsome....way too trouble shoot Luke! Damn traces... ;)
Super clean work Bro!

Thanks for droppin' knowledge Luke.
Great job buddy & as always awesome vid.
You did not need to remove the slot to repair the trace, you could have simply jumped the trace from the slot to it location from under the board.
Congrats getting it to run luke it's on the gween !!
Nice job! Removing that slot must have taken you a while?
Nice work Luke!
Great job man! keep up the great work
I like your vids a lot keep up the good work!
Some great content right there. Am I right in thinking these do fail more than say single, double or quad slot NG Mobos?
Thanks,
AA
Great work Luke

you are awesome man!
i have a 4 slot pcb... and sometimes the audio is all messed up, and the image looks extra pixeled... looks weird.. what could it be.?? any idea?
Neo geo connectors looks like a nightmare to solder.
did you replace the battery the you removed?
Any retracing vids, got a 360 problem ?
fantastic man...

ahhhhh batterys and caps gotta hate them because they leak
Nice job, saving a piece of electronic goodness yet again. Keep up the good work.
