      Those are old consoles. Might have been put up in the attic years ago, now the kids have long moved out and the parents don't think they're worth anything anymore, so they end up at the dump. I was actually surprised they were defective, a lot of fully working consoles end up in the trash that way.

      You should visit Germany, some neighborhoods toss out EVERYTHING and it's in perfect condition. Ever since Germany started selling awfully made tools and overall electronics for more then a decade the trashing became even more awful then before and it use to be a huge problem now it's a ocean of trash. They dont even sort or recycle anything most of it ends up as general trash.
      5% goes to recycling, 5% goes back to China the rest ends up in landfills ...

    that power port solder issue is extremely common on Model 2 Genesis, i was able to get multiple for $5 each several years ago and they all had that exact problem, my guess is the port isn't well braced by the shell so if the console is moved around or stored with the power cord left in it may crack the solder joint like you found.

      It was so fun to see this bc my sister has a gensis and I remember sticking an eraser under the power cord to prop it up to keep it powered because it just wouldn't stay on with the cord hanging down. So cool to see it's just a loose solder joint! I have 0 solder experience but this seems like an easy one so if she ever mentions it maybe I'll see if I can fix it. It's probably in a box somewhere rn tho.

    The VA2 is a pretty rare revision of the model 2 genesis. It was a pilot build for an alternate source ASIC from Toshiba, which is why it has the separate YM2612 (most Model 2s do not). A relatively small number of them were sold in a few regions of north america (seems like most ended up in eastern Canada) before they revised it to the VA2.3 which itself is not common either. The VA2.3 incorporates that clock fix that required all those mod wires and the mod board, but also completely changed the layout and it has much cleaner audio and video as a result. Unfortunately, most VA2.3s shipped with a defective ASIC that has broken shadow/highlight functionality.

    Great fix on the systems, Steve!
    I just fixed a couple Genesises recently, both with similar issues (one with cracked solder joints on the power connector, and another with cracked solder joints on the AV port). Seems to be a common fault after years of abuse and neglect of these systems. But an easy fix, and an opportunity to save another system from the landfill. Well done!

    First, congrats on remission, second every time you say at the end of your videos " let's see if I can fix it" I think we'll if you can't, no one can! 😊

    I gave my grandson a laptop that I had stored away after his died...He complained that it kept getting hot and finally took it apart to see what was going on, it turns out that the heat sink was completely filled with fuzz/lint, whatever floats through a house with cats...It took him almost an entire day to get it cleaned out...I thought it was a small price to pay for a free Alienware m17...

      Back in 2010 I bought a media laptop as at the time it was one of the few laptops that had an actual gpu in so I could play online games when travelling, it used to be around 60 degrees celcius idle on both cpu and gpu and kept shutting down even on 800x600 games of OG Counter Strike so rarely used it in the end, after about 4 years I found a cpu upgrade online and it was a socketed type of cpu and when I went to replace the cpu paste was basically a see through layer of what looked like toothpaste, and the gpu had none, that's right no paste on the gpu at all, I repasted them and the laptop went down to about 45 degrees idle for both and the laptop fans didn't go to full each time and I could have it on my lap without feeling like my legs were about to burn.

    Glad to see you're still making videos whilst fighting, Happy to hear you're doing well though - love your videos. In the UK, my local tip has since padlocked the e-waste bin and see so many consoles get thrown in there with no hope of being saved and repaired :( .

    Just out of curiosity, when you mention getting a bad shock from the PSU how bad is it really? What kinda voltage can they put out to hurt?
