Restoring a Sega Mega Drive Reactor - Restoration + Repair

In this video I'm going to repair and restore a Sega Mega Drive Reactor I got this from a car boot for £5 all I got was two controllers and the console I had to get the TV cable from ebay
When I first looked at the console there was a lot of corrosion with the battery still inside the console and was unsure what the in side was going to look like at first it look like someone has been in there with a glue gun but after finishing filming I think they might make them like this but not 100% sure with out looking another one

I didn't know about this obscure console, even though I live in Brazil, where TecToy launched several unimaginable consoles

[@techrestoread]

It was the first time I saw one, and for the price, l had to get it, but I'm not a big fan of it 🫤

[@pierreinthavong181]

Very good video!😁

[@techrestoread]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it! 😃

You can try to remove the scratches with liquid brasso. It works wonders on plastic.

[@techrestoread]

Nice one 👍 all l had was plastic refreshing, but that doesn't remove the scratches sadly, and thank you for watching and for your tips it's very much appreciated 😀

Big Clive has a good method for removing hot glue, just use isopropyl alcohol. It seems to wick between the glue and the material it's stuck to and makes it very easy to remove the glue. Might work with methylated spirits as well but I haven't tested it.

[@techrestoread]

Thank you. I will try it next time it was a bit of a nightmare 😃

[@sonicray100]

@@techrestoread No worries :).

If You see anything with "Atgames" logo... Run...
Same console has been sold under x+1 names with diffrent games on it. Not yet seen one that could be considered playable/working.. even as new, lol
Many of these also has sd card slot.

[@techrestoread]

Thanks for the heads up much appreciated 👍

[@stevenbenson9976]

You can flash some of them with an overclock to fix the issue. The problem is that they under clock then for some reason

Problems I have encountered with these:
1) Serious sound problems (distorted, missing notes etc)
2) IR controllers. Sometimes work, sometimes not. Using 2 same time is nearly impossible as IR cant register dual controller inputs very well.
3) Power and freeze issues thanks to chinesium build quality.
4) Poor video signal.

Wow ,that thing is almost hollow inside,they could have done it way smaller than its side.good job mate

[@techrestoread]

Thank you 😃

[@nothingtoseeherelolkek]

It’s just janky 3rd party remote controllers?

[@nothingtoseeherelolkek]

Or is it whole console on a chip?

[@techrestoread]

All the games must be on a chip. I didn't put any games on it

[@thepeternetwork]

Where's the game audio?

[@techrestoread]

There is sound just that the TV was on a low volume at the time 🫣 and didn't turn it up enough to pick it up when filming 🙄
