The white shell is great, slightly yellowed but a little retro bright won't hurt. Maybe next time, I might do a poll to let everyone decide which one they would prefer. 🙂
Great video and really glad you decided to share. In a past life, I used to do electronic board repairs and even though most things can be fixed, some fall into the category of U/S (unserviceable) and you move on. Keep up the fantastic work Jake :-)
Thanks Jamie for watching. I felt that this kind of video had to be shared, as I want all my videos to be honest as I can and at least some of chips on this board can be used on other Saturn projects in the future. 🙂Thank you for watching again Jamie, appreciate it.
Thank you Retro Video Game Dad for watching and exactly the parts that are still working can be used in other projects in the future, which is great. 🙂
Check the power supply, if your getting the right voltage. Saturn's have either 5 or 4 pins / one will be 12V, the other 5V and either two or one will be 3.3V.
@nicosauseador I would suggest t looking around the board and checking near the AV port. There will be a lot of 220V capacitors and a small Sony IC chip. Check if you're getting the correct readings. You will need to find the datasheet for that IC.
Highly useful video and good to see a video where you show the pain of not being successful as I know from personal not every repair is.
i would have preferred the white shell Saturn vs the stock black. it would have camouflaged the modern adapter piece more easily.

Brilliant vid! I feel your pain; sometimes repair work devolves into a "Ship of Theseus" dilemma and/or straight up diminishing returns :'(
Thank you appreciate you watching it. 🙂
Super informative dude, thanks a lot!

Great video! Sorry about the outcome, but at least you gain some spare parts 🤷

really cool vid! getting a saturn in an offer up deal for super cheap. if i run into any problems ill reference this
Great effort regardless of outcome 🥂
Thank you, appricate it. 🙂
i bet somebody got pissed off and gave the console a bashing before selling lol
Hello, i have saturn with no boot, only black screen, any ideas to test? the replacement of capacitors can works?
Check the power supply, if your getting the right voltage. Saturn's have either 5 or 4 pins / one will be 12V, the other 5V and either two or one will be 3.3V.
@@theretropal the power suppy is ok i get these voltage

It's possible to mod these boomer consoles with new modern parts?
Unfortunately no, maybe in the future via FPGA but currently there is no way to use modern parts on the Saturn.
You should do more camcorders!
It is something that I will be looking at in 2023. 🙂
povero saturn...considerata la botta..non gli e' andata cosi' male
