- Hi, here we a toy Gorilla that has been found in an attic and no longer works. He was sent in by Stuart from Infinite Bargains over on eBay www.ebay.co.uk/str/infiniteba... It was owned by his sister and he used to dance and sing.
Can he be revived?
Let's find out.

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Lovely fix! Batteries are the scourge of electronics. My kids had a toy piano that would go off in the middle of the night, usually 3AM, with the "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands ..." *very* loudly. One day, the toy disappeared - I have no idea where it went, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Cheers!
Hi Vince, just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you! We had a remote control that had stopped working and our first thought was to replace and reluctantly landfill it. But - I took inspiration (as I always do now from your vids) and disassembled it. Found corrosion on a terminal and loads of carbon powder on the board button contacts ( those ziggy zag things) so IPA'd it off and now it works perfectly again! Thanks, buddy :) Am depressingly short on cash as I would love to contribute but I do recommend your channel to everyone so hopefully that's a help
Excellent news, well done. No need to contribute, recommending me is more than enough👍👍👍👍
My God it's the mother in law.
Awesome. Amazingly impressive you took your time and patience to get it to work. Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job =D He's well endowed with batteries!
🤣🤣
Wow! Haven’t seen one of these since the 90s, looking forward to the end of the video to see if it triggers a nostalgia when it plays the tune (as of yet I can’t remember what it is) 🤣
"Feels funny, I'm gonna chop that finger off..." Ouch! lol !
Injured finger... But yellow mat? I thought the yellow mat was out the door? An intriguing twist, suspense!
The lime green mat strikes again.
Yeah and the worst part is that he works on a black object knowing that his exposure is horrible due to the bright yellow color. Sigh.
I like his little hat. Nice to see another tea break fix!
Hey! I noticed you used exactly Pi gallons of IPA. A nice round number. 😜
😎
Exactly pi?? I'm not sure you've thought that through 😂
Amazing job mate was a easy fix 👏
nice one vince great toy
π. When you said "chop the finger off" I thought woo that's commitment to the fix.
Great video like always
He is quite fun! Pity they didnt just also have a silent mode as the dancing is cute. My daughter was obsessed with a thomas the tank game when she was about 4 and played it constantly. The tune was playing the whole time the game was played. It was like torture .
Never had a Ginger Beer?!? What?!? Also ‘It’s got a nice little kick to the back of my throat’ is NoContextMyMateVince gold! 😂
I know, I haven't lived Kip!!!
I just unintentionally keep on giving with the no context 😂😂
11:34 Oh, I see that toy gorilla sings a copywrited song,and I like that song too, and I thought it danced,but only his head!
Great Job Vince. Shouldn't it have been a track by 'The Gorrilaz' lol
I love Tea break fix video. 👍
I remember the Atari game called Journey. It also had a soundtrack that drove me nuts after a while.
Ready for an update of that finger . Want to see how it looks now.
I'm so sorry couldn't stop laughing at the finger issue for give me
I remember seeing these in the late 90s, I saw one at a gas station and I had a tape recorder and I wanted to record him and the guy on the register thought I was stealing something. Never went back to that store again. Actually I think I went back once and that guy wasn't there.
The song is Macarena By Los Del Rio.
Sorry, might have missed out a bit, but how did you hurt your finger for it to take so long to heal, is it that serious? Either way, hope you get well soon, love your content, you do what you like and what you find interesting, not for the clout, clickbait and for it to be viral exploiting the algorithm. Yours is one of the few channels I actually watch and return to because of that, and the fact that I also like fixing things as a hobby, and the way you do it is basically the same as I would. Get better, thank you for always making my day whenever a video comes out, wish you all the best mate!
Thank you so much! Unfortunately I crushed/sliced it in a door. If you watch the Kingston Thumb Drives video I mention it on that and show the x ray etc. 👍👍👍👍
5:38 @Mymatevince Didn't you already try to do that! 🤣
Easy fix this one - just a bad switch. the copyright strike was a bit rich. You weren't to know the gorilla would play the song unit you turned it on. The copyright strike system needs to be updated to reject claims from a complainant if their works is already licensed (i.e. contained in a product where royalties have already been paid) that is included as part of a larger piece of content (e.g. your fix video's). I can understand me getting a strike for putting Wagners "Ride of the Valkaries" to my helicopter flight but not an accidental playback of Macarana fro a toy gorilla.
He earns money from this video, thus he earns money FROM the creator of the song no matter if he is still alive or not, it's sadly how it works. Money money money
Mail it back with the batteries in it and in the ON position so the postal workers get a laugh of the box singing.
Get yourself a bottle of Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer it is a lovely drink it’s 4%, makes a nice long drink ideal with a curry etc
Great video Vince nice repair
Gorilla autopsy. ...should be on discovery channel.
Great video btw 👍🇬🇧🙂
Mr. Gorilla - nice to meet you!
Funny Gorilla. I like it.
you were right about the thumbnail. 🙈🙉🙊
it worked on me!
For me, it would be a "sorry, can't fix it" 😁
Love it
Hello Mister Vince, I have a Fluke multimeter and the speaker is broken. Is it possible to send you to fix this for me?
I had this cheap trash in the 90's. Father mail ordered it. Then it had a white and red striped shirt and red hat. As advertised in the catalogue whenever you clapped, or produced a sound that sounded like clapping like a coin falling on floor, its head started moving and it started blasting the "Hey macarena" song. Back then the batteries sold were so weak they could barely feed the motor that move the head so I rarely saw it move. But the motor sound was obnoxious so it was actually better it didn't.
Nice one Vince. These copyright strikes are becoming rediculous. 😆
Ginger drinks date back millennia in China and India, but the first known brewed and fermented ginger beer was produced in Yorkshire - yes, England - in the mid-1700s. Nowadays unfermented non-alcoholic ginger ale is popular in North America (hence the big brand name, Canada Dry) but ginger beer is still sold.
Ginger beer and ginger ale are two different things though . Ginger ale is carbonated and used as a mixer in brandy ( don't ask ) and other alcoholic drinks but saying that the ginger beer sold in the U.K is also carbonated unlike the still one Vince has
I used to drink ginger beer as a kid in the 60s in UK it’s delicious, of course if I drink it now I get indigestion lol
I love this video I love gorillas
hahaha my mother bought me one of these when I was little, I miss this gorilla that sings macarena.
Had one way back in the 90's!
Reviving. Toys. Mr. Gorilla tea. Break. Fix
Love the videos. Please can you make one fixing an Instax camera with all LEDs flashing error? There's a lot out there with the problem and no one knows what's the issue. Thanks
LOL I always assumed ginger beer was EXCLUSIVELY a UK thing. Oh wait-that was butterbeer.
Reminds me of the end credits of one of the phoenix night’s episodes 😂
Haha love it and know the episode..... next!!
Let's hope it doesn't get taken down again lol 😂
I have this early 70s small table casio alarm clock. Try to fix forever singing 2 tunes when working one in the entertainer .
Now you know why this gorilla was bunged up in the attic in the first place.
Me thinks it could just end up back where it was found.
Maybe you will get it back again in another 30 odd years time when it is found again
🙉🙉🙉
😂😂👍
Look after your digits old chap. You'll miss them when they're gone ;)
I had a Sanyo mini tape player / memo recorder that had batteries like that
"I'm going to chop that finger off". No, no, don't do it! Have some patients it will heal. Interesting and entertaining as always. I hope that finger is on the mend, there's a Rolls that needs some attention.
haha, my reaction exactly
Vince do you have a link to that brush set, brass, nylon etc? Found similar on Amazon and Aliexpress but not that set.
When you said "I'm going to chop that finger off." well I thought....
Fixing in tendo DS next time
Hi Vince, you had any experience with a PS4 Pro Power supply? Mine has started making a crackling buzzing noise, but it plays otherwise normally. The unit twice in the last week has just conked out mid-game, then had to remove the cable and re-plug it in it, the blue light then lights up, then machine tries to load, then after 1 second then instantly conks out again. Then no other power at all (have to remove cable for 30 seconds)
After this, and after i gave it a fan blow with canned air, (thought it was the issue) it seems to work again, but a new noise, the PSU crackling noise is started recently. (The PS4 still works normally though i just wondered if it something that is cropped up before that you know of, The PS4 model is CUH-7126B
Yaa
Might I ask what is that brush set?
Hahah. That toy was created to be anjoying. :D
hey Vince.....If only you got a copyright strike on that dreaded yellow mat ! 😂🤣
Can you fix my Christmas dog it's sometimes works and then the song just stopped and it makes a weird screeching sound great for a video how would send it
I'm surprised you didn't use an electronic cleaner sprayed into the switch early on....
Direction
My Roku remotes the same way the batteries go in both the same
Ginger Beer has been with us in the UK as long as I was little and I am 58. I use to make it from scratch in my 20's. Nice vid by the way. 🤪👍
How do you make home made ginger beer , like to give that a try . I can not get it where i am and can not remember the main brand in the U.K
😂😂👍👍😂😂
@9:18 - Pie spy the joke mate.
Just needs a drum kit and different music installed
In south or east London you have to be careful saying if you have or haven't had a ginger beer before... jus' saying O.o
Another in a long line of poorly thought out children's toys. Great video though :)
😂
9os ma gogogo gorilla
🤣
Ok
Ginger beer is available around here. I do not care for it.
Do you, Nintendo DS
And the next part will be - modify Gorilla to sing 99.999,9 songs 😁😁😁
Excellent fix. The Gorilla is adorable but a bit annoying, maybe you could do something with the chip so it plays something else? Also the Ghostbusters shout out! I used to play it on the Atari 800 back in the day, along with Boulder Dash, Hover Bovver, Bruce Lee and Chuckie Egg!
the chip inside is likely a blob chip (bare dice wirebonded without package and with a blow of epoxy over it, to hide its secrets its dirt cheap) or atleast a otp part otp means one time programmable the meory works by blowing fuses in the die to make up the 1s or 0s of the data
MY EYES 👀
To be honest with you, that yellow mat makes black things very dark and it’s almost impossible to see what you’re working on with that bright yellow mat
Primate Vince.
You should sent it back but leave it on in the box......
I hat the same reaction with my Amazon remote, the batteries face the same way, definitely did a double take lol
Lok
I think that could be the twin of my ex wife🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Anyone for Pi?
first yay
Almost 😂
Pity youtube is such a jack to not to allow you to show us the toy dancing.
Just the thing im so bored
copyright strike Sorry to hear that That sucks They're making it now so you can pay Music people With add sense I don't want to try ...
Oh I hate these toys. They just play 30 seconds of a song when triggered and the sound quality of the chip is absolutely terrible. As a reference, CDs play at a frequency of 44100 hz. In contrast, this toy playes at 4000 hz.
It might not be copyright problem... it might be that youtube is just protecting viewers from that crappy song.
😂
'copyriiiight' lol Are you Sure it wasn't the *Racist* 'bit' of being a *Gorilla?* in US it would be.
_OIL CAN_ ... 'm,m,m,MY does that feel to Sing again', says Gorilla.
next, Change - Reprogram Chip, like you can do with Billy Bass. ??
