Dude... YT has not given me a notification in a while, damn them!... keep posting links on Twitter so I don't miss it, always love seeing what you're up to!
I have an issue with my controller board, I have replaced to fuse but its still not registering the controllers. The VMU beeps on power up. If anyone knows what this could be I would be eternally grateful.
Hey SegaHolic. I noticed that the controller when plugging it in feels wobbly so when i try using it, it doesn't work but if i hold up the plug at point where it is in the port it works. It's like it's loose inside the port and holding it up gives it the contact it needs to work. Any work around to this other than putting something under the controller port to keep it up so that it can make its contact?
You should spray some quick dry cleaner like this from Walmart www.walmart.com/ip/CRC-Electronic-Cleaner-Quick-Dry-for-Sensitive-Electronics-11-oz/16817418 If that don't work, try to see if it's the port on the DC or plug on the controller is the problem. Do a visual inspection of the port or plug. Sometimes, a pin that's supposed to stick out a bit is bent flat and needs to be reshaped.
was good segaholic jus saw this pop up in the feed i wonder if this problem happens with xbox as well .. i been working on 2 controllers and notice one has weak low signal left analog issues , while the other control has constant force applied to right trigger for no apparent reason
@@The_SegaHolic im wonderin if its the port or the control its very odd cause i noticed a new controller have the same issue as the second wheres theres constant imaginary force applied to the right trigger , yea i been subbed for months now lol
@@The_SegaHolic i did a cleanup and rechecked it it the controllers themselves now i have to figure out whats causing imaginary constant pressure to the right trigger and on the other weak signal / movement reading of left analog stick
Try bending the pin headers a little toward the front of the console. like a millimeter. If that doesn't work, I'm wondering now if it's the old battery that the system is trying to charge and it's pulling more amps... just a guess. Maybe just desolder the old battery and leave it off, and test if that resolves the issue.
Desoldering gun is from Circuit Specialists but discontinued. I suggest getting the Hakko from Amazon JP. www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B0795CPL8F/ which is about $180 shipped compared to $300 for the US version. Iron is a Hakko FX-600 JP version. But I suggest getting a T12 clone station.
BTW, those Yageo 0.47Ω are discontinued and nobody seems to make a small 1/4w low resistance fusible resistor no more. 😵
Love these types of simple repairs.
Yeah, I like to post stuff that common folk, like myself, can do. 😁🤙

Thanks Paul. 🙏 Will do. BTW, nice innovation on that GC shoulder buttons.
Nice repair job and a nice squeaky-clean Dreamcast! Always great to see an old machine lovingly brought back to full working condition. :)
🤙 Thanks Ben. Really great to hear from you again.
Really love that episode! The cardboard is such a good idea, plus your new soldering iron is really nice and seem to perform great!
Thanks again brother! Been doing the cardboard thing for a long time now. And yes, love the iron!
love these videos! learning lots from you...
Glad to hear it man. Much thanks!
Always a very good video. Thank you
And Thank YOU for commenting! Appreciate that.
too easy for you!! 😁 great play! interesting, your $40 junk console bundle is an interesting purchase! 😉
I know. Even for broken consoles, $40 is a steal.
you deserve more subs
A common comment. LOL. I just need to upload more. Haha.
I always popped lid open before pull up always thought if not damages the tiny 'door is closed' switch
Actually, leave door up when putting the cover back on.
Smooth! 👌
🤙

@@lKOlLlDlEST Sounds like the port. Never have come across the issue though.

@@lKOlLlDlEST I think the og xbox has a controller test app.
I have some reboot problems ( I already have cleaned the connectors for the power supply). Still some reboot issues however.

You sound like the guy on warzone lmfao
What's Warzone?
Call of duty warzone

What de-soldering gun and solder gun are you using?

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice job man
Mikey!!!! Great to hear from you man! Long time!
@@The_SegaHolic
Yeah mate, too long
I have the exact same problem
Go fix! It's easy!
@@The_SegaHolic I seen some kits on ebay to fix this issue. I'm going to try one to see if it works.
@@jram8984 Forgot about the kits. Yeah, most likely though, it'll be that resistor I just replaced.
WTF AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO NEEDED A GAMEBIT FOR MY DREAMCAST???
😳 Looks like someone put back the wrong screws.
Your solder temp is too low which is why it didn't flow well.
I have one in box thats like new
I still have my original JP and US models and those were taken care of.
