Happy Belated birthday!!! I love that little whale shark… he’s adorable!! Glad you were able to resolve the buzzing issue. Wouldn’t want you to quit You Tube!!! 😉

The feeling you get when hours of troubleshooting pays off is so gratifying. Great video! Thanks for the continued entertainment! Also, loving my shirt from the channel!

[brendandonahe]

Outstanding! Really glad you got it working. All of these old systems need love, attention, and upgrades like this. I have been there, too, tearing my hair out for days when the solution is straightforward but somehow not obvious. Thanks for the mention. :)

I, for one, am looking forward to more "Taylor's Troubshooting" videos. A mid-show wardrobe change means the 8-bit got real. ;) Good job guys!

[drrev]

What a great little machine. I feel your frustration and your elation when it finally comes good. Great job and well done to you both. Never surrender 👍
Yep, its an original Cylon (©™) on the PCB.

[EricsEdgeVideos]

Thank you. Again, thank you for sharing your problem and the frustration you felt. We have all been there.Anyone claiming otherwise is either a liar or a fool who hasn’t tried anything. W00T!

[CanadianRetroThings]

Glad it all works! I have been wanting one of those mods for a while, now I know the first thing to check when I finally get one and it doesn't work 😆

Jam in all new tiny ceramic caps for effect.

[DonaldHolben]

Good god, I had one in the early 80'!

[geekwithsocialskills]

"I think we need the Rebel Alliance" LOL!

[Saskue]

It would of been the simplest thing that you would not thought of. Good to see it worked when you swaped the cables round though.

[philsmith]

Never seen this machine before but cool little computer. Keep up the good work guys! (girls)

[stefanbauch]

This reminds me why hardware is my definitive bogey Team...

[orignal]

I've had the same happen to me at work on a few occasions. Hours if not days of troubleshooting, and at one point: "WHAT? That was it?" Contrary to other people, I find this moment to be very anticlimactic. Somehow, I wished I had uncovered something big, but it was just me being dumb instead... I guess I just like problem solving and I find it disappointing when there was no real problem to start with. Speaking of loving to troubleshoot, I would have really enjoyed if you would have had some footage of the oscilloscope action.

[jeffreyphipps]

You *were* doing a composite mod. Note to future self: Maybe the composite cables aren't the ones you think (if memory serves this isn't the first time). Mad scientist laugh...

[PhantomBit]

LOL, I knew what happened immediately because I recognized the sound.

[marksuper]

It so humbling when stuff like that happens. Glad you got it figured out.

Also, your mini screwdriver sounds way too much like a dental drill. Enough to make me squirm a bit lol.

[patkelley]

I must say very dramatic video. I looked away (cause I'm supposed to be working) and came back to some kind of crisis playing out in closed caption. Wow! Caper solved!

[timothyp]

So frustrating for you till the moment of success! Whenever I have a problem where the solution appears trivial — but only after hours of looking at everything else — I feel both super released and also want to kick myself.

[erroneus]

That would mean the cable out is configured in a non-standard way.
