What kind of lubricant did you use for the DVD drive? Can you give me an Amazon link?

Hello Mr. Retro Repair Guy, I'm sorry to pester you with so many questions, but I was curious as to where you get all of your capacitors. You see, I have watched your Original Xbox video, and after watching this video it would seem that whenever you need a replacement capacitor, you always happen to have just the right one at your disposal. Do you buy them in bulk or something?

I have seen big containers of capacitors for sale on Amazon, but I was wondering where you get yours and what kind you buy.

Again, I sincerely thank you for your help and time.

I honestly can't believe that you only have 966 subscribers and only 630 views on this video! I can tell that you put a lot of hard work into making this video, and the editing is very professional. Your videos are very informative and enjoyable. You have definitely earned a sub and a like from me, keep it up!

Putting some PCB on DISHWASHER

I got a PS2 with some slight rust from what looks like soda around the expansion Bay corners, should white vinegar work to remove it? I've heard using a baking soda and water mixture afterwards is useful too, also hopefully mine won't need any capacitors replaced bc that's out of my range lol, good video btw!

SORRY that i just liked this video after 5 months it was avail on youtube. You make these repairs look so simple. I love the background, my 1st ever console the Atari 2600 sits right in the back. I use to have it in the 80s but gave it up when i got my NES, i regret it and wish one day i will get my hands on one for a reasonable price. You should make a video on the type of tools you use to repair these electronics.

Corrosion and a bad electrolyte cap add to hear 50 or 60hz noise haha I commented befor you opened it up.
Good job out those bad caps

With Free McBoot you can use an IDE hard drive with that network adapter to load games :)

Great video, where did you find that 330µF 315v capacitor?
