Retro Game Consoles Found in The DUMP! Let's Try to Fix Them.

Vintage Game Consoles Found in The DUMP! Let's Try to Fix Them - One of my viewers found old PlayStation and Sega Genesis game consoles at the city dump so he sent them to me to see if I could fix them. One of them won't play a game and the other won't start up at all so this should be fun!

For those unaware, Steve is now in remission! So happy to see the treatment has been a success (not that I had any doubt you'd beat cancer's butt!) Much love to you and the family, Steve! God Bless

You started cleaning the PS1, and i wondered why there was still a spot on the lid. Turned out my screen was just dirty 😂

[supergirl]

So happy to hear you are in remission Steve! The strength it takes to go through chemo and still keep up with the channel is amazing

[krzysiekp.]

This video reminded the time when I found an SNES in my building's dumpster room. It was sitting in a box with a few games. All cables and one controler were there. Was a bit dirty but working just fine. Still have it.

[thomashunter]

I'm so glad you got them working! Was worried I sent ya actual junk, lol.

[livefreeprintguns]

I can't believe you even have the energy to do these videos! I know how hard it was on my mom when she had cancer... and thankfully she has been in remission for over 12 years now. I loved reading that you are also in remission. Glad everything is working out the best it can, and I just wanted to say there is plenty of life to be lived after treatment. F--- cancer!

Your T-shirt Steve “I paused my repair to be here”

Hey Steve, long time watcher, the reason I even know how to take apart consoles and ifixit advocator. I really want to thank you for not giving up and still filming despite the circumstances. A stranger just thanking you and telling to keep up the good work.

I know nothing about electronics but somehow I can’t stop watching. Great channel.

@tronicsfix - Steve, i'm so glad to hear about the remission! I am very glad that you are beating it! sending prayers and thoughts my friend to you and your family. i lost my dad a year ago to the cancer. i'm happy to see you beat it, and absolutely thrilled you are doing better. with the best wishes and love from the Meakers.

That’s the nice thing about those older consoles, the damn things just worked and failures were usually easy to fix.

New consoles break if you look at them the wrong way.

[ДимитърАндонов-ъе]

that's just beyond me that people throw things that need little to no fixes to get them in perfectly working condition

[teejay]

This really took me back. That laser adjustment was my very first console repair. I learned it in a magazine too! That’s for reminding me of such a wonderful memory. ❤

[hendoiii]

Still making videos despite your situation i admire a lot. Youre not looking for sympathy and just getting on with life. For that i admire uou 😊

[oinvasor]

Greetings from Brazil! First time here. Good to hear that guy is ok. Thanks bro. God bless you and your family!

[Jay-opjn]

Good to know the treatment is going well from this community. Your videos are always fantastic, you got this!✊

[MR-vgyn]

Retro consoles are.... soothing to me? They're from a time when manufacturers didn't go out of their way to make repairs harder than necessary. Just feels weirdly "wholesome".

[Howema]

that power port solder issue is extremely common on Model 2 Genesis, i was able to get multiple for $5 each several years ago and they all had that exact problem, my guess is the port isn't well braced by the shell so if the console is moved around or stored with the power cord left in it may crack the solder joint like you found.

[felipeabreu]

I’m glad you’re getting better Steve! Soon everything will be fine! Best regards from Brazil! 🇧🇷

[Adeptzed]

And another 2 consoles repaired. Enjoy seeing you on screen as always and for taking us on the repairs live!
