Sega Genesis Console Restoration | Mega Drive Retro Tech Repair

I purchased a "broken" Sega Genesis / Mega Drive for $15 and refurbished it in this video. I’m a big fan of retro tech, so I was thrilled to see this console for so cheap. It smelled awful, and was a bit sticky, but it ended up cleaning up pretty well, except for the bottom of the casing.

Thank you, I bought one at a great deal, cleaned it up and it was the reset button giving it problems.

My Sega Genesis Model 1 High Definition Graphic got a rust in the back can it be removed?

The pain I felt when you ripped those cables from that pin connector. Been there except the entire connector came off of my ps1. Specifically it was the motor connector.

9:01 so this is how you fix wires that had that little pastic thing connected to them? This is a bit off topic but i ended up having the same issue on a ps2 slim. I broke the fan where it plugs into the motherboard. So i can just solder the wires back or is it a different case since it's a fan and not an led light? I couldn't find an answer anywhere

Great Job. Are you going to fill in the lettering with a silver sharpie?

[Tulku]

Which plastic restorer did you use? And nice job!

update!!!! ok it went back to sounding shrill when it dried up (after about 10 minutes). when i scrubbed it again, it worked perfectly, but each time it has time to dry, it starts doing it again. my guess is that there's some kind of conductive residue being left behind. i'm not quite sure how to get rid of it. it almost has a sticky texture in the vicinity. i'm using 91% iso and a toothbrush, but that only wets it, it doesn't seem to allow me to remove the conductive gunk that's causing this issue. what can i use to get rid of this stuff?

you fk'in fixed my genesis. thank you lol. i had this stupid issue where the audio was blaring and shrill or a LONG ASS TIME. i recapped, replaced the audio amp chip (replacing that chip did improve audio, but it was still shrill when collecting rings)... last ditch effort, scrubbed the damn system down with alcohol and toothbrush, mainly the CPU pins and the cartridge slot pins (a lil corrosion in these areas)... it's fixed. now to replace my reset button (it's shot, rubber's torn, it just needs to be replaced completely).

At least put some silver paint back on the 16bit logo lol
