How I fixed the board:
I recently got a Commodore 64 from a subscriber and it arrived already opened and poorly repaired 😥🔧 The board is actually broken, with missing PCB sections, lifted traces, bad solder joints and a badly reinstalled 6526!

What’s inside the Atari 800XL! 💾 (approximately)
It’s amazing how much engineering went into these 8-bit machines. Would you like me to break down each chip in future videos? 🙂

In my latest video, I repaired an Atari 130XE sent to me by a subscriber. It stopped working after he tried to clean it, turns out he mistook the potentiometer hole for a screw hole and forgot to reconnect the keyboard. I replaced the pot and now everything works perfectly!☺

In my latest video I fixed the LED of an Atari 800XL that wouldn’t turn on anymore! 💡
The problem was a broken trace on the keyboard board, so I rebuilt it with a small piece of hand-cut aluminum. There was also a potentiometer to adjust and just look at all those scratches on the board! 😅

Just finished working on two classic 8-bit Atari computers 🥰 the 800XL (on loan from my mum!) and the 130XE, the last of the line. Both needed serious TLC with some busted pots and weird keyboard traces.

This Olivetti PC128 definitely needed some general cleaning! (and a recap just to be safe) I’m glad the power switch issue was only mechanical and the tape deck belt was probably just loose from age.

The Commodore 128 was an amazing computer with 128KB of RAM and dual CPUs… but I really love it for its C64 mode!

This Commodore 128 came in for repair and guess what I found inside? 🤯 Broken caps, scratched traces and a whole lot of dust!

Finally got my Bambu Lab X1 Carbon back in action! The summer heat caused a filament mess that bent the nozzle and broke the thermistor, but after some repairs it’s printing perfectly again!

Fixing this Fenner SPC-800 wasn’t easy! Do you still have your first MSX, or did you have to part with it?

I took a chance on four untested MSX computers from eBay to see if they still work… let’s just say things didn’t go exactly as planned: dead CPUs, broken keyboards and faulty PSUs. Not exactly an easy ride!🔧😅

A few clips from my latest video, this capacitor definitely needed replacing 😥 and the whole board could use a little TLC 🛠️💖! Full video here: youtu.be/hZbW_hb-4IM 👈

I saved my mom’s Dreamcast! She bought it in Japan years ago and gave it to me to fix… now I’m hoping she’ll let me keep it since I brought it back to life 😁
