Retro Repair - Gaming Doctor!

Thanks for all your contributions. Here's a question you can answer with one word: You mentioned in comments that you adjusted the pot for your Neo Geo CDZ (and that it fried the lens, but let's ignore that). All I would like to know is, since you have a multimeter and probably checked, which way reduces the resistance and increases power to the laser? Clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Hey I have a Sega Saturn MK-8000 disc spins but will not read a thing. Replaced the laser and the same thing, the disc just sits there and spin for about two mins and then stops. This one got me ready to pitch it over the hill in the creek.

hey dude have you got any idea how to fix the grey screen on an nes?? I tried the regions mod but when i turn on my nes a grey screen just pops up and I dunno where I went wrong :/ it'll mean a lot to me to hear back from you..thnx :)

hey how can i get one of thoes guns that you have from time crisis ..???

hi man :) I have a question that took me awake all night long hahaha I consider me as a newbie on retro gaming, yesterday I bought a NES with 6 games, a zapper and a controller, it was very dirty inside so I cleaned up and do the region free mod that you have. But it can't still read games, the red light is not flashing anymore, but when I power on the NES the screen comes white or gray; I think it should be that the 72 pin connector is not doing contact with the games because the use it had, but in fact I don't know. Can you help me? Thanks :)

I have a sega saturn problem, can u fix it?

I thought I'll never be able to fix my gun pedal! Thank you for the repair video.

hey retroRepair I have a panasonic q and it stopped switching to american gamecube any idea on how to fix it. thanks.

Hello! I saw you have made a Lynx repair video, and I wanted to ask you if you knew of a fix for a Lynx with a broken D-pad? Basically, when I push on the left side of the D-pad, it always thinks I'm pushing up as well, making it impossible to go left in say, a top-down game like Chips Challenge or Crystal Mines 2, as instead I'll go north-west diagonally. Same thing happens when I push up on the D-pad, it thinks I'm pushing left as well.

on your sega drving cabinet video which emulator are you scrolling. I am trying to load a san rush cabinet and would like most of the same game you have on this machine

HELP! I just bought a sega saturn the picture is flickering horribly. I think I may need to change the battery out, Could there be something wrong with output to the tv?

VERY nice and usefull channal. Would be very happy if you would make a diagram or something on how to interface your L2M2 to the Logitech PCB and Daytona wheel, cause I'm really not sure what the french tutorial at gamoover.net is saying about the interfacing part (google translate). Btw. have you noticed that google translate is just translating kohm to ohm's in this tutorial. Minor mistake that people HAS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION when building the board! But again thanks for the cool video's and keep up the good work. :)

Dude your channel is awesome. thanks for all the repair tips!

Not just yet, got the new laser though so we will see what happens!

Any news on that cdz repair? really keen if you got that baby going again :)

No worries mate, us Brits in the community have to stick together and besides, your channel rocks man!

Thanks for the support bro, particularly featuring the turbo show on your channel list - awesome!

Hey there - Found your channel via Danks, love your channel so looking forward to more of youir videos - Cheers, Phil.

Thanks ^_^

nice channel :)

Thanks for checking out my channel mate, lots more repair and mod videos to come!

hey man I saw Dankss newest video and thought I might as well help out and check out your channel and I am getting into repairing old systems and what not so I subscribed!

Haha nah that's futurematt5's podcast, not mine -_^

A podcast aswell mate nice one, love dankss vids also :) check out moomert1 arcade vids also (american)

Great channel! In my opinion part of retro gaming in general is repairing and maintaining the old machines and your channel provides great advice! Definitely subbed!

Haha it's pretty much impossible long term, though depending on the fault, you can temporarily fix it by using the old towel method. Usually lasts me about a month or so -_^ That said, my friend used the penny trick and it lasted about 2 years. Pot luck I think mate.

ive been meaning to ask you, how hard is it to fix a red ringed 360?

Keeping it classic @ Classic Gamers' HQ.

Hey bud, Dankss and I just made a podcast in which your good name was shouted out, just passing by for the first time and I see you have an excellent channel, so I look forward to checking out your videos. Subd.

Thanks for the sub! I was happy to return the favor, you have an absolutely awesome channel, love your arcade cabs. :)

can you do a video with a tekken arcade cabinet going through diffrent things and how it compares to the playstation 1 game thanks Nick ./ cfmlsn.

Hello I was just wondering if you could help me out. I have a Panasonic Q that won't read the disc's anymore how can I fix it. Thank you.

Hey I was wondering could you help me. I have a Doctor v64 that i took out of the press after many years I seem to remember how it all works but is there any tool like RTool to convert Roms from NSTC-USA to Pal or should that even matter?.. I have downloaded 3 different types of Goldeneye Roms there all USA versions all carry different data like Rom size etc.. But it seems to be missing a bit on the side of tv screen and the volume stops after I load a level? Also Mario Kart graphics isn't perfect as original game and sound is poor?... Any Ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks for subscribing to my channel and also being #1000 sir, I really do appreciate it, cheers = )

i have a broken SNES if you want to try fixing it it powers on, but is iffy about which games it loads and half loads graphics on the games it does load also has yellowing on some of the plastics if you wanted to make a vid about how to restore plastics to there original colours

Hey there. First I just want to say thanks for helping me fix my Saturn. Its been on a down slope for years now and now its working great. You actually inspired me to start making my own youtube repair videos. Anyways, I picked up a saturn the other day that "was broken". I was told it wasn't reading discs and I figured that it was another simple adjustment like my original saturn. How wrong they were. It reads discs fine but what it displays is entirely different! It seems like any data passed from the bios or disc shows up garbled....almost like whne old NES games would start failing. If I post a video could you take a look?

Haha,sweet lookin' channel bro!

wow, you channel is back!!! great!^^

Oh, mine works, so no need to take it apart. Haha. However, the drive sometimes doesn't open, so I have to give the gear alittle push for it to finally open up. Guess that's what I get for having it sit on display for awhile rather than using it.

Yeah, I recommend not taking them apart if you don't have to!

Did you ever get your Panasonic Q put back together?

Please reply to my PMs.

Keep up the good work matey.

Hope everything is okay man. Take care.
