sup mini game: Por que a bateria tem uma durabilidade baixa e como posso consertar?

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 15:09:08 -0700

Eu e meu irmão costumavamos ganhar vários deles, poréma bateria começava a dar sinais de defeito com pelo menos 4 meses de uso. Nosso pai vendo a situação tentou coloca-las em um daqueles "carregadores de bateria" (, e meio que aqueles carregadores de pilha para tomada,) mas sem sucesso.

Gostaria de poder ajuda-lo com esse dinheiro jogado no lixo consertando pelo menos 1 dos que temos.

Panasonic FZ-10: Is this pin important to the system to work?

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:48:47 -0700

I was removing the flex cable for the retrogem mod and I remove the pad from the system and have a black screen. I pretty sure its pin 185 of the IC140 I can even see the silhouette of the pad can this be fixed and if so were can I run the jumper wire to? Does the connection on pin 135 the last pic look good? I am getting continuity.

Atari Lynx: Can this be fixed?

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:09:09 -0700

So I bought a Atari lynx 2 from ebay and it there was no power even when I used batteries whoever owned the system tired to fix it used glue to attach the power jack. I tried to removed the glue carefully, but couldn't and I think that's a coil got ripped up among with solder mask will the system work without the coil if not can it be fixed?

Atari Lynx: Will this cause me problems

Thu, 28 May 2026 02:46:05 -0700

So I bought a lynx 2 from ebay and I noticed that the power is missing and when I put batteries in it and it doesn't power on(Ordered a power tuneup kit from console5). I noticed that whoever had the system recapped it and there is some kind off weird flux on it. I also noticed that some of the solder mask was ripped is that going to cause me problems?

Retro Game Console: Help identifying the components for fixing a (BR) Magnavox Odyssey 2

Tue, 19 May 2026 18:06:16 -0700

Hello!

My partner found a Philips Odyssey (the brazilian version of the Magnavox Odyssey 2) in a pawn store. We got it, thinking even if it was dead it would be an awesome decoration/historic piece. I want to fix it, but most caps, resistors and inductors are completely blown.

I'm mostly a beginner on soldering / electronics, but I can do some basic stuff (like soldering / desoldering big components without destroying them, using a multimeter) and I think I'd be able to change all the components as they are fairly large.

I have a board number: MAIN BD 703965-5 and these pictures (sorry, most pictures were taken before the console was cleaned/dusted off). I can take more if need be. I know there are a couple of revisions of these consoles, at least in Brazil.

I used AI to identify most stuff but I don't trust it and I was hoping to get someone's opinion.

What AI got me is below - I was able to source all of them locally besides the 12 µH inductor and 33 Ohms resistor

Caps:

# 1x 4700µF 25V (C12 - Main Input Filter)

‌ 1x 680µF 25V (C2207)
‌ 1x 47µF 25V (C871 or C2208)
‌ 3x 10µF 50V (C782, C850, C853)
‌ 3x 1µF 63V (C779, C783, C812)
1. Semiconductors:
7x Signal Diodes 1N4148 (D701 a D704 e D685 a D687)
‌1x Transistor NPN BC547 (Q684)
‌1x Voltage Regulator 7805
1. Critical components:
1x Resistor R7 (Verify colors on board for the values)
‌1x Inductor L3 Indutor (Bobina RF Choke) 12 µH (oxidated)
‌1x Resistor 33 Ohms 9W (R50 - If the console turns on but there's no image on RF).

Retro Game Console: Why does my NES display a solid pink when it is turned on?

Thu, 07 May 2026 22:30:24 -0700

When I start up my NES system every time, it displays a solid pink. Does anyone know why it displays pink? The pink screen is annoying me. I've already tried using my air pump to try to get dust out of the console and also I keep trying to reset the console.

Vectrex: Game & Sound But No Picture

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 12:07:23 -0700

*Update After Cleaning the pins of the J204 connector the screen emits a glow after turning the brightness up all the way and the tube on the back of the crt has a glow which did not happen before as seen in pictures.

*Edit Here are some photos of the power board. As far as I can tell none of the capacitors look damaged. I also took a picture of the board on the tube itself, not sure what that is called. Sorry for the weird angles but its the best I can do without removing the board.

I have a vectrex with game and sound both working but zero picture, no dot in the middle of the screen or anything. The only thing I have done to repair the vectrex was replace a fuse which brought back game & sound function. I am not very tech savvy and this is out of my league, any help is appreciated.
