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.

SNK Neo Geo AES: Powers on but no video

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:32:40 -0700

So I have a Neo geo pro pow 3 and the power cable it came with works but gets very very hot and displays wavy picture. I bought a 9v power cord for retrogamecave as that’s the one he recommended. So when I plug it in just a black screen happens but when I plug in old cord I get video. Any idea why new power cord not working?

photo of power cord is my old one the still kinda works.

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?

Magnavox Odyssey2: Help identifying the components for fixing a (BR) Magnavox Odyssey 2

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 07:18:23 -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).

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.

Intellivision: Intellivision 2 model has major static in picture

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 08:11:56 -0700

Hi folks! I have an Intellivision 2 console. when I hook it up with coax to my led tv, I can see the picture ok, but it's filled with static. I have two of these consoles and they are both the same. I have seen this same problem on two different TVs as well. I tried switching cable as well. Same. I am currently using the cable from a classic Nintendo (push in style plug goes to a box and converts to screw in type coax)

I tried cleaning the connection port of the Intellivision with a small wire brush and the I side of the port with some light sandpaper. No change.

Help?
