Nice to find a repair channel that doesn’t stage their fixes! I have 40 OG PS1’s to fix so this really helped, I subbed!

this channel is the perfect combo of calm, funny, educational and interesting, and no loud nonsense or overly "produced" stuff. Awesome!

Just found your channel 2 days ago and now am binging all your videos. Your knowledge of electric engineering is amazing.

I find it fascinating that you can even try and repair these things. Too many electrical items end up in landfill and you at least save some. Thank you for all your content.

Man, I found this channel (more like suggested by KZfaq) what a find. Spent over 3 hours last night watching different videos on the channel. I honestly have no interest in myself trying to fix things but for some reason watching you fix gaming items is just so relaxing haha. Keep up the great work!!!

I love that you have a cuppa on the mat which you somehow nimbly keep avoiding; it adds a real element of danger & suspense!

Love your videos Steve, I'm slowly getting into the hobby and going through your troubleshooting steps is really insightful. Keep on going!

Thank you for uploading not only entertaining but educational content, I enjoy the more chill & laid back approach. Found your channel through TheCod3r and was glad I did, keep up the great work!

I like that your videos show the mistakes you make. It's helps cement knowledge for the viewer when they see you unknowingly make a mistake, discover your mistake, and fix your mistake.

So glad i've found your channel. im starting to work on machines at my job and im coming to enjoy the process of taking things apart and diagnosing issues, and your videos make it entertaining.

I'm an apprentice security tech and KZfaq brought up your channel as I was researching electronics. Even though what you fix is a far cry from what I work with, I still enjoy your videos as I have learnt a few things from your techniques! I smashed the Subscribe Button as you asked, and now I need a new one...

I had choppy audio on my Psone and dark fuzzy screen. I recapped the entire board as the Caps on them are very cheap. I wanted to eliminate any future issues with them. It did work after that! I can tell you using a heat gun is the way to go. You can get the caps off so easy. I watched Voultar's videos and learned how to remove them!

I've had so many times in my life where I tried to fix something and I only made it worse. Love how you stay calm.

I love your channel! Your fixes are great and you document your mistakes which is really genuine of you!

Recently found this channel randomly. I really like seeing techs and games I haven't seen since I was very young. Great host also, very calm narration. Kind of reminds me of Jeremy Wade or Ed Stafford! Anyway, love the content man.

I'm watching your videos for some days now - very entertaining, very inspiring and very informative. I really enjoy it a lot! Or in one word: "Nice!"

I like seeing the sometimes trial and error process of repair. It’s helpful for those who are interested in learning like myself

Hello from Athens - Greece ,love your videos and your work.Thanks for the content ! ! !

Great channel, light hearted but really interesting videos with some dry humour thrown in I'm hooked 🎣. All the best to StezStix and everyone else to.

A lot non subscribed viewers are probably not signed into a yt account. Also you're a joy to watch. Very satisfying

This is my first video of yours and I was a non-subscriber until today. KZfaq decided to recommend this video today and I was not disappointed.

I have no interest at all in fixing electrical gadgets but I am fascinated with watching you fix them. Go figure.

I want to thank you for leaving the piece of the video where you send that negative side of the cap somewhere else. We are all human, we can all make mistakes no matter how experienced we are. Watching the human side of something as complex as fixing electronics is always encouraging. Subscribed!

Just started watching these kind of videos lately due to an interest and some from others are painful to watch.. fresh take watching this a good laugh while trying to learn some of this stuff. Top video 👍

I smashed that subscribe button, really enjoy your chilled out approach and you explain things that even i can understand (nearly) 🤣

I just started watching these videos because I bought a storage unit with a few game devices that I need to fix so I am not a subscribed person but I will most likely be here soon thank you for your help

I believe that the fact that you don’t say “smash that subscribe button” or anything ridiculous like most of the other beggars on KZfaq is part of the reason why I subscribed to your channel and hit the like button… And I also comment! Thank you so much for not being one of those KZfaqrs!

I am guilty of watching and forgetting to subscribe, something i just rectified, love the vids steve keep up the good work

I Love your vids so much its a good Tutorial in different errors ist will Help me to fix broken Stuff. Keep Up your fantastic work

Love the videos, all the reward of the repair with none of the risk of my idiocy 😂

I literally threw my arms up in victory at your first power on success! Haven't even finished watching yet!

@14:45 that sound is *GLORIOUS*

Awesome 👍 Congratulations to another repair!

Great to see you fixing this old PS1 there Steve very interesting to see what the problem was but hey you fixed it - Nice 1 mate 👍

Found your channel on a mistake and been watching all your videos :) love your content

I have replaced many of those fishy bastards. I feel your pain. Remember sometimes the mistakes are the best lesson.🙂 Nice!

I'll never forget someone giving me a Sega CD because he couldn't get it to work. I opened the lid, grabbed a knife and popped the spimner up a couple millimeters and it worked fine. It had literally just been pushed in and couple spin properly.

so as far as the name of this it is a ps1. the PSX is what most people call the original model of the first PlayStation and the PS1 came out later. there was actually a screen that was made specifically to go on top of the PS1 that would allow you to play without a TV but it did not attach to the original model

Great channel, great bloke ,love the fixes for the bodges I thought I was the only one to lift pads and always love a bit of Rudeboy..

I never subscribe, I'm one those ones who keeps coming back. I agree with your opinion of others and for that I just had to hit the subscribe for your honesty, mostly because I find your videos very watchable and appreciate your kindness to share your knowledge.

I really love how you do ur work keep up

Great video, keep up the good work.

I was so bloody satisfied to hear that start up noise!!

Nice fix Steve - all the mention of fish had me going to the chippie for lunch, lol. Your Captain Bodge mug is amazing, BTW :)

Absolutely love your videos! Consider me addicted!

I definitely smashed that like button when you said you "really don't want toooo" 🤣

Great video Steve! Cheers from Argentina

Kept getting recommended this video and finally watched it. Smashed the subscribe button. SMASHED IT.

Very Nice repair and I had fun seeing the video! :D I subscibed

Great video Steve

Just love someone fix stuff dont delete mistakes! In the recordings i Learn so mutch more !

Hey Steve The algorithm brought me to your Gameboy Games Video and after that i watched some more videos of you the last days. I like your humour and your music selection. It feels like a cosy tv program. Keep going and make us and yourself happy ☀️☀️ Ps. I like the merch shirts you wear

Pretty sure I just became you 15000th subscriber. I enjoy your videos mate. I like to be able to fix electronics but i suck. I find these entertaining and the right amount of light hearted humour and education. Keep up the good work!

Gem of a channel, thank you sir

Most helpful and informative sir here's a free bit of knowledge if you ever need a optical drive for PS1 the same drives can be found in a Sony disc man /walkman

Lovely fix fair play. Got to love the old playstation. Never had a PS One though but have the PS1

I've hit that subscribe button. I have no idea what you do when you fix these things though.

i subscribed at this video! appreciate your work!

Got notified about this video and found out somehow I'm subbed. Good video so I'll stay subbed

A lot of people like my son watch youtube on their tv and liking and subscribing aren't easily accessible in case you are curious. My daughter hordes the tv so i have to watch your videos on my phone...lol that's why i like and subscribed!

Great video. Just got a bench power supply myself. Good you had one.

I'm going through all your videos and watching those ive missed - This one had a little too much fishy leakage for me but overall great video! 😆

I haven't the foggiest how this came into my recommendations, but I'm glad it did.

A faulty power supply, damn, i never expected that. Nice video, man ;)

Great fix buddy. Congrats

Ha I’m still loving your videos! Still very informative but enjoyable to watch at the same time! ‘Gonna have to replace all of these caps. I was kinda hoping I wouldn’t have to? But I think I’m gonna have to? But I really don’t want to? 🥺 great videos. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks for great content ! Just subscribed .

I like your videos. You're a funny dude. Keep doing, that stuff is awesome (even I don't know anything of what you're doing there)

I hate finding someone I like because they usually let you down when you get to know them. I guess this is why they say "Never meet your hero/idols". Seems like a genuine person, then again I am only about 8 videos into this fella. Relatable in his level of skill/knowledge... Makes me feel like I know a thing or two when I am yelling at my monitor and get one right, we dont need to talk about the 99 wrong answers.. moving on. Capacitors! You can tell from the screen flicker that it is failing to reach a charge and then finally stabilized enough to give you that split screen you initially got... argh! Not to mention I am so intensely JEAULOUS of his set up and gear! Then he uses the tools to fix my favorite drug on earth.. (gaming devices) and I sit there salivating with my tongue hanging. Knowing my luck it is going to turn out he steals pets and climbs a tree to violate them after covering himself in feathers... or some other insane thing. Anyway love the work Steve Thank you. Stay away the the neighbors pets you hear me! Behave yourself!

im commenting from 2023.. that would make this video 2 years old... I KNOW after following you and watching everything recently especially that you would have checked the power firstly. So you have gotten more wise throughout the years. :)

Excellent fix wouldn’t never thought of that

If you ever did a t-shirt that says "That definitely smells of fish" I would definitely buy one!

Amazing job , this video really make my day ,,, especially the magic part, thank you ..

I did smash that sunscribe button lol. I have a rule that I usually go by. If I watch at least 2 vids from start to finish by the samw content creator then it stands to reason I'm going to enjoy more of their vids so it makes sense to subscribe. I dont always tickle that little bell item but that's because it's not usually slapped ham

lol I've been watching you vids for a few days now and enjoying them but that part at 17:50 got me to sub and like the video.

Micro Machines was a brilliant family game - happy memories. Thanks

1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth🤪

The thumbs up light up when he said the thing.. I have never noticed this befor

I dont know if You improved your SM cap removal skills , but i saw great result on how Chris Edwards did it on his channel, just by klipping them. not twisting let that be clear. great video's Steve, like watching them. thumbs up. really strugling to make myself do an Amiga 1200 in some time.

Exactly the problem i had. So there was not enough power. Thank you very much Sir!

Well done Steve

Just cracked my screen smashing the subscribe button. Now my phone needs repair! Know anyone who fixes electronics???

I was kinda hoping to see how bad the Barbie game was. But no, you had to replace it with the seriously epic Leamington Spa made Micro Machines. 😁 I do recommend getting a multitap and more controllers for some amazing multiplayer V3. I can confirm that this is the "slim" model as released around the time of the PS2 launch. You could get an LCD screen to attach to the console too. Good call on those caps. I guess it's fairwell and thank you for all the fish. I love the simplicity of the PS1/2 era; no game installation, no updates, just pop in a disc and a memory card.

I used to fix original ps1 back in the day. This place I worked for had the contract to fix them for a catalog company. It was either dry joints on the power supply dodgy laser or motherboard. We used to have brand new ones and just swap out the old parts for the new and send the fixed one to the customer and the brand new one with broken parts in back to the catalog company.

When replacing those caps I find it easiest to grab them with needle nose pliers vertically and then twist left/right to take them off cleanly.

Oops liquid drink near the work space, love the videos keep going.

Im one of those guys lol, so considered me subbed now im 3 videos in from watching your gameboy game ones appearing on my algorithm

It was your use of the term 'fishy leakage' which forced me to subscribe.

sweet, I was one of those who looked but never bought, well i bought today..I subscribed...ahahah. cheers

Having that coffee/tea right there made me nervous.

Another great fix! 😁👍👍

The wink at the end and your reaction made me laugh

I found a psone for $5 a few days ago and experienced the same power issue. I was using an universal power supply but it didn't have enough current, so I used the 12v output of a PC power supply and it worked fine. Now I need some games because mine are scratched. The flex of the CD mechanism is very fragile and prone to breaking.

Great fix and funny nice one 👍

Great video Steve. you made me spit my coffee out. Your hilarious 🤣

I’m already subscribed 😁

Thanks is very educational

This was like an episode of Blues Clues guessing with the lifted pad.

I love the old dymo labels.

14:51 hearing those PS1 startup sounds after the fix (chef's kiss)
