Hi, I purchased a faulty vintage Nintendo Game and Watch, it was advertised as "Not in working condition" so let's test it, see what the fault is and hopefully repair it! #electronics #electronicsrepair #vintagetoys

It’s incredible that’s chips already could be condensed in such small size back in the 80’s. Thanks for showing this.

Very nice fix :) I have similar one screen game, but mine is made by Q&Q and it's a King Kong game. Got it as a kid for Christmas 1983 and it's still working, altough at one point it had connection problem. Ultimately I found that it just had loose battery connector and after I fixed that, it's been working reliably again for years now :)

@@BuyitFixit I don't remember the highscore, but it could take hours. And at some point it won't get any faster, you just have to stay focused. It was the only one of its kind we had in my family, I wanted DonkeyKong but never got it, it was far too expensive. 😁 I'd take it in a heartbeat if I found one at a garage sale today.

Im sorry but this is not the whole truth. You fixed it before making the video first and then made this video. Or maybe there are two different internals involved. Why do I say so? When you opened the game the board and the rubber wire and lcd screen came separate so easy! It would not if this was an all authentic. The board and LCD stick very well over the years.

Perhaps the previous owner opened it? Or had someone else look at it? You never know the history of an item when you buy something from Ebay.
