An epic of strife, perseverance and adaptation.

Had lunch with a couple of friends and one of them brought a Game Gear along, wondering if anything could be done with it. Power LED only, nothing else.
+55 fotosCould not fixSharp — X68000
A proper exercise in stubbornness. Two rounds of repair, a full recap, FDD surgery, a new oscillator, and still no picture. The X68000 remains on the 'future date' pile.

A proper saga. Magic smoke from a reversed capacitor, an accidental probe short, and enough replaced components to fill a parts drawer before a single faulty transistor finally gave the game away. Got it booting and running R-Type, which was a hard earned win. Video output later stopped working, so the story isn't entirely over.

Full service on an N64 for a friend. Recap, PSU reflow, controller overhaul and a freshly lubed joystick. Validated with Mario 64.

Not powering on due to a failed D1 diode. A straightforward fix once the culprit was identified.
