I Tried To Fix This Genesis, And It Was A Disaster.

This Sega Genesis / Megadrive's controller ports wouldn't work. Join us, and discover what the actual point of failure was. Hint: It wasn't a simple reflow.

Thanks to Bennvenn for this correction:
I incorrectly labeled the EMI filters as "mosfets".
However, I didn't want that to distract from the overall purpose of the video.

    I came to watch just like I promised......first off does the game gear tv addon have a input or did u add one? Secondly if seen MOSFETs go bad, third where the hell did u obtain this genesis it's a wreck, sounds like it was run with a very strong electromagnet near it, or perhaps a hotel room with the console sitting on the microwave while in use.....and what an asic solder, u need a award for that one. How long did it take to replace, 5 minutes or 2 hours....u can put it in the oven for a reflow
