It's not powering on and appears to be completely dead!
Let's see if we can fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

Stupid Game

"I wish i knew more stuff :'(" That why it's the only repair channel i enjoy, he's just so relatable. Dave is also a big plus/
-
Why is watching someone painting words on an old game with a silver pen so satisfying?
-
Brilliant! And who’d have thought that a transistor could just spontaneously stop working while in storage!
-
And the best bit of the electronics fix? The silver pen touch up. Lovely.
-
Nice to see repairs on electronics from my day with through hole components and VFDs. I went to a two year votech electronics engineering program in high-school then to a Jr College for electrical engineering in the late 90s. We litterally had a 20 minute lecture on SMDs where the instructor pretty much said "If it has SMDs, though it away when it breaks,, but you CAN fix them if absolutely necessary, it's just too fiddly and not worth the effort. ".

I like how you seem to stumble blindly through the troubleshooting, and then boom, you find the fault. You're clearly more skilled than you let on ;)
-
Hey Stez I didn't know you were the main character in a video game 🤣
-
Although it wasn't the loose component "CSB400" that was the cause I just wanted to point out that when looking for components based off labeling, you should include all letters/numbers as shown. In this case a CSB400P. Which will then bring up the correct component CSB400P Resonator 400kHz 0,5 % instead of a CSB400 Pressure Reducing Regulator :).

Great Job Steve, Nicely done. Good idea with the silver pen on the writing. It really makes it stand out! I've fixed a few similar VFD games so I'll have to remember that one👍👍👍
-
I laughed so loud and hard at the first battery throw I woke up my neighbor's dog. FANTASTIC job on the marker touch ups!
-
I have one of these from new and it works perfectly. It's a fab little game that takes me back to playing this game as a kid on Christmas Day.
-
Great work Steve, as always! Really enjoy your videos! This weeks "Out of space" was an extra special treat for a Prodigy fan! Loved it!
-
good ol' dave.. having found the channel relatively recently and watching all of the old videos way out of order, it was amusing to stumble upon and piece together the story of dave
-
The confidence shown in your work when you started the repaint prior to testing, commendable sir!
-
I think the silver pen thingy was the most satisfying part of this video.
-
Seriously mate, your skills have improved by leaps and bounds over even the brief time I've been following you. Well done.
-
Great fix, Steve ! A transistor costing pennies saved the day ! Love watching you !
-
Excellent analasis Steve. Overshadowing Vince the Rolls Royce Mechanic 😎

Keep the videos coming! I enjoy each and every video, no matter what you repair. Your personality makes the videos fun, and the repairs are interesting and informative. I learn more with each video. Thank you for being you.
