“My Mate VINCE”

In this video I attempt to fix a NES clone called a CoolBaby (yes, you have read that correctly). This item powers on, but does not display any image. Can it be fixed? Let’s find out.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video…

  1. Hi Vince, I haven’t watched one of your videos in over a year—shame on me! 😅 But this video brought back all the good vibes of enjoying your repairs! 🙌 Thank you so much—without you, I wouldn’t have started my own channel! 🫶 Keep it up, buddy! 🪛
    P.S.: The solder job on this device was beyond horrible! Unbelievable! 😱
    Cheers, Markus

  2. 🔴 Rejoice! A V-master V-ideo has arrived. My life has meaning once again. I'll grab some popcorn and settle in for ~27:56 mins of pure terror, enjoyment, laughter and satisfaction p.s. Ever since you issued the "chest hair warning" I've started watching it with "one eye closed" Just saying. Cheers from the U.S.

  3. Great find! That little resistor is the crystal drive resistor. It sits between the microcontroller and the crystal and limits the amount of energy the MCU puts back into the crystal. Typically, MCU oscillator drivers output a decent amount of power (relatively speaking), since the amount actually needed depends on the specs of the crystal and the properties of the PCB. So during design you select a resistor to limit the energy to meet the crystal spec based on measurement. The amount of power needed to keep a crystal moving is miniscule, on the order of nanoamps, so hundreds of k is totally normal.

  4. Nice fix! had something similar with a resistor not connecting on a Romoss X1000 power station that was faulty from factory but it blew up an voltage regulator because the resistor wasn't connected to the Feedback pin so it gave out almost full voltage luckily it didn't fry other things!
