Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.

If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.

If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.

If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

Anyone know of a video showing someone using an oscilloscope on the NES or other console-type gaming system? (self.consolerepair)

I love how Adrian Black shows what the scope should look like for the C64 on power on, etc. but I have never seen anyone do the same for an NES. It would be a fascinating video. Anyone seen anything like this?

Just wanted to comment that I’m currently watching Adrian diagnose and repair a bunch of c64’s!

I’m also pretty interested in the answer. I hope someone chimes in soon.

This is probably not what you’re looking for, but anyway https://youtu.be/8RrQrATnXXY

No, not at all what I was looking for. But fascinating nevertheless to see in-depth discussion of the sound characteristics of the NES's 2A03 and Konami's VCR6 and VCR7 chips in the context of creating a new chip with improved (but not original) sound.
