I am a FUCKING RETARDED FAGGOT. And I just burned my jap Saturn. I plugged it to 230V instead of 110V. The fuse is blown also that grey element with a '221' on it (ceramic capacitor 220pF???) is fucked. Help me pls I am a big retard. Is there a chance that I fryed everything? More pics in replies..

Post a pic of the busted board specifically where the component would be seated. Might offer some clues, sometimes there will be a symbol that matches schematics.

BZZZT you are wrong. They don't. Different Saturn models have different power supply outputs and even different pin count and physical sizes.

[Anonymous No.6100117]

>>6099545
It's a ceramic capacitor. Probably 221 pf. If you look at a service manual they don't document the power supply at all, so if you want to double verify you'll have to google for people with similar problems. If you get something close to 221 pf make sure the voltage rating is high enough. If you go overboard it just means it can handle more volts before exploding like it did here. If you do 60v its going to explode again because it can't handle it.

And then you'd be wrong and you'd end up burning down the console. hint: there's a reason that thing exploded when you fed it double the rated voltage - it was a varistor used for surge protection, not a fucking capacitor. It's DESIGNED to blow up when there's a power surge, for example when you put 230V into a 110V device.

I mean even the PCB markings clearly tell you that it's not a capacitor, since it's marked as SA# instead of C#. That's how fucking stupid you are, you can't even read the fucking letters and associate them with the initials of the component type, which is something a child of age five could figure out on its own.

If he just replaces the broken parts it’ll be fine. I’m no EE but I work on industrial electronics and I’ve fixed many dozens of computers/consoles. A solid amount of them literally from the landfill. And if you’ve ever seen plant computers and electronics you’d understand how fucked up they look. Replace the broken components, clean everything with alcohol and contact spray and it’s good. This stuff is way more resilient than people think. You don’t need a fancy oscilloscope and soldering iron. A harbor freight multimeter and cheap fine point iron is fine with some rosin core flux. For my braid I just strip some coaxial cable when I need more. I give everything a rubbing alcohol bath and clean it with a nylon toothbrush or toilet brush in my shops sink. Spray it with contact cleaner and repeat. You’re just being a pedantic little bitch.

[Anonymous No.6103159]

>>6102151
It means it has a part number of 221, and judging by the power supply it is a type that is used for surge protection in AC100V appliances. The power supply you posted also tells you the exact voltage and current the PSU uses (100-120V, 0.4A).

And, what do you fucking know, there's actually such a thing as a type 221 varistor which is a standardized value for a MOV that has a maximum allowable AC voltage of 140V - about the same as what the PSU specified. Even better, it is recommended to be used in 100V appliances, like the power supply you just blew.

I'm not even an electronic engineer, I just put "varistor type 221" in google and read the fucking spec sheet and matched up the numbers.

Oh, by the way, if you look at the specs, it is called a Surge Absorber, the initials making out SA, you know, like the fucking marking on the power supply (SA 1). I THINK THIS COULD BE WHAT YOU NEED because every marking and every spec matches up! And again, all I did was read the fucking spec sheet and use bare minimum of cognitive skills to determine if the numbers and markings of the component match up or not!

>>6102167
>you can't burn down a house because of a bad cap in old console you fucking moron.

No one said burning down the house, just the console, which you can very well do if you replace a surge absorber with a capacitor. And if you keep the unit on dry bed sheets or next to a dried out Christmas tree or something like that, and the console blows a spark that exists through the vent holes, it can maybe potentially cause a fire in whatever was near it. That's really a stretch, but it can potentially happen.

It's time to try installing my model 1 Saturn replacement laser. This console has been straining to "see" game discs and usually reads them as unplayable audio CDs (i.e., can't even get the ToC), so it seemed a new laser was in order after trying everything on the old one.

I didn't realize I'd have to desolder a "safety" blob on this new pickup assembly. I don't have the proper tools for that but I'll try breaking the connection just with the tip of my iron and report back.

This is what happens when you try to replace parts without knowing how to do it. The new laser needs to be calibrated to be useful. Calibration isn't there to just fuck with the laser when it is getting weak, it's there because every system has slightly different properties you have to adjust the analog pickup for.
In fact if you'd calibrated the old laser properly, then chances are you could have gotten another couple of years from it. The service manual is available for that drive too, which tells you exactly how to calibrate it!

But I imagine you just broke it with your botch job of desoldering the blob. You could have just touched it with the tip of your soldering iron and it would have "sucked" up enough party of the blob to break the connection.

tl:dr; you didn't knew how to fix it and didn't knew how to use your tools, and you ended up breaking it.

[Anonymous No.6106657]

But 120v isn't really 120, it goes up and down. So the peak voltage of 120v ac is much higher than the peak voltage of 100v ac.

[Anonymous No.6106670]

>>6106657
If that was the case then it wouldn't work with 100V either because it can fluctuate below that value.

hint: the people who designed this already took this into account. The 100-120V rating comes from the fact that it would be really fucking stupid to make separate supplies for both ends, when you can just make one that works with both.

I can one-up that.
I blew out this PSX by accidentally shorting AC to the shielding, Had to re-route the S-Video luma output. While I was at it, added 220uf caps and 75ohm resistors to the RGB lines.
The glue blobs are to both space the uninsulated leads away from the shield and the PCB components, and at the bottom to prevent torquing the RGB out pins off the encoder after I lifted them.

That's exactly what I did, and I'm sure it worked now because I can detect light coming out of the lens. It's just an anti-static blob, how would I have bricked anything touching it? Worse that could have happened is failing to break the connection.
I have the service manual but I don't have an oscilloscope (which is necessary to calibrate) because a 'scope costs hundreds of dollars and this laser cost $7.
Only the gain pot on the pickup itself is likely to blow out the laser diode. Having the pots on the board tuned wrong won't permanently damage anything. There are only four pots for the focus and tracking adjustments. With the old laser, I already tried systematically setting them to every possible combination of positions (brute force being the best I can do without a scope) with the old laser, and that improved things enough for it to be able to play the CD audio tracks off games, but not enough to read the security ring and boot the game. I expect I'll have to do the same tedious task with this new one if it's going to work at all. Since I'm frustrated maybe I'll look into some kind of cheap oscilloscope solution like using a sound card or some chinese SoC shit.

Trying and failing to fix up a NGPC that had battery leakage.
It struggles to boot up. No amount of lemon and circuit board cleaner seems to help I figure a capacitor or fuse is roached in there somewhere.
I was doing a backlight screen mod on it but the lcd panel died as well.

I own a nice scope for work. OP really doesn’t need one.

OP is a power supply with obviously burned components, no shit he doesn't need a scope. Replacing a laser like the other guy you do.

Not retro but figure one of you guys would know. Got this ps2 that won't eject without a disc in it. It appears that the magnet on the upper plate won't let go of the spindle easily. With a disc in it ejects about half the time. I have no idea what would cause this. It appears that the cover is flexing but it doesn't appear broke or damaged so I don't know why it's so bad.

Change the band.

That's not a repair job, that's a Frankenstein monster. You can shake it too hard and it would lose some connections.

Pic related is a repair job.

there is no excuse you can come up for this fucking disaster. you need to face the facts that you're just shit at electronics and you should stop.
>>6110217
oh yes, much better. not just little blobs of glue.. fuck it: a whole mountain of glue the size of a surface mounted fpga chip.

Hot glue comes right off with iso alcohol. Not a big deal.

OP isn't adjusting a laser, is he sport. You're incapable of following a simple discussion thread. I very much doubt you're capable of operating a scope.

I just shook it hard, and slammed it on my desk. it still works fine because I used flux and this isn't my first time doing repair-work.
Try again.

Also, fuck your cable ties. These are uninsulated leads, mostly, so that'd be a horrible idea.

It didn't work AT ALL when I got it, and now it runs flawlessly. Doesn't even skip in FMV's. I fail to see how that makes me shit at electronics except for aesthetically.
Point-to-point wiring was VERY widespread, especially before the 1960's. Nothing I've done has ever been remotely as ugly as some old radios I've seen.

The Famicom's very cramped if you don't want to drill holes, so I was pleased with not having to replace the entire regulator/RF modulator on my most recent fami mod. Last time, I made my own regulator circuit, and it took about four times as long because I had trouble with heat dissipation (using a 7805 because the drop-in switching replacements are expensive; the low profile of the case precluded the use of most readily available TO-220 heatsinks).
Ugly? Yeah. I'd probably get a PCB printed if I planned to do more of these to avoid that. Some of the components are on the underside due to lack of clearance overhead.

video through what used to be the RF output RCA jack, and audio through a TRS jack that replaced the channel select switch btw
