In this video I look at a SEGA Saturn MK2 that displays a black screen on the TV. It was sent over by a viewer named Richard. Can it be fixed? Let’s find out.

I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this ‘Trying to FIX’ series. Many thanks, Vince.

Thanks for watching
Nice job Vince. Hope your leg feels better.
If it were me I'd have another go at that solder bridge. I really don't think that's supposed to be that way.
Fuck sake dude, don’t use a grinder, use a glass pen.
why is there so much dust in your house. you see dust flying around. and also dust around the TV. Why ?????
Nice work.Congratulation!!!
Nice fix! Great find. Great when it's something simple like that and not an obscure chip!
About the pots though for the CD drive, in any Disc based drive, never adjust the potentiometer by hand. These are tuned to the micro ohm and should be measured using your best possible multimeter or oscilloscope if you have one. The slightest tweak to them causes a huge change in resistance, enough to burn out the laser in some instances. That's why we call them "pot tweaks" 🙂
That blob of souther undo it you noticed it before try undoing that
Now you know that it works you should probably use some UV solder mask just to you know seal that up so it doesn't get wear and tear

There could the channel Channing changing switch could be broken it be around that area of the by the looks of it to me and that's just that the first couple minutes of the video
Nice Fix Bro
Use a fiber glass pencil instead of grinding the board.. it's a lot less destructive
21:03 Hi Vince, was the trace below the letter F of FB9 any good, as looks like that may have been affected by the corrosion as well. Thought it might be worth a check.
Cheers, Dan
