Nintendo DS Lite repair! I picked up a Nintendo DS Lite from a retro gaming shop somewhere in Perth for cheap. The hinge was broken and the unit and the speakers did not work according to the store. It was in pretty poor condition to be honest. Yellow gunk everywhere under the plastics, worn out, so I thought it was worth turning this trash in to a shiny new treasure! In this episode, I do a few upgrades to a Nintendo DS Lite including a USB-C charging mod.

Game Boy Camera on an Analogue Pocket! Getting photos off the camera using my Analogue Pocket and putting in a new save battery. Firstly, a quick shoutout and thanks to Steven for lending me their Game Boy Camera. Don't worry, no memories were destroyed in the making of this video. Today I'll be cleaning and fixing up the Game Boy Camera cartridge, adding a new save battery in to it and making it look as close to new as possible.

Making a recorded voice box using Adafruit Audio FX Boards to use inside a teddy bear! But with a twist. Firstly, a quick shoutout and thanks to Tom (No Relation) who won these 3 Care Bears in claw games and kindly donated them to me for this silly project! Today I'll be showing you how to use the Adafruit Audio FX boards in a project by making an Intensive Care Bear. Though today's project might be evil, there's nothing stopping you from using these to create cute little toys for children or practical jokes for adults. Providing you've got some soldering skills behind you.

Building the Silicon Chip Magazine Compact 12v 20w Stereo Amplified (Board number 01104101) which I want to use in a future project to convert some old bookshelf speakers in to some neat modern smart speakers. This is an amplifier that featured in the May 2010 edition of Silicon Chip Magazine in Australia. I'll be putting it together and getting it working in this episode of Procrasturbate Tech. If you want some detailed instructions you'll need to hunt down a copy of the magazine which is still available to purchase from Silicon Chip themselves. You can purchase the PCB itself from here: https://www.siliconchip.com.au/Shop/8 (you'll need to search for the part number, 01104101). If you're looking for the components to go on the board, I've put together a parts list here: https://www.digikey.com.au/en/mylists/list/YH2G3VNF2Q Though, if you have any suggestions for better parts choices, let me know in the comments! A few components I couldn't locate through Digikey, I got them through my local Jaycar store. These were the potentiometers and the terminal blocks. The required potentiometers are these: https://www.jaycar.com.au/50k-ohm-linear-b-double-gang-16mm-potentiometer/p/RP7708 https://www.jaycar.com.au/100k-ohm-linear-b-double-gang-16mm-potentiometer/p/RP7712 https://www.jaycar.com.au/10k-ohm-logarithmic-a-double-gang-16mm-potentiometer/p/RP7756 If you enjoyed this video and want to see more tech, repair and other videos of mine, hit the subscribe button or follow one of my social accounts below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsprocrasturbate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThanksProcrasturbation Mastodon: https://bitbang.social/@procrasturbate Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theoriginalzads If you're feeling generous, donate stuff to the channel through our Amazon Wishlist: https://procrasturbate.net/amazon #ampbuild #amplifier #siliconchipmagazine #adhdcreators
The Nintendo 64 restoration is a failure! The cartridge slot doesn't work and I can't get the RGB Mod working. I tried, I failed. This restoration didn't go to plan. Unfortunately this Nintendo 64 is well outside of my skillset to repair so I've decided to let it rest. This is the final chapter where you can watch me haphazardly fit this in to a new case that I got off Aliexpress.
