Saving Two Broken Sega Mega Drives / Genesis!

Описание: At a local flea market, right next to the trash bins, I spotted two Sega Mega Drives (known as the Sega Genesis in North America). I couldn’t just leave them there. In this video, I try to rescue both consoles and bring them back to life through cleaning, diagnostics, and hardware repair.

⚠️In my videos, certain repair procedures involve handling internal power supply components, including high-capacity capacitors that may retain an electric charge. These operations can be hazardous for those without proper technical expertise and should not be replicated without specific training and appropriate safety measures. Do not attempt to repeat these actions without the supervision of an expert.
