I might fix it. I might break it more than it was already broken. I might even make it explode. Who knows?
A VIEWER sent me this Jurassic Park TINY TV | Can I FIX It?
This was sent in by Stuart to my PO Box. Thanks Stuart!
It's a Tiny TV Jurassic Park, erm thing.
It appears to have no power and won't turn on. Although pressing reset gives us a white screen...
Let's see if we can work out what's wrong with it!
Hope you enjoy!

Nice.
4:55 That is the contact switch for the "demo mode". When you remove the plastic tab and the contact closes the device operates normally.
We want to see you ruin the blob chip and try and replace the chip underneath.
That was a killer cover of Duran Duran!
Hey mate not sure if you will see this, but because of you i started doing videos on my own repairs etc 👍 really enjoy your content 🔥
I sell a few of those. Only made the mistake of testing on 99 once. Never go above 30.
Wow MPU6! Not emulated in MFME sadly 😅
I don't skip the patrion rap! ❤
Really appreciate you sharing the successes as well as the failures, Steve! Too many UA-camrs only show their successes & conceal the real challenge of DIY repair. It's especially important in these days of anti-right-to-repair efforts on the part of the corps.
What a bargain, only £17 with the £3 left in it and you really only needed to update the firmware. I've never played about with ROMs on the real thing, but I've used emulators that are a lot of fun.
Send it to Vince,he loves a challenge. He repaired tiny bond wires inside a watch!
I’d buy it. £30.
Fun thing to have. Can save money and take all your friends. I want one.
I always wonder, do people get there items back when they send them in? Or are they alway making a one way trip?
hey mate, I am in west australia, i have a psp1000 that has a problem with the back light for the screen, ive replaced the screen, and tried a small yt fix but got nowhere, would you be interested in looking at it?
how about adding a ton of flux then reflowing said blob chip? you cand exactly make it any worse right?
I really hoped this was going to be a fix! I know you can find the videos of the Jurassic Park tv' on YT but, it would have been interesting to see you pull them off the flash chip. (I've done it from a couple of old toys with screens) It's definitely worth learning how to do!
Although the screen connections looked ok putting the pressure on the blob chip could be affecting the screens connection as they are underneath on other side of the pcb. Worth a try?
Man i wish i still worked in this field. My tenure in the industry ended around the MPU5 era. Never had the pleasure of working with an MPU6. (And trust me, after working on the old skorpion boards this looked like an absolute DREAM to work on)
Now I know what Dave is all about and where he came from :).. "Hello Dave" :)
There was "Code Brown" for a view seconds I think 😂😂😂😂
Can a blob-chip be re-seated?!? - You know, just by heating it up for a bit? - from beneath maybe? - aaah yes, the infamous melting counter... that horrible kid next door to Woody and Buzz in Toy Story springs to mind. You know, that brat with the braces who's always torturing his toys. 🥸😆
Nope. The blob is a raw semiconductor dice glued and bonded using gold wire to the board and it does not use solder
@@309electronics5 Maaan, this "no way to repair" mentality sucks... Thanks 👍
In another video that presents this, he powers up the tv thought the remote control. Not from buttons.
Hello Mr fix and dave I have a cctv camera it was working fine then just stopped it is wifi and blue and cost £60 from aliexpress it works with the smartlife or tuya app but I couldn't get it to work Would you like it for your channel maybe have a try at fixing it Yours michael
Beaten by a blob chip, we are not amused.
you could try heating the blob?
Life will find a way to skip to 3:30 lmao. As if we would do that..
The board did flex a lot and the blob is quite firm so I don't know you'd actually move anything under the blob but certainly the board flex could be affecting any poor solder joints on other components. Check none of the buttons are stuck on in case that is and stops it booting?
Unlucky Steve can’t win them all mate 😊
aku suka nonton channel ini karena aku suka ayah ganteng
Now i’ve seen your address i know why your accent sounds so familiar. I’m a dutch guy, but my dad is from Bury…
try heating up the blob chip cause it could be as simple as a bad connection
I have four of these tiny TVs mine are Original batman, back to the future, south park and friends. The remote died on the south park one but the TV still works. I'm curious if you take out that 8 pin rectangular chip which holds the videos that are shown and put it into another one of these TVs. I'm also curious if it's possible to extract the video files and play them back in VLC on a PC
That MK-something chip might be a Flash Memory, so it's very possible that chip might be corrupt, thus failing to boot. It may need a complete reflash either for Firmware or BIOS (if applicable) so try to get another one and change that integrated. I don't think the blob-chip might be faulty, because, it's getting energy throughout the entire board, and most importantly, the screen boots but can't. Either way, blob-chips are very difficult to replace as most are microchips and not the usual integrated size you'd find regularly.
Clever girl.
Cotton bud with some acetone to see if the blob is soluble in acetone. If so, you might be able to get past the potting material.
It's resin. Your main choices are brute force or nitric acid.
Bond. Wires Bond. Nice Duran Duran-like outro. :)
"reflow" the blob chip (heat it with your hit air gun)
Oh man, only now realised you’re so near by! Fancy fixing a commodore PET? :)
I am enjoying your videos and your mannerisms in them. You are the type of person I would like to sit down and have a beer with.
Mate, the blue mat only costs about 10-20pounds. Time to freshen up.
Blob chips should be illegal. lol
Alternative Comment: Bob, The Builder: 'Can we fix it?'. Steve: 'Well, we can try!'.
Silly idea but something worth trying? Maybe the screen is coming on but may not do anything unless you press a button on the remote? Will it get anything (a signal?) from the remote? I'd assume the 'white' object is a receiver for this. If that isn't working maybe it's causing the rest of the board to fail? I'm sure it isn't but something is awry somewhere there, so what else could it be? (Sillier idea, try different batteries, alkaline instead of whatever else?). Further idea - also, perhaps silly, try to see if the screen is properly connected, it could have a loose part on the ribbon cable?
It pretends to be the real arcade version but then the red ghost goes to the wrong corner!
to me it looks like the screen in the back not the blob chip. try resolder it.
That's the tiniest Remote and TV I've ever seen in my life. You'll need a magnifying glass to see the tiniest screen. 📺
