    anyone ever replace a Master System game battery?

    I can't comment on exactly what is the correct approach to the battery replacement there, but I remember once I had to replace a watch battery, and it was held down by 2 clamps with tiny screws. A watch screwdriver set is the only thing I know of that is small enough for those tiny screw heads...

    Made a major stride in soldering

    I have a radio shack soldering iron too. The tip on it was kind of too large for small electronics, and after going through the same trouble to get a smaller part for it, I found one in radio shack of all places, for around $3.00. The tip is small, andthe point is much longer and narrower. The...

    I found a mod chip for a 20 pin Saturn

    Hi again. I think my problem was that the mod chip was fried, either by design or by an error when I was installing it. The second chip I ordered worked fine, much to my surprise. It didn't require any jumper bridges or anything, just a wire attached to the 5v marking, and it worked right away...

    Odd Saturn problem.

    The thread titled 'How to mod a 21 pin Saturn' is kind of lengthy, but the people posting in it give pretty good directions, and the model two that is most successful is apparently the most popular one available. I am also pretty sure that most of the posters there give model no. descriptions to...

    I found a mod chip for a 20 pin Saturn

    Hi there. I have a second chip that I ordered from the same person. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the first one to work yet, and I am very busy with other things right now- so I can't get to experimenting with this one right now. What I hope may be the solution is the three points...

    I found a mod chip for a 20 pin Saturn

    I have not had any success with this chip(20-pin). I reinstalled it after cleaning the contacts and I also tested the power wire for current and it is indeed getting power to the chip. I am beginning to think that his chip may be designed for PAL Saturns only. I say this, because my box is a...

    Hey Crocchio. See this page: http://forums.segaxtreme.net/index.php?showtopic=13537 2 or 3 people say how they got the modchip to work with 64 Pin Models. They say they bought it from Jandaman, and Robwebb. But they say it doesn't play games properly all the time. If the English is hard to...

    I found a mod chip for a 20 pin Saturn

    That photo (above) is the same type as mine. I might have messed up before because I soldered the power wire directly to the joint on the top half of the machine where the 5 volts is (i had to unscrew that small circuit board to check markings first). It seemed a lot easier than trying to tap...

    I found a mod chip for a 20 pin Saturn

    Hi there. I am sorry for taking much longer to respond than I hoped. So far, I haven't had any success with the modboard. The cd player screen just comes up, with no boot screen before it, and the cd player doesn't spin at all, but with the words, 'checking disc format'. There is a description...

    I found a mod chip for a 20 pin Saturn

    Hey, thanks for the tips guys. I'll try it today with the red cable as the power source, I just have to figure out a good way to connect the two wires, I'm thinking of splicing into the red wire with the one from the mod chip, as I don't want to ruin the solder joint on the plastic plug with a...

    I found a mod chip for a 20 pin Saturn

    i found a mod chip at robwebb.clara.co.uk that arrived in the mail today. It has inputs for both a 20 pin Saturn as well as a 21 pin version. It also comes with an extra cable. Here is a pic: [attachmentid=1445] I thought this information might help those who own the older models of the...
