Flash Multicart for SABA Videoplay (Fairchild Channel-F)

September 5th, 2024 6 comments
Flash Multicart for SABA Videoplay (Fairchild Channel-F)

This is a Flash cart (Pico-Multicart) for SABA Videoplay by Andrea Ottaviani.

This is a forked version of 3DMaze PicoVideocart for using a cheaper and simpler pcb based on pico “Purple” clone and using its 16mb flash for storing games instead of the original SDCard.

How much i paid for the SABA Videoplay Pico-Multicart?

  • 1 x RP2040 Pi Pico Purple : €2.69
  • 1 x JLCPCB PCB : €3.00
  • 1 x DIODE 1N4148 / Resistor 330Ohm / Push Button / LED : €2.00 +/-

More or less for each single SABA Videoplay Pico-Multicart complete with all the components you will spend €7.69.

The price of each component also includes the cost of shipping and customs clearance.

Below you will find the photos of how i repositioned the LED and the BUTTON, i preferred to install both in this position rather than on the back of the cartridge (default position of the PCB).

Another thing i want to say is to solder the Pi Pico Purple as close as possible to the PCB, i soldered the strips and then removed the plastic holder, this is to avoid you having difficulty closing the cartridge case.

You can also download the cartridge label (front and back), firmware and games in UF2 format, the games must be programmed first and then the firmware.

Philips Monitor VS0060-80 (CM8833/1084) PSU Repair

July 28th, 2024 No comments
Philips Monitor VS0060-80 (CM8833/1084) PSU Repair

Philips Monitor (Black) VG0060-80 Power Stage Repair, the Monitor turned off unexpectedly without any suspicious noise.

This power stage is practically identical to other monitor models, for example: Philips CM8833 and Commodore 1084, but surely there will be others that mount the same power stage.

Repair:

After removing the PCB of the power stage i took the opportunity to replace also the power switch that no longer worked properly i also replaced the exploded fuse but obviously nothing worked.

The fault was due to the TS132 transistor completely short-circuited, the diagram says that a BU806 is installed but instead a 2SC3795B is installed.

Replaced, still nothing works, i tried with the tester but i don’t find any voltage, even the 300v +/- on the capacitor C112 at this point in addition to the diode bridge (D107/D108/D109/D110) there was only the 47 Ohm 7W resistor R103 to try and in fact it was interrupted, i replaced it with a 5W one, i didn’t have a 7W one in the lab.

I used the old trick of the 100W bulb in series, in my case instead of the fuse to avoid destroying other components.

Everything worked perfectly, the bulb turned on for a minimum amount of time and then turned off and the output voltages of the power stage are all present (125v/15.8v/25.5v).
