Hi, check out this video from The Retro Future. Elliot had an interesting device that allowed the GBA (Game Boy Advance) to be docked, but it didn't work. He travelled over to me to see if it could be fixed, so this is a little collaboration. He sunk a ton of time into this video so give it a watch and see what you think. I will release a Tea Break Fix later today, but my time has been taken up on another bumper fixing video which will be released later this week. 
Cheers, Vince.

Hey everyone, I am about to release at 8pm UK time 4 videos all at once about numerous different attempted repairs in my house. If you are interested in this stuff then watching them in the order they were filmed in would be best. So... the toilet one first,  then the shower, followed by the kitchen tap and lastly but certainly NOT least a uPVC window with broken security shoot bolts which no longer allow the window to open (nightmare).
These were some of the long list of stuff that needed doing, I have been putting it off for ages so I thought I would film some of it.
If these videos don't interest you then 'normal' electronic videos will resume later this week.
Many thanks, Vince 👍

Hi everyone. Does anyone remember this Amstrad NC100 that I fixed up back in October 2021? Well it has found a new home to live out its remaining years  @kiphakes   Check it out if you have the time.
Many thanks, Vince

Happy Sunday everyone! 
Howard from Dubious Engineering and the 2nd 'The YouTube Fixers' episode, did a little interview with me over on his channel. 
Apologies for the way my mic sounds and the angle of the shot. I was using the liquid damaged 2017 MacBook Air  that I fixed previously, as that was the best webcam on the devices I own. In hindsight maybe my phone would have been better. 
Still, hopefully you will enjoy some of the questions. Maybe you could listen to it whilst out for a walk in the sun.
I hope you enjoy it.

Howard is a great guy and has some very interesting videos (check out the 'jet engines' videos)
All the best. Vince 👍

Hello everyone, hope you are all happy and well. Anders who runs the My Mate Vince Fan Club over on Facebook is running a competition starting later tonight for my 1971 Nintendo Ultra Scope. You might remember it from an earlier 'trying to fix' video. It was originally sent to me by Elliot from 'The Retro Future' channel. It is, in my opinion a very interesting part of Nintendo's history, and is free to compete and open to members worldwide.
If you haven't already joined and would like to, then here is the link to the Facebook group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/174767147176946/?ref=share 

Thanks for the continued support.
Vince 👍👍👍

Hi, I hope everyone is keeping well. I have been wondering over the last couple of months what my subscribers prefer to watch. My channel has been leaning towards 'trying to fix' videos over the last year, but the views for each video averages only 5%-10% of my total subscriber count which makes me think viewers have subscribed for other videos. Could you take the poll below or/and give honest comments so I can work out what you like to watch. Thanks for all the support, Vince :-) 

Trying to fix videos.

How to videos.

Networking related videos

Connecting up weird stuff -Xbox to Boombox etc. videos
