Megadrive Controller Blob Chip Fix?!?

GadgetUK - Retro Gaming Repairs & Mods 22 min Published Mar 2025

About this video

A third-party Mega Drive controller worked perfectly for around four years, then went completely dead, and GadgetUK looks into why.

Good to know: Any soldering means burns and fumes, and old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

The blob chip is the maker's suspect, put as a question, so this is a fault hunt on a third-party pad and not a known fix.
