This Dead 1998 Pokémon Pokédex Had One Small Problem

A viewer sent this 1998 Tiger Pokémon Pokédex in to the PO Box with a fairly straightforward fault: it wouldn’t power on at all. So, in this video, I crack it open and have a look inside to see what’s going on. Let’s see if we can get it working again. Hope you enjoy! Steve PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.
