        A viewer sent this My Arcade Pac-Man mini arcade thing in to my PO Box after it had apparently been faulty from new.  Seemingly none of the controls worked - no joystick, no buttons, nothing. 

So in this video I open it up, have a poke around, and see if I can work out why this tiny Pac-Man machine was dead on arrival.

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.
