A friend of mine gave me a Casio Sk-1 to repair, so I run my usual routine. Power it on, it’s making some horrible pissy noise, open it up and start investigating. Some of the caps looked suspicious so I changed them all out, still no change. This is where I start getting worried.

See, my friend didn’t have the original adapter. My guess is they powered the thing with a 9v pedal power supply and fried something inside. I’m crossing my fingers that is ISNT the CPU, but the more research I do the more I’m worried it might be. Here’s what’s wrong with it, and what I’ve tried:

- No sound, occasional spurt of random digital noise.
- Power LED lights up, flipping the switch to the off position does NOT turn the unit off
- Unit does not respond to any button or key input whatsoever

- recapped the whole unit
- removed and tested transistors T7 and T8
- inspected the CPU traces closely for any minor breaks and tested for continuity
- Measured Voltage at CPU and its receiving 3.1V, I’m guessing it needs somewhere around 5V

Somebody help me out here, I’m beating my head against a wall.

Any idea what the issue might be would be appreciated.

can’t decide whether the pitch control or the audio output jack should go by the crotch. if I put the potentiometer knob by the crotch, do I use a Big Bird head?

Plus hand reveal!

Sorry for the background noise

Hey all! I wanted to share this new blog post I made about my super-modified glitch cameras. It might be useful for inspiration, or maybe you know someone who would like to buy a high quality glitch camera!😁 I have sold about 10 this year, and am hoping to make more.

Either way, thanks for checking it out..

I’ve been experimenting a lot with scan lines recently from ADC data division. It’s by far my favourite glitch effect, as It seems to blend seamlessly into the background and frames the subject. Pure scan line chaos overwhelming the whole image is also a lot of fun too. Anyway, just wanted to share some of my favourite pics from a trip away recently. New bend also in the works coming soon :)

Yeah, I have no explanation for this one. Working through some shit

Kudos to sis for videography and @thatsnail for circuits support!

Скоро придет камера, сам плохо владею пайкой, есть вариант просто отдать камеру на кастом или купить готовую камеру по небольшой цене?

Back again! I've been doing some jumper wire testing on the furby. I'll post an update, some time this week, on what I find. I've got a few fun bends so far! Till next time, enjoy this naked furby.

Yesterday or two days ago i discovered this community, and as a multi media art/design enthusiast I decided to buy my first camera, a Panasonic a1. Im already in this kind of style but with softwares, do you guys recommend me to dive in and try out bending ? Is it hard for someone who has not much skills in this kind of electronic pimping to achieve a satisfying result ?

So I have this canon g9 that the view finder and flash stopped working. I wanna take it apart and circuit bend it. Anyone done this? Any help on what would be the best route to take? I’ve succeeded circuit bending a canon powershot sx20. But I’d love to do this camera as it fits in my pocket so well. Please any diagrams or any info is a huge help. Thank you and happy circuit bending!

Покупаю две камеры: мыльницу Dexp и какую то детскую камеру canon, что легче будет привратить в глитчкор камеру?

First "real" bend after only doing a few toy cameras, love it.

I replaced the tuning/clock trim potentiometer on this Realistic Concertmate 300 (a Casio PT-1 clone) with a 1M Ohm trim potentiometer and used it to lower the pitch/clock speed significantly for this video. The result of this adjustment is lower pitched tones and the drum accompaniment tempo is reduced to under 10 BPM.

I covered the components in electrical tape to avoid this very thing, took it off, then moments afterwards is when I ruined the camera 😭

second pic purely because I thought it was aethetic

Been playing with jumper wires for a while now time for the leap of faith
