A PSA: If you own a PSP, check on its battery! Mine was dangerously swollen and I wouldn't've noticed if it weren't for the fact that it was SO swollen it forced the battery cover off on its own. Crisis Averted!

Swollen PSP battery from the side, the bottom is notably not flat against the table

The GASP I made when I saw the "Hi-Fi" text. I just said "fuck it I'm gonna just use the paper method like 10 times and see if it makes a difference". It did???? I Fixed my VCR??????? I can watch ICE AGE on VHS again????? 🎉🎉🎉❓❓❓

WHAT THE FUCK

I wouldn't call this a huge success, but this is a good good sign. The VCR is making a kinda buzzing noise and there's a chance that's related to the Hi-Fi audio not working, no idea where to look next to resolve that though

GOOD NEWS: The picture is back!! The Printer Paper method did, in fact, work... But not after several minutes of not being able to figure out how to use the spray bottle (I still don't think I used it right). THE BAD NEWS is I'm back to the first issue: The Hi-Fi audio isn't working

I think I might have to resort to my hail mary fix attempt: Finally just buy a bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol and just do the Printer Paper method in case a proper clean ends up working. This requires the shops to be open and for it to not be raining, both of which are not true.

...I do not want to be staring directly at this VCR until it does something to this tape. It has done nothing for almost 10 minutes now. Is it fine now??? Did it fix itself???? I have no idea

It left little drag lines on the tape. Unsure as to what exactly caused this to happen, I will let the tape play again to see if I can potentially catch it

Okay so I plugged in the second VCR, took the top off and, I've chosen a copy of Rugrats in Paris as the test tape (because for unexplained reasons we own two copies). Played the tape fine but then spontaneously the tape came loose?? I was ready to hit stop so it didn't do much thankfully

After some thinking I realize there is a second solution... I could potentially plug in the second VCR in the house. This VCR has, in a little bit of testing, scratched tapes. IF, perchance, I can figure out WHY the tapes were scratched (and fix it), this would work out as an alternative

If perchance there are any big VCR brains in my audience, I am curious as to if this is an absolute lost cause. I like my VCR and I would like to continue to use my VCR!

Now..... Did I use Alcohol Wipes instead of the "Printer Paper method" as recommended by 90% of the tutorial videos I found to clean the heads? ...............................................................Perhaps! But Nonetheless!!!!!

The worst part? I wanted to clean the heads so that I could get the Hi-Fi audio to work. It didn't! The audio isn't even Hi-Fi!!!

Sad day, I may or may not've, in an attempt to clean the heads of my VCR, damaged the heads of my VCR. Now I'm getting no visual signal at all. I can now no longer watch my VHS copy of Ice Age 😔

Perhaps it is silly to write a line based specifically on "because it's fun to say it", yet nonetheless despite myself there are a plurality of these lines in the script
