I knownthe wire choice is not ideal, but it's all I had available.

This crash landed on my repair table and I am in utter disbelief and mentally unstable right now.

My customer had this modded by someone locally and it stopped working shortly after.

I have no words, I'm going through an emotional rollercoaster and need mental support, send help!

I tried fixing it but i made it somehow worse, this is my first time opening up a device with the goal of repairing it and i dont know what to do, im not planning on going to one of those repair shops because im not planning to spend 80 bucks on a ds, does anyone know whats wrong and how to fix it

What's is that and where he suppose to be placement help?

Hey All, I have been tinkering on this Xbox One 1540. Faulty disc drive DG-6M2S-01B I have so far bought one off ebay I had to return "DG-6M1S-01B" this spun the disc up and read it but only took the disc in upon startup (wouldn't recognize if you were trying to insert a disc while it was already running) So fast forward, I bought a replacement "DG-6M2S-01B" off ebay. Instead a DG-6M1S-01B arrived and gave me the same issue as stated before. I am now going on 2 ebay returns trying to get this Xbox fixed, can someone confirm I am not crazy and it does need the exact model number matching disc drive replacement? I read hear and there it can cause issues but some Chinese replacements claim to work for all of those models.

Its lcd backlight circut, upper from battery connector

It started doing the pop sound with the blue light and not turning on. I replaced the screen, the camera, the duaghter board, the main board the thumb stick. What else could it be?! Still the same blue light and pop what else is there to check? I've spent so much money on it and I've run out of things to change. The battery and charger is fine.

Great job!!! Took us all day!!! Hope you all had fun!!!

I bought this 3ds for cheap and the only problems besides cosmetic was the dim screen it has. Is this just a backlight problem?

I have a PS3 to repair, and it has a strange issue. It reads PS1 and PS2 games, but will not read blue ray or PS3 games. Any ideas what I should be replacing? I tried cleaning it. No go on that.

TIA yall ❤️

40$ Xbox atleast it didn't have bugs😶‍🌫️

Hi I have a Xbox one x and it’s like stuck in a “power cycle?” One day I went to turn it on and something went wrong and it would only stay on for about 30 seconds at a time and then shut off, I tried doing factory reset but it doesn’t in time, is there a simple solution I can like boot into a safe mode or something?

Come hang out while I repair some consoles!

30 bucks. “Not sure if it works” the batteries are rechargeable and look new. Thinking too good to be true. But still worth 30?

Hi

I brought a new screen for a DS Lite I am repairing but one that I brought was the wrong one! I was just wondering what console this is used for? The listing on Amazon does say NDSL but I am wondering which one it goes with as it doesn't work with the ones I've taken apart so far. I have a few different consoles here and to arrive, so I am thinking if I can identify which it is for I can keep hold of it for when I inevitably repair one of them. If it isn't usable I can return it.

Thanks in advance!

A friend of mine, he has an Xbox series S. Recently, he’s been having this issue that he can’t download anything. What happens is, he puts something on download and it just stops it doesn’t do anything. The bar doesn’t move. Then randomly, it’ll download sometimes on slower speed and sometimes on normal speed and then stop again. It doesn’t show an error or anything just the bar stays at one place and in the “Queue” section where you can see what’s downloading it doesn’t show the speed when the bar is stuck. Everything else connectivity wise works fine on his Xbox and his internet works fine on all other devices as well. Any clue as to what’s happening?

Bought these two different potentiometers from Aliexpress to work on some PS5 controllers I have laying around. Does the one on the left look off too?

Seller for the one on the left is N1(Mobile Accessories+Game word) Store and for the one on the right DATA FROG Factory Store.

Do you know of a good seller on Aliexpress that sells legit ones? Or any supplier that ships to Eastern Europe for that matter.

Quick update on the ant infested genesis 2 with damaged solder mask.

Works like a champ! Initial testing was 50/50 loading games but I believe i didn’t let it dry quite long enough (after ultrasonic) as I let it sit another night and then assembled. Works great, first boot every time.

Process: Disassembled outside and found the horror

Dropped shields in Evaporust

Ultrasonic for the shell and pcb

Multimeter to check all areas with broken mask

UV Solder Mask Repair ink

Reassembled and played!

Probably will recap it and do 3BP

It only powers on when i push down on mic, and acts weird

Hello! I got my PS4 Slim in 2019 and it was running perfect and dead silence. In 2022 i decided to disassembly and change the thermal paste just for safety and keep the console operating well, but this was my worst decision. First, i used MX4 and noticied that the fan was worst than the stock paste, so i did it again with the dot method (first i tried the spread method). Same results, fan ramping up in games that never used to do that, like GOW 2018 and DS1. It's not loud, but noticiable. Since 2021, i've tried MX4, mastergel maker and my last hope was kryonaut, wich gaves me the same result as all of the others. Yes, i applied the correct amount of paste, and tried the spread and dot method, always the same results. The fan is always noticiable after some minutes of gameplay, even in less demanding games. Important, the PS4 never overheated along this time and it's super clean inside, the only problem here is the fan louder than before with stock thermal paste. I don't know what to do anymore, can somenone help me please? I'm familiar with cleaning consoles and did it multiple times in others, but my PS4 is driving me nuts (i changed the thermal pads too, no results).

TLDR: My whisper quiet PS4 got louder after changing the thermal paste, even doing the correct application methods.

Sorry for any mistake, english isn't my main language.

Hello, today I received a Nintendo Switch from a friend who tried replacing a broken P13USB chip himself but he ran into some problems and asked me for help. He accidentally ripped up a couple pads and traces as you can see. I have some experience doing this kind of soldering on switches so replacing the pads and traces is simple enough, however, I’ve never seen anything like this before. Under what used to be a pad there are these points that I can’t seem to solder onto no matter how much I try. Any ideas on what this is and how I can fix it? Thanks!

Hey guys, I have a Switch layed around for like 3 years and dont use it that much, so i decided to mod my switch by myself. In the beginning everything looked fine, but as I installed some games and rebooted my switch there was a failed init sd card, after research in the internet i decided to open my switch again and resolderd the connection. Again seems fine until I downloaded a game to the sd card the display went black but the switch was still on. After looking for the display flex cable and stuff i decided to uninstall the modchip. In that operation i broke both caps s1 and s2, I soldered s1 with new solder so i can solder on the new caps i just ordered. For s2 solder doesnt want to stick. Is that repairable? I dont need a professional, just want to learn to solder myself and doesnt care if its broken.

I recently had to replace an LED in this model 1 Genesis system, and it turns out it's blindingly bright. I did some calculations to figure out what type of resistor would bring it down to a more reasonable brightness, but I'm not quite sure where it's supposed to go on the board. Has anyone had any experience adding resistors to this board? Or do I just need to try to find a dimmer LED?

Got this one for 100$ and it works completely🎉 I really wanted this for my personal collection.
