The ps2 slim power button came off while I was cleaning is there any way I can save this?? I desperately need to.

So yesterday my ps5 fell because i accidentally pulled on a cord and when It fell it fell with the hdmi cord in it I tried to plug it back in and now it’s not connecting to my tv I tried the same hdmi cord on a ps4 with a working port and it didn’t connect either I also tried to use a different cord but The cord was Kinda old so that didn’t work either I personally don’t think it’s the port but the cable what do y’all think

Just bought this nes console, guy said it worked 10 year ago. Mario bro/duck hunt game doesn't work, but tested several games i had. 3 games i tested all did something like this. All games deoxit was applied. On the console, it was pretty clean inside, lightly sanded the 72 pin and board with 1k grit sandpaper and applied deoxit. The gameplay results are the same. What do you think it is?

So yeah... Saturday sucked lol. Got some repair pads and solder mask coming... Wish me luck.

One of the most satisfying feelings ever of fixing your first device.

My Xbox Controller was plagued with Stick Drift and managed to strip the controller down as my first attempt.

Also managed to fix the more severe Stick Drift in my PS4 Controller alongside a now working L2 button.

Can't wait to take apart my Nintendo Switch for a button repair and my Series X for a long needed cleaning.

(Stock image above, not the actual defective board) I picked up a PSP 1000 off marketplace hoping for an easy fix.... Upon inspection, the mobo is missing the top square contact where the analog stick component makes contact. There is no easy way to fix this other than get a new mobo off Ali, right... ?

My old ps3 cech 25xx no longer reads disc's I bought another which is a cech 20xx, was wondering if it would be worth it to repair the old one or just run the one I just bought and pros or cons to either? How hard would the repair be?

Hi

So I have a hacked V1. It works for typical things but I encounter weird problems when using USB 2.0 cables.

1. I can't write to the device using homebrew (ie. copying files to the switch). It just hangs. I can copy stuff from the Switch to the PC without issues.
2. Dock USB ports do not work. Like a switch pro controller cannot pair using the dock
3. Strangely, using a USB 3.0 OTG cable then connect it to the pro controller, it will work when connected to the switch
4. SD card works okay using a card reader.

Any way to fix this? Have multiple hacked Switches and non have this issue.

I am thinking maybe the trinket installation I did is causing the issue. It's connected directly to the 2 USB data pins, gnd and the designated 3.3V. I did not attach the joycon points since I use auto rcm but my other switch with the same setup is okay.

I was in a car crash today ( everyone and every kitty is fine just a little sore ) And my ps5 ended up outside the vehicle from the trunk and landed in the snow, is there any chance it will still work? Or anything I can do to save it possibly? I haven’t turned it on yet and probably will wait a few days to even try to turn it on. Any suggestions or tips will truly help 🫶🏽

Before covid started I had bought many retro consoles going back to Atari and Nes and I am having some issues with image on diddys kong quest two pacman world and mrs pacman.
the issue is when I put the cartridge in and power on the unit the game works but the image is all pixelated and distorted. contact pin or bad solder point ?.

I've got a sega saturn with the ks350-1401 h031/04 power board and the ac power socket's plastic is broken where the screws are supposed to hold it in place. Everything is still functional, but I fear that plugging and unplugging the power cable from the console will cause the connector to snap off. I've found out the part number is an EDK power connector with the part number AC-M09PB42 but I can't find any place to purchase one from. Does anybody know of any repo or store where I could buy one of these to replace mine?

if i already killed and got rid of all the roaches inside my xbox via using isphoyal to gas/kill them all could i take it to a console cleaning place or no? the bugs would all be dead but would they still clean it out?

I've tried to connect my Switch to another dock and it didn't, in addition to this, I've also connected another Switch on my dock and it worked. So, my Switch is the problem. What would I do now?

So, I managed to buy a used DSi XL 25 Year Editon in really good condition. But, there is one issue a noticed and I am wondering if anyone could help me.

Sometimes, when I turn the system on, the backlight on both screens flickers with some lines for a few (15?) seconds and then goes back to normal.

It almost never happens when I turn it on for the first time. But almost always happens if I reboot the thing (or turn it off and imediatelly back on).

Also, the very edge of the screens feel a little bit less bright, not like the "CRT", shadowy, or stained ones i've seen posted around, just a very slightly darker.

Those issues don't bother me too much, but I am wondering if they will get worse over time, or if there is something I can do to fix it. Also, would you guys recommend getting a screen replacement part while it is possible to find them? It would be just to keep it as insurance in case the problem gets worse. (They are getting quite hard to come by where I live)

So my childhood dsi has been having issues reading cartridges for the past few years. I have to insert and take out the cartridge a few times before it detects it. When it does detect it, it’ll stop reading and the game will crash/freeze after a few hours, sometimes days if I’m lucky. When this happens, rebooting the system either reveals that the cartridge is no longer detected or it still shows the game, but booting into it shows an error message. I did manage to open it up to take a look, but as someone with zero experience repairing electronics, I have no idea what to look for. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Not sure how it happened, but I need a replacement part for the wifi/Bluetooth connector (F side) for my PS4 Pro 7215b. The other ones are fine and do not look like this. I'm not in an environment to solder and remove, so I'm also looking for pricing too on a job like this. Thank you!

There's no disc in there and it sounds as if it's trying to read one. It's having trouble ejecting and getting discs into it too

Is there a permanent fix, or is the only way with isopropyl alcohol as a temporary fix?

Everything says it is charging, however i put it on at 1% the other night, and I wake up and it is still 1% whilst being fully plugged in. I have swapped my friends ac adapter with mine but to no avail, same with battery

Hello everyone I got an unresponsive switch from a friend, apparently it fell and hasn't been able to turn on ever since. I'm here to ask for advice about what could be causing this, here's what I know and what I've done.

I've opened the device, I haven't noticed any structural damage, the battery already installed is drained, I have a new one that outputs the correct amount of power but the console still doesn't power on. I've checked every pin and the relative solder, but the multimeter confirms it works. I've checked the power button as well but it isn't the culprit.

With the multimeter I also tested the M92 caps which I read online usually causes problems but it works as it should.

It has been completely cleaned and now I'm at a bit of a loss about how to keep looking for the problem. I can provide every possible photo you guys need, thank you in advance, it would be awesome to give this thing a second life.

So I had to use hot air to replace the battery contacts and the kapton tape i used wasn't enough to protect the light pipes under and they've melted a bit.

the wifi light is a bit smaller. Any material like sugru that can extend it a bit? Or are there cheap ones to replace it?

Hey everyone! I recently took on my first-ever PS4 repair. This console was shutting down after just 20 minutes of gaming due to severe overheating. I gave it a full cleaning, replaced the thermal pads and paste, and now it’s running like a dream!

The best part? A little boy is overjoyed to have his console working again. 😊 Let me know what you think !
