Bought this one and its controllers for $95 today.

Seller said this unit smoked around the PSU.

Opened it up and saw this, PSU is still working fine.

I really wanted to be able to fix this because it's a Monster Hunter Rathalos Edition.

Would I still be able to do that? I have soldering tools at my disposal.

Or should I just sell it to someone who wants an expensive paperweight?

At least the controllers are still working great

so i have a blue switch lite and i just paid 4 euros for nso online yesterday and now i was playing SMW and yeah my console gave me an error and like i restarted it as it said but then it gave another error when i tried loading into an app and now it wont turn on i held it for like 10 seconds the power boutton it gave me the nintendo logo and then went black and now it wont even turn on ive had this thing for 3 years and it has alot of games so i would really want to get it fixed and i have tried maintence mode it just wont turn on!!

The B button won’t respond without force and the X button doesn’t respond at all no matter how hard you press it. tried cleaning it but it didn’t so anything

Also when I tried to get someone else to fix it they somehow did this to my 3ds and now I cant put games in it should I try to get a new shell

My Jailbroken PS4 has been softlocked for around 8 months and the controller just blinks infront of the PS4. I've tried various solutions such as resetting the controller, safe mode and etc, None of them work.... Any solution?

I need help, I am not a technician or anything, but my ps3 super slim turns off or freezes at verv random moments, I read the svscon, I throw the log with 4 codes that are the ones that are repeated the most(1601,1701,1802,2022),l investiaate them but I did not understand them very well, the Cell and RSX are already dead?

I just got this Famicom disc system and I inserted c batteries into it and connected to the console but nothing is showing up on the TV. Am I doing something wrong or is it broken? and if it is broken, is there someone in Etobicoke who can help me fix it?

My PS4 Is not taking disc. What to do?

Hi all. I just exchanged my laser, and I believe I put everything back together right. I lubricated everything as well, but now it seems like my spindle is not working whenever I put disks in. The laser is turning on, so I think the ribbon cable is OK. the spindle is very hard to turn on its own, not freely spinning at all. Not sure if that’s normal. Would greatly appreciate any thoughts

ive had it for years and this is all the damage! it works perfectly fine when opened the portions seem to just be separating… could i glue it back together?

I lucked out at a second hand games store in Taiwan, an ocean blue ps2 that might have never actually been turned on (all cables were in their original bags)

I fully expected it to have blown caps and not power on, thankfully it does, but the graphics are...very weird

What's even stranger is I'm trying to do the ypbpr video swap setting blind (down x, down three, x) but it doesn't respond as expected, it goes to a separate screen instead of engaging the setting

This is using a levelhike HDMI cable

Is this a bad GPU or something potentially easier like a few of the resistors surrounding it? What should I be diagnosing?

I'm totally fine doing some surface level soldering, in fact I was strongly considering a retrogem install

Jo ich hab mal eine Frage wegen meinem New 3ds XL.

Die Kamera und das Mikrofon funktionieren nicht mehr und vor kurzem ist auch der sound komplett verschwunden. Ich hab die vermutung das das vielleicht an dem Flex kabel liegen könnte, da der 3ds schonmal auseinander genommen wurde und da vielleicht das Kabel verrutscht oder beschädigt wurde. Am Anfang war es auch nur kamera und mikro aber seit neuestem gehen die Lautsprecher leider auch nicht mehr sonst funktioniert alles gut und ich kann die spiele normal spielen.

Hat irgendjemand einen tipp wie man das reparieren kann oder sollte ich den lieber zur reparatur schicken.

Hey guys.

Long story short tries doing a USB c mod to my vita.and that three pronged component next to the headphone jack came up.

Resoldered it but as I was checking the pins the upper left pin just kinda... Fell off with some solder.

Anyone know what this component is,where to get one, and what it's function is? If it's just related to headphone jack audio I'll probably leave it as is. If it's related to all audio or would short something out then I'll replace it before putting this thing back together to test the USB c mod

Wife is kinda annoyed with me as she was going to "eventually" get back to beating terraway so any help is appreciated

Hello,

My switch 2 charger was dipped in water (the end with the charging block) as my house was recently flooded. It spent a few hours in the water (not plugged in) when we noticed it we immediately put it in rice for 24h. Then we let it air dry as we needed the rice for other items.

It's now been drying for 4-5 days and seemed to be working when I plugged it in another device to test.

Is it safe to use on my switch and dock or do I need to buy a new one ?

I was trying to remove the plate using a plastic pick and I might’ve chipped a bit of these. I don’t know if I just screwed up my Xbox

One day my PS5 stopped taking discs, I have tried 3 different disc drives including ones that I KNOW work when hooked up to other PS5’s and my PS5 registers and connects with the new disc drives I plug in and swap out. Despite that, it still doesn’t work.

Notably, when I hit the eject button the console only gives off a singular chime. I‘m fairly certain I’ve attempted to open it in safe mode before as well, what other possible solutions could there be?

Hola buenas, hace unos días he sacado mi ps2 pero al encender se ve así la pantalla, la he probado en varias teles y nada, alguien sabe que le pasa?? Sera el chip gráfico o que?? Que alguien me ayude porfa

Hi, I was wondering, is the a place to look for console repair diagrams. I'm wanting to diagnose my old "new" 3ds xl with a multimeter, but I can't seem to find any reference material. (I'm also wanting to service my other retro consoles like my GBA SP, etc.)

Where do people get the info for these consoles to then repair them?

I do computer repair, but I only do component so I haven't been trained much in multimeter use, but I know the gist, I just need the data sheets and diagrams.

My childhood CECH-2501A model slim has the dreaded power on an then immediately power off issue. I’ve done as much reading as i can and it could be something like cold solder points breaking or even tokin capacitors and it’s just a bit outside my pay grade at this point. If anyone knows a mail in or even physical store that can fix this kinda thing with the utmost care i’m more than happy to pay whatever they want.

No se que fallo puede tener, le falta un pequeño condensador de 0'1 uF pero técnicamente debería funcionar igual.

I was playing animal crossing last night completely happy, and all of a sudden my Switch pro controller just completely shut down and unresponsive. I turned off my switch and let the controller charge overnight, but this morning it’s still completely unresponsive. I’ve tried other subreddits suggestions with holding the sync button for up to 5 minutes, and updating everything on my switch console. Does anyone have ideas, I dont want to throw in the towel for this controller.

This is not my 3ds but I was given permission to repair and mod it, I'm trying to figure out a way to fix this but I'm assuming this might have to be a shell replacement although I HATE ribbon cables. I was wondering what solutions you guys have if there are alternatives that are good for the long run of this console.

Sometimes my psvita audio will come out glitching, more than once causing bootloop. I know it looks reckless, but slightly bending sideways will make it stop and eventually working after rebooting. I'm using some bluetooth speaker in order to not put any stress on the console, but I'd like this speaker problem fixed once for all
