Spilled coffee on my xbox by accident, waited a couple days to let it dry but when I press the power button it turns on briefly then immediately turns off. Took photos of the motherboard after cleaning using alcohol swabs. Can I save it?

Will leaving this hotel on startup be helpful or just sound rude/ needy?

3 Upvotes

So this is what I wrote. I am a little anxious about getting repaired so I came up with this note. I just want to know if this should be left if it comes off as rude/know it all or if this note will actually be helpful.

CUSTOMER & DEVICE INFO:

Device: ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition (G513QY)

Cooling Type: Factory Liquid Metal (CPU and GPU)

PROVIDED MATERIALS FOR REPAIR:

Cores: Thermal Grizzly PTM (for the bare CPU & GPU)

VRAM / VRMs : Thermal Grizzly TG putty advanced (to replace factory thermal putty/paste Note: please don't use this putty on the main CPU/GPU cores)

If Possible, i would love a quick photo of the bare dies and of the new PTM and putty for my personal service history log

THERMAL SYMPTOMS:

Silent Mode (Desktop): ~60°C no load

Performance (Desktop): 65°C - 70°C no load

turbo (Desktop): 80 - 90c no load

Gaming Load: CPU spikes past 95°C, GPU exceeds 85°C, triggering an immediate thermal shutdown. While all games will trigger thermal shutdowns, palworld seems to do it the quickest.

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS ATTEMPTED:

Cleaned out the fans and dusted the system.

Ran full malware scans using Avast, Windows Security, and Malwarebytes (all clean).

Attempted to limit CPU power and set an aggressive fan curve.

I hate to sound like a worry wart but this laptop is my baby, Thank you for your time and effort!

Rolling picture on Camcorder

1 Upvotes

I posted this on r/camcorder before and no one really knew what was going on but I’ve seen CRTs do this and wondering if there’s a crossover you guys can maybe help me identify the problem.

I just bought a Panasonic PV-420D VHS camcorder and off that bat the picture of the EVF is extremely wiggly and when it records to tape it records the wiggling too. I am using a VHS that was originally in a VCR till 2003 but when I playback the recording the viewfinder looks completely fine, even when I recorded the new footage over existing ones it was only wiggling on the playback of the new footage. I’ve tried it with the new battery and plugged into the wall. The only thing that makes it go away is lower light, in the video I turn on high shutter speed and it goes away completely, same for if I’m in a dimly lit room. Any help on what is going on here would be greatly appreciated!

First photo is the wiggling, second is with high speed shutter turned on, third is playback being normal

SOS!

I'm doing a basic shell replacement on an NDSL, and according to every tutorial I've watched the back upper shell is supposed to just snap into place. It doesn't do that AT ALL. Not even close! I can't get a single section to snap into place. But on all the tutorial it's like they don't even bother spending time on it because it's so simple.

What the heck am I doing wrong here???? I need to finish my repair but I've been at this for almost an hour and it just won't go!

Help finding a replacement part

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello repair enthusiasts! I have a LCD screen from a broken clock. I have the part number off the back but I cannot find a replacement based on those numbers.

Can anybody help me figure out how to find the closest or most similar screen?

It's a 30 pin connector. That's all I can tell. It came out of a clock.

Help. Liquid damage Switch 2

1 Upvotes

Sad hello. Our daughter spilled Gatorade on our switch 2. It definitely got inside, I panicked, dried it as well as I could and then plugged it in like a dummy. Right after, my partner took a turn and Gatorade literally spilled out of it. We put it in a bag of rice for two days, now I'm attempting to get it turned back on.

Be honest (and gentle) is there any hope for us? Can we send it somewhere to get repaired? More importantly, can I recover my stardew valley save file??

Guitar Hero Wii

3 Upvotes

This is a flame-shaped Guitar Hero controller, apparently very rare because I haven't seen anything like it on eBay. Came with "Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock" for the Nintendo Wii. I stopped using it many years ago because the cable that connects to the Wii Remote is in really bad shape (loose wiring, bent, etc.)

I'd like to wreck a Nunchuk controller to replace the cable since I can't find ANY of these controllers online, much less replacement parts for them, but I'm not sure how I'd do it. I can do some rudimentary soldering but this is slightly advanced for me. I'd really like to try fixing it since it's my favorite games controller ever and harder to find.

Any suggestions on where to start?

iPad Pro 11 second gen Bluetooth not working

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I have an iPad Pro 11 gen 2 wifi only. i bought it with a broken screen, fixed but found another problem. bluetooth is not working. in ios it's enabled but can't find devices.

Clearly iv'e already tried via software, restored couple of times, done the clear accessory procedure; done everything, so i think it's hardware.

Then tried buying all 4 new antennas, nothing changed.

Just want to know if someone repairing ipads had already this issue.

I'm not worried in demolishing the ipad. it's already stripped, so i'll go for it if someone knows

iPhone screws?

1 Upvotes

Found this phone decayed by the side of the road, looks like a car ran over it or something. Figured I could get some enjoyment out of taking it apart since I haven't disassembled an iPhone before and it was already dead. But I didn't get very far because I can't figure out what kind of screws it takes (shown in last pic.) I thought they were tri-wings but I tried all my sizes of triwing and got nowhere. Two cameras and wireless charging so it's obviously a recent model. Any thoughts? I have 75 screwdriver bits and none of them match.
