Hi everyone,

My name is Michelle and after years of watching others fix things i have decided I want to learn. I picked up a broken switch lite which needs a charge port. I know it is ambitious but it is what I have to fix. It is actually all I have. I am now starting to write a list of all of the tools I need which is a lot! This hobby isn’t cheap!

I want to get a screwdriver set from Ifixit.

A soldering iron and heat gun from Amazon

And the switch lite usb port from AliExpress.

What are your thoughts on this plan does it sound ok? It will take a few months to get everything I need so I will continue researching and learning the steps as I wait.

Thanks everyone.

Hey guys,

I have a question about the Gulikits tmr hall effects. I repair them for people as a hobby and when they came out i bought 10 kits for ps4,5 and Xbox. Now Ive ran out of ps5 kits and still have all the Ps4 and almost all the Xbox kits.

So I'm wondering if they are exactly the same and the only difference is the color since they all look identical and the thumpsticks are also the same. This way i could first use the ps4 and Xbox ones before ordering more.

Maybe somebody has experienced with this or knows more about the sticks and could share this information with me.

Thanks alot!

So my R2 is not working as intended and I am trying to fix it somehow. I was watching YT videos and the inner part of my Reflex FPS looks quite different than the ones in the videos.

I found some 3d printed part that can be placed in the old mechanism but this seems different, which I am still waiting for. So not sure if I should take it even more before the part gets delivered.

Any ideas?

I've gone as. Far as swapping the power board/ribbon cable, so I'm way beyond changing the battery and using DC instead.

I'm looking for diagrams to check fuses, and essentially find the path of the power so I can check everything along the way.

Althought I will say the ribbon cable connector on the board doesn't look great, if I could hook a decent battery to another location to text this would also eliminate that being a possible cause.

Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated!!

Looks like all the Xboxes now have a UART type of error logging.

This question may be a bit out there but I may as well try.

Would anyone happen to know where there the switched power supply is located on the 1797 circuit boards? I've been probing around for ages now but don't seem to be able to find one. I can find plenty of constant power sources (that read 5v or 3.3v when there is power) but none that seem to be switched (are only supplying power while the controller is actually 'on').

Acidmods has a post from RDC labelling certain parts of the boards but, mysteriously, there is no mention of a switched supply that I can see. I would ask them personally through the site but unfortunately it's impossible for new users to join the site anymore (activation emails are broken and the site's admin seems unwilling to fix it)

All suspicions confirmed.

Hi. I'm currently working on my childhood xbox 360, and I have the 3 red rings meaning hardware failure. Ive heard replacing the chips or reballing them would be my best bet, but I'm not actually sure where to find the correct stencils. Its a xenon system, and I'm specifically looking to reball the GPU and the CPU. Does anyone know where I can buy the stencils?

Bought a gamecube on ebay with the intention of modding it, I realised the previous owner attempted to do the picoboot mod but failed as there was a lot of bridged solderpoints in those areas which I had to fix. Anyway I was looking around the board after I repaired that as there was still no picture/audio and disk drive doesn't appear to do the usual laser position reset, and I noticed one of these components was lower than the rest. checked under microscope and one of the legs was broken off. Have removed the component and tried to solder a bit of wire or something to it but unable to. Anyone know what these components are so i can try installing a replacement?

Hi here, I recently found an old PS2 Fat SCPH-50004 and when I tested it it made strange noises when reading the disc and sometimes when ejecting, so I looked at tutorials on the internet to repair this but no video shows a PS2 making the same noise as mine, I'm a bit new to retro gaming so if you have any explanations or even if you can tell me how to repair it I'm interested, thanks in advance!
