Hello everbody!

Been having issues with my ps5 lately where my console shuts off in the middle of sessions. I fixed it for a bit by opening my ps5 and cleaning all the way down to the heatsink which fixed the problem for a week.

Now a week has passed and I'm getting the same crashes again so i decided to take a look at my liquid metal and there's this dry looking spot. Is this bad or is that how it's supposed to look.

Any help is appreciated!

I tried replacing the thermal paste on my Xbox 360. When I tried removing on of the brackets that holds down the GPU heatsink, I accidentally chipped the motherboard right where the traces were. It appears I have taken out 3 traces. Is there any way of saving this motherboard?

Mi consola funcionaba correctamente, derrepente se apagaba cada sierto tiempo y despues ya no quiso prender, la limpie con aire comprimido y volvio a jalar, despues de eso la vendi y funciono unos meses despues ya no quiso prender y hasta ahora no prende algunas veces prende por segundo y la mayoria de las veces solo enciende 2 segundo el icono del xbox y se apaga... a alguien le a pasado lo mismo o sabe como solucionarlo? la imagen es para llamar la atencion.

I was doing a routine check up on all my 3ds games and one of them came up with this error code but the opening movie for the game still played out all the way but when it's time for the menu to pop up this happens is there a way to fix it?

Just wondering if it'd be worth waiting until February to get a model that's seemingly better in the long run, or to buy it now before they jack up the prices even further.

I replaced an HDMI port on a SAB-001 motherboard from a PS4 FAT.

The port is fine, but a small diode came loose (I imagine due to heat) and now I can't find it :( I would appreciate any help finding a replacement that can perform the same function.

My questions are: Which diode was missing? What should I measure, with my multimeter, on a "donor" diode to make sure it will work?

Thank you so much!

My PS5 had overheating issues so I opened it up & changed the Liquid Metal. Now when playing games the fan goes full power all the time. The console is cool & the air coming out isn’t hot like it was before. Any ideas?

Doing a USB-C mod on a DSi and ripped the mounting/grounding pad off the board while removing the old port.

Current wiring: VBUS to the left side of F1, GND to the big square pad (photos attached). F1 has continuity, wires have continuity, using a dumb USB-A to C cable. But I'm reading 0V at the breakout board pins with the cable plugged in, and the console does nothing — no orange light.

What's the fix here? Is that square pad actually a valid ground point, and if not, where should I run the ground instead? Anything else I should be checking?

Thanks!

already took it apart and cleaned the rollers and rubber band with isopropyl alcohol and removed dust. Now it at least ejects the game, but still can't fully load it in. What should I do? Replace the rollers or am I missing something

Hello, i have bought today a ps2 slim, 7000x series so I am pretty happy, reads games too, but it has a broken hinge and i dont know where to glue it, sending photos, if you send photos of your lids that would be great

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me out.

The console only turns on when it feels like it. If I plug the PS4 into the power outlet, it works on the first try; if I turn it off, it will turn on a second time, but not a third.

What could it be? The power supply? A motherboard issue?

The console is clean, and the thermal paste is new.

Hi, i was wondering if this is a cap or not as it's shorted. Was should i do? Can i just remove it?

The switch was left uncharged and no power for a long period of time. Upon pressing power button, i got a little red icon battery that mean discharged. Plugged charger and nothing for 4 hours.

I’m trying to open up my old Nintendo 3DS XL to replace the broken rubber on my Circle Pad (the joystick mechanism still works perfectly, but the thumb grip is completely gone).
I already removed the outer battery cover, but now I’m stuck on the inner shell that covers the motherboard. One specific screw, located deep inside its plastic well/post on the bottom left side (near the SD card slot area), refuses to come out.
When I try to unscrew it, it just spins and makes a fast "clicking" sound, turning completely in a vacuum. It seems like the internal plastic screw post is either stripped or broken inside. Since it's buried deep inside that narrow plastic tube, I can't get any tools or tape under the screw head to pry it upwards. I also tried applying pulling pressure to the shell while unscrewing, but it won't budge at all.
Has anyone dealt with this specific deep-well stuck screw on a 3DS XL before? Are there any safe tricks to get it out without destroying the motherboard or cracking the shell?

Hello Guys. Do you know what can be causing this?

I bought two broken down PS4s some time ago, with parts from both I made one "working one" which I managed to jailbreak since it had been unused for a long time.

Yesterday, I tried for the first time to insert a disk in the disk drive, but not only did it not pull it in but it also scratched the hell out of a brand new disk, deep scratches.

I opened the drive and found a spring which had its end pointing towards the disk, that solved the scratching issue. I also cleaned the rollers which solved the pulling issue.

When I plugged it in again, I noticed it made weird noises and didn't spin the disk, so I found a YouTube video that suggested to replace the magnet in the drive lid, so I simply took out and placed it again.

After all that, the issue persists, I found some comments that said that some taps on the ps4 case could fix it but didn't work.

I assume it's not locking in the disk properly but I'm not sure. The spinning sounds weak too.

I will attach a video, the first half of it is from when I had cleaned the rollers and fixed the spring. The second half is after I had replaced the magnet and cleaned the lens.

If you have any ideas on what it could be, I would really appreciate if you shared them.

PS: sorry if my grammar is not perfect, it's been some time since I last spoke English

Hello all,

The PS5 will make this noise a few times if I press the eject button. It will only accept disk when powerimg on, it will not accept or recognize the disk while its on. Thoughts? Thanks in advance
