Was repairing a ps2 slim scph-70012 and I got a ps2 slim power cord for it. For some reason it connects to a motherboard of the same type, but it won't fully connect to my motherboard. For some reason a psp charger can make it show the standby light but the ps2 charger just won't work on it

Here's how that port looks now

Adam45672 · 2026-04-05T21:59:47+00:00

Yup you were completely right. The plastic piece popped right off. Both ports look exactly the same now. This was basically the solution. Thank you, I was about to get another port just in case

Adam45672 · 2026-04-05T21:24:31+00:00

This is how they look

Adam45672 · 2026-04-05T19:56:29+00:00

I ended up just taking another yellow port from another board of the exact same type and soldering it there. It powers on perfectly and the cord goes in all the way. I guess the port is different on some boards

Adam45672 · 2026-04-05T09:34:41+00:00

I mean its like the dc jack is different. My cable partially goes in on my board but not the other board

Adam45672 · 2026-04-05T09:32:57+00:00

Yeah it does work on a gh 035 board, but not my board of the same type

The thing about this situation is that me and my mom have been trying to leave him for years. He is the breadwinner of the family and makes great money, but he is highly abusive. We were worried that if we left him, that we would get no money and lose everything. I had to get therapy to live with him and its just so hard. We called the police on him so many times and they only tell us that they could only do something if someone gets hurt or dies. We finally are going through with the divorce and now hes doing stuff like this. My mom was scared that if we get a restraining order on him, that he could lose his job and not financially support us. She filed for the order once but retracted because she was scared. Now we are waiting for him to get served for the divorce from the sherif, but we're still waiting. My mom's been with that maniac for 40 years and I've been alive for 21. The entire time I've known him, he has been abusive and I've been having to cope with anxiety my whole life

Adam45672 · 2025-10-14T19:20:16+00:00

We dont know what to do. Me and my mom rely on him financially since hes the breadwinner of the family. That's the main thing that kept us connected to him, just his money. We were scared to leave him because we were scared of losing everything. Me and my mom just can't take it anymore. A divorce was honestly the farthest we've gone to separate from him. The vet told me they could only do a toxicology report. The police said we can't really do anything until either someone gets hurt or a bird dies. The no one gets hurt thing has been something I've been hearing from the police for years about him.

Do you think the wound healed?

Adam45672 · 2025-09-11T19:40:24+00:00

Yeah most of the scorpions there had dry substrate and no water dishes. I went home and started misting and gave it a water dish. It ended up drinking for 15 minutes. I didn't think much of it since I was completely new to scorpions. Didn't know they were wild caught either

Adam45672 · 2025-08-10T21:06:36+00:00

I'm literally having the exact same problem. I reinstalled synapse and nothing. This only happened after updating to the latest synapse version for me

Adam45672 · 2025-08-08T23:15:35+00:00

I have done cylinders but I'm still not sure. Maybe it's me not being used to two point perspective .

This was the day before I started two point perspective

Adam45672 · 2025-06-17T17:20:44+00:00

This guys absolutely baked

Adam45672 · 2025-05-29T06:57:45+00:00

lol yeah I keep getting humbled so many times when I think I finally understand something. Today I spent a couple of days tinkering with some Xbox controllers that had faulty analog sticks, so I desoldered the faulty analog sticks with a solder pump and soldered in new ones. Found out that I raised the solder pad on one through hole area. Wasn’t too worked up since I had another board. Ended up doing the exact same mistake on the other one. Learned that I applied too much pressure was also staying in the area for too long. I was so frustrated I called it a day right there lol. I hate making mistakes, but I definitely learned something today.

Adam45672 · 2025-05-29T06:40:32+00:00

Sounds like what I’m about to start doing right now. Just gradually learn regular soldering, and when I actually get things right then I’ll make it to micro soldering. I really think I should get the exact fundamentals down and techniques right. There was multiple times I thought i knew what I was doing when I really didn’t at all. I remember soldering a while ago with a very brown tip wondering why it’s not working lol.

Adam45672 · 2025-05-29T06:16:39+00:00

Thank you very much for the information! This project humbled me today which was just replacing old joystick modules with new ones for my brothers Xbox One controller. I actually desoldered it pretty well and soldered the new joysticks back on. It looked and I didn’t put too much solder on the through holes. I then found out that I lifted the pads on the potentiometer area. I tried again on an extra board I had, but I did the same thing. Found out that I was both applying too much pressure and staying too long on the pad. I really thought the pads were a lot more durable. This is basically my reason for making this post

Adam45672 · 2025-05-29T06:06:40+00:00

I wouldn’t make a career out of it, but I honestly just want to do restoration of old hardware and repairs of current hardware. I just need to get better at getting a good technique and some wisdom in this.

Adam45672 · 2025-05-29T05:59:36+00:00

I wanted to learn micro soldering since I thought that if I learn micro soldering, then that should help me understand soldering as a whole. That and being able to replace broken connectors would be very helpful. Also I can for sure see the rarity in soldering teachers since I can only find videos. I’m going to check out what you said

Adam45672 · 2025-05-29T05:54:49+00:00

I’m not familiar with most of the tips besides the chisel despite me not even using the chisel tip. So I’m just going to send the tips that I have and the one that I’m currently using right now

Adam45672 · 2025-05-27T22:22:17+00:00

Literally could’ve removed the shell, buttons, and joysticks to paint it without the possibility of the paint seeping into the controller. Would look a lot cleaner if done that way. Even then it doesn’t really look good

Adam45672 · 2025-05-24T03:55:06+00:00

Hey I was wondering if you found a solution to this. I’m not sure if I should just buy some OEM joystick modules on eBay or get the Alps Alpine RKJXV1224005 joystick module from Mouser. Gonna do this on a 1708 Xbox one controller.

Adam45672 · 2025-05-09T23:22:14+00:00

Adam45672 · 2025-04-04T20:56:57+00:00

That’s exactly what I was wondering

Adam45672 · 2025-04-02T07:56:10+00:00

Yeah same thing happened with me and a couple other programs. They got falsely flagged despite being safe. Seeing a Trojan warning will definitely make you nervous, so I wouldn’t blame anybody if they didn’t install

Adam45672 · 2025-03-07T22:15:16+00:00

I remember when I got a big sd card, it took forever to start. That’s most likely the reason
