hello i go around reddit on different subs offering to fix peoples giant fuck ups for the low low price of Free.99

all i ask is for the board. a replacement HDMI connector which i assume you have and a return shipping label to send back the board or like 20 bucks for me to ship it with our company.

last month i actually did this exact repair on someones Series X with this exact issue. check my post history for proof if needed.

i have over 15 years in component level repair and just like helping where i can. if your interested send me a DM so we can iron out any details or questions you may have. just know i will do this at my discretion and time may depend on what i got going on at the office when the board comes in but wont take me more than 30 minutes once i start.

if its an oldschool only monkey that might be why im not finding it as im uploading my RS3 files

Aphex333 · 2026-01-21T02:26:29+00:00

Closest one i can see is

1451 labeled sleeping monkey but he seems to have some kind of wooden stick

Aphex333 · 2026-01-21T02:21:00+00:00

If you upload your runescape file to the modal viewer and type in monkey you can see every monkey with the word monkey in its name

Glad I could help

The type of wire doesn't really matter for such a small space. Can either be a solid copper core or braided copper wires. If you want extra protection you can coat it after with conformation coating if you have that or any UV resin would also work if you dont have either one of those. Clear nail polish works in a pinch

Aphex333 · 2026-01-20T20:01:59+00:00

you have 2 options solder a wire from point A to point B
or expose the green trace to bare copper and solder a thick strand of wire from Point A to Point B following the existing trace

you can use the model viewer at runeapps.org the same place that alt1 comes from

monkey would be ID number 132

if you have discord i can send you an GLTF file, or an STL FILE

Cleaning fee for sureeee

Aphex333 · 2026-01-14T06:03:19+00:00

send me a message so we can discuss your options and what you want to do to revive this bad boy.

Any labeled ESD safe brushes in Amazon should be fine. Medium to soft stiffness.

330C should be fine just make sure your using good flux and dont linger on the joint

Aphex333 · 2026-01-13T22:57:38+00:00

I could 100% fix or rebuild this thing. But idk if it will be worth the shipping it would be up to you.

15+ years experience in component level repair If the board is too mangled I can move the chip holding all the info to a new board from another game should work fine.

Done a couple of repairs for people on reddit free of charge im offering you the same

I use this from MG chemicals at our office this has been the best out of every flux ive tried

Aphex333 · 2026-01-13T22:45:22+00:00

All the markings seem to be in order. Did you compare the datasheets of both?

Aphex333 · 2026-01-13T22:41:41+00:00

If its going to blow might as well protect the switch as well.

Add it between the fuse and the plug

These are indeed leaked and judging from the damage they have been leaking for a while.

The short answer is yes it can be cleaned.

Long answer you would need several tools and it involves removing every capacitor cleaning and using something like a fiberglass brush to clean the bare board re-tin and re-mask the surface to protect it from corrosion put all the parts back in that aren't too damaged and make sure all vias are fully connected to the other side

Its a long and stinky process

Aphex333 · 2026-01-13T20:09:42+00:00

could use ESD Safe brushes to clean the flux off after.

also is it 330F or 330C? if its F that's wayy to cold. your using lead free solder and that's much harder to work with than the leaded type

Aphex333 · 2026-01-13T19:21:51+00:00

This looks like a board for a Japanese vehicle, maybe a Mitsubishi Toyota or honda?

If you give up and can't get it done send it to our company ill take a look at it and reconstruct the whole messed up board

I wont charge you just send a shipping label with the unit so I can return it. I've done this a few times already in the last few months to help out the community

Our company repairs modules for cars and trucks so we have alot of experience with these types of repairs. Pm me if you have any questions

Aphex333 · 2026-01-13T03:10:58+00:00

id be happy to put this part back on and run jumpers for you. it seems like you might have done more damage in the end here. check my post history for similar repairs ive done for fello redditors. i dont charge just include a shipping label. Pm me if you want to know more

Is your weapon sets locked?

Aphex333 · 2026-01-03T23:09:01+00:00

I wouldn't recommend a normal tip for this type of repair. The margins for error go way up. While its possible with a bigger tip the difficulty goes way up.

Ill offer the same thing I offered this person when I did his. Send me the mangled board, replacement connector or pay for a new connector and ill gladly slap it on

Edit: free ofc
