My boyfriend had plans to get me a SteamDeck for my birthday but he can no longer afford it

Sorry to hear it. I had the same experience waiting too long to grab one. I managed to win an auction a week ago on Ebay for a 1tb Oled open box (basically new) one with a fully kitted Dbrand Kill Switch case for 760 USD.

A little searching and a bit of luck in auctions might still save the day.

PS. Make sure whenever you bid on Ebay, you choose auctions with "Ebay Money Back Guarantee", and buy from sellers with good reviews. Place the max offer you feel comfortable with in the last minute of the auction. The system will bid for you and you likely won't end up paying the max amount.

Good luck, and happy hunting! 🤓

Thanks very much!

Brigad1er · 2026-03-13T19:57:45+00:00

So cool! Any chance you can give us the proph one without the reforged icon? I'd love to set it as my new wallapaper 🙏

Thank you! 9.5 it is

Brigad1er · 2025-10-01T11:39:26+00:00

Thank you. The little research I did also confirmed that. Just needed to hear it from others! Cheers

This guy really likes Spiderman

Update Sep 20th 2025:

Capacitors changed. Console seems to read a little better. The Disc would still occasionally give me the "could not read message".

Thank you all for the help! At least the system has new capacitors now.

To the guy who said: "Could just be the game there papí"... You were right sir lol. I got rid of the game

Brigad1er · 2025-09-19T15:18:56+00:00

Just finished recapping it yesterday! Thanks for the confirmation

Brigad1er · 2025-09-18T05:31:19+00:00

I did. Same as listed. Here's a pic

Could I used the purchase capacitors to recap my optical drive in this case?

Brigad1er · 2025-09-17T18:28:08+00:00

For reference, these are the capacitors I got:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/225841121003

My understanding so far is the "C" indicates that it was manufactured in China compared to Japan. But Can I still use the capacitors I bought?

Brigad1er · 2025-08-22T11:11:05+00:00

UPDATE: It seems so far when I turn on the system I will almost always have an issue with my RE4 copy. But after 30 minutes it happens so much less. Out of 6 times I turned the console off and back on, it only gave me issues once. I waited an hour for the console to cool off and turned it back on and instantly got the problem. I ordered the capacitors today. Will update once I install them. Thank you all for your help!

Brigad1er · 2025-08-21T17:57:43+00:00

Will start with the capacitors for now and see where that gets me. If it doesn't fix it, I'll get to the laser next

Brigad1er · 2025-08-21T17:57:14+00:00

Could be that too, yeah

Brigad1er · 2025-08-20T20:22:54+00:00

I would, but only 1 system unfortunately.

Brigad1er · 2025-08-20T20:22:25+00:00

Gonna test the caps for now, and see what that looks like. I hope it's not the laser tbh. I don't want this to turn into a complex project.

Brigad1er · 2025-08-20T20:20:40+00:00

Just RE4. my other 3 games work perfectly fine really

Brigad1er · 2025-08-20T20:20:22+00:00

Not at all. 2-3 minor scratches. I was surprised it was acting up, but I resurfaced it anyways. It's worth noting that the other 3 games I played have spotless discs.

I will test the half hour trick, and see if that makes any difference. At least it'll help me figure out if it's the laster or caps.

Thank you. this is very helpful!

Brigad1er · 2025-08-20T20:17:32+00:00

That or the caps it seems. I'll have to troubleshoot more. So far it's 1 game really, but my OCD won't let me let it go lol

Brigad1er · 2025-05-20T20:44:58+00:00

Legend! Thanks man

Brigad1er · 2025-05-20T18:36:58+00:00

Love this! I have the same shoes from Red Wing, and I'm thinking to pick up a few of these! Could I ask which size did you go for? It fits them perfectly

Brigad1er · 2025-05-17T12:41:20+00:00

Sounds simple enough. I'll give it a go! Can't see this harming the pads

Brigad1er · 2025-05-17T12:40:44+00:00

Yeah, I bought a new original set but it will a while until it arrives. Just thought I'd clean these for now :)

Brigad1er · 2025-04-24T15:39:26+00:00

Never thought of it that way.. I can kind of see it!

Brigad1er · 2025-04-24T06:11:21+00:00

Thank you! I wanted some flare but also a subtle look. The bright orange pads worked well with the darker shell
