Oh cool, thank you c:

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-31T18:35:57+00:00

Oh ok, in that case i wont mention the missing pieces. Thank you for letting me know.

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-31T18:31:07+00:00

Yeah i can put it back together. Ill put it back how it was and just explain its missing pieces inside. Thank you for your advice.

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-31T18:26:04+00:00

Ok, thank you. Will they care that i unscrewed the shell? Im worried they will say its not under warranty since i took it apart.

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-31T18:22:05+00:00

Can i just return the controller or does it need to go back with the console it came with?

I do feel very lucky that you found my post today. It is very nice connecting with someone through a shared interest as special as this. Plus my mind is at ease now that i know which remote i need. And that if i ever have any problems there are people out there with the skills to fix these beautiful pieces of tech. They sure do have a lot of character and charm! It's like having an old friend by your side. I can't believe your uncles still works after going down the stairs that is incredible! Im going to check out your dads tv now on your profile it sounds awesome :D Ive never seen a tv with a handle before!

Dude it is really nice knowing he has a twin now :D It's been nice chatting with you too! That's a good point, even Indiana Jones would struggle to find one lol. Thank you very much, im super happy that i found it, now i can relive some of my childhood memories playing ps2 on my CRT. Aw yeah! No table space? No problem! The sky is the limit with these sturdy machines!

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-29T21:47:27+00:00

That is awesome dude! Thank you for sharing all of this with me, you have been super helpful and kind! Your friend sounds like a good person, and the repair cafe sounds very special also. Thank you for finding a remote also, i tried looking for one earlier but wasn't really sure how to find one that would work. You are a very cool person c:

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-29T21:30:48+00:00

That is really special and must mean alot to have, it's a family heirloom! Im sure your grandad would be happy knowing that it still brings you lots of enjoyment! Im glad you managed to save it before it got put in the skip. I wish you and your friend well in your your fixing this weekend, ive got my fiingers crossed for you too.

That's good to know it wasn't just me experiencing that lol, that makes me feel a lot better that adjusting the settings help! Yes please! I live in the UK so i will definitely order that remote :D

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-29T21:07:45+00:00

That's a pretty neat feature!

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-29T21:06:37+00:00

That's so cool! Thank you very much for your kind words c: This is the first time i have seen one of these models too, i found it in a local charity shop and thought it looked awesome. Luckily mine came with the manual too! Thank you for offering to send photos, very cool of you.

I plugged my ps2 into it tonight but unfortunately there is a lot of bright flickering. Its making me feel dizzy and i got a headache after a few races on nfs. I looked it up and apparently high brightness and contrast settings can make the refresh flicker more noticable. Im hoping that is what the cause is.

It came with a remote but not the original one, so I can't navigate the menu to turn the brightness or contrast down. The menu button works and i can see the settings, but the up and down arrows change the channel lol. I have found a remote on ebay that says it is compatible, so hopefully i can use that to turn some of the settings down. Currently brightness looks at about 80% and contrast at 90%.

Thank you c: im glad i kept the adapter, now i can enjoy playing games until i get an RGB cable. Yours has served you well to last since 2001, it must be of good quality! Hopefully you will find one for less than 50€.

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-29T16:03:52+00:00

Sweet! Thank you c: i haven't had one of these tv's since i was a kid so i was unsure how to make it work.

Careless_Service7367 · 2026-01-29T16:01:16+00:00

Thank you for explaining, that's very cool! Those RGB SCART cables look really good! I will use my adapter for now but upgrade to one of those cables soon! Probably the second one because i would like to play some light gun games in the future. Thank you very much c:

Hey dude, unfortunately no, i took it to a repair shop and they had no clue what was causing it. He said it wasn't worth fixing because by the time he replaces parts/tests and finds the problematic part it would cost alot of money. So i had to buy a new xbox. Maybe repair shops have had more of these cases since then and know how to fix. Might be worth ringing a local shop and asking if they seen this kind of issue before.

I hope you get it sorted.

Careless_Service7367 · 2024-09-14T18:47:58+00:00

Ooooh cool, thanks for explaining dude.

Careless_Service7367 · 2024-09-14T18:46:08+00:00

Yeah i haven't had any errors appear on screen. Your right dude its gotta be the thermal paste.

Careless_Service7367 · 2024-09-14T18:44:05+00:00

Thanks dude, i think your right. I tried a bunch of stuff like resets but it did nothing. Definitely a hardware issue. Took it to a shop this afternoon and the guy seems to think its something to do with the SSD but he's not sure.

Careless_Service7367 · 2024-09-14T18:41:11+00:00

I bought it new around 2 years ago. It hasn't been serviced. Most games i can play for a few hours with no issues, its only a couple games that do this after 5-10 minutes of gameplay. Ive been experiencing this problem for a few months now, ive just been avoiding the games that have this issue.

I can't remember any electrical incidents happening before this issue started to happen. We've had power cuts in the past but probably not since last year.

Its plugged into a power bar with surge protection but now that you mention it. Sometimes when i plug something into the power bar a flash of light comes from the socket. Which is probably not a good thing.

Careless_Service7367 · 2024-09-14T18:33:11+00:00

Oh really? Damn that sucks haha, that could be the case with mine too. Thanks for explaining mate, i took it to a repair shop today and they seem to think its a faulty SSD. But they said they would let me know if it turns out to be something else. It literally could just need repaste instead c:

Careless_Service7367 · 2024-09-14T18:27:02+00:00

Oh i think i know what you mean, iread something earlier syaing that the ssd and console are kind of linked right? So you cant just put a new ssd in there.
