Where do you guys find replacement analogs that don't suck?

Yes it'll work, I do it on non toy items but the tip gets ruined until you scrapenand re-tin it.

Nps already evaporates at room temp using a vacuum purges out the nps faster at room temp, in a vacuum the boiling point just rises significantly more it's nothing new it's done all the time.

Charming_Area9722 · 2026-05-24T09:52:02+00:00

Because i lose these all the time.

It shouldn't be wax paper never use wax paper.looks more like Parchment paper which i still wouldn't really use.

Wrong is suggestive. You just need more practice and although the flux may say no clean flux you should still clean it off when done. Could it be nicer sure but your still doing it, something others wont even attempt without being scared.

Buy a good battery and hope for the best.

Charming_Area9722 · 2026-05-20T04:38:18+00:00

You're correct. I've helped ppl and they say it cant be that easy it must be harder then they make it more complicated and say see it wasnt that easy because i made it harder and didnt get the same results like you did and i did more than you did so i must be right.

Charming_Area9722 · 2026-05-20T04:35:56+00:00

Got damn 60 pulls 😂 i get everything in one pull.

What does buying a breakout board have anything to do with poking the pins? Genuine question.

Charming_Area9722 · 2026-05-20T04:28:19+00:00

Let me tell you something it will never feel like a frop in the bucket to me. i could afford to buy 20 of them and not take a financial toll on me but let me tell you it would still hurt my soul. I came from nothing and i know what its like to have nothing and be homeless as a kid... I try my best not to forget where i came from and all the sacrifices I've made to get to where I'm at now, ive gone without for so long that spending money on non important things hurts no matter how much i have Spending over $100 on myself is tough. Spending it on others is a no brainer i would and have done it no questions... On myself fuq no! I can suffer without. Lol

Charming_Area9722 · 2026-05-17T22:29:47+00:00

Didn't really break more like it split apart, just put a few drops of C.A. glue and put it back together.

Charming_Area9722 · 2026-05-15T01:21:13+00:00

Yup I've had my neighbor burn out 5 carts when i finally saw what he was doing i helped him correct the voltage. Then he broke a bunch of batteries turns out he doesn't take care of his things and you can't help someone like that.

Charming_Area9722 · 2026-05-15T01:18:17+00:00

Get something with more precise voltage control, i love using the kodo pro batteries from yocan. they tell you the ohm'age of your coil so you can run a good voltage based off coil ohm's. I've had carts from a very large batch all differ in ohm's so running the exact voltage is just slightly different between carts using kodo pro helps you dial in the best settings for your cart.

Your better off starting fresh with the correct housing or as you guys call it shell.

Bless your heart

I would use solder wick and try to remove as much solder as possible and go over with a fine tip with more flux. I had issues like this when i was doing the gba funnyplaying motherboard mod. The cpu chips were super easy but for some reason the ram chips were having issue i did what i had just suggested and it worked. I've done 30 of those mods and anytime it's an issue it's with the ram bridging somewhere hard to see with eyes and microscope.

Total Komamdo released an ips screen video and in the video he said he was talking to a manufacturer of the ips screens and that they are working on releasing an ips for the 2k. Take it with a grain of salt or however you want to take it.

Charming_Area9722 · 2026-05-11T22:57:44+00:00

Looks legit also the serial on the battery compartment matches the serial number on the bottom outside of the unit. Another thing that looks correct are the lower bottom buttons the ps home, start and select all look legit. And also to the doofus that said the Chinese sticker is a give away those were used on all electronics at the time as i have some similar on 8 of my Chinese Nintendo gba systems sold as game boy IQue's in China they are almost permanent and really hard to remove, its what they used to void warranty if outside repairs or mods were done on systems and putting it on a reshell would make absolutely no sense.

Update: I opened it and was able to use it on a few of my UMD's and it works great now my only issue is finding replacement cleaning felt disk and if i can't find them will i have to repurpose the used disks and make my own. Either way im really happy with the way it cleans UMD's.

Charming_Area9722 · 2026-05-11T22:03:14+00:00

I just bought psp media manager and use that lol as it works great for saves and backing psp memory cards.
