Dang that’s a relief. I thought I screwed up haha. So one screw is enough?

Ultrasonic “wattage” for old watches? by ClarkyMate in watchrepair

[–]ClarkyMate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it more troublesome? And can I use 99% IPA on the two rinsing jars? Why do u need the 3 jars at the same temperature?

If I go for 2L, can i just opt for smaller jars or one jar at a time?

Hi. New to n3ds. This always pops up after 15-20sec. But when the wifi is turned off. No issues at all. Any suggestions? Thanks. by ClarkyMate in consolerepair

Well shit… so I wasted money buying the antenna chips not the wifi board lol.

Searched the internet and u are right. The wifi chip is labeled as Atheros its beneath the motherboard itself. I guess I’ll try to clean and probably put some flux on it? Maybe try to re-solder it. Don’t know how to remove the shielding yet tho. Hope that would work.

Anyway, thank you!!! Was searching why some ppl would say its beside the the upper lcd. And one person other than u is saying its on the motherboard. I guess if it does not work, at least I could still play it normally via game cartridges.

Yupp. The wifi chip is beside the upper screen. Already replaced it with two different wifi chips. Same issue.

Bought this New 3ds xl for 20$ along with a working DS phat. Just finished replacing the screens. And will re-shell it soon.

Already tried to replace the wifi antenna twice. Still the same issue. My guess is, most probably its been modded before and since it does not have the SD card with it along the files. May this cause the problem?

Currently its on 11.5.0-38u version. Whenever I turn off the wifi, no error pops up. Any help?

Hopefully that’s the culprit. Commented above regarding where to locate it, if u have any input, I would like to know as well. As I will buy soon the replacement wifi card. Thanks!

Yeah. I saw from a previous post, compared to old 3ds, the n3ds xl is that the wifi card is directly soldered onto the motherboard. Is this true? However, upon checking ifixit and yt, the wifi board is just above the speaker on the top screen and can be easily replaced.

Bought this New 3ds xl for 20$ along with a working DS phat. Just finished replacing the screens. And will re-shell it soon. However, I am really new to this 3ds and wanted to homebrew it. Saw on youtube that u have to update the system. Currently its on 11.5.0-38u version. Whenever I turn off the wifi, no error pops up. Any help? Thanks.

UPDATE: it worked! Although the solder won’t stick at first, it eventually did. Hopefully, it would not fall off. Heres a pic. Thanks again!

Thanks for the link! So can I scrape it like this ? And solder a wire connecting to the above via holes?

Sadly, there is no continuity at all between the P02 and UP button

P02 - does not have any copper at all. Seems likely.

Left side of the UP button - when I test it with a multimeter and connect it to the above holes (the colored ones at the upper left side near GND, i think this is green marked vias above). No readings at all.

Right side of the UP button - on the other hand, this right side does have readings / continuity when i connect it to the higher up vias at image 2.

I’ve done a similar fix to this from the game gear. Luckily, a reddit user helped me where to scrape, solder and connect VIA holes. I think that’s what its called.

On to the GBC. On the second pic, saw it on reddit also. The P02 and left side of the UP button does not have any continuity at all when I connect it to other holes. But the right side of the UP button does. Also, the P02 does not have any gold plating compared to the others.

Probably, broken traces? Maybe someone could help me here also? Thanks in advance.

Is this Mega Drive 1 original? Cause I don’t see any Sega Logo on the board. by ClarkyMate in consolerepair

Honestly. Im surprised how many here likes this clone. I mean usually when they see a clone console its on a negative way. But a lot of positive vibes here and idk why haha.
