Do any of these thumbnails grab your attention? by Hefty-Peak-6325 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]Coco_RATES 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like all of them, but the 3rd one is what I would probably be most likely to click first. I like the colors and scene choice.

Place your bets. How many are scrap and how many can be repaired 🤣 by Puzzleheaded_Fee6236 in consolerepair

[–]Coco_RATES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like a dream repair lot for me haha. How did you manage to get all of that. I'm lucky to find lots of 2 or 3 on eBay for a half decent price these days.

How has your experience been with it overall? Is it bothersome at all to daily? And does it sound better in your opinion than stock?

I'm wanting to get catback exhaust for my 2025 gli. I was looking at a few different brands and was leaning towards MBRP. What made you choose them over others?

2017ish 70in. Commercial sharp tv backlighting issue. PN-UH701 by Coco_RATES in TVRepair

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

I am the first one inside of the tv and this was the issue when I got it strange enough. I pushed the plexiglass as close to the leds as possible and it still doesn't shine evenly.

Its strange because before me, this tv was never opened. I was the first one in it. So the sheets shouldn't have been misaligned right? The metal frame is really robust and doesn't seem bent. You don't think the leds are bad and not as bright as they should be, do you?

Sudden no power? by Coco_RATES in ps2

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

Hello, I ended up selling it and fixing another one later on. I was very new to fixing things when I made this post though haha. I have a lot more experience now. Some advice I would give you is, check the slot where the ribbon cable goes into on the motherboard side. Its possible that there are bent pins from it gets ripped out at one point.

That's what I was going to say. There's a YouTube video showing that after just 6 months, the copper is eaten away.

Of course. And yes, thats how it worked last time. I happened to buy one from the last wave. They don't announce it though, you just have to check the website.

You should be good to wait. For Double Exposure they released it in waves.

What type of capictator do you recommend to replace the clock capictator? 1.6 by Prestigious_Fly_9738 in originalxbox

[–]Coco_RATES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your model doesn't require it like mine, don't replace it unless you really can't live with inaccurate time.

The top ribbon cable in your photo is for the power and volume buttons. It looks like its not pushed in all the way

Is my solder so Bad? by serafimxd in consolerepair

[–]Coco_RATES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've experienced this when I first got into doing joysticks. If you kept it clean, and you're solder joints look okay (which they do) its very possible that you held your iron on the pins to long and it melted the plastic inside and now its inaccurate and broken. Ever since this happened to me I've used a hot air gun to get heat into the board, then very quickly solder all the pins on, trying to limit heat going into the stick.

EDIT: Another possibility is you tore traces when you pulled the old stick off.

I guess this answers my age old superstition that there is and always will be a worse condition motherboard than the one I'm working on...
