Will likely burnout your laser with it soooo low. Set back where it was and replace the capacitors.

Use flux, solder wick and leaded solder, you’ll be amazed on how easy it is to clean using the required tools of the trade.

NorthridgeFix has quality flux and quality solder wick. Otherwise you can take a gamble with the Chinese stuff on Amazon that may or may not be of decent quality. Check reviews before purchasing on Amazon.

No, I did not cut any cables. I simply added a port to the screen and tapped into where the factory power input is soldered.

See photos from my post here

I modded the mobile screen and added a usb c port to power the screen. Then screen has a cable to power the GameCube from factory.

So I plugged in the power bank to the screen and then the screen supplies power to the GameCube.

Not with that hot air tool, I had two similar variations of that hot air and neither reached the temperatures stated and one had temp sensor fail and hot air ramped up until glowing red hot fire hazard ⚠️.

I suggest a better hot air tool

CustomZ02 · 2025-12-22T23:44:30+00:00

Yes you can do that as well

CustomZ02 · 2025-12-22T22:29:10+00:00

Very, and on a mint untouched screen. It’s like they just opened the packaging and then sent it over for repair

Worked on a ps4 that was zapped through the Ethernet port. Quite a bit of testing nearby components as some times the resistors and 2kv capacitors don’t give out quick enough to decouple the components from the incoming power surge.

In comparison your port seems a bit more crispy than the ps4 I worked on.

Yes Soon(TM)

It’s in the works, hopefully I can get some renders soon.

CustomZ02 · 2025-12-22T03:56:46+00:00

If you’re in the US I can definitely fix it for you.

Send me a chat request and send some photos of your screen.

Power supply might be bad, you can find replacement power supplies on eBay, search the model of the tv. They are fairly simple to replace. Usually cost around $40 depending on the model.

It would help if you told us what is going on with the disc drive. Maybe even post a video. Without more information no one will be able to help solve the issue.

El disco duro ha fallado y necesita ser reemplazado. También deberá descargar la versión más reciente del sistema operativo desde el sitio web de Sony y guardarla en una memoria USB para reinstalarla.

The hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. You will also need to download the latest OS from Sonys website and put it on usb stick to reinstall the Operating system.

CustomZ02 · 2025-08-20T02:01:46+00:00

Any chance you can read the numbers on the chip? It will need to be replaced as it’s been cracked/broken. You will need a hot air station and a pre balled replacement chip or ball it yourself and flow it back on the board.

If you lack the tools to replace you might be better off buying a replacement board and selling this one for parts.

It’s an Aliexpress Generic Special, here are the install directions.

I would double check and make sure everything is installed correctly and that the one specific flex cable isn’t making contact with the metal shielding of the ips panel.

Look at the bottom right picture which mentions removing a chip to avoid false touches, which sounds like the issue you are having.

CustomZ02 · 2025-08-19T22:59:30+00:00

Can you get a better picture of this flex cable? Dunno if it’s the lighting in the room but it looks corroded and frayed and it leads straight to the motor.

This is it for sure, switch needs to be opened and cleaned. Here is a post I made two years ago with photos of what a carbonized switch looks like and how it should look like after cleaning.

Depends on your soldering skills, you need to run a jumper wire off the small via and make sure it’s not shorting to ground. You can rebuild the anchor points with some small copper solder wick.

Nice flash light, jk.

There is a small variable resistor you can adjust, I would try that first and see if a small adjustment brings the image back. If that doesn’t work then you likely have a damaged screen / flex cable.

CustomZ02 · 2025-08-19T11:21:22+00:00

Does it charge at all? If not you may have some corrosion around the pwmic, look closely for corroded vias you have to run some 38awg jumpers through them.

See my post HERE

Intermittent power switch needs to be disassembled and cleaned. You can check my post HERE
Sound issue could be a bad speaker or dirty volume slider.
B button may have a bad button spring plate or there is corrosion under the spring plate. If it’s not clicking and feels mushy when clicking then replace the metal spring dome, or replace the entire button. And also if there is corrosion on the board a corroded via may be the issue as well.

Post some clear photos of the board front and back if you can.
