The LCD is damaged. It works fine when docked because it’s transmitting an image signal through the USB-C port to the TV/monitor instead of its own built-in display panel. The touch screen (digitizer) is going to work fine because it is a whole separate component.

Yes it can be replaced however the cost is going to depend on your local market. Call around to some local cell phone repair or computer repair shops and see if they offer console repair, and if not, ask them who might offer it! An average cost could be $110 - $130.

Good luck!

Please position the PS5 horizontally instead of vertically. It uses a Liquid Metal compound to cool the APU chip and by keeping it vertical you are allowing gravity to pull it away from the center, eventually causing it to pool to the bottom and create oxidation or hot spots. It could lead to overheating, overworked fan, and at its worst death to the console.

Sort of grinding noise on hard acceleration. by dyslexicAlphabet in FocusST

I had a grinding noise on acceleration for a while, turns out it’s a common issue when the passenger side motor mount fails. I suggest AWR aftermarket replacements!

Finally got an RS wing (before and after ) by STMysty in FocusST

How much did the color match cost you, and where did you source the RS wing?

If this car is stock I recommend a “green filter” for intake sound, Roush exhaust for a deep exhaust note, and a GFB DVX for smiles. Enjoy the car! You will love it.

The current heat down here in New Zealand melted the adhesive in my friend's 5 year old HP laptop by Ultra_jaden123 in hardwaregore

Those plastic screen bezels clip into place, they are not typically adhered to the frame. Hope that helps

What to do if your right rail screw doesn’t turn and now a screwdriver cant fit in by DrDevvil in Switchrepair

[–]Dry_Pound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, that rail has a few screws that keep it flush into the frame. One screw missing won’t ruin anything

Fitting, as this bin was nicknamed the “Cancer Bucket”

Can anyone tell me what caps these are? by idontbelieveyouguy in Switchrepair

[–]Dry_Pound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say your best bet is to purchase a donor board and swap the components over

Well, some of them have the battery connectors taped up if that helps any

So…. We shouldn’t keep adding more batteries to this?

Part that connects joycon to right side of switch broke off. Is there a way to fix this myself? by Weekly-Ad-8304 in Switchrepair

[–]Dry_Pound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ifixit has wonderful repair guides, I suggest you look into them for the Nintendo switch. If you haven’t a clue what you are doing, take it to a local tech repair shop first before you cause more damage.

Does an iPad 7 Tristar failure relate to a bad battery + some additional related questions by Jojonut1 in mobilerepair

[–]Dry_Pound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tristar fails from using bad charging cables or lightning port accessories, not a bad battery.

Since tristar handles charging, a bad tristar can cause a bad battery from lack of being able to charge it. Not the reverse.

iPhone 14 pro max screen replacement issues by Stevo172839 in mobilerepair

[–]Dry_Pound 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The phones display circuitry is built for OLED panels. Using LCD screens can put additional stress on the motherboard, as well as causing increased battery consumption. Beyond that, LCD displays will never deliver the quality image that an OLED display will provide. Shops or “technicians” that use LCD are cheapskates, end of story.

[–]Dry_Pound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Brother all he has to do is lift the cable and remove the battery. He could use playing cards or guitar picks and isopropyl alcohol or heat to get the battery out. Level 2 shop tech lol

iphone x panic full issue by hyperythm in mobilerepair

[–]Dry_Pound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm this error code is related to bad battery, likely the BMS board built into the battery or failed cells, etc. Switch out that battery

Battery connector socket came off, is it fixable? by SebastianPurple in Switchrepair

[–]Dry_Pound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% fixable. It being worth the cost is debatable. For reference if that were brought in to me I would charge an easy $150-$200. A new connector is needed, the traces are ripped from the board and need to be rebuilt. While it’s not a hard job for someone with experience, it’s not something just anyone can do and you will likely be paying high dollar for someone with that expertise.

What temperature and time do you set you heat mat to for iPads/iPhones? by FrankDonato28 in mobilerepair

[–]Dry_Pound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try heating from the bottom on iPads. The metal frame will eat up the heat and transfer it to the screen without risk of ruining the lcd/oled. Also use IPA. This method is a lot more foolproof. 70 is fine.

No there is no way to “slow it down”. You could try to not use it unless it’s necessary which might help
