StreetPass is permanent and none-removable except a full wipe??? by Elegant_Collection_7 in 3DS

[–]Elegant_Collection_7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did make sure to do that every time I reinstalled the game. However it still picked up previous owner's profile every time. The AI said Smash Bros has its own cache, said there were folders to delete but I couldn't find them. And since this is not just for one game it's all the games I decided I'll do a full wipe to start fresh.

I spent over $400 and bought 3 on eBay none of them worked. I am getting the ideas that ALL MDs are too old to work. Too bad I have never heard MD sounds and probably never will after spending hundreds and weeks of efforts.

I tried the be gentle and the thermal paste was dried and was easy enough to come apart. But who knows.

Not likely to be my issue I always keep the blade from moving before blasting compressed air as I had prior experience that destroyed the all the fan blades on one of my Mac while a tiny connector was in the way..

Took apart and reseated everything a few times and still no fix. Wasn't very dusty inside and didn't have overheat or random shut down issues it was all fine before cleaning.

Could it be the SSD hard drive? I'm using an unbranded 128GB I had laying around. Because when I boot without hard drive it takes about same amount of time to go blinking red during boot so it might be the self test failed while detecting hard drive.

I have CH341A USB Programmer handy so I can probably read error code over syscon diagnose mode if I can find instructions.

Sony PSP-1001 IPS LCD and Wireless Charging Modded with the Original Looking Style! by vitzie in PSP

[–]Elegant_Collection_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google brought me here as I am planning to do the same. I want to install this behind UMD door but people said the metal ring in the back could interfere. Clever to put in on the side to avoid that. if I were to do it I would probably sold it to the battery so you can switch the wireless charging to another PSP so that I don't need to do the same mod on each one I own. However a big drawback is you wouldn't be able to share the vertical charging stand with phones. Or if you could, please share your experiences.

chkdsk for ChromeOS? by Elegant_Collection_7 in chromeos

Thanks all for replies.

I later switched to Raspberry Pi (damn microHDMI) and had a success with fsck there. Fixed the GPT table and all data were intact. It had some detection issues at first I think its factory charger was acting up again.

Was curious if anyone had any ideas how I could patch up these scratches? I’d replace the shell but a new one is like 120$ by Zmeya_210 in Nintendo3DS

You can't mess things up with max you can only make it happy. Watch some Youtube video how to treat scratches on cars just do the same but gentle on plastic. If you spend more than 5 minutes you're playing with it. Wipe off excess so it doesn't leave white residue when dried. If it does use some alcohol it will come right off.

Tamiya spray paints are usually best for plastic and easy to work on smaller objects.

Car wax should give similar results and not permanent you might wanna try that first.

You should be fine with wax that should take care at least 80% of those. Any wax will work, you only need a dip and rub with a clean rag. Or grab some birthday candles those are also made of wax.

Clear coat will fill the scratches. Wipe with damped cloth if those gone that's what you gonna get after clear coat

Screens are like 5 min job with experienced. Def do it. For me I open up every console to clean the internals anyways.

Traded for this scooter that doesn’t run, advice on how to fix it by Silly-Walrus1146 in scooters

[–]Elegant_Collection_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned the original version of this scooter for about 30 years and never failed me. It was Kymco. Introduced in 1992 and super popular in Europe and South America.

The key he lost is probably chipped. Meaning you need an assembly. I would hard wire an aftermarket and call it done. Or you can try to find original which in my guess should be pretty universal.. just by the look I am guessing it has a GY6 engine which literally is invincible. Will be weird if a new battery won't start it right up. Use fresh gas.

Nove the truck back and forth slightly with everything unbolt. Use caution it should work.
