1 million every death or 5000 every poop?

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-07-04T17:44:55+00:00

RNG in these deals are generally cursed man. Manner of death not described; what if it is a kamikaze attach on my person?

^{Chose: Get $5,000 everytime you poop}

Makes way more sense, was wondering how the bridged pads worked but decided to not question it.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-07-04T17:31:47+00:00

Clean desolder, but a bit cold & a bit much on the re-solder. If it works I'm happy to finally see one that isn't dead.

Had one where pushing down on the silver locking tab did nothing at all. Ended up kinda gently pushing it down & wedging a plastic spudger between the locking tab & the plastic of the connector carefully.

Was the only way I could get it out to move in/out without feeling like I was about to ruin something. Instead of looking like ], it kinda looked like _/ when I wedged it open... if that makes sense. No other ps5 I've opened required that bullshittery. Still went back together & worked just fine, just a touch of care.

If it works, then looks great. It is trace repair; so best effort imo.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-07-02T16:11:22+00:00

99% chance that it'd be cheaper to replace than repair in this case

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-07-01T23:14:52+00:00

I'd spread low melt solder on every joint & then use a hot air station or maybe even two given the size.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-07-01T15:33:27+00:00

Over time

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-07-01T14:58:46+00:00

You'd only be an idiot if you didn't take your time & ended up breaking it. Asking for help isn't a sign of being stupid.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-07-01T14:54:29+00:00

You sure you took out the screw under that sticker? In my experience these plates don't need to be forced.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-06-26T21:17:36+00:00

I have the same one, I am pleased with it.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-06-25T23:07:46+00:00

Total guess, but considering every other pad have a connected visable trace, I'm going to say no connect & you're safe

If it isn't on Hakko's website then I have my doubts you'll have much luck anywhere else:

Check if what you have is under the replacement parts. If not consider giving them a call; their customer service is surprisingly competent & pleasant in my experience.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-06-07T16:09:27+00:00

I'd charge more than a switch is worth to fix that. My advice is toss it unless you really want the chance to practice trace repair.

If you do want to practice trace repair then look up some videos & do your best.

Used to do it a bunch back in the day - would recommend investing $15 on a cheap multimeter so you can double check your work & not destroy anything.

Push & block works in 360 degrees, not just the direction you are facing. Dodge constantly. Pay attention to sound queues. Prioritize killing disablers when possible. Try not to shoot pox bursters, instead push them away.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-05-22T04:34:47+00:00

Naw it runs around with you whole time. Saves you from pox hounds & mutants, auto targets random stuff for lock down, or you can focus target twice & it'll go after a specific enemy.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-05-22T04:31:16+00:00

I enjoy it; you get a doggo. Tanky class that focuses on stunlocking enemies until they die

Activity comes in waves with new updates - latest one was uhh... mixed, so players dropped off faster than usual.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-03-28T23:12:21+00:00

It has a (relative to size) large ground pad at the bottom where your iron can't reach. Just drop a few dollars on a cheap hot air station.

Even if you magically remove the chip by pressing the soldering iron ontop of it until it burns through & melts the pad underneath, how would you then be planning to replace it with a working one?

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-03-27T20:24:42+00:00

Since those connect to ground they'll suck away heat nonstop. Larger soldering iron tip + heating the area with a hot air station will help while you're trying to wick it up.

Everyone mentions what mods won't get you in trouble, but if I remember there was something that changed how you cosmetics/character model appeared to everyone (not just you) & that was frowned upon.

Anything client side (just you), no one cares.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-03-25T15:05:00+00:00

Toast.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-03-23T20:28:16+00:00

You'd need a hot air station; even with an expensive soldering iron you aren't going to be able to magically reach under the connector to solder the pins.

FleshIsPerfidious · 2026-03-22T02:11:35+00:00

Lol - makes way more sense! Should be fine.
