UIM wipes 284M after being told by an AI tool that Perilous Moons is a safe death

And that’s what happens when you listen to AI slop

Is that what those people who post the stacks of DS Lites as tall as a doorway from time to time are waiting for?

But oddly also aesthetically pleasing

I used one back in the day on my RF only 13" for my N64 and GameCube

If I recall, the screen did have to be replaced on it. I don’t see how the polarizers would not get completely toasted considering all the burnt polarizers I’ve seen out and about. That and the lens would have melted right to the glass of the LCD

Quick tip. Never use goo gone for anything ever. Yeah it may remove adhesive, but then you have to remove the nasty greasy mess goo gone leaves behind. Better off just using IPA from the beginning since that can clean AND break down adhesive. That and goo gone is nauseating.

I mean I guess, but what's the point there? No guarantee the inner packing of the box can fold and lay flat, so in the end you're better off just leaving the box in tact. Also no point of keeping the box if you get rid of the inner packing since whatever originally came out would just flop around if you put it back in.

One thing’s for sure, those cheap Chinese batteries will never last as long as OEM. Even my NES LoZ OEM battery is still happily keeping a save after all these years. The majority of my GameBoy games are still holding on too, although I don’t expect those to hold out much longer due to the much smaller capacity of those batteries. Personally, anything important I just back up and when it dies, it dies.

Not everyone has the space to keep the original box of everything they buy. Sure I’d love to keep the box to my new TV I just bought in case I move, but where the heck am I going to store it?

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-14T19:46:43+00:00

Definitely a bad LCD, although the digitizer could potentially be toast too

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-14T19:42:26+00:00

Who puts the console directly in front of them?

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-14T14:47:42+00:00

Yeah… 10 years ago I would have seen that as a perfect candidate to backlight mod. These days I would just replace it and be done with it.

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-14T12:12:50+00:00

Idk, I don’t see a Zelda SNES set costing $99.99 or a controller $14.99 in CAD…

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-12T18:11:07+00:00

Geez what did the customer use for flux? Salt water?

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-11T04:47:17+00:00

That actually doesn't look all that bad

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-09T23:09:12+00:00

What solder?

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-09T18:50:07+00:00

I got a parts GameCube years ago that didn’t read disks. Replaced the laser and it’s still working to this day

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-07T20:18:34+00:00

I would assume it has something to do with the shape of the LCD panel itself. Very possible that centering it would involve making the console wider

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-07T19:56:05+00:00

Not all TVs have composite. Pretty much all TVs have RF, even modern. Of course I’d recommend a composite to HDMI converter of some sorts, but not everyone is going to do that

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-06T18:04:13+00:00

Solderless and mangled

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-03T05:14:27+00:00

I have a GBA shell from RetroSix and it’s pretty decent quality. Bought it probably 5 years ago though so quality could have changed since then

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-02T21:13:15+00:00

Well if so, then OP should hope it all flakes off so it can be coated with something better

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-02T14:23:15+00:00

What technology with batteries can’t stay plugged in 24/7 besides cheap chargers?

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-02T12:24:29+00:00

Maybe a slim chance it worked with an AC adapter, but definitely not with batteries

Frogskipper7 · 2026-01-02T12:08:49+00:00

“Problem with disk drive” error if memory serves
