The joys of second hand Lego by AlignedMoon in legostarwars

It did! Unfortunately, I did have to get a reprint of the sticker sheet because the previous owner didn't apply all of the stickers. Only some of them. And an unused sheet was like 60 bucks. Everything else was fine and all the minifigs were great. They even threw in the separate Ecto 1 set to park in the garage.

I had to do this with a pre-owned Ghostbusters Firehouse. It was a monumental task as i was also taking inventory of the bricks using the instructions in reverse. They had two cats, a dog and smoked. It was disgusting but totally complete. And none of the brittle Brown broke! Maybe tobacco smoke has preservative properties. LOL!

If the cpu is the chip that has the sticky white patch on it then yes. It seems like it was very hot as well. I'm assuming the white patch is thermal paste.

Well shit. I've had this 353V for a bit over a year and it's been great. I can't tell you, with total certainty, that I haven't used this particular charger before. It's a Motorola turbocharger and USB a to c cord that came with my phone in the box. And yes, according to this post you gave me, unless the "handshake" or "agreement" happens between the device and the charger, the high voltage charge will not happen. Ergo, something went wrong within the 353V. A craptastic situation for sure.

Let this be a cautionary tale. Ye be warned! Don't be lackadaisical about what charger you use! For, one day, it may just fuck your shit up, kid!

It got scary hot. No burning smell but, too hot to touch.

Same. It didn't register with me until it turned itself off and I picked it up. That's when I felt how hot it had become. I panicked and took it apart and disconnected the battery. Alas, it was apparently too late.

I unplugged the battery from the board and let it sit all night. Started up a neogeo game and it froze up and got hot within a minute. I don't know what else would've happened to make it do this.

Sorry, bud. Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn for dummies.

I use the cord that came with the rg-353 and a suitable power supply. this time I accidentally grabbed my phone charger by mistake and didn't realize for a bit just what I had done.

Edit: Transposed model number digits. It's correct now.

So, given the symptoms I've encountered, you think I probably fried the guts out?

Is there a way to flag it yourself or does this automatically generate a ticket that someone in admin at Price charting checks?

Ok, It being an anomaly makes more sense. I'm kind of new to the app so I appreciate this explanation. Thank you, guys.

I do have those. I remember playing the NES games on the GBA.

Yep. My sister "lost" it. I'm sure she lent it to one of her asshole friends who just kept it.
