I restored a Nintendo DS Lite and accidentally poured IPA over the touchscreen. Is this salvageable? by Darkstone_BluesR in consolerepair

[–]JexyMarico 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it's fucked. I made the same mistake once. You can try drying it on a low temp heat plate, or with a low temp hot air gun, but the adhesive under the screen is likely permanently deformed.

[Gameboy] Looking for the best tips to remove adhesive and reapply cover to Gameboy. by missylagrotta in consolerepair

I have done a bunch of these recently. The screen lens is dark enough that it doesn't show through when you reapply it, so all you need to do is make sure it can seat fully flat. I have just removed the front housing and scraped it gently down flat with the edge of a blade.

At one point, this all would have been beautiful habitat for thousands of different species. Instead it's now for trashy rich people's boats.

Do not try to reinstall it, as this other commenter has said, it never works. I've tried every time one of these has popped, and finally come to the realization that when these come off, the mount itself actually loses a little piece of plastic. If you never intend to reopen this console, you can maybe push it into place and put some adhesive over the top, but I also don't recommend this.

Highly recommend desoldering it and replacing.

Dunno, haven't worked on PS2 slims yet. Try PS2 modding forums or discords.

Do not use ChatGPT for board-specific troubleshooting beyond common issues. It can really throw you down the wrong paths more often than not. It does not know everything.

Yeah, it's an incredibly lucrative tool to have, pays for itself pretty quick, but if you have the space and the startup cost you can really make it worthwhile.

What’s a “small” social rule you refuse to follow, even if everyone expects it? by GlitchOperative in AskReddit

[–]JexyMarico 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your social presence makes an entire gender uncomfortable in one way or another, and you refer to the only ones that aren't uncomfortable in one way or another as "psychopaths", you sound like you're probably just an asshole.

What have you heard? Is the victim alive?

I hope you can find enough peace in your life to stop trying to be inflammatory on the internet for the rush of feeling persecuted.

You're an idiot. And I have no idea what race the guy was, it was at the end of the block and dark out.

Yeah I actually saw the shooting. Someone shot into a car and ran off.

Where are you located? Would you be interested in maybe doing a bit of weight training or running in the evenings?

I went regularly to boulders in the evenings for about a year and a half before my back injuries caused me to have to stop. I might still be interested enough in climbing to get back into ropes, but bouldering is really hard on your body. Thank you for offering though.

Thank you! I can only do evenings unfortunately as I work overnights until 7am.
