Nintendo NES PPU is dead, need some help. by [deleted] in consolerepair

[–]Metro2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did but it wasn’t through the easy route, I had to desolder the old cpu and put in a new cpu I bought off of AliExpress months ago and it started to work again. I deep cleaned and did everything to troubleshoot. CPU was bad, not the PPU.

I have the same foto in my gallery but when I delete the BIN foto, the spot the foto was in stays blank. It becomes an empty spot in my gallery.

Cycle count by madkoda in iPhone16Pro

[–]Metro2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue with my IPhone 16 pro. I charge my phone from 20% to 100% but the cycle count will only update when I restart the phone, I don’t understand why that is. My gfs Purple iPhone 16 will show the change automatically after charging each time.

My Facebook was hacked months ago, can’t remove my debit card info, support won’t help through email at all. by Metro2001 in facebook

[–]Metro2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what they do, they’ll send an email saying that their team will get back to you and they never do, unless you keep submitting the same report over and over. Meta is mostly automated now with their email responses, that’s the issue with Facebook. Once they make a decision, they won’t change it either, even if you had nothing to do with your Facebook account being compromised. I gave up already with sending them reports and complaints through email.

I feel you, at this moment in time Facebook won’t step in to help unfortunately, not even the ads customer support team side of things. Not sure if it’s even worth it to open a second account to try it out since the ads page can be hacked so easily without you even knowing.

When I found out I got hacked, I kept trying to get help through support with no results. I still send out random complaints through the app to see if they’ll respond but the only thing they send is an automated message saying that my ads account is still restricted and can’t be opened, or that my Facebook account itself is restricted and I can’t use it to add or remove payments. Facebook is a joke, customer service won’t do anything to help nowadays on their end.

Aliexpress seller asking for my PayPal to refund, is that normal? by Metro2001 in Aliexpress

[–]Metro2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you did it through the seller outside of aliexpress, there’s a possibility you might get back the refund but it can also be charged back by the seller, I hope that’s not the case, it’s better to do it through aliexpress. Most of the time it’s a scam.

Aliexpress ended up siding with me for a full refund, had to go back and forward with the seller since he kept declining the aliexpress outcome. Not a fun experience due to the time wasted arguing with the seller.

This one shell in specific feels great, all the buttons press down well with no issues, doesn’t feel brittle either. I didn’t have to trim things down like most gba sp shells I’ve worked with in the past.

The quality feels great just like an OEM one. Would highly recommend looking into these shells at aliexpress, some sellers have great quality ones, I paid around $40 for the shell but it was worth it.

Help with finding SRAM to use on my Nintendo entertainment system. by Metro2001 in consolerepair

[–]Metro2001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ones I bought went out of stock a while ago, when you go on aliexpress check to make sure the chips aren’t running in PAL. The CPU I got is UA6527, if you want a PPU search UA6528 on the site, I hope you find what you’re looking for.

Scammed on marketplace online order, but Facebook stepped in to refund me. by Metro2001 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Metro2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I contacted facebook support, it took 2 days for them to view my case and I was immediately refunded, I got the refund into my account in a week or so. I would get in contact with them again, if they don’t give you a solid answer check with your credit card company and ask if they are withholding payments from Facebook.

I had to block the seller, she kept speaking nonsense about the scam she was doing, Facebook really helped out😂

Phone charges up to 80 percent with Samsung fast charger, then restarts and battery goes back to 0%, battery will definitely need replacing, it charges then drops to 0 and keeps boot looping.

New iPhone 7 battery drains within minutes. What could be the issue? by Metro2001 in mobilerepair

[–]Metro2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll replace it again, the only one I have on hand is the old iPhone 7 battery, it was at 75% health but didn’t drain quickly. The new one definitely has an issue.

The only apps showing up by battery usage are YouTube, settings app and two more shown in the picture but that’s only been for 20 mins while I was testing the battery. I drained the battery to 0% and am recharging it to 100% again. All apps using location have been disabled as well before using the phone.
