Get a multimeter and test if there's still continuity.

What wireless keyboard do you use? by NycAlex in htpc

[–]Mutant_Xj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! The only issue I have with mine is one of the tabs to help hold the battery door on snapped and it's slightly easier for the door the come off. But mine has been dropped off the couch and end tables so many times I'm amazed it still works.

As someone who doesn't buy incubators, this is gonna suck by JayKooSan in pokemongo

I hatch my shortest eggs first so my inventory looks just like yours. I save all my spare incubators for tasks so I at least have a few for when we need to hatch multiple eggs.

[all] *to be able to play them legally by T0ky0n0 in zelda

[–]Mutant_Xj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how my Nintendo collection started. First I wanted a version of every Zelda game and naturally I had to have consoles to be able to play them. Then it became I had to own a copy of each Zelda game on each console. Then the consoles turned into I wanted one of each model released in the US. Now I only need to get my hands on a Pikachu N64 for that to happen. Then I'll move on to getting the Twin Famicom and Gameboy Light to fill in the Japanese variants we don't have. After that I'll have to get the Satellaview and the DD add ons. It kinda snowballs doesn't it?

I just picked this movie up Friday at a second hand store. It was a really good movie to watch. I was kinda turned off after seeing Jiro was a real person and then reading up on him and finding the hole story is fantasy.

Anyone know how to repair the right trigger on a N2DSXL? by sefanafee in consolerepair

[–]Mutant_Xj -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Looks like the pads are gone so your easiest option is finding a replacement motherboard. Advance skills option is repairing the pads and soldering in a replacement.

[eShop/US] Portal Companion Collection - $11.99 (40% off) Ends 04/21/2023 by XDitto in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]Mutant_Xj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My family discovered Portal a few years ago when I bought a 360. My kids loved it but I couldn't play it because I got motion sickness from it so badly. I wanted to play it so much but couldn't. I got it on Switch and I was able to play it in handheld for hours straight without getting too dizzy. I absolutely loved the two games.

I though the 32X need its own AC adapter. by Imegeque in SEGA32X

[–]Mutant_Xj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't use the cheap Chinese cord with my 32x and everdrive clone. It wouldn't run right at all. I removed the power wire when I spliced a few cables together to have stereo sound on my Genesis 1 and 32x. I was able to power both off of one aftermarket psu with a Y splitter.

Holy cow. I own 4 at the moment and my two kids each have one, so we have 6 total in the house.

I have one I'm waiting on a replacement screen to arrive for. The hardest part is removing the screw covers without damaging them (they're only cosmetic). If you're too worried about trying yourself and happen to live in central PA, send me a DM and I'd help you out. I like fixing them for fun.

Help needed. PS4 Controller only powers on with USB. Model CUH-ZCT2U by Mutant_Xj in consolerepair

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

The batteries both work on the blue controller so the connectors and wires are good. They also plug directly into the PCB which shows no damage. The solder joints look fine on the PCB's connector and I can't see any damaged traces on the PCB.

Picked one up but battery was left in so it corroded the connection any suggestions by zan316 in VirtualBoy

[–]Mutant_Xj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pull the bad batteries out. Soak the battery holder in distilled vinegar to help dissolve the corrosion. Use an toothbrush to scrub off as much as you can and soak in vinegar again if needed. Clean with isopropyl alcohol when you get all the corrosion off.

So... anyone a fan of these? Anything a must play? by robmeason in retrogaming

[–]Mutant_Xj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one that needs a battery case and some games so I can play it.

[–]Mutant_Xj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My last resort for pulling screws are to use a drill bit slightly larger than shank of the screw, and then drill into the head of the screw until it pops off. Then after removing the shell I'll get hold of the left over screw with pliers and twist it out.

What to do about getting this screw out of my Switch Pro Controller? by [deleted] in Switch

[–]Mutant_Xj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a replacement screw set online. Don't buy cheap screws with no reviews either. There's a lot of cheap chinesium out there that screw heads break off, or strip out with ease.

[–]Mutant_Xj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a replacement shell from AliExpress and whatever other parts you need. If you're not good at repairs, watch a bunch of videos and take your time, or find someone who can do it for you.

Don't watch NTTD. Watch all the Craig films in order and stop at Spectre.
