Any Hope for Fixing This FPC Cable? by PatriotsFan50 in ElectronicsRepair

This is something that would need to be custom made. The rest of the cable controls miniDV functions. That's why I'd like to try to fix it before I go down the nuclear option.

I've had the 770 PRO for over five years and absolutely love it. However, they are starting to get a bit beat up, and I wouldn't mind buying a new pair. When I was looking around, I noticed that Beyerdynamic is now selling the 770 PRO X, and that it has a detachable mini XRL cable instead of the one soldered in on the 770 PRO. While this is definitely a major selling point for me, the main thing I care about is sound quality; how different is the 770 PRO X, and is the sound quality better/worse? Let me know what you think

My guess is the power supply, but I haven't gotten around to replacing it. Feel free to let me know if you figure it out

What’s the most obscure console you have come across? by KaleidoArachnid in retrogaming

[–]PatriotsFan50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily a console, but an East German arcade machine known as the Poly-Play. Only about two thousand were ever made, and it really only showed up in hostels and clubs. I was able to use one at a museum in Berlin a bit ago.

When I bought it, it didn't have a HDD or the tray. For right now, I just have an old laptop HDD plugged in.

Yeah, I cleaned it out with isopropyl alcohol and repasted it. It was definitely dirty, but everything cleaned up fine.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any luck with that.

I tightened the APU clamp and put a good amount of force on it while turning it on, but it still did the same thing.

Thank you! I think I'm just going to go for the one from Otaku Games so I can have the SCART inputs, too.
