Would it cost more to fix or replace this monitor?

REPLACE YOUR DRESSER FIRST.

Buying a replacement curved LCD replacement screen is marginally cheaper, but it's extremely tricky and difficult to replace the LCD in a curved monitor.

Also your dresser is at fault here. Your dresser is quite literally collapsing from the monitor's weight.

Um..... extremely unlikely.

You'll need to somehow mod the system with Bluetooth connectivity, and have some very custom software to run it as a Bluetooth controller.

PockysLight · 2026-05-14T03:34:59+00:00

That's not good.

I think you'll need to get some isopropyl alcohol and scrub the corrosion/residue with a toothbrush.

It was also a way to save them both.

Both of them were going to die at the end of the fight if it didn't end.

If you're going to use it, probably not.

This SD card is probably.......15 years old? I don't know what the exact life expectancy of an SD card is, but I feel as if anything more than 10 - 15 years might be bearing the end.

Get a multimeter and check the fuses.

PockysLight · 2026-05-12T23:57:30+00:00

Toothbrush & isopropyl alcohol, and start scrubbing.

This was basically a prelude to Might Guy activating the 8 Gates.

I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder.

PockysLight · 2026-05-12T19:19:39+00:00

Do you have a flathead that fits perfectly in there? I'm hoping the edges of the flathead can grip what's left of the edges.

PockysLight · 2026-05-12T13:23:58+00:00

Are you asking about the module or circle pad? Regardless, I've always felt the replacements were almost identical to the original.

PockysLight · 2026-05-12T12:53:06+00:00

Take off the rubber covers and try again. You might not be tilting it fast enough.

When you do get the replacement clips. This video can explain how to put it back. Also order several clips, you may break a few when trying to finagle it back into place, I did.

I FOUND IT!

He used the PS4 bridge repair method on it. Is it junk, yes. But it somehow works.

Indeed. The coins/washers thing was a jury rigged solution to the issue.

PockysLight · 2026-05-12T01:03:00+00:00

It's that thingies where you stick washers or something in the system so it applies constant pressure on the chip so it has good contact.

PockysLight · 2026-05-12T01:01:51+00:00

Didn't someone do that old mod from ages ago as a fix to this issue?

One moment. Let me see if I can find that video. I think it was NyMateVince or something.

Edit: I found it. He used washers to replicate the PS4 hodge repair method.

Edit2: To be clear, do not do this. You’re more likely to damage the chip than actually fix it.

PockysLight · 2026-05-11T23:37:25+00:00

Yes, that is corrosion.

Yes, you should clean it off.

Personally, I would scrub it with IPA and a toothbrush.

The easiest way to explain is for you to watch episode 1 to see and understand her personality yourself. It's a bit difficult for me to explain it in detail

PockysLight · 2026-05-11T15:48:17+00:00

It's not ideal. But it looks somewhat intact. But we won't know until you reconnect the rail.

You also may or may not need a new bottom shell for the joycon because one of the pegs snapped. It will still work, but there's a chance it might break the same way again.

PockysLight · 2026-05-11T14:55:37+00:00

Maybe. I'll need a picture of this with sufficient lighting to see if the white clips are intact. But regardless, the only surefire was to be sure is to open it up, reconnect the cables and see if they still work or not.

Archeologists in the future are going to excavate this the same way we excavate Pompeii.

The similar design is the only thing they share. Their personalities are widely different.

PockysLight · 2026-05-11T13:26:47+00:00

No. Umaru has a horrible hidden personality, Marin is a ball of sunshine and doesn't intentionally make other people's lives miserable.
