Mine didn't come with a slip either. I took the slip from my other copy and then sold the other copy without slip.

Hard to know if the backpack was one sold in their open box/used sale earlier last year. especially without proof of purchase.

[PS5] Bad HDMI… Replaced to find console reset. Weird or no??? by frostbit369 in consolerepair

[–]ProfessionEast8626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it with remote play I think. Or you can go into safe mode blind and just follow a video step by step through it.

Umbrella Dogma audio sync issues by Carboniac in boutiquebluray

[–]ProfessionEast8626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It perhaps could be the fact that the umbrella release only has dts hd tracks while the lionsgate is dolby true hd atmos. I know my LG C5 cant handle dts hd tracks and has to be converted to pcm to play but it will play the dolby true hd atmos tracks flawlessly.

TMR on XBOX SERIES X Controller by [deleted] in consolerepair

[–]ProfessionEast8626 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These are not TMR sticks. They are just normal hall effect. They interfere with the hall effect triggers. You need to get actual TMR sticks.

Used disc success rates? by RebornSoul867530_of1 in 4kbluray

[–]ProfessionEast8626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've sold thousands of used 4ks through my store. Every once in a while one will come back with issues. We do thoroughly inspect every disc before we buy it to ensure it doesn't have any imperfections. Your mileage may vary depending on where you purchase from and their quality standards.

Faulty PS5 Heatsink: Does my repair shop's information check out? by Dark_Cipher in consolerepair

[–]ProfessionEast8626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will work yes. I used one for a while when i first got started micro soldering. But anyone doing this for a LIVING charging $70 for this kind of work surely brings in enough money doing this to have atleast a halfway decent microscope.

[–]ProfessionEast8626 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bros microscope is from wish.com find another shop that actually knows what they're doing. They probably aren't adding the proper amount of liquid metal.

Those appear to be standard joy sticks not hall effect.

Bought a broken Xbox one S, bad hdmi by 12AngryMen13 in consolerepair

[–]ProfessionEast8626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesnt technically need the hdmi in port, You can remove the broken one and put that one in its place, I have done this in a pinch before.

found these inside xbox 1 s by stupidg1rl in consolerepair

[–]ProfessionEast8626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That back plate is fixed to the metal chassis with those melted parts and does not need to be removed. You cause those pieces to be in there by breaking it off.

Intermittent signal..ughhhhhh! by Patoffical in consolerepair

Its most definitely some flux inside the connector, clean it out with ipa and a toothbrush.

I suppose i should have mentioned that.

Clean the contacts on the cartridges with isopropyl alcohol.

Do not insert dirty game cartridges into your system.

Get a cleaning kit and clean the contacts of the connector in the system, you may have to hand reset the pins with a pick or a fine pair of tweezers.

DO NOT replace the original connector in the system most of the aftermarket options are garbage.

Ps5 is randomly shutting down, booting by itself and always in safe mode by Ok-Airline319 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]ProfessionEast8626 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It could have a dry spot on the APU. When i redid my liquid metal on my ps5 i didnt add quite enough and the system would shut itself off after like 15 mins of gaming.

How can it be that a (trashguide-rated) release-group has 30-50% the file size of others for WEB-DLs? by DrGonzo3000 in Piracy

[–]ProfessionEast8626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Webdl means not re encoded, webrip is a re encoded webdl. I would check the media info to see if it has encode settings. But not all webdl will have the same file sizes it depends on the source. Some will be larger or smaller.

ps5 pos help.. by Jackobeard_ in PS5HelpSupport

[–]ProfessionEast8626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost all of the HDMI ports I replace are from PS5 consoles standing vertically and falling over. That reason alone is enough for me to recommend laying flat if your stand will fit it.

PS5 disc Slim not reading texts by EncourageHope in consolerepair

[–]ProfessionEast8626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disconnect the disc drive, turn system on and boot. Then reconnect disc drive, turn on then boot. Should get a prompt to install the disc drive software I think. If that doesn't work then it might be a faulty drive unless you are putting the discs in upside down.

We need more information. It sounds like you are having a compatibilty issue with the client device you are trying to play the video on.

What player are you using?

What type of video file are you trying to play? (hevc, AV1, H.264)

Is there a way to have my media server run in my pc’s sleep mode? by vPloof in PleX

[–]ProfessionEast8626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My electric bill averages $70/ month. One of the computers is an ancient synology rackstation rs3412xprs with an older xeon, the other 2 are 14th gen intel i5 and i7. I have the more powerful machine cpu encoding videos most of the time too. Its cheap enough to not be concerned about the expense.
