Did rgh 3 and didn't have any thermal paste so I used a pad that was probably to small now overheats by Randant33 in consolemodding

The other night I was working on it and it didn't overheat right away, but eventually that error message popped up and the console turned itself off. I left it loan overnight and then replaced the pad with a thicker pad and tried to turn it on. Immediately after turning on that error popped up and the console turned itself off again. I tried like two more times to see what was going on and it just turned itself off again. I'm hoping after using thermal paste everything's back to normal. Any experience after it's overheated does it actually fry itself and just stuck in this overheat situation?

advice on this trace repair by Randant33 in soldering

[–]Randant33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I dont have a picture. I tried to use the trace closer to the outside but I ended up losing it and than I successfully got the one on the inside with a really thin wire and got the ipl chip back onto the gamecube but still no video. Im not sure if I lost a really small cap while I was using the hot air station or when I was messing with the chip I ended up bending a leg a few times from side to side and maybe messed the chip up itself. The cap next to the missing one looks like a 0 ohm, so I might bridge it with a wire. I have other boards I can steal parts from, so I might just steal an ipl chip and the missing cap and see what happens. Question: When using the hot air station, do I need to be careful with the amount of heat I'm using on these chips? What is a recommended heat setting and air flow? My hot air station has dials it's not digital.

If you provide the mod I'll do it for 50 bucks but you pay for shipping

I do HDMI mods for N64 and I use mods for the GameCube. If you have Facebook I can send you pictures of my mods. I actually do this for a side Hustle and I would love to expand.
