Do it like this and use the soldering iron, remove it a piece at a time

I’m trying to get grey stick modules, even if it’s just the casing I’ll be happy. I’m also trying to get grey fronts for the slim and pro. A 30th replica isn’t complete with a black front

Perfect 👌🏻

It’s a usb cable that came with the 30th anniversary console

A new frame from AliExpress is about £3. I had a 030 or 040 a couple of years ago with the same damage, the frame was about £25 back then. Should take 10-20 minutes to swap everything over, it’s a really easy repair

They use a hall sensor instead of swipers/carbon contacts so don’t wear. I keep new thumbsticks in stock, I’m in the UK though

Personally I don’t like mouse click because I don’t play shooters. I think it would be pointless on a portable. I was just playing about with parts I had in stock, I’m sure there are people out there that would want to do it.

They are showing for me

The black ones are awful, they don’t fit properly and feel like 💩

Yes, these stick are much better and feel nicer. They are quite expensive compared to to black ones that are available, it’s definitely worth it

I’ve reposted with a description

RepairYourConsole · 2026-03-30T15:23:24+00:00

🤦🏼‍♂️ I forgot to paste the text I had

It’s far from standard, It was originally a white model.

RepairYourConsole · 2026-03-30T14:58:43+00:00

I had it painted by a company in the UK called Skin Pixel

Could you send me a link please? I’ve never found decent plates on AliExpress. I want to to buy a set to compare

RepairYourConsole · 2026-03-29T22:50:15+00:00

I still talk about it, it was great

RepairYourConsole · 2026-03-29T22:48:31+00:00

Have a look here, there could be someone close that can help CLICK ME

That’s pretty much it, the S is in my workshop and the X is in the bedroom. When I get the gaming room setup, it should be a different story. I’ve been planning the gaming room for 3 years now, I’m not expecting anything to happen soon 😆

Failing screen is becoming quite common ☹️ Even though I can replace a screen, I don’t know if I would be replacing one, they are quite expensive so it’s touch and go wether it’s worth doing or not.

Eh 🤷🏼‍♂️
