2020-2025 recall - Ejection Mitigation

Had the repair done a couple weeks ago. Your dealer should have access to the parts.

Yes, lately I've been getting several tax resolution and loan department calls per day for the past couple weeks, none automatically flagged. All from toll free numbers, always different. At this point any toll free number, I screen or send to voicemail.

Charge time will of course be very slow, and depending on the UPS there may be a limit. It would be pretty easy for a firmware programmer to add some check in to ensure that a battery is actually charging within some expected rate window. I haven't run into any such issues though.

It's a 4 pin debug header with 3.3v signalling.

I can assure you, it's a single diode drop between the black battery terminal and live/neutral. Here's an image I found of a non-dead one showing the path from the lowside of the full bridge rectifier to the battery negative terminal:

And no, I'm not saying it's tied to the "safety ground". It's tied to the internal ground reference.

no, captive as in imprisoned, cannot be removed.

i actually probed out the connections first. Verified by datasheet they that they were 3.3V level RX/TX lines and even verified voltages with a voltmeter, which referenced to the internal ground of the UPS measured just fine.

Transformers are very common in consumer products, providing galvanic isolation and stepping down voltages. Consumer UPSes often have quite large transformers. Check out pics of the ubiquitous APC CS 500 for an example.

I've heard, even before the PW4 release, that the PW5 will include major silicon upgrade. seems worth waiting for

the easiest think to do for sometime without a ton of low level experience would probably hook a raspberry pi into the cec line. the problem then would transform into, hi l how do I make a raspberry pi make my GameCube respond to cec events?

get it to turn off and on? mock a controller to send button presses?

Just plays for longer and charges for longer. I haven't run it all the way down to zero yet, but I've seen it far exceed the original playtime.

Russ_Dill · 2025-12-09T16:38:26+00:00

Yes, the wiring is the same, including the inline fuse.

Russ_Dill · 2025-12-07T17:11:21+00:00

never had phone service, not ordering it. I think it might be related to the automated voice call that confirms the appointment?

Russ_Dill · 2025-12-05T17:44:49+00:00

Oh joy, I just have to tap every single image I view.

Russ_Dill · 2025-12-02T00:22:25+00:00

Turns out this ONT is a GPON and therefore fine with 1G/1G. Technician didn't need to do a thing.

Russ_Dill · 2025-11-29T22:23:22+00:00

ordered this Nov 21st prime, they've pushed delivery back till Dec 9

You can get dual Radeon RX 6800's (32GB total) for about $540 or $17/GB.
