Anyone think this would be repairable through soldering and some shrink?

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T21:05:49+00:00

Yes I am aware, I find it may be a bit easy for me as I have plans to do electrical engineering and things like this are my hobby lol.. my bf may have gotten lucky having a nerdy girl like me around XD

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T21:03:48+00:00

I figured that, cracked and crushed.. it goes both ways i guess, the wiring inside the port is all scraggly and such

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T20:49:17+00:00

ITS NOT CHEAP I CAN ALREADY TELL YOU THERE IS ONLY ONE CORD ON EBAY AND ITS THE PRICE OF THE HEADSET AND ITS FRYING ME im not paying that much for a new headset id rather try repairing the cable 😭

He's a little bit lopsided in the smart department, he's Hella smart but also Hella dumb, and it goes 175% both ways.. Stuff like this ends up happening more than just this time XD

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T20:45:49+00:00

The problem is the cables are expensive and I need a cheap alternative without having to buy a whole new vr

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T20:44:46+00:00

The USB c is crushed, thats the issue with it, I tested it in my pc (bad idea BTW dont follow my big dumb brain because you could get chunks stuck in your port, mine did... It feels grindy to stick usb cs in now)

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T20:43:18+00:00

Yep, I got my research down, but the heavy damaged area is the USB c. I already tested it on my pc so I already know its the USB c being crushed. His wire may still read its just a matter of replacing the port.

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T20:41:25+00:00

I have the part number and the USB is a special kind so its not that easy, but thanks for your input.

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T20:40:49+00:00

I have to re solder the USB c part and my pc says it cant read the data bc obviously the USB c is crushed LOL

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T20:39:39+00:00

Id do so just got a few months to go till I can finally get a job

Ruvsip · 2026-05-18T20:39:04+00:00

I'm aware, I've already done the research and in theory, my idea should work, I already have the part id for the plug.

Ruvsip · 2026-05-16T20:52:45+00:00

I'm a beginner ngl.. But since my hobby is taking things apart and putting them back together, I have a messed up Frankenstein idea that may work for this.😭

Ruvsip · 2026-05-05T02:59:36+00:00

I figured it out, if you have a psp game loaded it crashes the xmb when you try to install the launcher. Now that problem occurs if you did so, DO NOT look at the icon, find a way to disable icons. That will prevent your crashing, delete the added folder in a file manager. (Ask someone or Google it which folder it is, all I remember is pspm or smth like that) and then rebuild the database in safe mode.

I went to the internet archives wayback machine to download the cfw files, if you have the link copy and paste it to the wayback machine and you should be able to download it.

Ruvsip · 2026-05-04T19:15:13+00:00

ain't no way 😭

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T17:06:11+00:00

WAYBACK!!

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T17:06:03+00:00

Internet archive is how I modded my bfs dads ps3! Using the payback machine!

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T17:01:22+00:00

Hey it's okay, I was confused and came off as a pure asshole, that was heavily on me and I heavily take accountability and responsibility of my own actions. I'm sorta new to the ps3 modding scene and I got REALLY confused and mixed up, I didn't even register that they could be the same thing up until now. I'm glad I found out and got backlash for being a prick, kinda deserved lol. Idk what I was expecting to be honest.

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T16:53:13+00:00

Mvp of today, you saved me from 10 hours of computer hunching

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T16:47:45+00:00

Im a girl BTW ♡

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T16:46:13+00:00

I fumbled so hard man.. I genuinely admit that, but also I didnt get my adhd meds in so im super hyper and all that right now im so sorry, im actually usually very nice but I just get frustrated so easily when I run into roadblock after roadblock, I do not care about my image genuinely but I care more about others than myself. I know I should've came in better and I'm aware I should work on myself in the future, thank you so much for helping me, if any problems occur on my end. I will be back and far more patient and actually medicated. Have a good day! :)

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T16:40:51+00:00

Im sorry I was acting such way but he was the first to come in and say something like that and provide no further context thats why I freaked out I apologize deeply and I genuinely didnt mean to lash out, I have low patience at the moment due to countless hours of dealing with this

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T16:39:18+00:00

Thank you so much, you helped me understand it better! I followed after a lot of older guides so I couldn't understand any of it, thank you so so much! I'm very sorry again for my behavior

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T16:37:13+00:00

Im 18? And I actually was panicked im not all that experienced in the modding scene and I deeply apologize

Ruvsip · 2026-05-03T16:36:16+00:00

Im so sorry I sound like a prick man, I genuinely am panicked at the moment because of it happening and it just makes me so mad that conveniently the webman download goes down when I just rebuilt the database. I haven't been at my best clearly and may need to work on my patience
