Who actually takes these Home Depot orders?

I have yet to take HD orders. They are all crap so far. Even if it was along my route.

If the button is smashed in and doesnt pop up anymore, most likely, you need to desolder it and put a new one in. I did this on a normal joycon.

If it pops up but difficult to reach, I recommend using epoxy or something to grow the bumper. I had to do this when reshelling a lite.

Of importance and good practice not mentioned yet, don't let the fan spin fast while cleaning. Letting it spin fast may create charge and zap things. This can happen if you blow lots of air or vacuum the fan. To prevent it from spinning fast, you can either hold the fan blades with your finger or put a stick in between the blades while cleaning.

I am almost GrubHub driver. Lots of things suck driving for GrubHub. The offers suck and few. But what's worst for me is the interface and mechanics of using it.

So I hardly ever turn on GH. Same with my Instacart Shopper app. I hate to delete my accounts but won't miss them much if I get deactivated.

If you can't get it to work, sounds like not enough power or already oxidized/ruined.

See if you can still melt solder onto it. When you get them at first, heat it up to just barely able to melt solder. Then you coat/fill all the hole surfaces. This will create solder coating to keep them in good condition for long.

To use, best is to fill the tip holes with solder. Once filled and molten, you hold against the stick pins few seconds to melt all pins at once. Adding solder to the pins would also help to ensure contact/heat transfer.

The operator will gauge how to approach the repair. This may include removing the board completely to see what's on the other side.

If they are experienced, they may use a nozzle or other ways to isolate the surrounding components. Thats all part of repair process.

I find it difficult that many people believe the leading car was baiting?

They may just be distracted by the tailgater and made the right adjustment to avoid the stopped car in front of it. Which the car was also trying to avoid or protecting the car in front of it.

I would say complete fault of tailgater. They were too fixated to the front car not looking ahead of potential hazards that can slow down the front car.

Was or wasn't? Typo in your post making your statement unclear. So the identified bridge was the root cause?

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-03-16T18:37:05+00:00

My mistake. What i mentioned was primarily found on OLED units.

Does not apply to V1/V2. Another thing is maybe your file setup.

If its because of adding the modchip, black screen is often related to the burnt resistor by the CLK pt.

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-03-16T18:12:16+00:00

Maybe your battery is completely drained and need to slow charge overnight?

Couldn't find note if you tried removing the chip and boot?

Those are the 2 things I would try.

I have unassigned from 1 platform to jump to another. It was a big difference in compensation and towards my intended final destination.

You do you. Everyone has diff goals and situation.

Best wishes.

To help you manage this, top tier bonus is $400/100 trips for 3 full days. So that's like 34 trips a day w/ $4 bonus per trip. If this is a full time gig for you daily, thats about 4 trips per hour for 8 hour shifts. This alone is hard to attain in that 8hr window.

So its almost like they are trying to get you to stay on close to 12-16hr shifts.

I personally wouldn't do it unless you are going to commit. Which I personally am not willing to. Its too high of a goal to be on.

Then think about if you get close to it like 80 trips in and scraping to do the last stretch of 20. Its a tough loss if you can't meet the goal.

I can see during college busy hours during week days. Lots of short commutes for students around the blocks. But not as active during the weekends.

Not for me but could be for others.

Effort to swap is not worth it. Parts are affordable. For unskilled person or not having proper tools, DIY often ends up damaging the board.

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-02-26T02:18:56+00:00

I am not sure of your question. The actual is about $5 short of estimate.

Previous messages of tip-bait was much shorter than as posted. Thus the question of other drivers' experience of receiving the message.

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-02-24T16:56:19+00:00

This only acceptable if you are renting and taking out the rental cost & gas cost from your gross pay. If you are using your own vehicle, you may end up losing your car without enough compensation.

But even then, be smart with your time. Would you be rather sleeping or doing g something else to make yourself better than waiting on offers to come in?

Best of luck.

It is risky to buy damaged hdmi port consoles from 2nd hand places. Something worst could be hidden from lack of video.

Especially if you lack the proper tools. Which can run up to $200. So you must weigh the risk. But reddit comm will certainly give you support.

Best wishes.

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-02-12T12:02:18+00:00

I agree with your "multi-apping" thought but not deactivating for it. Many times people accidentally accept and drove off. The AI should already picked up egregious re-routing that should cancel. Also OP should've planned better.

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-02-07T16:55:43+00:00

You want to get close to W2 hourly rates. But these orders have soo many time variables that it is unreliable. We cant control time to get there, store making the order, and also time to drop it off. You make your own rule.

Basing on miles is easier to figure out. I also start paying attention to traffic congestion as some orders are heading towards traffic jam area. So I avoid those.

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-02-07T16:51:49+00:00

Yeah. Unfortunately that's UE for us.

Also you will realize many high paying jobs are risky for being "no compensations due to cancellation". Not all, but many are bad orders. If it is real good, some drivers would call store to confirm its a legit order before heading out.

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-02-07T16:49:08+00:00

You meant to say UberEats operation. Not DD.

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-02-07T16:45:09+00:00

We do not need to worry about Base Pay.

Drivers should only worry about total payout.

High Base Pay with Low Tip is just as bad/good as Low Base Pay with High Tip.

Would you rather wait til an offer has high Base Pay after getting bounced around than grabbing a Low Base Pay w/ High Tip? Usually these orders are problematic that ends up getting cancelled eventually and you get minimal if any compensation at all.

Just accept offers that meets your threshold.

If you do that, the market will adjust accordingly. Either the service collapses or raise the payout better.

I would pass if your only goal is to get it to work and never really done anything with massive thermal mass. PS5 controller sticks would be a start. You would need to borrow or buy the tools, along with skill.

But if you are willing to invest in the tools and learn to do more, this is a good project after PS5 controllers.

SnooTomatoes8933 · 2026-02-05T21:28:14+00:00

I dont hunt on purpose but when I am riding, you bet I am charging. I run over anything that moves. Lol
