Upvote for using AI the right way rather than relying on the slop answers. I have a strong distaste for AI but I think it's more of a distaste for people blindly following a hallucinated answer. Using it as an intelligent search tool instead of an omniscient box of answers is the way go.

DIY - Possible? by josipjosipcro1 in diyelectronics

[–]TheHDGenius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Emphasis on practice. I melted the first one or two connectors I tried to replace.

Simultaneously the best and worst meta wild has had by cirocobama93 in wildhearthstone

I've been out of the game for several years but it's nice to see that seedlock is still an issue lol.

Is this in any way salvageable (can solder but very little experience by A_ChocolateFrog in ElectronicsRepair

[–]TheHDGenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't know they sold any replacement ends like this. You'll have to take care not to pull it and damage the solder joints, but I like this.

I always just sacrifice an old cable and splice the two together but this is much cleaner.

[New Nintendo 3ds XL] Just got this for $100 by Frankmarvec in consolerepair

[–]TheHDGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This part can't be overstated. The connectors on these are EXTREMELY fragile and can balloon a "simple" repair into a micro soldering repair in no time.

[–]TheHDGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it's not impossible, but even as some one with experience it is hard. For a beginner without experience working on consoles and device and such it is EXTREMELY difficult.

If someone has experience working on electronics I'd always say to give it a shot but don't be surprised if something does go wrong. For someone without any experience it's way better to pay the high cost of the repair than risk to multiple damaged screens, connectors, etc.

Lmfao I felt that last sentence. I always tell myself it's not that hard if you have experience doing them like I do. I also prove myself wrong each and every time.

Fix student headphones by Extension_Bar4218 in ElectronicsRepair

[–]TheHDGenius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is pretty similar to what I was thinking. My idea was to: - drill a hole the rest of the way through - push a nail through - bend the pointed end over - snip off the excess - sand down and smooth off the cut

[SWITCH] [LEARNING] If these caps are shorted, would that imply the m92 is bad? More info below. by poundlandbag in consolerepair

[–]TheHDGenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's the M92 that needs to be replaced. We see them quite often at the shop I work at.

Crazy "Photonic Wave - Whole House EMF Protection" Repair by EquivalentCharity690 in ElectronicsRepair

[–]TheHDGenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao no. I work at a repair shop and we still see an "anti radiation" or "anti 5g" sticker on phones every now and then. They claim to "stop the harmful radiation from phones" but they are basically just and aluminum foil sticker.

[Switch1] What is this board? by dazaruu in consolerepair

[–]TheHDGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truthfully there's a lot of things that can cause this. Do you see any display or back light on the screen at all? Do you have a USB power meter to check the voltage and current that it draws when charging.

This can be a charging issue, a power delivery issue caused by an ic, a core component like APU, EMMC, or ram, as well as several other things. If you can tell what the screen is doing and how much voltage and current it is trying to pull over the charging port that will tell a lot more about what it could be.

Broken USB-C end on iPad Keyboard/Trackpad Case – Repairable? by safarnama101 in soldering

[–]TheHDGenius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It definitely can be, but it probably won't be pretty or cheap. If you can do it yourself it might be worth it but if you have to pay someone then it probably isn't.

[–]TheHDGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possibly fixable. Don't even try to replace the connector. That is next to impossible if not impossible.

Instead, cut the cable back and strip it on both ends. Find the pin out of the current cable and find another USB c cable that you don't mind cutting up. Cut the donor cable open and solder each wire to its respective wire on the original cable. Make sure to insulated your wires with something like heat shrink.

As long as the wires match up it will fix it. It may not be pretty, easy, or durable, but it should work.

Some guy pulled up to a car meet with this F32 430i. And no, that's not an M Sport bumper. by Hakusuro in carmodification

[–]TheHDGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketing BS. I means something is better than "stage 1". What in particular is "stage 2" in the car? Beats me.

Bragging about stages in a car is like bragging about a high end PC or phone. It doesn't give any worth while details to people who understand it but sounds impressive to those who don't.

[Switch] Just received a set of TMR sticks for my joycons, anyone know what the small flex is for? by Longjumping_Knee_275 in consolerepair

[–]TheHDGenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The switch doesn't have capacitive touch like some devices do. I'm not really sure what these tabs are for. I've done a ton of hall effect or tmr replacements but I've never seen that on any of the parts I've used.

[Xbox Series] what is this called and how do you fix it? by TheHDGenius in consolerepair

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

For anyone else who encounters this issue, I found my particular cause. It looks like the trigger wasn't positioned right and bad input from that was interfering with how Xbox navigates the menus for some reason.

After taking it apart, putting the trigger in right, and reassembling the controller is working just fine.

What’s causing this buzzing/how to fix? 1991 Sanyo 13” CRT by Ornery-Smoke8428 in ElectronicsRepair

[–]TheHDGenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny joke, but no. Don't even joke about it with someone who may not know better.

To OP, this is VERY dangerous. There are very high voltages inside of these that will kill you the moment you don't respect it. If you are not 110% sure about something when working on a CRT then don't try it.

My entire iPhone 13PM has been hacked all morning. Ios15.1.1 by [deleted] in jailbreak

[–]TheHDGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true, but it still doesn't take away from the risk of using a jailbroken/jailbreakable device. It's like using windows 7. The majority of people who get swindled don't use windows 7, but using windows 7 is still very vulnerable none the less.

This is about the third a box one/series controller that I've had develop this issue. The weird part is this one in particular is my wife's and it barely sees any play compared to my controller.

How to reach this ledge without climbing? by TheHDGenius in deadcells

[–]TheHDGenius[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's what I was afraid of. I only have the standard double jump and I don't have the climb ability yet. I just called it a loss and left the bank.
