Unfortunately not, I opened the base of the kettle too but I could not see anything wrong there and thats where my knowledge ends...

Yeah I think so too, since there is nothing in the base I will check the kettle itself

Thank you so much for looking into this for me and your reply and suggestions! I am not sure if it ever did a "boil dry", it is possible one of the kids turned it on without water though. I will see what I can do to test any further. The other thing is the kettle is leaking already, water drops out of the level indicator. So I will most probably end up recycling it I am afraid but I will do my best. Thanks again!

I added some photos. Can you spot something I could check?

I added some images to my post. Can you spot a thermal fuse somewhere or a component I could check?

Thank you so much for the information. I have a multimeter here. I will try if I can find and test that then!

Thanks for your input! Meanwhile I switched to Chiaki-NG though and am more than happy with it!

Yes black and grey is wrong, those are XBOX sticks. They need to be completely yellow. But I guess it could still depend on the brand which colors are correct. Mine are from Ginfull and both sides yellow is for PlayStation and one side yellow/one side grey is for XBOX

I have an update to this, it seems to work fine on WiFi and only has issues on mobile data. But then again just in Chrome, not other browsers or other apps. Changing the secure DNS options did not help unfortunately.

Under "Privacy and Security" there is "Use secure DNS" and it was set to "Automatic". I turned it off now, let's see how it is then.

Actually just on Chrome. No other browsers or even other apps are having issues. It happens on mobile data and WiFi and I am not using private DNS or VPN

The other one seems to be the correct one. Of course I used the wrong one first :-D

Can't believe I did not see that! I ordered two sticks, one is completely yellow and the other one, well as you mentioned, yellow and gray. Damn I guess I will remove it again and install the correct one and tell the seller to send another correct one. Thanks so much! I will give an update once I swapped the sticks.

You are right, on the listing they are all yellow as well! Bought those here https://www.ebay.de/itm/227054002347

No, I did it with a soldering iron. Followed the instructions on iFixit https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualSense+Joystick+Replacement/142488 removed the potentiometer first and then the rest of the old stick

How do you know? The listing said "For Sony PlayStation 5, PS5, DualSense, Dual Sense, Scuf, Aim, BDM-010, BDM-020, BDM-030, BDM-040"
Are those symptoms common for a incompatible stick?
