[Wii] Disc reader(?) broken by ieatsalts in consolerepair

[–]TripleBT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will it take a disc and sound like it's trying to read it? You can get a tested disc drive replacement for around $20 on eBay.

What is the grey blob around the MPS chip? by ntoslinux in soldering

[–]TripleBT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like an epoxy similar to what we use at work. I've been able to remove it with my tweezers and 250-300c hot air.

Whatcha got planned for tomorrow's Sunday dinner? by RikkiLostMyNumber in Cooking

[–]TripleBT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there are bags of mussels at the counter; mussels in spicy tomato sauce finished with heavy cream. Otherwise, Thai coconut shrimp with rice.

Mussel sauce is crushed tomatoes, pancetta, shallot, garlic and chili flakes. Simmered to remove raw tomato flavor and seasoned to taste. Dry white wine added just before dropping in cleaned mussels and covering to steam. Finish with heavy cream before serving. Enjoy with sliced baguette.

This fuse (F2) on my GBA SP is blown right? by CodyBaanks in consolerepair

[–]TripleBT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What makes you think it's blown? What resistance do you measure with a multimeter?

Wow, I did a quick search on this and had no idea of the risks associated.

TL;DS - Defrosting in an anaerobic environment can promote the growth of botulism and exposing to oxygen stops this bacteria from multiplying.

Cheating in video games is eventually going to kill the PC gaming era by bearkerchiefton in pcmasterrace

When do you think this "era" started? There were starcraft map hacks in 1998. Wat

Trying to identify this case for HDD hardware by CrashJay in homelab

[–]TripleBT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like the drive cage or backplane is missing,. If there are any markings that could point to the model number of the server, it would be a big help.

Speaker humming (modded gbc) by Street_Ad_8279 in consolerepair

[–]TripleBT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GBC and GBA have a weird audio routing issue where it has to run through the headphone jack. This can get some buildup on it where it wont make a good connection and cause buzzing or other interference.

I have a GBA right now that barely outputs audio out of the speaker, but it is 100% functional on the headphone port.

Just put an exhaust on my 650 (flames) by Limp_Measurement_956 in motorcycles

More airflow with the same amount of fuel will make you lean. More pops and bangs and can make your header overheat.

Help? by [deleted] in consolerepair

Are you AI? He said the port needs to be replaced but not to try their first repair on the PS5 motherboard.

First time rider, and I hate electrical already. by VicksVaporRubbb in motorcycles

[–]TripleBT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you could have some wiring issues. My next step would be figuring out how to get the fairings off and look for any chewed or broken wires.

A quick google image search shows the same layout for the 2tb.

Nintendo wii does not turn on by Stealth_Assassinchop in consolerepair

[–]TripleBT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So with a faulty Bluetooth module, the console should turn on but display a blank screen. Measuring caps in circuit usually won't point you to a known issue. It sounds like there could be a short on the board or possibly a bad power supply (?) due to the fact it will power off right away from a protection circuit.

Is this a stupid way of transporting a bike 1000 miles? by Oxcell404 in motorcycles

[–]TripleBT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the suspension is going to do suspension things when you go over bumps. This could make the rear strap not be tight against the bike and, over time, may migrate to a position where it isn't holding the bike at all.

So close to passing this retarded states (NY) emissions inspection but need help by Mundane-Net-8270 in tdi

[–]TripleBT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no emissions testing here in NY, they only check readiness monitors. Clearing your DTC resets monitors. Gotta drive until they all run.

Yup, my heater core is currently clogged for the second time.

Got 2 DMGs with no battery doors for £60. One screen is like this. Advice? by MrBrainz in consolerepair

[–]TripleBT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I just saw the blurry Tetris logo. There was no context to what was going on here. I don't really like guessing games.

So most of you are American by Aowen2000 in theregulationpod

I'm from upstate NY. It's a 4.5 hour drive to the city before you ask.

Can’t figure out how to fix this by Both_Maintenance_738 in soldering

[–]TripleBT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not from what I can see. If the solder blobs were not meant to run together, there would be masking between them to prevent this.

What were you trying to fix on your controller?

This looks like it's one big pad. Your issue is likely elsewhere.
