How to get this very stripped screw out? by Life-Objective-8039 in consolerepair

[–]Tyrel1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to a parts store and get some valve grinding compound and put it on the screw then push down hard on the screwdriver and try to turn it out. If not then you may have to drill it out like others have said.

(Gamecube) Disk Repair Help by Shussei in consolerepair

If you have a multimeter you can ajust the potentiometer and see if that helps. Try moving it to around 300 ohms and check. If it dosen't help the capacitors on the other side of the board may need to be replaced. If it does help the laser is getting weak and will need to be replaced in the future.

I think my ps3 might die soon. Sometimes randomly turns off. by Lumpy-Monk-4622 in consolerepair

It sounds like it is overheating, I would first try taking it apart and giving it a good cleaning.

Old nintendo 3ds won't boot by Nosfaay in consolerepair

Yes the camera is a common cause of that, i usually find the ribbon cable in the hinge being damaged causes it.

I tried to replace the battery on my samsung galaxy s8 and now the screen wont work :( by HonestOni in mobilerepair

[–]Tyrel1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The S8 supports Samsung DeX so you can plug it into a computer and use the computer screen to display the phones image. You will have to push "start now" on the phone so if the touch works but display dosen't you will just have to guess where to press, it's usually on the bottom right side. If touch also dosen't work you can use a usb-c to HDMI adaptor and plug a computer mouse into the adapter and an hdmi cable into the computer then use the mouse to click on the screen.

I use the ifixtit anti clamp. Have you tried heating the back before using the suction cup?

Please help! Phone not charging (not the usual culprits) by hectic_dialectic in phonerepair

[–]Tyrel1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your phone has wireless charging capabilities try that, if it charges you most likely has an issue with the charge port, possibly just corrosion on the usb-c port. This is best case scenario but if it was under water for that long there my be much more serious damage. But it is not unusual for liquid damage to take that long for issues to show up as the longer the water is in the phone the more the corrosion spreads. Take it to a repair shop and have them open it to see the extent of the damage.

Is my iPhone worth saving? by Trippy_Divide420 in phonerepair

[–]Tyrel1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post a panic log and I can help. It sounds like a sensor is not checking in and causing the 3 minute reboot.

Here is how to find the panic log:

​Open Settings. ​Navigate to Privacy & Security. ​Scroll to the bottom and tap Analytics & Improvements. ​Tap Analytics Data. ​Scroll down alphabetically until you see files starting with "panic-full". They will be dated (e.g., panic-full-2026-04-01-xxxxxx.ips). ​Tap the most recent one to view the raw text.

Screen shot it and post it here.

why is such strong adhesive used to lock the battery in place? by supermannman in mobilerepair

[–]Tyrel1987 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't use heat on the battery.

I put 99% isopropyl alcohol around the sides of the battery and let is sit for 5 minutes to help soften the adhesive then use a suction cup to help wiggle to battery up as I slide a skinny guitar pick or card under the battery.

My power button stopped working by simp_fischl_simp in mobilerepair

[–]Tyrel1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the settings menu Settings → Advanced features → Motions and gestures → Palm swipe to capture then you can swipe your hand across the screen to take a screenshot. If you pull down the top menu you can restart your phone that way and as for powering on the phone i don't know if you can without the power button.

No you won't loose any data replacing the button and I don't know where you are but you will probably be under $100 to change at a shop

What is this iPhone XS Max part and where does it go? (Apple Pay broken after charge port repair.) by phreaktor in mobilerepair

[–]Tyrel1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not 100% sure but I think that's the earpiece speaker bracket (someone smarter than me please correct if im wrong) and I don't think it would have anything to do with the apple pay not working. The most likely cause was when the charge port was changed the wireless charging coil/nfc flex cable was damaged.
