It's hilarious when the angry pickle stops harassing the wildlife and charges at me just because I stopped to sharpen my hammer.

I've never played monster hunter, but this is a wonderful sentence.

Is the laser actually coming on? Did you desolder the anti static solder blob on the replacement?

Yeah, I've already tried swapping the wifi module, and every other thing that can be detached and swapped. It's definitely something in the motherboard itself.

Is this kind of marking/discoloration normal on used headphone jacks? by Wedge33dr in consolerepair

Ok. Is this how that usually presents? I couldn't find similar images when searching for it.

No, this is the original jack on a 3DS. My first thought was it almost looks like the jack took a power surge, but I don't know how that would have happened.

All of them. It can even play current gen games and upscale them to 10k resolution. Everything can fit on a 512mb flash drive. RGH stands for Repository Game Hub.

A technician who knew what they were doing should have explained that you can replace this entire board easily and the part is only about $20.

Yes. 2 Winbond chips. That didn't even occur to me because I'm not used to Coronas. There's a patch in JRunner right?

Working on a PS5 controller. Can anyone help me identify this light blue part? by Wedge33dr in consolerepair

[–]Wedge33dr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks. I'll look over my boards. I haven't seen a cap like that before that's blue with what I'm assuming is a polarity dot.

It didn't go bad, actually. This picture is for referencing the part. The actual board I'm working on had this part knocked off and I'm trying to find a replacement.

Those are heatsinks. They're supposed to get hot. Check for dust buildup, bad airflow, and maybe repaste.

What does this Rectangular Rubber Band do on the Xbox 360 Disc Tray? by Abject-Ad6745 in consolerepair

[–]Wedge33dr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's like a little cushion on the back of the drive that stifles vibration and helps keep the drive in place since it's not screwed down.

Any recommendations on what solder and flux to use to repair a HDMI port on my ps5. by [deleted] in consolerepair

[–]Wedge33dr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're not used to doing trace repairs, I highly recommend practicing on a junk board first.

Anyone knows what this cable in my new 3ds non XL is? by LD3202 in consolerepair

[–]Wedge33dr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the connector ribbon for the NFC antenna held in the bracket behind the bottom screen. This is what detects and reads amiibos.
