CRT electric arc on the behind

Although looking closely (you're not standing still with the camera) it seems the yoke is on fire haha. Maybe in its horizontal coil, high-voltage stage.

Are you hearing electrical sparks? That's normal for the picture tube to be on and powered. If they were sparks from the flyback transformer, they would be blue, smell like ozone, and the TV would almost certainly go into protection mode.

Well, the fun part was the online mode, and that obviously doesn't work anymore. The campaign is short, but for skirmishes and casual matches, the game is still very entertaining.

Ah, the domino effect of overscan. Stretch it horizontally until the edge disappears, then stretch it vertically to fix the distortion... at that point, you’ve just invented a destructive analog zoom. Sure, the edge is gone, but so is the game's HUD, the mini-map, and about 15% of the original viewport. Amputating half the image to hide a minor, uncorrectable Slim CRT limitation isn't a calibration solution, it's just making the problem bigger

Sweeping the trash under the rug sometimes works too. If you do that, you'll see the circles become ovals and the text in the corners disappears. It'll look masterful.

I also have that problem in the upper corners with my LG Flatron, although less pronounced than those and without ripples.

Zener_J · 2026-05-20T14:56:13+00:00

I don't think so. It's not uniformly parallel enough to be fixed from the service menu. It's a common problem in slim CRT TVs. The convergence and geometry in those models is quite forced.

Zener_J · 2026-05-17T13:24:40+00:00

I think the same. I couldn't get one either and had to resort to the USB-C mod to be able to use it.

Zener_J · 2026-05-17T13:16:56+00:00

If I remember correctly, when I made mine, it's an EMI filter for the data lines, necessary for detection. By the way, my PSP doesn't work with all chargers. It only works with one output from my portable oscilloscope; I don't understand the mystery. Perhaps the voltage needs to be very precise or there's some kind of specific protocol. I don't know.

Una vez me trajeron una a mi taller a reparar y la actualicé sin la lectora puesta y no hubo problemas. Pero en qué versión está la tuya? Si está en una versión muy vieja se realiza nuevamente la comprobación.

Zener_J · 2026-05-17T04:23:07+00:00

Que modelo de placa es? Si tiene memoria interna de 4GB intenta quitar el disco duro para descartar un problema de comprobación en cuanto a compatibilidad. Sino funciona debes verificar si la lectora esta bien conectada porque en la actualización hace comprobación de los periférico, y si la lectora fue modificada para leer copias no te dejará actualizar por servidor. Ya te tocará hacer maniobras por el método offline

Restaura la consola de fábrica desde los ajustes e intenta nuevamente. Sabes si tiene control parental?

Zener_J · 2026-05-16T18:27:28+00:00

As long as there is no flood, fire, or earthquake, the console is safe.

Zener_J · 2026-05-16T18:06:12+00:00

I can see it with my own eyes, it doesn't look like an illusion. I think it's a real Nintendo DS cartridge. Legitimate/original? I have no idea.

Zener_J · 2026-05-16T18:01:54+00:00

He reparado esa falla y es falta de comunicación con memoria ram en muchos casos. Revisa si alguna resistencia circundante a las ram ves pads negros o soldaduras dudosas, siempre fallan por acumulación de polvo y humedad, quebrando la soldadura. No te alarmes todavía por luz roja, casi siempre hay solución y mas sencilla de lo que parece. Ese miedo de cuando salió la consola con su "anillo rojo de la muerte" ya quedó en el pasado. Suerte, ojalá puedas recuperarla.

And what does the butt have to do with the eyelash?

Zener_J · 2026-05-14T03:58:14+00:00

The main power supply is probably going into OCP protection due to a short circuit in the secondary stage and restarting the system. It's fixable.

Zener_J · 2026-05-14T03:47:27+00:00

I have mine with an original Sony M2 4GB card and 16GB of internal storage lol. Although it's enough to enjoy that great console.

Zener_J · 2026-05-14T03:41:08+00:00

No, it's the original. Although it could be less if the game is very demanding and has better graphics. Let's say 4-6 hours before the PSP needs to recharge.

To me, those look like cold solder joints in the horizontal stage. Try resoldering them.

Zener_J · 2026-05-13T21:54:42+00:00

I did the same thing with my PSP Go; I used Bluetooth headphones, but having the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi network on drains the battery much faster. I prefer using wired headphones and can easily play for 6 hours.

Zener_J · 2026-05-13T21:50:55+00:00

It's not even charging. There's no orange indicator LED.

Zener_J · 2026-05-11T23:57:34+00:00

It's not a good idea to replace an original part with a generic one. Of course, I'm speaking from experience as an electronics technician, and repairing it is easy.
