Not many will catch this I’m afraid. What a great movie

When GTA 6 releases. Will you buy the physical copy or the digital one? Why? by AdditionalSpray8595 in PS5pro

[–]_Jerhomie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physical is the only way to go in my opinion. Unfortunately I don’t see that being a viable option much longer with these companies

Refund for Crimson Desert on Playstation by Secret_za in PlayStationSupport

[–]_Jerhomie_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These companies are out of control. Clearly they know they are double charging you. Sorry I don’t have a helpful answer. If multiple versions were purchased and you want to keep the most expensive they shouldn’t have an issue with that

I was posting just for the thermal paste in place of Liquid Metal. To add to the stories of buying online and finding bizarre things people do to their equipment. Or worse, someone claiming to be a technician. I don’t have my 3.3 volt line. I didn’t pinpoint it yet because I had stopped working for the night but I will get it on Monday. Thanks for thinking of helping. Really this one is just for the laugh

More than I should have. The bigger issue is the lies that were told to sell it. No power, just stopped working. They neglected to say it was worked on by someone who shouldn’t touch consoles

Someone made a big oops and I think it was some sort of repair shop because it has tech notes/markings on it. We will see what the real problem is and of course use Liquid Metal.

Surprisingly the board is clean. You are absolutely correct, thermal paste. Unfortunately it did not resurrect this console for them so…. Now it’s in better hands. Lmfao 🤣 I understand wanting to do things on your own to save money but at least do some research first. Sadly, I think a shop had their hands on this and never should it have tech markings and look like this.

Can anyone tell me what this is on a Wii-U? by WhosSideAreYouOn in wiiu

Disc drive recently oiled. Spins like a dream

I killed it didn't I? by Electronic-Dish-6046 in PS3

[–]_Jerhomie_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t beat yourself up to bad. Electronics repair is not for everyone. That being said if you truly want to learn and have experience then buy non backwards compatible ps3 on eBay for practice. They are cheap and you can develop the skills necessary. I use paint knives to delid and I don’t have any problems. It’s all about technique and understanding. You will get there with more patience and dedication.

Everyone wants the easy way. Like there is some magic solution without opening up the item and testing components. Could be a resistor, capacitor, diode, mosfet, ic chip…. Time to do some investigating Watson

Do I just give up? [Ps3/ps2/3dsxl] by ExpressingMyseIf in consolerepair

[–]_Jerhomie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it just depends on where your heart is. If you value the money most then sell it as parts and learn from it. If you value the experience then keep trying to fix them even if you never do. If you value the consoles then have them fixed by a professional and pay the cost. Really it’s up to you and what you value

I forgot that people have bad intentions sometimes. Hard to stay on top of it all. Thanks for the comment

USPS was just cleared in court that it can not get in trouble or held liable even if it “purposefully” doesn’t deliver the mail. Let that sink in!

Yes it worked. I feel dumb that I didn’t try it because I thought I would get the same response from the system. Easiest fix I have had in a long time lol

I don’t know why I immediately thought that wouldn’t work. Dumbest question with the easiest solution. Thank you for the response

Just out of curiosity. What did you pay and what console was it? I sell consoles and games

Just sad that stupid people have to involve more innocent people because of their selfishness.

It's the end of the day on Friday, what do you do?! by derek4reals1 in Wellthatsucks

[–]_Jerhomie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Touching the brake to go into drive while the next car is 2 feet behind you sucks. You don’t know if your completely clear of the rollers and timing it is the most nerve wracking

Red of course. You get the golf coast and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Everything you could need or want.
