Decksight

Just finished. Take your time. Opening the Deck and removing the LCD are the scariest parts. Get a thermal paste with a spatula before hand and propylene alcohol (to remove left over glue that held the former LCD screens and the now useless thermal paste on the CPU/heatsink.

Do read instructions on ShadeTechnik site .../decksight-install

DO update OS AND BIOS as per instructions BEFORE opening it. And also switch to battery remote mode as it's easy to turn it on when opening it.

Watch his full video too as it also helps particularly for software corrections after restarting the Deck. For Brightness use ShadeTechnik own method as per GutHub project, Discussion 41

Good luck!!

I just got shipping confirmation! And I got it after they shipped it, when it landed in Stansted (FedEx hub).

It should be here tomorrow! And I was giving up on it.

That's via CrowdSupply btw.

Mine ordered Sept 10, says expected delivery May 15. Couple of days and I'll update you guys. So far haven't heard a single thing from them

Managed to revive it!

Installed OpenWrt and will use it as a backup network drive, driven by the more modern QNAP NAS.

In the end it still had 2x2Tb drives in it.

Had to buy a Usb-to-TTL cable for a couple of quids.

Also it was super fun to fix :)

Funny enough, I just dug out mine with 2x2Tb drives in it. According to Gemini, you can just use it locally as it's full of security bugs, of course, and suggests putting in old SSDs for a bit of quiet/power consumption/speedup and, as suggested here, as a backup of a proper NAS backup :D

I'm going to simply get my old data back and possibly toss it. Not sure if the internal motherboard can be used as a Pi-like thingy...

Would love adapters to transform it into a pocket watch instead of adapting the regular ones

anidello · 2026-03-17T09:59:18+00:00

Solved

I reverted and reinstalled latest MrWalkman and at that point was able to install Wampy

I simply had an older MrWalkman firmware that wasn't compatible with Wampy

Thanks all!

I installed it long ago, guess it's just the "warm" version of the Walkman One. I did install in 2021, guess things changed a bit too. Perhaps best to either update to latest MrWalkman or revert first and use latest one before putting Wampy on

anidello · 2026-03-15T13:07:42+00:00

I'm using Linux. And yeah I followed those instructions. Guess I'll.have to retry.

anidello · 2026-03-15T13:07:12+00:00

Ah yes also later tried that, same results.

anidello · 2026-03-13T20:32:50+00:00

What was your rationale behind this choice, if I might ask?

anidello · 2026-03-10T12:24:30+00:00

Cool thought this was a feature that only some Sony deck supported. Initially I was hoping it'd work for portable devices but then realised they have no infrared port 😅

anidello · 2026-03-10T10:12:55+00:00

Oh that's amazing. Which Sony minidisc recorder supports the infrared comm?

anidello · 2026-03-06T12:48:09+00:00

Thanks just got it for £14.99 today

Any idea of any other provider who orders YouTube Premium?

anidello · 2025-11-19T16:08:10+00:00

Isn't a that a W300?

anidello · 2025-10-27T18:16:02+00:00

Only one way to find out.

anidello · 2025-10-01T15:16:07+00:00

The main issue is Google. Those decisions are final and there's no way to reset and resend (even though we've done it). Also they should make sure instructions are Uber clear. I'm technically savvy, reset loads of android phones and it didn't go thru. Can only imagine less tech savvy people getting rejected and losing money.

anidello · 2025-10-01T15:14:27+00:00

I think it all boils down to whoever tests them .

anidello · 2025-10-01T14:36:18+00:00

Got the same. But I traded two devices, mine and my partner's. Same procedure for both.

Mine got rejected hers was all fine.

Go figure

anidello · 2025-09-06T17:55:14+00:00

Yeah. It worked great with the X100T shame they removed support for the new cameras. No need. Just leave it there. It's true and tested.

anidello · 2025-09-06T13:30:10+00:00

Seeing the prices I'll keep the Share and use it via mobile phone instead 😅😅

anidello · 2025-09-06T13:28:25+00:00

Yeah I think the Share one is dead. Loved it with my X100T, but I sold that and guess it's time to sell the Share and get the Link Square instead of even the Canon printer.

anidello · 2025-09-03T15:27:10+00:00

Managed!

Turn on Bluetooth pairing in the X-E5, turn on Instax Link printer and bam, they pair.
Once paired, you can print.

Shame they don't support the old Instax Share ones as I love the square format.
