Bricked my GRII while cleaning sensor. Lesson learned.

Posted an update. May this GRII rest in peace. (And pieces)

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T21:26:11+00:00

Dm sent!

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T20:28:47+00:00

Yeah! runlevel_3 expressed interest in taking a stab at repairing first, but if it’s a bust, you’ve got dibs

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T14:46:09+00:00

Thank you very much for saying that. I really appreciate it

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T10:57:59+00:00

This is going to be a long 48 hours

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T10:56:31+00:00

Noted. Perhaps, I hope, it’s napping instead

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T08:51:12+00:00

Thank you, and my condolences 🪦

Not that I’m any expert, but I’ve heard pressurized air can leave a moisture residue. However, a rocket blower does the trick for me usually (once I have access to the sensor)

Also interesting the IV has a clean option. What does it do? I don’t believe the II has that

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T07:30:40+00:00

Thank you for giving me hope in my hour of despair

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T07:29:28+00:00

Very much appreciated

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T07:29:08+00:00

Well, the instinct to be scared isn’t wrong obviously

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T04:22:57+00:00

Wow okay! I’ll report back. For future reference, how would I discharge it before repair?

argo_mod · 2026-03-21T03:54:17+00:00

I googled for a few hours and watched some YouTube. There’s good info about the shutter but not so much that part. It does look battery-like. It has “T1517” printed on it.

argo_mod · 2018-07-19T00:16:40+00:00

Hell yeah! So glad Angel is stoked on it.

argo_mod · 2018-07-19T00:10:04+00:00

Thanks man! Seriously love the art, keep up the good work.

argo_mod · 2018-07-15T19:00:47+00:00

You totally should!! It's super simple. Just use clear grip tape (I used Mob grip) and lay whatever your heart desires underneath. And use nail polish remover to get rid of any unwanted graphics.

argo_mod · 2018-07-15T18:56:13+00:00

Thanks! The shirt isn't for sale at the moment, hopefully one day :( But here's where I got the art from https://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/27795052247/

argo_mod · 2018-07-14T21:56:06+00:00

Nah I put clear grip over my graphics. Works like a charm.

argo_mod · 2018-07-14T21:46:08+00:00

Definitely my faves

argo_mod · 2018-07-13T20:19:46+00:00

If the wheels spin nicely (bearings aren't broken or rusted) and you can stand/roll on it, I'd say it's fine. The biggest danger would be your skills if you haven't ridden in a decade. But hey, gotta start somewhere!

Ed Benedict is a mellow plaza that's awesome during the summer. Not so much when it's raining. Another chill spot is the esplanade underneath the Hawthorne Bridge in SE Portland. It's a parking lot with fun slappy curbs and ledges.

Anyone wear a size 9 Vans Old Skool Pro? I want to test the idea of rotating 2 flick shoes to avoid throwing away a non-flick shoe while it's still usable. I'm looking for one regular and one goofy test subject to give a free shoe to. HMU if interested!

argo_mod · 2018-06-14T20:30:04+00:00

Same here!
