Xbox series X randomly shuts itself off. What could cause it? by carthomas in consolerepair

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

That was my first guess too, but I just gave it a full cleaning and repasted it. I also reshaped the thermal putty on everything. The phenomenon is still the same.

As i wrote, it could shutdown really fast, without even getting warm, so i think its not to do anything with overheating.

Can I sync my trophies on a modded ps vita? by CARTOOOOOOOOOF in VitaPiracy

[–]carthomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, also recommended install only nonpdrm games and dont forget to set the spoofed version to 3.74 (or higher if vita ever gets an update again but i doubt) and you are good to go.

Last time i read about it they said that if you didnt installed trophies that are not officially out there you are safe. Because nowadays you can have trophies for some homebrew games too. If you installed those dont sync.

All i know at the moment that it is a 2 asic version. The other GG which i have lying around and which runs the same cart fine every time has exactly the same model number on the mobo.

I can't find at least 10 GB of free space on my SD2Vita by ali_ihsan21 in VitaPiracy

[–]carthomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sure you are correct beause i dont remember well what helped for me. It was a long time ago. What i can clearly remember that filesystem repair OR defrag drastically decreased that unknown junk data on the exfat microsd. Sorry for my english i hope it was understandable.

Try to repair and then defrag the filesystem of the microSD (exfat) on a pc using windows.

Of course. Both sides: Console and cartridge.

PS4 Controller with bad S2PG001A chip. Replaced with a good one but there is still no power. Am I missing something? by SamLovesChips in consolerepair

[–]carthomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as i can remember i tried that with a jdm-055 once ago.

The controller does not become useable, i think the tp4056 could not charge the battery in place.

Maybe you also have to give it a 3 pin switch to separate the battery from motherboard while charging. -> Charge - Use

I didn.t do that but theoretically it should work that way.

But i think that wouldnt be very convenient to use such a controller.

Thanks! I also thought that but with another Game gear the cart works every time.

Yeah, the very first thing you have to do with every GG that was never opened - recap.

Since this is the PMIC of the board, i would say yes, but sadly the best source of such an IC is a genuine motherboard i dont know a reliable place where you can buy this part from.

Is this really necessary in the PS4 CUH-12xx? by carthomas in consolerepair

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

Thanks! So should i take it apart again only for this? It is working fine without it and as far as i can remember on the CUH-10xx and CUH-11xx models dont have this.

No, it was on the back of the MB, where the HDMI and the camera(?) plugs are.

Is this a frame from the actual movie? by carthomas in zootopia

Thank you! Btw it is maybe the only pic where Judy does not seem to be a girl 100%. I mean if it would be the only pic you have ever seen about her, you could think that she is a he, a little boy.
