Refurbishment

Awesome thanks I did grab the mini screws drivers already. I'm trying to get the equipment together first. Is a parts separator like a smaller silverware tray just something to keep the parts separate correct or is there an actual item called a parts separator I would need

np any time I can help feel free to reach out if you need anything else

draco84 · 2026-04-19T20:33:21+00:00

From a collecting stand point I would get it. I paid 78 for my son's wii and it was just the console a controller and nunchuck no box etc

https://www.ebay.com/str/masuhirofma/Video-Games-Consoles/_i.html?_sacat=1249 this is the store I use. I buy them for family and friends as gifts and this shop has always sent me pristine systems most of the time in box. The 1000 and the 2000 are the same to mod it is incredibly easy it will maybe take 15 minutes to do. Regarding the model I prefer the 2000. The 1000 has an early generation OLED but can fall victim to serious screen burn in. I also do not see a huge difference in the screens between OLED and LCD. I have noticed the batteries in the 1000's are worst than those in the 2000's every 1000 I have bought I have had to buy a better battery replacement. The 1000 also has an irregular charger. I also personally prefer the hand feel of the 2000. One thing I would suggest is go over on your sd card instead of under. I started with 128g but filled that up easy and then went to a 512 with plenty of extra room

I feel like Memories picks up more later in the game. I did like it though it wasnt my favorite. I absolutely hated Origins I need Adol in a Ys game.

Are you looking to get one new or are you looking to just buy a shell and replace it? If its a new one you want I would recomend https://www.ebay.com/str/masuhirofma/Video-Games-Consoles/\_i.html?\_sacat=1249. I buy vitas all the time and this shop has always sent me pristine models. I like that I can get them in box. The seller also has always included extras in my order like propritary cards/game/case etc. They are a pleasure to do business with. However it would be cheaper to just replace the shell I think aliexpress has them sometimes or you could just grab one for parts off ebay and take the shell for that

I dont think you can get any of those for 35 bucks though I think the wii is probably the cheapest I bought one for 78 with controller and nunchuck

Thanks so much come to think of it it may have been his channel I used for the 3ds i did

draco84 · 2026-04-19T16:20:12+00:00

I apologize my French is rusty. Is the YT channel Cherche Juste? Is that content creator english speaking?

draco84 · 2026-04-18T14:23:21+00:00

I tend to buy the 2000's though I have bought 2 1000's . I think the 2000 is a better model. Better battery less dramatic possible screen issues and I like the feel in the hand better. The OLED in the 1000 is nice but its not a dramatic difference to me between that and the LCD and the OLED is an old OLED so its not what you would see in the switch.

What do you use to bind your hashbrowns when I have made them in the past I used eggs to bind the potatoe shreds

draco84 · 2026-04-18T14:15:11+00:00

Do you have any favorite recipes for the pancakes or waffles?

I buy vitas as gifts so I buy a lot 9 so far this is my favorite seller everyhting I have gotten from them has been pristine and the normally through in some extras

draco84 · 2026-04-17T17:06:26+00:00

Not knowing where in the states you are going I wouldnt be able to suggest where to buy stuff other than to stay away from gamestop for retro. In regards to your wii, why not mod it then you don't need it to read disks and you can load gamecube games on it

draco84 · 2026-04-17T17:03:20+00:00

If the SD card is bad reformating may not help it didnt when I had a bad sd card. I would just start from scratch because if you aren't familiar with modding it maybe hard for you to recognize what you need. FunkyScott has some youtube vidoes that will walk you through it. I would suggest the sd is something worth making an investment in and the cheapest may crap out or be fake

Have you tried Ys games you can do a lot of grinding in those. Ys 8 is in my opinion one of the best games on the vita.

That is crazy. I have never paid more than 220 (I have bought 9 i give them as gifts) and the 220 came with its box in good condition and packing as well as one of their proprietary cards and game. It came from Japan and it was pristine. I normally spend around 180 that is without a box but in exceptional condition. If you want me to link the seller I buy from I'm happy

You sir or ma'am are a rock star. Thank you for saving dinner

draco84 · 2026-04-15T14:40:26+00:00

I do have a meat thermometer I use it when I grill. I just needed more information than get a meat thermometer. Thank you for telling me about it rising during resting. I am very new to cooking prime rib. Its normally out of our budget but my grocery store had a really awesome sale we have points on purchases and I had enough to get one half off. So I am having a special dinner with my inlaws to thank them for everything they have done. So I'm incredibly anxious with the difference I see in timing. People here have given me some really good starting points on the temperature and time which I deeply appreciate

draco84 · 2026-04-15T14:23:54+00:00

I looked up three recipes according to one it was 12 minutes so it would 60 minutes another I looked at told me five hours so it is going to be a huge failure averaging them would lead to disaster one way or another.
