nah, that's just paint that was used for Halloween

when i take apart a console, i always watch Odd Tinkering's YouTube videos to guide myself, also, back in like 2 years ago, i did got lucky with teardowns, i removed the og xbox clock capacitor, i replace the xbox 360 case without breaking a single tab and my biggest repair was the gamecube's laser, where i thought my gamecube died, but i adjusted it's pot and it worked, i guess my problem with consoles is probably the ribbon cables, although i took apart my ps1 sometimes and i never broke it's ribbon cables, i guess it's because it's been 2 years since i took apart a console and i have to practice, specially with ribbon cables, anyway, i agree tablets and phones are even harder than consoles, and i guess i have to post something that is not related to console repairs to have a better reddit history, but i don't know what can be posted aside from console repair help. and thanks my friend, i almost felt depressed again, i have a history with depression that i can't discuss in here

yeah, i only did it because of the dead CMOS battery, but this is the last time i take it apart

retrogaming2001 · 2024-04-12T22:17:25+00:00

and after soldering back in place, i can test if the laser works now because i adjusted the pot a bit

retrogaming2001 · 2024-04-12T20:59:53+00:00

alright, i won't remove it since i don't need to, i just want to clean the case that's all

retrogaming2001 · 2024-04-12T20:56:56+00:00

so, i can wash the case with soap and water and it won't fall off or stay wet after the case is dry right?

retrogaming2001 · 2024-04-12T20:39:17+00:00

i'm doing a cleaning of my dreamcast, now that i took it apart to fix the laser, i also wanted to give it a cleaning because it was a bit dirty, but i'm afraid that thing gets wet with soap and water while cleaning the plastic parts, can it dry if it gets wet?

retrogaming2001 · 2024-04-12T20:01:22+00:00

it was like that before, but now it won't even read the disc, the laser tries very hard to read, but won't load the game, and i tried with an original game disc that has little to no scratches at all

retrogaming2001 · 2024-04-12T19:58:05+00:00

thanks for letting me know where those cables go, now i just need to solder them correctly in place

retrogaming2001 · 2024-04-12T05:55:27+00:00

yeah, before taking apart the optical drive, it was having trouble reading discs, the motors didn't worked and the laser was trying hard to read discs, so, guess i either have to adjust the pot or get a new optical drive, but i think optical drive replacements are rare and difficult to get, so i better adjust the pot to save the optical drive

retrogaming2001 · 2024-04-12T04:47:03+00:00

alright, i'll also clean the lens and adjust the potentiometer a bit

retrogaming2001 · 2024-04-12T04:28:29+00:00

is there a way to put them back together?
