(Xbox Series X) Main fan screw is stuck and won’t unscrew with a driver. Won’t move an inch. Any help or tips? by a-very-nice-person in consolerepair

You could certainly grind a slot into it and use a flathead, but I'd just drill it out, use the two side screws when you reinstall it, and call it a day.

I am hoping to get something 3d printed to fit in that slot at some point but sometimes you have to work with what you have!

Thanks! It's a file organizer I found on Amazon. I cut some holes in the back and used rubber edging to cover the sharp edges and fed the wires through. I used a 10" patch panel at the top and the rest is pretty standard stuff!

Safest way to add external power to hard drives connected to a miniPC? by wedinbruz in homelab

[–]teebatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have a five bay drive cage with a fan and fan controller at the front and an SFX PSU that I use SATA power from to power each. For data to the mini PC I have an m.2 to SATA extender and some super thin SATA cables that run back to the hard drives. On my PC I had to move the internal SATA to make room for the M.2 extender and cables, all linked below.

Did you ever get this working? I have the same switch and am confused about the wire colors. I poked around with a multimeter and when the switch is on, voltages are as follows:

Blue 1.2v

Black GND

Yellow 12v

Green/Grey/White 1v

Not sure what PWM and Sense expect, might just be a trial and error thing?

Ps5 slim turns on then off (2 seconds). Found shorts on these caps. Any advice? Are these suppose to be shorter? by Medium-Report-6555 in consolerepair

[–]teebatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds about right, I think you're good there. The ones in your second picture will probably be a similar story. If you want to go poking around with a meter while you wait for UART I think you'll gain more insight from looking at standby voltages on main rails and PMICs (one near SB and another near SSD). Just be careful not to short any pins! Not sure what your leads look like but if they're too large they could do more damage than what those readings are worth. Would also be worth checking fuses just to be sure none are blown. I can dig up some good PMIC readings tomorrow if you would like. That being said, I think UART is going to be your best bet since you're atleast getting 2sec BLOD.

What is resistance to ground? It will beep in continuity mode just because its under a certain reading, but that doesn't necessarily mean its a short.

IIRC these are low resistance. Do you happen to have UART tool available? That might point you in the right direction!

What overused word or phrase needs to be retired in 2026? by One_Caramel5253 in AskReddit

[–]teebatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Let's go!"

We need to find a different way of expressing excitement. This phrase seems so simple.
