PS5 controller pulses orange but won’t turn on

My controller which is the original one that came with the console has stopped working. It doesn’t power on. When connected via the usb c cable, it just pulses slowly orange. Pressing the power button does nothing. If I disconnect the cable it goes off completely. I’ve tried syncing the controller, swapping the battery, resetting the controller, I’ve also looked at using my other controller to go to settings to see if the controller is listed there on Bluetooth connections but the controller is gone. Any ideas? TIA

Xbox 360 hdmi converter

So I have an old 360 I’m gonna sell. It has a friend’s old profile on it that I need to delete. The problem is my TV doesn’t have the red, yellow and white display cable input and the Xbox doesn’t have a HDMI port. What do I need to buy to convert it?

[Switch] best tool to remove stripped screws

Bought a Nintendo Switch 2nd hand which has an issue with its P13USB but whilst stripping it down I found one of the screw heads was stripped. I’ve tried almost everything to get it out but no luck. I need advice on which tool to use to remove it - I already have a precision screwdriver set but was thinking of drilling it out or using a tiny rotary cutting. Any ideas

So my Nintendo Switch has stopped connecting to my TV. It was working yesterday and today nothing. I have tried a different HDMI cable, cleaned the ports on console and the docking station and yes I’m on the right channel on the TV. As you can see in the video the green light comes on but as soon as the console docks nothing happens. Any advice?

So bought this faulty PS5 controller but the right trigger is permanently pressed. I’ve stripped it down and cleaned it but can’t see anything broken, damaged or in the wrong place. Any suggestions?
