Troubleshooting a Series S
Hey guys, I got a Series S for free from my buddy a while back who didn't want to try any repairs on it. It's far out of warranty and I don't have any nearby repair shops so I've been tinkering with it myself before I just give up.
The issue I'm having is that when you start playing a game it will close and drop to the dashboard somewhere between 30 seconds and 2 minutes into gameplay. Only installed games. If you go to stream one with cloud gaming it's fine.
Did some reading online and using one of the expansion cards for the games was recommended so I snagged one, still the same story.
Redid the thermal paste, same result.
Placed a fan next to the intake for fresh air, same thing.
My next step is to swap out the power supply and see if maybe that is failing.
Anyone else have any other suggestions that I may have missed?
