Did I ruin my camera

Hello how is everyone doing today? I had recently got a Pentax K1000 that from a friend and he tested it and everything works and even showed me the scans from the pictures he recently took with it. When he gave it to me I decide to clean it so l first hit with a 72% alcohol wipe which I've heard is bad for the paint then I decide to dampen a cotton swab and put some hand soap on it and clean the body like that than follow up with a damp microfiber towel like the fuzzy one to get the soap off than wiped it dry it with a microfiber Cloth and I also wiped the viewfinder area with that damp fuzzy towel. Now I am really scared that I got soap trapped underneath the film advance lever and when I was cleaning the back of the lens the fibers on the towel were catching on the lens parts like those little metal parts that stick out so I'm scared they got damaged but I think they did not and same thing with the lens mount area the microfiber towel was catching on. And I also heard cleaning the viewfinder with water is bad. And also I clean the area of the light seals. So then after I got really paranoid and I kept wiping everything with a microfiber cloth and drying underneath the film advanced leaver with a rocket duster and a blow dryer on cold mode. I even called a store and he said that he can check it out but a full diagnose like to open the top would be 50 bucks but he can open the bottom. I don't think anything is wrong because I didn't dampen the cotton swab to the point it was just leaking water and I tested it again and the lever didn't sound weird and I dried it up a lot and even have a silica gel packet it in it I also live in California it is pretty dry out here. What do you guys think and should I clean with next time? thank you so much?

What is the best battery to buy?

Hello guys, I recently bought a PS Vita 1000 but it needs a replacement battery so I thought about getting a new old stock OEM one because I was thinking that OEM is best. That was my experience some other consoles but I hear good things about third-party ones and especially the third-party ones that have a more powerful battery. What’s a good trustable trustable brand to buy from I just want a battery that’s long lasting and the the lifespan is really long. I even saw one on AliExpress, but I’m not sure AliExpress has the more powerful ones. AliExpress has the SP 65M I’m pretty sure that’s its name. Do you guys have any good suggestions.

Update With 20 Dollar Vita

Hello how are you guys? So the charger finally came and the Vita has been charging for I think 5 hours but it’s just been blinking the orange light and when I try to turn it on it shows me the dead battery Icon. Should I leave it overnight to charge or is that a dangerous thing to do or should I just open it up disconnect the battery and then connect it again. I think I might just buy a new battery but i just wanna turn it on already.

Update: After charging it for a really long time and trying to boot it I gave up and put it back in the drawer but than 30 minutes after I go to check it out one more time before bed and Boom it turned on Thank Jesus . I was so excited haha it looked so beautiful turning on. Now imma just leave it on charge overnight. Thank you guys for your help I appreciate you guys and always thank Jesus:)

How to Fix Deleting the Apps For modding.

Hello how are you guys doing today? So I had bought a PSP recently and I saw that it was modded with the Ark 4 software with only 2 games in it and had decided to try to delete Ark 4 because I thought it wasn’t a modern version so I deleted all the apps and try to do a hard reset to get rid of it but the Ark-4 firmware did not delete. But since I want to mod now how does that work will new files I put in just override everything and delete the other files or should I manually delete all the ark4 files and than put mine in? What should I do?

Hey yall how are you guys doing? What is the best charger to get for my PSVita. When it comes to retro handhelds I’ve always heard that an OEM one is better but I see tons of good reviews on non OEM ones and there’s also the USB-C adapter ones. The photo i put down is a 3rd party one. I just hope the battery on this Vita isn’t fully drained it hasn’t been used in over 6 years now. What do you guys think ?thank you.

Hello how are you guys doing? I have some questions about derma stamping. I have been derma-stamping for a month now but my derma stamp is about to expire because it says only to use 8 times. The one I have is adjustable all the way up to 3mm but I just don’t like that it’s only 8 times use. Is there any better derma stamps I saw these two on amazon. And I have only been derma stamping my domes like my hairline and stuff and I’m also wondering since I am only derma stamping those areas will the needles still dull faster. My routine is Monday Friday and I have been using 0.5 but have been thinking about going up to 0.8 and don’t know if I should. I also use Rosemary oil but I do want to buy minoxidil but I have heard that when you use minoxidil your hair stays dependent on it. I do want to buy another one anyways what do you guys recommend I should buy the first one has less but more positive reviews and it’s adjustable but the second one isn’t adjustable and only 0.25mm and the 3rd one is the one I used it’s also pretty adjustable. I am asking if there is better. The 4th picture is my hair I also use rosemary since again all I’m doing is my hairline area and I have seen some progress with it like lots of baby hairs and that picture is after a haircut. So there is progress but I want to keep going. What do you guys think about it I just need some advice. Thank you guys.
