What are the markings with the marker? Was this refurbished or what? The seal looked perfect and i don't think any average person would be able to reattach it that well, and shops just won't bother.

Also, whats with the stuff that leaked all over the place? What is that? Don't see anything that could've potentially leaked on the board, so something from the outside?

Its CHECHB00, Japanese console.

The battery inside my nintendo switch was having the expanding issue, so I replaced it using the ifixit guide and kit. After the replacement, it was working fine, I then put it into the dock to charge, and hours later it's no longer powering on.

Could I have damaged something when working on the replacement?

My buddy gave me his old Xbox series X but there appears to be something jammed in the hdmi out port (see picture), hdmi won’t go in and is clearly being stopped by whatever the small golden object is. I’ve attempted using a mechanical pencil to remove the item but it feels very lodged. The port next to is an hdmi in from SAT/CABLE but my cable box only has one hdmi port and it’s used for the TV. Any suggestions?

I have been playing the new Lego Batman game on my ps5 and my character models have been fine for the first 20 minutes. Then they began to glitch like this. How do I fix this?

Edit: I got intact with Playstation support and they are going to repair my console for free because I still had a 1 year warranty.

Hello community.

I'm reaching out to you guys about my Twin Famicom that upon buying it, I had zero issues with it, plays exactly how it should, powered on, video, sound, everything, but after about an hour of gameplay, I get this screen. And then no working screen, mind you the controller works fine and it still plays sound and the disk drive works. I took the daughter board out and cleaned the contacts on it and the video did pick back up but then it went back to degradation.

I even had somebody replace the caps on the thing, did not work, someone else replaced the whole power/av board, it works so that daughter board is the problem, but he told me that everything from the resistors to the video component were replaced but it did not fixed the solution. Could anyone offer me suggestions as to what I could do? Thanks. Angelson999

So I got a TG-16 in for repair that would only display a green screen when turned on. Before I even bothered looking into that I figured I would recap it first, they were surely all bad at this point if it was never done previously. Of course when I opened it up a few of the caps leaked everywhere with corrosion all over the board.

I was able to clean it up with only 2 pins on one of the IC's coming off during cleaning. After a bit of grinding I was able to expose a spot to solder new legs and I think the repair came out looking pretty good.

Once I put it back together to test I still had green screen. The owner tested it with 2 different games neither of them worked so I am thinking a bad connection in the hue card slot as I have read that a green screen is a sign that the system cant read the game properly.

If anyone here familiar with these things? I am wondering if there is anything else I could check out besides the card slot?

Thanks

Top Screen has cracks and doesn't work

Alright, so I got this PS2 alongside another one I bought about a year ago. The other one is spotless compared to this one. I took this one apart with the intention of trying to save it but that’ll be a huge bite. I’ve tried to sell it to console restoration content creators but got no reply. I really don’t want to throw this away but i’m not seeing any other way of going about it. What are your thoughts?

Does anyone have any ideas? I cleaned the contacts with 91% IPA but no changes. I found it in a box and it probably hasn't worked in 10+ years as far as I know.

I just took apart this PS2 slim to replace the cmos battery as the original went dead. I put everything back together and the laser ribbon keeps coming undone. The motor for the laser will continuously spin and and not position itself where it needs to be and almost makes a rattling noise. Ive reseated the ribbon 4 times now and it keeps falling out and not seating properly. Any tips?

Original Nintendo Switch I picked up with a broken USB C port. I've replaced the USB C port and now the console has an issue where booting, it displays logo and it jumps side to side then turns off.

Any ideas? 💡

Hi at all, my PS5 is not powering on anymore, while checking the board i found a very hot chip, to be shure i check'ed it with a thermal smartphone cam. Its way hotter than it should be i guess. I also found 2 capacitors, they beep on bouth sides (shorted out) they look fine maybe they just connectet with the smale chip thats cooking. Can anyone tell me what kind of chip that black chip (022 marking on top) is. And to be save what kind of caps these 2 are ? Big thx in advance, BR.

Hello everyone. First time posting here. I have this xbox series x 1tb for about 2-3 years i think.

It was working fine until this past weekend I noticed a deep groaning noise on startup.
Then the next day it started making the noise above while playing.

It is extremely loud.

I have taken it apart and cleaned the inside (hardly dusty) and removed the fan to clean that as well. But it still makes that noise.
There was no debris or loose looking parts that i could see.

Has anyone had this same issue and did you find a fix? Or should i just trade it in and get a new one.

Thank you if you reply with help!
