[Xbox Series] Rare controller motherboard

Found this motherboard while upgrading to TMR, the big motors are not soldered, they have connectors, the 3.5mm audio plug is soldered to the board, the usb c is different, the conector of the bottom is different, and they are labeled as M1107087-008 Revision 1.7 and Jelling Rev 2.2.

I’ve never seen this board, are they common or just really new versions? It’s a velocity green 1914 controller.

I don’t think it’s a fake board, the console recognizes it, you can even update the firmware and recalibrate the sticks.

[Nintendo Switch] no display backlight only

So I got this switch fir dirt cheap, it was working fine, I modded it. And today display just went out, I only get the backlight no image, but touchscreen still responds and I can boot to OS from hekate. Console came with fuse near USB-C port bridged (old one probably blew) and that brow USB filter component bridged too. Console also didn't have SP1 component and one to the right of SP2. But it worked fine like that. (before I modded it and after).

Any advice?

[Xbox Series X] Controller only working wirelessly after thumbstick mod

I have done a thumbstick replacement on my Series X controller - it is working, all button presses, new thumb sticks - all working.
However since doing this the controller does not work with a battery pack in (unless plugged in). It does not connect to my PC, but connecting wirelessly to the Xbox works just fine.

This is my first solder job I’ve done so feel free to slate it - it’s not perfect but i think happy with it, I scratched up some solder mask etc but nothing is shorted to ground as far as I checked at least on the thumbstick through holes.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Disc won't spin on gamecube

My game disc won't spin on its own, its not a console issue as far as I can tell, but I'm no tech savvy. Other games are running fine. I have to open the lid a spin it manually and if that works I get an error message. This is the second copy of this game I've tried, the previous was scratched and couldn't be read, but it did spin.

[PS5] Can anyone tell me this is NOT planned obsolescence?

This is a stock PS5, never opened—its seals were intact, though it was very dusty. My client brought it to me because the liquid metal had already failed, but they also mentioned that moving the HDMI cable caused the image to flicker. As you can see, everything else on the board has good solder, but the HDMI port has no tin on its contacts. Let me tell you, guys: this isn't the first one I've seen like this, and it probably won't be the last, which is really sad.

[PS5] Help reconnecting Optical Drive Ribbon Cable to Motherboard

Title.

I got my ps5 cleaned recently, then found myself in a safe mode update cycle with the latest system software update. Internet searches of the error code (SU101312-8) led to the common error being that the ribbon cable is loose.

I took it apart and checked both sides of the cable, this side was loose but despite holding the clasp open, the ribbon won’t re-seat.

Please help.

PS2 cannot read DVDs, reads CDs perfectly tho

Is this most probably a faulty laser? I'm also concerned about the spinning motor but my main assumption is the laser

[PS5] Took it for cleaning because it was stored and now I’m told it needs a something on the motherboard fixed

I’m not very knowledgeable about consoles, so I’d really appreciate some advice from people who know more about PS5s.

I was gifted a PS5 by a friend who bought it around 2023. She barely used it over the past year. It was mostly sitting in her living room TV stand and probably only turned on once or twice every couple of months.

When I received it, I had to store it for a couple more months because of a military PCS. After unpacking it, I noticed some light dust and figured it just needed a basic cleaning. I watched a few videos about cleaning it myself, but I was worried I’d damage something and didn’t have the proper tools, so I took it to uBreakiFix specifically for a cleaning.

They told me they noticed some “slowing down” and storage issues and said I may need a “decoder” or “encoder” on the motherboard related to the liquid metal. I’m not even sure I’m using the right terminology.

Does this sound legitimate? I have had some issues with Fortnite updates taking hours and sometimes not completing, so I’m wondering if that could be related.

I’m hesitant to authorize a repair if it involves replacing or modifying an original motherboard component and potentially creates bigger problems.

Would you take it back and decline the repair, or does what they’re telling me sound like a legitimate PS5 issue?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

UPDATE: Thank you all for all the replies! I definitely read each one and decided yeah I should go back and pick it up since they aren’t answering the phone. Sure enough I go in and ask for an explanation of what was wrong because it was turning on and just needed a dust cleaning, they started saying when they opened it some Liquid Metal got on some of the chips and now it won’t boot up! So I told them I’m not paying for a something I didn’t cause. The manager came out and now he said he’ll double check the work on it personally to confirm what exactly the issue was because the tech isn’t here and they’re just reading the notes. Basically I told them give it back to me how I gave it to you and I don’t want any fix. But yeah, basically it got more screwed up like you all said! What a bummer man! Literally they broke it.
