Hi nice people of r/consolerepair! This is my first broken console im trying to fix up. It won't turn on, though the seller had said the light turns on but unfortunately he won't do so for me. There is very clear water damage. Im wondering if anyone can point me in the correct direction of what I can do about this. Thank you :))

I have a rog ally z1e, it has 0 activity. Usb meter shows pd activity with voltage at 20V and current draw only 0.05A. Checked the usb c connector diode reading, found the D+ line is only 0.237v, and D- is open. Traced and found the components are ok and lines are ok till it goes under tha apu (the component marked 0 is the last) . Battery is dead 0v; Also, the terminal has no charge voltage.

Is this apu fault?

As the name suggests I have installed a Modbo 5 both in a PAL 39003 & 30003R, both of which have stopped reading discs after the install, even after removing the chips and returning the PS2s back to stock.

Both read games prior to the Modbo install and I have installed the chip on a few consoles previously and never had any issues. Also all other features of the Modbo work as intended.

After the Modbo install the 30003R read PS2 games but not PS1, and after some fiddling, now it takes a minute to even attempt to load a disc and can only launch PS2 games to the DVD player menu, which does suggest the laser is either on the way out or needs to be recalibrated. This happens with both disc drives.

The 39003 now just spits out a disc error no matter what. The laser does turn on and attempt to read the disc for a second, but does not progress further than that. As this occurs with both disc drives, I have a feeling this may be an issue with the PS2 motherboard rather than the disc drive, but I'm not too sure.

I have cleaned the boards with alcohol and checked for shorts and everything looks fine. I have heard sometimes fuses can cause this issue or a faulty la6508 chip. The games I am using to test are a legitimate PS1 and a silver DVD PS2 game and work fine in other consoles.

Before attempting a PMAP and looking into getting replacement lasers, is there any other areas I should check first which could have caused these issues?

Was wondering if anyone knew what could cause this issue? typical start is 300mA right? then it settles on 10mA... not sure what the culprit could be. i bought this used. noticed liquid metal was on random locations... not sure if that could be the culprit.

Hello, I have replaced an HDMI on a PS5 Slim 2116 and have lost a small chip during the repair. I have had trouble finding any info on this version of the board as none of the other PS5 slims I have worked on have had these chips at this location. Initially I thought it was a 100pf capacitor but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have circled in red the one in red I believe the missing chip to be, the one in blue is the 100pf cap that doesn't seem to be doing anything. If anyone knows what these chips are so I can get a proper replacement for the missing one would be appropriated!

I'm trying to clean up my old childhood Wii fit balance board and this liquid keeps oozing out of it... The battery compartment is pristine, so what on earth is it? It turns on when I put batteries in, but I don't have my console set up to test how well it works.

Does anyone know if my motherboard can still be repaired?

hello i got the yellow light of death in my ps3 is there any way to fix it?

if there is pls text me and help me cus i really want to fix it

J’ai une PS5 Slim qui est malheureusement en panne. Un réparateur indépendant a effectué un diagnostic et m’a indiqué que la carte mère était défectueuse.
Ma console n’est plus sous garantie et je souhaite faire appel au service après-vente de Sony Canada. Le montant demandé pour le service est d’environ 350 $.
J’aimerais avoir vos retours d’expérience sur plusieurs points :
Est-ce que Sony accepte de la réparer quelle a été ouverte par un réparateur
Si Sony remplace la console, est-elle neuve ou reconditionnée ?
Est-ce que Sony accepte de réparer une PS5 après qu’un diagnostic a déjà été effectué par un réparateur indépendant ? Le fait qu’un autre réparateur ait diagnostiqué une panne de carte mère peut-il poser problème ?
Les 350 $ garantissent-ils une réparation ou un remplacement si la console est irréparable ?

So this is my second attempt of doing liquid metal first time my ps5 still kept shutting off now I'm cleaning the apu and replacing the whole liquid metal.

I buffed off some of the burnt liquid metal on the opposite side of the motherboard now I'm wondering if this need to be buffed out or no

Does this mean the hdmi port is dead?

I'm in the UK.

Anyone know any recommended repair services?

Or even how to diagnose the issue?

Thanks in advance

Backstory: I was on the hunt for a 2nd ps5. I didn’t care if it worked or not. I just wanted to have spare parts.
I came across this “HDMI needs repair” ad.
The seller says he took it to an electronic repair place and it wasn’t repairable.
Whatever, I took the chance and grabbed it. Upon opening it up this is what I’ve seen 😭 is it cooked?

Hello there, I bought a New 2ds Xl hacked and some times when I’m playing simply restarts or got a black screen with error (see images). I have to let it rest few hours to try play it again and works for some minutes or one hour, but always return some error. I updated luma, change the micro sd and formatted it, also change de battery but nothing works. Can you help me to fix it? Thank you.

This is my first HDMI replacement attempt. After a little more research, i should have added some 60/40 solder to decrease the melting point of the lead free solder. I am not super worried about this one since I paid $20 for it, but it did somewhat work before the repair unless you touched the hdmi cord and I tried multiple hdmi cords to verify it wasnt the cord.

I had a hard time melting the solder, but once it finally melted while using hot air and soldering pen it dropped right out. When I flipped the board over though I saw the damage that occurred from all the heat i was using. Did I completely screw up or is it fixable.

Using a yihua 862BD+.

The pic below shows the Armada (plasma) bottom screen, stop screen not working.

Any tips on fixing the top screen not displaying with what appears to be the popular (common) disconnected pin issue?

Any videos on how to connect the pin? Any solutions to keep the pin connected, and to prevent this issue from happening again?

Love the my Pocket DS, I've only had it few months.

Bought a cheap broken PS4, guy said he took it apart and it wouldn't turn on after he put it back together. I've got no experience with soldering, but it kinda looks like someone tried to solder the port on and did it poorly. What do you guys think? Also, the PS4 turns on but won't make a beeping sound, and it doesn't show any image, with the console's light being white.

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all having a great Thursday night. I just made some upgrades and wanted to know what others thought of my setup. I don’t really have anyone that I know that would be able to share ideas like this with so I thought it would be neat if others showed their bench as well.

Hi, i got the IR Pro SC few days ago and noticed that the REX C-100 controller has a bit of delay, around 2 seconds before it reacts to a change in temperature. The PC410 is instant in comparison. I'm not sure if this is normal or because of some PID settings. Can anyone confirm? I already tried different TC.

Hello everyone.
Can anyone help me figure out this smd, if it’s a fuse, and what size it could be. Similar smd components that look similar are size 63. This PS2 is an scph-75001.
It looks like it may have a 60 at the bottom and something 9 on top.
Thanks for any help anyone can give. I’ve only worked on like 2 ps2’s before, including this one.

I recently got back into gaming on my ps3 and got into an inescapable error code 8002f1f9 pointing to wifi and bluetooth connectivity, which I've experienced in the past. Without having to make this an offline console I'm wanting to repair.

The voltage deregulator seems like a simple fix, but I can't seem to find much information on anyone repairing the wifi/bt module. Does anyone have guidance or links or hardware information for this step in the repair process? I can't seem to find much available information online without consuming a scrap for part board.

Ps3 model info: cech-2501a

Hi little "hole" on the capacitor in photo. Console is a steamdeck like one. Console is working good tbh. Could not find which trace does it connects to. Tested with multimeter

- on the left side pin i have 2/2.85 v

- on the two right sided pins i have 3.8 to 5 v

Which similar component should i look for? Could not read number since it's burned a bit.

I am really confused about why a ps5 would do this and I would like to fix it so any tips?

Acquired a PS4 pro which didn't read disks. Did some research (obviously not enough) switched the laser deck and managed to blow the two fuses F6201 F6202 and burn out a cap. Replaced the fuses and the cap with donors got the drive up and running, takes a disk and spins up okay but it still wont read a disk. I have tried both blu ray and regular dvd, just wondering if anyone can give me some pointers on what to look at/for next. Tia
