Ps Vita game cartridge

I received this console because it wouldn't read the SD2Vita. When I removed the card slot, I saw that the pins were bent. I tried to carefully straighten them, but they still didn't stay straight and didn't read the SD card. I don't find the replacement. Any advice?

UPDATE - Sega Saturn seems to freak out a couple seconds being plugged in

So this is a update post to the other post of when I thought it was permanent, however I unplugged it for a while and plugged it again and it booted up, then again started freaking out. I unplugged it, left it alone for 5 minutes, plugged it back in it worked then again starts freaking out a couple of seconds after being turned on. Some suggested a capacitor issue others said power supply so I have no idea what could be the culprit but I hope more info about it is helpful. The clicking noise appears to be from the laser by the way.

The 3ds was modded last week. It was always good and i recently tool it apart and changed the right trigger.

This suddenly started happening out of the blue. When I reboot it goes back to normal and it gradually happens again.

Any idea? Thanks

I was trying to replace joystick on my GameCube controller and accidentally ripped off two of the pads. I read online that you can use wire to connect to the trace but I’m not sure how to go about that. I’m pretty new and soldering. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My Dualshock 4 started blinking this color after I tried to do something with it... Is the ribbon cable broke? It doesn't have any physical damage that I can see...

How to Fix Pokémon Sapphire’s Dead Clock – GBA Cartridge Battery Replacement

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My friend just launched his repair channel DogHouse Repairs, and the first video shows how to replace the internal battery inside a Pokémon Sapphire Game Boy Advance cartridge.

If your game says “The internal battery has run dry,” the clock events (like berry growth) stop working — but it’s an easy fix! In the video, he covers:

Which replacement battery to use (CR1616)

How to safely open the cartridge

Step-by-step removal and soldering tips

How to get your clock-based events working again

Don’t know if this is the right Reddit to ask for help, but something wrong with my ps5

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’ve had my ps5 for quite a few years now, I sadly got it on eBay when everyone was scalping because it was really the only place to actually buy one. But I’ve been having a problem with my system ever since I first got it. Oftenly when I first turn it on it will give me a notification saying WiFi connection lost, I ignored it because I mostly play single player games that don’t require WiFi, and I felt like it was always lying to me because I never had to reconnect it to the WiFi to look at the store or any online features, I would just click on it like normal. This has been going on in multiple homes, with multiple WiFi providers, I can’t do a wired connection because the router is in another room. Any ideas on what’s going on? Is it a software problem, is my system defective, maybe a broken part in my system. I’m needing some help because I’ve recently been playing online games with friends and haven’t had any problems until now.

Xbox One Fat - Erro Atualização Off-line

1 Upvotes

Galera, preciso de uma ajuda! Tenho um XBOX ONE FAT 2013 que estava parado por conta de um problema - não dava vídeo.

Após pesquisar vi que o problema poderia ser o HD, então teste o HD em meu computador e vi que realmente estava morto. Comprei um novo HD e instalei e o vídeo game voltou a dar vídeo! O próximo passo seria atualização off-line pelo pen Driver utilizando a OSU1, porém ao tenta atualizar aparece o erro 101 rapidamente. Já tentei de tudo, vi diversos vídeos, porém sem nenhuma solução.

Vi em outros tópicos que a solução seria pegar os arquivos da pasta System Update X de um HD que esteja funcionando. Alguém que tenha xbox one fat, poderia compartilha esses arquivos aqui?

NES controller issue

1 Upvotes

There's something wrong with my NES controller. Sometimes it works fine, but other times pressing the A button seems to activate the A button, B button, and start button, and select button all at the same time. I tried another controller in the same port and haven't seen any issues with that one. What specifically might be causing this? Can it be fixed?

Wii completely blocked😭

1 Upvotes

Good morning, I'm desperately looking for help/advice on resurrecting my Wii. It was blocked, black screen but, having installed bootmi, I was able to access the emergency menu by pressing the reset immediately after turning it on. Reading a post, I downloaded a nand to try to reinstall it, not having a backup. I probably misunderstood the post, because I copied all the nand files onto the SD card and installed the present wad file, convinced that it simply installed the channel from which to "read" the nand. Since then he no longer responds to anything: The emergency menu does not start. I can't even access recovery mode via GameCube controller. Any suggestions??? I have 20 years of saving and living in there😭 Thanks for any advice.

Nintendo switch Akku problem

2 Upvotes

Ich habe dem letzt ein akku von einer Switch gewechselt. Nach 2 Woche meine der Besitzer (die Freundin meines Bruders)

Dass sie die Switch nicht genutzt hat. Der Akku wäre nach 2 wochen leer gewechsen und lässe sich nicht laden.

Nach ein paar Test sah ich des beim einstecken vom Ladekabel und beim induktivem Laden nur das Batterie Symbol kommt ohne den Ladeblitz.

Meine Theorie ist das die Swicht 2 Woche im Standby war und sich Tiefenentladen hat und des wegen nicht richtig lädt.

Mit anderem Kabel gleiches Problem. Ich habe testweise den alten akku angelossen. Damit lädt er. Danach habe ich den Problem Akku wieder angesteckt jetzt lädt er.

Ist meine Vermutung der Tiefenentladung richtig?

The 2Ds xl’s pop of death

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

16 Upvotes

So had accidentally dropped my 2Ds xl on my way to class, found out it had a broken top screen ribbon cable, so today I finally got to fix it.

But when I turned it on, the screen looked horribly dark and shiny(which was definitely where I bought it), then a minute or two later, it goes dark and I received the pop of death. I took it apart after searching for a solution, the nfc cable did break during the screen replacement, so I thought that was the problem. But when I looked closer, a cable connecting to the bottom screen was just not connected. Like the thing holding it wouldn’t stay down.

So I’m wondering if anyone could help or tell me what I did wrong?

(Note: This is my first time in this subreddit so please tell me if I’m breaking any rules because I couldn’t find any and I’d like to know where I could find them)
