Sorry not logged in in ages. Got an XBox off eBay and the DVD drive didn't work so left the seller neutral feedback as the rest worked. I bought all the bits from Ali Express but i'm honestly tempted just to move it on on Gumtree or something, can't really be bothered to open it up and try and fix it.
Yea it's not cheap that much I can see. Looks like they go for around £150 which is a lot for a stock GBC.
Been reading through this thread, I'm going to attempt to fix both my ps5 controllers which have drift and put new hall effect ones in. I've watched a few videos and it does look abit daunting. The way I am thinking about it is they are broken anyway so they can't get any worse.

It's here my man, still in its box as I've been very busy at work but I'd expect it to be on its way home late this week.
Amazed you got through so much.
I'm so slow though till learning! Just received a Forza Xbox one that looks like it's been delivered by Ace Ventura.
Also I forgot to say thanks, you have some advice a while ago on an elite series 2. It was the paddle boards. However after replacing those one still didn't work. It ended up with a new back shell!

Did have to buy a new car today as well... My run around Clio is due an MOT at the end of the month and honestly this year it's done, last year I snuck it through but this year it's gonna need serious money it's a 2011 car but it's rotten.
Instead of messing around fixing that I bought a little mini to run around town in. I can't remember where I put the log book and I need to get a plate off the car so that's been where time has been going today. Gonna pick up the mini Weds morning and hopefully I can get a new v5 and get the Clio scrapped before the end of the month.

Honestly mate there has been a bunch more since, loads of pads probably another 10 pads over last few days, I've also done some Wii u systems and other things but I just don't have the capacity to post everything.
Sweet, thank you mate. There's no rush.

Nah I'm getting my French car scrapped, or my neighbour said he would give me 100 for it but it's taxed and insured to the end of the month and I need to pull the plate off of it... Today I picked up this little mini...
2017 Cooper with just about all the toys, really it's wife's car but she had basically 0 say I just went and got her a new car as I use it all the time around town and honestly the Clio is so bad. But right now I do still have 4 cars so need to get that number down to make way for next years purchase I've been promising myself an Aston you see so next year I recon get rid of the TT and get an Aston.

I did also repair 2 decks today...
I should really make some sort of deck fixing guide... I've had so many broken decks in and as yet never managed to not fix one. 100% success over probably 30 machines speaks volumes to how well deck is built.
