Vince's Repair Thread - (Console Repairs & Mods)

What got you into doing this in the first place? I can’t fathom how you can figure out specifically what is broken on the PCBs

Its very much trial and error but eventually you see things you havent seen before and it doesnt take an age to find them its weird but honestly it just sort of happens. Also you learn how to use a multimeter and oscilloscope and yea they are super handy. Somebody is sending me a Jaguar to look at!!! been a while since Ive seen a Jaguar in the wild!

Not specifically an oled but I have done many lite screens over the years and the oled replacement isnt any different from just installing a normal panel in them. It's not a crazy difficult job.

Ah okay. Was just curious because I heard someone on YouTube mention it and I think it would be quite a nice little package!
 
Gonna be a huge few weeks ive got an absolute mass of machines coming in! some key details... 20 or so switches including a couple of oleds, 2x ps5's, series X. ps4's, xbox one systems, gamecubes, snes, ps2's, 4x 3ds... the list goes on and on and on and is a fairly significant investment (couple of k all in). Looking at around 60 or so systems over the next week and a half :cry:

Keeping up can be a bit of a mission I wont lie. If I could have a couple more hands we would be golden. admittedly my new electric screwdrivers have made things a lot quicker. Cant believe I struggled along doing everything manual for so long. Edit: Havent even posted all my new tools! schoolboy error, I started getting some pains a few weeks back after the 5th or 6th xbox of the day so I bought all new electric tools! Ill post some pics.

Love seeing how this has taken off! Could I also grab the URL :)

Also - have you modded a phat PS2 with an HDMI before? Looking at the electronanalog mod as I'm not after a perfect picture. Just wondering if you had any past experience.

Done a few but only on slims, I stopped taking fats unless they were special editions simply because they seem to be less desirable.
