Have you ever worked on a 3080 with possible HDMI/Display port issues, would you like to?

- lets repair things
I happen to have an overclockers one here with similar symptoms- it's been kicking my arse.
I still regret letting my red one go dirt cheap, back in the day. That one looks pristine.

If it isn't peak aesthetics it's about as close as you can get.Blue n64?

If you ever crack it please let me know.
Should be its a reshell
- The donor console had suffered some damage so I thought id stick it in a bitfinix shell

Agree - A proper sorted n64 is a thing of beauty!
Awesome looking at your work again Vince. Very professional indeed!
Any tips on how to work out what points to jumper to/from when a solder pad is damaged? I’m never sure how to trace them, and have a few items that I damaged the pads on when learning how to solder that I wouldn’t mind revisiting and trying to repair.

Its all about just getting it under the scope with some fine tips on your meter and beeping it out... if its not obvious then grab the meter and test from the break back in continuity mode to work out where it goes.
Thanks Vince…sounds like I need to get myself a scope. Don’t have anything other than one of those cheap and fairly nasty USB things that sits about 2” above whatever you work on…largely useless for solder work!

Don’t suppose anyone can advise, I recently replaced a right analogue stick on a Xbox one series controller that had stick drift. The new one appears stuck directionally top left somewhat and freaks the Xbox out completely when turning on. Is this a sign of a dodgy replacement stick, as my soldering looks ok from what I can tell. Is there a way I can test the pins easily to see if one is simply soldered poorly?
Could be a bad stick, could also be a damaged line from the pot... you can measure the pots to see what the resistance is they are sending to the board to determine if its board or pot at fault.

Congrats. Getting an ssd alive again is fortunate. Are you ble to clone it to a fresh drive?
Yes indeed it's now on a fresh physon drive I pulled from a series X that wasn't fixable. I managed to clone off around 30gb at the beginning of the drive doing a sector clone and then wrote that to the new drive, after that I rebuilt the system using osu1. Now its all updated new paste etc and tested playing some gears 5... it's a happy xbox now.
