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

Capacitor back on that PS5, but nothing. Not even picking it up on the TV at all now. Must have bridged something somewhere.

Square 1. Hello darkness my old friend... Walked away from it in the end. If there's anything watch repair has taught me, it's the skill of cooling off and patience. Lest you gorilla something.

This is the way did you do a quick probe on hdmi port in diode mode to just check everything looks right? On the back side there is a diode and some other bits if I'm not mistaken. Pics front and back of port.. come one man show us what we are working with here. :D have you also checked the filters etc?

Also just check you are getting the 5v pin 19!

I'll get some pics tonight, although I'm tempted to start again now I've found my decent solder paste and flux. The other stuff I was using wasn't the best.

@Vince, after doing such a great job on my gamecube. I have some more jobs for you. My PS3 has got the dreaded 3 beeps and flashing red button. I've done a re-paste which lasted about a month and now its back. I also have an original DS with a dodgey direction button. Its hit or miss going right. Let me know if its OK to send them to you. No rush. Thanks fella.

I want to say it was me but alas it wasn't!

My son has a v2 elite pad that's not working properly. From memory its the shoulder pads and maybe stick drift. Is this something you could look at?
