Retro Gamer, Collector, Repair, Restore & Mod old consoles,8-bit GooRoo. I've built and repaired PCs for 30+ years also have Soldering & Board lev repair skills
Part finally arrived from china. They stated new from AliExpress but it was used. Anyway on with the repair. First I need to prep the area to be soldered.
Soldered replacement card reader. Major job this really requires advanced soldering skills. I triple checked for bridging of pins and preformed the rake test. All good!
Also fixed a co-worker’s ps5. Complete tear down just to replace the power supply. Why would SONY build a console around the power supply? And over 100 screws all the way around the motherboard?
