@emiliabrown5477 Amen!!!!!! It’s like winning the lottery!

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

@HelpAliExpress Its ok as long as it works! I'm ok with that. I'm guessing some parts are not made anymore. And it is working perfect.

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

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.

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Finally, assembled and tested. Works great. Fun project but definitely a tedious one as well.

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Started the reassembly process. No screws missing. My OCD! I just hate when I run out of screws. lol

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

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!

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

WTF?!? Right!

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Another project I forgot to post. GBA shell replacement, IPS Screen, speaker and amp upgrade, and battery kit

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

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?

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Next project…..my son damaged his 2ds card slot……not a fun tear down

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

@AxiomVerge The music, 8-bit retro vibe, metrovainvia style game… basically everything. Please make a prequel!!!!

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Ready to install

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Next NES upgrade…..

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Success!!!

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Testing before reassembly…..hold my beer again

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Found faulty PPU

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Troubleshooting 101…. only 3 original components.

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Uh Scheiße!!! as my German friends would say.
I get a grey screen but press start and the game launches......some pixelation and the colors are off.

[blkredz28 @blkredz28]

Someone hold my beer I’m about to power this thing up!!
