Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.
If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.
If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.
If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

That reminds me, I have one of those hanging on a peg over my desk still that needs a battery replacement. One of these days I'll get around to it. These days aside from the novelty factor it's so much easier to just throw a pair of AA's into one of the Batarang OG GBA's or bung a game into the Gameboy Player.
Don't get me started on the damn shoulder buttons. The DS Lites were also notorious for breaking those via cracking the switches clean off the board just with normal use. I forget how many of those I had to painstakingly resolder. Which, in retrospect, I did with sub-optimal tools back when I was broke.
