    3DS XL no power on (2012 model)

    Yes, that and the part where I write about hooking up another cell. 3DS battery only have 3 terminals, positive, negative and termistor.. so I guess the system cannot determine if its legit or not, on laptop you got more pins for that to make the battery circuit board communicate with laptop...

    3DS XL no power on (2012 model)

    Yeah connecting both at same time doesn't sound as a good idea! Thank you, your test will help! I already looked for schematics but found nothing. Found a lot of chip and board info only for New3DS. I was trying the pmic route because I've read sometimes it can be the culprit, and it kinda...

    Hi, as I wrote, I already tested it with a battery and even with a bench power supply.

    3DS XL no power on (2012 model)

    Hi guys, I have this junky 3DS XL 2012 model, I guess it suffered water damage (or coffee spill who knows). Battery was puffed up and I've found a brown rusty trail around battery like it leaked something. The unit has been previously opened because of shoulder button cables ripped, I don't know...

    GCN Toasted GameCube AV Out

    Yeah, beside that poor capacitor all traces seem to be good. I checked continuity between parts and is ok. I see no video signal out of the videoencoder.. I checked directly on its pins to avoid eventual other componente/traces problems even if they seems to be good. Thats why I thought that...

    GCN Toasted GameCube AV Out

    Hi, here it is a pic of the board I took the other day as soon as I took the cube apart. The capacitor blew up is C130, the AV Encoder Chip is the big one (RS5C583, this is the PAL version, I know there is another code for the NTSC version)

    GCN Toasted GameCube AV Out

    Hi guys, some days ago I took apart my 2nd Gamecube which kinda died some yrs ago so I wanted to try to resurrect it just for fun. The Gamecube itself seems to work, lights, fan spinning, disc spinning, sound working and by the sound.. I can say it reads game, and the game works too, reacts to...

    GCN GC/Xeno/SD2SP2 & Swiss stopped booting

    You did good pointing it out, I solder a lot for my hobbies but also often for my job so I got what you were talking about at first read, but maybe someone with the same problem but not so much solderings skills read this topic and I think finding precise directions on how to do it would be more...

    GCN GC/Xeno/SD2SP2 & Swiss stopped booting

    Nice to know! I had similar kind of problem once and a bit of wiggle fixed it.. if tinning can help making it more firm.. I'll surely do too!

    Hardware GBA Volume Potentiometer weird behaviour

    Hi, thank you for your useful answer!!! Unfortunately the OEM one was in really bad shape so I had not the possibility to check it properly. Btw, after reading your answer I had a look with my multimeter at one of the replacement pots I have as spares: looking at the pot from the wheel to the...
