New Nintendo 2DS XL: Where is the backlight controller/chip on the New 2DS XL (JAP model)

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:33:35 -0700

I've tried 3 different screens on this New 2DS XL I have here, and all 3 even the known working one(s) don't work on it, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the backlight that isn't responding.

I can't find anything online about the backlight controller/chip, so I figured I'd ask here and on Reddit.

Anyone know or can help?

Nintendo Switch 2: Right side joycon port no longer detecting joycons.

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:30:43 -0700

I did a shell swap on my switch 2. It wasn’t difficult and I didn’t poke around more than taking the back plate off and replacing it with the new one. After powering my switch 2 back on, the right joycon port on the console itself doesn’t register either joycon. The left side works completely normally with both joycons. I purchased and replaced the right side connector following the guide on this website. Still no dice. I’ve cleaned the ports on both the joycon and the console. I’ve done everything including a factory wipe of the console to rule out any software issues. I cannot figure out what is causing this.

Epson Printer: Epson Expression Home XP-5200 - Error 100016

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 05:47:41 -0700

Hello, I just bought an Epson Expression Home XP-5200 from a seller on eBay, and it arrived with the mentioned fault. I notified the seller, and they refunded me and told me to keep the printer.

I have now looked up this error and found many fixes.

Here is what I have tried so far.

1) Removed power cable while printer on, waited 60 sec, held power button for 30 secs, plugged power cable back in

Outcome: Ran printer, same issue.

2) Removed the side cover, unplugged the two ribbon cables nas the reseated the, the smaller one with the blue tab facing down, and the larger one with the blue tab facing up.

Outcome: Ran printer, same issue

3) Removed the scanner completely, opened the scanner and checked all cables. Moved the carriage over to the middle, gave everything a clean, and put it all back together.

Outcome: Ran printer; scanner carriage moved to the start position, then the error code appeared again.

Now, one of the suggested fixes for these issues is a firmware update; however, the error screen will not let me do anything. I can't reset the printer, which was another suggestion. I have no ink in the printer, which was another suggestion for the error code, but I still have no way to bypass the error screen.

So, please, if anyone knows how or if I can bypass the error screen, I may be able to reset the printer. Or is this just a brick destined for land fill (recycle)

Lenovo IdeaPad 330: Laptop breaking in the union between screen and keyboard.

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 03:54:33 -0700

I have had my laptop for 6 years and very recently it started breaking in the union (hinge?) between the screen and the keyboard. If I try to open or close the laptop it forces the plastic in the union and lifts the bottom corners of the screen cover. Tiny pieces of plastic, which I think are the multiple joints that go inside the union, have broken and fallen out, so it looks like the screen is only supported by the two bigger joints at the edges. The laptop works perfectly outside of this, and if I don't move the screen it doesn't feel like it's being forced. Is this something worth repairing?
