Answer to "Right analog stick randomly not going up or down" September 15
Hi Eric, Affraid you need to replace that analog stick. To get it working as it was before, you should replace it.. PS Vita Slim Joystick Replacement Many parts are modular, so that’s a win.
Answer to "Why do my games lag up 30 min in and freeze my entire console?" September 15
Hi Michael, Looks like the harddrive went bad! I would replace the harddrive with a known working one OR replace it for an SSD. This will most likely resolve the issue and get you back to gaming.
Answer to "Suddenly turn off (one click sound)" September 15
Hi! Yeah, I think the PSU needs to be replaced. You already replaced the thermal paste and removed dust etc, right? I would try to replace the PSU and see what happens.
Answer to "How do you transfer the mute switch on an iPhone X?" September 9
Hi! Check this Teardown: iPhone X Teardown And go to Step 21. You can see the part assembly there. Finding a guide regarding this, is not that easy I’m affraid.
Answer to "No backlit keyboard, even when notification says it should be on" September 9
Hi! Did it worked before? Check the BIOS, sometimes it’s turned off in there. If you did all the things, including installing the newest drivers from ASUS, you should check if the cables are connected properly. Otherwise a keyboard replacement is required (as it’s inside the keyboard).
Answer to "GC turns on, fan running, but no picture, no drive activity" September 8
Hi! It’s difficult to say what it is, but it could also be the power supply board. Step 11: Nintendo GameCube Teardown Did you tried to swap that out too? I would try that first. Side Note: Could you also post some pictures? Thanks!
Answer to "Any idea if I can get a replacement slot dust cover?" September 8
Hi Nethaniel, It’s inside the faceplate. You could transfer your old one to the new faceplate. To be honest, I never saw the dust cover for sale as excluded part. Most of the time they sell the faceplate including the dust cover.
Answer to "Why does my Game Boy Advance Sp have a difficult time reading games?" September 2
Hi! I advise to open up the console and clean it from the inside too. Check if the pins are damaged and if they are clean (without the back cover on). I think the reader is done for and needs to be replaced (as it’s making half contact). But could be that something is blocking (dirt).
Answer to "What happens if you dont plug in the touchscreen ribbon cable? (NDS)" September 2
Hi Raphael, No, not necessary. But make sure you connect the screens and WiFi chip. Without the WiFi chip, the DS lite will boot, but show a black screen. Without the touchscreen connected, it still boots and show something on the screen. So yeah, it will work without the touch screen.
Answer to "Wii making loud grinding sound and ejects disc" September 2
Hi Caroline, Did many Wii’s and still repairing it. This sounds like a bad Inject/Eject motor and it is replaceable. I’ll make a guide if I get another Wii which is having this kind of issue. Part (and guide): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ioVJ3XJ... You need to desolder/solder 2 cables. Replacing the whole drive, will fix the issue! But is more expensive to do so. I always refurbish the drives and put it back together. Side note: Check the condition of the gears and the rubber too.

Difference between fake and original August 25

Hi Shawn,

Thanks! Good to hear that I was able to help you :)!

Yeah, looks like it’s not genuine at all! Unfortunately it’s hard to see if it’s genuine (outer shell).. Glad that you found out that the one from the seller is not genuine.

Hi Jason,

If all the parts are legit, It’s most certainly a genuine controller! But yes, it’s possible that it’s imported from another country. Which is also possible (but not very likely) that the shell isn’t genuine but all the parts are, this also explains why it feels slightly diferent. All the controllers I had are printed in English. I think your good to go. Perhaps the shell was damaged so they transfered all the parts to another shell.

Hi John,

Yes this is different for some models :).
Difference between fake and original July 22

Hi Jimmy! Glad that I could help :)!

There are a lot of different fakes at the market! Please look out for them. When you open up the controller, the battery tells most of the times the truth. Is it genuine or not? If you want to be 100% sure to get a real one, buy (new) from Gamestop, Target, best buy or Wallmart (just named some examples, there are more shops which sells genuine controllers). You can’t be 100% sure if you buy it at Ebay or Amazon (examples).
Difference between fake and original July 13

Depends on the model! It could be that it’s connected at the other side. And otherwise you need to post pictures as I can determine if it’s real or not.
Difference between fake and original July 12

When you opened it up and the battery is as the original and the USB/LED board looks like the original one (with text in gold instead of white), you’re good to go. Those are genuine parts.

Noted. Thanks for your comment!
Difference between fake and original June 28

Hi!

When it’s charging the lightbar should blink orange all the time long. When it’s not blinking orange it’s not charging or done charging. Are you still able to turn the controller on? Anyway, you should have warranty on it, so you could return it. Looks like the battery is bad.
Game Boy Advance IPS Blacklight mod June 18

Hi! I prefer the IPS. This because it’s easier to fit (in a pre-cut case) and your batteries will last longer. You can also increase and decrease the brightness of the backlight.
