Handheld Game Console: Trimui Smart Pro with broken R1/R2 switch

Mon, 11 May 2026 19:58:33 -0700

I bought a used Trimui Smart Pro that had some physical mods on it (a fan and heat sink), but the owner failed to mention the R2 button was totally broken.

I opened it to take a look if I was able to fix it, and I accidentally bridged the button with the R1 while trying to install another button (which also failed because it was too big).

Which button switch can I use for this? Is this salvageable at all? The device turns on and plays as normal, but the lack of this button bothers me so much.

Retro Game Console: Help identifying the components for fixing a (BR) Magnavox Odyssey 2

Mon, 11 May 2026 19:51:56 -0700

Hello!

My partner found a Philips Odyssey (the brazilian version of the Magnavox Odyssey 2) in a pawn store. We got it, thinking even if it was dead it would be an awesome decoration/historic piece. I want to fix it, but most caps, resistors and inductors are completely blown.

I'm mostly a beginner on soldering / electronics, but I can do some basic stuff (like soldering / desoldering big components without destroying them, using a multimeter) and I think I'd be able to change all the components as they are fairly large.

I have a board number: MAIN BD 703965-5 and these pictures (sorry, most pictures were taken before the console was cleaned/dusted off). I can take more if need be. I know there are a couple of revisions of these consoles, at least in Brazil.

I used AI to identify most stuff but I don't trust it and I was hoping to get someone's opinion.

What AI got me is below - I was able to source all of them locally besides the 12 µH inductor and 33 Ohms resistor

Caps:

# 1x 4700µF 25V (C12 - Main Input Filter)

‌ 1x 680µF 25V (C2207)
‌ 1x 47µF 25V (C871 or C2208)
‌ 3x 10µF 50V (C782, C850, C853)
‌ 3x 1µF 63V (C779, C783, C812)
1. Semiconductors:
7x Signal Diodes 1N4148 (D701 a D704 e D685 a D687)
‌1x Transistor NPN BC547 (Q684)
‌1x Voltage Regulator 7805
1. Critical components:
1x Resistor R7 (Verify colors on board for the values)
‌1x Inductor L3 Indutor (Bobina RF Choke) 12 µH (oxidated)
‌1x Resistor 33 Ohms 9W (R50 - If the console turns on but there's no image on RF).

Steam Deck OLED: Works plugged, but turns off the instant unplgged

Mon, 11 May 2026 09:29:39 -0700

Hello!

My Steam Deck was submerged in water... I left it alone for 8 months assuming it was completely dead and one day decided to try and boot it up. To my surprise it worked!

Everything works great except it needs to stay plugged in. The second I unplug it the screen goes blank.

I've spoke with steam support whom has asked me to key some information into a cmd prompt in the desktop mode and it shows the battery health is 98% and it is discharging... It also shows the battery as "charging" in the game mode but obviously the battery does not charge.

Just wondering if I am wasting money with a battery replacement or if there would be another issue...

Thanks!

8BitDo Pro 2 Wired: Shoulder button membrane switch won't stay together

Sun, 10 May 2026 04:06:59 -0700

Hi guys. First time posting so sorry if I'm stupid and didn't attatch the image properly.

I took apart my controller cause r1 wouldn't spring back and discovered the pad fell through the slot of the membrane. (right one in the image, left is intact) I tried putting it back up but it just falls through again when pressed. I've never dealt with membrane switches before so please tell me if i'm missing somthing.

I found a post here on the forum where someone else had the same sholder button problem and a recommendation given was to order new membrane and replace it. But op hadn't opened it yet and didn't return with updates so i thought i should ask if i can fix it on the spot first before ordering, just to save myself the shipping time.

Thanks in advace

Logitech RS50 Base: Where I can buy the plastic guides that secure the base to a rig

Sun, 10 May 2026 02:24:44 -0700

The plastic guides that go between the metal plate that holds the steering wheel base. To mount the base to the rigs bucket style seat broke, because my metal plate didn’t had all the 4 holes lining up with the metal plate. The pattern is different and I only could put two screws instead of 4 so the wheel got lose and broke the plastic guides.I decided to use the clamp but I want to replace the guides and don’t want to use the warranty just for that. Do you guys know were I can find them even aftermarket maybe could do. If there is no og parts yet. Thanks in advance

Steam Controller (2nd Generation): Is there a way to calibrate triggers to finetune their deadzones?

There doesn't seem to be a way to calibrate triggers in Steam Input settings and some users reported triggers deadzones being too big/long.

Nintendo 3DS: One of the screws is stripped

One of the screws on the bottom cover of my old 3DS XL is stripped and won’t turn. I’ve tried applying a small amount of superglue to a very thin flathead screwdriver, but nothing seems to work. I need to fix it so I can open the system properly and easily remove and insert my SD card.

Scuf Instinct Pro: Wireless connection issue - no longer syncing

Mon, 04 May 2026 08:09:40 -0700

So I had a person attempt to repair the stick drift issue it was having. On return, the repair person said that the wireless wouldnt work for them with their xbox ( this was working before I gave it to them) and they said it was never set up for xbox...
Im looking at the instinct and the ps version and I think they went through and did the repairs of the ps5 on the instinct... but I am unsure about its wireless sensors. the button does engage and light up, but no devices, windows, ps, or xbox can see it anymore.

Any suggestions on what I should focus on? or what to check to see might need to be replaced?

Xbox Series X: On/Off Beep. Shorts around APU test points

Sat, 02 May 2026 15:58:04 -0700

I have an xbox series x that does not power on. It started as an HDMI repair with ripped traces and snowballed into something worse. I cannot get it to come on. I ordered a raspberrypi pico to flash this firmware (https://github.com/xboxoneresearch/PicoD...) and get the whatever POST code it was throwing.

The result was SMC (1): E006 [SMC_FATAL_CPUGFX] Low priority: VREG_PWRGPAB_CPUGFX_PWRGD missing/timout: Check shorts on V_DRAM1P8, V_SOC1P8, V_SOCPHY. U681, U7, U129, U57 and U480 drive this signal low when a fault is detected.

I checked those test points and got no shorts. I did get shorts on the V_GFXCORE, V_CPUCORE, V_MEMPHY, V_SOC test points though.

I am at a loss as to what could be the issue here. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

DualShock 4: Stick drift and trigger issue

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 04:47:20 -0700

help my joystick aint stick drifting its more like Tokyo drifting, I have attached media of one.

my main controller had trigger issues which was giving a response when I wasn't even using the triggers so I used the same conductive film but switched the hardware of my other controller's pcb board which wasnt turning on and then the trigger issue was resolved but the that Tokyo drift issue came up so I guess the board is the issue but I'm not sure

Logitech G Cloud: STEAM link Constantly Disconnecting from PC

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:59:20 -0700

When I first open the Steam Link app, it tells me my connection is super fast for streaming, but once I open a game, it gives me that red icon in the bottom right corner or will take me back to the Steam Link start up menu. I am constantly disconnected. I've checked that allllll the things are up to date I've hard reset the wifi router, PC and Logitech handheld, and I still disconnect constantly. I'm literally one floor up from my PC and this hasn't been an issue before (I've played this way for years). I'm so frustrated! Please help!

Steam App pushed an update that fixed it. No longer an issue. Thank you!

Steam Deck: Metal Heat Shield Replacement (I believe part # F7A)

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 21:41:57 -0700

I rescued a first gen Steam Deck from my nephew today. He thought he corrupted the the m.2 when he attempted to install Windows on the thing. In his frustration, he just threw everything away; screws, nvme, and the heatshield. You know, like a moron.

I found the m.2 easily of course, and shield part I need on eBay. Naturally it's out of stock. I then found it on a very sketchy looking website (egamephone) .

Does anyone have a trustworthy line on this part?

Sony Playstation 2 SCPH-79002: Ps2 no video, and power issues

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 17:03:19 -0700

It's not displaying video. At the yellow point, a resistor has fallen out, and at the red point, there's a very similar resistor that shows continuity. I tried to repair it myself; the console powers on but there's no video output. If I leave the PS2 to HDMI adapter connected, for some reason the console's light stays on even without the power cable.
