TL;DR is freezing down to temps 65 degrees or using a 22k resistor instead of a 10k. Repaste heatskinks or change resistor???


After some issues I manged to rgh3 my flacon with a picoflasher and 22k resistor and the 27mhz setting.

At first it would just flash green, changed SMC_PLL to top of board instead of the alternative on the bottom, managed to open xell get key and flash, booted fine to new dashboard instantly a few times, put it all back together and back to flashing green

After opening up again and getting green flashes, and instant shutdowns I tracked issue to a dodgy PLL point. After touching up the solder points

Now it boots fine without any delay.

However I have random freezes even though I set temp threshold to 60 and then 55.

I did a fan override to 90% and temps stayed around 55 and was OK even for hours on end. Changed fan to 85% temps crept up to around just over 60 (especially on ram) and started freezing again. Put it back to 90% and issues resolved.

Surely 65 is within heat tolerance?? I have an xclamp tool and mx-4 on the way to see if that makes a difference. Fan and heatskink fins are clean

I read this online.....

22k is going to put the voltage below the threshold, try the 27mhz ECC patches and see if that helps.

I already set the 27mhz setting when flashing so could the issue be the 22k resistor and would a 10k fix it, every guide i have seen says it should be a 22k not a 10k?

Or is it simply a temp issue, that a repaste should fix, or does it try to draw more power when say the memory gets hotter and work harder and causes a voltage drop and freezes.

I don't want to change the resistor only as last resort, as I'm getting good reliable boot ups and boot times with the 22k, and don't want to mess about with my points too much after all the hassle I had!!

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
