    A third price increace has hit the playstation 5

    Glad I got a PS5 Disc edition when I did. $250 on Ebay for a broken HDMI port. Did the port replacement, cleaned it out and added fresh liquid metal. Works fine. The PS5 has now exceeded the MSRP for a PS3 brand new at launch and the 3DO. Hell, might as well throw the Neo Geo in the loop as well.

    Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

    I did just that for the PS3 and ended up selling the one that was boxed because the one I used sat around long enough to get exploitable.

    The song "Amazing" by Aerosmith comes to mind.

    Hardware Wii Turns On But No Video Signal -- Not Even A Black Screen

    Small update on my situation. I believe I have found the source of my video issue. A broken mini-hdmi port. Looking under my microscope I was able to see several pins not connected.

    Hardware Wii Turns On But No Video Signal -- Not Even A Black Screen

    I have this going on with my Wii that just "suddenly" decided to stop displaying video. I went to hook it up this past weekend and got no video. Worse part is I have a Wii HDMI mod installed. I am about to try the Wi-Fi Card as the culprit to this problem. I can turn the Wii on and get a green...

    How old is the oldest storage media you still use?

    Does recordable media count? I have two spindles of CD-R's that I burned in the mid 90's All the discs are readable and can be accessed without issues.

    Hardware GBA not turning on after IPS mod

    Curious on what color is your power led light on your GBA when it is turned on..? I know it's for a quick second but does it show a color..? I had similar issues with mine and I had to replace the caps in order to have it function again. I got on Console 5 and ordered a cap kit. Some symptoms...

    Current view on changing the thermal paste in PS3

    I just did this to mine as a weekend project. I still need to replace the Pram Battery as now every time I turn on the PS3 my clock is not set. So a little history, My PS3 is a "Launch" unit, has the four USB ports and card readers. I've never touched the paste until this past weekend. When I...

    OG Xbox - What can be done if the DVD drive & HDD are broken?

    Since you have a Xbox with no DVD Drive & No Hard Drive your options are limited without buying additional stuff to get the console back up and running. A Modchip would work, I've also used a Raspberry PI3 to extract the EEProm information off of a Xbox motherboard so I can use a HDD on that...

    Last Seen Movie

    Being a fan of James Bond I am curious what you thought of the movie? It's technically not part of the James Bond Movie set and is a "remake" of Thunderball. I always enjoyed the original Thunderball verses Never Say Never Again. The director of this movie is the director of my favorite Star...

    Last Seen Movie

    Last movie I saw in the theater (remember those) was Avatar Way of the Water. It was "okay" but the first one still knocks it out of the park. Last movie I watched at home was the remastered version of John Carpenter's Starman. A classic "sci-fi" movie.

    Current view on changing the thermal paste in PS3

    You knew what I meant to say but we must keep the "terms" correct for copyright purposes. :) I personally don't mind doing the job myself rather than "pay" someone to do it for me. I will research this a tad more before I dive in.

    Current view on changing the thermal paste in PS3

    Seeing and reading this thread, I have not done this yet. I own a "Original 40GB Fat PS3" the one with all the memory card readers. I've never replaced the paste but reading these comments is changing my mind. I did swap out the power supply for a more "energy efficient" model. The one with the...
