    PS4 controller not turning on after system is turned off or enters rest mode

    Hello everyone, Starting today, my PS4 controller has been behaving very oddly and I'm not 100% sure why. I think it could be related to the PMIC possibly failing, but I wanted to check first just in case it's something else. What happened is that my PS4 controller would no longer turn on...

    PSP Go Memory Stick Not Detected

    I thought that could be the case too, but I was thinking that wasn't very likely. I don't know if M2 cards were faked a lot, plus even if it was fake, I don't think the seller knew it was a fake. He was very responsive to my messages and welcomed a return. If it is a fake though, the guy I'm...

    PSP Go Memory Stick Not Detected

    The price was $50 and it was used. I actually might keep it because I happen to know someone who has a friend that is extremely well versed in memory sticks and might be able to fix it. Apparently outside of Sony, he is the leading expert in memory sticks.

    PSP Go Memory Stick Not Detected

    I got an adapter for my computer and the M2 just doesn't show up at all. My pro duo does, but not the M2, so I'm thinking something is really wrong.

    PSP Go Memory Stick Not Detected

    Unfortunately I don’t have an adapter. Right now I’m in the process of returning the memory stick, but the seller has been super cool and will check it himself, however I do have some time before I need to return it. I saw some adapters on Amazon, but does anyone have any suggestions on an...

    PSP Go Memory Stick Not Detected

    Mine looks almost exactly like that, save for some of the numbers being different. I’ve come to the conclusion that something is wrong with the memory stick itself.

    PSP Go Memory Stick Not Detected

    Hello everyone, Apologies if this has already been addressed in a previous post, but I couldn't find any relevant information through Google searches. I recently acquired a 16 gb memory stick micro for my PSP Go, but for some reason, the stick isn't being detected by the PSP. The orange light...

    Wii U Stuck on Logo

    Meant to make this post earlier, but I kept forgetting to. I ended up moving the pico to another location because once I tightened all the screws for the metal plate, it wasn't working again. I assume there was pressure being put on the corner of the pico which probably isn't good. After moving...

    Wii U Stuck on Logo

    That’s what I thought, and I even checked it with my multimeter to confirm it. Other than that though, I’m not sure that the issue could be. Is there any chance the test pads could be touching that plate? I’m not sure how close that plate actually gets to the board. 1729982944 I’m looking at it...

    Wii U Stuck on Logo

    It’s all good. I’ve mounted and wired up the pico. Actually had to did it twice since it was hitting one of those raised areas on the metal plate, but now it works. Only issue though is once I secure the plate on, the Wii U won’t turn on. It just stays on a solid red light. I believe that’s...

    Wii U Stuck on Logo

    I’m looking at the picture again, and I just wanted to ask if that was a small length of wire running across the pads on the pico for TP48 and 176 (the ones that need to be bridged). I just have a big solder blob between them, but it looks like I might have to change that since it might prevent...

    Wii U Stuck on Logo

    I have double sided tape that should hold for a long time. I can't say with 100% certainty that it'll never fail, but I have a sign hanging off a door using the stuff and it's held for years just fine. As long as it makes good contact, it should hold up, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd...

    Wii U Stuck on Logo

    Thank you for the pictures. That actually helps a lot and it's nice to know a top mount if possible. Is there solder mask on those vias? Based on that first picture, it looks like that area should work. Just curious though, it looks like there isn't a wire soldered to the pad for power. How is...

    So that was your picture? Interesting. So is it possible to mount the pico somewhere underneath and still be able to secure the bottom shield? I'll obviously test spots before cleaning up the wires and mounting the pico, but should that general area work?

    Wii U Stuck on Logo

    Based on the wiki, it looks like my magnet wire should work for voltage and GND (here is the link to the wiki so we're all on the same page). I'm also looking at where it's mounted and it seems really close to a screw hole so I don't know if that'll be an issue or not.

    I think I’ll try to keep de_Fuse then. I saw a picture on a wiki page that showed the pico secured on the motherboard. I’ll do a test fit to see if I’ll be able to close it. I’ll shorten the wires too. As for the voltage and ground wires, I’m guessing I can just use the appropriate test pads...

    Alright two months later and I finally was able to sit down with my brother and figure out his account information. He's not very good keeping track of passwords and such, so I had to work with him to get everything straightened out. Anyways, I was able to sign in to his account and redownload...

    Wii U Stuck on Logo

    That was my plan, but I bought the bundle where you got it for both the 3DS and Wii U, and I can't remember if it was tied to one account or if was done through codes. The interesting thing is that my brother's account is on the Wii U (not signed in to Nintendo), but I have no account on there...

    Wii U Stuck on Logo

    Alright so yesterday I transferred over the common folder. Had a little issue where for some reason, overwriting the folder kept failing so I had to delete it first, but once I did transfer it over, it looks like everything is there (trophies, unlocked characters, and Mii fighters). So other...

    I saw that folder and I thought I transferred it over, but I may be mistaken. I’ll try clearing the user folder on the system and bringing both over. 1723065384 Also, just out of curiosity, but how would I open the texture files (.tex) in the save folder? I'm curious if they're related to the...
