I know right I felt like I was getting scammed so I took it home with me it looks like a ez fix for someone that has experience with this kind of things
Just get the connector yourself and a Solder iron, solder, and flux, I would practise soldering on some trash electronics or just soldering together wires to get the hang of using the solder iron, before doing it on the switch. Should be an easy fix though. You could maybe even ask around with some friends, family to see if anyone knows how to solder. Good luck.
Sure but 1st I would like to try and get it fix or find someone that could fix it for cheaper them 80$ lol
I'll go ahead and buy the connector and give it a fix do you know if Mobile Sentrix is safe to buy from? They have the peace I need for 1.30$

That connector part is so generic, don't think it matters where you get it. (and I dont know that site) That is awesome price though.I'll go ahead and buy the connector and give it a fix do you know if Mobile Sentrix is safe to buy from? They have the peace I need for 1.30$

Yep that's all you need to fix it!
Shows using an air gun also in this video, but you can easily install it with just the solder iron.

They are safe.
That way you mostly lead to another problem, max17050 blow off or the speaker jack melt. You dont really need hot air for this connector especially thermal mass around that edge is way less than anywhere.
Thx this well help a lot but I'm still kind of nervous tho never tried doing this kind of things before so can I really do it with out the air gun? Since technically there are 2 small pieces still on the pads that I need to take out
Yep, just use solder iron and heat up till "liquidy", then use some metal tweezers to put those pieces off.
Yeah that connector is very small, with a pencil solder you can get it done, do not over heat any solder point to avoid lift the tracks and you will be ok.
use lot of flux on the lateral supports to aid to melt the solder.
Also if you can first add leaded solder to that points so the melting point lower.
There is a lot of drama in my family so I don't think I could ask them for any favors lol

I Just ordered the Solder iron but it may take 1 or 2day or to get here I'll update you guys ones everything gets here and hopefully everything goes smoothly
Thx a lot for the help tbh I almost give up on trying to fix it and that would have been a big mistake lol

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
