I had a solder splash on a place where it conects things that I dont know what they are. I didn't turn the console on with that splash fearing it will brick. I have some questions
1) Can someone tell me what are those things?
2) Can this be fixed? how to remove the solder?
3)Is it safe to turn it on like this?
4) Is it on a important part of the console?

It appears like two capacitors are connecting together. Best bet is to NOT turn the system on. It would be a guess that there on the same circuit line but wouldn't risk the short. Removing it would be a pain thats for sure. Don't have a schematic to truly say how much of an importance the area is.....

This type of repair really requires a steady hand, nice tweezers, a fine tip solder iron, very thin solder and a microscope and proper knowledge of surface mount soldering technique. Good luck.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yeah power supplies are filthy perverts
