I swap the P13USB with a new one, but the same result. Nothing on the TV, only the green light on the Dock is on.

yeah, I had the same issues at the beginning. make sure that you're really using a bigger noozle than the one for the phones or the M92T36 ic on the NS so that you can apply the heat on a wider area. I do it always like this:

1. Apply some flux
2. Heat up the CPU/APU with about 400° until the solder gets soft (this usually takes 3-4min and I need this temperature with my hot air station since I haven't got a board to preheat the NS mainboard)
3. Use this tool (https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32846496929.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.55134c4d8lUEDD) or anything similar to lift the CPU GENTLY from the board

but be very carefull when you lift the CPU so that you don't damage any pads on the mainboard or on the CPU. afterwards I do a reballing with the stencil and then you can easily put it back on the mainboard. So far I wasn't able to do a reflow since the factory solder needs really high temperatures to get soft and therefore I do a reballing always. maybe @FXDX has a better idea? ;-)

@Crossfader did you try my suggestion from 06.06.20?
Hi and sorry for the delay.

I check and re-solder the caps and the P13USB again, but short is still there.
Charging works only in one direction.
I found out that the ESD Protektion 7C is blown, i replace it with a new one.
I check the 2 ESD chips with my Multimeter in Diode Mode and become strange values ( See Attachment )

Thx for your detailed reply, I ordered the stencil, but under current situation, who knows how long it will take.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    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.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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 :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    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.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    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 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
