Hello everyone.

Does anybody know the rail that the wifi takes and I can follow it? Everything appears fine but the wifi is not working.

I do see a little scuff in the silkscreen I marked in red. If those tore the trace is that the issue? I can't confirm because it goes under a chip but it doesn't look deep enough.

If you haven't fixed it yet, I can confirm that will kill wireless communication. I knocked those capacitors off when I did my first install. One microscope purchase later and I had them flowed back into place. Been working fine since. If I were you I'd jumper from the capacitors to the test pads up near the wireless chip.

Did the WiFi stop working at all? Or were there problems with the Wifi operation when you use the console?

In my case, all Wifi´s are displayed reliably, but I cannot connect to my WLAN. I keep getting error messages when trying to connect.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
