Jaymee Does a Thing

Installed my first ExtremeRate RISE 4 kit on a Midnight Black DualSense. Of course, gave it some GuliKit TMR sticks. Finally, gave it a battery upgrade. This was a fun modding project! Considering offering this as a service.

Calling it a loss. Didn’t want to risk infestation. Lesson learned: don’t buy suspiciously cheap secondhand consoles without asking questions first.

UGH, of course it’s missing screws 🤦🏾‍♀️

I’m still going through with the repair for now. If there’s a way to get a brand new shell, I’d prefer that because cleaning this infested console is going to be a HUGE pain!

I bought my first PS5 for parts. Seller claims HDMI port doesn’t work. I verified that the HDMI port doesn’t work. I open it up. Fucking roaches. 🤢

White DualSense controller for PS5. It is currently charging using a USB-C cable on the new port I installed.

Close up of the brand new USB-C port installed on the DualSense motherboard. This is to show my soldering work.

Here’s photos of my work and a video showing the USB-C Port’s connection stability.

controller from a client to work on! Cleaned the shell, membranes, and buttons. Replaced their drifting analog sticks with GuliKit TMR

That looks legit. Great find!

Aftermarket power supply that is compatible with both NES and SNES consoles. I highly recommend against buying these.

Burn-In Test results for the SNES using the aftermarket power supply. It shows a VRAM failure with distorted text across the top of the screen and mismatched characters.

An Official Nintendo Power Supply for SNES. SNS-002. I replaced the capacitor inside of it with a brand new one.

Always use OEM Power Supplies with your retro consoles! Why? Here is an SNES console running the burn-in test using a cheap, aftermarket power supply where it shows a failing VRAM. I ran the same test on the same console with an OEM Nintendo power supply and it passes the burn-in test with no errors

The motherboard of the Sega Genesis Model 2. Motherboard revision: PC BD MD2 VA0 USA. All of the old capacitors have been removed.

The motherboard of the Sega Genesis Model 2. Motherboard revision: PC BD MD2 VA0 USA. New capacitors have been installed.

Sega Genesis Model 2 powered on with 6-Pak cartridge loaded into the console. 6-Pak is a compilation cartridge that has 6 games in one cart. It has Sonic the Hedgehog, Revenge of Shinobi, Golden Axe, Columns, Streets of Rage, and Super Hang-On. The whole shell, power, and reset buttons have been deep cleaned.

I got this Sega Genesis Model 2 off eBay. The reset button was stuck but it did power on. I cleaned the cartridge connector and replaced the old capacitors with brand new ones. Then I cleaned the whole shell. Almost lost the spring for the cartridge slot dust guard flaps so that was stressful 😅

Customer’s Galactic Purple Dualsense before I worked on it. Dirty and has drift.

Sega Genesis 2 with 6-Pak loaded into it. Cartridges could not be read before. Reset button was stuck. Cleaned the top shell to fix the stuck buttons and the cartridge connector. It works…kinda

The Genesis 2 boots to the game now but there’s discoloration. That tells me that this console needs its capacitors replaced.

Busy day today! Just finished my eBay customer’s controller for service today. Cleaned it up, installed new GuliKit TMRs.

This Genesis was filthy and didn’t read carts. Reset was stuck. Cleaned the shell, buttons, and the cartridge connector. She lives but needs a recap.

There was a penny in this PS1. I don’t think it’s very lucky.

Disassembled PlayStation 1 Model SCPH-7501. PU-22 motherboard.

A box of 3 SNES’s and a Sega Genesis with a test controller, test cartridge, cartridge cleaner, and RCA to HDMI adapter to test the older consoles on modern displays.

The world may be on fire, but I am so grateful to this hobby. It’s one of the few things in life that keeps me sane other than my loved ones. I feel good knowing there are others who can benefit from my skills. That’s what keeps me going.

As a 37 year old, it only gets worse

Thank you 🙏🏾

Any recommendations on which oil to use for fan lubrication?

Aftermarket USB-C port that I installed onto a Sony DualSense motherboard, model BDM-010

I finally found a technique that makes these USB-C port swaps waaaayy easier and cleaner for me! Pretty proud of this one 😁

Glad that worked out for you! I apologize for the inconvenience and I appreciate you reaching out!

Hi! If you able able to remove the black trim of the controller, see if there is any residue on the thumbstick. Clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol. If no change, if you’re able to disassemble your controller, remove the thumbstick caps and clean them with isopropyl alcohol. Let me know how it goes!

Pro Tip: Do not put your bottle of water next to your bottle of 99% isopropyl alcohol.

The section of a PS5 controller’s motherboard where the USB-C port should be installed. All of the solder pads except the anchor points for the USB-C port were torn off during the removal. The connector inside the USB-C port was wobbly to the touch and would not detect a USB cable which is why I wanted to replace the port. I used Chip-Quik and plenty of flux on all the joints and applied at least 420 degrees Celsius of heat from my hot air gun. I’m not sure what went wrong but I suspect it was from how wobbly the internal connector was which may have torn the traces or I may not have applied enough heat to that particular area that got torn off. I’m not sure. Either way, this will be a frustrating fix once I do more research. Worst case scenario, I’ll use this controller for parts.

Broken microphone flex cable on a different PS5 controller. This is a simple fix but it’s also a reminder to slow down when opening any controller, especially PS5 controllers.

How my week’s going 🙃

Brand new HDMI port installed into a PS4 Slim

Freshly repaired PS4 Slim has been reset after installing the PS4 software on a brand new Crucial BX500 1TB SSD.

Got a PS4 Slim for $30 untested. Powered on, but no picture. Decided to replace the HDMI port. Pretty proud for my first time! Definitely some growing pains. But I think replacing USB-C ports helped the learning process. I’m so pumped to play Bloodborne again! 🥹

New GuliKit TMR joysticks installed on the Xbox Series controller motherboard.

Red Camo Xbox Series controller on a stand with new GuliKit joysticks and thumbsticks on display. Below the controller are the original joysticks and thumbsticks that were pre-installed in the controller. Since the joysticks were defective from drift and the thumbsticks were gross and falling apart, they were replaced with the GuliKit joysticks and thumbsticks.

Testing the controller after installation and calibration of the new joysticks. The left joystick shows an average error of 4.7% and the right stick shows an average error of 6.1% while testing its circularity.

Got a Red Camo Xbox Series controller from Mercari. The seller mentioned it had really bad drift. I replaced the old analog sticks with GuliKit TMR joysticks. Cleaned and disinfected the entire controller. Safe to say, this controller won’t be drifting anymore. Now to get a battery cover for it.
