    The traces are very narrow on the power supply board I'm fixing - continunity check is essential to make sure that any solder hasn't bridged the gap between traces. I've managed to do it, but a very rough repair - I've scrapped off the green to reveal copper about 2 inches from the capacitor hole and put a new capacitor in and used most of it's length on the positive side to stretch over to the copper and soldered it. Done a similar job with another capacitor. Probably not safe with all that bare metal showing but I'll order some solder mask and cover it up at some point. Loved your video thanks!

For my surprise this went better than expected, I hooked up the microscope stand directly to the arm plate with the provided clamping screw. Let me tell you it works great. And the working área is now more than 50 cm Wide and long. Thanks.

    If I have a board damaged by a poor usb c port replacement attempt is an apu swap like this to a brand new board viable to save game data? I am a complete beginner... (or maybe this video was more of a cautionary tale?)

    • @NewRetroRepair
      @NewRetroRepair หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is possible but don't do it like this video. Ideally you'd need a hot air nozzle that encompasses the entire APU and a board pre-heater under the switch. You'd need to pull the APU, the cartridge reader IC and the eMMC module and move those to the new switch. If all you want is the save data, you can plug the eMMC module into a device called "mmcblkNX" and read the USER partition, as that's where the save data is. You can just copy that over to a working switch NAND module using the same adapter. You'll need the hacdiskmount software on the PC. It's fairly straightforward to do.

      @@Merchb0yy if you've got a new IR6500, be very careful. They're dangerous and potentially lethal out of the factory. Mine actually caught fire! There's a plastic terminal block under the heating elements. That block caught fire on my unit. I swapped it out for ceramic terminal blocks. I also swapped out the plastic cables that connect to the terminal block for fibre glass heat resistant wires instead. It's also not properly earthed either and the IEC connector (power cord connector) is barely able to handle the current the unit demands. The metal panels are coated in thick paint or anodized which doesn't allow sufficient electrical connection for the earthing between the different metal panels. The wires in the unit are barely rated to the current they're expected to carry. Make sure if you're in a 220-240V area you uprate the wires to at least 16 AWG.

      To a limited extent it does, sure. It's dependent on the VESA arm, the desk or workbench and weight of the microscope and where and what it's mounted to. If you mount the vesa arm to a wall it'll be more stable for example. I personally don't notice the problem much, but there is some shake present. It also depends on how much you're Zoomed in.

    Tinfoil isn't necessary and likely causing more problems then any good. If you scroll through the preheat stage you can see the board flexes concave like a bowl. This happens when you heat one side of the board more then the other, like a bimetallic strip. This is likely the reason the mod didn't take. I'd remove the tinfoil, support the board more central, equalize the temps more between upside and downside and use 4 ohm resistors on the corners to control ball merging. It's also possible the RSX was damaged from excessive temps on donor removal but that board flexing problem needs to be addressed first.
