This video should be for kids

New sub! My PS4 is fixed!

OMG thank you! I couldn’t find my problem and when i watched your video, it had the same sound ! So i found the same situation with my disk reader the flex cable was unseated!!!!

Most controllers (A and H) use this terrible design, but the latter has poorer quality membranes

jesus christ your camera is pure garbage

i know im two years late but the link for the conductive film is broken. anyone have a new link or model number that im looking for?

Hi, Very Good video, thx a lot I have a problem and I would like to know if you could help me. My Play 4 pro does not read discs, it seemed that the discs did not rotate, so I disassembled it and I did not see anything strange in it, so I decided to change the disc drive “Kes-496aaa” and now it tries to rotate the disc, but still does not read them, and I do not know what to do, what could it be?

I gave it a try and 1. there is no need for hot air, as soon as you start adding new solder the old connector goes off super easy on its own, 2. ribbon model 259t0 is a 1:1 replacement of the original SA1Q42A looks to be the same as well but I haven't tested it, no need for cutting anything (edit: don't buy it, aliexpresss copy is faulty, it does not work, it's different than the original with the same model number, they have messed up the copy) 3. use a connector with the correct number of pins - they sell both 4. when reassembling, pop out the triggers and put them in last - I wasted 30 min trying to close the case with triggers in place hahaha

There actually exists a second-revision LeapPad Academy with a Rockchip SOC and Android 10 pre-installed. In those revisions the recovery menu is now stripped down to a factory reset prompt asking the user if they want to wipe data off their LeapPad. It also has the data partition permanently encrypted so there's no way a rogue user would be able to get through it without logging in.

Id of taken one look at that PSU and thrown it away 😂

I got this for my little one as a gift. I've been trying to get this to work for a while now. I did the steps you gave, and it rebooted it. Now im back the activation code screen.

I took a big risk trying this on my broken H model, knowing there was a high chance of breaking the board... and sure enough I tore up 7 traces haha. Second time ever soldering so definitely a learning experience...

Do you know how to get past the activation screen?

it was funny :)

When I connect the ps2 controller to my PC adapter to test it, the computer doesn't recognize the pad. Do you know what could be the problem? It's not the adapter because the PC recognizes it by itself as a generic USB controller. But when the dualshock is attached, it disappears from the device manager. I know the pad works and is receiving power because if I push the "analogue" button, the red LED lights on.

Every single one of H series I came across does not work -_- if they were plain black I'd just dump them to garbage but all the pearl white are H series...

like para que se compre una camara nueva y nosotros los repuestos o un nuevo mando

One thing they overlooked is that the data partition is unencrypted, so a determined creep could just make a dump of the EMMC and pore through whatever it is the previous owner stored in it. It's a double-edged sword in terms of data recovery though, especially if there are priceless memories on the tablet and a parent would like to have those recovered somehow. My friends and I have done a lot of work on these tablets, and unlike Nabi's SE tablet which ran on much the same hardware, this one has kernel sources available so anyone could port a custom OS to this thing. Heck, I even ported TWRP to both the Epic and the Nabi SE in case anyone's interested.

what flex part number should i buy to this same case? (the flex is solder to the rigid PCB)

I am trying to follow your step and it’s not working for me when I hold the power button and volume up button

Thank you 🙏

Even I have the same controller which is the "H model" having the problem. The D-pad's up & left button and L1 & L2 does not work while the other buttons are functioning

I replaced analog but angels going everywhere 😢

❤good work 👏

Great instructions, purchased this second hand and was about to toss it. Thanks!!!!

Great video ur video help unlock the leappad

😂

Man, I wish I listened to you and not try and use the soldering iron to get the pins off... I accidentally pulled all of pins off the board lmao

Thank you!

Thank you for making such a brilliant video. Not a single other video on here talks about the drive mechanism or repairing it. Took me hours trying to figure out how the magnetic spindle pulley was supposed to go haha Everyone's always just ,,replace and throw away the old part" but soooo many old parts still work perfectly and just require a but of work. Replacement is not repair!

Life saver tysm

Hello. I have a sttrange problem. I have an H-type controller and i need to replace the flex ribbon. But instead of a soldered on connector, it has a 19-pin connector on the circuit board with 2 small tabs on the sides that needs to be pushed upwards in order to remove the flex ribbon. Normally there's a number on the flex ribbon (SA1Q43-A and such), but mine seems like a hybrid between the SA1Q43-A and a R45-0380. On the corner there's written 0285A J. I understand the SA1Q43-A has 18 pins, so that one's not compatible. The controller itself is as good as new. In fact, i can't remember ever using it. I can't find the correct replacement. Does anyone know more about this or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

capo capo

Omg thank you for your video. I was having trouble resetting my leap frog epic, and I came across your video. You are a life saver

I ask about the value of the capacitor?

Ty

Thank you for this video, i wasn't having luck resetting a leap pad academy until i came across your video!!!!!!!!!!! 👍

Thank you so much

This also works on a Leappad Academy if you forget the password thank you sooo much!!!!

Tried this on leappad platinum and can't seem to get the reboot come up. It just flashes up the leapfrog logo and goes blank again.

Has leapsearch removed content? After a factory reset we are now missing all the Pixar videos that used to show up. Not actual movies but clips

Thank you

Thank you it works on leappad academy 😊

Pressure sensitive buttons. I think that is what you meant.

Also I'm confused - these aren't crimped they're push-in, no?

What's more fun is all the ribbon cables I've seen on every video looks different lol There's no reason that I can see that they couldn't use a PCB. The pads and the button rubber are both carbon-impregnated. The rubbers are conical so when you push harder, the cone flattens out and increases conductivity which is translated as pressure. Just watch some of the cheaper ones - if there's a break in any of the pressure sensitive pads, it's an on/off switch and won't work right.

good video thanks! Just wondering why my model H controller has a 19pin connector, and i can only find 18 pin flex pcb's

Does anyone know how to do this for the older version the Leappad Ultimate, my son is autistic and this is his favorite thing ever I purchased 2 used on eBay and the seller doesn’t have the passcode nor was it factory reset.

Is my tablet just wierd or why did it only do screenshots

Thank you so much!!! I just brought one second hand and was having a hard time. Thank you!!!
